Exclusive: Emmy and Academy Award nominated producer David Permut and filmmaker Oscar Boyson are teaming up with author/filmmaker Mathew Klickstein to bring the San Diego Comic-Con origin story to life for the first time on screen in a new documentary based on the latter’s book See You at San Diego: An Oral History of Comic-Con, Fandom, and the Triumph of Geek Culture.
The See You at San Diego documentary will follow how a scrappy group of teenage fans, zinesters, illustrators, stoners, hippies, weirdoes, bookworms, and science buffs in the late 1960s joined forces with an unemployed thirtysomething comic fan to create what has now become one of the most influential pop culture events ever.

Exclusive: Hercules Film Fund and Rhea Films have closed a deal to finance and produce a feature-length version of Power Signal — the sci-fi short from Oscar Boyson that had its world premiere in Sundance’s Midnight Shorts section last Friday.
The short stars Babs Olusanmokun (Dune) as a NYC delivery worker who has a close encounter with an otherworldly life form after accepting a degenerate customer’s bizarre proposition. Boyson directed the pic, also starring Angela Sarafyan, Tennessee King and Will Brill, from his and Erin DeWitt’s script, also producing with Jordan Drake, Alex Coco, and production companies Object & Animal and Hayden 5.
Like the short, the feature adaptation is described as a NYC-set sci-fi Western in which e-biking delivery workers are the cowboys. Further plot details are under wraps.
Boyson will direct from his script written with DeWitt and Ricky Camilleri. The project reunites him with producers Paris Kassidokostas-Latsis...

Could Another Streaming Service Be the Answer to Having Too Many Choices? This New Platform Hopes So
We’ve all been there: Endlessly scrolling through the hundreds of movies served to you by the Netflix algorithm — only to come to the conclusion that there’s just nothing to watch. Then on to Hulu, or Amazon Prime Video, or any one of the other major streaming services, only to be faced with the same problem.
What if the solution to the paradoxical problem of too many choices but nothing to watch lies in yes, another streaming service? The team behind a newly launched streamer, Curia, hopes that could be the case.
Rather than hundreds of options served up by technology, Curia wants to deliver “only the good stuff” by programming around 80 features a month in a rotating selection of collections like this month’s New York Stories, featuring “King of New York,” “Light Sleeper,” and eight other films that take viewers across the boroughs and through decades. For just $3.99 a month,...

"I really, really loved it," Harris said. "I loved the book, and I thought since [Flynn] did the screenplay as well, it's in most ways true to the book -- mostly in its kind of unsettling nature. You leave feeling just kind of rocked by what 'relationship' can mean."

"We've been trying to get that movie made for 30 years, and I think we're getting closer and closer. Don [Simpson] and I tried to develop something, we didn't succeed. [Tom] Cruise took over, and he tried to develop something, and he didn't succeed. Now we're back at it."
It was the late Tony Scott, the first film's original director, who finally cracked the story in 2012 before his death. So what is that story?
"The concept is, basically, are the pilots obsolete because of drones. Cruise is going to show them that they're not obsolete.

Thirty Seconds To Mars won a Vma on Sunday, but viewers who simply tuned into MTV for the telecast likely had no idea.
The band's award for Best Rock Video, which honored the song "Up In The Air," was presented on the pre-show before the festivities officially kicked off. During a visit to the HuffPost Live studio the day after the VMAs, lead singer Jared Leto told host Ricky Camilleri that fans should express dissatisfaction with rock being sidelined on the music network.
"Rock music deserves a place there," Leto said. "I don't think people will be bored by it. But we live in a world right now that seems to want to be anesthetized, that seems to want to just feel one thing. It's this slight sedation."
HuffPost Entertainment editor Kia Makarechi pointed out that the tide might be turning with the popularity of pop acts like Passion Pit and fun.

During a HuffPost Live interview with Michael Fishman, who played Becky's younger brother DJ on "Roseanne," and host Ricky Camilleri, Goranson revealed that she has never seen any of the show's controversial final season, including the series finale.
It may seem unbelievable that Goranson never checked out what she was missing on the show, but it rang true when Fishman spoke about the "Roseanne" finale, which revealed that Conner family patriarch Dan (John Goodman) died from a heart attack -- a twist Goranson never knew about until Fishman said it on HuffPost Live.

If director Robert Zemeckis had gotten his way, "Forrest Gump" would have been very different.
The role of Lt. Dan, a platoon leader who loses his legs, was played by Gary Sinise in the 1994 film, but Zemeckis originally wanted a different -- and very famous -- actor for the part.
Casting director Ellen Lewis, who appears in the new HBO documentary "Casting By," talked with HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri about her work on "Gump" and revealed the actor who could have been Lt. Dan.
"I was working on 'Forrest Gump,' and the role of Lt. Dan, Robert Zemeckis very much wanted Kevin Bacon to play the role, and for whatever reason he passed on that," Lewis said.
After Bacon turned down the part, Lewis and Zemeckis went through a series of auditions with other actors. Eventually, Lewis came back around to Sinise, who had been considered earlier in the process.

