Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man ushered in an age of popularity for comic book movies that had never been seen on screen before. Helmed by Sam Raimi, with Kirsten Dunst playing Mary Jane Watson opposite Maguire’s Peter Parker, the film was an unprecedented hit. The film’s success meant that the studio immediately greenlit a sequel.
The leading actors returned to reprise their roles, and it also saw Maguire’s demand rise, since it had boosted his fame. Unsurprisingly, there was a pretty significant difference in the salaries of both protagonists. It is not far-fetched to believe he also pocketed a hefty check to star in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

It’s been a long two years since audiences ran away from the American remake of “Force Majeure” like it was a killer avalanche cascading towards their families, so perhaps Ruben Östlund — the rascally Swedish filmmaker whose other features include “Play” and 2017’s Cannes-winning, take-no-prisoners caricature of the art world, “The Square” — has just forgotten that other people are perfectly capable of making toothless, watered-down versions of Ruben Östlund movies. He may have dug that particular hole, but he’s under no obligation to fill it himself.
Alas, the much-anticipated “Triangle of Sadness” — which features Woody Harrelson as the alcoholic communist captain of an 100-meter superyacht once owned by Aristotle Onassis, and which ought to be Östlund’s most hostile and ambitious comedy yet — is .

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.
This is the third episode of what we are calling The Final Frame. Here we will dissect the final film of a great, well-respected filmmaker, wrapped in the context of said filmmaker’s entire career. Our subject today: the recently departed Peter Bogdanovich. His final film: She’s Funny That Way, starring Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Kathryn Hahn, Rhys Ifans, Jennifer Aniston, Will Forte, Austin Pendleton, George Morfogen, Richard Lewis, and Cybill Shepherd. But wait! That’s only half-true! Before the half-hearted release of She’s Funny That Way, there was another version of the film. Its title? Squirrels to the Nuts. This is the cut that Bogdanovich wanted the world to see. Until the studio made him change it.

Chicago – The work of filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich – who passed away on January 6th, 2022, at age 82 – was inspired by the cinematic language of American movies, which he interpreted through his many classic films. His most fertile and imaginative period were three movies from 1971 through 1973, which began with his masterpiece, “The Last Picture Show.”
Bogdanovich’s personal life was also the stuff of legend, and contributed to to a less inspired creative period after 1973, but he made a major comeback with “Mask” (1985) and didn’t stop there … he directed six more narrative feature films thereafter, two documentaries and seven TV movies.

The writer-director’s death at 82 leaves behind a legacy of impactful films, from The Last Picture Show to Mask, and also a deep love of the craft
Peter Bogdanovich: a life in picturesPeter Bogdanovich, acclaimed writer-director, dies at 82
Peter Bogdanovich was the blazing night-sky comet of the New Hollywood generation whose trajectory got knocked off course a little, by personal tragedy and the contingencies of show business, but kept hurtling onwards with brilliant work and passionate cinephilia to the very end. His first four hits, Targets (1968), The Last Picture Show (1971), What’s Up Doc? (1972) and Paper Moon (1973) were somehow both thrillingly and authentically modern and yet also instantly belonged to the classic pantheon. With the touch of restless young genius, he seemed to reinvent pulp crime, the western, the road movie and the screwball comedy – in short order.

Peter Bogdanovich, the celebrated, Oscar-nominated filmmaker behind classics like The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon, as well as a frequent actor, died Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He was 82. Bogdanovich’s daughter, Antonia Bogdanovich, confirmed his death, saying the director died of natural causes.
Bogdanovich began his career as a film critic and reporter before meeting producer Roger Corman, who’d been so impressed with some of his work that he enlisted him to help out on some of his films. Despite this ostensibly unconventional path into the film industry,...

He was 82. Family members, who were by his side, said paramedics were unable to revive him.
His daughter, writer-director Antonia Bogdanovich, said of her father: “He never stopped working, and film was his life and he loved his family. He taught me a lot.”

Rick Aiello, actor and son of Oscar nominee Danny Aiello, died of pancreatic cancer on Monday at a hospital in Warwick, N.Y., his niece Sydney Fingerhut told Variety. He was 65.
Fingerhut remembers him as a great uncle who was close to all his nieces and nephews, and a “strong guy.”
With more than 60 acting credits, Aiello followed in his father’s footsteps, appearing alongside him in Spike Lee’s 1989 classic “Do the Right Thing.” His father earned an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Salvatore “Sal” Fragione and Aiello played Officer Long, a role he’d reprise a couple years later in Lee’s “Jungle Fever.”
Aiello also starred in films, including Christian Maelen’s “Remedy” and George Gallo’s “29th Street,” and toplined the TV series “Dellaventura” and the movie “A Brooklyn State of Mind” opposite his dad. As a character actor, Aiello had roles in shows such as “The Sopranos,...

