‘Camomile Lawn’ Novelist’s Estate Snapped Up By Ilp
International Literary Properties has acquired the estate of British The Camomile Lawn novelist Mary Wesley. Channel 4’s adaptation of The Camomile Lawn is Channel 4’s second most successful drama series of all time, according to Ilp, and the deal will see Ilp manage the rights to Wesley’s work. Having famously published her first novel aged 70, she also wrote the likes of Jumping the Queue, Harnessing Peacocks and The Vacillations of Poppy Carew, all of which have previously been adapted for film and TV. “Mary was an incredible woman, an extraordinary author and a very close member of my family,” said Wesley’s daughter in law, the author Xinran Xue. Deadline revealed last year that Ilp, which holds rights to the literary estates of Langston Hughes and Evelyn Waugh, had headed on a West Coast charm offensive and snapped up the estate of Somerset Maugham.

Julian Senior, the veteran Warner Bros. marketing and publicity executive in Europe who enjoyed close relationships with filmmakers including Oscar winners Stanley Kubrick, Clint Eastwood, David Puttnam and Neil Jordan, has died. He was 85.
Senior died Jan. 1 of pneumonia and heart failure in a hospital near his home in Borehamwood, England, Conor Nolan, his friend and onetime Warner Bros. colleague, told The Hollywood Reporter.
A native of South Africa, Senior joined Warner Bros. in 1970 after an eight-year run at MGM, where he was an advertising and publicity consultant in its European Regional Office, and he stuck with the studio through 2000.
At the start, Senior helped mastermind the advertising and publicity campaign for the landmark Kubrick film A Clockwork Orange (1971), and he also worked with the famed director on The Shining (1980), Full Metal Jacket (1987) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
“He taught me how publicity, advertising and marketing operates,” Senior once said of Kubrick.

Marlowe is a movie directed by Neil Jordan starirng Liam Neeson. With Diane Kruger and Jessica Lange. It is based on a novel by John Banville.
Marlowe is one of those films that probably shouldn’t have been made, and let me explain why: the main character has all the connotations of a classic that has reached a “sacrosanct” status and is probably the one of the most untouchable characters in the history of cinema, then played by the greatest star in the zenith of the golden age the seventh art – Humphrey Bogart.
About the Movie
Whether it was well-made, brilliant, or even if Orson Welles had directed it, I would have reason to be a bit reticent with this film. And, indeed I am, for the obvious reason that it dares revisit an untouchable classic.
Liam Neeson provides us with a similar role – if not identical – to Bogart’s,...

It is my experience that one gets a far richer, stranger cinema education in pursuing the careers of actors, that group defined first by (assuming luck shines upon them) two or three era-defining films and then so much that dictates their industry—pet projects, contractual obligations, called-in favors alimony payments, auteur one-offs, and on and on. Few embody that deluge of circumstance better than Michelle Yeoh and Isabelle Huppert, both of whom are receiving spotlights in March. The former’s is a who’s-who of Hong Kong talent, new favorites (The Heroic Trio), items we can at least say are of interest (Trio‘s not-great sequel Executioners), etc.
Huppert’s series runs longer, and notwithstanding certain standards that have long sat on the channel it adds some heavy hitters: Hong’s In Another Country, Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate, Breillat’s Abuse of Weakness, Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come. And, of course,...

Warner Bros. Television is in talks to develop a limited series based on the life of silent film star Buster Keaton. The project would star Rami Malek as Keaton.
“The Batman” director Matt Reeves would direct the limited series and produce via his 6th and Idaho Productions banner, which is under an overall deal at Warner Bros. TV. Malek and David Weddle also produce, with Ted Cohen in talks to serve as executive producer and writer. James Curtis’ 2022 biography “Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life” may serve as source material for the series, as the studio is negotiating the rights for the book.
Keaton, who lived from 1895 to 1966, is thought of as one of the most prominent stars of the silent film era aside from Charlie Chaplin. He got his start as a child in vaudevile acts alongside his parents, who were traveling performers, before transitioning into film in the late 1910s.

