Five 'Sherlock Holmes' Tales That Should Be Modified Next

Generally, the An Online DetectiveInch movies certainly are a more-or-less faithful adaptation of Mister Arthur Conan Doyles sharp-eyed sleuth, however with a couple of slo-mo bareknuckle boxing thrown in permanently measure. Theres Holmes, cracking wise theres Watson, searching perturbed. Also would you like? As you have seen in this particular lately released clip, hardly any. Watch a distinctive "An Online DetectiveInch clip! But theres more to think about from Doyles original tales when compared to a character sketch together with an environment. Doyles tales were filled with twists, turns, and various plots developed and found the final outcome in many pages. No ones saying the film art galleries need to adapt these tales exactly theyre firmly rooted inside the social attitudes of occasions, and can appear somewhat stilted. Still, theres plenty of concepts and lines and wrinkles to lift for nearly any future An Online DetectiveInch movies. Below, heres five tales we feel might have the preferred effect. 1. The expertise of Red-colored-colored-Headed League: Large movies need minor villains, and theres none quirkier in comparison to self-hired Red-colored-colored-Headed League. The villains were some thieves who contrived to invent a distinctive organization for red-colored-colored-headed males, beneath the guise of defrauding the males who switched as much as use. Getting a few changes, they might be a genuine organization of evil gingers, though that could not play perfectly inside the United kingdom. It may be just bizarre enough to use, and basically irrelevant allowing Holmes to wash them offered by relative ease. Jackie Earle Haley could star since the most dubious red-colored-colored-mind! 2. 5 Orange Pips: Similarly speaking, 5 Orange Pips" finds the Ku Klux Klan terrorizing a close Englishman. In Doyles story, the Klan are treated a great deal a lot more like a mysterious cult in comparison to historic artifact theyre trained as today. Showing them just like a minor presence might be suitable for the time-frame theyd also instantly register just like a villain because of, yknow, the racism. 3. The Hound in the Baskervilles: This really is really the granddaddy of Holmes tales, an entire-length novel while using detectives finest mystery. Its a murder story showing up just like a ghost tale, as Holmes and Watson are classified as towards the and surrounding suburbs to analyze some mysterious deaths within the ft in the so-referred to as Hound. With Holmes and Watson weaving their way through twisted genealogy and double-speaking villagers, theyve arrived at deduce when the Hound is real, which isn't solved prior to the storys climax. It may be a fearsome image on-screen, and packed with tension. Furthermore frightening when compared to a giant ghost dog who eats people? 4. The Knowledge in the Speckled Band: This is often a fairly conventional mystery -- a dying credited for the speckled band," which calculates to become lizard if you do clever sleuthing. But that thought just uses a great chunk of misdirection plus much more deaths, as well as the delivery system -- the lizard crawls using a ventilator after being triggered having a whistle -- is ingenious enough to use. If you want to visualise a dying on-screen, it normally will not convey more jarring than an adder jumping from the vent onto somebody's throat. 5. The Symbol of some: Robert Downey Junior.s had his great deal of issue with substance abuse, which explains why some novelty helmet-eyed bloggers pointed to Tony Starks alcoholism as a bit of meta-casting on Marvels part. This problem might rear its mind in Iron Guy 3," or it will not. But An Online Detective may also be a drug abuser -- inside the original tales, hes quite verbal about the love of cocaine, which wasnt a substantial globally maligned drug inside the 1800s. Inside The Symbol of some,In . Doyle addresses Holmes drug problem quite clearly while he tries to foil a dubious plot such as the Indian Rebellion of 1857, stolen treasure, and secret contracts within the wazoo. The flicks have completely abandoned Holmes addiction, but another movie might hint at his growing mania in a little more dark terms than, Oh, that Holmes, he so crazy." Clearly, that may be a measure too serious of those generally light-hearted adaptations. The essential plot of 4Inch would serve as well since the backbone for just about any third movie, without participating in heady territory. Which "An Online DetectiveInch tales do you want to see modified next? Reveal inside the comments section and also on Twitter!

Holiday parties are the perfect occasion to bring out the shiny metallic and sequin styles. When styling, keep the accessories minimal to keep from looking overdone. A cocktail ring and a classic clutch will complete the look. 2. When choosing a holiday dress, you can always look towards a timeless classic, such as a black and white style combination. Keep the style current and make a dramatic statement this season by choosing a dress that includes additional detailing, such as the Ali Ro striped dress with glamorously beaded neckline. (Selena is wearing this dress in the photoshe added the scarf.) You can create this look yourself by adding a statement necklace to a dress already in your closet to transform the dress into a party ready look. 3. Its all about the accessories. Choose a figure-flattering, solid, basic style and then add the contrast using pops of colorflirty pumps, colorful scarves, gemstone jewels, or an antique clutchdont be afraid to take risks and mix it up. 4. Be daring and go short! Holiday is a great time to show off your legs with a playful mini dress. Add a pair of colored or patterned tights to offset shorter styles and keep things festive. 5. Makeup trends this season focus around the eyes. Be playful, using a colored eyeliner or create sultry cat eyes creating a statement look that will be remembered.

