Rogen, Hathaway, Jackman, Franco, Rudd Join the Academy
|
I have an interesting news article for you guys. Check it out:
Seth Rogen and James Franco have taken the pineapple express to Oscar credibility.
As if expanding the Best Picture nominee pool and potentially nixing the Best Song category wasn't enough to modernize the usually staid Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, surely its welcoming of cinema's preeminent bong jokesters are.
Rogen and Franco are one of 134 new artists and movie industry executives who have been extended invitations to join the Academy and, in doing so, secure voting rights for all future Oscar ceremonies beginning in 2010.
The smokin' Pineapple Express duo are joined by fellow Judd Apatow repertory players Michael Cera, Paul Rudd and Jane Lynch, along with Casey Affleck, Viola Davis, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Taraji P. Henson, James McAvoy, Tyler Perry, Danny Boyle, Emile Hirsch, Michelle Williams, Amy Ryan, Slumdog soundtracker A.R. Rahman, Peter Gabriel, Tom Cruise's producing partner-in-crime Paula Wagner, Milk man Dustin Lance Black and Mr. Oscar himself, Hugh Jackman.
"These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," AMPAS' head honcho Sid Ganis said in a statement. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks."
The new members, which keeps the Academy's voting membership just under 6,000, will be welcomed at an invitation-only reception in Beverly Hills this September.

"YOUR HIGHNESS" CASTING NEWS
|
Isla Fisher is said to have signed up to appear in the forthcoming multi-million dollar film, Your Highness. The former Home and Away star agreed to appear in the film, which will be shot at the city’s Titanic Quarter movie sound stage in the former shipyard’s Paint Hall. She recently played the lead role in Confessions of a Shopaholic, based on the novels by Sophie Kinsella and because her career has taken off so dramatically, she is also reported to have had to put her wedding to comedy actor Sacha Baron Cohen on hold so she can take up the new role in Your Highness.
Universal Pictures is funding the comedy, described as a “tale of two spoiled and arrogant princes in a medieval fantasy setting”. James Franco, who starred in Spiderman, will play one of the princes. Danny McBride, who wrote the script with Ben Best, plays the other prince. The two princes must complete a quest to save the kingdom.

JAMES FRANCO'S STUDENT FILM
|
Hollywood heartthrob James Franco is a poet at heart. At least that's what he thought we'd think after watching his film adaptation of the heavily homoerotic poem, The Feast of Stephen by Anthony Hecht.
With such lines as "Mens sana (healthy mind) in men's sauna," the Milk actor gave the world another reason to (needlessly) question his sexuality. Filmmaker Franco directed his short film while at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. His Feast premiered at the 2009 CineVegas film festival and according to an early review in Movieline, Franco's black and white adaptation offers vivid imagery of "chests, thighs and asses" and adequately captures the poem's mixed senses of violence and ecstasy. Overall, "it's a tight, competent, attractive exercise," says the review.

JAMES RECORDS 'ON THE ROAD'
|
James Franco might have a little obsession with the romanticism of the 'Beat' generation. He is starring in Howl as prolific, controversial poet Allen Ginsberg, which is scheduled to be released in late 2010. In tandem, Franco also made audio recordings of the famous book, On the Road by Jack Kerouac. Howl will focus on the legendary poem written by Ginsberg that caused an uproar following its recitation at a San Francisco bookstore. This led to his 1957 obscenity trial due to the poem's graphic depiction of drug use and sexuality. Franco will play a young Ginsberg and he will appear with several big-name actors including Jeff Daniels, Mary-Louise Parker and Paul Rudd. On the Road is the tale of four men traveling across the country on a wild journey of self-discovery as they fight the repressive cultural norms of the 1940s. Franco's pitch-perfect read of an excerpt of the classic novel is featured in the summer issue of Lapham's Quarterly.

'SUPERBAD' MEET 'PINEAPPLE EXPRESS' SEQUEL?
|
While there have been some talks of a Superbad spin-off that would reunite Seth Rogen and Bill Hader as police officers Slater and Michaels, yesterday, on his Twitter page, actor Michael Cera wrote that he craved a Superbad sequel and has taken steps to get the project off the ground.
"Decided I'm gonna contact Jonah [Hill] and Jason [Bateman] tomorrow," Cera wrote on Twitter. "See what they think about doing a movie. Maybe, just an idea, but maybe Superbad 2. I contacted Jonah," Cera later added. "He thought it was a good idea for a Superbad 2. I will let you know what's going on with that in the next few days!"
Another idea that's been floated is to mix Superbad and Pineapple Express with the films' directors each helming half of the movie. "Somehow the kids get in trouble and we have to get them out of it," James Franco said previously. "And Seth plays characters in both movies, so somehow we'd have to kill one of them off."

JAMES TO STAR IN 'IN PRAISE OF SHADOWS'
|
What’s one way you can ensure a 4.0 at NYU’s directing program? Take a page out of James Franco’s script and take the lead role in your professor’s film. While I am kidding about such a move getting you good grades in film school, or that Franco would even need to do such a thing, at least the core of the story is true. According to Variety, Franco will be starring in the indie drama “In Praise of Shadows,” which will be directed by his NYU professor, Jay Anania.
“Shadows” is the story of a man named William Vincent (Franco), who returns to New York after four years in exile from the city. The journey that brings him home is strange and curious, and his goal is a simple and romantic one: he wants to save the woman he loves from a crime syndicate. Almost sounds like a tale from Franco’s “Spider-Man” universe, doesn’t it?
The film begins shooting on June 15, right before the young actor heads to Ireland for David Gordon Green’s “Your Highness,” and is being made on a shoestring budget of less than $10 million. Franco will also be co-producing the film under his Rabbit Bandini Productions banner.
I’ll stress again that I’m only joking about Franco’s grades. In fact, Anania is full of praise for his student. “I was immediately struck by his inventiveness and talent,” the professor said. Franco is currently doing double academic duty while pursuing his film career, studying film at NYU while working towards a Master’s degree in English at Columbia. Once he finishes playing medieval times with Danny McBride he’ll be back in New York for fall classes, turning in homework and living on caffeine. See, stars are just like us… well, except for hanging out with Danny McBride and Seth Rogen. None of us get to do that.
