How stunning is the poster for Jindabyne? I can't stop staring at it: Laura Linney, radiant and so clear-eyed, and Gabriel Byrne. God, Gabriel, how do you just become more devastatingly beautiful as you get older? The film opens in Australia next week. OutNow has some high-res photos. [imdb]
It cuts me to have to report this, but casting for Terry Gilliam's Good Omens - which he was hoping to shoot this winter - is not going as well as can be hoped. We all have Johnny Depp's popularity to blame. (Twitch)
Watch the first 24 minutes of Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly online. [imdb]
Podcast updates of interest include a 17-and-a-half minute interview with Jeremy Piven (Entourage); a 20-minute roundtable interview with Ian McShane about his role in Deadwood and Woody Allen's upcoming film Scoop [imdb]; and a short but interesting video podcast about the "Woman of Deadwood" - Alma, Martha, Trixie, Jane and Joanie - featuring the main cast and creator David Milch.
FULL QUICKTIME TRAILER for The Prestige!! I've just started reading the book on which it was based today, and while it's clear that the adaptation hasn't stuck precisely to the way Christopher Priest wrote the story, the mysterious, almost gothic tone of it definitely feels right. If only Nolan has been the one to direct The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, the things he could have done... My only complaints about the trailer are that I wished they hadn't used such a heavy, generic font, and also that it reveals just a bit too much. (Yeah yeah, there's no satisfying me, I'm sorry.)
You can read what Christopher Priest writes about the film here.
Rebecca Hall, I think, as Sarah Borden.
Christian Bale as Alfred Borden.
Piper Perabo. (Playing Angier's assistant? Wife? I can't find two websites that say the same thing.)
Angier (Jackman) and Olivia, the magician's assistant, played by Scarlett Johansson. (You know, I've just realised that this is the second time I've seen this.)
(Excuse the interruption: from Woody Allen's Scoop, which is released in the US on July 28. The Prestige will arrive a few months later, on October 27, 2006.)
Le Professeur de Magie.
Batman, 1891.
This scene looks so beautiful and creepy at the same time.
You think he just walked off the set of Aronofsky's The Fountain where he was playing a conquistador?
David Bowie (WTF!?) as the famous physicist and inventor, Nikola Tesla.
