Mexican director Guillermo Del Toro gave an Interview about his new project: "Do not be afraid of the Dark" and connection with the "Hobbit."
- Please tell us about your project "Do not be afraid of the dark". Do you like to scare small children?
"Yes, I like to scare small children and adults, too. Love this from my childhood".
- Small children are always afraid of everything. The main idea of your movie "Do not be afraid of the dark" is that something terrible is in your own home, and this is one of the biggest nightmares of every child. The fear many of us have moved from childhood to adulthood.
"What's funny is the idea of a blanket, which slides out of bed ... This is a classic moment of horror I felt as a child many times, but now has decided to abandon it. I suggested to the director Troy Nicci: "Let the little girl can find something in her bed under the sheets". You know, it's terrible. I think a large part of my imagination was formed when I was a kid, and now it enters into my films. I really like the idea that fear can return you to childhood and make vulnerable, susceptible to things, far from ordinary. "
- What exactly do you enchanted in the eponymous TV movie in 1973: the history itself or the way it was told?
"There is something really first-born in the tiny creatures, which for a small amount of extremely treacherous. This is not a gigantic monsters or werewolves, it's just a tiny soul, which is able to kill opponents of larger size. It hooked me.
- Can we talk a bit about what you've been doing lately and what will you do next? How is it difficult for you to give up "Hobbit"?
"It's very, very difficult. But I had no doubt why I did it, and I was convinced of the correctness of the decision taken by me in respect of myself and in respect of the project, by the way. I believe in it. My life, personal and creative, was full of plans, when it burst into "The Hobbit". But I beat to free up time to work on the film. You know that because of funding problems shooting postponed more than once and finally, the time has come when I had to deal not only with "Hobbit," but also other projects with which I was bound by contractual obligations. I could not give "Hobbit" a quarter of my attention, or half or three quarters. This film demanded of me 110% of my time and effort, which I couldn't give. I think then came a time when I made a difficult decision. "
- But you are still involved in the project as a writer?
"Yes, I'm co-authored the script. I cannot think or talk about "The Hobbit" in the past tense. I can talk about it only in the present. I have been involved in the creative process. Yes, I not a director and not entertain any illusions about this, but I'm a partner. I really want Peter Jackson shot the film himself. I fervently wish the film would be great, I work in a team and wish you all good luck.
- You said that your new film will be in 3D?
"Oh, yes. I am aware of the benefits of this technology and eager to try it in my next film. By the way, it will be shot in the genre of "good old horror movie".
“The Shield” series

Crime series - one of the most popular topics. Not for nothing there are dozens of excellent, spanning from the head, interesting TV projects on criminology. This topic was overtaking virtually all sides. Starting with Colombo and finishing with Dr. Laitman (from the famous series "Lie to me").
"The Shield" shows criminal world quite differently. Here are, are ruling streets. The world is cruel and mercy can be expected. Not anyone can be trusted. The atmosphere of crime created an incredibly realistic. And the operator's work leaves its mark.
Detective Vic Mackie is the central figure of the "Shield". He does not recognize the rules, he acts on his methods. And only by such methods he can reduce crime. He violates all the laws, and get out of scrapes in various ways. And his steeper and charisma virtually have no limits.
The Strike Team consists of detectives: impenetrable and going to ram Wick Mecca, the restless Shane Vendrell, a peaceful and responsive Lem (Curtis Lemanski) and sensible and quiet Ronnie Gardokki.
In the same building work and concerted companions in the face of detective Claudette Wims and Dachboy Vahenbah, and officers Danny Sofer and Julian Lowe, detectives Tevon Harris and canny Armando Rent, beautiful and naive agent Olivia Murray and lieutenant John Kavanagh.
The series subjects are very interesting. Manipulations of "bad" cops almost drive them to prison, but they find a way out. Although, I think that sometimes, creators are overdoing with erotic scenes. You do not have to show them in such large numbers. It is worth mentioning that the series is very similar to one of my favorite - "Training Day". Bad cop, own methods, one goal - are the key words that link these projects.
The cast picked up very well. Michael Chiklis was three times nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actor, and once he took the trophy. His character and his game make "The Shield" even more special.
From the first training the series plunges the audience into a kind of bloody meat grinder: murderers, rapists, pimps, pedophiles, freaks, drug dealers, prostitutes, and so each series. The film is very dynamic and filmed in a realistic manner and is replete with naturalistic scenes of violence. The situation is changing literally every minute. Also, there are guest stars - Forest Whitaker is great in the role of one of the antagonists of Mecca officer of the department of internal investigations.
The series looks easy and addicts. If you like tough cops, detective investigation, fire, lie - this series is created for you. There you can find many interesting things!