Matt Damon Admits Jeremy Renner Casting On Bourne 4 Was A Surprise

First Published: December 13, 2011 11:20 AM EST Credit: GQ LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Caption Matt Damon on the cover of the January 2012 issue of GQJeremy Renner is gearing up to star in The Bourne Legacy, the fourth installment in the super-agent franchise, playing a new character, and Matt Damon revealed he found out about the casting online. It was a surprise, Matt told the January 2012 issue of GQ, where the We Bought a Zoo star opened up, at length, about what he suggested was drama behind the scenes of the franchise over the years. In the cover story on the actor, Matt explained his departure from the Bourne series (which he hopes to return to at some point) had to do with a fast production schedule on movie No. 4. If you look at the first three movies, we kind of pounded that idea of identity and amnesia into the ground. We really got everything out of it that we could. So to reboot it, we need to come up with something completely new, Matt told mag, noting that he felt they couldnt achieve that goal in Universal Pictures deadline of an 11-month turn around. The generally amiable actor went on to claim that the script he saw for The Bourne Ultimatum, the third film in the series, written by Tony Gilroy, who is directing the fourth, was unreadable. I dont blame Tony for taking a boatload of money and handing in what he handed in. Its just that it was unreadable, Matt claimed to GQ. This is a career-ender. I mean, I could put this thing up on eBay and it would be game over for that dude. Its terrible. Its really embarrassing. He was having a go, basically, and he took his money and left. Despite Matts allegations about the script, which was reportedly changed before the movie was made, the actor said he is hoping the fourth Bourne film is a success. [Im] really pulling for this one, even though I dont have anything to do with it. Selfishly, its bad for me if that movie doesnt do well, he said. When contacted by GQ, a rep for Gilroy sent the mag to Universal Pictures, who issued a comment to the mag supporting both parties. We could not imagine replacing Matt as Jason Bourne, which is why were so excited Tonys script creates a fantastic new character in The Bourne Legacy and also leaves open the option for Matt to return, a Universal rep told the mag. Tony has done everything weve asked of him on each of the Bourne films, and his work has been a huge asset to the franchise.

Globe nods have increased film B.O.

It ain't as with the Academy awards, but a Golden Globes win (as well as nomination) still can boost a film's box office potential.Most frequently the greatest receivers range from niche market, especially photos within the musical or comedy category, in which the Globes repetition their finest shot at kudos glory.This past year, The new sony Pictures Classics' comedy "Barney's Version," which won acting honors for Paul Giamatti, saw considerable expansion within the days following a Globes ceremony. The film made $7.5 million Stateside and ended up playing inside a couple of hundred locations with the Academy awards, despite the fact that it obtained only one nomination (best makeup) using the Academy.Fox Searchlight's 2009 niche B.O. hit "Crazy Heart" nabbed two trophies in the Globes, together with a win for Shaun Bridges. The studio added just 46 locations the weekend following a ceremony, but that weekend the pic saw an enormous 109% uptick versus. the prior frame, generating a lot more than $a million the very first time in a single weekend."Crazy Heart" continued to cume an outstanding $39.5 million locally -- mainly a direct result its eventual winning Oscar run.Also last year, "Precious" were built with a significant push after winning the Globes award for supporting actress. The film have been in theaters for over a month, with almost $40 million already within the up until the weekend from the Globes. But Lionsgate made the decision to take advantage of Mo'Nique's supporting actress win by growing "Precious" the next Friday to the largest location count.

Berenice Bejo on 'The Artist': 'Everyone is Gonna Be So Jealous'

