| Bill Murray to star with Charlie Sheen in movie Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:03 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com): Bill Murray has joined the cast of Roman Coppola's ''A Glimpse Into the Mind of Charles Swan III,'' TheWrap has confirmed. Murray will add his famous oddness to a cast that also includes Charlie Sheen and Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Jason Schwartzman - the director's cousin - also stars. The movie, which Coppolla wrote and is directing and producing, is about a famous graphic designer who plummets into a vortex of despair after his girlfriend dumps him. Youree Henley also is producing. Coppola is the son of Francis Ford Coppola and the brother of Sofia Coppola - who directed Murray in her 1993 ''Lost in Translation.'' Roman Coppola was nominated for a BAFTA Award for best special effects for the 1992 ''Dracula.'' Murray also stars as Franklin D. Roosevelt in the upcoming ''Hyde Park on the Hudson,'' now in post production, and in ''Moonrise Kingdom,'' also in post production. ''A Glimpse Into the Mind of Charles Swan III'' is set for a 2012 release. Full content generated by Get Full RSS. |
| Spielberg's 'Tintin' lands closing night at AFI festival Posted: 31 Oct 2011 05:01 PM PDT LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com): Monday afternoon's announcement that Steven Spielberg's ''The Adventures of Tintin'' will be the closing-night film at the AFI Fest would be more newsworthy if the film won't already have been playing around the world for two weeks by the time it debuts in Hollywood on Nov. 10. Still, the news gives the AFI Fest a heavyweight closer, and marks the North American debut of an animated (via the motion-capture technique) film whose overseas reaction has been marked by big grosses and divided critics. ''Steven Spielberg is a national treasure,'' said Bob Gazzale, AFI President and CEO in a press release announcing the premiere. ''He has written this nation's cultural legacy over four decades, he inspires artists and audiences alike and he honors us all by premiering 'The Adventures of Tintin'' at AFI Fest, where we celebrate the very best the world has to offer for 2011.'' The official U.S. release date for ''Tintin'' is Dec. 21. The 2011 AFI Fest begins on Nov. 3 with a screening of Clint Eastwood's ''J. Edgar,'' and takes place over the following seven days at the Chinese and Egyptian theatres and the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood. Last year's AFI Fest closer was Darren Aronofsky's ''Black Swan,'' which went on to win the Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Feature and an Oscar for star Natalie Portman.
