'Red Tails' Star Tristan Wilds Soars In Exclusive Clip

A lot goes into making a World War II epic like "Red Tails." You can just ask one of its stars Tristan Wilds. In this exclusive look behind the scenes, Wilds guides us through the making of George Lucas' pet project. For over twenty year, Lucas attempted to bring the amazing story of the courageous Tuskegee Airmen to the big screen. Having finally succeeded in moving ahead with the project as producer, all there was left to do was film the thing. In the video, Wilds shares his experiences portraying Ray "Ray Gun" Gannon, a member of the all-black group of fighter pilots. For the film, Wilds pretended to fly a plane and sustain some serious-looking injuries, but what he couldn't fake, a partial parachute jump, took a little more effort. The cast of "Red Tails" also features Cuba Gooding Jr., David Oyelowo, Kevin Phillips, Nate Parker, Daniela Ruah and Michael B. Jordan. The movie hits theaters on January 20, 2012. Be sure to watch the entire look behind the scenes of "Red Trails" with Tristan Wilds above. What did you think of the behind the scenes video? Let us know in the comments below and on Twitter!

The general market's been cranky, plus some experts be worried about Zynga's near total reliance on Facebook, where it creates a lot more than 90% of their revenue.

Notes from the Magical, Inspired LACMA Live-Read of The Princess Bride

“Inconceivable!” With a single word, unveiled at the close of last month’s live-read of The Apartment, Jason Reitman launched AOUS (that’s Anticipation of Unusual Size) for the December 15 installment in his brilliant LACMA/Film Independent series. Few films are so magical, so beloved, so instantly and indelibly quotable as The Princess Bride, Rob Reiner’s 1987 fantasy-comedy, written by William Goldman, about a princess and her pirate and those involved in and affected by their adventure. And few live-read casting choices could be as inspired as Reitman’s: Paul Rudd in the Westley role originated by Cary Elwes, Cary Elwes in the Humperdinck role originated by Chris Sarandon, and, performing the part of the Grandson first portrayed by Fred Savage over two decades ago… Fred Savage. That’s right: Fred Savage, donning a Bears jersey, took the stage to reprise his role of the sick little boy at first skeptical of, then enamored by, the fantasy adventure his grandfather recites to him in bed. Secret guests Elwes, Savage, and the film’s director, Rob Reiner — wonderfully cast as the Grandfather, a role originated by Peter Falk — joined the likes of Rudd, Mindy Kaling (as Buttercup), Nick Kroll (as Rugen), and Kevin Pollack (as Miracle Max) in the Reitman-led live read. The full line-up: Paul Rudd as Westley Mindy Kaling as Buttercup Cary Elwes as Prince Humperdinck Nick Kroll as Count Rugen Patton Oswalt as Vizzini Bill Fagerbakke as Fezzik Goran Vinjic as Inigo Montoya Kevin Pollack as Miracle Max Collette Wolfe as Valerie Fred Savage as The Grandson Rob Reiner as The Grandfather Where the Breakfast Club live-read kicked off the series in a swirl of pop nostalgia and last month’s The Apartment made the unconventional format come alive with a throwback sense of class, The Princess Bride was instantly, charmingly special in its own way. It started with the very first line, uttered by Savage with the same boyish rasp and sass he had at age 11, being told of his grandfather’s impending visit: “Can’t you tell him I’m sick?” Moments later, as Rudd’s country boy Westley ambled through his happy prologue with Buttercup, he glanced two seats over for Elwes’s approval with every “As you wiiiiiish.” (Elwes seemed pleased, passing the torch with a nod to the audience’s, and Rudd’s, delight.) Patton Oswalt took the live-read by storm with an uncanny take on the snide Sicilian Vizzini; imagine a blend of original Vizzini Wallace Shawn, mixed with a basement-dwelling LARPer dictating aloud his ceremoniously superior flames on an internet message board, and you get the idea. In other words, Oswalt was transcendent. And his spoon-on-spoon foley work during The Man in Black’s swordfight with Inigo? Award-worthy. Other highlights: Goran Vinjic’s startlingly good Inigo Montoya. This man has clearly studied every nuance in Mandy Patinkin’s iconic performance His applause-earning deliveries of the famous “Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to DIE!” The fact that Reitman and Oswalt left the Los Angeles premiere of Young Adult to attend the live-read. Priorities! Cary Elwes letting loose with a fey, trilling Humperdinck (and host Elvis Mitchell’s observance that Elwes may be the only actor who’s gotten to kill a character he’s played) Live-read MVP Nick Kroll’s spot-on Christopher Guest The delicious subtext between his Count Rugen and Elwes’s Humperdinck Not so much a highlight as a curious aside: Both Reiner and Savage pronounce the name Inigo with an emphasis on the first syllable — “in-igo” instead of “in-EE-go” - … and wouldn’t they know best? The full-on gnawing, face-licking kiss between Rudd and Kaling that closed out the live-read, reminiscent of this. And so it went. With every utterance of an iconic line, a fully new layer of performance and presentation danced, invisibly, in the air. It wasn’t just that every single person in the sold-out theater knew The Princess Bride by heart (well, with the apparent exception of cast member Collette Wolfe, whose monotone Valerie was the lone disappointment of the read), or that watching the cast perform it, with scenery shots from the film projected above the stage, formed a delicious new rendition, a swirl of image, sound, and cinematic memory beyond the limits of what a screen could convey. Because of the selection — a film celebrating the very art of storytelling, one whose very dialogue is sewn into the fabric of our collective pop consciousness — and the format, The Princess Bride took on unexpected, enchanting dimension. Consider, for example, the perfection of casting Reiner, the film’s original director, as the storyteller of a tale within a tale in a wholly new kind of telling. With Reitman as the new interpretation’s guide, an added layer joined an already layered concept, the uniqueness of which comes in combining theater with film: Boiled down to its essence, it was a live interpretation of filmed performances of a written script. But it’s also a story that already lives, vividly, in the minds of anyone who’s seen and loved the film, and that memory is inseparable from the experience. Watching Elwes relish in taunting Rudd’s new Westley with a knowing flourish — or even seeing Reiner beaming throughout the read, the one person who knows The Princess Bride better than anyone else — conjured a new kind of magic. A more appropriate ode to this ode to the art of storytelling would be, in effect, inconceivable. For tickets to next month’s TBA live-read, head to LACMA.

