Helmer's solid look at Solidarity

Andrzej Wajda's biopic 'Walesa,' about the man who brought Poland self-determination and helped bring down the Soviet Union, is based on the book by Janusz Glowacki. Andrzej Wajda likes to quote Lech Walesa when describing why he is making a film about his lifelong friend, who led Polish dockworkers in challenging the Soviet Union, eventually bringing on the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989. "I don't want to," says Wajda, "but I must."Walesa used the line to describe his role in heading the historic Solidarity movement from the Gdansk pier. And if Wajda really doesn't want to take the project on, he's doing a remarkable job of hiding his regrets.The 85-year-old director, who has made more than 50 features, has just begun shooting "Walesa," adapting material from a book by Janusz Glowacki and focusing on the first 20 years following the rise of the civil rights movement known to Poles as Solidarnosc.The Polish media, which has been eagerly anticipating the project for years, is abuzz."My aim is to show Polish people the truth," says Wajda. "If it's accepted in the Western world, that's a bonus. But my aim is primarily here."Wajda has long been willing to take on subjects of historic proportions that other filmmakers shy away from. His 2009 feature, "Katyn," told the heartrending backstory to the most notorious massacre of Polish heroes in recent history -- the mass execution of the Polish army's elite officer corps who had moved east in 1940 to join the Soviets in battling the invading Nazis.The crime, covered up for decades, claimed Wajda's own father.His new film will show some a Lech Walesa they don't yet know, but will also surprise many who think they know all about the docks demonstrator-cum-president.The interrogations Walesa underwent while being held in prison following the riots of 1970 are just one example."You can divide the life of Lech Walesa into parts," Wajda says. "The first is when he was standing at the gates in Gdansk. The second part was when he cooperated with martial law."The helmer and mentor to students at the Wajda School of filmmaking in Warsaw believes that the young, naive Walesa's agreeing to meet with authorities was important because it provided him a platform for conveying the wishes of ordinary Poles."The third part was when he faced the authorities at a round table, and they were forced to make an accommodation to the working people."But, like many important figures in the pro-democracy movement around the former East bloc, Walesa's transition to political leader was hardly smooth."The moment he became president, people came out and said, 'Why is he the one to be president? Maybe I should be president. I am maybe better educated.'?"Wajda says Walesa should have gotten more in touch with the people standing behind him. He believes Poles' love of vigorous argument was also a factor that undermined Walesa's authority.That said, Walesa proved prescient in his ability to outmaneuver what was then the most omnipotent power in the region, the Soviet Union."There are some who have talent for politics like others have talent for filmmaking," Wajda says. "They see further into the future. Walesa's talent in politics was remarkable. So many people were saying what should we do? When I went to the shipyard where the negotiations were taking place, I approached him and said, "Are you sure you aren't going too far with this? Do you know what you're doing? What if the Russian tanks come?"He said, "There will be no tanks." And that's just how it ended. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Oscar Index: Enough About Bridesmaids, Already