"Who's That Girl?" reads a Variety headline in the early stages of 'The Artist.' The subject of that query is Peppy Miller, an unknown wannabe actress thrust into the limelight when she stumbles, literally, into silent film star George Valentin (Jean Dujardin) outside the premiere of his newest hit. Of course, it's also an apt question for the woman playing Peppy Miller -- Berenice Bejo, the 35-year-old Argentine-born French actress who has been the recipient of her own spotlight this fall as a possible Best Supporting Actress contender for her work in the new film. Who's that girl? Possibly the next big thing. Bejo -- who is the long-time partner of 'Artist' director Michel Hazanavicius, as well as a new mother -- has been a working actress since 1996, but is only now getting some major recognition. That's because she turns Peppy into a whirling dervish of a character -- a strong-willed and kind-hearted female who knows what she wants and stops at nothing to get it, while simultaneously remaining true to herself in the process. This isn't 'All About Eve' territory; Miller, as portrayed by Bejo, is one of the most charming characters you'll likely find onscreen this year. No wonder Bejo in awe of the experience she had while shooting the film. "I feel so lucky," she told Moviefone, while also discussing 'The Artist's' box-office potential, her reaction to the finished film, and why Hazanavicius is such a good director. Michel has said that he needed to convince himself to make 'The Artist.' What did he have to do to convince you? He didn't have to convince me. I really trust him and I admire him as a director and writer, so I was just very excited and very curious to read the script. I couldn't wait. The first time I read the script was in December 2009, and I was like, "OK, I'm the first one." I had meetings and stuff and I had the script and I knew I had the script waiting for me at home. And I laid down on a couch like this and I started reading and I cried. I was like, "Oh my God, I'm so lucky!" He did such a great job. There's something that people don't realize is how hard it was to write the script. To make it so touching and every image. He's been really working hard. Peppy is such a joy -- she's not cynical, she's caring, and even though she's upwardly mobile, she doesn't have a malicious bone in her body. Was that all in the script when you first read it? The only thing not written was the interview scene when Peppy is arrogant and self-aggrandizing. When I read the first draft, I said to Michel that Peppy was too perfect. She was too cute! We needed to see her in a different environment. That's why he wrote that scene -- to give her a real life. We needed that. That scene works because she immediately regrets acting in that way. What I love about her is that she is very faithful to herself and George, even when he's going down. She cares about him all the time -- even when he's not a movie star anymore. She trusts life. Always. She's not calculating anything. She just goes on, and -- if something happens -- she takes life and turns it into a positive. She goes on step-by-step and becomes famous, but she's not like those actresses who are like, "I wanna be famous." She's lovable to men and women. And what I didn't realize when I read the script, is that every scene she's in, she's in action. She's going somewhere, she's doing something. She's never passive. Things never happen to her. She provokes things. As an actress, what did you have to do differently on a silent film? My voice was very high, because I didn't work on my voice. I was like [affects high tone], "That's life!" I would have to apologize to the crew. Then Michel would say, "Come and see the monitor. Don't listen." And I was like, "This is working." I needed to be over the top and really high to find it in the body. You trust the director -- and yourself -- and go. Especially in this kind of movie. How did you think it worked when you saw the finished film for the first time? It was not finished the first time I saw it. I was like, [mouth agape]. The whole movie. I was like, "This is me? In this movie? Everyone is gonna be so jealous." It's true! If I was not in this movie, as an actress, I would be like, "Oh my God. It's never gonna happen again." I don't think there's going to be another silent movie. So it's me and nobody else. I feel very very lucky. Michel said that he used music onset. How much did that help your performance? It felt like you were already in a movie. When you watch a movie, there's music. So, when we're shooting, the crew is watching us playing, acting, with music, so it already felt like a movie. Everybody was in the mood. It was really strange. Everyone was enjoying everything together. When you do a talking movie, it's like "Sound. Quiet." Everyone is like this: [serious face]. The actor's are playing. "Cut!" Then everyone moves again. Here, everyone is enjoying it and laughing and crying. I don't know. The music was loud. I remember we were shooting at Warner Bros. and there was another shoot. And people would stop by and would say, "What is that? This is a French movie? What's the music? That's so cool!" We had "The Way We Were" from Barbra Streisand. Some jazz. Some French music. It just created a mood. It was very special. Very special. The reaction to the film has been uniformly excellent. Does that surprise you at all? I'm not surprised when you see the movie that you like it, but I'm still curious if people are going to come. It will be interesting to see if American audiences show up. I think what's going to appeal to the American audience is that it's about Hollywood. It's a Hollywood love story. A classic. And I think everyone loves Hollywood. And I think an American might be curious to see this French director doing something about their industry. Soon enough you forget it's silent. In two or three minutes you're like, "I'm actually not listening to anything and it doesn't bother me. And I'm having fun." The first 40 minutes happens so fast. So many things happen. It goes on and on and on. The editing is fast. It's very modern. It's a today movie. It just happens to be silent. Plus, it ends with a raucous dance number. How was that to film? I'm not a dancer. It was hard. For five months. I remember that I recorded myself during my first lessons, because I thought, "I'm never going to be able to do anything." It's not possible. I remember looking at the recording. Shuffle, step, shuffle, step. Again and again. I have all those recordings of me and Jean and little by little, you can see the improvement. "I'm doing it! I'm doing it!" It was one take, we did it 18 times, and it was amazing. Michel said just smile. All the way. Look at each other so people won't look at your feet. We actually knew the steps. And we were very focused. Michel was like, "Yeah, that's good, but you're not smiling." Then we started smiling, but we didn't have the steps. Little by little we had to connect the smiling and the feet... Like rubbing your belly and patting your head at the same time. Exactly! Exactly the same! Then when you get it, it's such a pleasure. The film is in the thick of the Oscar race already. Have you given a lot of thought to what it would be like to get nominated for Best Supporting Actress? It's amazing. You're doing this silent, black and white movie. French. And you're suddenly in the running for the Oscar for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writer, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress. You're like, "What? You're sure? OK!" So, whatever happens -- nomination, no nomination, Oscar, whatever -- it's all good already. We feel very honored. Your first American film was 'A Knight's Tale.' What was that like? 'A Knight's Tale' was great. It was a big studio movie. Lots of people on set. Lots of producers. Producers behind the monitor with the director, telling you, "Yes, no, yes, no." It was an American experience. I had 12 weeks of shooting for 10 lines and, maybe, 20 minutes of appearance. So ... but, I liked it! I was there and watching everybody work. I wouldn't imagine doing that again, but we'll see. I imagine this was more fun. Oh, yes!

