Film Clip Looks Shaggy In 'Argo' Still

Ben Affleck's a man of action now, isn't he? A few years back, his career banished him to romcom barf fests like "Gigli" and "Which makes it through Christmas." No longer -- he's developed plenty of critical momentum and box office success through gritty dramas like "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town,In . enough allowing him to attempt more heady roles, like next year's "Argo." This is actually the one where he's a CIA operative showing up included in a film crew to have the ability to save diplomats who was simply taken hostage, all in 1979 Tehran. The film they're pretending to use on? Naturally, it's a sci-fi film referred to as "Argo." This primary photo shows him searching somewhat shaggy, somewhat determined definitely not the clean-cut wise guy he acquired his early career heartthrob status through. He's searching very deliberately at some documents, but we've got not a clue what they may be. Maybe it's a Denny's menu. Maybe there's a comic book behind it. (Not likely.) "Argo" also features other stars who've seen career revivals lately, lifers like Bryan Cranston, Alan Arkin, John Goodman, and Kyle Chandler. With this particular much pure acting energy, it seems like "Argo" will probably be well worth needing to pay concentrate on if the arrives next season. Affleck also directs the film, and when you factor in his strong eye for layout and action in "Gone Baby Gone" and "The Town,In . you'll recognize it the ideal choice.

Odd Holiday Traditions for David Letterman

NY (AP) Think holiday traditions and mistletoe, eggnog and caroling come to mind. David Letterman's Christmas includes target practice at a giant meatball, the Lone Ranger and singer Darlene Love.Each has become part of CBS "Late Show" lore through the years, their appearances anticipated by fans like wrapped presents under a tree. The traditions return Friday.Comic Jay Thomas will be back to try to knock a meatball off the top of a Christmas tree with a football and recount his Lone Ranger anecdote again. Love will sing "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" as fake snow flutters to the stage."The best traditions are the ones you can't plan," said Rob Burnett, executive producer of "Late Show.""These happened very organically on our show and it is very silly and very goofy. It makes sense with the sensibility of the 'Late Show' to be part of our tradition."Letterman's on-set Christmas tree is frequently decorated with oddities, such as the meatball on top instead of a star, angel or bow.It all started one night back in 1998 when NY Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde was a guest. He and Letterman picked up footballs and began tossing them at the tree, aiming for the meatball. Watching their failures impatiently from the wings was Thomas, former quarterback at tiny Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte, N.C.Thomas had discussed trying the target practice with Letterman before the show, but no one told that to stage manager Biff Henderson. He blocked Thomas from going out onstage."I fake to the right and Biff goes to catch me and I run around him like a scramble," said Thomas, who picked up a football and threw with laserlike accuracy at the meatball, accomplishing in one throw what the NFL quarterback couldn't in several.Testaverde has been forgotten, but Thomas is invited back each year to see if he can repeat his feat.Around the same time Thomas isn't sure exactly when Letterman heard about a story Thomas told of his time as a radio DJ in the South when he and a friend had to give a ride to Clayton Moore, star of television's "Lone Ranger." We won't be spoilers; Letterman has called it the "best story I've ever heard."The story, too, is repeated each year. Thomas said he and Letterman have never discussed why it has become a tradition. It just has."It is the craziest thing I have ever been a part of," he said.Thomas practices before each appearance, taking a football into Central Park and aiming at a particular tree branch.Two years ago Letterman knocked off the meatball with his own throw before Thomas even came out onstage, leaving the comic whose acting career has cooled to moan in fake distress: "This is all I have!"Last year Thomas needed a cortisone shot to make the show after he had injured his shoulder throwing a golf ball. "They're shooting me up like a racehorse to make $760 and hit a friggin' meatball," he said.He's heard from plenty of people who look forward to his annual appearance, including a well-known Hollywood movie director. The power player, who Thomas wouldn't name, confessed that he's bipolar and often plays a recording of the holiday show when he's glum. Thomas is glad to cheer up the director. He'd like it even more if he could get an audition for one of the man's movies.The Darlene Love tradition has deeper roots. Letterman bandleader Paul Shaffer learned early on when he tried to play "Monster Mash" on Halloween that his boss isn't much into holiday music. But Love's "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," originally recorded for the landmark 1963 holiday album "A Christmas Gift for You," is "the one place where his and my holiday tastes coincide," Shaffer said. "He loves the song."Shaffer was performing with Love in Ellie Greenwich's musical "Leader of the Pack" in winter 1984 and Letterman came to see them. Shaffer isn't sure which man had the idea of inviting her on the show then televised on NBC but everyone was pleased with the results.The first time, Shaffer accompanied Love with a quartet. As the years went on musicians were added to approximate original producer Phil Spector's "Wall of Sound," and upward of 20 musicians and singers have been onstage with Love.Each year's twist involves how red-suited saxophone player Bruce Kapler will appear for his solo: One year he burst through a chimney. The widow of famed sax session player Steve Douglas, who played on the original "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" recording, sold Shaffer the horn used on that session, and Kapler borrows it each year for Love's appearance.Letterman's staff has a real emotional connection to the song, enhanced with the passage of time, Burnett said."Every year there's a moment in the song, where she is hitting it full blast and the confetti comes down, just about every staff member even the toughest stagehand you can see just choking it back," he said.All of it the football, the meatball, the anecdote and the song make for an odd mix.

