The Lovely Bones

The Lovely Bones is an upcoming film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Alice Sebold, set for release on December 11, 2009. The film was directed by Peter Jackson and stars actress Saoirse Ronan as Susie Salmon, with Rachel Weisz and Mark Wahlberg as her parents, Susan Sarandon as her grandmother and Stanley Tucci as George Harvey, her murderer.

Feature rights to Sebold's novel had been bought by Film4 Productions when it was only a manuscript with Lynne Ramsay attached to write and direct, but the company was eventually shut down. Jackson and his producer partners eventually acquired the rights independently and developed a script on their own, later selling it to DreamWorks. Production began in October 2007 in New Zealand and Pennsylvania. Paramount became a sole distributor a year later when they split with DreamWorks. The film's trailer was released on August 4th 2009.

Synopsis

In 1973, Susie Salmon (Ronan) is raped and murdered by a neighbor, George Harvey (Tucci), a serial killer of young girls and women. She finds herself in Heaven, observing her family as they grieve for her. She also watches her killer who, having covered his tracks successfully, is preparing to murder again. Susie struggles to balance her desire for vengeance on Harvey and her desire to have her family recover from their loss.

Cast

• Saoirse Ronan as Susie Salmon. Ronan reminded Jackson of Cate Blanchett–"a younger Cate, I can see her having the sort of career and making the types of films that Cate has been making"–and Elijah Wood, because they shared an eagerness to follow their director.
• Rachel Weisz as Abigail Salmon, Susie's mother.
• Mark Wahlberg as Jack Salmon, Susie's father.
• Stanley Tucci as George Harvey, Susie's killer.
• Susan Sarandon as Lynn, Susie's grandmother and Abigail's mother.
• Rose McIver as Lindsey Salmon, Susie's sister.
• Michael Imperioli as Len Fenerman, a police detective in charge of investigating Susie's death.
• Reece Ritchie as Ray Singh, Susie's mutual love interest.
• Charlie Saxton as Ronald Drake.
• Carolyn Dando as Ruth Conners, a classmate of Susie's.
• Amanda Michalka as Clarissa, Susie’s best friend.

The role of Jack Salmon had to be recast right before principal photography began. Ryan Gosling, who had gained 20 pounds and grown a beard for the role, had been cast. Gosling said "the age of the character versus my real age was always a concern of mine. Peter [Jackson] and I tried to make it work and ultimately it just didn't. I think the film is much better off with Mark Wahlberg in that role."

Production

In May 2000, Film4 Productions acquired feature film rights to Alice Sebold's novel The Lovely Bones, when it was a half-written manuscript. Producer Aimee Peyronnet had sought to attract studio interest to the manuscript, and an insider informed Film4's deputy head of production, Jim Wilson, of the project. The company attached Luc Besson and Peyronnet's production company Seaside to the project, two years before the novel's release. By February 2001, Lynne Ramsay was hired to direct and write the film adaptation of the novel. In July 2002, Channel 4 shut down Film4, causing Hollywood studios and producers to pursue acquisition of feature film rights to The Lovely Bones, which had spent multiple weeks at the top of the New York Times Best Seller list. The film adaptation, which had been estimated at a budget of $15 million, remained with Channel 4 under its newly developed inhouse film unit, with Ramsay still contracted to write and direct. By October 2002, Ramsay was writing the script with fellow screenwriter Liana Dognini, with filming planned for summer 2003. Author Alice Sebold was invited by the producers to provide input on the project.