Top Moments: Virgins' Horrifying First Kiss and Mother's Big Twist

Virgin Diaries Our top moments of the week: 15. Worst Christmas Surprise: Andy is only asking for trouble on The Office when he invites his new girlfriend to the Christmas party at Dunder Mifflin where, in case you forgot, his ex-girlfriend still works. And you know what he gets in his stocking? Trouble. On the advice of an equally broken-hearted Robert California, Erin gets wasted at the party and winds up in a close hug (and maybe more?) with Robert, much to Andy's chagrin. What exactly were you expecting, Nard Dog? 14. Worst Break-Taking Moment: After not sleeping with anyone other than her boyfriend Spencer in more than six years, Jess is understandably worried that she won't be adventurous enough in the sack for her new guy, Paul (the equally adorkable Justin Long), on New Girl. Unfortunately, Jess goes from adventurous (see: bondage-like lingerie) to disturbing in five seconds flat when she lightly chokes Paul as they're making out. Remember, Jess, you can't have sex with him if he's dead. This isn't Clerks. 13. Saddest Blindsiding: Annie finally decides to test the romantic waters with Auggie on Covert Affairs, taking his hand and telling him that he's the only one she wants to talk to after coming back from Stockholm. The usually intuitive Auggie, however, totally misreads her and, after giving her his Corvette, drops a bombshell: He's going to Eritrea to pursue a relationship with Parker. Annie's heartbreak is compounded by the fact that Auggie, being blind, can't see her teary, crumpleface reaction. "I can literally hear you smiling," he tells her. 12. Sweetest Gift: What does Leslie Knope love most? The Parks Department, Pawnee and sweets. (Have you seen how much whipped cream she puts on her waffles?) So her Parks and Recreation team pulls together to get her two perfect gifts: a re-creation of the Parks Department made entirely of candy and an offer to run her campaign for City Council. Does this mean Leslie Knope 2012 lollipops are in our future? 11. Sealed with a Crash Award: Chuck and Blair fans, rejoice! Blair - finally - makes the decision we knew she would and chooses to be with Chuck on Gossip Girl. Too bad the paparazzi get wind that Blair is leaving her prince in the dust and chase her limo into a road block just as Blair and Chuck share a romantic kiss. The result? A fiery crash and an unknown fate for Chuck. It could be worse - Blair could have picked Dan. 10. Worst Temper Tantrum: Do not awake the beast! Sleeping beauty Kim Kardashian flips out on sister Khloe when she wakes her up to say goodbye on Kourtney and Kim Take NY. "[You're a] dumb, little, evil f---ing troll. You have no idea how much I hate you. You're disgusting," Kim texts Khloe. "[Kim thinks that] I'm spiteful, I'm jealous of her life," Khloe says. "It's crazy that she thinks that way, but also sad." Tell us about it - especially when Kim reveals the root of her frustration: Khloe has not been supportive of her relationship with and marriage to Kris Humphries. Uh, well, she wasn't wrong. Team Khloe! 9. Oh, Mother Award: After Grace briefly goes missing (aka "that time Grace got baptized without telling anyone and butt-dialed her mom 12 times") on The Good Wife, Alicia comes to the hard realization that she can no longer juggle being a good lawyer, a good single mother and a good girlfriend. Unfortunately, there's only title she can afford to shed, so Alicia breaks up with Will, telling him "I can't," as tears stream down her face. Will waited 15 years to get dumped like that? 8. Best New Mystery: On Homeland, everything seems to go according to Carrie and Saul's plan to take down Walker when Al Zahrani helps orchestrate a meeting in a public square. A man fitting Walker's description arrives, but Carrie's instincts immediately tell her something's wrong. It turns out that Walker has actually recruited a homeless lookalike to send in his place and before Carrie can do anything about it, Walker remotely detonates a bomb inside the man's briefcase. Carrie is injured, but she has bigger fish to fry: There's a mole in the CIA. Who is it? 7. Biggest Letdown: After revving up its fourth season to a breaking point, Sons of Anarchy goes out with a bit of a whimper. Like Hamlet, which Sons creator Kurt Sutter has cited as an inspiration, the show forces prince Jax to ask: "To kill or not to kill Clay?," the man who murdered Jax's father and ordered a hit on Jax's fiancée. Ultimately, the combination of a deus ex machina - Romeo is working with the CIA! - and the Irish Kings' unwillingness to deal with SAMCRO without Clay forces Jax to keep the old man around a while longer. Or as Hamlet might say, "To be... continued?" 6. Worst Drunken Hookup: Remember that one time in college when your mom came to visit and she embarrassed you in front of your friends? That's nothing compared to what Boardwalk Empire's Jimmy Darmody went through. Grieving after the murder of his wife Angela, Jimmy flashes-back to the beginnings of their relationship at Princeton. But even during those fledgling days of puppy love, Jimmy's mom literally came between the couple. While visiting Jimmy, Gillian gets so drunk she can barely stand. When Jimmy helps her undress, Gillian kisses her son and, thanks to his own intoxication, it doesn't stop there. No wonder the poor boy ran away to fight in the war! 5. Death Becomes Her Award: Poor Violet! First, Tate tries to force a suicide pact on her on American Horror Story. Then, when she wants no part of that, he decides it's an optimal time to reveal to her (and to us) that Violet is actually dead. Yup, she OD'd on those pills she took two weeks ago, and Tate has squirreled away her decomposing corpse - which is disgustingly teeming with flies - in the basement. Between this and Tate impregnating her mother, maybe Violet's better off dead? 4. Most Chilling Sequel: When Bree learns from Chuck that the investigation into Alejandro's disappearance is now officially under way on Desperate Housewives, she feels she has no one to turn to, so she rents a dingy motel room where she contemplates suicide. She sits alone at a table with a bottle of alcohol and a gun, and suddenly has a vision of Mary Alice sitting across from her. She tells Mary Alice that she is so unhappy and asks if she is happy after committing suicide. "I'm not unhappy," Mary Alice says cryptically before vaporizing, leaving Bree to make her choice. Don't do it, Bree! There's still more than half the final season left to go. 3. Big Girls, Please Don't Cry Award: The X Factor has already had several dramatic eliminations (see: Astro's face-off with Simon Cowell), but it was way worse when 13-year-old Rachel Crow gets the boot. She falls to the floor sobbing and screams "Mommy," for cripe's At least Rachel's reaction is more age-appropriate than that of judge Nicole Scherzinger, who takes the stage also sobbing, but is then so distraught that she says nothing when Steve Jones shoves the microphone in her face. Is that a cry for Rachel or a cry for attention, Nicole? We really can't tell the difference anymore. 2. Best Bait and Switch: So Robin wasn't pregnant after all on How I Met Your Mother. (Why didn't she just take a pregnancy test again?) In fact, she learns that she can never get pregnant, she tells her supposed future children, Ted-style. Wait, what? Though Robin has never wanted children, she becomes overwhelmed with sadness at the option being taken away, which leads you to believe that she must've adopted those kids, right? Nope! The kids are just a figment of her imagination, and she never became a mother. Is it a cheap stunt? Perhaps. But it's also an accurate portrayal of her infertility: She's not losing children; she loses the idea, the thought - the vision - of them. 1. Most Terrifying Kiss: We've all seen the infamous and unbearably awkward first kiss from Virgin Diaries by now, but what none of us were prepared for is the continual lip-lock/jaw workout between Ryan and Shanna at their wedding. "The kiss was, um, hard to explain," Ryan's mother offers charitably. Other have described it variously as "like a mama bird feeding her chick," "nursing-like," and "chew-y." Let's just hope that practice makes perfect for this charming young couple. What were your top moments?

