  • 'Clear History' TV Trailer: Larry David Returns To HBO

    Walter White isn't the only prickly small-screen antihero coming back in the next couple of weeks. Larry David is returning to television for the first time since Curb Your Enthusiasm's eighth season ended in 2011 with Clear History, a new movie by HBO.

  • 'Breathe In' Trailer: Guy Pearce Has Inappropriate Feelings For Felicity Jones

    Guy Pearce was last seen in Iron Man 3, and Felicity Jones will soon appear in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. But in Drake Doremus' Breathe In, they'll both ditch the superpowered world for a quieter, messier, more grounded one.

    Mikael Håfström's The Tomb attracted some attention for reuniting '80s action stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, but the project's collected quite an eclectic cast since its early days. After adding Jim Caviezel back in February, The Tomb has now also signed Vincent D'Onofrio, Vinnie Jones, 50 Cent, and Amy Ryan. The combination isn't entirely random: D'Onofrio,…

  • Two Clips And Featurette From 'Win Win'

    We're still in the first quarter of 2011, but the best film I've seen so far is Tom McCarthy's Win Win. The Fox Searchlight release wowed audiences at Sundance and will surely do the same at South by Southwest in advance of its March 18 release date. A dramatic sports comedy, it stars Paul Giamatti…

  • New Poster: 'Win Win' From Director Tom McCarthy

    I'm a big fan of Tom McCarthy as an actor and director (The Station Agent, The Visitor) so I'm curious to see both his sorta-directorial effort for the pilot of Game of Thrones (reshoots were done without him) and his new indie Win Win, starring Paul Giamatti. The story follows a struggling middle-aged attorney and…

  • Peter Hedges To Adapt His Novel The Heights Into A Movie

    One of my favourite screenwriters at work today is Peter Hedges. He's a master of light-touch characterisation and sweetly woven plotline, and in the two films he's directed as well as scripted, he's shown that his eye for acutely telling detail and clear storytelling can be manifest visually as well as on the page. His…
