'12 Years a Slave' Stuns Telluride: Do We Have an Oscar Front-Runner?
Aug 31st 2013, 13:45, by Chris Willman

The Telluride Film Festival is about nothing if not discouraging a sense of competition. But anyone at the fest representing the films that were riding a wave of Oscar hopes coming out of Cannes had to feel a bit unnerved by the world premiere of Steve McQueen's slave drama "12 Years a Slave," which rode into town Friday night and single-handedly sucked up all the awards talk in the room.

'One Direction: This Is Us' Beating 'Butler,' Hitting High Notes at Box Office
Aug 31st 2013, 15:37, by Todd Cunningham

Sony's concert docu "One Direction: This Is Us" topped the box-office charts with an $8.9 million bullet in its debut Friday. As you'd guess from their screaming, the band's fans -- legions of teenage girls – gave it an "A" CinemaScore, so word of mouth should build over the weekend.

Two other wide openers – the Selena Gomez-Ethan Hawke thriller "Getaway" and spy thriller "Closed Circuit" – were tanking and may not make the top ten.

Meet the Actors Inside Classic Full-Body Costumes
Sep 1st 2013, 01:00, by John P. Hess

Their appearances in film are iconic and yet you never see their face. Here are the actors behind some classic costumed characters.

Dan Richter

Dan Richter

Dan Richter, the Ape from 2001: Space Odyssey (1968, dir.: Stanley Kubrick)

Richter was a poor, vagabond mime when Stanley Kubrick plucked him from obscurity to choreograph and star in the remarkable "Dawn of Man" sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Determined not to rehash the hackneyed tradition of "men in monkey suits," Kubrick was seeking vivid characterizations by believable prehistoric man-apes whose discovery of weapons and violence presages the future of humanity in space. Since the sequence had no dialog, Kubrick felt that mimes could best express the man-apes' motivations and emotions, and Richter's brief audition quickly confirmed the notion.

Decline and Fall
Sep 1st 2013, 00:04, by Jeffrey Wells

I really want to read Robert Koehler‘s thoughts about the gradual dilution of The Artist Known As Terrence Malick, but I have to subscribe to Cineaste in order to do so. The short answer (which I’ve repeated ad infinitum on this site) is that Malick needs a Bert Schneider-type producer who will read him the riot act and slap him around when his flake tendencies go into overdrive, and instead he’s been enabled to death by producers who’ve never said boo.

Manager J.J. Harris Found Dead In Home
Sep 1st 2013, 00:23, by NIKKI FINKE, Editor in Chief

Motion picture and television talent agent J.J. Harris died of what is believed to be natural causes on Friday afternoon and was found today in her Beverly Hills home. At one time among the top women agents and sole practitioner managers in Hollywood, she had notable clients including Kevin Costner, Charlize Theron, Dakota and Elle Fannings, Kate Bosworth, Drew Barrymore, and Scott Bakula. After leaving UTA talent agency and starting her own management company, Harris ran One Talent Management for more than a decade until deciding recently to wind down her business. She recently was spending almost all her time on her longtime confidante and client Costner. It was because of him that her office became worried. “She wasn't returning my calls or texts. Then Kevin called her,” her assistant and co-manager Sharon Vitro tells me. “It’s one thing for her to ignore me. But she doesn't ignore Kevin ever.” Her staff went to her home and discovered her body. MORE