Buster Keaton was one of the biggest names in early cinema, famous for his physical comedy. He thrived on an ability to improvise these gags; Keaton grew up as a vaudeville performer, and spent his childhood improvising slapstick routines with his father onstage. As a Hollywood filmmaker, Keaton continued to rely on improvisation for his comedy — but this required him to follow one simple rule.
Keaton got his start as an entertainer traveling in a company alongside Harry Houdini. It was here that he learned to improvise fluidly and hilariously. His first time in front of a camera was in Fatty Arbuckle's "The Butcher Boy." "[Arbuckle] only had to turn me loose in the set and I'd have material in two minutes, because I'd been doing it all my life," Keaton explained (via A Hard Act to Follow).

One of the biggest comedians in silent cinema, Buster Keaton, was offered a weekly television series at a low point in his career — but, to everyone's surprise, he turned it down.
Keaton was a legend of the silver screen and a master of physical comedy, but things took a turn for the worse when silent film went the way of the dodo. Guest spots on television shows like "The Donna Reed Show" and "The Twilight Zone" presented new opportunities for Keaton to showcase his talents. He was resistant to doing a regular weekly show, but it wasn't because he was reclusive. In fact, the star had one very specific reason for turning down his own series.

For an actress best known for her classical stage work, Fiona Shaw is suddenly all over our screens.

It’s fitting that Neil Jordan’s “Greta” had its Toronto International Film Festival world premiere on Thursday at the Ryerson Theatre, because that venue is home to Tiff’s Midnight Madness section devoted to horror, sci-fi and all things genre. And while “Greta” isn’t actually screening in that section of the festival, it’s definitely the midnightiest thing that the Irish director has ever made.
Between the psycho stalker, the “don’t go in the basement!” moment and the sudden shocks that exist solely to make an audience jump, this is Jordan doing fun, schlocky horror, way beyond the high-toned horror he did in “Interview With the Vampire.”
And while the film wallows in the kind of silliness that makes you wonder just what the heck Isabelle Huppert is doing here, by the end it supplies an answer: She’s having fun, dammit, just like the audience at the Ryerson did.

Focus Features has closed a deal for rights to Neil Jordan’s “Greta” following the thriller’s premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
The film stars Chloe Grace Moretz and Isabelle Huppert and is described as a film about female obsession. Several companies were interested in “Greta” and bidding became intense. With the deal in place, Focus will now control rights for the film in North America, Australia and China. Universal, Focus’s parent company, already has a deal for the U.K.
“Greta” isn’t the only title eliciting lots of interest from buyers. Potential bidders have been told that “Teen Spirit,” the directing debut of actor Max Minghella, is close to landing a deal. There’s a rumor that the film about a pop star will go for roughly $3 million.

Pondling Written by Genevieve Hulme-Beaman Directed by Paul Meade Gúna Nua and Ramblinman 59E59 Theaters, NYC September 8-October 4, 2015
Of all the chores on her grandfather's farm, Madeleine particularly loves crushing cans. She especially enjoys those cans that put up a bit of resistance right at the end, admiring how they fight the inevitable. Her satisfaction in dispatching cans contrasts with those times when she must hold the flashlight while her brother and grandfather feed the cows: at these times, she knows that her task is essentially a ploy to keep her from feeling useless, an insight that speaks to her relative isolation in Genevieve Hulme-Beaman's Pondling, part of New York City's annual 1st Irish Festival.
Of course, it is likely that Madeleine, played by Hulme-Beaman herself, is not actually our protagonist's name. She likes to introduce herself as Madeleine Humbel Buttercup, pronounced with a French accent, one part of her campaign of self-fashioning.

Traditionally, vampires have impressive abilities to shape-shift, to hunt and to live eternally, as long as they stay away from wooden stakes and crucifixes. Director Neil Jordan, the creator of such contemporary classics as "The Crying Game," "The Company of Wolves," "The Butcher Boy" and "Mona Lisa," stands above the pack as one of this generation's great filmmakers — as long as he stays away from vampires. His 1994 adaptation of Anne Rice's "Interview with the Vampire" was a supremely silly bit of piffle, most remembered for Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise and...

