England Is Mine had its World Premiere on Sunday evening in Scotland as the closing film of the 2017 Edinburgh Film Festival.
England Is Mine is a feature length origins story based on the early life of Morrissey, the outspoken former lead singer of seminal British band The Smiths.
Read the review here.
In 1970’s Manchester, Steven Morrissey (Jack Lowden – Dunkirk, A United Kingdom, ’71), an introverted, uncompromising teenager, finds himself frustrated with his working-class existence.
With dreams of a successful music career being dampened by his run-of-the-mill job at the local tax office, Steven finds solace in the city’s underground gig scene where he meets Linder Sterling (Jessica Brown Findlay – Downton Abbey, The Riot Club) – an intelligent, self-assured artist – who encourages him to make his ideas of superstardom a reality.

A young Morrissey trashes – then rises above – the stale rock scene of 1970s Manchester in the debut trailer for England Is Mine, an unauthorized biopic about the Smiths singer.
The clip opens with the future rock icon as a budding music journalist, scribing a scathing review on a typewriter. "The local music scene is the sole preserve of troglodytes whose regard for subtlety and variation is comparable to a pig's passion for the slaughterhouse," narrates Steven Patrick Morrissey (Jack Lowden). "In case I haven't made myself clear, it wasn't very good.

He penned the screenplay alongside first time feature writer William Thacker. Baldwin Li, who produced The Voorman Problem, is producing for Honlodge Productions alongside Control producer Orian Williams.

The Academy has announced the new class of invited members for 2014 and, as is typical, many of which are among last year's nominees, which includes Barkhad Abdi, Michael Fassbender, Sally Hawkins, Mads Mikkelsen, Lupita Nyong'o and June Squibb in the Actors branch not to mention curious additions such as Josh Hutcherson, Rob Riggle and Jason Statham, but, okay. The Directors branch adds Jay and Mark Duplass along with Jean-Marc Vallee, Denis Villeneuve and Thomas Vinterberg. I didn't do an immediate tally of male to female additions or other demographics, but at first glance it seems to be a wide spread batch of new additions on all fronts. The Academy is also clearly attempting to aggressively bump up the demographics as this is the second year in a row where they have added a large number of new members, well over the average of 133 new members from 2004 to 2012.

Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o of 12 Years a Slave were two of the 271 artists and industry leaders invited to become members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which determines nominations and winners at the annual Oscars. The entire list of Academy membership—which numbers about 6,000—isn’t public information so the annual invitation list is often the best indication of the artists involved in the prestigious awards process. It’s worth noting that invitations need to be accepted in order for artists to become members; some artists, like two-time Best Actor winner Sean Penn, have declined membership over the years.

Pop quiz: What do Chris Rock, Claire Denis, Eddie Vedder and Josh Hutcherson all have in common? Answer: They could all be Oscar voters very soon. The annual Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences invitation list always makes for interesting reading, shedding light on just how large and far-reaching the group's membership is -- or could be, depending on who accepts their invitations. This year, 271 individuals have been asked to join AMPAS, meaning every one of them could contribute to next year's Academy Awards balloting -- and it's as diverse a list as they've ever assembled. Think the Academy consists entirely of fusty retired white dudes? Not if recent Best Original Song nominee Pharrell Williams takes them up on their offer. Think it's all just a Hollywood insiders' game? Not if French arthouse titans Chantal Akerman and Olivier Assayas join the party. It's a list that subverts expectation at every turn.

If there’s anything that anyone who purports themselves a fan of Morrissey should know, it’s that making the Smiths frontman angry means that you’re in for a world of hurt. If he’s not going to badger you relentlessly for months in the form of in-concert rambling speeches, then at least he’s going to pen a few condemning, choicely worded public letters voicing his displeasure to some national newspapers. That’s why filmmaker Mark Gill (The Voorman Problem) is treading in hot water by developing an unauthorized biopic about the cantankerous crooner, no matter how good his intentions. It’s just not worth it, mate. The film, titled Steven (Did you know Morrissey even had a first name? You didn’t, did you?) aims to tell the story of pre-fame Morrissey, the man, the myth, the legend, before he formed The Smiths with songwriting partner Johnny Marr and became the most sensitive vegetarian...

