Shane Meadows is a remarkably pragmatic director. This afternoon -- probably already past, for any UK readers -- Meadows will appear at London's Nokia store to hype up a promotional stunt tied in to the London Film Festival. Aspiring filmmakers are invited to submit a 90-minute short on Nokia's behalf showing "what being connect in 2009 means to... Read More...

"Up In The Air" could be this decade's "Fight Club."
Wed, Aug 26 2009 10:10 AM

Stills from "Up in the Air," the new film from Jason "Juno" Reitman, have been gathered over at the Playlist, and while I'm not usually into the tea-leaf reading that occurs when an anticipated upcoming movie releases things like this, I'll take any excuse to write about an adaptation I've been anticipating for almost a decade...

Selections from David Fincher.

A few highlights from "Behind Button: A Conversation with David Fincher," hosted by the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Kent Jones to close out their Fincher retrospective pairing the director's work with films he likes, a set-up that yielded the whiplash double feature of "Se7en" and "Mary Poppins."

Telluride's quiet year.
Thu, Aug 28 2008 1:33 PM

The unique Telluride Film Festival, which (in)famously asks that you place your trust in it, purchase your pass and book inordinately expensive lodging in its small Colorado mountain town before ever knowing what films will be there, kicks off Friday, and has just announced its line-up. Due to the writers strike, this year's festival seems to be low on major... Read More...

Trailering: Benjamin Button, Neil Young.

I don't think the otherwise gloriously shiny teaser trailer for David Fincher's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" needs such twinkly Tim Burton music, and Brad Pitt's accented voiceover at the beginning worries me a bit, but it does look awfully good. The film is an adaptation of a short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald (that can be read... Read More...
