Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 4:26 pm · May 15th, 2013
Nothing turns a rough couple of weeks around like booking a gig on a Paul Thomas Anderson movie. Reese Witherspoon has done just that, landing a role in the director’s upcoming “Inherent Vice,” adapted from the Thomas Pynchon novel set in 60s/70s Los Angeles.

J.J. Abrams talks 'Star Trek' vs. 'Star Wars' and Jon Stewart's 'Rosewater' on 'The Daily Show'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:04 pm · May 14th, 2013
Soon enough you’ll get to decide for yourself on “Star Trek Into Darkness.” Will you be delighted as a general moviegoer or up in arms with a large sect of Trekkies who have gotten bent out of shape? I’ll be interested to find out (and we’ll inquire on Friday), but for now, some fun with J.J. Abrams.

Al Pacino signs on for David Gordon Green's 'Manglehorn'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 11:26 am · May 14th, 2013
When that fake list of Cannes titles went up a few weeks back, just a day or two before the official line-up was unveiled, I was hoping one particular title was true: David Gordon Green’s “Joe.” Alas, it wasn’t. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Tye Sheridan (hot of an amazing performance in “Mud,” directed by Green’s former North Carolina school mate Jeff Nichols) and it’s part of what I feel is a new period for Green as an artist, taking what he’s learned (and the relationships he’s built up) to date and finding more fertile creative territory. His next film sure seems to be an extension of that.

Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 6:32 pm · May 13th, 2013
Astronaut Chris Hadfield has spent the last few months doing serious work on the International Space Station. But he’s also been providing an invaluable resource in the form of a fantastic series of photos of Earth from orbit. These are my favorites.

James Franco tackles William Faulkner in the trailer for Cannes-bound 'As I Lay Dying'
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:53 pm · May 13th, 2013
It’s kind of amazing that an adaptation of William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying” has never happened, and it’s fascinating that Franco is the guy to do it. He’s put together a great cast including Danny McBride and Tim Blake Nelson. Franco himself also stars.