NBC News President Defends Hiring Chelsea Clinton

On Nov. 17, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced that it was reopening the case of actress Natalie Wood's Nov. 19, 1981, death after 30 years.our editor recommendsHow Natalie Wood Seduced Her Way Into 'Rebel Without a Cause'Natalie Wood's Sister 'Frightened' of Death Investigation Outcome (Video)Natalie Wood 'Ear Witness' Says She Was Threatened Three Days After The Actress DiedChristopher Walken Hires Lawyer to Handle Natalie Wood Investigation (Exclusive)Christopher Walken Offered Natalie Wood Death Theory in Past InterviewNatalie Wood's Death: 10 Developments During Week 1 of the Reinvestigation Related Topics•Natalie Wood•Obituaries Investigators revealed that new information had been received and was the cause of the reinvestigation. The 43-year-old actress, whose death was ruled an accidental drowning at the time, disappeared from her yacht, Splendour, which was floating just off the coast of Southern California's Catalina Island. She was on board with husband Robert Wagner and Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken. PHOTOS: 12 of Hollywood's Most Mysterious Deaths As the case enters its third week,The Hollywood Reporter takes a look back at last week's new developments. 1. A new "ear witness" comes forward. Marilyn Wayne, who was moored 50 feet from Wood's Splendour the night she drowned, says she heard cries for help and three days later received a handwritten note warning her to keep quiet. Wayne said in a statement to the Sheriff's Department that she heard a woman's voice yelling, "'Help me, someone please help me, I'm drowning' we heard repeatedly. Alarmed, I called out to my son, who also heard the cries, and looked athis new digital watch: it was just minutes after 11:00 P.M." Wayne says she soon her a "man's voice slurred, and in aggravated tone, say something to the effect of, 'Oh, hold on,we're coming to get you,' and not long after, the cries for help subsided, but we heard the cries for upto 15 minutes." 2. Splendour captain passes polygraph test.Dennis Davern, whosaid he believes Wagner had something to do with the actress' deathand claimed to have heard Wood and her husband arguing on the boat after Walken went to bed (a story that conflicts with Wagner's account), takes a lie detector test and passes. ExaminerHoward Templeperforms the exam and says that the results of the polygraph "indicated he was telling the truth," reported ABC News."Davern made the statement that he stayed at the Wagner home ... [was] told not to talk ...Wagner paid for his therapy, and Davern could not leave the estate without bodyguards," Temple said. STORY: Natalie Wood's Death: 10 Developments During Week 1 of the Reinvestigation 3. Criminal experts outline a path for the case.Robert Wittman, former senior investigator for the FBI, tells THR the investigation will rely on improved forensic technology and a more skeptical re-examination of the evidence."You are looking at it from a different set of assumptions -- that something nefarious happened," he revealed, adding,"You are not looking to prove the theory that she fell in, you are looking to prove a homicide." 4. Former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman said the inquiry's next step could be to reclassify the case as a homicide."It's a mind-set of 'this person died at the hands of another.'" Last week, authorities said neither Walken,nor Wagner is considered a suspect, though, as THR first reported, Walken did hire an attorney. PHOTOS: Best Pictures of Natalie Wood 5. The Christopher Walken impersonator comments on the Associated Press mistaking him for the actor. Matt Sterne, who does his impression of the actor on the Washington, D.C.-based ESPN 980, while giving fantasy football advice, said: "Christopher Walken hasn't spoken about this in 30 years, do they really think he's calling into a D.C. sports show, to talk about Natalie Wood, and then, by the way, give fantasy football tips? It was absurd." The AP retracted its story, but not until it was widely picked up by news organizations."Let's be honest: I'm sure Julia Roberts does a better Christopher Walken than I do, and I'm embarrassed for the AP reporter," said Sterne. 6. Robert Wagner guest stars on NCIS as murder suspect. In the episode, which aired Nov. 22, Wagner played Anthony DiNozzo Sr., the father of Tony DiNozzo Jr. (Michael Weatherly). The show's -- perhaps inconveniently timed -- plot line follows Wagner's character, who is found in a car with a dead body in the trunk and no memory of the previous night. It wasn't the actor's first time on the show: He also played the role in NCIS' 150th episode in January 2010. PHOTOS: Hollywood's Biggest Deaths and Surprises 7. Lifeguard captain says he still believes Natalie Wood "could have been saved." Former county supervising rescue boat captain Roger Smith, who pulled Wood's body from the water in 1981, said he hopes the reopened investigation will provide answers as to why there was a time lapse before lifeguards were called."Based on the condition of her body when we pulled her from the water, I believe she survived for sometime in the water and was blown out to sea. She probably cried for help for hours," Smith said. "I've always believed she could have been saved. Her fingers were still pliable when she was pulled from the water, suggesting she had not been dead for hours." VIDEO: 5 of Natalie Wood's Most Memorable Roles 8. Wayne also claims to have received a threatening note days after Wood's death."I had a 'client box' designed for clients to drop off their messages through a slot in the front,"she says. "The boxes were opened in the back, labeled by broker name on each end. Three days after Natalie died, I found a scribbled message on a torn piece of paper in my box that read, 'If you value your life, keep quiet about what you know.' I immediately suspected it was related to Natalie Wood's death because that's all anyone had been talking about. I was disturbed and even told an attorney about the threat." 9. Wood's sister says she's "frightened" of the outcome of the investigation. Lana Wood appears on NBC's Today, where she tells Matt Lauer that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had alerted her the case was going to be in the spotlight again and that she was nervous about it: "I'm scared, I'm nervous, I'm happy, I think. I'm so ambivalent, it's almost like having to relive her death again." 10. Lana Wood reveals she believes Wagner might have been involved in the death. In her Today appearance, the actress' sister says she subscribes to the theory put forth by Davern. "Unfortunately I do," she says, adding: "I've never known him to lie. He certainly never has to me." She says Davern had contacted her frequently about the incident over the years. "He had called me many years ago very upset, crying, obviously had been drinking and unburdening himself. Little bits and pieces had always filtered over to me. There were so many things that were always bothering me."

