They say art is timeless. That may not always be true, but we can probably say this much: all art eventually becomes timely again. Case in point, Henrik Ibsen's play A Doll's House, which is being adapted and set amongst the modern economic crisis by writer/director Charles Huddleston. He's already lining up a hell of a cast, as well: Variety reports that Ben Kingsley, Julian Sands, and Jena Malone are on board for the film. Ibsen's play, originally premiered in Copenhagen, Denmark in 1879, centers around a family struggling with financial troubles and secrets that threaten to split them apart. Huddleston adapted the play along with Michele Martin (who previously co-wrote Dadgum, Texas with Huddleston). Martin is also acting in A Doll's House, playing the lead female role of Nora Helmer. Kingsley and Malone will be taking on the roles of Dr. Rank and Christine Linde, friend of Nora's.

[1] Steve Carell's been doing quite well for himself in his post-Office career. He's already got several films lined up for the next couple of years, including Bennett Miller's Foxcatcher and the magician comedy Burt Wonderstone. Now the latest addition to his slate is Conviction, a heist film which he'll produce and star in. Jonathan Herman's Black List script centers around a convicted bank robber who's forced by the FBI to entrap his former protege. Which sounds good, except that while Herman's original screenplay had a tone similar to Heat, it's now being reworked as an action comedy in the vein of 48 Hours or Ocean's Eleven. That seems like a pretty major shift, though without having read the script I can't say for certain whether it's a terrible idea. The project has yet to confirm a writer to draft a new version of the script. [Deadline [2]] After the jump,...

We’re hearing from Variety that James Franco and Harmony Korine will make their second pairing in Spring Breakers, something I would call a drama — but you never know with this guy. The film follows “four college-aged girls who rob a fast food restaurant to afford spring break in Florida, only to get arrested upon their arrival.”
Franco has been locked to play “Alien, a rapping drug and arms dealer who bails them out and entices them to kill his arch-rival, a murderer who is appropriately named Arch,” and Emma Roberts is in talks for the part of “one of the girls, Candy, a Southern brunette who feeds off danger.” Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez are also in talks (why are you looking at me like I’m joking?). Should they join, the latter will appear as “a religious girl who isn’t a thrill-seeker like the rest of the group.

A modern-day take on Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House is on the way. Variety reports that the cast includes Ben Kingsley, Jenna Malone, Michele Martin and Julian Sands. The project will be directed by Charles Huddleston and written by Huddleston and Martin (the pair previously collaborated on the indie projects Dadgum, Texas and Assisting Venus , the latter of which also starred Sands). Ibsen originally wrote A Doll's House in 1879, telling the story of a failing marriage against a Christmas backdrop. The updated version, to film in Cincinnati in January of 2012, will make use of the present-day American economy. Martin will play Nora Helmer with Malone as Mrs. Linde and Kingsley as Dr. Rank. Sands' role is that of "Nathan Gynt" (possibly a variation of the...

The 7th annual Atlanta Underground Film Festival is like having four different fests crammed into an exhaustive three days on Aug. 27-29. It’s an outrageous underground fest, an animation festival, a documentary fest and a horror movie festival: The culmination of a month of fests run by Atlanta’s Festival League. There’s tons of short films, documentaries, features and more.
There’s lots of great stuff to recommend, too. On the last night of the fest, there will be a screening of Chris Hansen‘s second feature film, Endings, which tells the touching story of three people spending their last day on Earth together. The film was reviewed on Bad Lit a few months ago. On the short film front, there’s Loretta Hintz‘s wild lesbian bestiality (sort of) tale, The Sheep and the Ranch Hand and two films by the perpetually awesome Neil Ira Needleman, Meeskit...
