Interview with Gary Oldman

The hero of Commissioner James Gordon - Gary Oldman in an interview with our resource shared his thoughts on the final part of the franchise "The Dark Knight Rises".
- Without hesitation you can be called the soul of the franchise "The Dark Knight." How is Gordon in the third film?
"In fact, I can not say much about it, since vowed not to disclose (smiles), but when we meet with Jim in" The Renaissance legend, "we will see that Gotham has become calmer, and he recalls Gordon to us as it was the first movie. He got fed up world, and, although it seems that on the surface of the peace and quiet, and he was able to reduce crime, it is clear that all boils down."
- And this hell is going to escape.
"Well, a certain amount of hell should break out. It's "The Dark Knight 2" (laughs).
- I understand that you are obliged to remain silent, but still, what can we expect?
"I think the story is, really, good. It will meet your expectations. Can’t say more."
- When people come out of the theater, what will they think?
"That is impressive. It's a great final trilogy. Nolan completes the circle begun by him: he introduces elements of the first film," Batman Beginning "and makes amazing things. I think his choice of villain, is very interesting - instead use the Riddler Bane or Penguin. He did not choose the obvious. The most demanding task for Chris has always been the story itself. I think it had a certain amount of pressure, mainly due to the incredible success of "The Dark Knight." This kind of pressure is always exists in case of success. But Chris is too smart and good enough to make the third film just for the fact of shooting, just because someone wants or needs that from him, and I'm sure he thinks so: "Let me sort things out”. Therefore, the fans will not be disappointed. Do you like movies about the Dark Knight?"
- Oh, yes, very much. Can not wait for "The Dark Knight 2."
"I think it will really captivate you. It was very interesting work."
- Are you sorry that the series came to an end?
"Well, yes and no. I can not tell you my feeling, but at the site was something, something which is relevant to Batman, and I told the producer Emma Thomas:" You must remember this. "And she said:" I do not know, we have already accumulated a mass of memories. "After 8 years, everything ends and I feel relief mixed with sadness. It was a sad day, last night shooting, and - Jim Gordon resigned."

On the set of thriller "The Iceman" is one more replacement. Instead of Maggie Gyllenhaal unsuspecting spouse of serial killer will play Winona Ryder. Previously, from the project has dropped out James Franco and was replaced by Benicio Del Toro.
Richard Kuklinski serial killer (this role is still going to play Michael Shannon) developed his infamous activities in the 50s of last century. He worked for the Gambino family, namely, the mobsters Roy Deme, and enjoyed the reputation of unquestioning executor. At the same time Kuklinski was a loving father and a wonderful family man. Family and neighbors had no clue what he was doing really. Killer was caught in 1986. He claimed that in 30 years has killed over 200 people.
Chris Evans was replaced by James Franco as a mentor of Kuklinski, Mr. Soft. Deme had to play Benicio Del Toro, but the actor refused, and was replaced by Ray Liotta. Also, the project engaged David Schwimmer - one of the "Friends" will embody on the screen a murderer Josh Rosenthal.
Winona Ryder recently is rarely seen on the screen. She flashed in "Star Trek" as Spock's mother, played a prima ballerina in the resignation of the "Black Swan" and showed up in an unsuccessful comedy of Ron Howard's "Dilemma." Next year, Ryder will be seen in the thriller "Surveillance" in which she co-starred with James Franco.
Director Ariel Vromen will begin filming of "Iceman" in the coming days.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has left the project because of pregnancy - the actress expecting her second child.

Reese Witherspoon plays the mother of killed boy
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
The story of three teenagers charged in the brutal murder of three boys, was called in the Western press "The case of trinity of West Memphis". There are several documentaries, and now director Atom Egoyan prepares and artistic version. In the drama "The Devil's Knot" Reese Witherspoon plays the mother of one of the victims.
In spring 1993, three eight years boys from the city Arkansas mysteriously disappeared. Stevie Branch, Michael Moore and Christopher Byers were found the next day after police received a statement about the disappearance of children. All three were found at the bottom of the creek naked and bound. Police arrested three teenagers from 16 to 18 years, because all the killings were accompanied by injury of organs and were considered satanic rituals, and these three had long hair and black clothes, as well as listening to music Metallica and other heavy groups.
16-year-old Jason Baldwin, a 17-year-old Jesse Misskilli and 18-year Damien Echols were previously involved in vandalism and theft. The court sentenced Echols to death, and Baldwin and Misskilli - to life imprisonment. But the real and convincing evidence of the involvement of adolescents in the killings have not been found.
Case of the "trinity of West Memphis" has done a lot of noise. Many stars demanded the release of the guys who are serving time for lack of evidence. Johnny Depp, Peter Jackson, Henry Rollins, Marilyn Manson, for several years fought for the liberation of the Trinity.
In 2007, as a result of DNA tests from the crime scene were established that none of the prisoners had relation to the boy's death. August 19, 2011, "the trio of West Memphis" was released on freedom after 18 years spent behind bars.
At the heart of the Egoyan movie is a book of Mary Levitt Egoyan "The Devil's Knot: A True Story of the trio of West Memphis". The script was written by Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman. They worked on the project since 2006, when the film is scheduled to shoot in the studio Dimension. Egoyan recently with Bordman walked through the scenario and have guided the final touches.
Reese Witherspoon plays Pamela Hobbs, mother of one of the dead boys. Initially, Hobbs believed that her son had been killed by Baldwin and Echols Misskilli, but eventually reassured her opinion.
The film's budget of Atom Egoyan does not exceed $ 20 million. Filming is scheduled for summer of next year.
In January of 2012 at a film festival, "Sundance" will be shown a documentary “West of Memphis”, produced by Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh.