'Perez,' 'Martes,' 'Amapolas play Primer Corte

MADRID -- Alvaro Viguera's "Perez," Gustavo Trevino's "P martes a martes" and Juan Carlos Melo's "Area of Amapolas" unspool at Primer Corte, a films in first cut showcase at December's Ventana Sur. From 4-year-old Buenos Aires shingle Carrousel Films, which created Natalia Smirnoff's Berlin 2010 Competition player and purchasers hit "Puzzle," "Martes," an ethical drama, activates a lumbering factory worker who witnesses a rape. Probably the most socially-billed of Primer Corte photos, "Amapolas" can also be the very first feature to shoot within the Colombian region of helmer Melo's Narino, our prime flatlands close to the Ecuatorian border. Maja Zimmermann, whose "Porfirio" performed Cannes' Directors' Week, produces with Chirimoya Films' Alexandra Yepes. Presented inside a 15-minute cut at Locarno's Carte Blanche this August, "Amapolas" activates a boy along with a girl who romp in Colombia's beautiful countryside with puppy Rufino. The question "Amapolas" poses is when lengthy that may last. The boy's recently been displaced from his home village by paramilitaries. His father now toils for any drug baron his uncle intends to use him for any scam. "Amapolas" isn't a film about war," stated Melo. "The war is just a stage which existence, dreams and hopes will continue." But when there's a dominant problem in Corte photos this season, it's of more youthful decades of Latin People in america whose parents have unsuccessful them, and -- the grand theme of Latin American cinema -- the insidious impact of macro occasions on innocent lives. Co-created by Gregorio Gonzalez at Chile's Forastero, whose credits include Golden Globe-nominated "The Maid," "Perez" turns, for example, on the father's strained re-encounter using the 22-year-old daughter he's overlooked. Actress Elisa Zulueta composed "Perez," adapting her very own stage play. Helmed by Juan Sebastian Jacome, "Ruta p la luna" comes with an albino boy travelling from Panama And Nicaragua , to Panama for any bowling tourney, supported by his estranged father. "A Hidden Collection," from France-born but South america-based Bernard Attal, transfers Stefan Zweig's 1926 short story, a moving account from the results of Germany's depression, towards the south of Bahia, among destroyed cacao farms. In Uruguayan Guillermo Rocamora's "Solo," an Military trumpeter is abandoned by his wife, then flies towards the Antarctic, a visit that will change his existence for good. Co-funded through the Hubert Bals, Ibermedia and Icau funds, "Solo," at $a million, may be the greatest-allocated of Corte photos. Tested in the beginning cut, Corte game titles vie for any Haciendo Cine award, making certain publish-push services right through to a 35mm print, along with a new award, Copia . Included in Copia , U.S. exhibitor Cinemark will open the winning title in Argentina, Chile and Peru. "Latin American cinema has problems with exhibition all around the region. We must find solutions," stated Liliana Mazure, prexy of Argentina's Incaa Film Institute. Organized by Incaa and Cannes' Marche du Film, Ventana Sur runs 12 ,. 2-5.

Babycall

An SF Norge (in Norwegian)/NFP (in Germany) discharge of a 4 1/2 Fiksjon, The planet pandora Film, BOB Film Sweden production. (Worldwide sales: the Match Factory, Perfume.) Created by Turid Oversveen. Executive producers, Marius Holst, Karin Julsrud, Hakon Overas, Friend Sletaune. Co-producers, Karl Baumgartner, Anna Croneman. Directed, compiled by Friend Sletaune.With: Noomi Rapace, Kristoffer Joner, Vetle Qvenild Werring, Stig Amdam, Maria Bock, Torkil Johannes Hoeg Swensen. (Norwegian dialogue)Friend Sletaune's photos are stylish and creepy, but "Babycall" needs additional time in script kindergarten. A tense tale of the paranoid lady eager to keep her kid from her violent ex-husband, the helmer's 4th feature sometimes feels as though a mix between "The Sixth Sense" and "Shutter Island," but too frequently utilizes a increased atmosphere of dread to spackle over holes that widen substantially upon considering the overstretched premise. Brisk sales (18 worldwide marketplaces and counting) will cheer mental-thriller fans, further attracted by star Noomi Rapace (the "Millennium" trilogy), who nabbed Rome's actress prize. A clearly put up-out Anna (Rapace) and her 8-year-old boy Anders (Vetle Qvenild Werring) get to a barren new apartment, wishing their whereabouts will stay unknown to Anna's ex, who attempted to drown the boy. Anna does not wish to let Anders from her sight as it were, insisting he sleep in her own mattress and just permitting him to visit school because social services will not allow her to train him in your own home. She buys an infant monitor (also called a babycall) from shy but solicitous salesperson Helge (Kristoffer Joner, star of Sletaune's "NearbyInch), making Anders happy since he is able to now sleep in the own room while remaining within earshot. But all of a sudden one evening, Anna is startled with a violent screaming match from the monitor she inspections on Anders, who's fast asleep. The following day at the shop, Helge reassures her the babycall should have acquired another person's monitor. It is a great premise: What parent would not be freaked out? Sletaune develops the environment of mystery, forcing auds to question the character of Helge's motives, the role of Anders' malevolent, inexplicable schoolfriend (Torkil Johannes Hoeg Swensen), and Anna's general frame of mind, even if she confesses to seeing things. All of this creates a superficial level, yet audiences inclined to consider when they watch will not have the ability to shake a nagging suspicion that they are being hoodwinked, notwithstanding the helmer's goal of conflating the actual and also the imaginary. Indeed, the copout resolution is not likely to fulfill anybody, along with a considered reflection around the various elements discloses a number of inexplicable MacGuffins more prone to induce exasperation than chills. Sletaune is skilled at conjuring taut situations having a balance of cold pictures and tight editing, but such motion picture products aren't enough to convince once the plot feels as though a cheat. Rapace keeps the edgy mood choosing her stressed-out perf, climax her moments of quiet vulnerability as opposed to the one-note tension that provide the role some depth. On top of that is Joner's calm playing, which defies tries to place Helge within the good or evil column before the very finish. Pictures feature diffused colors that tend toward frigid blues and grays, Scandinavian cinema's current default mode.Camera (color, widescreen), John Andreas Andersen editor, Jon Endre Mork music, Fernando Velazquez production designer, Roger Rosenberg costume designer, Ellen Ystehede seem (Dolby SRD), Tormod Ringnes, Christian Schaanning connect producers, Guttorm Petterson, Christoph Ott, Michael Weber line producer, Bent Rognlien casting, Celine Engebrigtsen.

