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".

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

Youth in Revolt: Innocence & Filth

"For Doubleday, it was about balancing the Francois within Sheeni.
"She's really complex. In the book, she's way more manipulative, and to be frank, bitchy," she says. "When I read the book, I felt for Nick: 'Whew. She's a mean one!' If my guy friend was dating her, I'd say, 'Dump her!'"But I think what made me fall in love with her was that her aloofness is sort of her vulnerability -- she's a really smart person stuck in an environment that she cannot relate to. All she thinks about is moving to Paris. I loved that she's in love with Jean-Paul Belmondo. It's hard being 16 and not being so young anymore but not being old enough to do anything. It was fun to figure out how to play a person who wasn't just one thing." Source: articles.latimes.com

James Dean and Natalie Wood as Jim Stark & Judy in "Rebel without a cause" (1955).

"When you think back on the best movies about teenage rebellion which ones come most immediately to mind? Rebel Without A Cause? Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Pump Up the Volume? Freeway? Ellen Page as Bliss Cavendar in "Whip it" (2009).

The common denominator among them isn’t the degree of trouble the teens cause or the level of drama and danger they find themselves in… instead what makes these movies stand apart from the Whip It’s of the world is the charisma and quality of both the lead character and actor.



Cera fills that gap like a Na’vi warrior fills Smurfette. (I know that’s both nonsensical and obscene, but Avatar is all the rage now so I felt compelled to include it somehow…) He begins the movie in basically the same role he played in Superbad, but when Francois appears Cera manages to steal the movie not only from the other actors but from himself. His demeanor, expressions, voice, and even the way he carries himself all change visibly and dramatically from Nick to Francois. It’s truly the first new and different character Cera has played, and it hints at untapped abilities within the young actor.Michael Cera and Portia Doubleday at the premiere of ''Youth In Revolt'' on January 6, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.

The movie exists in it’s own little universe of style and hipness slightly reminiscent of last year’s (500) Days of Summer. The opening credits convey a trip in claymation, a later car ride is presented via photo cutouts, illustrations leave the page and float into air… director Miguel Arteta does a fine job of limiting the use of such scenes so they never outgrow their welcome. Another important facet of the film is the fine line it walks between innocence and filth". Source: www.filmschoolrejects.com
