    Joe Wright moved from the stately but intense period piece Atonement to the violent modern fairy tale Hanna without missing a step, and now he has danced back to period form with an adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's classic romance Anna Karenina.

  • Guy Pearce, Ben Foster, And Kelly MacDonald Attached To Steve Buscemi's Adaptation Of William S. Burroughs Novel 'Queer'

    Being a big fan of William S. Burroughs, especially of his early novels before rampant experimentation took over, I thought one of the best news stories of 2010 was the fact that The Messenger and Rampart writer/director Oren Moverman had scripted an adaptation of Burroughs' early novel Queer and that Steve Buscemi would produce and…