In July 2003, the studio DreamWorks negotiated a first look deal with producer Peyronnet, after DreamWorks founder Steven Spielberg had expressed interest in the project. DreamWorks did not acquire the rights to the novel, and Ramsay was eventually detached from the project. In April 2004, producers Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens entered negotiations to develop the project.^[21] Jackson described the book as "a wonderfully emotional and powerful story. Like all the best fantasy, it has a solid grounding in the real world." By January 2005, Jackson and Walsh planned to independently purchase film rights and to seek studio financing after a script had been developed. The producers sought to begin adapting a spec script for The Lovely Bones in January 2006, with the goal of script completion and budget estimation by the following May. Jackson explained he enjoyed the novel because he found "curiously optimistic" and uplifting because of the narrator's sense of humor, adding there was a difference between its tone and subject matter. He felt very few films dealt with the loss of a loved one. Jackson foresaw the most challenging element in the novel to adapt was the portrayal of Susie, the protagonist, in heaven, and making it "ethereal and emotional but not hokey".^[22] Saoirse Ronan explained Jackson chose to depict the afterlife as depending on Susie's emotions. "Whenever Susie feels happy, Heaven is sunny and there's birds and everything. Whenever it’s not so great, it's raining or she’s in the middle of an ocean." Jackson quoted the book's description of "heaven" as being an "In-Between" rather than a true heaven, and he was not trying to paint a definitive picture of Heaven itself.

A 120-page draft of the script was written by September 2006. In April 2007, with the script completed by Jackson, Walsh, and Boyens, and Jackson intending to direct, the group of producers began seeking a studio partner to finance the film adaptation. Besides the major studios, smaller companies including United Artists were also contacted. New Line Cinema was excluded from negotiations due to Jackson's legal dispute with the studio over royalties from his Lord of the Rings trilogy. Jackson sought a beginning $65 million budget for The Lovely Bones, also requesting from studios what kind of promotional commitments and suggestions they would make for the film adaptation. By May, four studios remained interested in the project: DreamWorks, Warner Bros., Sony, and Universal. The Lovely Bones was sold to DreamWorks for $70 million. Paramount Pictures received the rights to distribute the film worldwide. Production began in October 2007 in Pennsylvania and New Zealand Shooting in parts of Delaware, Chester and Montgomery Counties, including Hatfield,^{[citation needed]} Ridley Township, Phoenixville, Royersford, Malvern and East Fallowfield lasted a few weeks, and most of the studio shooting was done in New Zealand.

In December 2008, Brian Eno signed on to compose the film's score. Fran Walsh, a big fan of his work, suggested him to Jackson. Jackson had called Eno to request using two of his early tracks to evoke atmosphere for the 1970s scenes in the film, when Eno asked if he could compose the whole score, which surprised Jackson since he had heard Eno did not like working on films. For the film's ending, Eno uncovered a demo he had done in 1973 and reunited with the vocalist to create a proper version for the film. "That song from 1973 was finally finished in 2008!", said Jackson.

Release

It was originally scheduled for release on March 13, 2009, but was delayed to December 11, 2009 as the studio became interested in releasing the film for "awards season", which gave Jackson an opportunity to make some effects shots larger in scope. The film's trailer will be released on August 7th 2009 along with the film Julie & Julia. The trailer had its worldwide premiere on Entertainment Tonight on August 4th, and was shortly posted online afterwards.

The Wolfman

The Wolfman is a 2010 remake of the 1941 classic horror film of the same name. The remake is directed by Joe Johnston and stars Benicio del Toro. Although originally scheduled for November 6, 2009, it has once again been pushed back to be released on February 12, 2010.

Premise

Set in the late 1880s, the film keeps the plotline of the original, with Lawrence Talbot (Benicio del Toro) meeting his father (Anthony Hopkins) following the death (and in the remake, disappearance) of his brother. The film details events during Lawrence's past that led to his estrangement from his father (which includes Gwen), and the setting is changed from the mythical Welsh village of Llanwelly to the English village of Blackmore and the city of London. official synopsis states Talbot was traumatized by his mother's death as a child, while Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) is his brother's fiancée. Following his brother's disappearance, Talbot hunts a murderer, which turns out to be a werewolf, and the curse is passed on.

Production

In March 2006, Universal Pictures announced the remake of The Wolf Man with actor Benicio del Toro (a fan of the original film and collector of Wolf Man memorabilia) in the lead role.Andrew Kevin Walker was attached to the screenplay, developing the original film's story to include additional characters as well as plot points that would take advantage of modern visual effects. Del Toro also looked towards Werewolf of London and The Curse of the Werewolf for inspiration.