Screw Christmas. Forget Hanukkah. To hell with New Year’s. There is only one holiday we celebrate in the dank, windowless labs of Movieline’s Institute for the Advanced Study of Kudos Forensics, and that is Oscar Night. Thus the latest edition of Oscar Index, offering all the festive year-end joy you can possibly stand. Let’s get to it! [Click the graphs for full-size images.] The Leading 10: 1. The Artist 2. The Descendants 3. The Help 4. Hugo 5. Midnight in Paris 6. War Horse 7. Moneyball 8. The Tree of Life 9. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close 10. Bridesmaids Outsiders: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; The Ides of March; Drive; Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; My Week With Marilyn; Margin Call; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 First things first: As usual, the Oscar Index reflects buzz and chatter among the awards cognoscenti. But honestly?_Bridesmaids_ is not going to be nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. OK? It is not going to happen. The only reality I take away from reading such suggestions at Gold Derby is that the likes of Tom O’Neil, Dave Karger, Peter Travers and a handful of others claiming to be that site’s “Oscar experts” are in fact garden-variety lushes on their 146th glass of egg nog at the office holiday party. Back away! Yes, it drew a Best Picture - Musical Comedy nomination at the Golden Globes — because that’s what the Musical/Comedy category is for. Bridesmaids is a very funny and successful (if overlong, but hey) film, and this is the Golden Globes. It is not the Academy Awards, where it would face the likes of The Tree of Life, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close(which we’ll get to in a second) and even The Ides of Freaking Golden Globe-Hustling March in the scramble for a Best Picture Oscar nod. Not to be a snob about it, either — the numbers don’t even add up! Let Steve Pond explain: It’ll take about 60 first-place votes (actually, closer to 50) to get through the first round. Even if it does that, it’ll need about 250 votes to get a nomination — and with a new system that severely limits the opportunities to move up if you don’t have the votes right away, those 250 votes are going to have to come from the #1 and occasionally #2 spots on the ballot. Even the people who like it don’t like it that much, it’s not gonna happen. Thank you! Anyway, you will no doubt hear many more rumblings of this sort emanating from the awards conversation in the weeks to come, and they’ll all dutifully echo the talking points found at places like The Carpetbagger (“In the coming weeks, as nominees for the Writers Guild and Producers Guild awards are announced, the volume of affection for Bridesmaids in Hollywood will be revealed…”), and culturally speaking, you’ll think, “Huh! What if?” But logically speaking — hell, mathematically speaking — there is only one appropriate response, one you will find yourself repeating and repeating throughout the bleary-eyed days to come: Give me a fucking break. Now that that’s out of the way, what are we to make of the true impact of last week’s Golden Globe Award nominations on this year’s Oscar race? It’s the ageless question, really, resulting in the equivalents of everything from ruminative chin-scratching to dismissive jerk-off motions. Honestly, as THR’s Scott Feinberg and I discussed in his podcast this week, there’s only so much you can slam the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. So what if they sold a table to recognized the team behind The Ides of March? The film is good! Why shouldn’t it wind up back in the mix, however compromised we consider its HFPA loyalties? Moreover, why shouldn’t we read the continued wide-scale oversights of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close — an 0-fer among both the SAG Award and Golden Globe nominations — as an indication of its stillbirth in the race? The campaign’s defensiveness is clear from the inside out; after all, less than two weeks ago we had producer Scott Rudin blowing off the awards-bait speculation as irrelevant (“It’s a movie, not a worm on the end of a hook,” he told the NYT). Then two days ago, not long after ELAIC’s less-than-optimal Academy screening (“[I] can’t see it advancing much if that’s the kind of reaction it’s getting from members,” one voter told Pond), along comes another NYT piece laying out just how ELAIC can backdoor its way into Best Picture contention with the minimum amount of time and votes. Never mind the intellectual dishonesty of it all; this the Oscars we’re talking about, not the Nobel Prize for Economics. Just take a moment to breathe in the panic as The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and War Horse launch into the holiday-movie consciousness while the ELAIC crew still fiddles with their fuse. I mean, it’s almost Christmas, and we’re still talking about Bridesmaids, for Christ’s sake. Meanwhile, Moneyball enjoyed a slight boost, with more love for Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill nudging it just over Pitt’s other Best Picture hopeful The Tree of Life. Elsewhere, it also bore noting that no film since Braveheart has won a Best Picture Oscar without first earning a Best Ensemble nomination from the Screen Actors Guild. That’s not especially good news for Hugo, which nevertheless retains all the signs of a sure Academy nominee. But with The Help collecting seven total acting nominations between SAG and the HFPA, a momentum shift is afoot. And I know what you’re thinking, Team Bridesmaids — “But what about our ensemble nomination?” What about it? You’re drunk. Go pass out, already. You won’t remember any of this in 2012, and I promise not to remind you. The Leading 5: 1. Michel Hazanavicius, The Artist 2. Alexander Payne, The Descendants 3. Martin Scorsese, Hugo 4. Steven Spielberg, War Horse 5. Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris Outsiders: Bennett Miller, Moneyball; Stephen Daldry, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close; David Fincher, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo; Tate Taylor, The Help; Nicolas Winding Refn, Drive Congrats to Miller for his first Index appearance of 2011-12, which, despite Allen’s redoubtable hold and the perennial lurking of Daldry and Fincher, I doubt will be the Moneyball filmmaker’s last. Other than that, this “race” is about as allergic to interesting as it’s been all year.

