Yates found a Potter of gold

David Yates can get the John Schlesinger Award for Excellence in Pointing.To date as movies went, David Yates had made just one, a virtually unseen low-budget pic, when David Heyman asked for him to direct "Harry Potter as well as the Order in the Phoenix." Four films and $4.2 billion box office later, Yates is just about the finest-grossing British director ever.Clearly, he wasn't a genuine rookie when the call came. After his false come from features while using $2.5 million period curio "The Tichborne Claimant," he reinvented themselves since the BAFTA-winning helmer of acclaimed TV series for instance "The Means By Which We Live Now," "Condition of Play" and "Sex Traffic."Nonetheless, he confesses he was surprised being handed the fifth installment in the finest franchise in movie history."I'd just made a decision to get this to bleak, intense drama about sex trafficking, so that it made an appearance as being a very odd juxtaposition," he recalls. "Once I visited see David, it made an appearance don't to request why. He mentioned he will be a large fan of my work, therefore i thought let's just allow it to relaxation there and discuss the material.InchDescribes Heyman: "He'd an authentic sensitivity for your material. He'd done 'State of Play,' which labored in politics inside a entertaining and accessible way. With the fifth film, the Harry Potter world was progressively political, which i was really considering somebody who could set the magical world removed from the actual existence."Yates was under no illusion in regards to the scale in the task, although he never imagined it could dominate his existence for an additional seven years."It absolutely was a massive challenge for nearly any director coming," according to him. "I realize Alfonso Cuaron and Mike Newell think it is greatly challenging, since they described so!"But he immediately felt empowered with the producers as well as the studio to forge their very own path."Each day, within the first draft in the script through 20, 30 drafts, you're affecting on, shaping," according to him. "There wasn't each next day of i didn't feel I used to be doing my factor. I desired to build up the earth up, making it feel more intense, deeper, more frightening. I desired to children a kids film with a film that grownups would definitely enjoy greater than kids."The producers as well as the studio were clearly delighted while using result, signing him up again for "Harry Potter as well as the Half-Blood stream Prince," as well as the two climactic obligations of "Harry Potter as well as the Deathly Hallows.""A Few Things I love about David is not exactly that he's a great storyteller, but he's a humanist -- he's always trying to find the emotional truth from the character," Heyman states."Potter" has transformed Yates in the well-regarded as as British TV director in to a Hollywood A-lister while using world at his foot. This month, he was attracted onto direct the bigscreen version of "Physician Who.""It's as though I've been through some portal are available out lack of,In . Yates states. "I enjoy a large amount of scripts stacked up, waiting being read. It's a thrilling time, which personally i think at this time around that i'm ready to begin anew.InchHowever Personally i think, oddly, which i have a great prove just like a filmmaker. Potter is Potter, there has been three other company company directors who done people films, which is Jo Rowling's world.

The 5 Best Tidbits from Steven Spielberg's War Horse Q&A

I’m still a little sour with Steven Spielberg after he tried shilling the abysmal Cowboys & Aliens with a bunch of smarty-pants soundbites, but I’ll let him slide in case War Horse turns out to be fabulous. In this new, highly edited Q&A from MSN, Spielberg talks about the new movie, purposely casting an unknown as a lead, and the miraculous work of John Williams. All sounds good so far. But will we be left wanting? Or whinnying? On whether the book or play inspired him to make the film: “The book made me see the spine of the narrative, and the play made me see the emotional potential for a film adaptation — so it was really a combination of both.” On altering a script during filming: “You can’t start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished. because if you thin the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.” On working with John Williams for 40 years: “We have a shorthand. He always sees the movie early and then he just goes away. And I don’t see him. And then I get a phone call and he says, ‘You want to come over to my office? I want to play you some themes.’ I go over to the office, and he sits down behind his Steinway, and he starts playing me themes. It’s been that way for almost 40 years. I love everything he’s ever written, but some scores that he sketches on the piano have a few profound effect on me. He plays three themes from this movie, and I was a goner. I was three handkerchiefs, right there.” On casting the film’s young protagonist, Albert: “I wanted an unknown to play Albert; I didn’t want a well-known actor to play him. Part of that is looking through who’s in theater currently, who’s going to acting class, who’s going to school studying acting, who just wants to volunteer to come in to read for our casting directors… It took months to find the right actor. Jeremy [Irvine] came in right in the middle of the casting process, and I saw him midway through casting and felt that I’d found my Albert. But I thought, If I found him this early, there must be someone better… I went to England and tested him again - I think he tested six times - I realized we weren’t going to do any better than Jeremy.” On protecting the horses during filming: “The only thing any of us cared about was that not a single horse was going to ever be injured making this picture. This picture wasn’t worth the injury to a horse. So it took us much longer to shoot that scene because we had to make sure every single shot was safe for the horse. It was also at night, which means we were up all night, which is no fun when you’re making a movie.” Does this excite you for War Horse, or is it Oscar bait you dread seeing? ‘War Horse’ chat with Steven Spielberg [MSN]

