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.

Sequel to the film by Chris Columbus “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" is just one casting decision will attract an army of fans Star series" Firefly "and" Castle. " Nathan Fillion is approved for the role of god Hermes in the film "Percy Jackson: The sea monsters."
The picture with Logan Lerman Columbus in the title role was the adaptation of Rick Riordan's first novel in a series about a boy - the heir to the Greek gods. At the first "Percy Jackson" spent 95 million dollars in worldwide box office collecting 226 million and barely worth the picture.
In "The Lightning Thief," a simple American boy learned that his father - the Greek god Poseidon. The young man held a series of tests, the results confirm his eminent origins. "Sea monsters" will speak about how Percy goes in search of his friend, the satyr Grover, trapped in a Cyclops Polyphemus. At stake is not only a satire, but the whole Camp Half-Blood: Someone has poisoned Thalia sacred tree, which means that the protection of the camp is about to fall, and nothing can keep the monsters from invading.
Wood can only heal the mythical Golden Fleece, hidden on the island of Polyphemus. To reach it, you need to swim across the sea monsters and fight with its inhabitants - the Scylla and Charybdis, sirens and fruity treacherous sorceress Circe.

Nathan Fillion, who is an icon of geeks in the West, thanks to TV series "Firefly" and friendship with director Joss Weedon was in the sequel to the role of god Hermes.

Based on the novel Jordan Belfort "The Wolf of Wall Street" will mark the fifth picture for the tandem of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. The film is in development for five years, for some time been managed by Ridley Scott, but in August this year it will begin to shoot Martin Scorsese.
Author of "The Wolf of Wall Street" Jordan Belfort founded one of the largest brokerages in 1987, but ten years later was convicted of money laundering and several other financial crimes. Belfort spent 22 months in prison, coped with drug and alcohol addiction, produced during the fraud on Wall Street, has written two books and now lectures on how to achieve success.
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.
Scorsese and DiCaprio began a collaboration on historical drama "Gangs of New York," continued the "Aviator" consolidated "Oscar" for "The Departed" and most recently worked together on the "Shutter Island". "The Wolf of Wall Street" will be the fifth film of the duo, but still holds the record for a tandem Scorsese and De Niro. Director has shot Robert De Niro eight times.
Interestingly, in January of this year, Michael Fassbender in an interview said that he had discussed with Martin Scorsese's role in one of the upcoming movies. Could we talk about "The Wolf of Wall Street"? It will be known closer to May, when it will be announced the main cast. At the Cannes Film Festival Red Granite will sell the rights to release the movie.
Biographic movie about Nelson Mandela
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
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".
Scenario overview of new TV series Revolution
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Revolution - one of the last pilots of NBC. Despite the stellar names of the creators (JJ Abrams, Eric Kripke), the channel is not in a hurry with the order, but the two millionth penalties and edit the script led to a positive decision in favor of the project.
Chicago. Rachel Matheson stares at the car of her husband, Ben, filled with goods and packages clogged with water. Ben is on the verge of panic: not enough time, he has to act fast. Starting to copy files to the flash drive, he calls his younger brother, Miles, Marines, on his way to a military base in Southern California. Ben insists that Miles immediately stopped the car and as far as possible away from the freeway. A telephone conversation is interrupted. All electronics are out of order.
15 years later.
Land. View from space. The planet was plunged into darkness.
Wisconsin. Ben became the unofficial leader of a small community engaged in farming. The children grew up: Charlie - 20 years old, her brother, Danny - 17. They remember little about the world, where mankind is too dependent on the results of scientific and technological progress. Rachel left Ben four years ago. In the new world have more to survive than to live. States ceased to exist. Ben and his people live in the territory of Monroe, which was created by General Sebastian Monroe. From each community requires certain taxes. For late payment are punished by police.
