127 Hours of James Franco
James Franco is extremely busy at the moment, what with doing the promotional rounds for the upcoming releases of Your Highness and Howl. He will also be co hosting the Oscars when they roll around on February 27 and has reportedly been approached for the Linda Lovelace biopic. Wow!
Actor/director/writer/painter/Oscar host James Franco was recently stopped at Sundance to discuss his latest film and Best Picture nominee 127 Hours. He assured us excitedly:
I know I’m biased; I think it’s the most innovative movie this year. “127 Hours” is about a guy — one single character in a single place. That is like the cutting edge of moviemaking. Short of, like, doing it in 3-D or something. I think [“127 Hours”] is perfect.
However, he certainly has this right: “127 Hours,” a movie about a Colorado adventurer’s near-fatal ordeal in a Utah desert wilderness, was nominated Tuesday for the best-picture Oscar, and its star, James Franco himself, earned a best-actor nod as well. The film received six Oscar nominations overall, as you know. The movie was based in Ralston’s book about his ordeal, “Between a Rock and a Hard Place.”
James McAvoy Talks X-Men: First Class
Referring to previously posted news about one of this summer’s biggest blockbusters, the Matthew Vaughn-directed X-Men: First Class, we have some of recent James McAvoy talks his role as Professor X (due in theaters on June 3rd), about what it’s like having freedom with their portrayals and how he wishes he had a more visual superpower and some more.
Asking about his way toward the character, especialy in the light of Patrick Stewart‘s performances in the previous X-Men films, McAvoy disclosed that Xavier was at first going to be bald, but the studio rejected the idea. It seems that this detail was enough to help him escape from under the influence of Stewart’s performance.

Hooper finds himself in a position of great advantage. As director of The King’s Speech, one of the most critically valued movies of this awards season, he has a strong possibility of winning an Oscar in February. And thus become one of the leading film directors in his country. A Londoner with youthful appearance, soft hair and a self-assured look, Hooper, 38, started narrating not likely beginnings of The King’s Speech.
This British film is about a stammer suffered by King George VI, widely known as Bertie before ascending the throne. Australian speech therapist Lionel Logue made progress in Bertie’s stammer where others did not succeed.

Shutter Island: Martin Scorsese Interview
From Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese, Shutter Island is the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo), who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the cost of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island’s fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.
Q: What were your influences that fed into the making of Shutter Island?
A: There were films that we looked at. The mood and tone of the Val Lewton (producer) films from the early 1940s are great. I showed I Walked With A Zombie and Cat People – terrible titles but great works of poetry. Both of these were produced by Lewton and directed by Jacques Tourneur and there’s another Lewton picture, The Isle of the Dead, which is directed by Mark Robson, and is also very interesting. And certainly we looked at (Roman) Polanski’s films – Cul-de-sac, Repulsion and the ultimate one of this kind, Rosemary’s Baby. Even when you know the ending of Rosemary’s Baby you can watch that film many, many times because it’s fascinating to see how everybody is behaving. The actors are extraordinary and the way he shot it is brilliant – it’s a film that keeps revealing itself through the behaviour of the characters. So that was a big one. I showed Leo and Mark two films right away – Laura and Out of the Past. Actually, I showed them to Sir Ben Kingsley, too, and he hadn’t seen them. At the end of Out of the Past, Leo started applauding and he said ‘I think that’s the coolest movie I’ve ever seen..’
