Dennis Hopper may have passed away six years ago, but his fans can still catch him in his last movie, “The Last Film Festival.” IndieWire has an exclusive new clip from the comedy which features Hopper asking a junior agent (Joseph Cross) why he’s in the movie biz, since for him it was because of Sophia Loren.
Directed by Linda Yellen, the film follows Nick Twain (Hopper), a failing Hollywood producer whose latest movie has been rejected by every film festival in the world except for one. When an obscure festival is the last hope for Twain and his disaster of a movie, he does anything to get his picture distributed, including manipulating his dysfunctional cast into attending. Jacqueline Bisset, Chris Kattan, JoBeth Williams and Leelee Sobieski co-star.

It took her five years, but writer-director-producer Linda Yellen has finally completed Dennis Hopper‘s final film. Yellen, whose credits include the 2000 film “The Simian Line” with Lynn Redgrave, was well into production on the indie comedy “The Last Film Festival” in May 2010 when the beloved actor died of prostate cancer. Hopper still had several key shooting days to complete in the lead role as a once-great Hollywood producer stuck in a small-town film festival. After shelving the project for several years, Yellen was struck by inspiration on how to fix the gaps in the narrative. She raised more than.

Dennis Hopper’s final film, The Last Film Festival, is nearly complete -- but it needs help your help.
Five years after the actor died of prostate cancer at the age of 74, Emmy award-winning director Linda Yellen is turning to Kickstarter to raise $90,000 -- they have raised over $47,000 with 17 days to go -- in order to put the final edits on the film and release it publicly to fans.

But for Yellen and the film’s cast, including Jacqueline Bisset, Katrina Bowden, Chris Kattan, Leelee Sobieski, and Donnell Rawlings, it’s more than a film.

Producers of the last film to feature Hollywood icon Dennis Hopper are turning to Kickstarter to complete the film.
Filming on comedy The Last Film Festival came to a halt four years ago when Easy Rider star Hopper died from cancer aged 74.
The production is now looking to raise $90,000 to complete post-production and assist distribution on the feature, in which Hopper stars as a big-shot Hollywood producer whose recent flop is accepted in just one film festival – the disastrously executed O’Hi Film Festival.
The cast also includes Jacqueline Bisset, Joseph Cross, JoBeth Williams, Katrina Bowden, Chris Kattan, Leelee Sobieski, and Donnell Rawlings.
The picture was written specifically for Hopper by director Linda Yellen and her writing partner Michael Leeds, who pitched the idea to the star after meeting at Sundance. Yellen produces with Bob Jorissen.

It's been nearly five years since the death of Dennis Hopper - but there's a strand of hope for what would have been his final film.
It's been nearly five years since the death of Dennis Hopper, at the age of 74. At the time he died, he was working on what would have been his final movie, The Last Film Festival. The film was a few scenes short of completion, and starred Hopper as a Hollywood producer, whose recent movie flop gets accepted in just one film festival. And not a good one.
Called the O'Hi Film Festival, Hopper's producer and his crew then descend on the small time of O'Hi, and chaos ensues. Well, it would have done, had the film been finished. But now a new campaign has been launched to try and get The Last Film Festival finally over the line.

When Dennis Hopper’s prostate cancer recurred five years ago, he died abruptly at 74, just before postproduction of his last movie, a fond satire of the industry called The Last Film Festival. But on March 10, writer/director Linda Yellen launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the last $90,000 she needs to finish the film. Yellen, who began as a film critic earning $25 per review at The Hollywood Reporter, earned a third-place award at the New York Film Festival up against George Lucas’ Thx 1138 and Martin Scorsese’s Italian American, and directed 12 films and TV hits

hollywoodnews.com: Jacqueline Bisset is awaiting word on the fate of “The Last Film Festival” — Linda Yellen’s big-screen comedy in which she stars with Chris Kattan and the late Dennis Hopper, which, she reveals, “We still haven’t quite finished. We still need more money to finish it. It’s a pity. They’re just struggling with the end of it, hoping someone comes forward. It’s Dennis Hopper’s last film, and it’s fun — really pretty funny.”
Bisset, who has the Hallmark Channel Original Movie, “An Old-Fashioned Christmas” coming up Dec. 11, tells us that the cancer that took Hopper’s life in May was not apparent when they worked together. She adds, “I was actually an admirer of Dennis for years as a painter and photographer” — in addition to his work as an actor and filmmaker.

