David Lynch has become the youngest recipient of the lifetime achievement Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. 60-year-old Lynch is director of Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, and Inland Empire, which screened out of competition at Venice this year. There is information and reviews for Inland Empire at this David Lynch website, and GreenCine Daily also does a good roundup. Geoffrey Macnab (The Guardian) calls Inland Empire "inspired and incomprehensible by turns." Sounds like classic Lynch to me. [imdb]
Australia has submitted Ten Canoes as its Foreign Language entry to next year's Academy Awards. The film was shot entirely in an indigenous language. It's not the first time an English-speaking country has entered the category, of course. Canada won in 2004 for the French-language The Barbarian Invasions. (Guardian Unlimited Film) [imdb]
Fur trailer, now even more delicious than before in larger format Quicktime.
Update on The Sarah Connor Chronicles from its executive producer and writer, Josh Friedman (who, okay, has a blog). (CHUD)
Timothy Olyphant (Deadwood) joins Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick), Abbie Cornish (Candy), and Ryan Phillippe in Stop-Loss. Phillippe plays the main character, an American soldier who returns home to Texas but is called back to duty in Iraq through the military's "stop-loss" procedure. (Moviehole) [imdb]