Dennis Farina Tries on a New Suit in The Last Rites of Joe May

“There’s a great story about Clint Eastwood in Unforgiven,” said Dennis Farina, in NY recently to discuss his gritty, sensational aging-hustler drama The Last Rites of Joe May. “Clint Eastwood had that script for 15 years and he felt like he wasn’t ready to make it until he got much older, and he understood it better. I’m 68 now, so there’s a certain credibility that comes with just being 60 or 70 years old and your understanding of life.” In writer-director Joe Maggio’s latest film, Farina plays a completely different side of the tough guy we’ve seen previously — a title-role tour de force reminiscent of Mickey Rourke’s comeback in The Wrestler, this broken bull of a man with one last job left in him. On paper Joe May is an ordinary hustler, but the nuanced beauty of Farina’s performance — from his vulnerability to his slivers of humor — deepens the discomfort with each tired, regretful step he takes in Joe’s shoes. Perhaps it’s the hardened determination on the actor’s face, crafted over decades of playing seasoned detectives, gangsters and con men, that familiarizes Joe’s struggle to achieve greatness. In any case, it makes this work unlike anything you would normally expect from a character actor known for decades to step aside to let others shine. And if there’s anything jarring about that vulnerability, it’s seeing Farina as Joe, time and time again, looking for the greener pastures that he was never able to fully graze. “I think Joe is the eternal optimist,” Farina told Movieline. “Everything is a situation to him that he feels that he can overcome, and of course he can’t. He’s living in a time now where things have passed him by. In some of the niceties in life has gone away, which is a little sad. I always felt too if Joe had been successful he might have been one of the other characters that I’ve played in different movies. He might have been the guy in Snatch, but Joe never got over that hump.” We meet Joe May in the final stages of his career, checking out of a hospital after a seven-week battle with pneumonia. With his apartment sold to a single mother, and a failed relationship with his grown son, May has no one to turn to. “I liked the idea that when he came out of the hospital that no one was there waiting for him and he knew that,” Farina said, “and he just goes to this bar and finds out that everybody thought he was dead, which is kind of sad.” Despite it all, Joe continues his life as a hustler even though the world — and, more immediately, con boss Lenny (Gary Cole) — has already cast him aside. On screen it’s like seeing Farina try on the same suit, but with a much better, if unlikely, fit: One scene finds Farina desperately trying to sell lamb on a cold Chicago day, the weather painting the atmosphere desolate while Farina stands alone in the spotlight, where he should have been all along. As he pushes 70, the actor is finally able to distill the truths and tricks he’s acquired while shoring up films like Midnight Run, Snatch, Out of Sight, Saving Private Ryan, Get Shorty and scores of others (to say nothing of TV procedurals from Crime Story to Law & Order) for the majority of his career. It’s as though the performance is anchored in the experience of being underestimated, a key element that Farina plays up to. “It’s rare when you pick something up and you can just connect to it right away,” he said. “You read so many scripts, the good ones really pop out. It’s like a shining star in the sky. When I read it I knew it was different from anything else I have been involved in, and it came around at the right time in my life.” The layers exposed in The Last Rites of Joe May indicate a bright future — particularly in January, when Farina returns to TV in the Michael Mann/David Milch collaboration Luck. The HBO horsetrack drama co-stars Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, bringing to mind Joe May’s lesson that the best surprises (his father-like relationship with his single mother roommate, for example) occur when he isn’t looking for them. The same could be said for Farina’s new profile and deepened perspective of the performance world. “I would just say that you have to be a little Joe May about it,” he said, almost as much for himself as for younger actors and, well, all of us. “Don’t give up, be an eternal optimist, and you’re going to have to learn how to have patience. Above all, probably a sense of humor about everything.” The Last Rites of Joe May is available now on VOD and opens theatrically Friday in NY.