A gorgeous period piece about great movie stars in decline. Kevin Kline as Errol Flynn. Susan Sarandon in a stunning performance. References to one of my favorite novels, Lolita.
So why did The Last of Robin Hood leave me completely cold and even slightly disgusted?
This story about Flynn's last days and his relationship with Beverly Aadland, whom he met when she was 15, feels pointless and even occasionally dull. Perhaps it's meant to be another installment in a series of Realistic Portrayals of Stories from Hollywood Babylon, along with The Cat's Meow ... but that movie had style, humor and character depth that this movie lacks. Filmmakers Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland portrayed teenage characters much more successfully in their previous feature, Quinceanera.

It's been over a decade since Peter Bogdanovich directed a feature film. Since "The Cat's Meow" in 2001, the filmmaker has helmed an episode of "The Sopranos," the TV sports drama "Hustle" and the documentary "Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers: Runnin' Down A Dream." Now, he's returned with a full length effort, "She's Funny That's Way" (formerly known as "Squirrel To The Nuts"). Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson provided financial support for the film, and the cast includes Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Jennifer Aniston, Kathryn Hahn, Tatum O'Neal, Rhys Ifans, Will Forte and Lucy Punch. It's a classic screwball yarn about a married Broadway producer (Wilson) who tries to convince a call-girl (Poots) to change her life. As Bogdanovich told us last year, he's kicked this screenplay around for a good long while. "We originally wrote the script back in 1998 around a difficult time in our lives...

Rhys Ifans and Lucy Punch are two major new additions to the cast of Peter Bogdanovich's Squirrels to the Nuts . The Hollywood Reporter brings word that they'll join Jennifer Aniston, Will Forte, Kathryn Hahn, Jake Hoffman, George Morfogen, Ahna O.Reilly, Austin Pendleton, Cybil Sheppard and Owen Wilson in the director's first theatrical film since 2001's The Cat's Meow (and the first he's written since 1990's Texasville ). The film follows a New York prostitute who, after doing business with a Broadway director (Wilson), takes to the stage. Ifans can be seen coming up in Susanne Bier's period drama Serena while Punch, who recently starred on Fox's "Ben and Kate," is now filming the Rob Pearlstein comedy Someone Marry Barry .

In the 1970s, Peter Bogdanovich was in his prime, churning out engaging and celebrated cinema like bleak drama The Last Picture Show and con man comedy Paper Moon. Lately Bogdanovich has been working more often as an actor and professor than as a director. But finally, after a 12 year sabbatical from narrative film, Bogdanovich is prepping his follow-up to the 2001 historical conspiracy comedy The Cat's Meow. Formerly known as Squirrel to Nuts, this new comedy called She's Funny That Way stars Owen Wilson as a married Broadway producer whose head is turned by a prostitute turned aspiring actress, whom he decides to help in her newly minted career. THR reports Jennifer Aniston has just joined the cast that already includes Jason Schwartzman, Cybill Shepherd, Eugene Levy, Kathryn Hahn and Brie Larson. As 21 Jump Street's Larson was among the earliest cast, I'm suspecting she'll play the aforementioned female lead. For her...

Jennifer Aniston has joined the cast of She's Funny That Way, Peter Bogdanovich's first feature since 2001's The Cat's Meow. (The movie was previously known as Squirrel to the Nuts, which is a much better title.) She'll play a therapist whose mother is in rehab opposite her Marley and Me co-star Owen Wilson, who will portray a Broadway director trying to launch the acting career of a former prostitute. Filling out the She's Funny That Way cast are awkward American Pie dad Eugene Levy, Jason Schwartzman (a favorite of producer Wes Anderson), the amazingly funny Kathryn Hahn, and the one and only Cybill Shepherd.

With Wes Anderson and Noam Baumbach producing, and a top drawer cast coming together including names like Owen Wilson, Olivia Wilde, Brie Larson and Jason Schwartzmann, Peter Bogdanovich is set for a nice comeback with the upcoming screwball comedy "Squirrel To The Nuts." While that's cooking, though, the writer-director evidently has another project in the works that's a little more serious and will reunite him with a former collaborator.
Bogdanovich's absence from the silver screen since 2001's "The Cat's Meow" saw him tackle a few projects on television which included the Pete Rose telepic "Hustle" starring Tom Sizemore and, despite critical indifference to that feature, the actor evidently impressed Bogdanovich enough to earn a re-teaming on upcoming addiction drama, "John Ledger."
Even with "Squirrel To The Nuts" front and center, this latest project sounds a little way off as the "Paper Moon" and "The Last Picture Show" writer-director is currently...