25 Stuff You Did not Learn About 'Network'

Altogether now: "I am as mad as hell, and I am not likely to take this any longer!" This is the famous catchphrase uttered by "mad prophet from the airwaves" Howard Beale in 'Network,' a film that, within the 35 years since its release (on November 27, 1976), originates to appear much less like satire and a lot more like a blueprint. There is nothing too much-fetched any longer in film writer Paddy Chayefsky's vision of the TV industry where newscasting is becoming indistinguishable from entertainment, where developers will attempt virtually anything for rankings, where reality TV stars will attempt virtually almost anything to grab their fifteen minutes of fame, and in which the goals of worldwide corporatism override the very best interests from the condition and also the individual. Obviously, 'Network's critique is applicable towards the film industry too it's difficult to assume today a Hollywood studio that will greenlight a comedy that so brazenly bites the bites the hands that feeds it. On the other hand, in age Occupy Wall Street, there can be some resonance inside a movie where people nationwide start chanting Beale's bleat. Read onto find out about the horrifying on-air suicide that inspired the legendary movie, the behind-the-moments buzz on its unparalleled Oscar victories, and it is ties to contemporary stars Heath Ledger, Tim Robbins, and George Clooney. 1. The germ from the idea for 'Network' originated from the actual-existence on-air suicide of California, Fla. TV reporter Christine Chubbuck, who wiped out herself throughout an active newscast on This summer 15, 1974. Inside a Howard Beale-worthy pronouncement, Chubbuck had stated, "Consistent with Funnel 40's policy of getting the latest in bloodstream and guts, as well as in living color, you will see another first: attempted suicide," then shot herself behind the best ear. That same month, Paddy Chayefsky started writing 'Network.' 2. Chayefsky and director Sidney Lumet were well-poised to provide a hpv warts-and-all portrayal from the TV industry. Both had become their large career breaks throughout the golden chronilogical age of television within the nineteen fifties, when live dramas were common network fare. Chayefsky won the very first of his three screenwriting Academy awards for 1955's 'Marty,' based by himself 1953 TV drama script. Lumet's legendary pointing career, which spanned nearly six decades, also started in the beginning of TV and incorporated among the first news/entertainment hybrid cars, the CBS series 'You Exist,A by which historic occasions were re-passed as Walter Cronkite pretended to set of them. Lumet broke into movies with '12 Angry Men' (1957), which, like 'Marty,' would be a remake of the play written for TV. 3. Like Lumet, Chayefsky's real title was Sidney. "Paddy" would be a nickname the Jewish Chayefsky had acquired throughout his Military service in The Second World War, when he stated to become half-Irish to be able to request permission to go to Mass and get free from KP duty. 4. MGM and U . s . Artists decided to finance and distribute 'Network' within the wake of Chayefsky's suit from the latter over royalties from his previous movie, 1971 medical satire 'The Hospital,' the origin of his second screenwriting Oscar. 5. Finding an actress authoritative enough and unhinged enough to experience Howard Beale was tricky. Henry Fonda had the gravitas, but he apparently declined the role as "too hysterical." The filmmakers finally found their Beale within the courageous Peter Finch. 'Network' - "I am as Mad as Hell" Speech 6. As Max Schumacher, the television professional who's the film's problematic moral center, the filmmakers needed to decide between durable leading males Glenn Ford and William Holden. Holden's recent success in 'The Towering Inferno,' because the mogul behind the condemned skyscraper, expected the scales in the favor. 7. For Diana Christensen, the ambitious, charming, soulless programmer, the studio wanted Jane Fonda, but Chayefsky vetoed her while he could not agree together with her politics. Other stars around the wish list incorporated Candice Bergen, Jill Clayburgh, Diane Keaton, and Marsha Mason. Faye Dunaway finally agreed to accept role, conscious of alerts from Chayefsky and Lumet that she'd be permitted to impart no vulnerability towards the character. Dunaway's advisors, including her then-husband, J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf, feared she'd get typecast as cold and heartless women if she required the role. That did not happen, though she ended up getting typecast a couple of years later after her well known portrayal of Joan Crawford in 'Mommie Dearest,' and she or he joked that they wanted the negative people out there have been around to speak her from that certain. 8. To experience Louise, the wife Max cheats on when he's an affair with Diana, the filmmakers cast Beatrice Straight. The actress originated from a classic-money New England family (she would be a cousin of Gloria Vanderbilt), and she'd won a Tony in 1953 for taking part in Elizabeth Proctor in Arthur Miller's 'The Crucible,' a tricked-but-defiant wife role much less not the same as Louise Schumacher. Before her casting within the movie, she was most likely most widely known for lending her aristocratic bearing towards the role of Lynda Carter's regal mother on TV's 'Wonder Lady.' 9. Ned Beatty agreed to defend myself against the little but key role as corporate titan Arthur Jensen, whose lecture to Beale concerning the cosmic energy of worldwide companies is among the film's funniest and most frightening sequences. Years later, Beatty would remark that stars should not turn lower employment, stating his experience here. "I labored each day on 'Network' and also got an Oscar nomination for this," he apparently stated. 10. For research, Dunaway met with NBC daytime programming v . p . Lin Bolen to discover about as being a lady within the mostly male realm of the television executive suite. Along the way, she acquired a lot of Bolen's actions and speech tempos. Bolen stated she thought the performance was accurate so far as taking her idiosyncrasies but was appalled through the character's amorality. 