In the settlement comes a detachment of militia led by Captain Neville, requiring from Ben to get to the Department to proceed with it. According to Neville, he ordered the general to take custody of Ben and Miles Mathieson. Ben stands up for the locals: in the ensuing scuffle, Ben receives a mortal wound, there are dead on both sides. Not having caught Ben Neville captures Danny's better at least one of Matheson, than anyone. Before his death, Ben tells Charlie that she found Miles. Maggie, an Englishwoman, which has appeared on the other side of the Atlantic during the accident, a doctor of the village, and Aaron, once a big man in Google, which Ben gave before his death, the flash drive with the data, called to help a girl in search of her uncle.
Miles settled in Chicago, where he opened a bar. But to many he is known as the best soldier of fortune. Few dare to engage him in single combat: many have tried, no one survived.
Meanwhile, Danny manages to escape from the people of Neville. He accidentally gets on the farm where lives Grace, an elderly African-American, a random person on the face, with which the most interesting twist of the pilot.
The general idea can not be called original, but Eric Kripke knows how to keep the viewer's attention. In the teaser, we are witnessing a power outage, causing extensive destruction. In the first act of sneaking an unpleasant feeling that we will again be bored all the torment of family values and leisurely story of survival, where the characters sit on the farm and waiting for something.
In most cases, road-movie runs smoothly because of the clear purpose and point of destination (Charlie need to get to Chicago and found Miles) rates (Danny's life is at stake) and the tight time frame (by the minute Danny's chances of survival decrease significantly). In addition, in the world after a major disaster, sending the characters on a journey, you can count on the interesting locations and characters to throw unexpected problems: Charlie, Aaron and Maggie pass through the airport in Chicago, where nature took possession of large aircraft, and where the heroes waiting for some bad guys.
Even reaching the destination, the number of obstacles to the characters is not reduced: Miles are not eager to help Charlie.
Kripke holds in suspense, constantly throwing up, or new puzzles or obstacles in the way of heroes. In fair amount of action-scenes writer presses on melee combat with the massive use of bladed weapons. Although the Revolution and did not cause much enthusiasm, but it should be noted the professionalism of the author: using more than once elements, he manages to intrigue and make the wait continued.

Interview with Jonathan Liebesman
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Director of "Titans Wrath" Jonathan Liebesman in an interview with resource Hero Complex spoke about the project.
Why did you decide to do this project?
"I'm a big fan of epic films, created the world where you can escape to enjoy the spectacle and experience the fear of the gods and monsters. Proposal to create a world in "Titans Wrath" was just what we needed. I just finished "Alien invasion: The Battle in Los Angeles" and I liked the scale of the story and thrilling adventure that studio Warner bros. wanted to present to the fans of the franchise in terms of clever special effects with creatures and epic adventure point of view of the protagonist. Ultimately, we would take the whole spectacle and awe, which is full of Greek mythology, and give it a more down to earth, one might say, the human factor. Greeks created brilliant images of typical characters, which we could introduce our story to create a richer world. "
Can you tell us a little about those monsters, which we will see? Which one is your favorite? What - the worst?
"We are fortunate that the material for "Titans Wrath” was originally a very rich and epic. We have allowed ourselves the luxury of finding the most incredible aspects of Greek mythology, terrible monsters, which we are woven into the narrative of traditional myths. I am - a big fan of Makhai, an evil warrior demon consisting of two fallen souls from the underworld, which were put together and forced to fight as a single entity for immortality. We came up a few tricks, playing with their unusual appearance. "
You have on-site solid star. As you work with Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Bill Nighy, Sam Worthington?
"This is a great success - to work with the actors of this caliber. They all put their lives in the images of their characters, and monitor their performance on the court - similar to a lesson on the film industry. Our entire cast was infinitely generous in their game, and we were completely open in matters of discussion and collaboration. When you're faced with so much talent, they are actors, you really trust their instincts and unconditionally accept their ideas. For me, "Schindler's List" - a very important film, and the fact that Liam and Ralph took part in some our scene - simply amazing.”
What do you have borrowed from the first movie and what decided not to take?
