Cameron Crowe: 'Elizabethtown Certainly Created Some Thoughtful Times'

Cameron Crowe knows you didn't like 'Elizabethtown,' but his feelings aren't hurt -- everyone's entitled to their own personal opinion. Inside an interview with Vulture, the director spoke candidly about his 2005 feature film as well as the harsh response it received from experts and audiences alike. "'Elizabethtown' certainly created some thoughtful occasions, but nothing paralyzing. In my opinion, only if something arises from an inauthentic place in case you feel prone to stuff that anybody might say," recognized Crowe. "I support it and didn't feel savaged. It absolutely was somewhat brutal. However obtain that people wish to visit town. I express myself, too." So what's next for Crowe? After 'We Bought a Zoo,' which hits theaters Friday, the director will probably be undertaking a "straight-out comedy," and can not say additionally to that particular. And for your 'Say Anything' follow-up? Cameron has ideas, but the potential for making one seems rather slim. "There has been many individuals who got upset once i mentioned it's the one factor I'd consider doing -- some factor with Lloyd's character or one of the side figures," adding the film might be "a shadow from the previous story, but figures that you just understood, type of. And you also trigger relating to this tributary to another story together. This is the way i'd execute a 'Say Anything' follow-up." Crowe also discusses the mixtapes he gives his stars and also the plans for just about any Marvin Gaye biopic. You can examine the whole interview at Vulture.

What Can We Glean from the New Prometheus Poster -- Besides Its Lame Tagline?

Ridley Scott has settled on a tagline for his pseudo-prequel to Alien, the star-studded June 2013 release Prometheus: “The Search For Our Beginning Could Lead To Our End.” Does that sound a little too much like the Breaking Dawn: Part I tag “Forever is Only the Beginning” to anyone? Both are Hallmarkian takes on mortality, which is a shame considering Prometheus should be one of the most original thrillers of next year. Its new poster, along with our musings thereon, follow. That’s an awfully murky photo. Like some post-apocalyptic retelling of The Great Gatsby where the green light guides us ceaselessly into the gnarly, space-invading future. (I’d cast Joel Edgerton in that one, too.) All I’m sensing so far is hi-tech sci-fi grandeur with a couple of easily traceable philosophical implications. Which is great. And it doesn’t require the prized craftwork of Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba, and Patrick Wilson, but it gets it anyway. Can we blow through this mundane Oscar season and arrive at next June already? Bring me the Patrick Wilson “crumbling morality” face I so desire! ‘Prometheus’ Poster Promises A Search That Will Take Us To ‘Our End’ [The Playlist]

Males In Black 3 Trailer Online

If you are frightened of levels, look awayWe've seen a few posters, however a clip for MenInBlack 3 has hit the web, and provided us with only a small little more of the clue what to anticipate in the film. In a nutshell: familiar gags like using the neuraliser Will Cruz jumping off a really tall building and Josh Brolin carrying out a really, great Tommy Lee Johnson impression.The plot sees Smith's Agent J travel in time for you to avoid the murder of his partner Agent K(Tommy Lee Johnson) in 1969 - that they should do with K's more youthful counterpart (JoshBrolin). Also showing up are Emma Thompson as the second agent In Black, Jermaine Clement, Alice Eve and MichaelStuhlbarg.Bald eagle-eyed audiences will observe that a couple of from the shots here look a little odd, which we are putting lower towards the whole factor being shot in three dimensional, but we are positive that it'll be considered a go back to form following the lacklustre second film. And now it's time someone cast Johnson and Brolin because the same person given that they always, y'know, kinda appeared like these were.The film's had greater than a couple of hiccups and delays throughout production, but let us hope it's all regulated touring between now and could 25, 2012.[[Poll561]]

David Cronenberg Has Seen the First Two 'Twilight' Movies

You'd never expect to hear the words David Cronenberg and 'Twilight' in the same sentence -- that is until the 'Dangerous Method' director cast Robert Pattinson in his upcoming movie, 'Cosmopolis.' In it, a 28-year-old billionaire (Pattinson) travels around Manhattan for the day in his limousine. Most critics aren't exactly fawning over the 'Twilight' films -- or for that matter, Pattinson's performance -- but Cronenberg saw something in Robert, particularly after watching his non-vampire moments in 'Remember Me' and 'Little Ashes.' That's not to say he wasn't impressed with Pattinson's work as Edward Cullen (yes, the man behind 'Videodrome' has seen 'Twilight' and 'New Moon'). "I was impressed with his screen presence and a lot of his stillness, and a lot of other things. But the other movies showed me he had range. He had the range that I wanted," Cronenberg told Vulture's Jada Yuan. So has he seen 'Breaking Dawn Part 1' yet? "I think I'll wait for the screener." In addition to 'Cosmopolis,' Cronenberg also discusses his current film, 'A Dangerous Method,' which stars Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender as Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung. Some critics have mentioned that this film isn't particularly "Cronenbergian," a notion that the director could care less about. That's totally, totally irrelevant. See, this is very common. I'm often telling critics that they should not confuse their process with mine. I don't care what movies I've made before. I don't care what people think is Cronenbergian or not. It's irrelevant to me. It's as though I'd never made another movie when I'm making this movie. There's nothing that I can take from those other movies, or what people think that I do, that is creatively of use to me. When I'm making this movie, once I've decided that yeah, this is a subject that interests me, I'm going to make this movie, I just focus on it. It's of the moment. The movie tells me what it wants. I listen to the movie; it tells me what it wants in terms of style, visual style, dramatic style. And I have no desire to impose some preconceived idea of Cronenbergness on the project. Cronenberg goes on to discuss the difficulty of financing films, particularly during a recession, as well as his thoughts on Occupy Wall Street. If you're a Cronenberg fan, the entire interview is definitely worth your time. 'A Dangerous Method' is currently in theaters. 'Cosmopolis' is scheduled for a 2012 release date.