Take advantage of Lowe Ink Deal for Second Book

Jemal Countess/Getty Images A Croatian journalist's suit against Julia Roberts for allegedly stealing his book to produce her directorial debut won't hinder the December 23rd release ofIn the Land of Bloodstream and Honey.our editor recommendsAngelina Jolie Discloses Inspiration Behind Her Directorial Debut, 'In the Land of Bloodstream and Honey' (Video)Julia Roberts and 'Kung Fu Panda 2' Director Jennifer Yuh Nelson on Hollywood's Female Director Deficit, New 'Kung Fu Panda 3'Angelina Jolie Prosecuted For Copyright Violation Over New Film James Braddock, the complaintant, has withdrawn his motion for any temporary constraint order following the film's distributor impressed the judge with arguments about why the motion for temporary injunctive relief was defective. PHOTOS: THR Cover Tales With Julia Roberts, Christian Bale Braddock claims that Jolie's film infringes the copyright on his 2007 book, The Soul Breaking. Both works tell the storyplot of the female character who's jailed and susceptible to much abuse in war-torn Bosnia in early the nineteen nineties.Braddock alsoclaims he talked about his work at length using the film's Bosnian producer before Jolie's movie is made. A week ago, Braddock filed an ex parte motion for any temporary constraint order to avoid the film's release, which trigger the accused, including distributor FilmDistrict, to lodge an objection. COVER STORY: Julia Roberts and 'Kung Fu Panda 2' Director Jennifer Yuh Nelson on Hollywood's Female Director Deficit It had been noted that Braddock had symbolized he understood about the building of the film since early 2010. But rather than filing a suit in those days, Braddock had anxiously waited to file a lawsuit until a couple of mere days prior to the film's theatrical debut. U.S. District Judge Robert Dow, Junior. in Illinois stated inside a hearing a week ago that there have been valid concerns concerning the timing from the suit and recommended the late filing will be a consideration when analyzing stocks, harm and also the public interest. The judge also noted the complaintant hadn't yet proven that "immediate and permanent harm would result" in the film's release and hadn't yet shown the opposing parties have been observed. PHOTOS: 5 of Hollywood's Female Company directors to understand Braddock then under your own accord withdrew his motion for any TRO. Theoretically, Braddock could renew his push to have an injunction after treating a couple of procedural defects, but he likely won't, not minimal from the reasons being he'd need to publish a considerable bond just in case he eventually lost the suit. (The judge established that the complaintant had unsuccessful to go over that aspect too in the TRO motion.) But at this time, Braddock faces a much greater threat to his suit within the movie. Judge Dow has purchased the complaintant's lawyers to show inside a brief by tomorrow explaining why the situation should proceed in Illinois federal court once the link with the jurisdiction, based on the judge, "seems to become minimal, at best." The parties within the situation are located in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina in addition to California, therefore the judge has established that he's leaning to towards moving the situation to some federal court within the Golden Condition. The transfer will be a small victory for Jolie and also the film's producers. It might permit them to fight the suit on home turf that recently continues to be dubious about these kinds of copyright violation claims. In most cases, litigants getting the suit happen to be purchased to pay for attorney's costs for that defense. For the time being, Braddock provides an internet site that discusses the debate. And Jolie has had the lawsuit in stride, stating that she's never browse the complaintant's book, that they required her inspiration from many sources, which the suit is "componen for that course. It takes place on nearly every film."

Allison Janney on The Help, Her Mentor Paul Newman and Overindulging in Eggnog This Holiday Season