New York — The Irish actor Milo O'Shea, whose many roles on stage and screen included a friar in Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet," an evil scientist in "Barbarella" and a Supreme Court justice on "The West Wing," has died in New York City. He was 86.
Ireland's arts minister, Jimmy Deenihan, said in a statement announcing O'Shea's death on Tuesday that the Dublin-born actor would be remembered for "ground-breaking" roles, including a performance as Leopold Bloom in the 1967 film adaptation of "Ulysses."
O'Shea also acted on Broadway, playing a gay hairdresser in 1968's "Staircase." He was nominated for Tony Awards twice.
The public knew O'Shea best as a character actor. His bushy eyebrows and white hair made him a favorite of casting directors looking for priests. He played a drunken one on the TV show "Cheers," a pedophilic one in the 1997 film "The Butcher Boy," a charming one in the 1981 Broadway play "Mass Appeal,...

Irish stage and screen character actor who appeared in Barbarella, The Verdict and the BBC's 1969 sitcom Me Mammy
For a performer of such fame and versatility, the distinguished Irish character actor Milo O'Shea, who has died aged 86, is not associated with any role in particular, or indeed any clutch of them. He was chiefly associated with his own expressive dark eyes, bushy eyebrows, outstanding mimetic talents and distinctive Dublin brogue.
His impish presence irradiated countless fine movies – including Joseph Strick's Ulysses (1967), Roger Vadim's Barbarella (1968) and Sidney Lumet's The Verdict (1982) – and many top-drawer American television series, from Cheers, The Golden Girls and Frasier, right through to The West Wing (2003-04), in which he played the chief justice Roy Ashland.

Neil Jordan is best known recently for his worthy dramas along the lines of Breakfast on Pluto or Michael Collins but the man is quite hard to pin down in terms of a specific favoured genre because looking at his filmography he has made some strange choices.
After the low-budget and gritty Angel in 1982, Jordan went for a bizarre horror cum fairy tale story which was financed by the soon to be defunct Palace Pictures.

After the low-budget and gritty Angel in 1982, Jordan went for a bizarre horror cum fairy tale story which was financed by the soon to be defunct Palace Pictures. Based on the short story writing of Angela Carter and co-written by her and Jordan, The Company of Wolves is a strange Chinese box of a movie which just about holds up in these modern times.

Neil Jordan isn't involved in "Hit & Miss," a six-episode UK series making its Us premiere on DirecTV this Wednesday, July 11th at 10pm -- he's got his own television project, "The Borgias," on Showtime. But "Hit and Miss" (create by Paul Abbott, of "Shameless) does feel a little like a creation patchworked together from pieces of Jordan's films -- a touch of "The Butcher Boy," a dab of "Mona Lisa" and, of course, a hefty dose of "The Crying Game." It brings together two types of characters he's shown an affinity for -- children and transwomen, four of the former and one of the latter united by the death of someone they all loved. The kids are siblings who range in age from six-year-old Leonie (Roma Christensen) to 16-year-old Riley (Karla Crome). They live on a smallholding farm in the Yorkshire countryside with a few chickens, some pigs and an uneasy relationship with their landlord.

It has been a while since The Crying Game and The Butcher Boy director Neil Jordan worked with the sort of dark material where he built his international reputation but that is about to change in a big way.Jordan begins principal photography in December on Byzantium, a UK / Ireland co-production that stars Gemma Arterton and Saoirse Ronan as a mother-daughter duo of vampires on the hunt. Sam Riley (Control) and Caleb Landry Jones (X-Men First Class, Antiviral) costar with the script coming from Jane Eyre's Moira Buffini.Production is scheduled to conclude in February so a late 2012 debut on the fest circuit - I'm looking at you, Toronto - would appear likely....

Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan first caught the attention of horror fans back in 1984 with his adaptation of Angela Carter's The Company of Wolves. And though he's since won widespread acclaim for films like Mona Lisa and The Crying Game, Jordan's returned to our favorite genre from time to time with movies like High Spirits, Interview with the Vampire, and -- tangentially -- the terrific, disturbing The Butcher Boy. So many of us were pretty stoked to hear that Jordan would be getting creepy once again by adapting Neil Gaiman's Newbery Award-winning The Graveyard Book. But it looks like there's another horror project that Jordan will tackle first -- the mother-daughter vampire tale Byzantium....

It is that time of year again when Dread Central pays its respects to those who have worked in our beloved genre and made it to the red carpet on Oscar night 2011. The genre was in rare form when it came to the nominations. Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan was up for the gold in multiple categories (best picture, best actress, cinematography, and direction); even The Wolfman was on the short-list for best make-up. And win we did.
But let’s not get ahead of ourselves because therein lie the gems of VHS past for a large share of both the winners and folks who were nominated. Highlights include a win for Melissa Leo (nominated two years ago for Frozen River), whom we remember best as Judith 'MaMa' Baer in Deadtime Stories. And who could forget Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho? My fellow fright fiends, he brought home the gold last night.

Okay folks, give me your worst. One recent evening, I was flipping through the television guide to see what the offerings were, and there it was: Deliverance. Yak. I can hardly stand to even type the word. I realized that any time I see that movie title, I get past it as quickly as humanly possible and try to wash it from my brain with lots and lots of other words. Gotta flush it out before I can even get a mind visual of Ned Beatty or Burt Reynolds. I have the need to un-see! So moving right along...
That's not the worst movie I've ever seen though. When at first I thought about what The Worst Movie I've Ever Seen would be, my sarcastic mind went to Avatar. I'm still pissed about sitting through that one, but my brain also knows that it's not the worst. It's stupid, slow,...

Ondine might not be Neil Jordan’s most enduring film (considering his portfolio includes films like like The Crying Game, The End of the Affair, Michael Collins, and The Butcher Boy), but it’s one of his most magical. Colin Farrell stars as Syracuse, a poor Irish fisherman and a recovering alcoholic in great need of a Pick-Me-Up bouquet. When a beautiful girl—yes, a real live beautiful girl (dreamy newcomer Alicja Bachleda, whom Farrell married this year)—washes up in his net, he’s not sure quite to make of the mystery. His young daughter knows though; she’s convinced that Ondine is actually a...

From The Crying Game…to Skippy Dies. That’s the trajectory for writer-director Neil Jordan, who has just signed on to helm a feature adaptation of Paul Murray’s book Skippy, which has been called “South Park meets Tom Brown’s Schooldays,” according to Variety. The story of Skippy follows two unlikely school roommates — Ruprecht, a math whiz who plays the French horn, and Skippy, who has a mother dying of cancer and is being abused by the gym teacher at the school. As you might guess, Skippy does indeed die, and Ruprecht puts together science experiments to try to...

From Psycho to Shutter Island, why is the portrayal of mental illness in the movies stuck in the dark ages?
Cinema has long been bad news for the mentally ill, typically representing them as the likes of Psycho's Norman Bates – crazed, dangerous and in need of harsh restraint. Film-makers have treated them as conveniently dehumanised as useful monsters, inviting cinemagoers to assume they should be feared, shunned and confined.
So what, you may feel: people can tell the difference between fiction and fact. Unfortunately, such research as has been conducted suggests otherwise. It has shown the mass media shapes people's ideas about mental illness, and that entertainment plays a bigger role in this process than factual output. In focus groups, people with hostile attitudes have cited films like Psycho as influences on their outlook.
To be fair, in Hitchcock's day harsh attitudes to mental illness pervaded not just films but society as a whole.

Doing some capsule reviews here for the start of the week. Not because these films are less deserving of a full review than others, it is more for time constraints... and also all four flicks already have distribution in multiple territories so they will get some exposure.
In the coming days I'll have a review for Dorothee van den Berghe's My Queen Karo, probably one for Thomas Ikimi's Legacy starring Idris Elba, and further down the line (most likely after the actual fest is over) interviews with Zonad star and directors, Simon Delaney, and Kieran and John Carney, plus a quick one with Alice Creed helmer J Blakeson.
So to start things off...