We Bought a Zoo

A 20th Century Fox release presented in association with Dune Entertainment of an LBI Entertainment, Vinyl Films production. Produced by Julie Yorn, Cameron Crowe, Rick Yorn. Executive producer, Ilona Herzberg. Co-producers, Paul Deason, Aldric La'Auli Porter, Marc R. Gordon. Directed by Cameron Crowe. Screenplay, Aline Brosh McKenna, Crowe, from the book by Benjamin Mee.Benjamin Mee - Matt Damon Kelly Foster - Scarlett Johansson Duncan Mee - Thomas Haden Church Robin Jones - Patrick Fugit Dylan Mee - Colin Ford Lily Miska - Elle Fanning Rosie Mee - Maggie Elizabeth Jones Walter Ferris - John Michael Higgins Peter MacCready - Angus MacFadyen Delbert McGinty - Peter Riegert Katherine Mee - Stephanie Szostak Mr. Stevens - JB Smoove"We Bought a Zoo" is an odd bird, warm-blooded but largely lifeless. Adapted from Benjamin Mee's autobiographical account of his experiences as the new owner of a fixer-upper menagerie, Cameron Crowe's overlong pic works hard to deliver intermittent pleasures, most of which derive from Matt Damon's affable lead turn. Animal action, as well as comedy of any variety, remains curiously sparse as Crowe strains to make a tribe of his human characters, including a ragtag zoo-keeping team and the widowed Mee's two kids. Sneaked nearly a month in advance, Fox's holiday offering lacks the zip needed to drive upbeat word of mouth. Though faithful to Mee's book in many respects, Crowe's "Zoo" shifts the setting from the British countryside to Southern California, and starts with Mee's wife, Katherine, having already died from illness (she's played in flashbacks by Stephanie Szostak). Like the soul-seeking protags of Crowe pics past, Damon's grieving Mee decides early in the film to turn his life upside down, abruptly quitting his job as an L.A. newspaper journo and moving himself and his kids -- teenage Dylan (Colin Ford) and 7-year-old Rosie (Maggie Elizabeth Jones) -- to a rural property whose 18 acres include the Rosemoor Animal Park. Shuttered years ago, but still home to members of several dozen endangered species, Rosemoor is run by the twentysomething Kelly Foster (Scarlett Johansson), a workaholic animal lover who's skeptical of Mee's intentions until he opens his pocketbook and proves his concern for the likes of Buster, a 650-pound grizzly bear, and Spar, an aged and ailing tiger. Mee also has to deal with his own brood, particularly Dylan, whose bereavement takes the form of stubborn apathy for all but his own ornately grotesque drawings. Where Crowe's classics, "Say Anything" (1989) and "Jerry Maguire" (1996), work their magic in no small part through indelible supporting characters, "Zoo" is an altogether messier affair. Among an ensemble that never quite coheres are Kelly's teen cousin Lily (Elle Fanning), who flirts with Dylan; Robin (Patrick Fugit, who played Crowe's alter ego in "Almost Famous"), who keeps a capuchin monkey on his shoulder; MacCready (Angus MacFadyen), who drinks hard and has a bad temper; and Mee's accountant brother, Duncan (Thomas Haden Church), who shows up every now and then to wag a finger at his impractical sibling. Crowe, who co-wrote the screenplay with Aline Brosh McKenna, clearly wishes to celebrate the group's tireless efforts to reopen the park, but only Damon, convincing and likable throughout, has been given enough to do. As played sweetly by Jones, young Rosie is just another implausibly precocious pre-tween who, like Johansson's underwritten Kelly, exists largely to smile approvingly at the hero. The animals' reaction shots appear somewhat more nuanced, though, believe it or not, "Zoo" manages to shortchange its non-human performers as well. Per usual for a Crowe film, the soundtrack comes stuffed with goodies, although the mix of Neil Young, Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, among many others, lacks the moments of musical epiphany in the director's signature works. The score by Jonsi of Sigur Ros sounds a touch saccharine and doesn't mesh well with the vintage pop. Tech credits, with the exception of the shapeless cutting, are solid but hardly vivid enough to compensate for the pic's deficiencies.Camera (Deluxe color), Rodrigo Prieto; editor, Mark Livolsi; music, Jonsi; production designer, Clay Griffith; supervising art director, Peter Borck; art director, Domenic Silvestri; set decorator, Wayne Shepherd; costume designer, Deborah L.