11. An in-joke: Max and Diana make reference to their fling as "a many-splendored factor." Holden, obviously, have been the star of 1955's romantic drama 'Love Is really a Many-Splendored Factor.' 12. Diana stays a lot of the film determining Howard's fate, but she's so detached in the perception of Howard like a flesh-and-bloodstream person who there is no scene within the film where Dunaway really talks to Finch. 13. Throughout all Howard's different broadcasts, he seems to become addressing exactly the same studio audience. Search for a guy with lengthy hair along with a beard who's putting on a black vest he seems at each tape. 14. When 'Network' is made, Lumet's former 'You Are There' host Walter Cronkite took over as most reliable news anchor in the usa. His tie towards the film's satire from the news business: his daughter Kathy plays the kidnapped, Patty Hearst-like heiress. 15. Lengthy before his looks in 'The Terminator' and 'Aliens,' Lance Henriksen turned up in 'Network' in a tiny, uncredited role like a network attorney. 16. It's lengthy been stated that certain from the assassins in the finish from the movie is Tim Robbins, making his film debut. The uncredited actor certainly resembles the near future 'Bull Durham' star, but Robbins, who had been 17 when 'Network' is made, has asserted that he isn't within the film. 17. Upon its release in November 1976, 'Network' was an immediate hit with audiences in addition to experts. Designed for a reported $3.8 million, it made $23.7 million in The United States. 18. TV journalists were appalled incidentally 'Network' described their area and worried it would harm their image. One national news anchor was adamant there would not be "that type of showbiz method of this news because we can't allow it to happen." The one who stated that? Barbara Walters. 19. A heart condition was taking its toll on Finch throughout filming it had been the main reason he could barely complete two takes from the "I am mad as hell" speech. He resided lengthy enough to determine the completed film and also to result in the models marketing it. He made an appearance on 'The Tonight Show' the evening before he died of cardiac arrest, within the lobby from the Beverly Hillsides Hotel, on The month of january 14, 1977. He was six decades old. 20. 'Network' was nominated for 10 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Original Script, and finest Lead and Supporting performances for five of their stars (Holden, Dunaway, Finch, Beatty, and Straight). It lost Best Picture to 'Rocky,' however it did win four awards, for Chayefsky, Dunaway, Finch, and Straight. It had been the very first film since 1951's 'A Streetcar Named Desire' to win three from the four available acting trophies, and also the last movie to do this even today. 21. Finch wasn't the very first actor to become nominated to have an Academy Award after his dying, but he was the first one to win. He seemed to be the very first Australian to win Best Actor. At that time, many Oscar commentators saw his victory like a sympathy prize, not only for getting died, however for getting lost the award in 1971 to Gene Hackman. Hackman tried an awesome job playing macho cop Popeye Doyle in 'The French Connection,' but Finch tried groundbreaking act as a gay physician who took part in mainstream cinema's first guy-on-guy hug in 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday.' Many felt at that time the snub was because of Hollywood homophobia -- electric power charge that will echo 34 years later when fellow Aussie Heath Ledger unsuccessful to win the prize for 'Brokeback Mountain.' Ledger, too, would win a consolation prize Oscar for 'The Dark Knight' 3 years later -- and that he will be the first artist since Finch to win it after their own dying. 22. Straight was on the watch's screen for just 5 minutes and 40 seconds, making hers the least performance ever to win an Oscar. (Judi Dench came close together with her victory for 'Shakespeare in Love' 22 years later, for any role that lasts about eight minutes.) 23. Together with his 'Network' win, Chayefsky grew to become only film writer to possess won three Academy awards for scripts he authored by themself other threepeaters Francis Ford Coppola, Charles Brackett, and Billy Wilder all won their own together with other authors. 24. After winning her Oscar at 62, Straight ongoing to become active in movies and television for an additional fifteen years she died in 2001. Apart from 'Network,' she's best appreciated today on her role because the ghost-hunting researcher in 1982's 'Poltergeist.' Dunaway's career, obviously, hasn't become within the debacle which was 'Mommie Dearest,' though some fans think the 1981 film is her best product. Beatty has loved a lengthy career like a character actor. So has Robert Duvall, the only real principal cast member who did not have an Oscar jerk for 'Network,' who finally did win one for 1983's 'Tender Mercies' and it has continued to be sought after for 4 decades. Chayefsky completed yet another movie, 1980 sci-fi drama 'Altered States,' before he died of cancer almost 30 years ago. Holden ongoing to experience the key guy such movies as 'Damien: Omen II' and 'S.O.B.' before dying of injuries sustained inside a fall at his home almost 30 years ago. Lumet continued to be an active director of acclaimed films ('Prince from the City,' 'The Verdict,' 'Running on Empty,' 'Q&A,' 'Before the Demon Knows You are Dead') into his 80s but never won an aggressive Oscar, though he ended up getting an honorary Academy Award in 2005. He died in April 2011. 25. In 2005, 'Network' almost returned towards the very medium it so mercilessly satirized, like a made-for-TV movie that will have starred George Clooney (most probably in Holden's role). Inside a jerk to Chayefsky and Lumet's roots, it could have been done like a live drama. The concept was the creation of CBS network chief L'ensemble des Moonves, who had been apparently not insulted through the story's scathing indictment of their own industry. In the end, what had once appeared prophetic or absurd was now just business as always. [Photos: MGM/U . s .