In February 2007, director Mark Romanek was attached to helm The Wolfman. The film was scheduled for a November 12, 2008 release, before being pushed back to early 2009 in September 2007. In January 2008, Romanek left the project because of "creative differences". Brett Ratner emerged as a frontrunner to replace Romanek, but the studio also met with Frank Darabont, James Mangold and Joe Johnston. They were also interested in Bill Condon, and Martin Campbell was interested. Johnston was hired to direct on February 3, 2008, and the film's shooting schedule and budget remained as intended. Johnston hired David Self to rewrite the script.

Shooting took place from March 3 to June 23, 2008 in the United Kingdom.^[12] The film was budgeted at US$85 million. They shot at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, Chatsworth, Derbyshire, and Castle Combe in Wiltshire They transformed Chatsworth House by adding weeds, dead grass and ivy. They also shot in Lacock in Wiltshire, a village conserved by the National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty, for a day. Universal donated £5000 to the village, in return for filming in the tithe barn for a scene involving frozen corpses. A funeral scene was also shot beside the Temple of Ancient Virtue at Stowe House for the duration of an afternoon, the temple coated in false ivy with copious amounts of smoke/mist floating over the setting. Pick-ups at Pinewood were conducted in May 2009.

Rick Baker created the make-up for The Wolfman. When he heard Universal was remaking the film, he eagerly pursued it, as both The Wolf Man and Frankenstein inspired him to become a make-up artist as a child. He acknowledged transforming del Toro was difficult because he is a hairy man: "Going from Benicio to Benicio as the Wolf Man isn't a really extreme difference. Like when I did An American Werewolf in London, we went from this naked man to a four-legged hound from hell, and we had a lot of room to go from the transformation and do a lot of really extreme things. Here we have Benicio del Toro, who's practically the Wolf Man already, to Benicio del Toro with more hair and bigger teeth."

Rick Baker, Emily Blunt, and Benicio del Toro at the 2008 Comic-Con convention promoting the film

Baker and del Toro were adamant about the design resembling the make-up created by Jack Pierce, but Romanek went through thousands of concept art. When Johnston signed on, Baker returned to his second design, which is the finished result. The make-up took three hours to apply, and one hour to remove. New pieces of latex prosthetic makeup and loose hair was applied to del Toro's face each day, while several dentures and wigs were created in case some were damaged. Baker said the transformation will likely be computer-generated, which disappoints him as he is not being involved and therefore feels it will look unrealistic (as the animators do not have his knowledge of the design). In February 2009, ZBrush art of the transformation by Baker leaked online.

Cast

• Benicio del Toro as Lawrence Talbot/The Wolfman
• Anthony Hopkins as Sir John Talbot, Lawrence's father. Hopkins said the Universal Horror series "when played today come across as pretty corny, but they were entertaining."
• Emily Blunt as Gwen Conliffe, with whom Talbot falls in love. Blunt liked the "mythological", "Gothic and majestic" story and signed on despite her fear of horror films. Blunt said Gwen was probably the first "innately good" character she ever played.
• Hugo Weaving as Detective Aberline, who investigates murders by the transformed Talbot.^[11]
• Geraldine Chaplin as Maleva, an old Gypsy.

Art Malik, Rob Dixon, Nicholas Day, Michael Cronin, David Schofield, David Sterne, Roger Frost, Dianne Pilkington and Clive Russell have also been confirmed, although their roles are not known.

Release

The Wolfman was originally scheduled for February 13, 2009 (a Friday the 13th), and was then moved to April 3, 2009. In December 2008, Universal moved the release to November 6, 2009 to give them more time to market the film.The film was yet again moved in late July 2009 to February 12, 2010.

The cast and crew were back on location re-shooting the movie in the grounds of Greenwich Royal naval college and park over the weekends of May 22-25 and 30-31, 2009. The purpose of the reshoots was to change the way one werewolf looked in the movie. Previously, it stood on two legs, but now, he stands on four. Also, an action scene was added between "the Wolf Man and the Werewolf" according to Vic Armstrong.