Nicolas Cage's filmography goes on and on, but his next project is something new, according to the film's director.
Cage will star in "Joe," an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Larry Brown.

In a conversation about his current film, "Prince Avalanche," Green talked with HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri about the project and Cage's versatility.

"This movie's unlike anything [Cage] has ever done," Green said. "It's a very dark, salty Southern tale."

Shailene Woodley's starring role in the upcoming adaptation of "The Fault In Our Stars" is a literal wish come true.
The actress has already had a career most performers dream of, starring alongside George Clooney in "The Descendants" and headlining the upcoming movie version of the young adult series "Divergent," but she so desperately wanted to play Hazel Grace Lancaster in "Fault" that she made a personal plea to the book's author John Green.
"Before I got 'Fault In Our Stars,' I wrote [Green] a pretty lengthy email just sort of saying, 'I'm obsessed with you and your book and I would do anything to be a part of it. Please let me audition for you,'" she told HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri.
Green sent Woodley a "beautiful, respectful, kind, generous" response, in which he said that he'd love for her to audition -- if only he was in charge of casting.

He sat down with HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri to discuss his unique approach to directing his documentary, namely his decision to include the perpetrators in the process of filming.
Anwar Congo, one of the killers, claims responsibility for the death of perhaps 1,000 people. He is not only plays a central role in the film, but also contributed to its making.
"The method was for Anwar to come up with an idea for a scene, shoot the scene, watch the scene that he shot, and then react to it and plan the next scene," Oppenheimer said. "It was always one at a time and the next scene would be a reaction to the previous scene."

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" star Jeff Garlin swung by HuffPost Live on Wednesday to promote his new movie "Dealin' with Idiots," and didn't hold back on his opinion about the not guilty verdict in the George Zimmerman murder trial.
"Until the law is changed, I won't go back to Florida," Garlin said, referring to the state's infamous "stand-your-ground" law (which was not actually used as a defense in the trial).
The actor and stand-up comedian has roots in the state. He attended high school and college in Fort Lauderdale and Miami, respectively, and launched his comedy career there.
He told host Ricky Camilleri that he cannot altogether blame the jurors in the case for carrying out a law that he believes is unjust.
"Standing your ground -- what does that mean?" Garlin asked. "It means you can do what you want. You wanna shoot a black kid, have fun."...

Nicolas Winding Refn's new film "Only God Forgives" arrives in theaters and video-on-demand services on July 19, giving all audiences a chance to see what so riled up the cognoscenti at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival back in May.
The violent film -- which star Ryan Gosling previously described as a "nightmare" -- was booed by detractors at the Cannes Film Festival and slammed by critics.
"The wallpaper emotes more than Ryan Gosling does in 'Only God Forgives,' an exercise in supreme style and minimal substance from 'Drive' director Nicolas Winding Refn," critic Peter Debruge wrote in Variety. His review was echoed with an increased level of vitriol by Hollywood Elsewhere proprietor Jeff Wells:
Movies really don't get much worse than Nicholas Winding Refn‘s Only God Forgives. It’s a shit macho fantasy — hyperviolent, ethically repulsive, sad, nonsensical, deathly dull, snail-paced, idiotic, possibly woman-hating, visually suffocating,...

Roland Emmerich, director of 'White House Down' to be released later this week, joined HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri to discuss everything from his new film to what's in store for future films. Known for his action-packed thrillers, Emmerich is also an outspoken gay rights activist and openly gay himself. So it's no surprise that he revealed there will be a gay character in 'Independence Day 2.'
"Actually in the next 'Independence Day' there is a gay character," Emmerich says.
Divulging little more than just that about the highly anticipated sequel, however, Emmerich did confirm that Bill Pullman will make a return in 'Independence Day 2.'
While it looks like we may have to wait for the film to hit the big screens in July 2015 to find out more about this mystery character, Emmerich told Empire earlier this year that he'd like to make...

Roland Emmerich is prepared for Fox News to hate his new film "White House Down," he just doesn't actually care.
"I'm excited for that, but I never watch or see reviews," Emmerich told HuffPost Live host Ricky Camilleri on Tuesday. "I keep that out of my life."
Emmerich, the man responsible for "Independence Day" and "Godzilla," has experience with the cable news network. His 2004 environmental thriller "The Day After Tomorrow" was, according to the director, banned by Fox News.
The German-born director isn't afraid of taking on controversial subjects with his blockbusters. In fact, he makes it a priority. "When you make these big movies, it doesn't mean they have to be stupid. I'm always the most hurt when somebody says dumb fun. There is no dumb fun. It's either fun or it's not," he said. "In that way I always try to put ideas and thoughts into my movies that I truly believe.