Peter Bogdonovich hasn't directed a theatrical film since 2001's The Cat's Meow and hasn't written one since 1990's Texasville . That's about to change, however, as Variety reports that Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach are teaming to produce the legendary filmmaker's next, Squirrels to the Nuts . What's more, the project has already signed Brie Larson, Owen Wilson and Olivia Wilde for leading roles. Larson will play a New York prostitute who, after doing business with a Broadway director (Wilson), takes to the stage. Wilde, meanwhile, will play a therapist dealing with her own mother's alcoholism. Larson recently appeared in 21 Jump Street while Wilson could be seen last year in The Big Year , Midnight in Paris and Cars 2 with Wilde starring in Cowboys & Aliens ,...

Few genres of film inspire more personal responses than the romantic comedy. Given how much of our lives is spent on love and romance (falling into it, falling out of it, chasing it, giving up on it), it's no surprise that the rom-com has remained one of the most popular formulas since the dawn of cinema, and while the genre has undisputed classics, you can end up cherishing certain films purely because of their connection to your own life. They can help pull you out of a post break-up tailspin, they can comfort you through unrequited love, and, if a film hits you at the height of your passion for someone, they can end up associated forever, even blinding you to the movie's flaws -- seeing "Elizabethtown" in the midst of first love left this writer swooning after exiting the theater (thankfully, a subsequent rewatch put me straight as to how terrible it is.

Kirsten Dunst/Camille On the Road poster If this isn't an all-out smile, I don't know what is. Those sparkling white teeth and healthy-looking gums belong to Kirsten Dunst. What a world! What a life! What a dentist!. I'm assuming Dunst's is the last On the Road "character" poster we're adding, as every major On the Road character has already gotten his/her poster. Dunst's actually came out before the ones for the film's three leads, Sam Riley, Garrett Hedlund, and Kristen Stewart. We're just late posting it. In On the Road, Dunst plays Camille, the wife of Dean Moriarty (Hedlund), who leaves her behind to go on the road with the much younger Marylou (Stewart). Camille is based on Carolyn Cassady, the first wife of the sexually adventurous Neal Cassady (Moriarty in the novel/film). Sissy Spacek played Carolyn Cassady in John Byrum's Heart Beat, based on Cassady's 1976 book of memoirs,...

A good Chaplin impersonation is all about the details. This week's clips zoom in on five wannabe Charlies
It's not hard to see why people like impersonating Charlie Chaplin. Who wouldn't want to borrow that split-second comic timing, the subtle wit, the mastery of the tiny gesture – a raised eyebrow, a slumped shoulder – that said everything while he said nothing at all?
Chaplin was a global celebrity before the age of mass media (though it has been reported he once came third in a Charlie Chaplin lookalike competition, so unassuming was he). His screen persona, a well-meaning but clumsy vagrant with social aspirations – wasn't showy, or imitable in an obvious way. This makes impersonating Chaplin tricky, because charisma, wit and vulnerability can't be thrown on like a tatty bowler hat.
Here's five Chaplain copycats giving it their best, and doing their damnedest to make a right Charlie of themselves:

of All Good Things.It might sound silly to say, but seeing her in the flesh is something of a shock. Kirsten Dunst has been in the movies for many years, and she's made such indelible mark in them, whether as a child vampire, an unknowable teen dream, a disciplined cheerleader, a superhero's better half and so on; one half expects her to flicker when one meets her,as if she's being projected still. But there she was earlier this month at a New York City luncheon honoring her heartbreaking work in All Good Things. Her image did not fade or dissolve but remained steady in medium shot. She ate, she sipped, she walked around the room talking with reporters, friends and peers.
There was, however, a close-up. We shook hands and exchanged a few pleasantries. Then she was whisked off, not by a sharp edit,...

Here's some worthwhile reading today: a top ten list from Tom Shone. It's a performance list rather than a movie list and it's crowned by Jeremy Renner's dangerous ex-con in The Town. Shone goes so far as to compare Renner's gift to Steve McQueen's which is an interesting comparision but begs the question: Will Renner start getting major lead roles after his back to back successes with The Town and The Hurt Locker? Or has The Town - Hollywood not Boston - already fixated on him as a major supporting character actor? Either way, continued employment is assured which is a very good thing.
Shone prefaces his list claiming that he doesn't believe in "great acting" at least not the way it's commonly defined by the Oscars.
But then he goes on to name 10 performances half of which are in the hunt for nominations (ha!). I think he's...

Director Peter Bogdanovich.
Interviewing Peter Bogdanovich for the April 2002 issue of Venice Magazine was a thrill for me. Like Francis Coppola, John Frankenheimer, and William Friedkin before him, Bogdanovich was one of those filmmakers whose one-sheets hung on my bedroom walls growing up. Plus the fact that he himself had a renowned career as a film historian and interviewer of his own childhood heroes, such as John Ford, Howard Hawks, Orson Welles, and dozens of others, made our talk a real feast.
Not long after the article was printed, I received a letter with a New York City postmark. The note enclosed said simply: “Dear Alex, thanks for doing your homework so well, and thanks for the good vibes. All the best to you of love and luck, Peter Bogdanovich.”
Our chat remains one of my favorites during my 15 year tenure as a film writer. --A.S.

