Jason Reitman Adapting Walter Kirn's Up in the Air Next!
via FirstShowing.net by Alex Billington on May 14, 2008
Ever since Juno first hit theaters last fall and everyone began talking about Jason Reitman's future, we've been anxious to find out exactly what his next film would be. He started dropping hints as early as last December that he would be adapting another book, but wouldn't reveal the name or any details. Finally he revealed in March that it was similar to Thank You For Smoking, but...

via FirstShowing.net by Alex Billington on May 14, 2008

We've been following United Artists' remake of Timecrimes since it was first announced at Sundance in January. After picking up the rights to a remake, UA assigned Children of Men screenwriter Timothy J. Sexton to draft a new script. Now news comes from the original film's...

Filed under: Drama, Cannes, Theatrical Reviews, Festival Reports, Cinematical IndieFernando Meirelles's new film Blindnessbegins with the rush and push of urban life; traffic, crowds, activity, purpose. And then, one man cries out: "I'm blind." He eventually makes it to an ophthalmologist, but there's nothing physically wrong with his eyes; he simply can't see. "It feels like...

Worth Watching - May 14: Don Cheadle in Traitor Trailer
via FirstShowing.net by Alex Billington on May 14, 2008
Anything Don Cheadle does is usually brilliant. I just love the guy, from Ocean's Thirteen to Reign Over Me to Talk to Me. The first trailer for a film called Traitor has just appeared and it stars Cheadle as an ex-Special Ops soldier who is now working with a terrorist group. Don Cheadle as the bad guy? Absolutely amazing. There are some great action sequences in the trailer alone and...

This Guy Is GTAIV's Roman, Rent Him [Clips]
via Kotaku by Brian Ashcraft on May 14, 2008
Just because you appear in a gajillion dollar making video game doesn't mean you get a gajillion dollars! Beer swinging Jason Zumwait was Roman Bellic in GTA IV and he hasn't made a gajillion dollars. No wonder he's offering to let folks "Rent Roman", tongue planting firmly in cheek. "For a nominal fee, I'll come over to your house," says Zumwait, "sitdown on your goddamn couch...

Quiet Village: Silent Movie
via Pitchfork: Record Reviews by Nate Patrin on May 14, 2008
The thin line between schmaltz and beauty is something musicians have had to grapple with for a while. Working together as Quiet Village, Matt Edwards of Radio Slave and his collaborator Joel Martin strike just the right balance, transforming easy listening sounds of the past into the soundtrack to the finest 3 a.m. trip home you'll have all year.