Sitting on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays

Janet Leavel and Polly Draper see their marriage ceremony be a three-ring circus in Sitting on Ceremony: The Gay Marriage Plays. An exhibition by Joan Stein, Richard Frankel, Annette Niemtzow, Fakston Productions, Harley Medcalf, Jon Murray / Harvey Reese, in colaboration with Diana Buckhantz and Niclas Nagler, connect producers Luigi Caiola, Rebecca Falcon, and Mary C. Solomon, and executive producer Joe Watson, of the show in a single act created by John Shnipper and compiled by various playwrights. Directed by Stuart Ross. Production supervision, David Gallo Design, Ltd.With: Craig Bierko, Mark Consuelos, Polly Draper, Harriet Harris, Janet Leavel, Richard ThomasThere's history behind "Sitting on Ceremony: the Gay Marriage Plays," an understanding-good show honoring gay marriage. John Shnipper had the initial brainstorm with this engaging anthology of 10-minute "microplays," commissioned from known scribes like Paul Rudnick, Doug Wright, Mo Gaffney, and Moises Kaufman and given staged blood pressure measurements with a rotating roster of stars. After playing one-evening benefit perfs in La along with other metropolitan areas, show has polished up nicely with this Off-Bway debut helmed by Stuart Ross. With proper maintenance it will have the ability to sit lower to have an indefinite run. The unifying theme of same-sex marriage gives this assortment of short plays and monologues its strong identity. When you are the job of countless scribes and carried out on the flexible repertory schedule, the person plays don't share exactly the same perspective or speak within the same voice. Which will keep things interesting. Go ahead and take few the formal big event itself. In "A Conventional Wedding," Mo Gaffney takes an amused, but supportive look at a lesbian couple (performed with warming humor by Polly Draper and Janet Leavel) who attempt to observe a couple of ritual conventions at their wedding and find yourself employing a wedding coordinator and getting a 3-ring circus. Jordan Harrison requires a different slant on a single subject in "The Revision." Within an serious effort to re-write the standard marriage vows to mirror the greater sober facts that belongs to them situation, two grooms (the very watchable Craig Bierko and Richard Thomas) finish up pledging their troth "within the eyes of God and also the ever-shifting vagaries of condition and federal constitutional law." Although both plays should amuse, they create exactly the same serious point: that gay marriage is without precedent, and, for better or worse, partners who marry are p facto creating their very own traditions. In "London Nasty flying bugs," Moises Kaufman goes to date regarding question the idea of a gay big event. In delivering a moving eulogy for his partner, a grieving guy (superbly performed by Richard Thomas) describes they never married as their lengthy and faithful union of 46 years needed no formal contract to validate it. Searching past the ceremony itself, some scribes present humorous accounts of methods the authority to marry has produced unpredicted social and political issues for gay couples. The 2 funniest plays on that subject were both compiled by Paul Rudnick and therefore are carried out with great comic gusto by Harriet Harris. In "My Hubby,Inch Harris ("Completely Modern Winnie") gives an antic performance being an strongly loving mother who's eager for her gay boy (Mark Consuelos) to marry, so she will not be surpassed by her buddies. Harris is another riot in "The Gay Agenda" as Mary Elizabeth Carstairs-Sweetbuckle, a conservative lady who attempts to become more open-minded than her husband (who loves to state that Satan produced gay people like a crafts project), but becomes believing that gays take around the globe. The strong local appeal, together with the reduced-cost no-extras staging, the commitment of a continuing way to obtain fresh material, and a choice of drawing in the local talent pool to replenish the repertory ensemble all claim that the show has legs.Set, Sarah Zeitler costumes, Frank Torre lighting, Josh Starr seem, Seem Affiliates production stage manager, Seth Sklar-Heyn.

