Full Lineup Announcements
– “3-D Auteurs,” a 19-day, 34-film festival spotlighting stereoscopic movies by some of history’s most distinguished directors, will run at Film Forum November 11 – 29. The festival spans 3-D’s earliest days (including some turn-of-the-century films by pioneer Georges Méliès) to the present, and represents virtually every genre, including Westerns, Film Noir, and Science Fiction. Hollywood’s first big 3-D craze (sometimes called 3-D’s “golden era”), intended to offset the threat of television, came in the early 1950s, with such movies as Hitchcock’s “Dial M For Murder,” André De Toth’s “House of Wax” and Jack Arnold’s “Creature From the Black Lagoon” (all included in the series).
Hollywood produced roughly 50 movies in the process from 1952 to 1954, before fizzling out and being overtaken by...

Frost/Nixon star to be joined by Andrew Scott and Kelly Macdonald in a biopic of the 1920s British mountaineer.
Michael Sheen has signed on to play British climber George Mallory in upcoming biopic In High Places, billed as the first film to tell the full story of the tragic 1920s mountaineer.

You could understand if Jeremy Irvine was feeling nervous, on edge, prickly: he's in a foreign country, bearing the burden of being the star of one of the most hyped movies of the year. A 20-year-old English kid, suddenly at the center of a passion project of one of the last half-century's greatest directors, a film that is being tipped for (and would soon be nominated for) a Golden Globe for Best Picture before it even hits theaters. But just hours before Steven Spielberg's "War Horse" premieres in New York, Irvine is all smiles, even as he's recovering from rounds of interviews and is crammed in the back of an elevator.
It's that type of indomitable optimism that must have attracted Spielberg to Irvine, that sort of pluck that made him willing to thrust him into the lead role of an English farm boy who loses his beloved horse...

One Day
Directed by Lone Scherfig
Written by David Nichols
Based on his book
2011, USA
Around the time of its release, Ricky wrote a wonderful column on Super 8 called “8 Reasons to Love or Hate Super 8“, instead of writing an official review for the film. Rick loved the film but he also thought there were significant flaws. He argued both sides for why he loved Super 8 and why another critic would justifiably hate the film. I have decided to do a similar thing with One Day, the latest film by Lone Scherfig and her first since 2009′s An Education, my favorite film of that year. I was greatly anticipating this film due to my love for An Education and despite the meh trailers, I still went in hopeful. I guess I have to acknowledge the ridiculousness of this column. One Day is a film that received mostly terrible...

Lone Scherfig had said after she made An Education, the 60s period romance that turned Carey Mulligan into an international star, that she might want to move on to a genre piece, something with a little more action or, at least, not a historical romance. Then One Day, David Nichols' novel about two people and their love story told across 20 years, fell on Scherfig's desk, and with the film adaptation set to go in front of cameras too, she had another period romance on her hands. Starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess, One Day opens this weekend; I interviewed Scherfig about her favorite elements of the wide-ranging film, how it compared working with Nichols and Nick Hornby (who adapted An Education for the screen), and how Hathaway and Sturgess's natural chemistry made the movie that much stronger. Did the success of An Education make it hard to figure out...

We would never question the authenticity of Captain Jack’s wardrobe, especially since Johnny Depp himself described it in such elaborate detail for last week’s cover story. But we’re not Dave Nichols, editor of Pirates Magazine, who wrote us to point out some additional technical specifications.
“As the editor of Pirates Magazine and an expert on all things piratical, I have to let your readers know that Johnny Depp left out a few interesting facts about his new, improved Jack Sparrow costume.

A new 20th Century Fox conquest will see an adaptation of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel Tender Is The Night and pretty young things Matt Damon and Keira Knightley are rumoured to be taking on the two central characters. The plot will closely follow the original story, set in the 1920s, of an American doctor called Dick Diver and his wife, who live on the French Riviera. The script will be adapted by David Nichols, best known for 2006's Starter For Ten.
The novel has been made into a film before: Jennifer Jones and Jason Robards starred in the 1962 version, which didn't make as big a splash as Fox will be hoping this new adaption will. It follows hot on the heels of another recent Fitzgerald adaptation - The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button - which was taken from one of the novelist's short stories.
However, neither actor has officially...