After approximately eighty roles in television and film, four Emmy awards, two Tony nominations and countless Kaiser Permanente ads, the inimitable Allison Janney has certainly earned her place among Hollywood’s best character actresses. In her most recent film, the Civil Rights-era comedy-drama The Help — Tate Taylor’s adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s novel — the Ohio-bred thesp channeled her own mother to play the worrisome mama bear to Emma Stone’s boundary-pushing protagonist. In lesser hands, Charlotte Phelan could have been a thin character — a Southern woman more concerned with her daughter’s marital prospects than her happiness — but Janney summoned fear, humor and subtlety for a fully-fleshed and fully-flawed character who earns her personal growth. In celebration of The Help’s home-video release this week, the quadruple Emmy winner phoned Movieline to reminisce on her character’s cure for lesbianism, her one television role that changed lives and the time Paul Newman cast her in college — all while suffering a bit of a holiday-season hangover. You’ve been in so many films and television shows; do you ever just turn on the television and flip through five consecutive channels that are airing Allison Janney projects? No! I’ve never had that happen. I have seen that American Beauty or one of my movies is on but I’ve never seen them coincidentally on at the same time. That would be amazing. Do you stop and watch? No, I usually don’t, I have to tell you. I’m one of those actors who doesn’t like looking at themselves. Years after I can. I can look at Drop Dead Gorgeous now and say, “Oh my God! I know I was playing trailer trash but I didn’t look so bad.” I can look at American Beauty. I just need some time to transpire. That being said, if I do watch, it won’t be to watch myself. It’ll be to have all of those memories come back and to remember what it was like filming. That’s what lingers. The Help was based on a book, but did you base your character on anyone you know in real life? I think most of my characters have my mother’s sensibility in there. She’s someone who always inspires me and informs my characters because I think she is heartbreakingly funny. She doesn’t try to be funny but her commitment to the things she thinks are important sometimes [are funny]. When Charlotte tells [Emma Stone’s character] Skeeter that there is a root tea that could cure her if she is a lesbian. Those moments are just very fun for me to play. I love playing the tragically uninformed and stuck-in-their-ways types. I also related to Charlotte in that I have too much fear in my life. I’m afraid of change. That’s how I really got into her character — because I knew what it’s like to not want anything to change. That’s all life is though is change. I just want to hold onto things too tightly and I think that Charlotte would too. I was so grateful to Tate for giving her some redemption at the end since that wasn’t in the book. It was wonderful to get two moments — the one when I dress down [Bryce Dallas Howard’s character] Hilly and throw her off of the porch and the moment where she finally sees her daughter for who she really is and not for who she wants her to be. That was a great moment to get to play. She was a really rewarding character to play because I got to do a 180 and completely change. She was an amazingly complicated character to get to play. What’s your history with Tate? This movie was kind of like a family business. Tate and I have known each other since 1988. Octavia [Spencer] as well, and of course [author] Kathryn [Stockett] and Tate grew up together in Jackson. We knew Kathryn through Tate. Brunson Green, who is one of the producers is a dear friend of ours too. We’re all really good friends. We made a lot of really low-budget movies on weekends or whenever we got together, so for this to happen is just an unlikely Hollywood story. It’s very satisfying — the loyalty and friendship, which were some themes in the movie too. I’m glad you were able to film in Mississippi and not Los Angeles as Mississippi. That was so important. That informed the acting and the characters. Being down there just felt more authentic in your role. To be in these houses and these great locations — people opened up their homes and we were filming in these big, old houses with beautiful wrap around porches. It really was 114 degrees and you’ve got corsets on. I feel like now, if I ever have to do a show on Broadway that is set in the South, I will know what that is. It just really gives you a good foundation. It feels like you’re in a different country down there, I swear. Knowing the history of what happened down there — it’s just a shameful part of our history. To be down there — I don’t know what I’m trying to say. I’m sorry, I’m so hungover. [Laughs] What did