Actor Elijah Wood joined HuffPost Live Thursday, telling host Ricky Camilleri that Monsanto is a "scary organization."
"It's a pretty basic human right to know what's going into our food," Wood said, referring to a failed Gmo labeling ballot initiative in California.
He also noted dozens of other countries require genetically modified food labeling.
"It's a little scary that there's a giant corporation that seems to have a lot of control in that regard," he added.

Were astronauts' wives the Kardashians of the 1960s? Sort of, says one journalist.
Lily Koppel, the author of The Astronaut's Wives Club, joined Ricky Camilleri on HuffPost Live this week to discuss how astronauts' wives were America's first reality TV stars.
According to Koppel, astronauts' spouses went from being unknown military wives to Life magazine cover stars, and were under immense pressure to have "everything together on the home front."
"You had to have a perfect marriage, you had to have an exemplary family life, and I don't think you could share a lot of the brutal honesties that we see our reality starts today sharing," Koppel said.

When actor, husband and father Jerry O’Connell, joined Ricky Camilleri in the HuffPost Live studio to talk about his work with the Life Is Good Playmakers, the subject of his twins, Dolly and Charlie, quickly came up in conversation.
The O’Connell girls are 5-years-old now, and when asked how it all was going, O’Connell replied with a laugh, “It’s hell! It’s a living hell.”
He joked that he’s gone so far as to dissuade his friends who are considering parenthood. “I have a lot of friends who are like ‘Hey man, I’m thinking about making the jump and having kids,’ and I’m like, 'Why?' No, I mean, my kids are really cute, but they’re nuts. And I have girls so they really tell me what to do.”
Camilleri noted that O’Connell was the only guy in the house, but...

Mystery solved.
Since its release in 1993, the Counting Crows hit "Mr. Jones" has left fans wondering about the identity of the song's namesake. Lead singer Adam Duritz revealed all during an interview with HuffPost Live on Thursday.
One long-running theory claimed the tune was about Duritz's penis, but the truth is much more safe for work. The enigmatic "Mr. Jones" is actually Marty Jones, a bassist and longtime friend of Duritz.
The singer told host Ricky Camilleri he was inspired to pen the song after he and Jones went out to a Los Angeles bar and spotted another musician romancing three women at once in the corner.
"We couldn't even manage to talk to girls," Duritz said. "We were just thinking if we were rock stars, it would be easier. I went home and wrote the song."

Up-and-coming actress Brit Marling came on HuffPost Live to discuss her role in the environmental activism thriller, "The East" opening in theaters May 31. Marling stars as an FBI agent assigned to infiltrate a group of extreme environmental activists called "The East" led by Alexander Skarsgard and Ellen Page.
Director Zal Batmanglij and Marling discussed a scene of bonding between the cult members where the members of "the East" play spin the bottle and freely kiss one another regardless of their sexual identities. Marling at one point kisses Ellen Page and director Zal told host Ricky Camilleri the inspiration for this scene came from an actual experience both Zal and Marling had while playing spin the bottle together on the road.

Where are the female hosts on late-night TV?
That's what a panel of guests addressed Wednesday on HuffPost Live.
Dorian Hannaway, the former Director of Late-Night Programming at CBS, talked to host Ricky Camilleri about her experiences with the casting process and when we might see someone other than a white, male host on a late-night comedy show. "As soon as the right person breaks that mold, it'll be gangbusters." she said.
According to Hannaway, women make up the majority of late-night television viewers and are also well-represented on production teams for these shows. Thus she's dismissive of the notion that female hosts would pull in in fewer viewers. She told Camilleri, "I do think if Tina Fey had taken NBC at 12:30, she would have a huge audience."
Watch the clip above to see what else Hannaway had to say on the subject, and watch the full HuffPost Live clip here.

Legendary filmmaker William Friedkin joined HuffPost Live on Thursday to discuss the release of his new memoir, "The Friedkin Connection," and his career as a director of classics such as "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection."
When host Ricky Camilleri asked about one of Friedkin's more shocking films, "Cruising," a murder mystery set against the backdrop of the hardcore gay S&M scene in New York City, Friedkin revealed he wasn't the first director chosen for the story. It was actually Steven Spielberg. Look at the trailer below and try to imagine Steven Spielberg directing this film.
Friedkin tried to imagine how the film would be different, saying "there might have been a shark running around in the damn club!"
"Cruising" was released in 1980 and immediately met with protests from both the gay community, which felt it would promote old stereotypes, as well as conservatives offended by the film's frank depiction of S&M culture.