Tim Price's second play draws us to the oddly beautiful North Pembrokeshire coast, despite the fact that it traffics heavily in symbols and maritime metaphors, departing a few lots of plot points dangling, it provides a winning tenderness. Identical twin brothers and sisters Iona (Anna Calder-Marshall) and Anest (Anna Carteret) live together in the farmhouse with the sea. Their father familiar with joke he will be a merman, as well as the script is punctuated with interludes of underwater fantasy.

Top Chef's Keith: I Understood Sarah and Lindsay Would Throw Me Underneath the Bus

Keith Rhodes Keith Rhodes grew to become the first one to pack his knives and go on the top Chef: Texas after he used flour tortillas in the enchilada rather than corn tortillas and, most unforgivably, bought pre-cooked shrimp for teammate Lindsay. The New York-based chef confesses the acquisition was "not the very best decision," but thinks things could've switched out in a different way had Lindsay and Sarah not tossed him underneath the bus and "stored allowing this to continue me" by harping concerning the shrimp at Judges' Table. Why did he purchase the shrimp to begin with? Continue reading. Is larger better? 5 things to understand about Top Chef: TexasWhy have you purchase the pre-cooked shrimp? Could it have been a real money problem?Keith: Well, one factor that I am really adamant about worrying thinks about the problem pressurized. Initially when i first seen individuals shrimp for the reason that situation, all I figured about was the timing problem of cooking the shrimp, peeling the shrimp, dealing with others. [Lindsay] had pointed out [doing] a cocktail, and so i thought these could be fine. Obviously they were not acceptable for her. I figured even when they did not work, us being "top chefs," we'd have the ability to overcome that. I'd no inkling they wouldn't work until we've got back and that i checked out the shrimp. These were all frozen and those around the display situation were not frozen. It had been some a jam there. I do not use pre-cooked shrimp like this during my restaurant, however it only agreed to be something I believed about quickly being within time constraint. We had Chris say, "Whatever, have it,Inch whenever you requested. Did nobody claim that they could be an awful idea?Keith: Whenever we were on the market, there have been multiple conversations. I was attempting to talk [towards the group] in Whole-foods. It had been almost pandemonium looking to get a consensus, so this is exactly why Chris was like, "Go for this. Let us just get what we have to get." I'm not sure how that got to become a recurring thorn because I wound up at Judges' Table for that flour tortilla. However the seed stored getting watered through the whole ordeal also it was ultimately something Sarah and Lindsay needed to select from.They are designed to judge yourself on the bathroom which were made too, with no one designed a shrimp dish. Keith: Exactly. It had been tossed available being an excuse. Again, we are chefs and we are designed to have the ability to overcome anything throughout service. You needed to have known that pre-cooked food probably wasn't likely to fly using the idol judges though.Keith: Well, Dakota used boxed cake mix. She'd immunity, but which was never an problem. It was the truth that it stored getting repeated. Whether it only agreed to be pointed out and left alone, maybe things would have been different. Sarah and Lindsay managed to get into an problem if he or she were built with a chance. I'm able to understand where they are originating from. We could've done another thing together. Like I stated, I do not rely on them, however they sell individuals shrimp for any reason. It wound up not the very best decision.Your team had terrible communication throughout. What went down there?Keith: Nobody required a leadership role once they had experience of Mexican food, like what Chuy did for his team. We spent considerable time returning and forth. There is very little positive, creative planning. One thing I stated was which i avoid well with many different B.S. I have been carrying this out for any very long time and our kitchen isn't full of drama and negative energy. To become encircled by negativity, I felt alone. It had been dark. I normally don't believe way. I had been just like a turtle I drawn my mind in and anxiously waited for that coast to become obvious. Which was most likely the most difficult moment using the shrimp deal. Nyesha and Ty-Lor were the only real ones to not make an problem from it. These were like, "You OK there?Inch They understood it had been disturbing me due to the way in which Lindsay was creating a huge deal. Top Chef heads to Texas for Season 9Sarah and Lindsay had knowledge about Mexican cuisine. Why did not either of these step-up or tell you to employ corn tortillas?Keith: I'm not sure. I believe these were more worried about themselves. To allow them to have that have and also to produce no input, I am talking about, place the dagger away. I view it immediately. Once Tom [Colicchio] stated that at Judges' Table, I simply needed to release. Even if I ignore it, it had been much more restrained it most likely should have been. Sarah cut the tortillas for me personally and never once did she say, "My home is Texas. Maybe you need to use corn tortillas." Not once! The shrimp wasn't an enormous deal, however with the flour tortillas, where I am from, that's the way we eat. ... Which was everything I understood. It had been different basically was managing a gamble onto it. Following the show, heading out and eating in various places, I saw this tortilla factor was summary because we'd go places and they'd have flour ones and where they'd have corn ones. Some had whitened cheese, some had yellow cheese. ... Then to possess Hugh [Acheson] call my enchilada a burrito was like, "What?" It had been pretty amusing. Could it have been as apparent for you because it ended up being to us that they are likely to throw you underneath the bus?Keith: Oh, I understood it whenever we were cooking. Tom came through. Sarah went in there and also the first factor she stated was, "Keith bought some frozen shrimp." I am like, "How will you plant that seed at this time?Inch I do not think like this every day. We problem-solve. I hold responsibility for everything. I purchased the shrimp. I made the enchiladas. Used to do things i stated I would do. We could've managed to move on in the shrimp. That demonstrated their bad character. It let guess what happens they are like inside. There have been a lot of tears and whining and all sorts of that. I am like, "You are a professional chef at among the best, well-known Italian restaurants in Chicago. Both of you have great reputations. How may you take part in the emotional-female card at this time, understanding how strong everyone are?" All of them be aware of respect I've for the ladies there, knowing that they need to be tough ladies to become executive chefs within this business.I believe lots of fans appreciated your calm attitude through the whole factor. How large a component has getting experienced prison and all sorts of that you simply experienced affected your point of view and attitude?Keith: That happened really in early stages during my existence. I had been being released of my teens. It had been a humbling experience. It trained me to value things and consider things. Getting two decades to build up that character is exactly what I provide now. I am always willing and give people another chance, so to be with these specific people, I understood potentially what might happen. I simply think it is a great time in the future and share my story and compete and perform the best I'm able to. I simply hope that a few of the other chefs plus some ambitious chefs might be inspired in what I introduced towards the table. It's not necessary to be considered a yeller in the kitchen area, tossing stuff or becoming a stereotypical chef. Finding yourself in prison wasn't a real catalyst within me getting a calm attitude. I lost my immediate family during my 20s. That humbled us a lot. I did not have money. I did not have charge cards. Then when you climb that ladder of success, you are taking this stuff in stride. I have truly been fortunate, not only with my career, when you are around attitudes - my spouse of 20-plus years, my children. ... My children are attending college. I've got a good story to talk about.

