Inspired by successful experience of "Veronica Mars," which collected via the site Kickstarter 5,7 million to launch a full-length film on the show, Zach Braff also appealed to the method of crowd-funding. To start the production of his new tape “Wish I Was Here”, cinematographer will have to find $ 2 million. The star of "Scrubs" announced the launch of the campaign to find the money for the project in the morning on April 24, and at the moment the fans of artist has contributed more than 1.2 million.
The script was written by Zach in collaboration with his brother Adam last summer. The tragicomedy story will be about Aidan Bloom - poverty-stricken actor, father and husband (will play Braff), who in 35 years of age is still trying to find his purpose in life. His financial affairs are moving with difficulty, and the hero spends his time imagining himself a space knight, his former ideal of childhood. When the father of the character became ill and can no longer afford to pay for private school for the two children and the only available public institution barely making ends meet, Aidan reluctantly agrees to teach siblings at home. As a result, he finds himself in a quality not previously suspected.
Motivating his address to the site Kickstarter, Zach Braff said that before, he also donated money on some projects, considering the format of crowd-funding a revolutionary tool that can help artists. However, before "Veronica Mars" the actor had no idea how phenomenal this method may work for such big ideas like shooting a movie. Thanks to the help of fans Zach plans to keep the creative control over Wish I Was Here, which he could lose if contacted with studio bosses usually require filmmakers to give the right to the final assembly, the choice of cast and locations and to change the script.
Tragicomedy will shoot operator Lawrence Sher, who worked on a full-length debut of Braff, "Garden State" and "The Hangover" trilogy. Production designer of the project is Judy Becker ("Brokeback Mountain", "The Fighter").
For the support of the movie, Zach’s team promises fans a variety of benefits: access to production-diary, the first opportunity to hear the soundtrack, an invitation to first release and participation in Q & A-session in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and London, movie poster with autograph, audio - video recording from the actor, the chance to give his name to one of the characters to star in the film, etc.

The subject of their dispute - Salvation Army sister Sarah (Jean Simmons), which is the first hero has a second charm and persuade to go to Cuba. If he loses, he will have to enterprising businessmen thousand dollars, just as Sinatra character needed for business.
The studio has not said whether the events of remake will take place in the last or this century. It is not known who will take over production of the film and its script. Both actors have already proved themselves in the music genre, and can make a strong duo in the history of updated "Guys and dolls." However, the company has just started talks with the stars.

Nearly 20 years in the making is one of the most famous biographical movies of Hollywood - a film about the comedian Richard Pryor. Now the picture is taken by producer Forest Whitaker, and he has already secured the support of Pryor's widow, Jennifer Pryor.
Richard Pryor - American comedian, writer and broadcaster, who was known for his uncompromising and sometimes sharp humor. Pryor, did not hesitate and spoke about the problems of African Americans.

He led one of the shows, the first season of "Saturday Night Live" and in 1977 on NBC started "Richard Pryor Show", unfortunately, closed after four episodes: TV viewers did not take Pryor’s jokes.
Since the mid of 1970s, Pryor began acting in films, mostly comedies. Best known painting "See No Evil, Hear No Evil", "Stir Crazy" and "Brewster's Millions". Pryor worked on the script for the comedy of Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles." He was to play a major role, but the studio refused to insure him, the actor is addicted to drugs and alcohol.
In 1980, Pryor was trying to drink rum and inhale cocaine, so that caught fire and was taken to hospital with burns on the body. Severely undermining health, Richard continued to maintain the reputation of a difficult actor, he was late to the shooting, foul the air and exhibited excessive requirements (e.g, to the site he was taken in a helicopter).
Health problems gradually discourage Prior to working in film: in the early 1990s, the actor was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. David Lynch's "Lost Highway" movie has became the latest for comedian. In 2004, Pryor lost his voice. December 10, 2005 the actor suffered a heart attack and died.
Last time rumors about biography of Pryor were in October 2010, when the role of comedian was going to play Marlon Wayans, and Bill Condon should be director. Time passed, the director signed up to work on two films "Twilight" and withdrew from the project on Pryor. Other known attempts - Martin Scorsese, who even before the actor's death in 2005, wanted to put a picture of him with Damon Wayans in the lead.

Evolutionary cartoon (“The Croods”)

Now DreamWorks has its own "Ice Age"! However, without ice and mammoths, but with a family of colorful cavemen and beautiful flora and fauna. The story about this family has pleasantly surprised: it is dynamic, fun, energetic, cheerful, and so on in the same vein, in a word, is not boring.
Thanks to Chris Sanders the cartoon "Croods" is incredibly fun to watch. It is fascinating! So much so that the number of wild punches just stop paying attention. Authors were able to present all of this, so that even in adults there is no hint of irritation.
However, all children and adults will be busy contemplating the beautiful: "Croods" even by the standards of Hollywood titans is very colorful cartoon. Prehistoric jungle beasts with the absurd, forbidding rocks and parched deserts, majestic mountains, vast fields and at the snack heroes visit, we can say, the roof of the world. And most importantly - all the bright colors do not climb into the eyes from the screen, yelling excitedly about what they are colorful and almost fragrant. Beautiful just enough so that it is admire and create the desire to close tired eyes.
When the number of bright colors and shades on the screen starts to go off-scale, the characters get into a bit of gorges, caves or labyrinth. They, too, are fine, but they have a different charm, dark and cold. And so - throughout the film skips on a mad family of incredible locations, as if everything was not in ancient times on Earth, and not so long ago on a very, very distant planet. Which has a great future.
The authors do not forget about the humor! Some moments, mostly in one way or another, affect the militant and conservative (and creative) father of the family, are able to really laugh not only and not as many children as their adult companions. Not behind them and beasts, sometimes carnivorous, sometimes - not very much, but always original. Not to mention the hairy-clawed local satellite - a sort of a small and delicate, and most importantly - funny animal, another sign of a successful Hollywood cartoon.
Unbridled joy that seeks to please the greatest number of people. Celebration of life in the neolithic period, which all are invited. All in all, a wonderful way to spend time - even if you have no children to watch this cartoon.

That's what Kevin wrote on March 8, "Beginning of the end. 20 years ago we started shooting "Clerks." 20 years later, without any plans and intentions, I jumped out of bed at 04:20 am and began to write "Clerks 3." I felt like I’ve hung out with old friends. Later I came to the conclusion that "Clerks 3" will be my best film. "
As evidence, director posted a screenshot of the first page of the script.
Smith usually writes pretty much in social networks, but on Friday last week, his twitter account suspiciously silent. Apparently, the day turned out to be really productive.

To put an end to his directorial career, Kevin Smith decided back in 2011. Previously he thought that the last film will be comedy "Hit Somebody", but eventually the project will become a television series, and the director returns to the fate of the former sellers of New Jersey, Dante and Randal.
"Clerks 2", released in 2006, was worth 5 million, grossed 26.9 million and almost 12 million from the sale of home video. Whether Dante and Randal will return in the third film, here is what the representative of Jeff Anderson said: "To date, neither me nor to Jeff no one spoke on "Clerks 3. " We used to get information about the project as well as everybody else - through the Internet. "

Success in advertising allowed Eisner flop on TV, where he worked on the TV series "The Invisible Man" and "Taken", the latter being produced by Steven Spielberg.
