And I'll probably looked like a maniac persecuted him . Yes, he and Oprah Winfrey. They both. Oprah changed my vision of what I become, and Steven had a tremendous influence on my acting skills. I think he is the best. And the fact that I was given a chance to appear in the film to his studio and talk to him, makes me ceaselessly repeating, "Oh, my God!"

Director of controversial film series "The human centipede" Tom Six said in his twitter that the third part is going to link the five hundred men. I wonder whether the project be allowed to release the British censors?
Dutch director became known for horror film "The human centipede." The picture was published in 2009 and almost immediately gained cult status in a number of moviegoers. Two American women are victims of sickening experiments, the German surgeon who is going to connect more people with the aim of creating a single digestive system. What and where to sew the good doctor, you can imagine, in spite of the film.
Interestingly, the film that investors had no idea how the surgeon creates a maniac, his "centipede", so that the result has been seriously confused. Six himself admits that inspired David Cronenberg movies and Japanese horror, but prefers more realistic approach to cinema.
In America, "The human centipede" has not received release deals, so that was shown in New York and several theaters. The reaction of the public, gazed at various film festivals, and reached the gag reflex. Tom Six realized that he had a hit on his hands, and took the second film.
Sequel to a straightforward name "Human centipede 2" was originally conceived as a release for home video. In the story of a maniac surgeon linked to the centipede 12. In England, censorship is forbidden to release the film as distributors are not cut out 32 most sickening moment. At the show in the U.S., held at the Fantastic Fest in Austin, film distributors IFC Films distributed hygiene packs to audience.
The negative reviews of the sequel did not stop director from the work on the third film. "The human centipede 3", according to the Six's tweet will be collected from more than 500 people. "This is an American-style XXXXL!" - Wrote Tom. A few days ago, the director wrote that he started casting, and the performers of the main roles require great courage. In the language of English idioms, they have to grow eggs. In a figurative sense.
Tom Six is planning to shoot the third film this spring in the U.S.
Warner adaptation of Knights of the Round Table

Exorbitantly high budgets of studio projects sometimes cause freeze the picture, but sometimes there are happy-endings. For example, last December, Warner pulled up work on a film by David Dobkin, "Arthur and Lancelot," because of financial difficulties. But this week the project came to life again, and the role of Lancelot can play Colin Farrell.
Last summer, the studio has paid two million dollars for the scenario of "Arthur and Lancelot," who wrote Dobkin. Details of the plot were not disclosed, but we know that this is a new look at the history of the Knights of the Round Table. According to insiders, the main and most interesting role in the project - Lancelot, but not the Arthur, as many believe. Perhaps, therefore, first of all confirmed actor for the role of Lancelot. His was to play a Swede Youel Kinnaman.
Arthur would play Keith Harrington of the television series "The Game of Thrones," but as an actor dropped out of the picture due to Dobkin shooting schedule. However, as others say insiders, one of the main problems was the lack of movie star names. So Warner canceled the shooting, which was planned to start in January of this year.
Now David Dobkin invited Colin Farrell to play Lancelot. I can not say that the Irish actor absolutely ensure the project fund. However, the comedy "Bores bosses" has earned with his participation in the worldwide box office of over 200 million dollars, but can not say that Farrell was the first violin of the film. As an action hero, we see Colin in the summer, when there will be a remake of the fantasy "Total Recall".
The role of the magician Merlin offered Gary Oldman, the actor refused. Rumor has it that Warner is going to turn again to the Oldman with the proposal.
Recall that because of "Arthur and Lancelot» Warner closed two projects on the Knights of the Round Table. One of them was going to shoot Bryan Singer, and another - Guy Ritchie.

Biographical film "The Drummer" of the drummer for the band The Beach Boys Dennis Wilson can not be considered an expensive Hollywood project, which, however, does not interfere with this independent film to gain a solid cast. Aaron Eckhart plays the main character, Vera Farmiga - participant of the group Fleetwood Mac, Christine McVie. Also in the film will be occupied Chloe Grace Moretz and Rupert Grint.
Dennis Wilson was not only a drummer, but also the founder of The Beach Boys, which included brothers Brian and Carl Wilson and Mike Love's cousin. The group was formed at the suggestion of Dennis in August 1961 and immediately gained popularity due to the songs about surfing. Despite the fact that the image of the group was based on a California beach and surfing culture, from all the participants only Dennis is really surfed.
The Beach Boys influenced the formation of many musicians, including Elton John and Fleetwood Mac. As far as Dennis Wilson, his role in the group had not been a leading - sometimes Brian Wilson hired drummer to record albums. Dennis resigned to the situation, but eventually began to record solo projects. His only solo album Pacific Ocean Blue was released in 1977 and became a cult album a few years later, after the death of Dennis - he was drowned December 28, 1983, while in an intoxicated state.
Note that The Beach Boys drummer was familiar with Charles Manson, who in the late 1960s, was interested in music career. Manson and his commune "Family" often stayed in the house of drummer, who introduced Charles to the producer Terry Melcher. For some time he was interested in Manson's album, but ultimately refused. It was assumed that suppressed anger at the man who rejected his music, and resulted in the brutal murder of the wife of director Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate of her house guests, as Melcher once lived in it.
Star of movie "Kick Ass" and "Hugo" Chloe Moretz plays the daughter of Dennis Wilson, Jennifer. Jennifer Wilson, she is one of the producers of the film.
Rupert Grint, familiar audience for the franchise, "Harry Potter", won the role of Stan Shapiro, mail delivery man in the company of William Morris and a friend of Dennis in the last years of his life.
At the helm of "Drummer" is director Randall Miller, whose latest film "Bottle Shock" was released in 2008 (it starred Chris Pine and Alan Rickman). Filming will begin on June 15. The plot of "Drummer" will focus on the last six years of Dennis Wilson life.

