Rapper Andre Benjamin worked obsessively on his startling portrayal of Jimi Hendrix in the new film Jimi: All Is By My Side, and he already has ideas about a potential biopic for his group Outkast. "It would be great to make an Outkast movie right now, but instead of really serious, make it a full comedy — like Kevin Hart would play Big Boi," he said of his rapping partner last night. And as himself? "We should cast somebody stupid — like Leonardo [DiCaprio]."

Lifetime has given Renée Zellweger‘s drama project Cinnamon Girl a pilot order. The period drama set against the backdrop of the Los Angeles music and movie scenes of the late 1960s/early 1970s was put on fast-track development by Lifetime in October when president Nancy Dubuc called it “a game changer” for the network. Oscar winner Zellweger co-created Cinnamon Girl with Anthony Tambakis (Warrior). The drama tells the story of four coming-of-age girls — Cassie, Lola, Penny and Lou — and explores their lives at the crossroads of the era’s political, artistic, social and sexual rebellions. The genesis of the idea is a combination of Zellweger’s real-life journey from small-town Texas to Hollywood stardom and Tambakis’ lifelong fascination with the Laurel Canyon music scene and the New Hollywood, auteur-driven era that began in the late ’60s. Zellweger and Tambakis will executive produce Cinnamon Girl with Gavin O’Connor, who...

The late long-distance runner Steve Prefontaine liked to take the lead early, set a torrid pace and grind his competition into the ground. Fittingly, this fast-paced Warner Bros. film from Cruise/Wagner Prods. takes off fast and finishes with a high, winning kick.
It's a brainy bio about a complex sports figure whose determination and gutsiness transcended his record-setting runs on the track. With a mesmeric performance by Billy Crudup as the talented but enigmatic Prefontaine, this film will set a steady pace at the boxoffice; bolstered by healthy word-of-mouth, it should have a lengthy run.
Winning wasn't everything for Prefontaine; it was how you ran the race. Admittedly, finishing first was a given if he ran according to his philosophy. Resting back in the pack of distance runners and letting a front-runner absorb the wind and create an easy draft for the follower was not what Prefontaine considered an honorable way to run. For him, running was about guts: The runner who absorbs the draft and runs out front was the deserved champion, not -- as Prefontaine maintained -- some slacker who lets the front-runner do the work for him and then steals the race in the last 200 yards.
Not surprisingly, Prefontaine's track coach at the University of Oregon, Bill Bowerman (Donald Sutherland), did not share this philosophy. He considered the headstrong Prefontaine's notions not only ill-founded but a handicap that would thwart him when he moved into much tougher international competition, namely the Olympics, and against such legendary long-distance men as Finland's Lasse Viren.
While running was not about winning for Prefontaine, running is not necessarily just about sports for the filmmakers. In Robert Towne and Kenny Moore's supple script, we see that running is an existential endeavor. As Bowerman preaches to his charges at the beginning of every track season, "If you can find meaning in the absurd practice of running, you can find meaning in this other absurd pastime, life." As such, this "sports" movie's real strength and moves are as much off the track as on it. Although the sports world is the subculture setting for the film, the narrative embraces ideas and presents philosophies of life that are often more associated with art house-type, static endeavors. In short, this is a jock movie with a very high IQ.
Set in the turbulent early 1970s campus rebellion, "Without Limits" is also a canny depiction of a nation in painful, adolescent-type years of change and growth. Clearly, Prefontaine was a young man who not only epitomized the anti-establishment thinking of the times but was, in his heady way, someone who simply did not run with the pack -- an individual.
Prefontaine's both endearing and aggravating tenacity is superbly captured by Crudup. It's a sinewy, lean performance that bulges with a sharp mix of contradiction and inspiration. As Prefontaine's mentor/tormentor coach, Sutherland's wily portrayal brims with wisdom and a wonderful hardheadedness, not surprisingly, coach and runner clashed often because they both possessed the same headstrong natures; both were spirits who ran against the grain of popular thought. (A happy side story in this film is that the flinty coach was always crafting lighter track shoes for his runners in his kitchen, using the family waffle iron. These shoes became the sole pattern for what was to become the Nike line. Do you think this film might have some product tie-ins?) In essence, not only is this film about the philosophical nature of performance and honor, it's got the added gusto of visualizing the American dream: local curmudgeon invents multimillion-dollar product with his wife's waffle iron, starts international craze.
Supporting performances are also a cut above, including most prominently Monica Potter as Prefontaine's girlfriend who, as a practicing Catholic, also had the moral fortitude to go against the groupthink of the times. A team of real-life long distancers and Olympians bring veracity to the film.
Most admirably, co-writer/ director Robert Towne has invigorated "Without Limits" with a sizzling pace, especially welcome for those of us rubes who consider long-distance running the most boring of sports. Special praise to editors Claire Simpson and Robert Lambert for the fast-clip edits and to composer Randy Miller for the rousing, pulse-quickening score. A slew of '60s-ish sounds, courtesy of music supervisor Danny Bramson, add a solid kick to this smartly conceived winner.