Reese Witherspoon Attached to West Memphis Three Movie 'Devil's Knot'

Prashant Gupta / FX FX and Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter have prevailed in a lawsuit filed by an ex-Hell's Angel biker who claimed the idea for the hit drama series was stolen.our editor recommends'Glee,' 'Sons of Anarchy' Added to Amazon Prime Instant Video Streaming Service'Sons of Anarchy' Creator Kurt Sutter on Season 4's Bold Finale and Season 5 PlansFurious 'Sons of Anarchy' Creator Tells DirecTV Viewers 'You're Getting F---ed Over'; Reveals Banned Script Chuck Zito sued FX for $5 million in June 2010 claiming he had developed a show called Nomads (later The Wild Angels) and had agents at ICM set up a pitch meeting in 2004 with FX chief John Landgraf, during which Zito says he discussed ideas for a show about a motorcycle club. FX passed on the project but later developed Sutter's Sons, which ICM packaged and which recently concluded its 4th season as a big hit for the network.

"Defendants breached an implied-in-fact contract with defendant." VIDEO: 'Sons of Anarchy': Ron Perlman Says Season 4 Was a Challenge At the time, Sutter took to his twitter account to blast the lawsuit, saying: "HAVING THE F***ING IDEA IS NOT THE SHOW.

The judge relied on declarations submitted by Sutter, Landgraf and talent agent Matt Solo (now with WME), among others, showing Sutter's development process and the fact that Sons was pitched to several networks, including HBO and AMC, before arriving at FX, which bought the project in a bidding war. The judge saw no reason for the case to continue past the summary judgment phase. We've reached out to Zito's attorneys for comment.