According to Universal Pictures, the first trailer for The Wolfman will be attached to Inglourious Basterds in theaters on August 21st. They have not yet set a date for it to appear online but it should appear soon after.

Grace

Grace (2009)

Starring Jordan Ladd, Stephen Park, Gabrielle Rose, Samantha Ferris, Malcolm Stewart

Directed by Paul Solet

---

Grace is not your typical horror film. In fact, it would be hard to even classify it under the category of pure horror. The best way that I could define Grace is by saying it's like Ordinary People meets The Ice Storm meets Rosemary's Baby. I think the fact that it defies any one label is a credit to the genius behind the craftsmanship of the movie.

This past weekend at the Sundance Film Festival, I finally had my chance to see if Grace would truly live up to the expectations I had for it. I'm happy to say it absolutely delivered (pun completely intended).

Grace tells the story of Madeline Matheson (Jordan Ladd, Cabin Fever) whose focus in life is on having both a natural lifestyle and, more importantly, a natural childbirth. She does her best to ignore the increasing pressure put on her by her controlling mother-in-law Vivian (Gabrielle Rose, The Sweet Hereafter) for a normal hospital delivery as she prepares for the big day when baby Grace will arrive.

Madeline’s husband Michael (Stephen Park, Slither) does his best to remain supportive of her choices while conflicted by his close relationship with his mother. All is going as well as can be until a tragic car accident leaves Michael dead and an unborn baby Grace unresponsive. Madeline, however, remains determined to carry Grace to term nonetheless, where she miraculously wills her child back to life. Over time, Madeline soon begins to realize that there is something unnatural about baby Grace, and she is forced to make horrible sacrifices of herself and others just to keep her alive.

Grace is director Paul Solet’s debut feature film, which he also wrote the script for. Based on his 2006 short film of the same name, the full-length film version is a complete departure from the surrealistic and gut-punch approach that garnered the attention of genre fans and those working in the horror industry alike.

This time Solet delivers the story of Grace with a directorial precision and quiet restraint that demonstrates skill beyond his years and makes it hard to believe that this is just the start of his career. His ability to handle such intricate subject matter like the mother-child bond displays Solet’s maturity in crafting a complex script.

Solet also doesn’t follow recent genre trends by slapping audiences around with “in your face” type of horror; rather, he relies on a strong character-driven dramatic approach that leaves viewers unnerved and tense as the film builds to terrifying heights during the final act.

Ladd’s performance as Madeline is revelatory as she plays a mother’s descent into seclusion as she becomes more and more unraveled with the knowledge that her miracle baby is less than perfect with delicate passion.

Rose’s performance as Vivian, who has some very deep-seated character flaws to say the very least, brims with a self-possessed ferocity as she struggles with the loss of her son and her inability to see her granddaughter and keep control over the situation due to Madeline’s descent into recluse.

Grace works on a lot of different levels; it can be accessible to both genre fans as well as those who generally shy away from horror. However, for those of you who seek loud, slasher-type films, this may not be your cup of tea. While the movie may not be straight-up horror, there are quite a few moments that can leave viewers both anxious and squeamish. The last twenty minutes alone are relentless enough to keep you breathless in your seat.

Grace is very much the antidote to what plagues most of the horror genre today. For those who are tired of the endless remakes and reincarnations of overseas films, Grace very well could be the movie you need to see to restore your faith in the idea that there is still an artistic vision within the horror genre. I know it has restored mine.

Halloween II

Halloween II

Rob Zombie's follow-up to his 2007 reboot of the Halloween series is due out in theaters next month on August 28th. The studio has released the first full length movie trailer for Halloween II and it actually looks pretty solid!

The movie will follow Laurie Strode as she deals with her brother Michael's return. Watch the trailer and tell me you're not ready to scream just a little again.

Danielle Harris Dishes on H2

In the upcoming Halloween sequel, Danielle Harris plays Annie Brackett.