you do last night? I went to a tree-trimming party and I think I ended up trimming myself a little bit. Sorry! What were you asking? Let’s change direction: As an actor, are you able to use your acting abilities in real-life situations? Are you a convincing liar or able to dial in a dramatic performance with a customer service rep to get your way? You know what, I’m terrible without a script in front of me. I can’t. I wish! That’s why I’m an actor though because I love having everything written out for me and I can just say it. Even just talking to you now, it’s frustrating because I can’t ever finish a sentence or finish a thought. It’s very frustrating. I wish. My friends though — they would tell you that I can be overly dramatic, especially after a couple of egg nogs. [Laughs] You starred in the last Diabo Cody-Jason Reitman collaboration. Have you seen Young Adult yet? I have not, and I can’t wait to see it. I know it’s going to be amazing. I wish I could have been in it, but I can’t wait to see it. They were both so wonderful to work it. I can’t wait to see The Descendants too. There are a lot of good movies this year! The Artist, I want to see that. What else? I’m excited for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. That’s right! When does Mission Impossible come out? I think next Friday in IMAX. Oh, it’s going to be in IMAX? That’s going to be fantastic. I will wait in line to see that. It’s amazing that in spite of your lengthy filmography, you haven’t worked with Tom Cruise yet. You’re right. I’ve never worked with him, and I don’t think I’ve ever met him either. Nope, I never have. I used to work out with Katie [Holmes] at Barry’s Boot Camp, here in the Valley. She was in the same class as me. But that’s the closest I’ve been to Tom Cruise. It’s been five years since The West Wing ended, yet that series is still very dear to a lot of people. Do you carry any bits of C.J. Cregg with you? I love her. I wish that I carried more of her with me than I actually do. She is kind of my hero. What a great woman to get to play! I wish that she could have lived on and done other things. She’s just such a truly great role model for women and that’s one of my characters and one of those instances where you felt like you got to give back. I feel like I really got to inspire young girls. I get so many letters and see people on the street who come up to me and say, “Oh my God. You changed my life. I was majoring in this and I changed it to this and now I’m going to work in Washington.” Aaron Sorkin really inspired a lot of people with that show. Getting to play C.J., that was an important female role on television and I am still really, really proud of it in a different way than I am of my other characters. Like in Mr. Sunshine, I loved my character, but she was the exact opposite. C.J. will always be the role that I’m maybe most proud of in terms of what it said to the world. Are you looking to get back into television? I am. I’m looking at some other shows now figuring out what’s going to become a reality for me. I very much want to be back on television and I’m actively looking for the right script for me. I’m chomping at the bit. I’m a worker bee — I need to be working all of the time, so I’d love to find a home for awhile on a good television show. Are you thinking drama? Premium cable drama? Oh, I’ll go either way. I don’t care. I particularly like things that have a healthy dose of comedy and drama. I like things that are a little messy and complicated, not just punchline-punchline-punchline. I’m not a fan of [the sitcom format] as much. I don’t know if I’ve ever done that, other than, I suppose Mr. Sunshine. As long as the writing is great, I will go anywhere. Finally, is it true that Paul Newman cast you in one of your first plays while you were in college? Yes it is. He had gone to Kenyon College and he came back to christen the brand new theater there by directing the first play. I read for him, he cast me and he and Joanne Woodward kind of became my mentors as I started off in this world of acting. When I came to NY, Joanne got me into the Actor’s Studio. She directed a group of actors and formed a company and gave us the opportunity to act as a young actor. Usually, you have to find agents. Everything is such a catch-22 when you’re starting out with Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward’s support — it’s a great leg up in this business. I know you have about four movies in post-production. Which one are you most excited for audiences to see? The Chris Colfer movie, Struck By Lightning is a beautiful, beautiful movie that I’m very proud to be a part of. Josh Radnor’s movie Liberal Arts is going to Sundance, and I’m excited about that. I’m anxiously awaiting both of those movies, and I think that they are going to do really well.