SAG noted French actor Jean Dujardin and Berenice Bezho for the role of a black and white silent film "Artist" - it's something that, while foreign actors trickle in major U.S. competitors such awards is very rare.

Saoirse Ronan has gotten a role at MacDonald project
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Irish actress Saoirse Ronan will have to survive on the big screen again like in the thriller "Hannah". Director of "The Last King of Scotland" Kevin MacDonald confirmed her at the lead role in his new project "How I Live Now”.
The project is based the novel of Meg Rosoff.
15-year-old Daisy lives in New York, but every summer she goes to England to spend a vacation on a farm with her aunt in the company of her cousin Edmond. Daisy spends some idyllic weeks in Edmond, falls in love with him, but suddenly England has been attacked and began a long occupation. During this time, Daisy turns out narcissistic teenage girl in a bold, ready to defend her close people.
McDonald's last work in film was the documentary "Life in a day."
In one of interviews he told a bit about the upcoming project: "The story takes place not in the future. Rather, it is an alternate version of this. Heroes - teenagers. They have a first love, but suddenly starts World War III. They are trying to survive and be reunited. Who unleashes a war we did not know, because all events are shown through the eyes of teenagers. They live in their own secluded world that falls apart when the war begins. They need to somehow survive, but what going on is, they do not try to understand. "
Interestingly, the publication of Variety, announcing the appointment of Ronan in the film, points out that things are moving against the background of World War II. While it is difficult to say that this - the media error, or changes that have occurred with the project at design time.
Saoirse Ronan now acted in Neil Jordan's thriller "Byzantium." Director could not find funding for the project for a long time. Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan play vampire, mother and daughter.
Miss Ronan next year will appear in the adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's "The Guest". And in summer she will appear in drama "Violet and Daisy".

Each year, in Hollywood is published a "Black List" of scenarios. 2011 was no exception. More than 300 filmmakers have called dozens of the most interesting projects, which so far exist only on paper. Topping the list is a biographical drama about the mathematician Alan Turing, who wants to play Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Black List" is published each December in Hollywood since 2004. Vote for the scripts for the most part representatives of the studios, so that in the "black list" are scenarios in which the film company interested in, but can’t put into production.
In 2011, the list includes 73 positions. Among these projects are not only unknown, but the scripts, films which are already in production, but whose shooting this year has not begun.
We present here the top ten, of such scenarios:
1. "The Imitation Game", the author - Graham Moore. History of the English cryptographer Alan Turing, who managed to crack the German code "Enigma". Later suffered persecution because of his sexual orientation and suicide.
2. "When the Street Lights Go On", the authors - Chris Hutton and Eddie O'Keefe. The action develops in the early '80s. In the city are brutally murdered schoolgirl and teacher.

