Translating Yann Martel’s award-winning novel “Life of Pi” to film has proven to be a daunting task for filmmakers kicking the tires on it for the better part of a decade, but in the hands of someone like Ang Lee, it was already getting off on the right foot.

Steven Spielberg to close AFI Fest for a second year in a row with the premiere of 'Lincoln'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 2:50 pm · September 20th, 2012
With very little left to choose from in the way of North American premieres, what with NYFF really diving in big this year on that front and Telluride and Toronto taking their fair share as usual, it seemed like Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” would be a good fit for AFI Fest. The November festival always has one or two premieres every year, and last year, one of them was a Spielberg film — “The Adventures of Tintin” (which closed the fest while Clint Eastwood’s “J. Edgar” opened it). And so it shall be.

Universal moves Tom Hooper's 'Les Misérables' to December 25
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 9:15 am · September 18th, 2012
When Warner Bros. shuffled “The Great Gatsby” on to 2013, there was an opportunity for another holiday bow on December 25 opposite “Django Unchained.” I had been wondering if any of the big latter-year films were going to jump on it but it started to seem like everyone was comfortable, until today, when Universal announced that it would be pushing Tom Hooper’s “Les Miserables” two weeks to that date.