New John Carter Trailer Online

'That don't seem like a reasonable fight...'After newer and more effective photos which fresh poster, the all-out publicity barrage for John Carter ongoing apace on Wednesday using the arrival from the second official trailer. Have a gander below.Finding Nemo/Wall-E veteran Andrew Stanton continues to be toiling within the film for a few years, mixing studio use desert location shooting plus some hefty CGI to create Edgar Grain Burroughs' tale of the dispirited Civil War veteran (Taylor Kitsch) who finds themself moved towards the planet Barsoom. Or, once we prefer to refer to it as on the planet, Mars.Then, he rapidly becomes confused inside a energy struggle and finds both buddies (including Willem Dafoe's multi-limbed Tars Tarkas) and opponents (Mark Strong's Matai Shang, in the looks of the trailer). Signal conflict! Signal large air ships! Signal animals of dimensions!The very first promo was much more about mood than plot even though there's still very little story on show here, there's a minimum of a bit more when it comes to what Carter themself faces. And since we are getting nearer to the movie's release date, there's more CG eye chocolate displayed.Peterson faces a large challenge to conquer both fans from the book and beginners who hear Barsoom and think it is a new Russ Meyer tribute pic.

"Repeat after me for your 17th or 37th time -- 'The Artist' is all about re-creation, backward visitation rights privileges and reflective surfaces," written an irate Jeffrey Wells after 'The Artist' won Best Picture within the NY Film Experts Circle on Tuesday. "It provides and radiates nothing that's truly a unique, apart from a necessity to provide entertainment-people a enjoyable enjoyable time. Which isn't nearly enough to warrant a Best Picture prize. Shame round the NYFCC in by doing this ... shame!" A movie that desires to give "entertainment-people" a "nice enjoyable time" winning an award for top Picture within the NYFCC? That's uncommon! (Or else.) Regardless, Wells -- who is now offering 'The Artist' ranked fifth on his Best Picture charts at GoldDerby.com and doesn't dislike the film -- is definately not being alone within the mind-itchiness inside the deafening Oscar buzz for Michel Hazanavicius's quiet-film curio. Meaning the backlash for the charming indie -- of a quiet film star going to terms along with his dwindling fame -- has started, under 7 days after its release. Make no mistake: 'The Artist' does well financially. Through November. 28, the film has acquired a very respectable $224,366 from four theaters in NY and La. Supposing $13 ticket prices, meaning roughly 17,000 people have paid out to find out 'The Artist.' Congratulations, 17,000 people! You understand the film is sincere, sentimental, sweet and funny -- a throwback that honors classic Hollywood conventions in the new-old way. The Oscar warmth surrounding 'The Artist' -- and Hazanavicius, additionally to stars Jean Dujardin, Berenice Bejo and ... Uggie your pet! -- is deserved and extremely real. Ultimately, every year with handful of faves, 'The Artist' might be the main one film that everyone eventually ends up tallying about it draws in the old Academy voters who would like to can remember the past, as well as the new Academy voters who would like to recognition a young mind like Hazanavicius, the 44-year-old director behind the hipster-approved 'OSS 117' films. It's like 'The King's Speech' and 'The Social Network' in one movie! All the best overcoming that combination, 'War Horse' and 'The Descendants'! So, how would you don't let yourself be very disappointed by 'The Artist' if you see it eventually through the following three several days? (So when you want movies, you will observe it this factor is basically stored set for seven or maybe more Oscar nominations.) Simple: by reading through with the backlash! Wallow within it, if you are in a position to. Since debuting within the Cannes Film Festival in May, 'The Artist' remains recognized by experts just like a marvel to the level of near unanimity. That authors like Wells and several other brave souls are now being launched in the film's Oscar bona fides is exactly what needed to occur for general audiences. Ultimately, if decide to see 'The Artist' after reading through through its fawning reviews, after which it realize it is only ("only") a basic film getting a tale as old as Hollywood itself, you will probably be pretty upset. (File that under: There's nothing worse than inflated anticipation.) Now, you might put lower money to find out 'The Artist' after some of trepidation. That's good! It relieves some pressure. "Us citizens tend to be relaxed," mentioned Dujardin in the recent interview with Moviefone in regards to the film's box-office potential in the united states. "Films certainly are a spectacle [to Us citizens. Entertainment. Here, people comment live. They laugh. They live it. This is actually the best gift you might have.In . That, and several well-timed backlash. [Photo: TWC] Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook

Silvio Berlusconi Makes Surprise Appearance at Woody Allen Premiere

New Films International Jesse Eisenberg has filed a lawsuit against Lionsgate and Grindstone Entertainment for allegedly turning his less-than-five-minute cameo in the horror flick Camp Hell into an above-the-title star turn. The actor is using the Los Angeles Superior Court to make a point. According to the complaint, "Eisenberg is bringing this lawsuit in order to warn his fans and the public that, contrary to the manner in which Defendants are advertising the film, Eisenberg is not the star of and does not appear in a prominent role in Camp Hell."our editor recommends'Jersey Shore': Jesse Eisenberg and John Lithgow's Secret Audition Tapes (Video)'Jersey Shore's' The Situation Tries to Pick up Jesse Eisenberg on 'Tonight Show' (Video)Jesse Eisenberg Admits He 'Cried Every Day in First Grade' And oh yeah, he demands $3 million in damages, more than the budget of the film. Eisenberg's lawsuit starts out with a prologue worthy of the horror genre: "No good deed goes unpunished." PHOTOS: 10 Biggest Book-to-Big Screen Adaptations of the Last 25 Years According to the lawsuit, filed by Marty Singer, Eisenberg agreed to perform for one day at minimal compensation (about $3,000) as a favor to friends, who were producing and directing the low budget film. That happened in 2007, before Eisenberg garnered an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Social Network as Mark Zuckerberg, a guy who builds a website that redefines publicity and privacy before getting sued by his best friend and some Winklevii. Eisenberg's own friends allegedly couldn't resist the temptation of using the actor's newfound fame to advertise Camp Hell. VIDEO: Awards Watch Roundtable: The Actors When the DVD was released on August 9, the cover allegedly featured Eisenberg's name in large letters above the title of the film over a large photo of Eisenberg's face superimposed on an image of cabins in the woods. This, despite the fact that he only appears for a couple minutes in the film, about a deadly demonic infestation at a Christian bible camp. Now, Eisenberg is alleging his right of publicity was misappropriated, saying the defendants' use of his name and photograph exploited him for financial gain. The California law on publicity rights bars commercial use of someone's likeness without "prior consent." Eisenberg's complaint, however, is silent on the terms of his agreement to appear in the film beyond his compensation. The lawsuit struggles to live up to its billing as a dispute over publicity rights, quantum meruit, and unfair business practices. Instead, the lawsuit sometimes resembles a consumer class action, saying that the producers are "continuing to perpetrate a fraud on the public," that Eisenberg's fans and the public "should be protected" from false advertising, and that by misusing Eisenberg's likeness, the producers "fraudulently induce his fans to purchase a copy of the DVD of the Picture." Over-hyping an actor's screen time isn't totally unheard of. Movies that feature actors who went on the big stardom often play up their role (even if it's small) to sell DVDs once the actor hits it big. And in Psycho, for example, Alfred Hitchcock killed off above-the-title star Janet Leigh before the first half of the film wasover. Obviously, that shock was rendered for great dramatic effect as few theatergoers went screaming for a refund. Eisenberg thinks that the Camp Hell shocker, by contrast, merely added up to one hell of a disappointment. Three million dollars to be precise.

