Переслать - Seth MacFarlane Wants YOU At The Oscars
Getting one's foot in the door in Hollywood can result in an immeasurable advantage when pursuing a film career, and what could be a better first step than appearing on-stage during the Academy Awards?
Oscars host Seth MacFarlane has teamed with MTVu for "The Oscar Experience College Search," a contest to find tomorrow's voices today and give them a step up in the industry.
"Part of the goal with this year's Oscars is to broaden the audience and get viewers young and old and the like," MacFarlane told MTV News. "This is part of the effort to bring in a younger crowd, get them invested, get them engaged in the culturally important event that is the Academy Awards."
All you'll have to do to enter is to head over to the contest Facebook page and upload a video answering this question: How will you contribute to the future of movies?
"If you're into comedy, get some laughs. If you're a dramatic filmmaker, try to say something profound or make somebody feel something," he said. "It depends on what your particular field of expertise is."
Entries are due January 19, 2013.
Переслать - 'Monsters University' Posters Promote Higher Learning, Scaring
Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan have got plenty of school spirit when it comes to the University of Fear.
A new poster for "Monsters University" shows the two monsters wearing letter jackets and hanging out with big smiles on their faces. Just like old "Monsters, Inc." times, except we already know that this movie tells the story of how Mike and Sully became friends. Kudos to Disney for having Mike stand on fantastically titled University of Fear text books like "Scareomics" and "I'm Scary, You're Scary."
It's nice that the style of this poster does hearken back to the "Monsters, Inc." days, since it's serving as a prequel to that film. "Monsters University" seems like it's shaping up to be a relatively different movie, but as long as its core remains the same as its predecessor we'll be happy.
"Monsters University" takes place before the events of "Monsters, Inc." and follows younger versions Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan as they start college at the University of Fear. Judging by what we've seen so far, Sulley and Mike didn't always get along so great.
As part of the movie's marketing campaign, Disney has launched a website for the University of Fear, and also revealed art that introduces new characters. "Monsters University" is due in theaters on June 21, 2013. It includes the voice talents of Billy Crystal, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi.

Переслать - Jack Black Promises To Take Down Oscar Competition, Threatens 'Creamy Balls'
Do not cross Jack Black. Those are simple instructions, but if you fail to heed them, you will find yourself with some creamy balls.
All right, let's back up.
At the Gotham Awards earlier this week, MTV News' Josh Horowitz made a crack about one of Jack Black's less successful films, "Gulliver's Travels." The joke was not taken lightly.
"You're a real bastard," Black said. "I know your whole game. I wish I had a cream pie to throw at your balls right now. It makes sense in any context. If I had a pie of cream, I'd shove it in your balls. Does anyone not understand what I'm saying? This guy deserves cream balls stat."
So, a little context might help.
Thankfully, Josh was able to turn the interview around and talk about the Oscar buzz around Black's performance in "Bernie," and when it comes to his competitors, the actor knows how things stand.
"Yeah, those guys are going down," Black said. "What did I ever do to Daniel Day? That's the more important question. Why is he trying to suck up all of my rocket sauce?"
The pair was able to make up, but there was still some lingering resentment by the end of it. "I forgive you," Black said, "but you still got a creamy ball coming up soon."
Переслать - Joss Whedon's 'Much Ado' Gets June 2013 Release Date
by Hannah Soo Park
If you're expecting Josh Whedon's next project to be a spectacle like "The Avengers" or "The Cabin in the Woods," you might be a little surprised to learn that the writer-director's upcoming movie is actually a seemingly subdued modern-day take on Shakespeare's comedy "Much Ado About Nothing."
And now, the indie Shakespeare adaptation has an official release date. Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions announced that the film, which premiered at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, will land in theaters on June 7, 2013.
It may have a script derived from Shakespeare's original text, but don't expect stuffy period costumes—this interpretation features a contemporary spin on the classic tale (it is Whedon, after all). With his wife in the producer's chair, the writer-director shot the film at his Santa Monica home during his free time off from filming "The Avengers." And get this: the cast includes a handful of Whedon-alums, including Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Nathan Fillion, Clark Gregg, Fran Kranz, Sean Maher, Jillian Morgese and Reed Diamond.
"Much Ado About Nothing" centers on two pairs of lovers: the quarreling couple Beatrice (Acker) and Benedick (Denisof), and the lovestruck duo Claudio (Kranz) and Hero (Morgese). According to its official summary, "matchmaking schemes are put into play and disguises are donned, loathing and love soon prove to be close cousins."
Of course a little box office competition is inevitable—the movie will open alongside "Monsters University" and "World War Z."
Переслать - 'Gangster Squad' Featurette Goes To The Next Level
by Hannah Soo Park
It's time to move on from the classic gangster flicks we've come to know and love. Because if there's one message we took away from the new "Gangster Squad" featurette, it's that the movie will be our generation's defining gangster film.
The video, which hit the web yesterday (via Apple), features a few never-before-seen scenes from the film, with the same gunplay and fedoras we've already seen in previous trailers. But what truly makes it fresh are the behind-the-scenes clips of cast and crew interviews, and on-set action footage.
