R.I.P. J.D. Salinger, Reclusive Literary Icon
J.D. Salinger, the enigmatic American author best known for his classic novel "Catcher in the Rye" died Thursday at the age of 91.
Jake Gyllenhaal as Tom (who calls himself Holden in honor of Holden Caulfield) in "The Good Girl" (2002).
"It’s been the dream of many a producer — and perhaps the nightmare of many a faithful reader — that J. D. Salinger’s novel “The Catcher in the Rye” might someday be translated to another medium. Mr. Salinger considered a stage version of the novel in which he himself would play its teenage protagonist, Holden Caulfield. That (mercifully) never happened; nor did offers for film adaptations from Billy Wilder, Elia Kazan, Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein, all of which the author summarily turned down.
"I keep saying this and nobody seems to agree, but “The Catcher in the Rye” is a very novelistic novel. There are readymade “scenes” — only a fool would deny that — but, for me, the weight of the book is in the narrator’s voice, the non-stop peculiarities of it, his personal, extremely discriminating attitude to his reader-listener, his asides about gasoline rainbows in street puddles, his philosophy or way of looking at cowhide suitcases and empty toothpaste cartons - in a word, his thoughts. He can’t legitimately be separated from his own first-person technique. True, if the separation is forcibly made, there is enough material left over for something called an Exciting (or maybe just Interesting) Evening in the Theater. But I find that idea if not odious, at least odious enough to keep me from selling the rights". Source: artsbeat.blogs.nytimes

Wall Street 2 : Money Never Sleeps Trailer
"Michael Douglas won an Oscar for his portrayal of Gordon Gekko in Oliver Stone's Wall Street 23 years ago, and the reptilian trader returns to cinemas this April, in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. The first trailer for the movie has just been released via IMDb and it focuses on Gekko's rather Blues Brothers-ey release from the pen, and his subsequent hook-up with fresh-faced city slicker Jake Moore, played by Shia LaBeouf. Despite the clip's overwhelming focus on Douglas and LaBeouf, there are also glimpses of supporting players Josh Brolin, Carey Mulligan, and Frank Langella too. The plot of Wall Street: Silly Title apparently revolves around Gekko getting in touch with estranged daughter Winnie (Mulligan), who is shacked up with Jake (as indeed Mulligan is with LaBeouf in real-life). It seems natural that when Stone was looking for someone to play a thrusting young cock from the banking world - with all the overpaid, obnoxious, spoilt brat connotations embroidered into such a role - he would turn to Shia LaBeouf. Okay, maybe that is a tiny bit unfair, but Mr. Next Big Thing has been a significant party to the fouling up of the last three cinematic summers, thanks to his leading roles in the truly wretched event movie troika of Transformers, Crystal Skulls, and Revenge of the Fallen. Megan Fox and Shia Labeouf as Mikaela Banes and Sam Witwicky in "Transformers" franchise by Michael Bay.
Gekko is apparently less of an and out-and-out villain this time out, with Stone's sequel likely to have him defecating on those even-worse-than-he, 21st century credit default swapping spivs as he clambers back to the apex of the lower Manhattan finance pyramid – much to the delight, no doubt, of a general public who currently hold bankers in the kind of regard they normally reserve for, well, Shia LaBeouf blockbusters".

This is the trailer for Wall Street 2 : Money Never Sleeps. Hence the title, 'Wall Street 2 : Money Never Sleeps Trailer'...

Shia Labeouf and Carey Mulligan have been seen flirting and cuddling a few times since they started to shoot "Wall Street 2 : Money Never Sleeps" (2010).

Sundance 2010 Summary
World famous street artist 'Bansky' was in Utah for the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. To promote his movie "Exit Through the Gift Shop" he put a few pieces around downtown Salt Lake and Park City.Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning.Kristen Stewart.Kristen Stewart at "Welcome to the Rileys" Q&A session after the movie viewing at the Racquet Club Theatre - Sundance Film Festival, Park City Utah, on January 23, 2010.Dakota Fanning.Joan Jett.Kate Mara.Juliette Lewis.Mark Ruffalo.Adam Brody.Michelle Williams.Ryan Gosling.Parker Posey.Jesse Eisenberg.Paul Dano.James Franco.Dakota Fanning, Joan Jett, Kristen Stewart and Cherie Currie.
"Everybody knows Joan Jett, but nobody really knows how hard it was to become her," Stewart said. "We've grown up being told that we, us girls, can do whatever we want, and that just wasn't the case for them.""Jett said she was on "The Runaways" set every day, helping Stewart capture her posture, her guitar style, her East Coast Maryland accent. As a teen, Jett used to send oral letters on cassette tape to an aunt, and she gave one of those to Stewart to help the actress match her voice."I told her, 'Listen, man. I trust you. You gotta go with your instincts. If there's something that's way off, trust me, I'm going to let you know,' and I don't mean bite her head off," Jett said. "I'd guide her. That time never really came, you know. She was right there." Source: news.yahoo.com
"The Sundance Film Festival went retro with the premiere of "The Runaways," a pulsating saga about the 1970s groundbreaking female rock 'n' roll band whose hits include "Cherry Bomb" and "Born to Be Bad."Taking a bow afterward were Runaways founder and rhythm guitarist Joan Jett and lead singer Cherie Currie, and Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning, who play them. Currie and Fanning were platinum blondes, in sharp contrast to Jett and Stewart's coal-black hair.
Lesbian family film
By mid-festival, the most sought-after film was "The Kids Are All Right" a revelatory look at a lesbian couple - played by Annette Bening and Julianne Moore - raising teenagers, and the sudden appearance in their lives of their sperm donor. A bidding war broke out after the first screening, with Deadline Hollywood predicting the picture would sell for $10 million. You don't have to be an expert to see the commercial potential of "Kids." Director Lisa Cholodenko ("High Art," "Laurel Canyon") tells a story of a lesbian relationship over the long haul and the family they create.
Distributors also expressed interest in "The Killer Inside Me" Michael Winterbottom's adaptation of pulp fiction writer Jim Thompson's novel. It's a safe bet that the women in the Sundance audience who screamed at Winterbottom won't be telling anyone to see "Killer" at a local theater. They were outraged at repeated scenes of Casey Affleck beating Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba to a pulp. When Winterbottom said the violence came right from the book, these women let him know that was no excuse". Source: www.sfgate.com