Casting Standout: 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'

Casting Standout: 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' By Dany Margolies November 28, 2011 Photo by Focus Features James Bond is glamorous, tech savvy, and catnip to women. George Smiley isn't. Created by John le Carr, this other iconic British spy is brilliant, talented, and deeply responsible, yet life has crushed him. He's now introverted, unprepossessing, and trying to disappear into late-middle-age retirement. And then, a young field agent learns the British intelligence service has a molea double agent working for the Sovietsand Smiley is suddenly and secretly called into active service.Le Carre's mesmerizing novel "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (indeed, he wrote a series of Smiley novels) also birthed the BBC's 1979 miniseries starring Alec Guinness as Smiley. And those who thought the casting of those episodes could never be improved upon must think again. In this new version, under the stewardship of director Tomas Alfredson and casting director Jina Jay, the individual actors were flawlessly selected and integrate seamlessly together to create the denizens of Britain's CircusLe Carr's fictitious secret intelligence service that stands in for what is today known as MI6.To cast "Tinker Tailor," Jay first explored with Alfredson and producer Robyn Slovo the individual characters and their specific feelings. Then Jay came up with a shortlist of suggestions, accompanied, she says, by "discussions on my favorite ideas for the role." Of the start of casting, she says, " 'Tinker' was a blank canvas from top to bottom. No one was attached, and no one had any agenda other than creatively casting the best possible talent for each role and the best possible ensemble for the world of the story."Who better than Gary Oldman could create the unlikely hero? Oldman is the actor who can keep roiling emotions under tight wraps, who can make endlessly fascinating the stillness that forms the spine of the plodding George Smiley.

Oh, what vets! The translucent John Hurt plays the man known only as Controlthe ailing, pained, kicked-in-the-gut former head of the Circus. Mark Strong is menacingly strong indeed as British spy Jim Prideaux, physically and emotionally crippled by the mole's betrayal of him. The intensely masculine Ciarn Hinds is Roy Bland, the lumbering, workmanlike, chain-smoking head of the Eastern Bloc spies. Swedish star David Dencik is Toby Esterhase, the Hungarian expat turned British spy, the unwitting courier of the "little sealed packets" containing the information and the misinformation that found their way back to Moscow. Kathy Burke is Connie Sachs, former devoted head of Research, who spent her life collecting and memorizing data in the pre-computer days and who is now called upon to regurgitate facts about a certain Russian living in London. The multihyphenate, ridiculously capable Simon McBurney is Oliver Lacon, the beleaguered member of the Cabinet Office. Cherished for his comedic chops, Toby Jones is Percy Alleline, the blinkered new head of the Circus. Tom Hardy is the fearlessly swaggering Ricki Tarr, who first hears of the mole's existence from a Russian spy with whom Tarr trysts. Add in the dishy, gentlemanly Colin Firth to play blithe Bill Haydonthe golden boy of Oxford University days and of the Circus, the jolly jokester, handsome enough to tempt Smiley's wifeand the alchemy of the film's casting is complete.Jay says of her process for casting, "I read a screenplay and tend not to think of specific actors until after spending time with the director, listening to their interpretation of material and absorbing the world of the film they wish to make. Occasionally when I read material, my thoughts are dominated by a specific actor or actors, but until I fully appreciate what the director is trying to achieve, those initial responses may fall away." Of course Jay attends theater and cinema to observe actors, but, she says, "Watching plays and film feeds my brain: I love theater and cinema, and watching a beautiful production becomes a gift imprinted on my memory."To a certain extent, we started by talking about the actors whose work we most admired on film and onstage," Jay says of casting "Tinker Tailor." "It's an ensemble piece, so each and every actor not only needed to work for a specific role but also with each other. Tomas has this extraordinary facility to cut to the heart of an actor's souldistill the essential elements and what potentially makes them so unique onscreen.

