The Evening Standard Praises Bel Ami’s Script

Bel Ami has been praised as “the best-written upcoming movie” by The Evening Standard’s columnist Anne McElvoy.

"An eminent film critic has just told me he thinks some of the best writing is now on the small screen, not the large one, and he may well be right. For all its Spielbergian glory, War Horse has a baggy, pedestrian script and can’t add much to the National’s production. Still, there are signs of intellectual life in the cinema in 2012: the best-written upcoming movie I’ve seen is the riveting romp of Bel Ami, with Uma Thurman, Christina Ricci and Kristin Scott Thomas in Maupassant’s masterpiece.
Again, it succeeds because the original work is both sexy and clever: a plot turning on multifarious adultery, secret plans to invade Morocco and the power of the 1880s press. And, yes, of course we like to watch Uma in a velvet frock-coat, bewitching the arriviste Robert Pattinson as Georges: but we do have to keep half an eye on the machinations of the proprietors and French intentions in Africa to fully enjoy it."

Anna Kendrick to appear on 'What to Expect When You're Expecting'

From Hollywoodcrush:

One thing you can say about Anna Kendrick: girlfriend is versatile! One minute she's playing a flighty high school student in "Twilight," the next minute she's wowing us as a be-suited professional businesslady in "Up in the Air", and then—BAM—it's back to school again for more Forks drama and a stint in "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World." (Not to mention her part in the upcoming "Rapturepalooza," where she'll take her own turn battling evil forces to save the human race from apocalypse and extinction.)

So it's no surprise, after all this, that her most recent casting announcement is totally unlike any of those other roles in any way whatsoever.

The news: Lionsgate has confirmed that Anna will appear in "What to Expect When You're Expecting" (a movie based on that terrifying book about puking, hemorrhoids and all the other lovely things that happen during pregnancy). The film will be a "Love Actually"-style mashup of multiple plotlines—only with babies and minus the English Prime Minister—and also features Brooklyn Decker, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez.

Anna will play Rosie, a young woman who "reunites with an attractive old flame after a turf war between their respective food trucks, and they embark on a funny, poignant journey together in the wake of a surprise pregnancy."

Sounds like the 25-year-old may need to tap "Breaking Dawn" co-star Kristen Stewart for some on-screen pregnancy advice!

On the Road Listed in IndiWire's This Fall’s Festival Wishlist

Even as Cannes announced its lineup, speculation and predictions loomed about what was in store for the two biggest festivals of the late summer.

With announcements sure to start slowly rolling in over the summer,

The 68th edition of the , while Toronto will celebrate its 36th edition September 8-18. And then of course there’s Telluride, which goes down on Labor Day weekend.

A lot of high-profile films were unexpectedly unready in time for Cannes, including Alexander Payne’s “The Descendants,” David Cronenberg’s “A Dangerous Method” and Roman Polanski’s “Carnage.” And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

It’s time to let the serious speculation begin: Which films will be the mammoths of the fall festival circuit?

Here’s a list of 50 films, all new movies that haven’t played anywhere yet, and that indieWIRE’s editorial team hopes to see during the Telluride, Venice and Toronto triad.

”On The Road, directed by Walter Salles
There has been speculation that Walter Salles would ready his Jack Kerouac adaptation for Venice or Toronto; it’s been in post since December. But whenever it rears its head, it’s sure to spark serious interest from fans of Kerouac’s iconic novel, particularly due to its substantial cast in Sam Riley, Kristen Stewart, Kirsten Dunst, Viggo Mortensen, Amy Adams, Garrett Hedlund and Steve Buscemi. For Salles’ sake, let’s just hope it ups the ante from his previous English-language effort, Jennifer Connelly horror flick “Dark Water.” [Peter Knegt]

THR: Alleged 'Twilight' bootlegger sues movie theater

Remember that woman who generated national attention when she was arrested for bootlegging after using a digital recording device during a screening of "The Twilight Saga: New Moon"?

At the time, Samantha Tumpach was facing up to three years in prison, which many people (including the film's director) found ridiculously unfair considering she was just shooting footage of her sister's birthday party inside the Muvico theater in Chicago.

Now Tumpach is suing Muvico for malicious prosecution, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and defamation.


According to the complaint, at no time did an usher give any warning to stop using a camera, even though she says she was doing so in plain sight. The woman says she began to record the opening scene of the movie "hoping to capture the title and beginning as a memory of this exciting event."


The usher then allegedly informed Muvico manager Stephen Buckus of the taping, Buckus is said to have observed Tumpach taping a minute and a half of footage of the movie. He then contacted the police department, who arrested Tumpach. She says she pleaded with authorities that she didn't know she was doing anything wrong and hadn't received any warnings.


The officers then called the MPAA to explain the situation. According to the complaint, the MPAA recommended that the memory card from the digital camera be cleared and that police should only generate an incident report.


But Tumpach alleges that Buckus demanded the filing of a felony complaint anyway. The motivation? According to the lawsuit:
"Buckus signed the criminal complaint in hopes of collecting a reward for providing information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a person engaged in video piracy when he very well knew that she was guilty of no such act."

Tumpach was held for two days in custody and appeared on the front page of several newspapers. She's now demanding compensatory damages in excess of $50,000.

Exclusive Poster "Paani" new movie "Kristen Stewart"

Tv9 - First look of Hrithik Roshan's Paani ! (Kristen Stewart)

Kristen Stewart is On The Road

Kristen Stewart is headed out On The Road…but not for promo duties.

The 20-year-old actress confirmed to USA Today after her taping on Oprah that she’ll be playing Marylou in the film adaption of Jack Kerouac’s “On The Road.”

Kristen shared, “I am very much attached to a movie that has been trying to get made forever. Not that this is going to help it, but maybe I can just brag a little bit. I am super excited about it, too. I am about to play Marylou in On the Road. So that’s a big deal.”

The story is a largely autobiographical work that was based on the spontaneous road trips of Kerouac and his friends across mid-century America. Garrett Hedland and Sam Riley also star. Filming is expected to start this summer.

Congrats, Kristen!
