Noah Baumbach and Greta Gerwig — who first worked together on Greenberg — are back together again with Frances Ha, a black-and-white comedy about two best friends living in New York, trying—or not—to get their charming! awkward! endearing! klutzy! lives together. Directed by Baumbach (The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding) and co-written by Baumbach and Gerwig, who also stars, the movie was a hit on the festival circuit this past fall. A programming note from the Toronto Film Festival says the film, which explores friendship, ambition and failure, “perfectly captures the rhythms of an over-educated, underemployed generation more intimate with their friends than their lovers.”

Speaking of “over-educated and underemployed,” check out Girls’ Adam (Adam Driver) making an appearance in the trailer at 1:19. Watch below: READ FULL STORY »

Julianne Moore and Alexander Skarsgard in new 'What Maisie Knew' poster -- EXCLUSIVE

Kramer vs. Kramer continues to stand as one of the most memorable, heart-wrenching dramas about divorce and the battle for child custody. But way before the Dustin Hoffman/Meryl Streep-starrer, there was What Maisie Knew, a 1897 book by Henry James about a child shuffled back and forth between her two divorced parents every six months. That turn-of-the-century novel has now been updated for a modern retelling on the big screen, in a film starring Julianne Moore and Alexander Skarsgård.

EW has the exclusive poster for the movie that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. On the new one-sheet, Moore and Skarsgård peek in from the edges, while young actress Onata Aprile (Maisie) is front and center, boring her big eyes “Mona Lisa”-style into anyone who catches a glance of this striking poster — check it out below.

Twas a dark and stormy night: 'The Place Beyond the Pines' debuts new poster

by
Tags: , , , , , , ,

It’s hard for a movie poster to be anything but pretty when it features the faces of Eva Mendes, Ryan Gosling, and Bradley Cooper, but somehow, the new poster for The Place Beyond the Pines achieves an impressive-yet-appropriate level of gloominess (while still being pretty).

The Place Beyond the Pines, the next film from Blue Valentine director Derek Cianfrance, stars Ryan Gosling as a stunt rider who turns to a life of crime (specifically bank robbing) to provide for his baby mama, played by Eva Mendes. Meanwhile, Cooper and his blue eyes are lurking around every corner with his rookie-cop badge and a son of his own.

After debuting at the 2012 Toronto Film Festival, The Place Beyond the Pines is giving the rest of us a glimpse into its world with its latest poster, which features a very worried Mendes, a confused/angry Cooper and a determined Gosling on his way to the nearest bank. It’s a tale of fathers, sons and, from the looks of the poster, at least one dark and stormy night.

'The Place Beyond the Pines' trailer: Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper together at last

by
Tags: , , ,

Derek Cianfrance’s directorial follow up to 2010′s Blue Valentine features Ryan Gosling (again), but this time he’s not playing the ne’er do well young husband. Rather, he’s got a harder edge as a motorcycle trickster who must decide how to handle unexpected fatherhood… all while getting caught up in a complex crime drama. In the trailer below, we get a glimpse at Gosling’s character’s life, his love interest played by Eva Mendes, and the cops entangled in his case, played by Bradley Cooper and Ray Liotta.

Since former EW movies writer Dave Karger noted on the film’s Toronto Film Festival premiere that “This is the kind of movie that one should know nothing about before seeing,” we’ll leave you with the trailer and say no more.

New 'Silver Linings Playbook' trailer strikes a new tune -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , ,

Oscar-nominee Jennifer Lawrence features more prominently in the new trailer for The Silver Linings Playbook, no doubt a reaction to the movie’s stellar reception at the Toronto International Film Festival, where the Hunger Games star picked up some Oscar buzz.

We also get more of Bradley Cooper’s character’s anger issues, but what really seems to tie it all together is the Lumineers’ song “Ho Hey,” the same contagious tune you’ve heard on those Bing commercials.

Jay Baruchel is set to write a sequel to Goon, the ice hockey comedy he co-wrote with Evan Goldberg and starred in alongside Seann William Scott, Liev Schreiber, and Alison Pill. Released earlier this year, the original Goon was loosely based on the minor league adventures of real-life hockey “enforcer” Doug Smith.

In a series of tweets, Baruchel announced he will penn the script with Goon associate producer Jesse Chabot and that Goldberg would be involved as a producer. He also confirmed that filmmaker Michael Dowse, who oversaw the first, extremely foul-mouthed film, “is directing the motherf—er.”

You can check out the trailer for Goon below.

Along with Ben Affleck’s Argo (the first runner up for the People’s Choice Award) and J.A. Bayona’s The Impossible, Playbook emerges from the festival as a strong Oscar contender thanks to buzz from glowing reviews and enthusiastic audience responses.

Toronto Film Festival: Tommy Lee Jones strikes a pose as General MacArthur -- EXCLUSIVE

TOMMY-LEE-JONES.jpg

General Douglas MacArthur, polarizing World War II general who accepted Japan’s surrender, knew how to make an impression. When he fulfilled his promise to American troops and allies that he would eventually return to liberate the Philippines in 1944, he made sure that news cameras captured his moment of triumph — he dramatically made his way through the waves and on to the beach several times, just to make sure.

In Emperor, a new film that premieres tomorrow at the Toronto Film Festival, Tommy Lee Jones plays the conquering general as Americans troops arrive in Japan for post-war occupation and have to decide whether to treat the defeated nation’s figurehead as a war criminal. Jones doesn’t necessarily have the patrician bearing of MacArthur — or actors like Gregory Peck and Henry Fonda, who played the general in previous films — but he certainly mastered his supreme confidence. “I bear no real resemblance to MacArthur but when you put on the military uniform with lots of fruit salad on the front and smoke a corncob pipe — that’s the image that he cultivated and it became iconic,” said Jones.

In this exclusive clip, MacArthur prepares his men for battle — the intellectual and propaganda battle to win the peace after dropping two atomic bombs. READ FULL STORY »

Toronto Film Festival: 'The Master' towers, 'Cloud Atlas' wanders all around the galaxy, and other updates

Nothing else I’ve seen in my time at TIFF approaches the strange power of The Master. Paul Thomas Anderson’s unsettling meditation on the elements that shape a man’s nature is thorny and difficult and towering, with a great, almost frighteningly intense performance by Joaquin Phoenix. It’s yet another striking, consuming work of movie art from one of the most important filmmakers in action today. READ FULL STORY »

'A Late Quartet' trailer: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, and Christopher Walken make complicated music together

Tags: , , , , ,

No one strives to be second fiddle, but what happens to the people who find themselves stuck (in this case, literally) in that role? In A Late Quartet — premiering tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival — Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener, Christopher Walken, and Mark Ivanir (Schindler’s List, Big Miracle) play members of a famed symphonic foursome that is rocked when one member (Walken) announces an illness that will end his career.

The event forces Hoffman’s character, who’s perpetually played second violin in the group, to reassess his own goals and passions — both professionally, and personally with his wife (Keener). You can check out the first trailer for the film, the feature debut for co-writer-director Yaron Zilberman, below:  READ FULL STORY »
