    Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week…

    There's a film with Cate Blanchett, Rose Byrne, Hugo Weaving, Miranda Otto, and Richard Roxburgh that US audiences haven't had a chance to see yet. The Turning is an Australian anthology film that adapts a set of short stories by Tim Winton, with more than a dozen directors, including Mia Wasikowska and Anthony Lucas (The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello), David Wenham (300: Rise of…

    'The Turning' Trailer: Directed By Mia Wasikowska And Sixteen More

    By Angie Han June 27th, 2013

    Omnibus films are tricky beasts. Their very structure tends to make them wildly uneven, particularly if the director and stars change between each segment. But even if the occasional dud is all but unavoidable, a couple of really great pieces can make the whole thing worth watching. The Turning consists of seventeen interconnected shorts, each…

    With six stories spanning nearly three hours, told by an ensemble cast and three directors, the sheer amount of information presented by and discussions one can have about Cloud Atlas is staggering. Co-writers and directors Tom Tykwer, Andy and Lana Wachowski took David Mitchell's novel, which nests six stories within each other, and broke it down…

  • Hugo Weaving Doesn't Want To Reprise Red Skull In Future Marvel Films

    By Germain Lussier October 15th, 2012

    Part of the reason why the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been so successful is foresight. When signing up an actor to play a role, the studio requires they sign a multi-picture deal so the characters can appear not only in their own movies, but others as well. It's how films like The Avengers are possible…

    The same breathtaking ambition that makes Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer's David Mitchell adaptation Cloud Atlas so intriguing also gives it the potential to flop, hard. Weaving together six interlocking stories that cut across time, space, and genre is difficult enough to do within the confines of a novel, to say nothing of…

    Ten years ago this week The Fellowship of the Ring was released. Peter Jackson's first Tolkien adaption silenced a great many naysayers who said J.R.R. Tolkien's novels could never be properly translated to film. It also fostered a mainstream interest in fantasy movies that continues a decade later. The development of a film based on…

    By Russ Fischer December 6th, 2011

    From the very beginning, the Andy and Lana Wachowski & Tom Tykwer adaptation of the David Mitchell novel Cloud Atlas has sounded pretty crazy. There's the simple fact that the book is built out of six stories, each of which follows a different set of characters and is based on a different genre of storytelling.…

Williams (who, like John Goodman, just guest-appeared on Community) was in the running for the title role in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, and though he lost the part to Jamie Foxx, he may still end up in the film, in a part written just for him.
