"Nympho" keeps track of erotic woman's life from birth to 50 years. The first part will be in childhood and adolescence, whereas the second part will focus on the adult stage. 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.

- What were you in high school?
Jonah Hill: I have bleached hair. I always wanted to look like Eminem!
Channing Tatum: I played football and wore a sports jacket, and waited when I finish school. On the day of school graduation I was so happy that couldn’t find the place. Not that everything was so bad, just school was not that place that I liked.
- What would you change if you could go back to school now?
Jonah Hill: I would organize a drama group. Perhaps I would find like-minded people, and although all of my present friends - school, while I'm embarrassed that they will laugh at me if I'll make theater. And probably I would have met a really good girl because she would have liked that I'm so sensitive.
Channing Tatum: I think I would have done some things differently, but only on condition that all turned out to exactly how it happened. I am satisfied with the current state of affairs. And really regret not having listened to what I was told in school. I always sat in the head by one thought: "I do not understand why I do this or that. I do not know how I will use this knowledge in my future life."
- Anything from what you learned about today's school life, shocked you?
Jonah Hill: I think I'll like the 150-year old man, but it's - technical literacy of young people. They live through Facebook and the like, and I do not use these things. I prefer to talk.
- How much time had you need both to get on the site?
Channing Tatum: I would say that we agreed immediately. John - very funny, funny guy, and I really enjoyed talking with him. If we were friends at school, we certainly would bulling nights on the phone, and then be late for the first lesson, because slept it (laughs).
Jonah Hill: We are asking all the time, we were friends at school, because our screen heroes do not play well. I think we would have been best friends. We are from different places, but have a very similar perception of the laws of friendship. I rarely like to talk with someone so closely as to this guy. We are constantly hangover together. Last night I caught myself thinking: "I missed Channing. We have not seen for several hours." We live in the same hotel, and I wanted to know what he was doing at the moment!
- How does the school, "title" you would have awarded each other?
Jonah Hill: I think "best athlete" or anything else related to sports.
Channing Tatum: Do you know how to be "The best around"? Ask John.
- John, how did nomination for the award "Oscar" for the film "Moneyball" affect your career?
Jonah Hill: I finally got the glory of my family! I noticed that I began to offer roles in different genres, not just in the comedy. And I have this insanely rad. I'm really looking forward to when we start working on the project of Brad Pitt "True Story", in which we, with James Franco will play the main roles. And I plan to play in a movie with all my old school pals - Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel, and Danny McBride and Craig Robinson, James Franco and over again. It's called "Apocalypse."
- What do you both enjoy doing on weekends?
Channing Tatum: I love to sleep. On Sundays I generally do not do anything but just sit and play with my dog. Our house has a small patio, so we're sitting, lying, sleep there.
Jonah Hill: Watch movies, lying in bed - that's my dream!
The triumph of tradition. Results of “Oscar 2012″
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Culminating ceremony of the 84th "Oscar" in general, has not brought any significant surprises. Some sort of surprise caused except that the distribution of a number of awards in technical categories. And this terry stability, absence of live energy - is the main problem and the main Message Boards around the world.
All the winners in the major categories are worthy of their golden statuettes. Well, how can the success of the protest to call Meryl Streep, claimed the "Oscar" for the 17th! time? Does anyone turns to challenge to dispute the victory of Octavia Spencer, created on the screen such colorful image? If anyone dares to question the acting skills of Christopher Plummer, who for 60 years of his career, won Academy Awards for the first time? In the end, hardly anyone would be against the triumph of Jean Dujardin, perhaps, is not endowed with the talent level, Gary Oldman, but very bright flashed in black and white design.
Actually, this very project, which was quite a bold experiment with form in a very straightforward content, of course, worthy of the highest ratings, as well as its creator, Michel Hazanavichus. In short, all five "Oscars" of "Artist" is well deserved.
Much the same can be said about awards of "Hugo", maybe only a small degree of doubt when it comes to the category "Best Special Effects" and "Best Sound". But in the end, the film academy had every right to dispose of their Gold statuettes that way, and no really weighty argument against it is impossible to find.
In a situation where the list of winners was so boring predictable, and the complete absence among participants of the battle for top honors this blockbuster has not caused increased interest in the ceremony, the only hope for its recovery was associated with the return of almost legendary Billy Crystal. After all, his name is associated with the best, in terms of ratings, during the ceremonies of "Oscar".
But alas. His enchanting solo numbers, and full of subtle humor monologues, apparently, in the past. Either the Crystal older and has lost his former ease, whether the writers wrote their texts based on Eddie Murphy and did not alter them for a new leader, but the show did not happen. That is, like there were impromptu and good jokes, but the overall impression was reduced to an unworthy talent of Crystal definition of "nothing."