Firth, says Jay, seemed the "immediate counterpoint" to Oldman's Smiley. As for the remaining roles, says Jay, "With each and every actor, Tomas and I worked closely together to build the Circus personnel. No one read for their part.

Spielberg, Jackson on the Making of 'The Adventures of Tintin'

Steven Spielberg's collaboration with Peter Jackson on "The Adventures of Tintin" was the first time in his career he had worked that closely with another filmmaker, he told "The Hollywood Reporter's" executive editor, features Stephen Galloway during an exclusive interview with the two men in Paris.Spielberg -- who directed the picture, which Jackson produced -- said he was struck by the humor Jackson brought to the project, based on the intrepid young journalist who features in a series of comic books known around the world. The character was brought to life through motion capture created by Jackson's Weta Digital in New Zealand.At the same time, Jackson said he was amazed by his friend's continuing passion for film. "Steven just walks onto the set every day like it's the first time," he said.In the interview, Jackson said that, as a young director, "I started to read about Steven doing the Tintin film and I was waiting and waiting to see it. Then eventually, six or seven years ago, Steven called me." He admitted he was "a little nervous."While Jackson was an expert on motion capture thanks to "Lord of the Rings," Spielberg said he learned about it from his friend James Cameron, who invited him to the Marina Del Rey studio or "volume" while "Avatar" was being made."I watched for a while and Jim let me play with you can't even call it a camera: it looks like a game controller, with a little television screen and an X and Y control to move the camera around," he said. "When you walk, the camera dollies; when you go forward, the camera moves in. I was able to play around. Then Peter and Weta devised an entirely new system that was the most remarkable I had ever seen."While Spielberg was filming in Los Angeles, Jackson would check in via teleconference at the crack of dawn in New Zealand. "Once, it was very funny, there was one moment where we were rehearsing the actors and Peter had just come down about 4 a.m. his time and I wanted to consult with him about a change in dialogue -- and there was Peter on the monitor," Spielberg laughed. "I said, 'Peter?' And Peter was sort of sitting there, but his eyes were closed. I said, 'Peter! Wake up!' And he didn't move."The biggest problem the filmmakers confronted, he added, was the script: "We kept changing the script all through the shoot. We had an entire subplot we cut out. We shot it to thicken the plot, because the plots in all the Herg books are very easy to understand and we tried to overly complicate them and realized that Herg was right and we were wrong."

Sony to move Bin Laden pic after election

Sony likely won't be releasing Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal's untitled project about the hunt for Osama Bin Laden before the 2012 Presidential election as planned. Originally skedded to launch Oct. 12, the studio said it will definitely move the film -- but is considering a few different options as to when. But why? Sony moved its Kevin James-comedy "Here Comes the Boom" from a summer berth to Oct. 12, meaning the studio would have two films on that date. As to political reasons, it's not known how much (if at all) the film's storyline is a motivation. In August, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) called for an investigation into the Obama administration's cooperation with Bigelow and Boal's project, citing NY Times columnist Maureen Dowd's column saying Bigelow received "top-level access to the most classified mission in history." Dowd also noted that the pic, detailing one of the administration's big successes, would be released just weeks before the election. The White House, along with Bigelow and Boal, denied that the project was getting favored treatment, calling the operation "an American triumph, both heroic and non-partisan ... (with) no basis to suggest that our film will represent this enormous victory otherwise." Bigelow and Boal have been developing the project for nearly a year, beginning even before a team of Navy SEALS shot and killed Bin Laden in May, forcing Boal to rewrite the third act of his script. Sony said it expects to make a decision regarding the date within the next few weeks. Contact Andrew Stewart at andrew.stewart@variety.com