With both James Brown and Jimi Hendrix biopics on their way, it seems like musicians’ stories are gaining traction with financiers and studio execs. The Los Angeles Times and THR is reporting that the cantankerous Smiths frontman, Morrissey, will be the next to see cinematic canonization, though not exactly with his blessing. Titled (at least for now) “Steven,” the film will be directed by the "The Voorman Problem" filmmaker Mark Gill and scripted by both Gill and William Thacker. The project looks “to cover Morrissey’s early years, prior to forming a songwriting partnership with Smiths band mate Johhny Marr, which would lead to international stardom and the sales of millions of records. Gill promises that the film will be less a paint-by-the-numbers biopic and ”more of a portrait“ of the singer. Orian Williams is one of the producers behind the movie, and he's responsible for both Ian Curtis biopic...

A biopic about former Smiths frontman Morrissey's life has been announced.
A statement on Manchester-based production company Honlodge Productions' website refers to the film as "a love letter to Steven Patrick Morrissey and the dark satanic mills of Manchester".
The film will tell the story of Morrissey's early life before The Smiths and is currently working under the title Steven.
"The film is more of a portrait than a conventional biopic," director Mark Gill claimed. "It's as much a film for non-Morrissey fans as it is for die-hard devotees."
Both the film's producer Orian Williams and casting director Shaheen Baig worked on the Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis biopic Control.
The biopic is being developed by the Oscar-nominated team behind short film The Voorman Problem.
Work on the film will begin at the end of the year. It is unclear if Morrissey has endorsed the making of the biopic.

The 86th annual Academy Awards were really fun to watch. Ellen Degeneres did a fantastic job hosting, and I enjoyed the show she put on. It was also insanely predictable, at least, for me it was. Overall, I'm happy with all of the films that won. My favorite win of the the night was Spike Jonze taking home the Oscar for Best Original screenplay for Her. That was such an amazing movie, and I really wanted it to win that award, but I wasn't sure it would happen. My favorite speech of the night came from Best Actor winner Matthew McConaughey. I was never really a big fan of his, but over the last couple of years he has sure blown up into an amazing actor who has starred in some really incredible films. Then that speech he gave last night won me over, and now I'm on team McConaughey.

Congratulations to Mark Harris (Grantland), Dave Karger (Fandango), and Peter Travers (Rolling Stone) for topping all Experts at predicting this year's Academy Awards. Each of them were at a 92% accuracy rate, missing just two categories apiece. As for the misses, Harris had "Get a Horse" (instead of "Mr. Hublot") for Animated Short and "The Voorman Problem" (instead of "Helium") for Live Action Short. Karger had "American Hustle" for Original Screenplay (losing to "Her") and "Get a Horse." Travers had "Feral" for Animated Short and "The Voorman Problem." After our three winners, there was then a seven-way tie at 88% (21 of 24 categories) between Thelma Adams (Yahoo), Kyle Buchanan (Vulture), Tim Hayne (Moviefone), Michael Hogan (Vanity Fair), Tariq Khan (Fox News), Glenn Whipp (L.A.

Take a closer look at the Gold Derby odds generated by the thousands of predictions made by our Experts, Editors, Top 24 Users from last year and All Users and you will see that only a few trophies were really up for grabs. This awards season went on for so long that it seemed that the Oscars were all figured out. And, remarkably, they truly were.Twenty of the 24 categories had a runaway frontrunner. Indeed, Gold Derby as a whole got only two categories wrong: Best Animated Short: Third place "Mr. Hublot" triumphed over overwhelming frontrunner “Get a Horse!”; and Best Live-Action Short: “Helium” rose above “The Voorman Problem." While our Experts and Users predicted “The Voorman Problem,” the favorite among the editors was “Helium.” Had you gone with the consensus choices of t...