1). Milla Jovovich has shared her vision of why the film series "Resident Evil" have become so popular. It turns out that the matter is this: "Resident Evil" has always been an independent film it is its singularity. We have begun filming a modest thriller in the European style, and all who worked on it, Paul Anderson (director of the film and Milla's husband), me and Michelle Rodriguez - we all just joined this game. So such way was born this series. And I think it passed the spectators. Our today audience is rather clever and they know when them are lying. And we're just trying to make the best movie with the available budget, but also get pleasure from it, so that the audience liked it and who will watch it".
The above implies two important facts: "Resident Evil" - is not a trash, but the independent thriller in the European style, and like Milla Jovovich star in this off-season (we are about 2 and 3 parts).
2). The debut series of the second season of "Vampire Diaries" was a miracle as well. It starts exactly the same place over the second season in the first five minutes, presents a lot of surprises. All the main characters work at all the money dialogs as before sharp as a razor, and Ian Somerhalder and Paul Wesley just burning napalm. Not to mention Nina Dobrev, united in two persons. What is the conclusion? Download now!
3). Jeremy Renner and Numi Repes "The Hurt Locker" together in a film under the promising title "Hansel and Gretel: witch-hunter". As the name implies, after the miraculous rescue from the clutches of evil witch Hansel and Gretel have grown and became quite a civilian hunters go for the witch. The film is about their adventures 15 years after the events of the original tale. Producer of the film stands Will Ferrell.
4). There are persistent rumors that the team "Captain America" scheduled completion. In addition to the heroic Chris Evans in a small cameo there Helen Mirren will appear, and even actor Bruce Willis. Apparently, after the "Expendables" old Bruce tasted small but emotionally intense roles. Although I repeat once again - all this so far only rumors, not confirmed by serious evidence. But it would be cool, of course.
5). "Dark Tower" by Stephen King has finally adopted, and once in the format of the film and television series. And there will be two films. Director of both the film and the series will be Ron Howard ("The Da Vinci Code"), and producer and screenwriter - Akiva Goldsman. A series of books by Stephen King tells of the adventures of Arrow named Roland, and in the parallel post-apocalyptic world falls apart, from which he regularly transferred to our world and everything in order to find the way to the mysterious "Dark Tower", which somehow manages throughout the universe. King is optimistic about the project, saying that he had been an intriguing series of films and TV series, which shows respect for the original novels and characters from the Dark Tower series, which both fell in love with the fans.

In an interview with The Times, supporting Stephen Frears film "Tamara Drewe", actress Gemma Arterton said that Ridley Scott is planning to discuss with her participation in the upcoming prequel "Alien".
Ridley Scott has looked "The Disappearance of Alice Creed" and was thrilled.
He wants to meet with me concerning "Alien" or something like that.
It seems that Gemma is not particularly closely monitoring the project. It is assumed that Scott saw her on the lead role in the film.
In addition, it became clear that Arterton will also play in the adaptation of Ruth Rendell novel "The Keys to the Street", which wrote the script for Christopher Nolan and that he himself had intended to film it, but eventually broke away from the project.
On account of British actress there are such hits as "Quantum of Solace", "Clash of the Titans" and "Prince of Persia", where Gemma has played a central role.
It is noteworthy that Scott just recently discovered some details of the coming film (of two planned prequel to the franchise).
"The movie will be rather tough. A kind of reverse side of the moon of this all. The central theme is gods and creators. A kind of space engineers. Have strangers been developed as a biological weapon? Or do they - the establishment of nature, which invades and cleans the planet? "
Both films will star in 3D. Will play or not in some of them Gemma Arterton, we will know soon.
Venice 2010: critics view

The 67th Venice Film Festival has passed for the middle. It is time to see what ratings are issued by foreign juries for the films of the main competition program.
On Monday morning, the journalists took place in the Darsen hall, to learn that the movie a surprise prepared by Marco Muller. "What should be the film to lift you out of bed so early?" - German TV reporter inquired. "At least a thriller!" - Answered a lot of, to watch drama at 8am is rather hard.
But the miracle has never taken place. The film-surprise was a drama by Chinese director Wang Bin "The Ditch" about the history of secret Chinese labor camps in the middle of the last century.
The mad crush has been caused by Vincent Gallo movie "Promises Written in Water". The director didn't share the content of his project, so thus, it was necessary to see. Gallo himself wrote the script and music, moreover, he has played a major role. After his hero within eight minutes repeating the phrase: "Yes, I called her" we were able to hear a nervous laugh in the hall.
But the most important test awaited the press on Tuesday morning. Italian historical drama "Noi Credevamo" lasts for 201 minutes, that is almost three and a half hours. Viewing starts at 8:15, so those who come to the Lido from Venice had to get up around six in the morning.
"I hope it's worth of it" - heard in the queue, but judging by the frequency departure from the hall, the second morning in a row did not meet expectations.
Of those shown so far 17 films the marks have gotten only 14. Last place belongs to a French drama about sexual life of swingers, generously seasoned with naked bodies of heroes. "Happy Few" has only 4.3 points and 10th place.
At the 9th "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami novel - 5,7 points.
On the eighth "Miral" Julian Schnabel - (5,9).
Seventh place is shared by two films: by 6 points - "Black sheep" (movies about crazy willy-nilly) and "Meek Cutoff" (pseudovestern with Michelle Williams).
On the sixth place is "Essential killing" by Jerzy Skolimowski (6,7). Vincent Gallo plays Arab Mohammed, taken prisoner by U.S. forces. Hero has been transported to a secret prison in Europe, where he manages to escape. To survive in the snow, Mohammed forced to kill. Director took on the lead role an American actor, because, as he said at a press conference, no Arab agrees to play a representative of the Taliban.
Fifth place has taken "Black Swan" by Darren Aronofsky - 7.1 points.
Fourth - 7,2 points "Potiche" by Fransisco Ozon and "Somewhere" by Sofia Coppola.
We turn to the leaders. The third place has Chinese movie-surprise "The Ditch" (7,4).
The second (7,5) divide Italian comedy "The Passion" and the Chilean drama "Post Mortem". Pablo Lerreyna movie talks about the revolution in Santiago in 1973 with the eyes of morgue employees.
But in the first place is most untypical for Venice film "Detective Dee" (Di Renjie) directed by Hark Tsuya. The action is taking place in 690 year, when on the imperial throne is preparing to sit the first and the only woman Tszetyan. Andy Lau plays a detective who investigates the mysterious autoignition of people involved in the construction of a huge statue of Buddha.
The choice of critic is strange for at least. The movie with a budget of 13 million dollars looks like a Hollywood blockbuster, so that it leadership at the Venice Film Festival looks a little bit wildly. However, ahead of are 10 other films and, most likely, there will be great changes.