TV Group prexy Bruce Rosenblum against independent consultant Nancy Bradley Wiard.

Since the TV Academy chooses leaders via secret ballot, only individuals who are able to attend the meeting are permitted to join up a variety, the industry rule under California law.If selected, Rosenblum will be the greatest-ranking professional to mind the television Academy since Richard Frank, then chief of Wally Disney Galleries, within the mid-the nineteen nineties. Choosing Rosenblum -- a part of a 3-member office from the leader at Warner Bros. -- would counter a lengthy-standing complaint by some professionals the TV Academy lacks the participation of top industry leaders.By comparison, Wiard -- area of the daytime programming branch -- has lengthy been mixed up in TV Academy and presently serves in the No. 2 position, vice chairman. She spent near to 3 decades focusing on daytime drama "The Youthful and also the Restless" until 2003 and it has since been a completely independent producer and consultant.Victor will succeed John Shaffner, a production designer, who's at their maximum by getting offered consecutive two-year terms. The outcomes is going to be tabulated soon after the election Wednesday, stated chief operating officer Alan Perris, who noted the TV Academy is "a volunteer organization, run by chosen volunteers."Even though race appears like a mismatch in writing, the television Academy is unpredictable. In December 2009, incumbent Shaffner was opposed by new-media repetition John Seth Hurst, and also the voting two times led to a tie. After posting another ballot, many board people went home, forcing a run-off election three days later.The Television Academy's democratic structure levels the playing area, permitting below-the-line people a voice comparable to those of executives and talent. Still, the audience has sometimes been indicated by bickering and infighting, and what's sometimes referred to being an insular culture causes it to be challenging for more youthful people to obtain involved.Whomever ends up as chairman will face thorny issues regarding the Emmys. An early on make an effort to streamline the honours by tape some earlier within the day and reducing (or "time-shifting") their presence within the live telecast fizzled after strong opposition through the Hollywood talent guilds.It's anticipated the broadcast systems -- which restored their Emmy contract through 2018 captured -- requires less on-air honours to create the presentation more TV-friendly, that could make the Authors Guild and Company directors Guild to drag waivers for using clips throughout the telecast.In earlier interviews, Rosenblum and Wiard acknowledged the organization faces pressure to mess using the Emmy format but stated any changes could be produced in consultation using the governors.Additionally to chairman, the residents of countless other chosen posts is going to be selected Wednesday. Candidates in each and every race -- 14 in most -- is going to be provided three minutes each to provide an election pitch towards the governors just before the voting.Producer-executive Kevin Hamburger and PR professional Stacey Luchs-Struber are competing for vice chair, while stars repetition Conrad Bachmann, director John Moffitt and Frank Scherma from the advertisements peer group are up for second vice chair.Marcelino Ford (interactive) and Sheila Manning (advertisements) are running for secretary, with five candidates -- Charles Avrum Lenhoff (reps), Kate Linder (entertainers), Lee Burns (company directors), Susan Nessanbaum-Goldberg (production professionals) and Steven Venezia (seem) -- competing for treasurer.Joetta Di Bella is unopposed because the L.A.-area representative.

New Snow Whitened and also the Huntsman Art Indicates Alice-Like Tone

Set photos of the armored Christian Serratos and also the star’s own description of Snow Whitened and also the Huntsman’s bloody edge had me thinking this may be the greater transgressive of these two Snow Whitened projects within the works (another being Tarsem’s recently entitled Mirror, Mirror, starring Lily Collins and Armie Hammer). The very first official SWATH banner art, however, indicates something a little more kid-friendly, even Alice's adventures in wonderland-esque. Or am I reading through an excessive amount of in to the fantastical, Photoshopped plants and creatures swirling around Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, and also the disembodied mind of evil full Charlize Theron? Judge on your own: It’s quite a bit of banner art clearly trying to share the planet-building of the fantasy world with scope and sharp things. The 3 gamers — Stewart’s fight-ready Snow Whitened, Hemsworth’s axe-carrying Huntsman, Theron’s wicked witch of the full — are ready for war. They’re also all searching askance in various directions. “There’s a lot to determine here,” their steely looks scream. “Just wait til you receive a load of the items I’m/he’s/she’s searching in excess of there!” (Click for hi-res image) Match up against Disney’s tableau art for Alice's adventures in wonderland: The Alice commonalities aren’t surprising since producer Joe Roth also made the Tim Burton blockbuster at Disney, as well as since Alice designed a garbage-fortune serving the more youthful fantasy demographic (that also overlaps with Stewart’s Twilight demo). Should’ve seen next, but it seems sensible nevertheless. The SWATH synopsis, thanks to Universal: Within the epic action-adventure Snow Whitened and also the Huntsman, Christian Serratos (Twilight) plays alone within the land more proper compared to evil full (Oscar champion Charlize Theron) to destroy her. But exactly what the wicked ruler never imagined would be that the youthful lady threatening her reign continues to be learning the skill of war having a huntsman (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) sent to kill her. Mike Claflin (Pirates from the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides) joins the cast because the prince lengthy enchanted by Snow Whitened’s beauty and energy.The breathtaking new vision from the legendary tale comes from Joe Roth, producer of Alice's adventures in wonderland, producer Mike Mercer (The Sixth Sense) and acclaimed commercial director and condition-of-the-art visualist Rupert Sanders. Snow Whitened and also the Huntsman will his theaters June 1, 2012.

