John Travolta’s “Gotti” is making headlines for reportedly being dropped from release a mere 10 days before opening in theaters. Lionsgate Premiere was set to open “Gotti” on December 15, but news broke yesterday on the Tracking Board that the film would no longer be released and that distribution rights were being reverted back to producers Travolta has weighed in on the release controversy in an interview with Deadline and denies the film was suddenly dropped.
“Unfortunately, the reports were speculation bordering on fake news,” Travolta told Deadline. “Lionsgate was planning on a minimal release and I did an investigation into people who might have the interest and financial wherewithal to better release it.”
Travolta says he found a partner in Edward Wilson, who has produced films like Woody Allen’s “Cafe Society” and “Wonder Wheel.” According to the actor,...

Two immensely talented actors who you simply don’t see enough of on the big screen, are Maxine Peake and Will Forte. So thankfully for us, filmmaker Steph Green has made an attempt in putting that right once and for all, casting the two performers as the lead roles in her debut production Run & Jump. Well, we’re sold.
Forte plays Ted, an American doctor who is staying with the Vanetia (Peake) and her family in Ireland, to study and examine her husband Conor (Edward MacLiam), who has developed a significant change in personality following a recent stroke. While the infectiously optimistic mother of two desperately attempts to get on with her life and to balance the acts of parenthood and caring for her husband, the doctor provides something of a distraction, though as the pair find solace in one another’s company, they have to be careful not to overstep the mark.

Title: Run & Jump Director: Steph Green Starring: Maxine Peake, Edward MacLiam, Will Forte, Brendan Morris, Ruth McCabe, Sharon Horgan, Michael Harding A compassionate drama that wants to sift through and examine notions of expanded family, “Run & Jump” flirts with being a lot of different things, but succeeds in being none of them. The debut feature film of co-writer and director Steph Green, this Irish import — featuring one of two dramatic turns by ex-”Saturday Night Live” star Will Forte this season — has a rooted sense of place, but lacks the resolution and fortitude to push past pretty, dressed-up surface conflict and into areas that might leave a lasting [ Read More ]

There’s acting and then there’s “acting.” The first requires building credible characters and relationships, developing organic conflicts within the framework of a concrete story. The second involves loading up a story with excessive clutter that it drowns out any work of which the actors are capable, turning them into drama automatons: it’s mostly reacting, both removing the burden of work from most performers while also placing a greater spotlight on their very presence, as they are forced to “react” instead of act. This also helps illustrate the difference between drama and melodrama. That best captures the nature of “Run and Jump,” an Irish drama with a solid, touching central conceit. The first scene finds beautiful Vanetia (Maxine Peake) driving her husband home after a hospital stay following a stroke. Unfortunately, he’s now in a regressed mental state similar to a child; Conor (Edward McLiam) now stares...

Our series of lists devoted to underappreciated films brings us to the year 2006, and a further 25 overlooked gems...
With all the major films that elbow their way into their cinemas every year, there's bound to be some casualties among the big hits. And just like any other year, 2006 was dominated by the likes of Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Da Vinci Code and Ice Age: The Meltdown. But in tandem, there were dozens of lesser-seen films which shuffled in and out of cinemas (or occasionally, didn't get a release in cinemas at all) without very many people noticing.
As we're sure you're aware by now, these lists aim to redress the balance a little, and hopefully introduce a few films from any given year that you may have missed. There are also one or two films that, although...

After premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival this past spring, "Run and Jump" has landed distribution at Sundance Selects. Directed by Steph Green, the drama focuses on Vanetia (Maxine Peaka), an energetic wife and mother who is trying to rebuild her life after her husband Conor (Edward MacLiam) suffered a massive change in personality.

Steph Green remarks: “Sundance Selects’ renowned reputation and association with quality independent films and filmmakers is well established.

Run & Jump
Germany, Ireland 2013
Directed by Steph Green
Written by Ailbhe Keogan
Run & Jump tells an emotionally charged tale of an Irish family shaken by a freak trauma after the head of household, Conor (Edward MacLiam), suffers a stroke that drastically alters his personality and perception of the world. His stalwart wife, Vanetia (Maxine Peake), labors with all the enthusiasm she can muster to maintain as much normalcy in the family dynamic as possible. Some of that normalcy is threatened, and then restored, and then threatened again for other reasons as the family welcomes Ted (Will Forte), an American neuropsychologist and researcher, into their lives. Ted intends to study Conor’s progress during his reinstatement to daily living, but the family soon absorbs him into their affairs on a personal level and gradually groom him to take Conor’s place.

New York — Crossing the Atlantic to make his dramatic debut, Will Forte finds an ideal vehicle in Steph Green's Run & Jump, playing a brain researcher who gets more involved than expected with the family of an Irish stroke victim. The actor's name will draw attention to the film (which also marks Green's debut and that of co-screenwriter Ailbhe Keogan), but Run feels not a bit like a credibility-earning vanity project and should find admirers at fests and beyond. Forte's Ted Fielding, planning to write a paper on a man (Edward MacLiam's Conor Casey) whose stroke put

The Tribeca Film Festival is rolling out more first-looks. First off, is director Steph Green’s latest endeavor, entitled "Run and Jump." The film marks Green’s return to Tribeca after winning in the Best Short Narrative category in 2008 for her film "New Boy." "Run and Jump" stars "Saturday Night Live" alumnus Will Forte in a rare dramatic turn (perhaps a preview of things to come in Alexander Payne's "Nebraska"), Ruth McCabe, and Edward MacLiam. It follows an Irish wife and mother who find herself having to band her family together after her husband suffers a stroke. The plot is below: After a stroke leaves her husband disabled and fundamentally changed, a spirited Irish wife struggles to keep her family members together. All the while they are under the microscope of an American researcher documenting their recovery process. Green is not just a Tribeca alumnus, she’s also an Oscar-nominated director,...

Our original intention had been to see Hitchcock's second version of The Man Who Knew Too Much (with Doris Day singing Que Sera, Sera, 1956), but the timing proved impossible, and instead we booked seats for Charles Frend's Scott of the Antarctic (with John Mills as Scott, 1948). This was our Christmas treat at the BFI on London's South Bank, though we knew, of course, that the second film's ending wouldn't exactly send us trilling across Waterloo Bridge to our post-screening hamburgers in Covent Garden, which is another seasonal custom.
I had seen Scott of the Antarctic before, as a small boy at a cinema in a Lancashire cotton town in the closing years of the last king's reign; or rather, at one of those theatres that alternated films with variety acts,...

Robert DeNiro's spy drama The Good Shepherd came and went rather quietly back in 2006, earning mixed reviews and a lone Oscar nomination for Art Direction. The movie starred Matt Damon as Edward Wilson, a fictional character based on James Jesus Angleton, one of the original founding officers of the Central Intelligence Agency. I remember thinking it was well made but way too long, and at this point I'd be hard pressed to recall a single plot detail. That's probably not a good thing, but is it possible that maybe the story was not really suited to a single feature film? We're about to find out, because DeNiro is apparently reteaming with screenwriter Eric Roth to turn The Good Shepherd into a TV series for Showtime. According to Deadline, Showtime is currently developing the series in partnership with DeNiro's Tribeca Productions. Roth is attached to write and executive produce, while...