ABC also fared well, seeing slight increases on both Desperate Housewives (9.3 million, 3.1) and Pan Am (5.6 million, 1.9). Once Upon a Time also had a lot to be pleased with during its second outing. Total viewership only slipped by a million, down to 11.6, while losing little hold in adults 18 to 49, earning a 3.9. FOX's animated block returned after a several-week hiatus, with the notable addition of Allen Gregory.

Redbox to boost DVD Rental Cost 20% Daily

Without doubt wishing a fee hike won't engender a Netflix-like revolt among its customers, Redbox stated Tuesday it will raise the cost of leasing standard Dvd disks by 20 % beginning Monday. The announcement came using a pr release that revealed strong earnings and revenue for Redbox parent Coinstar, but traders didn't appear happy. In after-hrs buying and selling, Coinstar shares were sinking a lot more than 12 % after shedding 2 percent to $52.95 throughout the standard session. Traders may be selling shares simply because they keep in mind that when Netflix elevated their prices it lost 800,000 customers and it is stock tanked. Coinstar Boss Paul Davis stated the brand new cost -- $1.20 each day for DVD rental fees, up from $1 formerly -- reflects costs connected with rising operating expenses, including government mandates caused through the so-known as Durbin Amendment which was designed to benefit customers through lower debit-card costs. Redbox stated prices for Blu-ray movies and game titles will stay at $1.50 and $2 daily, correspondingly. "This marks the very first cost increase for any Redbox standard definition DVD rental in eight years," Davis stated. "The modification is mainly because of the rise in operating expenses, such as the recent rise in debit card interchange costs consequently from the Durbin Amendment." Coinstar stated Thursday its profit within the third quarter jumped 90 % to $37 million on revenue that rose 23 percent to $466 million. On the per-share basis, Coinstar gained $1.18, way beyond the 88 cents Wall Street was expecting. Coinstar ended the quarter with 34,400 Redbox DVD kiosks and 19,500 gold coin-counting kiosks. Redbox paid for for $390 million in revenue within the quarter as the gold coin business paid for for $76 million. Related Subjects Netflix

Eddie Murphy, Brett Ratner Conflicted On 'Beverly Hills Cop 4'

FROM MTV MOVIES: There seems to be two varying opinions on whether "Beverly Hill Cop 4" will ever happen. Ask the attached director, Brett Ratner, and he'll tell you he wants to make it happen with Eddie Murphy. But the response is ... rather different if you put the same question to the A-list actor. MTV News recently caught up with Ratner as he promoted "Tower Heist," out this Friday and starring yes, Murphy. The director sounded hopeful about another "Cop" sequel. "I think one day, I'm hoping, because it is one of the most iconic characters ever," Ratner told us. "Eddie does not go anywhere in the world where they're not like, 'Axel Foley, what's up?' more than 'Eddie Murphy.' It is something that our hope and desire is to get it made." Much like he did with MTV News, Ratner has spoken on several occasions about his hopes for a fourth movie featuring the legendary Axel Foley, a Detroit cop who finds himself solving crimes in the very posh Beverly Hills. In the latest issue of Rolling Stone, however, Eddie Murphy tells the magazine that the possibilities for a fourth "Beverly Hills Cop" film are dead. Read the full story at MTV Movies!

'Real Steel' Is Now a Date Movie, According to Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Why go to the movie theater with a bunch of schlubs when you can rent the entire thing out yourself? That's what star couple Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez decided to do when they attended a private screening of -- wait for it -- 'Real Steel' at a multiplex in Canada. Can't say we blame them: If paparazzi cameras were shoved in our face every three seconds, we'd want a little time to ourselves, too. Gomez had been in Winnipeg, Manitoba for her concert tour when she and Bieber were spotted going into the cinema. The Winnipeg Free Press reports that the couple allegedly had cheese pizza delivered to them during the screening as well. Either way, we are surprised with the 'Real Steel' movie pick; 'Footloose' seems like a better choice for a date film. Gomez can be seen next in a cameo role in the upcoming 'Muppets' movie, out Nov. 23.