She spoke to IGN this week about the story of H2. Where does it pick up from? According to the actress:

The opening actually picks up probably about two hours after [Laurie] shoots him, from the last movie. There's a bunch of stuff in the hospital as well. And then it will smash cut to two years later. Laurie now lives with Annie and Sheriff Brackett, because her parents are gone. We have a very interesting relationship two years after. [Fear Clinic's] Susan and Annie are kind of similar.

Both characters have sort of evolved into [being], like, odd, self-righteous, sensitive but never knowing it, because they've been through such traumatic things in their lives.

On H2, this terrible, horrible thing that happened two years ago – cut to how it affects you. Maybe that you're not wanting to come out of your house. Maybe never getting out of a bathrobe. Not wanting to be that feisty, sassy, spunky I'm going to date guys [girl]… After you're attacked by somebody, that kind of goes out the window.

H2 Scoop: A Maskless Michael Myers

Wayne Toth, the special effects guru behind H2, spoke to Shock Til You Drop this week, and revealed a lot about the upcoming Halloween follow-up.

Toth said Michael Myers will spend at least 70% of the sequel without his icnonic mask.

As portrayed by Tyler Mane, the villain will appear as a disheveled, bearded hulk.

"That's Michael's new look for a lot of the film," Toth said. "Fans will be shocked. They seem pretty responsive to it. But it's like anything else, as long as you're doing something cool, people get it."

Brea Grant Cast in H2

According to director Rob Zombie's official blog, Brea Grant has joined the cast of H2.

Grant, best known for her role as the speedster Daphne in Heroes, will portray, "Laurie Strode's co-worker at Uncle Meat's Jave Hole - Mya," according to Zombie.

H2 will be released on August 28.

Tyler Mane to Reprise Role in Halloween Sequel

With Rob Zombie officially on board for a Halloween sequel, the director has confirmed that the previous movie's main character will return for H2.

"There ain't no new Michael Myers. It's Tyler Mane again f*ckers!" Zombie wrote on his MySpace blog. "Yes, Tyler has signed back on for Halloween Two."

Zombie's H2 will pick up at the exact moment the first movie stopped. It will follow the aftermath of Michael Myers' murderous rampage, looked at through the eyes of heroine Laurie Strode.

Jennifer's Body

Jennifer's Body is a 2009 dark comedy and horror film written by Diablo Cody. The film, described as similar in tone to Heathers,^[2] is directed by Karyn Kusama, and stars Megan Fox as the title character, Amanda Seyfried as her best friend Needy, and Adam Brody as the antagonist Nikolai. The movie is named after a song by Hole. It is scheduled for theatrical release in the United States and Canada on September 18, 2009.

Amanda Seyfried plays Needy—a nerdy plain jane, Jennifer's friend since childhood. Jennifer ends up as the sacrifice in a Satanic ritual, held by a rock band, hoping that the sacrifice will increase their chances of getting a record deal. The ritual goes horribly wrong and Jennifer becomes possessed by a demon and begins to feed off of the boys in her high school—first seducing them to get close, and then eating them as meals. It becomes Needy's goal to stop Jennifer from killing more of her classmates.

Production

Pre-production

Jennifer's Body is the follow-up to writer and producer Diablo Cody and Jason Reitman collaboration efforts on Juno. In October 2007, Fox Atomic pre-emptively purchased the rights to Cody's script with Megan Fox to star. Peter Rice, who oversees both Fox Searchlight and Fox Atomic, brought in the project as Fox Searchlight had previously distributed Cody's film Juno. Mason Novick and Reitman's producing parter Dan Dubiecki signed as producers in November 2007 with plans to produce the film under Hard C, which is housed at Fox Searchlight. Reitman commented, "We want to make unusual films, and anything that turns a genre on its ear interests Dan and I." Karyn Kusama was announced as director in January 2008.