"We are grateful to the creators of "Clash of the Titans" for the construction of the narrative, the world and the characters who inhabit it, were created, and we were allowed to take them all and continue the story. We would like to add realism to what happens to the characters. It was very important to us. Sam put all his efforts to achieve this goal. We have reviewed a large number of Westerns, and some of the films of Akira Kurosawa, to adventures of Perseus looked real. When Perseus beat the monsters, he can not feel pain. He was not a superhero. He - the guy with all his might trying to stay alive himself and save his family. It is - completely normal life situation against the backdrop of a magical world, and I think that it will give her confidence in the realism of the events in our history. "
Do you think that the work in the "Titans Wrath" has added experience to your piggy bank as a director?
"I think every film that you shoot, gives you a new understanding of many aspects of filmmaking. I was given the chance to work with Aaron Eckhart and Michelle Rodriguez in" Battle of Los Angeles, "and they taught me a lot with regard to excellent acting. And the experience of working on the creation of the alien in the same project was useful to me when we came up with the monsters for "Wrath ...". I do not think we ever stop learning - main secret is to find a project to become obsessed with them, to surround a like-minded people and create a peace with them, about which you dream. "
Banshee – scenario overview
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Banshee - a new project of Cinemax, has already received an order for the whole season, the show producer is Alan Ball.
Lucas Hood - the protagonist - has just been released from prison, where stayed for fifteen years. Despite this, he hijacked a car and sent to a former accomplice Job to find out where the man lives, he is looking for. Immediately after speaking with Job for Lucas begin to follow, then he becomes the victim of several unsuccessful attempts.
After retiring from the pursuit, Lucas arrives in town Banshee with a population of 11.400 people where is hiding a man, whom he is looking for. Going to a bar on the outskirts of town, Lucas met with an elderly bartender Sugar Bates, a former boxing champion at light heavyweight. With Bates, who served eight years, Lucas quickly finds a common language. Another of his interlocutor is a new sheriff of the city, coming into office next week.
During their conversation in a bar come two bandits, as it turns out later - the tax collectors. The new sheriff does not know the local orders and tries to stop them. In the ensuing firefight were killed two bandits and the sheriff. Lucas realizes that he is trapped in a very unpleasant story, especially since the criminals were killed worked for the Kay Proctor, a local godfather, which controls the entire city.
Leaving the bar, Lucas meets a man whom he was looking for - a woman named Carrie Hopewell. Fifteen years ago, together they had stolen from Mr. Rebbita, Ukrainian mafia boss, diamonds worth $ 10 million. Lucas wants to get a share due to him, but it turns out that the Serbian mafia took from Kerry all the stones. However, over the years, she managed to come up with a true legend, raising a family, have two children. Her husband - a city prosecutor.
Lucas returns to Bates, and together they bury the bodies. In the sheriff wallet Lucas finds ID card and could not believe his eyes: the killed man name is Lucas Hood. And our hero appears crazy idea - to usurp the identity of the deceased. In this case, he helps the Job - a hacker that can hack any system, providing necessary documents by Lucas. The new sheriff has not been seen, nobody knows how he looks. After receiving the work and guidance from the Mayor, Lucas tries on a suit of law guardian...
The only thing that attracts in Banshee - the name of Alan Ball. The plot and characters as if taken from the rebels "B" category. All over the standard:
- A hero got out of prison;
- On a hunting ex-employers to get even (they hurt to do it while Lucas was in jail?)
- The bad guys from the former Soviet Union;
- A small town, ruled by a cool uncle;
- Ex-girlfriend, tied to the past and start life from scratch ...
In this set we could not have been surprised, and ten years ago, not to mention about today. The authors use the required pieces of cable channels: practically all the female characters are stripped, the scenes of violence are trying to match the rating - but it helps a little clichéd stories.
While the Banshee is interesting only one element, which is barely touched on in the pilot, and who, presumably, will continue in the future: a former offender was on the side of the law and decided to go against the bad guys.
Breaking Bad – what else?
(1 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5) Loading ...