Of course, record the number of ceremonies performed on the stage looked much better than last year's youth and organically, and that it could lead to name just a joke. But still ... "No way". And even the famous circus troupe, which presented, as stated, the biggest number only emphasized his dullness of what is happening on the stage of cinema Kodak.
Experts have yet to calculate the rankings, analyze and explain the numbers of individual failures. But it is absolutely clear that we need serious reform of the Academy Awards. It's time to dilute the old man with the young blood that will more clearly understand the ossified brains to a new audience expectations and demands of modern times. Indeed, according to statistics, the vast majority of cinema academics - are men from 50 to 60 years and older. And in this age group tend to greatly mistaken about the value of their life experiences to similar events.
Before the screen is sitting a long time since the generation that sees the world through fiber-optic networks, legacy of Steve Jobs and extremely compressed space of Twitter. Just do not call Chris Rock, James Franco and others like them. Try to return Hugh Jackman, for example. And turn to the list of nominees the next "Fast and the Furious."
Oscar will not move

When the end of January there was talk about the transition to the American Academy electronic voting system, immediately intensified rumors about moving the awards ceremony, "Oscar" at the earliest possible time. Unfortunately, the "Oscars" are still in February, and in 2014, can generally be awarded in March.
Back in the fall of 2011 Film Academy was thinking about the transfer ceremony in 2013 to 27 January. "Oscars" for some time wanted to move to earlier dates in order to keep the intrigue. Now, when the guild is almost completely decided the fate of the main Message Boards, the audience is less and less interested in direct translation.
However, by the end of November insiders talk about the impossibility of translation. The fact that in the event of early "Oscars" ceremony, like the rest of awarding the "Golden Globe», BAFTA, and all of the same variety of rewards and guild will have to endure. As one anonymous insider: "I do not understand why they need it? "Oscar" - a Super Cinema! What does it feel? We all compared to the Academy Award playoffs. "
Film Academy then decided to switch to electronic voting system. Despite the fact that hacking "Oscars" will be a blue dream hackers moviegoers, this week it was reported that due to Internet voting on nominees 'Oscar' in 2013 will be announced a few days earlier, on 15 January 2013th. For comparison, this year's nominees are known to January 24.
Since Sunday, February 3, 2013-th, is already in Super Bowl, which airs on channel ABC, as well as "Oscar," Feb. 10 awards ceremony will take place on the British Academy (BAFTA), and "Grammy", then the earliest date for the "Oscars" Next year - 17 February. However, as it became known today, the American Film Academy has decided to hold their next awards ceremony on February 24, 2013.
As of 2014, here in the course of the measured Oscar intervenes Sports - Olympic Games in Sochi will be held from 7 to 23 February. When the "Oscar" is near the Olympic Winter Games, Film Academy usually moves it away for a week. So the 86th awards ceremony "Oscar" can be held on March 2, 2014-th.
Transfer "Oscars" at the earliest possible time - the dream of moviegoers, but it's not a dream of film academics. They already not enough time have watched all the pictures, so that bridge the gap between the nominations and the ceremony until they are.
Oscar ceremony is closed for Sasha Baron Cohen
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Just yesterday, the actor asked if he could come to the Oscar ceremony in the form of General Aladin from the movie "The Dictator", as Film Academy got angry and responded just as able to: Sasha Baron Cohen is banned to appear at the ceremony at all.
The American Film Academy withdrew Cohen ticket to the event. Despite the fact that Sasha is not only a star of Martin Scorsese's band "Hugo", which received 11 nominations, as well as a member of the Academy, the entrance to the ceremony is closed for him. However, Cohen still has a chance.
As soon as it became known yesterday, the desire of the actor to appear in the image of the dictator, Muammar Gaddafi to write-off, strained Film Academy and behaved according to his status. However, the hype in the press immediately gave "Oscar" negative light, and managing director of membership in the Academy Award Kimberly Rauch called the studio Paramount and said that the ticket Cohen recalled, but if the actor would be able to convincingly promise not to come to the Academy Awards red carpet in a suit of "Dictator "and do not advertise the movie, then he can come.
Publication Deadline rightly recalls how in 2000 the creators of "South Park," Trey Parker and Matt Stone have appeared on the red carpet in dresses, or rather a parody of Jennifer Lopez and Gwyneth Paltrow. Purists of the "Oscars" believe that the ceremony - it is not the place for jokes and parodies. This is a serious event that can not be promoted with their films and mock respectable audience.
But in this case as being, in particular, with James Franco, who led the ceremony a year ago and went to the scene in the image of Marilyn Monroe? And what about the huge amount of boring jokes and overextended monologues that are sure to occur at each "Oscar"? On the other hand, let Cohen play the fool - and the ceremony will turn into analogue MTV Movie Awards, so the fear of cinema academics are somewhat understandable.
Although, knowing Sasha Baron Cohen, it may be that this whole story with the "Oscars" - is not nothing but a publicity stunt.