The trailer for Neil Jordan's new fantasy drama Ondine is now online. Starring Colin Farrell, it's the story of lonely fisherman Syracuse, who one day discovers a woman in his trawl (don't worry: any similarities to Lady in the Water end right there). Syracuse's daughter believes it's a mermaid, but as in all the best fairytales, there's darkness underneath the enchantment.Mythologically speaking, the Ondine or Undine is a water spirit (or "selkie") able to earn a soul by marrying a mortal man, at the cost of losing her immortality. Their beautiful voices can be heard in the flow of running water, which perhaps explains the trailer's glimpse of Alicja Bachleda-Curus' Ondine singing fish into the fishermen's nets.Filmed in and around Ireland's Beara Peninsula, the film was a labour of love for writer/director Jordan, and it's fantastically exciting to have the man who brought us The Company of Wolves...

Every once in a while my brain returns to 1998, the first full year I worked as a film critic. What happens is that something will remind me of a movie that has aged particularly well, something like The Big Lebowski or A Simple Plan, and I'll notice that there were quite a lot of good movies that year, and that many of them didn't get much love at the time. But then I'll start thinking about all those movies that did get lots of love -- especially Oscar love -- and how they haven't aged well at all. By looking at the Oscars and the box office list, you'd think it was a terrible movie year, but in reality it was a great movie year. How does this happen? One of the things I ask myself is: why wasn't Jeff Bridges nominated for Best Actor for The Big Lebowski? And come to that,...

Back in the day before every award season became seemingly bogged down with somber, serious holocaust dramas and the Oscar-baiting music industry biopic, the quickest way to the top of the prestige ladder circa mid-nineties was via the courtroom drama. There was no surer way to garner critical acclaim and mass audience swooning than a fist pounding "objection" on a mahogany legal bench. As Nicholson famously espoused, we "can't handle the truth," but as an audience, before syndicated cable TV beat the concept to death, we were suckers for it. Enter: Primal Fear.
High-class Chicago attorney Martin Vail (Richard Gere) believes in the letter and the spirit of the law. It doesn't matter to him if his defendant is a mob racketeer suing the state on a trumped up police brutality beef, it's all about the principle (and 40% of any settlement, of course).

- Marcello Paolillo met with helmer Neil Jordan and actors Cillian Murphy and Stephen Rea in New York. Stephen Rea Q: If I’m not wrong, you have done 9 films with Neil Jordan [Angel, Butcher Boy, The Company of Wolves, The Crying Game, The End of the Affair, In Dreams, Interview with the Vampire, Michael Collins and now Breakfast on Pluto]. How would you describe your relationship? A: After so many years, our relationship is very particular. In certain occasions, Neil comes up to me and says: “You know, I think you should be in this movie, but I’m not sure what you should do”. It happened for Michael Collins, and also for The Butcher Boy, when he had the idea of having me play both the father and the voice of the son when he gets older. Also in this case, he told me: “I want you in the film. Read the script and tell me if you like Bertie.” It’s a very small part, but for the moment that he is in the movie,

- “Oh, serious, serious, serious!” Patrick “Kitten” Brady Few years after the forgettable The Good Thief , Neil Jordan comes back in perfect shape for what can be easily considered his best film since The Butcher Boy. As delirious and exuberant as it is sincere and moving, Breakfast on Pluto is an extreme, uncompromising exaltation of the power of imagination. Welcome to the glamorous, desperate life of Patrick "Kitten" Brady, an Irish child born from an illegitimate love affair between a priest and his maid, “sold” into adoption to a greedy widow, and matured with two great desires: to become a woman and to finally meet his real mother, who ran away to London soon after Patrick’s birth in search of fortune. As the Ira harvests victims in the North of Ireland, Patrick – having become Kitten - moves to “swinging” London in search of