Laremy is in Minnesota getting ready to watch the Dolphins face the Vikings so I felt I wouldn't interrupt his time by asking him to write up the box-office results so here I am. Also, in the next month or so we are planning on adding a few wrinkles to the box-office oracle and wrap-up, so if you have any suggestions or changes you'd like to see let us know. Laremy has predicted the #1 movie correctly: 2 Weeks In A Row The Town Looking at the commenter predictions, Bustray was the closest predicting The Town to hit $24.5 million. Not bad prognosticating, and I am still shocked with $23.8 million The Town has already made $3.5 million more than Gone Baby Gone. Miramax must have done a terrible job marketing that film back in 2007, or people are simply more interested in a heist film rather than a missing kid film.

There are many examples of family films that go beyond entertaining the targeted demographic and have something to offer an audience of all ages. The new animated film Alpha and Omega (in 3D!) is not one of them. In fact, this film has such a limited appeal that the appreciative viewer may not extend past undiscerning 5-year-olds who can’t get enough of talking wolves and get excited by moving objects and loud noises.
The dull effort centers on Humphrey (voiced by Justin Long), a fun-loving wolf skilled at riding large chunks of tree bark down dangerous hills and Kate (Hayden Panettiere), the future pack leader who, despite just returning from Alpha School, has a thing or two to learn about hunting caribou.
Humphrey has deep and inappropriate feelings for Kate, but it is forbidden! He is an Omega and she is an Alpha, and it is against the law...

His management revealed his battle with cancer just last year and yesterday 74 year-old long-time film star Dennis Hopper passed away. His cultural legacy is most closely fused with the counter culture sensation Easy Rider (1969) which he directed, wrote and starred in. But it stretches back much further than that and was, at least at the start, quite a case of beginner's luck. When three of your first four movies are titles as major or enduring as Rebel Without a Cause (1955), Giant (1956) and Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957) than things are off to quite a good start no matter how you define such things.
After those promising early years, things got choppy. Addictions and reportedly volatile on set behavior may have derailed major movie stardom but his bad boy reputation, whatever the personal and professional costs, surely added to his iconoclast mystique.
In the end he's left quite a legacy to consider.

Acclaimed actor and director Dennis Hopper died Saturday at 74 after a long struggle with prostate cancer. Having starred in more than 100 movies, Hopper is perhaps best known for his roles in Apocalypse Now, Blue Velvet, and Hoosiers, along with the iconic Easy Rider, which he also co-wrote and directed. Co-star and co-writer Peter Fonda released the following statement upon news of Hopper's death.
Dennis introduced me to the world of Pop Art and "lost" films. We rode the highways of America and changed the way movies were made in Hollywood. I was blessed by his passion and friendship.
Hopper, who's in the upcoming movies Alpha and Omega and The Last Film Festival, was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award last year at the first Albuquerque Film Festival. We've got a clip of him at the event below.

Chicago – Beloved actor and legendary easy rider Dennis Hopper lost his long battle with prostate cancer this morning at age 74. With a career spanning over the last half-century, Hopper is best known for directing, co-writing and co-starring in 1969’s counterculture classic “Easy Rider”. The script awarded Hopper his first of two Oscar nominations (the other he received for his memorable supporting role in 1987’s “Hoosiers”).

Dennis Hopper's colleagues on new movie The Last Film Festival were stunned by his recent cancer diagnosis - because the actor seemed to be in "great health" while filming the comedy.
The Easy Rider star went public with his battle in October last year, revealing he is being treated for prostate cancer.
Hopper sparked fresh fears for his health last month when he was deemed too ill to appear at a deposition in his ongoing divorce battle with estranged wife Victoria Duffy - and legal papers revealed he is unlikely to recover.
The veteran actor filmed scenes for The Last Film Festival in early 2009, just months before his illness was made public - and director Linda Yellen admits the news was a complete shock.
She tells New York Post gossip column Page Six, "He never once complained... He is a brilliant, brilliant man. The younger cast members absolutely worshipped him. He was in great health and had enormous charisma when we were shooting. He eagerly worked long days. So this has all come as a nasty shock."...