I've been waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and (well you get the picture) for things to turn around for Kirsten Dunst. I've loved Kiki long time. Somewhere in the middle of building a rep as one of our best young actresses the public began to turn wildly against her, spurred on by uncontrollable Gyllenhaalism (how dare she dump him?) and snowballing Mary Jane Watson fatigue.
So I'm totally happy to point you to this video "Akihabara Majokko Princess", a collaboration between artist Takashi Murakami and director McG in which Kiki sings "Turning Japanese". Pointed you towards paparazzi shots of this online awhile ago and have been waiting for the actual video to show up. It's a bit Nsfw since Murakami loves cartoon nudity.

It's been eons since we've gotten a Peter Bogdanovich tale. Aside from some TV work and his Tom Petty documentary in 2007, there hasn't been a big-screen feature since he dug into William Randolph Hearst's dirty laundry with The Cat's Meow in 2001. And before that, The Thing Called Love in 1993. No finishing Orson Welles' The Other Side of the Wind (he stated last month that he didn't think editing the film would ever be possible), and no code cracking. But finally, The Hollywood Reporter posts that he will write and direct an adaptation of Kurt Anderson's novel Turn of the Century.
If anything should reinvigorate the feature career of the man who helmed Paper Moon, The Last Picture Show, and Mask, and bring in a new audience, this is it. The book is a modern social satire oft-compared to Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities. Written in...

Peter Bogdanovich hasn't made a theatrical feature film since 2001's poorly received The Cat's Meow, but The Last Picture Show director has been out and about all this time, tantalizing his fans with the prospect of directing another feature at age 70. Now the fans can rejoice-- Variety is reporting that Bogdanovich will write and direct and adaptation of Kurt Andersen's novel Turn of the Century, a satiric look at New York City at the beginning of the new millennium. Compared to Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities, Turn of the Century is a take on the Manhattan elite set in a slightly alternative universe, in which people work for networks called Mbc and Bill Gates may or may not be dead. You can read an excerpt that was published in The New Yorker in 1999 at Andersen's official site. At this point the book is probably a period piece-- pre 9/11, pre-Bush,...

It may be a long time since Peter Bogdanovich made critically acclaimed masterpieces such as The Last Picture Show and Paper Moon but the director is still at it and has just acquired the rights to adapt Turn of the Century - a bestselling novel by Kurt Anderson.

Turn of the Century will be Bogdanovich's first outing directing a feature since The Cat's Meow way back in 2001.

Director Peter Bogdanovich, the '70s enfant terrible who's been absent from the director's chair since 2001's The Cat's Meow, is due to return to filmmaking with an adaptation of bestselling novel Turn of the Century, by Kurt Andersen. Don't hold your breath just yet, however, as it isn't even due to start shooting until early 2011.The novel is a social satire that tells the story of a Manhattan couple around the turn of this millenium. Both successful in their chosen fields - he produces a semi-reality show; she develops a video-game that can read your emotions - the couple are wealthy and send their three kids to private schools, but naturally all is not going to go smoothly for them. The book's been compared to Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities; we can only hope that this film adaptation goes rather better than that did.Bogdanovich is planning...

As awards season presses on, some of the smaller ceremonies are showing a predilection for edgy British comedy. Following Ricky Gervais' stint at the Golden Globes, the Independent Spirit Awards has announced that Eddie Izzard will be its master of ceremonies on March 5, according to The New York Times.
The 47-year-old Izzard — who has enjoyed international success since the mid-90s — is famous for his absurdist, interactive style of standup, which often sees him change his performances based on audience reactions. His commentary runs the gamut from Roman history to squirrels in makeup, from the Catholic church to vacuum noises, from the Heimlich maneuver to French instructional tapes. He even regularly works foreign languages into his English-speaking shows; he once recited a two-minute version of Speed in French.
Until recently, he performed in drag as a self-proclained "executive transvestite," but he has since transitioned into a more "traditional" appearance.

Eddie Izzard really is Charlie Chaplin - according to Hollywood starlet Jennifer Tilly. The two stars have just completed The Cat's Meow - a film centred on the love triangle between Chaplin, Marion Davies and William Randolph Hearst in the 1920s. And Tilly says that transvestite British comic Izzard is so convincing as the silent movie star, people will think Chaplin has returned from the dead. She explains, "He's so sexy and he's so perfect as Charlie. People who have seen it have said it's uncanny how he looks exactly like Charlie in the movie."...