In February 2008, a cease and desist was given to a writer at CC2K.com after they posted an advanced script review for the film. The Latino Review also posted an advanced review. At the time CC2K.com received their cease and desist order, questions were raised why Latino Review's largely positive script review was allowed to stay posted while CC2K was being forced by Fox Searchlight to remove their mainly negative coverage. Although Latino Review was later asked to remove their review, numerous other websites and blogs have published their own critiques of the script.

Casting

Megan Fox was in negotiations to star as Jennifer, the perfect possessed cheerleader, since the film was announced in 2007, and was officially cast in October 2007. In February 2008, Amanda Seyfried was cast as Needy, the "plain Jane" best friend to Fox's character..com reported on the casting of Nikolai that the filmmakers were looking at actual rock band members Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte. Also considered was actor Chad Michael Murray. In March 2008, actor Johnny Simmons was reportedly cast as the male lead Nikolai Wolf. However, Adam Brody was officially cast in the role of Nikolai, while Simmons was then given the role of Chip. Steven Hollojon was cast in the role of the sexually excited young male who was the first victim to be killed by the possesed Jennifer.

Filming

In late 2007, Fox Atomic had plans to film Jennifer's Body before a possible writer's strike. However, when the Writers Guild of America strike began, shooting was then moved to March 7, 2008 in Burnaby, British Columbia, specifically at Robert Burnaby Park near Cariboo Hill Secondary School. Some of the scenes, particularly those situated in a school setting, were filmed in local Vancouver-area schools, such as Vancouver Technical Secondary School, Langley Secondary School and University Hill Secondary School.

Season of the Witch

No, seriously, it’s Nicolas Cage on a horse from his new movie “Season of the Witch”, not to be mistaken with that pseudo “Halloween” sequel that no one could figure out because, well, what the eff, right? “Season of the Witch” is a 14th-century supernatural thriller that has Cage playing a knight who just recently returned from the Crusades, only to have to deal with an evil sorceress played by British actress Claire Foy who is spreading some bad voodoo across the land. Cage is all, “But I’ve lost my faith and junk due to fighting in the Crusades, and now I gotta deal with this?” And everyone is like, “Dude, you gotta take the chick to some mountain and make her stop her evil ways,” and Cage is like, “Man, being a knight blows!”

Dominic Sena (”Swordfish”) directs, and here’s your first look at Cage on a horse from “Season of the Witch” courtesy of the chaps at USA Today.

My guess is that Cage’s knight falls in love with the witch and realizes she’s not the real cause of the bad hoodoo and they live happily ever after. Years later, people find out they’ve opened a hair plug shop in the mountains and are making a mint selling fake hair to people that, as it turns out, are not people hair, but are actually goat hair. They then get burned alive and some other people take over their shop. I could be wrong, of course.

Nic Cage vs. Witches in Season of the Witch

He was dangerous with a gun in “Bangkok Dangerous”, and now Nicolas Cage is dangerous with a sword in “Season of the Witch”, in which he’ll play a 14th century knight trying to help a girl accused of witchery get rid of her little problem. Obviously, this is the kind of role Cage was born to play. Um, well, not really, but you know, considering that this is Hollywood, and Cage will be directed by the flashy-to-a-fault Dominic Sena (who last directed Cage in the car masterpiece “Gone in Sixty Seconds”, known primarily as “the car movie where Angelina Jolie had dreads and still managed to look totally hot”), does it matter?

Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media and Atlas Entertainment are backing the project, with Atlas founder Charles Roven and partner Alex Gartner set as producers.

Cage plays a 14th century knight transporting a girl suspected of being the witch behind the Black Plague. His compatriots help him bring the girl to an abbey of monks trained in exorcising demons.

“Witch,” written by Bragi Schut Jr. (CBS’ “Threshold”), is set to begin production in early November in Austria and Hungary.

Cage is currently shooting the live-action version of Mark Millar’s teenage superhero movie “Kick Ass”, in which he plays the role of Big Daddy, father to teenage gut-slicer Hit Girl. That movie promises to be something you’ll remember, even if it ends up sucking. This one? Not so much.