Broadway's 'Godspell' is Heaven-Sent for its Cast

NY (AP) One was waiting tables at a Times Square seafood restaurant. Another was in Disney films and on tour with the Jonas Brothers. A third had performed at Carnegie Hall, but wondered when she'd land theater's biggest prize.All three George Salazar, Anna Maria Perez de Tagle and Celisse Henderson are overjoyed to be making their Broadway debuts this month in a revival of Stephen Schwartz's "Godspell.""For me, it's a dream come true," says Perez de Tagle while the others nod.The trio is part of a 10-person cast that stars Hunter Parish, whose credits include Showtime's "Weeds" and Broadway's "Spring Awakening," as Jesus but also has plenty of young performers making their first foray onto a Broadway stage. The hip musical retelling of the New Testament's Gospel of Matthew opens Monday at the Circle in the Square Theatre.The Tony-nominated score features the songs "Day by Day," ''Turn Back, O Man," ''Prepare Ye the Way" and "Light of the World" and the story updated with modern jokes, including references to Kanye West and Occupy Wall Street hits an infectious, hopeful tone."Godspell," which was an off-Broadway and Broadway smash in the 1970s and was made into a film in 1973, has been a mainstay of church groups, high schools and colleges ever since. Performers such as Jeremy Irons, Zach Braff, Gilda Radner, Madonna, Queen Latifah, Alice Ripley and Jon Hamm were in productions as young people.In an interview deep below the theater, Salazar, Perez de Tagle and Henderson laugh and joke as they describe how they each took very different paths to end up singing and dancing together."One of the most beautiful things about being in this group is that everyone involved is so unbelievable grateful to be here, for one reason or another," says Salazar, 25.The three are also soaking up media attention: They've been on "Late Show With David Letterman," photographed for Vanity Fair and were transformed into cartoons for a recent Broadway-themed episode of "South Park."Salazar, who hails from Kissimmee, Fla., was serving drinks and dinner at the Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. in Times Square when he got a call this summer about the "Godspell" auditions. No problem, he thought: He had been in the second national tour of "Spring Awakening" and had stored up a few go-to songs.But there was a catch. His manager said producers of the musical were also asking performers to prepare their own improvised take on a Bible parable. And Salazar had little time to prepare his audition was the next day."Here I am with shrimp on trays and drinks in my hands, and I'm going, 'When am I going to do this?'" he recalls.Three months and five auditions later including a nerve-racking one in front of Schwartz, who also composed the music and wrote the lyrics for "Wicked" Salazar learned he had landed a role when his phone rang."I lost it. I was a sweaty, crying mess in the hallway on the ground. It was a moment I will never forget," he says. In honor of that moment, Salazar says he'll be wearing special Nikes on opening night featuring the number "08-26" Aug. 26 the day he was cast.Perez de Tagle, the baby of the group at just 20, was flying into NY for a promotional event from her home in Los Angeles when her manager suggested she go to the "Godspell" audition.She had begun her career on stage in regional productions of "Cinderella," ''The Wiz" and "The King and I" and lately had appeared on the Disney Channel's series "Hannah Montana," and in such films as "Fame" and "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam." Last year, she toured with the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato.But her heart was on stage, even if she wasn't familiar then with "Godspell.". Multiple callbacks included flights back and forth from Los Angeles made that dream possible and now she has happily moved to NY and started a new life."This whole journey, with these amazing people, is honestly the best thing that ever happened," she says, her voice cracking with emotion. "I'm different now. And it's all because of them."Henderson's route has been the longest and most tortured. She was one of three actors in an earlier production of "Godspell" performed at New Jersey's Paper Mill Playhouse in 2006. It was to make the jump to Broadway two years later, but the economic crash made that impossible.A native of Oakland, Calif., 27-year-old Henderson has amassed varied credits: She was seen off-Broadway in "In Transit"; had a recurring role on "The Electric Company"; was in a national touring company of "Wicked"; and released her debut album "Show and Tell" last year. But Broadway was elusive. Until now."It's sort of come in a beautiful time in my life. I've been working in the business since I was 17," she says. "Now it's become the best thing that's ever happened to me."The three stress how fun and close the cast has become, a feeling perfectly in tune with a musical that is about 10 people who are reclaiming their joy. "It's not like work for us. It's playing," says Perez de Tagle. "It's just so much fun.""There are no egos, there are no personality clashes. Everyone works so well together and we have so much fun," adds Salazar. "We hope that there's a real long healthy run because, I don't want to stop working here."Copyright 2011 Associated Press.

Dwts: Maks Can get Frightening on Halloween

Maksim Chmerkovskiy Probably the most frightening moment on Monday night's Dwts didn't vary from ghosts, goblins and ghoulish make-up. It came from from seeing professional Maksim Chmerkovskiy throw round his celebrity partner, soccer star Hope Solo, in the videotaped group testing for your Team Paso Doble."Are you able to just stop," mentioned Solo. "Stop what?" asked for Chmerkovskiy. "Being you," she clarified."Wow, that was rough," mentioned one disturbed audience member. "He seems like he's as mad at her while he reaches the idol idol judges," mentioned another.Chmerkovskiy remains creating fires since last Monday's heated episode at mind judge Len Goodman, who belittled Solo's rumba as her "worst dance in the whole season." Goodman also reminded Chmerkovskiy that he's been in the market for several years. "Maybe you are prepared to escape,Inch he responded.There has been no such trades on Monday evening, and Solo mentioned they appreciated Chmerkovskiy's support. "I'm honestly grateful he stays up personally,In . she mentioned following a show. "That's such a team is ideal for, right?

"There's one minute where it made an appearance somewhat rough, plus it was due to the fact if you enter a team situation, every single piece is simply as significant as others. So when one piece isn't working, you're letting lower the comfort in the team. So that's just more pressure round the pros plus much more pressure round the stars.