Piracy act galvanizes sides

As confident as Hollywood's lobby is the fact that a significant bit of anti-piracy legislation might find passage this season, the uncertainty is whether or not a vocal opposition can create any significant turbulence because it makes its way through Congress. On Tuesday, a coalition of economic and labor groups hit Capitol Hill to press the situation the Safeguard IP Act helps you to save jobs, a typical theme nowadays, because it is targeted at halting the trafficking of counterfeit and infringing goods including movies, Television shows and music on the web. The legislation, which passed the Senate Judiciary Committee all in May and it is likely to be introduced this month in the home, is targeted at beefing in the government's capability to seek court orders to seal lower so-known as "rogue" websites, individuals devoted to infringing activities. Additionally, it has provisions to compel payment processors, ad systems, search engines like google and Internet companies to do something to curb support of these sites. "We're not wiped out through the bootlegging of the movie. However, this costs vast amounts of dollars and 100s of 1000's of jobs," stated Paul Almeida, prexy from the department for professional employees in the AFL-CIO, in an event on Capitol Hill. Despite the fact that the Safeguard IP Act to date has bipartisan support -- a rarity inside a polarized Congress -- competitors also provide been anxious to exhibit oneness on the finish. A week ago, Tea Party Patriots arrived on the scene from the bill, and associated with an editorial in the progressive group Demand Progress and also the org Don't Censor the Internet which expressed opposition. Inside a Facebook publish, the Tea Party group authored, "Have your personal website? Maybe the federal government will shut it lower tomorrow ... with no notice for you. Republicans are likely to introduce this in the home, Dems within the Senate. WHAT??? Large Labor, Hollywood, U.S. Chamber of Commerce all within this together...against you." Recently, a lot more than 135 entrepreneurs, including Twitter's Evan Williams and Zynga's Mark Pincus, blanketed congress by having an open letter warning the law will stifle innovation and chill investment. Amongst other things, they contended the bill's meaning of a "rogue" site was too vague. Additionally they reported one of the most questionable provisions from the bill, one which enables private organizations to consider law suit against payment processors and ad businesses that support sites trafficking in infringing material. They contended that this type of provision could hobble online companies with pricey and extended lawsuit, a sentiment shared through the Electronic Devices Assn. Google's Eric Schmidt also offers expressed opposition, and there is suspicion among showbiz insurance supporters that the organization helps third-party groups form more organized opposition. Unclear is whether or not the opposition is going to be enough to slow or stall the legislation. A speaker for Repetition. Lamar Cruz (R-Texas), stated Smith's team is wishing introducing its version from the bill sometime this month, with Repetition. Bob Goodlatte (R-Veterans administration.), chair of the subcommittee on the web, one of the backers. The balance to date has 31 co-sponsors within the Senate, the newest being Sen. Tim Manley (D-S.D.), who added his title on Monday. Its chief opponent is Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), stating First Amendment concerns. He put a "hold" around the legislation soon after it removed the Senate Judiciary Committee. Yet industry insurance supporters still expect it to really make it towards the floor, but now you ask , how Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) would basically bypass Wyden and achieve this by cloture election or whether some type of agreement is going to be arrived at. Advocates stress that support goes well beyond Hollywood, where it's backed by galleries and all sorts of the unions and guilds, for an unlikely alliance which includes the Chamber of Commerce and also the AFL-CIO. Political strategist Mark McKinnon moderated a panel backed through the Chamber on Tuesday that stressed the legislation's effect on the economy in addition to its impact beyond Hollywood. Iowa resident Glenda Billerbeck spoke of a buddy who unconsciously purchased tainted prescription medications from the site offering counterfeit medicine. Panelist Sandra Aistars, professional director from the Copyright Alliance, stated critique from the legislation is comparable to opposition to past copyright legislation. "Many of these issues happen to be rebutted," she stated, observing the offer the legislation has brought from First Amendment lawyer Floyd Abrams. "It's tough to give real credence towards the arguments we're hearing." Another panelist, Dork Tognotti, general counsel of Monster Cable, stated the organization devotes 25 of 500 employees to fighting sites that counterfeit its items. "It will get incrementally worse each week,Inch he stated. The best challenge might be obtaining the legislation on lawmakers' radar screens as Congress takes up deficit reduction and also the sputtering economy. McKinnon, co-chair of Arts+Labs, an org of tech and content companies, stated, "This really is legislation which has very broad bipartisan support. The irony could it be is organized and hidden by problems that are much more contentious." Contact Ted Manley at ted.manley@variety.com

