The tenth studio album by British rockers The Rolling Stones «Exile on Main Street» is one of the best recordings of the group. The eccentric entrepreneur Richard Branson, founder of record label Virgin, found the story quite interesting record of the plate to turn it into a feature film.
By the spring of 1971, the band was in great debt to its native Britain, but to pay all taxes, Mick Jagger and his friends could not, which led to their departure from London. Jagger settled in Paris, while guitarist Keith Richards rented a villa near Nice. The other band members were scattered in the south of France. Basement Richards' villa converted into a studio where he recorded album «Exile on Main Street».
Then the group split with its manager Allen Klein, as a result of losing the right to trial a number of his compositions, written before 1971.
Working in the basement into a continuous party: changing session musicians, guests came, the flowed river of alcohol, and through the veins of Keith Richards with a vengeance ran heroin. Released in May 1972 «Exile on Main Street» was warmly received by critics and is still considered one of the best albums in the history of rock music.
History of the plate has already been shown on the screen recently - in 2010 released a documentary film "Rolling Stones" in exile". The project will be Branson's book by Robert Greenfield, "Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones”, published in 2008. The film tells about the personal and professional relationship between Jagger and Richards, and the script will write brothers Brandon and Phil Murphy, whose studio Sony has recently invited to write a biopic about Steve McQueen.
Branson and Jagger band brings together not just a future film project: a 90-company Virgin Richard has released three albums of rockers.
Note that the "Exile on Main Street" is not the only project on the "Rolling." In September will be released documentary on the fiftieth anniversary of the group, which now takes Brett Morgan.

As to the manner in which the film is, then, according to Jensen, it will be a mixed style: "Something will remove in the style of "Dogma", hand-held camera, something to take off nicely, with the help of a crane and a good camera."
As mentioned earlier, von Trier will give two versions of the film - hard and relaxed, in which all the "dangerous" parts of the bodies of actors will be blurred.

Adapt the book for the big screen will be brothers Mark and Jay Dyuplassy. They have already proved themselves in the independent film, removing the black comedy "Cyrus," where John Hill, John C Reilly prevented to meet with Marisa Tomei.
The main characters of "Mule", James and Kate - representatives of the gilded youth of the late twentieth century.

Supporters and opponents of the three-dimensional cinematography will be curious to know the results of a study conducted by Opinion Research Corporation among Americans older than 18 years. 52% of respondents saw the movie in 3D, and 71% of them prefer usual two-dimensional session.
Opinion of Research Corporation surveyed 1,011 Americans aged 18 years. Of these, only 52% saw at least one film in 3D in the past three years. Among the 71% watched stereoscopic viewers said they would choose a session in 3D, while 31% said viewing experience "incredible."
The results of each case study with a strong desire can be interpreted in different ways. Hollywood and companies promoting 3D, clung to the figure of 71% and warn that the majority of Americans prefer three-dimensional movies.
"The audience wisely choose which movies to watch in 3D, but according to our results, they clearly understand that watching a movie in 3D is much more entertaining, more interesting and more valuable," - says the president of the international community to 3D, Jim Chebin. The survey was commissioned by the community, so anywhere in the message are the words of its president.
However, the numbers tell a somewhat different, as the authors website / film. Of the 526 people in 1011 saw the films in 3D, and if you take from the 52% even 71%, you get that from 1011 only 373 people surveyed would prefer a three-dimensional two-dimensional films. It's a little more than a third of the respondents.
The name of the article in Variety says: "The poll showed the audience that the best movies are in 3D." It would be more correct to call it a "One-third of Americans prefer to watch movies in 3D», but Hollywood would love it a lot less.
“The Hobbit” trailer on CinemaCon

Theater owners congregate in Las Vegas for a convention CinemaCon, ambiguously estimated 10 minutes of the film Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit", submitted after the opening words of the director. Despite the increased clarity, filmed and shown at 48 frames per second, and many are unhappy.
The presentation touched on various Warner studio projects, including "Dark Shadows" by Tim Burton, "The Great Gatsby" Baz Luhrmann and "The Dark Knight: The Legend Continues" by Christopher Nolan.
Timur Bekmambetov received an award as best foreign film director working in Hollywood. The award was presented by Tim Burton, the producer of the upcoming movie Timur "President Lincoln: Vampire Hunter."
"Timur Bekmambetov - one of the few directors who can make the Russian film understandable and attractive to the world" - said the managing director of CinemaCon Mitch Neuhauser.
Coming on the scene, Tim Burton joked that he could not imagine who of directors may be better to make a film about an American president, rather than Russian. Accepting the award, Bekmambetov said a few words about a new project: "This is a very unusual film. Not a sequel nor prequel. It's a different story about the great man who changed the world in the nineteenth century. "
But back to Peter Jackson. For years, filmmakers have made films at 24 frames per second, but when James Cameron said that the continuation of "Avatar" will shoot at 48 frames per second, the film industry has a serious cause for reflection. The first initiative supported by Cameron Jackson, began to work on the "Hobbit" at double speed.
Since the director is in New Zealand, he wrote an appeal to the visitors of CinemaCon, which read: "The new rate gives the illusion of real life, the movements are smoothed out and lost strobe effect." Indeed, 10 minutes, is shown after Jackson appeared. The first frame in which the camera flies over the rock, struck viewers clarity - even documentaries about nature, can not be removed with such quality.
However, when it came to the emergence of actors in costumes, the effect is somewhat blurry. Every movement of the characters were so clear that many of the audience began to complain of a lack of cinematic seen. "It looks like a TV movie - said one of the projectionist blog LA Times. - Too reliable, too clearly. In contrast, something is wrong - or dark or too bright. "
One of Los Angeles reacted to what he saw Booker with great enthusiasm, but said: "The question is whether audiences are ready to watch such realistic films. I expected a small difference, but it was great! Will this affect the narrative? I do not know. But judging by the ten minutes I will not. "
The realism of "The Hobbit" recalled one owner of a small chain of movie theaters effects blu-ray: «When I first saw the movie on blu-ray, we noticed that the heat is gone perception. The whole movie seemed to me material about the shooting, shot at a normal video camera. " Among other comparisons, and called soap operas, which are captured on video.
Jackson has another eight months before release, and it is likely to respond to words such as visitors CinemaCon. But now a new technology begins to cause skepticism, both in time and promoted by James Cameron 3D.