Marc Maron has made no secret of his ongoing plea for Jon Stewart to come on his show, and on a recent appearance on HuffPost Live, the acclaimed "Wtf" podcast host (and star of the upcoming "Maron" on IFC) confirmed that the "Daily Show" anchor has no plans to go on Maron's show anytime soon, due to their rocky history.
"There's some tension there that's decades old," Maron acknowledged to host Ricky Camilleri, referencing Maron and Stewart's past as rival up-and-coming comedians in New York City.
"I thought, 'I'm the guy who apologizes to people on my show,'" he continued. "Jon said, 'That's not going to happen. If you want to talk to me, maybe we can talk over coffee.'"
Maron, whose book "Attempting Normal" came out on Tuesday, also said Daniel Tosh and Albert Brooks are two potential guests who are not eager to appear on...

Clark Gregg is in New York this week for the Tribeca Film Festival with "Trust Me" -- a dark comedy he wrote, directed and stars in -- but he took time out of his busy schedule to talk with HuffPost Live host Ricky Camilleri about "The Lift."
Some background: Gregg, who played Agent Coulson in "Marvel's The Avengers" last year, is married to "Dirty Dancing" star Jennifer Grey. That union raises the obvious roundabout question: In their spare time, does the couple enjoy reenacting the iconic "Dirty Dancing" moment when Grey was lifted into the air by Patrick Swayze?
"Yeah, that's all we do actually. Each morning we wake up and I do the lift. And then I put Baby in the corner," Gregg said with a roll of his eye. "Then she stabs me with Loki's spear and we live out our film moments." Gregg's Coulson died at the...

Legendary Hollywood film director William Friedkin appeared on HuffPost Live on March 25 to discuss his use of "shocking material" throughout his career. Host Ricky Camilleri brought up Friedkin's 1980 film "Cruising" starring Al Pacino as a cop investigating a series of murders set against the backdrop of a hardcore, gay, S&M underground in New York City.
The shock of the film has died down over the last three decades but at the time of its release, the film was labeled as homophobic and an affront to the gay community as some thought it depicted gay people as criminally insane and sexually deviant. Village Voice Arthur Bell went so far as to ask readers to hassle the crew on the streets.
"This promises to be the most oppressive, ugly, bigoted look at homosexuality ever presented on the screen," he wrote. "The worst possible nightmare of the most uptight straights. I implore readers.

After premiering in three theaters two weeks ago and racking up $87,667 per screen and ultimately pulling in approximately $5 million this past weekend as it expanded to 1,104 theaters many are looking for answers or at least a chance to be part of the conversation, which brings me to the Huffington Post Live (via He) video at the bottom of this post. MSN's Glenn Kenny and Huffington's Chris Rosen discuss the film with moderator Ricky Camilleri accompanied by a brief interjection from The Inquisitir's Niki Cruz and an ultimate takeover by director William Friedkin, but when you start hearing Spring Breakers in the same sentences as films such as The Master and ultimately A Clockwork Orange, I can't help but sit back...

"Spring Breakers" director Harmony Korine cast famously young-looking actresses like Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson in his wild movie, kept them nearly naked the entire film and put them in highly sexualized scenes. But for Korine, 40, that's just business as usual.
Korine -- whose 26-year-old wife Rachel Korine also stars in the film -- was asked about the potentially awkward nature of directing such young girls in fleshy scenes in a Wednesday appearance on HuffPost Live. "Not at all," Korine deadpanned when asked if he ever felt "creepy" during the shoot. "I feel like the most pure human being that's ever existed … the most pure human being of all time."
HuffPost Live host Ricky Camilleri pressed Korine to explain how that works. "My intentions are pure, in that the film is about that culture, it is about that world," Korine continued. "So anything I did that was less...

Comedian Jon Glaser has had a big year: He's had big guest spots on two zeitgeist-y shows, "Girls" (as an ex-junkie with a crush on Hannah) and "Parks and Recreation" (as a councilman who hates Leslie). Plus, his own Adult Swim series, "Delocated," about a man in Witness Protection who happens to have his own reality show, sees its series finale this Thursday, March 7.
HuffPost Live's Ricky Camilleri interviewed Glaser about his long career in comedy on Friday. At least, he attempted to conduct the interview, but in typical Jon Glaser fashion, Jon was more content to make fun of the host and the very idea of the interview.
In the clip above, Jon tells his story about getting rejected from "SNL" after deciding that the show was sorely lacking in impressions of King Hussein of Jordan.