Director Ruben Fleischer and a few members of the film's all-star cast, including Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie and Giovanni Ribisi, discuss their hopes that the period crime drama will join the ranks of "The Godfather," "The Untouchables," and other iconic gangster masterpieces. "It's taking gangster films to the next level," says Ribisi in an interview snippet. They make some pretty bold statements here, but judging from the impressive cuts we've seen so far, we're not ready to rule their claims out just yet.
Set in Los Angeles during the 1940s and 1950s, "Gangster Squad" follows real-life mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) as he evades the Los Angeles Police Department task force that's out to get him. The movie also stars Josh Brolin, Nick Nolte, Emma Stone, Mireille Enos, Michael Patrick and Michael Peña.
The movie's original summer 2012 release was pushed back following the Aurora shootings. A scene which involved mobsters opening fire on an audience in Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard was reshot.
"Gangster Squad" opens on January 11, 2013.
Переслать - Five Reasons To See 'Killing Them Softly'
In the five years since its release, "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford" has become an unlike but entirely deserving cult classic. Now Brad Pitt has reteamed with his former director, Andrew Dominik, to adapt George V. Higgins' 70s era novel "Cogan's Trade" as the 2008-set Recession drama "Killing Them Softly."
Here are your five reasons to see "Killing Them Softly."
Brad Pitt
Pitt has become what I like to call a "secret great actor." Rarely is he anything but superb—and "Killing Them Softly" is no exception—but what people think of most when it comes to Pitt is his celebrity status and someone who is more famous for being famous than for their talent. Here, like in "The Assassination of Jesse James," Pitt turns in standout work that deserves more consideration than we're inclined to give someone as well-known.It Wears Its Heart On Its Sleeve
The main complaint you'll see if you read reviews of "Killing Them Softly" is that the parallels to the 2008 financial collapse are too on-the-nose. While an unfortunately valid point, the movie's political agenda at times can feel refreshing. When was the last time a film starring one of Hollywood's biggest stars not only made you think about something going on right here, right now, but also had something to say about it? Andrew Dominik is clearly mad as hell, and his film leaves no doubt in the viewers mind to hint otherwise.The "Killing" Isn't That Soft
One sequence in particular will be worth discussing immediately after, but since it's a spoiler, I won't mention to details here. Let's just say a character eats it in way that's more beautiful than 99 percent of the scenes you'll see at the theater this year.George V. Higgins
What does work delightfully well is Dominik's evocation of the world of author George V. Higgins, the man behind the phenomenal "The Friends of Eddie Coyle." When Dominik sticks to the chatty conversations between low-lifes and filters them through his beautiful cinematic lens, what's left is the making of a modern classic. This is probably best realized in the conversations between Pitt's Jackie Cogan and Richard Jenkins' Driver. Both actors have such an uncanny ability to deliver smart and fresh dialogue in a way that makes the material seem even smarter and fresher.The Final Line
Just when you're beginning to question whether or not Dominik actually has something to say instead of just pointing out obvious parallels, Pitt delivers a devastating monologue, which seals the deal and makes for one explosive ending.Переслать - What Are You Seeing This Weekend?
After two weekends of battling it out, three weathered combatants will once again square off at the weekend box office.
With the only new release being "Killing Them Softly," the R-rated crime film from "Assassination of Jesse James" team Brad Pitt and director Andrew Dominik," the three holdover from the previous weeks are expected to dominate once again.
But what will you be seeing? Are you finally going to get around to seeing "Lincoln"? (Because you really should.) Or is "Skyfall" more your cup of tea? But of course, there's also "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2." Decisions, decisions.

Переслать - Robert Zemeckis Just Waiting For Go-Ahead On 'Roger Rabbit' Sequel
With directors like George Lucas and Steven Spielberg converting their previous films to 3-D, it's not difficult to imagine that something from Robert Zemeckis' career, like "Back to the Future" for example, would be next up for the jump to another dimension.
But when MTV News' Josh Horowitz put the question to the legendary director, Zemeckis said that he would only consider his 1988 comedy, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," for conversion.
"The only one is' Roger Rabbit,' because you could really pull the animation out as a separate element. It would be very spectacular 3-D," Zemeckis said. "As far as converting, the 'Back to the Future" films... I don't see the point in that. But they did a test on 'Roger' back in 2006, somewhere around then, and it looks really great."
Speaking of Roger, there has long been talk of a sequel being in the works, and Zemeckis confirmed that while he's happy with the script, all that's left is to wait for Disney.
"I'm happy with the script. It's very good. It's written by the original writers, and it's good," he said. "[But Disney] is still thinking about it. If I were to do the sequel, it would be done just like the first one. It would look the same way, but we would present it in 3-D in its release. I would do all of the animation hand-drawn; 2-D, but using 3-D tools. It wouldn't be like Pixar 3-D. It wouldn't look like that."
But times have changed since the cartoon crossover. Pixar characters may have taken over animation, but they're staying out of any potential "Roger Rabbit" sequel.
"No, this would again be another period movie," he said. "That's all I can say!"