Created by Scott Rudin, Ole Sondberg, Soren Staermose, Cean Chaffin. Executive producers, Zaillian, Mikael Wallen, Anni Faurbye Fernandez. Co-producers, Berna Levin, Eli Rose bush. Directed by David Fincher. Script, Steven Zaillian, in line with the book by Stieg Larsson, initially released by Norstedts.Mikael Blomkvist - Difficulties Lisbeth Salander - Rooney Mara Henrik Vanger - Christopher Plummer Martin Vanger - Stellan Skarsgard Frode - Steven Berkoff Erika Berger - Robin Wright Bjurman - Yorick van Wageningen Anita Vanger - Joely Richardson Cecilia - Geraldine James Armansky - Goran Visnjic Det. Morell - Jesse Sumpter Wennerstrom - Ulf FribergIf ever an environment might be referred to as dank, fetid yet oddly luxurious, it is the chill leaking through every corrosively beautiful frame of "The Lady Using the Dragon Tattoo." As classy a movie as might be produced from Stieg Larsson's sordid page-turner, David Fincher's much-anticipated go back to serial-killer territory is really a fastidiously harsh pulp entertainment that plays just like a first-class train ride through progressively bleaker circles of hell. When the brooding intelligence and technical mastery displayed sometimes feel disproportionate towards the material, Rooney Mara's riveting undertake Lisbeth Salander nicely validates what will probably be Fincher's greatest success up to now. The worldwide recognition of Larsson's posthumously released "Millennium" trilogy should assist the The new sony release overcome numerous commercial hurdles, together with a no-bull R rating, moments of implied sexual assault, along with a pacey but unhurried 158-minute running time. This British-lingo adaptation is coming not lengthy following a broadly seen Swedish version (which made $104 million worldwide as well as an impressive $ten million within the U.S. this past year) could hinder its worldwide prospects to some extent, but overall, the need to determine what Hollywood has wrought from Larsson's literary juggernaut should lure franchise addicts, casual fans and mildly curious holdouts. What they are set for is really a substantially slicker and much more sophisticated bit of film craft compared to Swedish production or either of their Nordic TV sequels. The film telegraphs its exceptional production values and acrid tone and among Fincher's typically arresting credits sequences: an immediate-fire craze of images variously evoking sex, violence, birth, technology and immolation, set to some furious cover of Brought Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" featuring Karen O. It's most probably a howl of rage in the ravaged psyche of Lisbeth Salander (Mara), the dragon-inked Goth girl whose black mohawk, bondage gear and do not-mess-with-me attitude hide a troubled history in addition to among Sweden's great investigative minds. Hewing more faithfully towards the novel than its predecessor did, Steven Zaillian's smartly trimmed script divides it is time between Salander, a very gifted hacker and professional snoop, and the newest subject of 1 of her expert background inspections, Stockholm-based magazine journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Difficulties). Openly disgraced after losing a higher-profile libel situation rigged with a corrupt mogul (Ulf Friberg), Blomkvist requires a powder and relocates on impulse towards the remote Hedeby Island there, Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer), aging patriarch from the wealthy, infamously fractious Vanger family, has designated him to discover what went down to Henrik's niece Harriet, who, as portrayed in beautifully hued flashbacks, inexplicably disappeared in the island a lot more than 4 decades ago. Blomkvist eventually unmasks not only a killer but a very disturbing record of generational sin etched within the Vanger dynasty's DNA and, by extension, the material associated with a Western capitalist society. Without excessively underlining the subtext, the film fully maintains Larsson's very finely veiled indictment of corporate skulduggery, anti-Semitism, child abuse and, most importantly, unspeakably sadistic crimes against women (not for free was the novel released in Sweden underneath the title "Males Who Hate Women"). Fittingly, it's Salander who can serve as not just a victim of these violence, but an avenging dark angel. To that particular finish, editors Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall crosscut frequently between Blomkvist's analysis along with a disturbing parallel narrative by which Salander, a ward from the condition, must cope with a predatory legal advocate (Yorick van Wageningen). Just like the Swedish pic, the moments by which this sadist abuses his authority will prove probably the most hard to watch, although here the degradation is much more implied than seen, shot dimly and from the well-judged distance, without any hint of leering or exploitation past the calculated satisfaction of watching Salander turn the tables. Blomkvist eventually employs Salander like a research assistant, starting a collaboration that sparks professional and romantic sparks and brings the analysis to some boil. Because the two make use of the most advanced technology to resurrect old files, photos and cuttings, their MacBooks commanding as much screentime his or her faces, Fincher charts their progress with unerring focus and agility intuitively, one picks up reverberations from the helmer's past work, particularly the razor-sharp techno-savvy of "The Social Networking" and also the procedural rigor of "Zodiac." Yet in which the obsessive mission for understanding for the reason that 2007 film was predicated around the unknowability from the truth, "The Lady Using the Dragon Tattoo" is finally disappointed with a yarn that contents itself with easy solutions and couple of residual mysteries. For the fetishistic attention Fincher and the crew lavish on every nasty forensic detail, they are not able to transmute Larsson's rudimentary mystery plotting into some thing than pop-lit fare. What remains, then, may be the hypnotic presence of Mara, who fearlessly steps right into a role made legendary by Swedish thesp Noomi Rapace and proves a lot more than comparable to the task. Whereas Rapace stressed the character's pluck and rage, the greater petite, vulnerable-searching Mara presents Salander being an purged-out enigma: Pierced towards the nines, her eye brows dyed a pale complexion in order to drain any readable emotion from her face, she frequently averts her gaze downward from whoever she might be addressing. It is a gesture at the same time defensive and defiant, bespeaking many years of suffered abuse and alienation, yet despite her blank affect, the actress charges every moment with tension and feeling. Though he's a far more compelling Blomkvist than Swedish inventor Michael Nyqvist, Craig still ensures to provide the smoothness as a little of the schlump, tamping lower his leading-guy charisma to permit Mara to decisively claim the spotlight. The duo's frequently darkly funny rapport takes care of with startling emotion within the final reels, possibly probably the most satisfying surprise from the filmmaker whose temperament has generally been as frigid because the film's Swedish landscapes. Casting elsewhere is ideal lower towards the littlest roles, particularly Robin Wright as Blomkvist's gorgeous editor/lover Stellan Skarsgard as Harriet's genial brother, Martin and, regardless of the excision of great importance and of her material in the novel, Geraldine James as Henrik's inquisitive grandniece, Cecilia. The slight variability from the ensemble's Swedish accents (Craig maintains his British enunciation) is really a minor although not annoying flaw. Using the outstanding aid of d.p. Shaun Cronenweth and production designer Jesse Graham Burt, Fincher has made a grey, strongly creepy world consistent with Larsson's cynical vision spanning glassy modern offices and moneyed estates in addition to squalid houses and rustic bungalows, it is a place where evil hides in plain sight, or even a well-hired apartment or perhaps an island getaway can change to be considered a sicko's torture chamber. Sometimes transporting echoes of the focus on "Social Networking," Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' score blends dread with driving momentum, creating a highly unsettling mood with recurring dissonances, eerie windchimes and pulsing reverb effects.Camera (Luxurious color, widescreen), Shaun Cronenweth editors, Kirk Baxter, Angus Wall music, Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross production designer, Jesse Graham Burt supervisory art director, Mikael Varhelyi art company directors, Frida Arvidsson, Kajsa Severin, Pernilla Olsson set decorator, Linda Janson costume designer, Trish Summerville seem (Dolby Digital/SDDS/Datasat), Bo Persson re-recording mixers, David Parker, Michael Semanick, Klyce seem designer, Ren Klyce visual effects supervisor, Eric Barba visual effects, Digital Domain additional visual effects, the 3rd & the Seventh, Proebius, Savage Visual Effects, Method Galleries, Ollin VFX, A52, Eden Forex, Colorworks stunt planners, Kimmo Rajala, Ben Cooke line producer, Malte Forssell assistant director, Bob Wagner casting, Laray Mayfield.