It was based on the bestselling memoir by Solomon Northup, first published in 1853. 12 Years a Slave follows McQueen's award-winning dramas Hunger and Shame, and was produced by among others Brad Pitt's Plan B outfit. Pitt also takes a small but pivotal role as abolitionist carpenter Samuel Bass.

The 2014 Oscar Awards have been handed out and it to no real surprise... there were few surprises as 12 Years a Slave took home Best Picture as well as Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o) and Best Adapted Screenplay (John Ridley) while Gravity, unsurprisingly, ended up taking home the night's largest number of wins with seven, none bigger than a Best Director win for Alfonso Cuaron. In the acting categories the only category that seemed up for grabs was Supporting Actress, but as I said, that went to Lupita, which may have something to do with Jennifer Lawrence wearing red... I learned on E! that no one wearing red has ever won the Oscar. Yeah, that's hard-hitting journalism right there.

There is strong consensus between our 30 Oscar Experts and Gold Derby's eight Editors in most of this year's races. Indeed, the collective predictions of each group match in 20 out of 24 categories, as detailed below. However, there are four especially close categories where the Experts and Editors can't agree on the frontrunner, including the big one: Best Picture! In each case, one group or the other is evenly split between two strong candidates: Best Picture 22 of 30 Experts: "12 Years a Slave" 4 of 8 Editors each: "12 Years" and "Gravity" Best Original Screenplay 15 of 30 Experts each: "American Hustle" and "Her" 5 of 8 Editors: "Her" Best Editing 20 of 30 Experts: "Gravity" 4 of 8 Editors each: "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" Best Live Action Short 16 of 28 Experts: "The Voorman Problem" 3 of 8...

Crane.tv has put together a wonderful video feature taking a look at what they deem four of the "unsung heroes of film" that have been nominated for Oscars this year. If you've looked through my final 2014 Oscar predictions you'll see none of these four men listed among my winners, but after watching this video I don't think you'll discount their work, win or lose. Interviewed are Bruno Delbonnel, nominated for Best Cinematography on Inside Llewyn Davis; Joshua Oppenheimer nominated for his documentary The Act of Killing (which very well could win); Mark Gill, director of the live-action short The Voorman Problem; and Joe Walker nominated as editor of 12 Years A Slave. You'll hear Delbonnel talk about how he threw up three or four times on the first day of filming Tim Burton's Dark Shadows and his influence on the opening scene of Inside Llewyn Davis. Oppenheimer talks about...

In the lead-up to the 86th annual Academy Awards on March 2, HitFix will be bringing you the lowdown on all 24 Oscar categories with multiple entries each day. Take a few notes and bone up on the competition as we give you the edge in your office Oscar pool! The shorts categories can make or break your office predictions pool, and this year in particular, they could really make a difference. It's a tight race overall and if you can figure out where the Academy might go in these fields, you'll have a leg up. Live action might be the most difficult one of the bunch to call, however, as four of the five nominees could easily win the prize. It's an international assortment, entries coming from Spain, France, the UK, Denmark and Finland. (Note the absence of an American voice this year. Pity.) It's usually best to side with the film that rouses the emotions,...

Funny how fast an Oscar season goes by… only last year Argo was being given the Academy Award for Best Picture. The big night is almost here and nothing about this year’s Academy Awards is a sure bet. With so much time between the nominations in January, the various guild awards and the Olympics thrown in, the 6,028 AMPAS voters have had a long time to mull things, and their votes, over.
The winner’s acceptance speeches at the Golden Globes, the Screen Actor Guild Awards (SAG) and the British Academy Awards (BAFTA) have never been more important as they have during this past month and a half. Voting for the Oscars closed on Tuesday, February 25, at 5 p.m.