Taymor Sues 'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' for Infringing Her Creative Input

Julie Taymor has filed a blockbuster lawsuit in NY that claims that "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark," the most expensive production in Broadway history, has violated her rights by continuing to use her work without compensation.Taymor, an Academy Award-nominated director, was let go from the musical earlier this year, before it officially opened, due to artistic differences. The show suffered from poor early reviews and high-profile injuries to cast, but it has been a success at the box office, showing to near-capacity crowds since it first premiered in November 2010.After Taymor was let go, she filed an arbitration claim against producers, saying she was owed more than $500,000 in royalties. An arbitration hearing was held earlier this month, and the outcome isn't known.But Taymor is taking a new tact in an effort to claim profits from the show, alleging in her complaint that producers have continued to make use of her creative contributions. Producer Michael Cohl's 8 Legged Productions is the defendant."Ms. Taymor regrets that the producers' actions have left her no choice but to resort to legal recourse to protect her rights," says her attorney, Charles Spada atLankler Siffert & Wohl."Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark" is a rock musical that credits its music and lyrics to U2's Bono and The Edge and its book to Taymor, Glen Berger and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. It not only set the record for Broadway's most expensive production ever at more than a reported $75 million, but also the longest preview period (182 performances before it officially opened). Producers needed the long gestation period to figure out the story as well as complicated flying stunts that left several cast members injured.In March 2011, Taymor left the production.Taymor's legal move isn't unprecedented.In the mid-1990s, director Joe Mantello managed to get the U.S. Copyright Office to accept his application of an annotated script of "Love! Valour! Compassion!" a Terrence McNally play. When a Florida-based regional production company attempted to put on a production without acknowledging and paying Mantello, he successfully sued.Other directors haven't found as much luck.For instance, in 2004, producers of an off-Broadway production of "Tam Lin" were sued by a fired director, Edward Einhorn, who argued that his work in developing the play entitled him to part of the copyright. A judge released a preliminary ruling that raised doubts about this claim, saying he saw no evidence of a copyrightable annotated script at the time of Einhorn's firing. Before a judge made a definitive judgement, the two sides settled for $800.The Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers have long supported the contention that directors and possibly choreographers deserve a piece of copyright and the ability to participate in the income generated by productions. The issue hasn't been settled, but the forthcoming Taymor case could be an opportunity for the theatrical community to discuss authorship for copyright purposes. The Hollywood Reporter

Sunset 5 To Close As Laemmle Exits; Sundance Cinemas To Reopen After Revamp

Robert Redford’s Sundance Cinemas will take over the Sunset 5 complex in West Hollywood after Laemmle Theatres was unable to come to terms with the landlord on a new lease. The theater will close at the end of November, the LA Times reported, and it will reopen in late spring after undergoing renovations.The venue had been a staple of indie and art movies for 20 years, but the glossylure of Pacific’s Grove, Arclight Hollywood and the Landmark in West L.A. increasingly siphoned specialized fare away from the Sunset 5.Laemmle president Greg Laemmle conceded “we started seeing fewer and fewer” indie and arty hits because “distributors were under pressure to get into the Arclight. It will be interesting to see what Sundance does with its entrance into the Los Angeles market. Its other venues in San Francisco, Houston and Madison, Wisconsin, present alternative programming, lectures and special screening series that tie in with the Sundance Film Festival and related activities. Sony Pictures Classics’ Tom Bernard lamented the departure of Laemmle as “the end of the era. All of our movies eventually went through the Sunset” but suggested that”a face lift on the theater may attract new audiences and make it a place to be.”

ABC"Revenge" ABC is making its first moves during this television season, picking up the back nine on two Wednesday night offerings: Revenge and Suburgatory. In addition, the network has ordered six additional scripts for sophomore comedy Happy Endings. Revenge, loosely based on the Alexandre Dumas book The Count of Monte Cristo, has been given a full 22-episode season. The series, led by Emily Van Camp and Madeleine Stowe, has been holding firm in its 10 p.m. slot, averaging 8.8 million total viewers and a 2.8 rating among adults 18-49 in its first three weeks. Its most recent episode won the hour in the demo, topping veteran CBS procedural CSI in the process. PHOTOS: Fall TV Death Watch: Which New Shows Will Be Axed? Revenge, developed by Mike Kelley, centers on Emily Thorne (Van Camp), or Amanda Clarke, who returns to the Hamptons to take revenge on the people who destroyed her family, including her father's (James Tupper) death. Gabriel Mann, Henry Czerny, Ashley Madekwe, Josh Bowman, Nick Wechsler, Connor Paolo and Christa B. Allen round out the ensemble cast. The full order is expected for Suburgatory, as the rookie series notched a strong ratings performance in its debut on Sept. 28, averaging 9.8 million total viewers and a 3.3 rating among adults 18-49, serving as a strong lead-in to Modern Family. PHOTOS: ABC's New Fall TV Shows Starring Jane Levy, Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines, Subugatory revolves around a single father (Sisto) and teenage daughter (Levy) who move to the suburbs after living in NY City.