CSI Cheers Up With Ted Danson

Ted Danson, Marg Helgenberger It's hard to imagine Sam Malone from Cheers needing a maggot wrangler. "I've never seen anything like it," Ted Danson says. Even with silver hair, the Emmy-winning actor looks like a kid who just pulled apart his first earthworm. "You can tell how long a human body has been decomposing by the size of the bugs crawling inside!" And the wrangler's got every variety. "It's incredible, until you think, 'Oh, God. We're talking about dead people.'" Everybody's favorite TV barkeep is once again serving cold ones - only now he's zipping them inside body bags. The surprising new choice to head the Las Vegas crime lab on CSI brings an iconic face to the world's most venerable procedural. Danson, also known for Damages and Bored to Death, takes over for Laurence Fishburne as CSI's leading man in Season 12, and hopes to breathe some life back into the formerly top-rated series. Sitting in a conference room dotted with grisly crime photos on the L.A. set, Danson says his biggest challenge is, "How can a guy like me, who looks for the joy in every situation, make the transition to the land of triple homicides?" He shrugs. "And, hey, I'm also a hypochondriac and run from violence - we're talking major stretch." At least everybody knows his name. As new CSI supervisor D.B. Russell, Danson, 63, appears to have transitioned nicely into a cast as tightly knit as any on TV. Three of his new work buddies - Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows), George Eads (Nick Stokes) and Paul Guilfoyle (Las Vegas police captain Jim Brass) - have been part of CSI's cast for all 250-plus episodes. That meant Danson had to work his charm even before he arrived on set. "He called me two or three times just to say, 'Hey, what's up?'" Eads says. "I was like, 'Not much. Um, who's this?' He's, like, 'It's Ted.' I go, 'Ted? Oh, Ted Danson! Sorry, man. How the heck are ya?'" (To further ingratiate himself, Danson has sprung for on-set massages and a shaved-ice truck for the crew.) Helgenberger admits she raised an eyebrow when she heard he was coming to CSI. "You think Ted Danson and you mainly think comedy," she says. "But pretty quickly, I said, 'OK, yeah, that makes sense.'" Word around Hollywood after Fishburne's departure last summer was that CBS would cast another intense actor. But with ratings flagging - the show finished at No. 30 last season among viewers ages 18 to 49 - it was time for a reboot. "We wanted to get back to the excitement of the first few seasons and Ted fits our needs exactly," says executive producer Carol Mendelsohn. "Having Ted around brightens every scene and adds a deeper emotional layer than we've seen in many years." Still, even Danson was surprised. He received the offer last summer as he was waiting to see a movie in Martha's Vineyard, where he and his wife, actress Mary Steenburgen, have a vacation house. Danson had been looking for ways to avoid traveling for work now that he has grandchildren in L.A. A weekly gig on an established show was a no-brainer. "The lights in the theater were going down so I didn't have long to react," he says. "My first thought was 'Wow.' My second thought was 'Yes!'" D.B. Russell isn't like other CSIs. After blustery boss Gil Grissom (William Petersen) and divisive newbie Ray Langston (Fishburne), Russell looks like Mr. Happy. His slowly unfolding backstory is that he's a former lit major and child of beatnik folk singers who comes to Vegas from Seattle with his still unseen wife and four kids. "What we love is that Russell is unconventional and at odds with authority, having grown up going to peace rallies and sit-ins," Mendelsohn says. "But he's also a devoted family man who thrives on the chaos of the lab because he's raising a bunch of teenagers." To prepare for the role, Danson flew to Vegas to witness a real autopsy, a moment he calls a spiritual experience. "I held a guy's skull in my hands as another guy scooped his brain out," he says. "It was an incredible reminder of how valuable and fragile life is. This sort of work forces you to reflect on every moment you're alive." Later on the set, Danson and Helgenberger, in requisite rubber gloves, are going through a box of evidence in the CSI lab. The scene is for an upcoming episode called "CSI Down," and they're looking for clues to track a murder suspect who just hijacked a medevac helicopter. Helgenberger seems as cool as the steel table below her, but Danson is keyed up. He's flubbed a few takes and now wants to open the scene mid-sentence to make it feel more conversational. His agitation is useful since Russell is desperate to save CSI Morgan Brody (Elisabeth Harnois), who is on board the helicopter. Two more takes and Danson nails it. "In comedy, you never have to say, 'OK, so this is what we're going to do,'" he says afterward. "Here, the dialogue is all about laying pipe for the next scene. It takes some getting used to." Helgenberger is quick to defend him: "Ted's a pro. He already feels like part of the fabric of the show."

"I want to see a person that's like myself and my friends who doesn't have all their shit figured out and probably drinks too much at a work function, like tonight!"

New Study Shows Brad Pitt's 'Moneyball' Generating Oscar-Level Buzz Online (Exclusive)

Sony Pictures I have learned that BoxOffice.com, a popular and widely trusted website that specializes in predictions and analysis of movie box office figures, will release a special report to its subscribers later today about Moneyball, the baseball drama starring Brad Pitt that will open in theaters this Friday. According to the release, Moneyball is generating even more buzz on social-networking sites than The Social Network, another Scott Rudin-produced film that hit theaters almost exactly a year ago (Moneyball will open one week earlier) and wound up grossing nearly $225 million and scoring eight Oscar nominations, three of which resulted in wins. BoxOffice.com editor Phil Contrino tells me that the site has been tracking Facebook and Twitter activity since May 2010, and based its conclusions -- which he says are statistically significant -- on stats gathered from monitoring the two sites over the weekend before the films opened. On Facebook, The Social Network received 34,645 "likes" within that period, whereas Moneyball received 64,073. On Twitter, meanwhile, the former was the subject of 4,120 Tweets, whereas the latter was mentioned in 5,264. STORY: 'Moneyball': What the Critics Are Saying What does it all mean? "It shows that Moneyball has genuine breakout potential," says Contrino, who predicts that the audience for that film will skew older than it was for The Social Network. "Adults are clearly hungry for serious-minded flicks with Oscar buzz after a summer full of movies aimed at teens. Just look at how well Midnight in Paris and The Help did at the box office." FILM REVIEW: 'Moneyball' He adds, "The idea of putting Pitt in a sports movie could turn out to be a brilliant one. Women who normally wouldn't go for a brainy baseball flick won't get dragged to this one kicking and screaming." Brad Pitt Moneyball