Distraught Keller decides for himself to deal with the matter, finds a man who believed involved in the crime, and takes hostages.

But only after Mark Wahlberg in 2009 drew attention to this mix the "Seven" and "Silence of the Lambs," as it described a scenario, the project began to take shape. But then, in 2009, nothing happened. Since Guzikovsky became known in Hollywood as a writer of "Contraband," but for "Prisoners" were used a variety of directors.
The first laid eyes on a project Bryan Singer. It was he who had to make a film with Wahlberg. But as time went on, "Prisoners" does not move off the ground, and Singer began to shoot fairy tale "Jack – the giants’ killer". Since then, the director's chair of "Prisoners" was seized by David O. Russell and Daniel Espinoza, but the last was by Antoine Fuqua. The director of "King Arthur" planned to work on the "Prisoners" in March of 2010, and the film even got a release date - October 22, 2010. Starring Hugh Jackman was listed, but, as you might guess, then, too, did not work.

Back in March of 2007, Scorsese and DiCaprio announced a desire to work on, "Wolf," but the director and the actor could not manage to agree on work schedules. In addition, the studio Warner and Paramount could not share the project. In 2010, the film showed interest in Ridley Scott - by the time he also managed to collaborate with DiCaprio, shot him in political thriller "Body of Lies." Once again, the history of a broker was unrealized.
About a year ago, the rights to "Wolf" was acquired by Red Granite Pictures, and then Martin Scorsese once again expressed his desire to shoot a picture. The director said that he would film the book of Belfort after the movie "Hugo".
Adaptation of the "Wolf of Wall Street" was engaged in Terence Winter, writer and executive producer of TV series "The Sopranos" and "The Boardwalk Empire." He will once again walk on his work before, in August of 2012, Martin Scorsese will begin filming.

Hollywood has long chosen to the biography of South African President Nelson Mandela, but came from the other side. Mandela appeared in "Invictus" and Clint Eastwood drama "Winnie" on the second wife of the president, but Nelson himself remained in the shadow. Perhaps the picture, directed by Justin Chadwick's "Long Walk to Freedom” will correct this mistake. Nelson Mandela could play Idris Elba, whereas the role of Winnie Mandela's got a new Bond girl Naomi Harris.
According to Screen Daily, a project Chadwick will be epic scope. The film will cover the full life of Nelson Mandela, including his imprisonment, which lasted 27 years. Winnie Nelson was the second wife of politician. They were married in the late '50s, when the famous Mandela has just started to gain momentum. Divorced his wife in 1996.
Earlier in film biography of Mandela undertook a variety of directors. In the nineties, Morgan Freeman could play the South African president in the film of Shekhar Kapur. In the end, Freeman has embodied this image from Clint Eastwood. Tom Hooper recently looked in the direction of Mandela biopic, but then came "The King’s speech” and director's career went in another direction. The history of relations between Nelson and Winnie is reflected in the Anglo-French TV movie "Mrs. Mandela", where the couple played by David Harewood politicians and Sophie Okonedo, but about the full meter Mandela has not yet been formed.
A few weeks ago it became known that the star of series "The Wire," Idris Elba is attributed to the role of Mandela in the project producer Anand Sinha. Recently, Singh drew a picture of the director staged "Another one of a kind Boleyn" Justin Chadwick, with whom he worked on the drama "The Pioneer".
The script for "Long Road to Freedom" written by William Nicholson, twice nominated for "Oscar" for scripts for the films "The Land of Shadows" and "Gladiator." He also had a hand in composing historical melodrama "First Knight" and worked on a sequel to "Elizabeth" called "Golden Age".
Today the company to Chadwick and Elbe was added British actress Naomi Harris. She played a witch Tiyu Dalma in "Pirates of the Caribbean" and is now removed in the 23th of the film 007. Harris also worked with Chadwick over the "Pioneer".