Photo: AMPAS Polls Are Closed, Click Here For The Complete Results And Comparison To My Predictions It seems like the Oscars take forever to arrive, but when they do it's almost as if you aren't prepared. I offered up my first Best Picture predictions almost a year ago exactly, and by the looks of it predicting that early doesn't result in very accurate results as I only had three of the eventual nominees on the list and two films didn't even end up released in 2013. Oh well, it's all part of the fun. We watch, we scrutinize, we judge, and sooner or later it all becomes quite clear which films and performances will be rising to the top in each category. We discuss the last two nomination slots and we bicker over the #1 line, not because we necessarily feel one film or performance is better than another in its respective category,...

Are you sick of those ordinary Oscar office pools? Tired of only guessing the top 6 or 8 categories for the Academy Awards? Let your inner-movie geek shine with Bowl the Perfect Oscar Score (aka Oscar Bowling).
Try to nail 300 points on the 2013 Academy Awards.
This is a confidence list.
There are 24 categories.
How to play
Pick your winners in all 24 categories. Then, give each winner a confidence score. Your most confident pick gets 24 points, second most confident gets 23 points, third most confident gets 22 points, and eventually your least confident pick gets 1 point.
This is perfect for Oscar parties, because the lead keeps changing. The winner is the one with the most points at the end. A perfect score is 300. If there is a tie (there never is a tie), then the winner is the one with the most points in these three categories combined (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress).

Welcome to Oscar Week!
From Tuesday through Saturday, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences invites movie geeks each night to get an up close look at the various categories and nominees.
Kicking off the week was the “Oscar Celebrates: Shorts” event on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Actor Kevin Pollack hosted the evening with screenings of all the 2013 Oscar-nominated films in the Animated and Live Action Short Film categories, plus onstage discussions with the filmmakers.
So what exactly qualifies a film into these categories? According to AMPAS rule 19, “a short film is defined as an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits.” It goes on to say, “An animated film is created by using a frame-by-frame technique, and usually falls into one of the two general fields of animation: character or abstract.

We are now less than a week away from the 2014 Oscars and I'll be posting my final predictions soon enough and asking for you to place your votes on each category as well leading up to the March 2 festivities. But in the meantime, Bovada (via Slashfilm) have posted updated Las Vegas odds on all 23 categories and for the most part it's just as you'd expect. In Best Picture it's just as close a race as we've been saying some time though Oscar prognosticators tend to be leaning more toward Gravity as of late. Personally I'm pretty sure I'll be holding on to 12 Years a Slave by the time the show starts and it seems Vegas will agree. Some of the more interesting races include Best Foreign Film, which Vegas currently pegs The Great Beauty as the frontrunner and it certainly seems to be the film with the most juice. Currently...

Indiewire will provide regular updates of our predictions for the 86th Academy Awards through March 2nd, when the winners are announced. The short film races are always extremely tough to call -- especially now that the entire Academy membership is eligible to vote for them. But we tried our best to help you win your Oscar pools despite that difficulty, with predictions in all three short film categories listed below. Check out all predictions in all the categories here. Best Live Action Short: Mark Gill and Baldwin Li's "The Voorman Problem" -- the only film here in unsubtitled English (7 of the last 10 winners have been in English) seems like the one to beat. Featuring Martin Freeman as a psychologist up against a patient who believes he is god, it has the kind of accessibility that seems likely to go over well with voters as a whole. Though watch out...

Predicting Oscars is not easy. There are no formulas or tricks to help us, and our own opinions about which films are most worthy are based on, let’s face it, a limited personal experience.
Some people claim that the winners are determined by their popularity; those nominees that are trending at the time the winners are selected are going to fare the best. Others claim that it is about previous work and effort. Those that have done the time and paid their dues will eventually be rewarded. Another perspective is that the Oscar winners are chosen in a way to help guide the future of film. Those with talent and potential are rewarded as an effort to bolster their careers and steer the industry in a particular direction.
