Cannes 2010: Takeshi Kitano’s Outrage Trailer
Takeshi Kitano‘s 15th movie, titled Outrage will be premiering next month at Cannes Film Festival 2010.
This could be just awesome thing to watch, and we’re glad to hear that this director is back into action movies, after some brilliant film – list that includes titles like Violent Cop, Boiling Point, A Scene at the Sea, Fireworks and so on.
Check out the trailer and the rest of this report to see if this new Kitano’s project worth to watch…
As always, the best way to start a story, is by giving you the official synopsis: This story “…begins with Sekiuchi (Kitamura Soichiro), boss of the Sannokai, a huge organised crime syndicate controlling the entire Kanto region, issuing a stern warning to his lieutenant Kato (Miura Tomokazu) and right-hand man Ikemoto (Kunimura Jun), head of the Ikemoto-gumi.
Kato orders Ikemoto to bring the unassociated Murase-gumi gang in line, and he immediately passes the task on to his subordinate Otomo (Beat Takeshi), who runs his own crew. The tricky jobs that no-one wants to do always end up in Otomo’s lap…“
So, as you see, this is kind of basic yakuza plot, and this is a typical yakuza film about gangsters trying to survive in a violent world. Than, what’s so special about this one?
Cannes 2010: Tamara Drewe Starring Gemma Arterton
We guess you already had a chance to hear about Gemma Arterton cast as title character in movie adaptation of Posy Simmonds’s comic strip about a beautiful columnist who ruffles feathers in a rural writers’ retreat.
Today, we are here to write about this quite interesting movie, Tamara Drewe, directed by Stephen Frears, that will also have a place at Cannes Film Festival 2010, although in Out of Competition screening.
If this story doesn’t sound familiar to you, let us remind you that Tamara Drewe is a weekly comic strip serial by Posy Simmonds published in The Guardian’s Review section.
The strip is based upon a modern reworking of Thomas Hardy’s nineteenth century novel Far from the Madding Crowd.
Cannes 2010: Doug Liman’s Fair Game
Like you all had a chance to read here on our site, the Cannes Film Festival 2010 starts on May 12th.
There’s no time to waste guys, so let’s start our little chat about the movies that are in this year competition. One of the interesting titles, with very interesting cast as well, is definitely Fair Game, an upcoming thriller film directed by Doug Liman, starring Naomi Watts and Sean Penn.
Cannes 2010: Biutiful Starring Javier Bardem
Ok, we all love Javier Bardem, right, especially after No Country For Old Men and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
That’s why, although, at first moment, we had no detailed information about Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu‘s upcoming movie titled Biutiful, we already have a feeling that it would be awesome.
And we’ll finally have a chance to enjoy Bardem on big screen at Cannes Film Festival 2010 because this movie is in this year competition!
So, as we said, Javier Bardem is the leading star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful, which is actually the first project of Gonzalez after his much-publicized bust-up with former screenwriting partner Guillermo Arriaga.
If you don’t remember these names, let us remind you that Arriaga and Gonzalez Inarritu were Mexico’s most successful filmmaking duo, starting with their breakout hit Amores Perros in 2000 and the subsequent leap into Hollywood with English-language pics 21 Grams and Babel that formed a trilogy.
Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger
You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger – oh, finally! See, that’s exactly why some of us will keep an eye of this upcoming Woody Allen project!
The film was shot in London last year and will be shown at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Out of Competition.
And yes, this is new and fresh film, starring Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins and Naomi Watts. Check out the rest of our report for more details about this one…
Cannes 2010 Lineup
The official lineup for the 63rd edition of the Cannes Film Festival, which will run from May 12 to 23, 2010, has been unveiled. Check out Cannes Film Festival 2010 official full list below.
Many titles were rumored to be screening but we can’t see them on the list BUT we know that this list isn’t finished and that Festival head Thierry Fremaux will probably find something to surprise us with.
Fremaux said that more films can and will be added to the slate, that the door is still open to add upwards of six additional titles.
Cannes Film Festival 2010 Poster
We already had a little chat about one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious film festivals, the upcoming Cannes Film Festival 2010, so you all know that Ridley Scott directed Robin Hood will have an honour to open it.
You also know that this would be the 63rd film festival in Cannes history, so let big red carpet show begin, on Wednesday May 12th 2010!
Although the official selections are going to be announced April 15th, there are already some rumors about the movies for potential contention.
So, we have some speculations that include pretty interesting titles, like Julie Bertucelli‘s The Tree (starring last year’s Cannes Best Actress winner Charlotte Gainsbourg), Peter Mullan‘s Neds and …But Film Is My Mistress (the second part of Stig Bjorkman’s Ingmar Bergmantribute) and all of this films are all likely to be slotted in various festival programs.
But then, the funny thing happened. Among all this titles (and much more), we had a chance to hear that two movies that are still not expected at big screen, will possibly be screened in Cannes!