Breaking Bad received two WGA awards - for best drama and for the best episode. In this regard, the journalists decided to try the series creator - Vince Gilligan, who spoke about last season and how to roll Walter.
To begin with a short-recall where we left off. Walt (played by Brian Krenson) went to Tio Salamanca in a conspiracy against their common enemy in order to lure out of the lair and lure in a nursing home, "Casa Tranquilo." But there is rather helpless paralytic, fraternized with the authorities, Gus Fring Tio waited in a wheelchair, stuffed with explosives.
In the fifth - and final extended to sixteen episodes - season "we are on the same path, which went on for four seasons" - Gilligan said at the award ceremony WGA, where the authors Breaking Bad grabbed the award in two categories at once.
"We, in fact, took good-natured protagonist, and turned him into a villain. And to the bottom of the black hole into which he jumped without anyone forcing, Walter White has to fall and fall. "
But is it required to keep such a way? Walt threw superboss of laboratory, which is only waiting for a pretext to get rid of, once again won the confidence of Jesse, and for several seasons as the best shot to fame on the continent, the manufacturer of methamphetamine. Why not to stop and did not return to normal life, without waiting for the arrest or death in a gang’s hands?
"Hmm, good question," - thought Gilligan. "Oppression is a line of Walt for the benefit of his family or the fact there are other reasons? Do not implicated here egocentricity and megalomania? Not if he gets on his actions sincere pleasure? Do not intoxicated if his power? These questions, in my opinion, everyone should ask themselves, who faced a choice - take it on or turn back. "
Another question is the answer to which we will look at the swan song of Breaking Bad (which is considered by many to be two verses): who will replace Gus Fring and will become the new real obstacle to Walt for world domination?
Reminding us that Gus was a "wonderful character" played "a wonderful actor," Giankarlo Esposito, Gilligan acknowledged that the death of this "godfather" leaves a huge hole in the soul of the series. "But I want to believe that Walter White, and, perhaps, other characters will be able to patch it."
"Now, everything will be different, but no less interesting!" - Added Gilligan. - "And you're right, we pulled up the bar inexcusable high".
Interview with George Lucas

The director of "Star Wars" George Lucas answered questions about the stereo Episode I - "Phantom Menace".
Has the stereo "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace" undergone some changes with regard to characters or plot? Or was it the usual conversion to 3D format?
"There is nothing unusual in changes, because most re-issued films contain them. But for some reason, when I decide to change things a bit, everyone thinks that is the end of the world. These eternal dispute between the filmmaker and the studio because the studio can make any changes to the film, not even putting in a famous film director ... My job is to make a film as good as possible, and now this the best film of Blu-ray-version. That it was done in 3D. But it was just a conversion. We have not changed anything, just the format. "
People can be ridiculously fanatical when it comes to their favorite films. What do you think about this?
"Well, it's not a religious event. I hate to explain it. This movie is just a movie. Question of who fired first in Episode IV - Han Solo or Greedo - I wanted to clarify a long time, but that's just upset the fans, because they wanted it to be a solo, cold-blooded killer (as it seemed in the original film). In fact, it is not. Just scene was filmed in close-up, and it was unclear who fired first. Now I've slightly expanded the frame, and it became evident that the first was Greedo. But still want to believe that Khan was first pulled the trigger. "
"It's the same with Yoda. We tried to make it in the CGI-image in Episode I, but we have not met in time. Technology has not been worked out, so we had to use a doll, which, of course, inferior in quality CGI-image. Therefore, when preparing to re-issue, we replaced the dummy CGI-way as originally planned. "
"Pay attention to the" Blade Runner "- it was cut 16 times, and there are many versions of this film. In" Star Wars "an original version, just with the progress we will improve it a little ... All art - it is technology, and they go forward each year. And on the set, and in music, painting is the improvement and development of new methods and ways. And because the movie - the process of technological, improved methods of production is more than obvious. "
What is the status of "Indiana Jones 5"? Steven Spielberg says that awaits your decision.
"I know, and it is assumed that I was working on it right now, but instead, I chat with you (laughs)."