5. "Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and Eskimo Kisses", the author - Matthew Aldrich. A man hiding from the three crimes, along with his accomplice, eleven-year-old daughter. The project has interested Matt Damon, and even considered him as his directorial debut.
6. "In the Event of a Moon Disaster", the author - Mike Jones. The history of the mission of the spacecraft "Apollo-11", exploring the alternative scenario for emergency landing astronauts on the moon.
7. "Maggie", the author - John Scott. In America is spreading a virus that turns people into zombies. Farmers family helps their eldest daughter to cope with the transformation of a walking dead woman, who hunger for human flesh.
8. "The Current War", the author - Michael Mitnick. In a scenario are real events. Confrontation of Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse in the fight for the use of AC and DC.
9. "The End", the author - Aron Eli Kolayti. An elderly London radio host, 16-year-old girl and her boyfriend from Michigan, as well as a family man from Shanghai, try to clean up their lives for 6 hours before the end of the world.
10. "Beyond the Pale", the author - Chad Fien. Teens suspected that the owner of the town undertaker warmed them, and decide to take revenge. In fact, the story takes far more sinister turn.
Apparently, the topic of zombies and vampires are not going to leave the screens. So, on the 14th place of the "Black List" is a script by Larry Brenner entitled "Bethlehem", where a group of people trying to survive in a zombie invasion and conclude an alliance with the vampires, giving themselves as a food for bloodsuckers in order to protect against undead.
Screenplay by Dave Cohen "Subject Zero" tells about a scientist who develops the potent drug, designed to revive his son, who died in a car accident. Unfortunately, the virus creates a loving father, generating zombies and spread with incredible speed.
Of course, in the list there are also romantic comedies, historical dramas, and even a story about how Walt Disney got the rights to the "Mary Poppins" (the script is called "Saving Mr. Banks").
Interview with Daniel Radcliffe

MTV resource at the annual "Thanksgiving Week" has taken an interview with Daniel Radcliffe, "the actor, whom we are extremely grateful in 2011."
- Daniel, this is your first full year without Harry Potter. How has it passed?
"It was a great year, it was very successful. I have completed some projects that are now very proud, especially the musical "How to Succeed in Business without doing anything". The process of working on it, regular runs and rehearsals, as a result of I've been able to improve my game, gave me great pleasure. It was a cool year, but I think the next one will be even better. It will be released "The Woman in Black", and I still have planned a couple of projects. The next two or three years will be very important in my career, and if 2011 was not a watershed year in my life, it can be called just a start. "
- The most memorable event for you this year was ...?
"Definitely, speech at the ceremony of Tony Awards. We were the first who opened the ceremony and had a very strange feeling, preparing for the show. I was not nervous for a long time. Suddenly, a huge screen sails up, and you find yourself with the guys on stage for all to see and feel like a prize in a game-show, noting how at you from the front row watching Al Pacino, who sat next to Bobby Cannavale and Mark Raylens - all these wonderful actors - and you should now speak with your speech. It was probably the most surreal triumphant moment this year - performing at the Tony Awards. It was cool, and someday I will certainly tell about this to my grandchildren. "
- What have you learned about yourself and your abilities as an actor?
"I learned one very important thing, and I have yet to learn how to use it in my career, whether it be play, comedy or drama - the more I try to restrain and suppress my natural eccentricity, the worse I play. I'm pretty impetuous in my movements and jerk ... I realized that in the process of trying my best to be somebody else, and actually, I should learn to behave naturally on stage and in film. I have to understand the next lesson: Do not be shy of your strangeness. Enjoy it. "
- Would you like to star in a musical?
"Oh, yes, my doubts about participation in the" How to Succeed ... "was due to the fact that I was playing one role over the years I spent at Harry very long time. Now I want in track to be a lot of various characters. Yes, I really want to play in a musical. "
- Looking for Potter, and, remembering that after all you went through during the final part of the promotion of "Deathly Hallows," do you not remember anything unusual?
"Oh no, everything was as usual. During these crazy days when you have time to give a few interviews to go on the red carpet, talk to fans, you'll shut up slowly, turn on the autopilot and only beg that, by the end of promo tours are not go crazy. I was also a little bothered that I was not so upset as the others. One day I saw crying Rupert, it was the last day of filming, and when I was pretty sad, but I had never seen Rupert such emotional as he was at premiere ... I can no longer continue to talk about how I loved the time spent on the set of "Potter." It was the most amazing, happiest moments in my life, but all good things must end. We can’t do the same thing forever. And as long as the viewers will want from us that it will be terrible. I am very glad that I took part in the project, which ended on a good note, and that now, like everyone else I move forward. "
- You hope to continue cooperation with JK Rowling?
"Yes, very much hope so. With those who are directly and indirectly had a great influence on my life, of course, I hope. I do not know whether she is going to write anything else about Harry, and perhaps many years later I myself will shoot something about him - we did well with him to know each other. "
- Looking for 10 years ahead, how do you think, what will you do - your best and worst-case scenario?
"My worst nightmare that in 10 years later I do not work at all and do nothing. Even if after 5 years, I suddenly decide to leave the film industry and become an archaeologist, well, that would be cool. The best scenario, over 10 years I will be behind some great movies, I do not know exactly how much ... well, if we assume that the eight parts of the "Potter" we rented for 10 years, will double this number ... say, 16 pictures? Who knows?”
