 It’s time to dive, dive in deep…well, at least as deep as you can in May. As I attempted to unveil the newest set of Oscar Predictions, I realized how many promising films are left to be seen in the remaining seven months. As of now, the only real Best Picture contender that has the legs to make it until the end of the year would be Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell, and that’s a longshot at best given its genre. You can make arguments for films like The Place Beyond the Pines by Derek Cianfrance and even Mud by Jeff Nichols but those will need a well-placed DVD release with a focused campaign, something I’m not sure the studios are willing to bet on. Cianfrance’s film also has an outside shot for Screenplay and a Supporting Actor mention for Ryan Gosling. If anything, this helps him for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives, if they’re feeling like recognizing him a second time. It feels like eons ago when Gosling was nominated for Ryan Fleck’s Half Nelson (2006) and then later missed other opportunities for Lars and the Real Girl (2007), Blue Valentine (2010), and Drive (2011). Not sure when it will be before he gets back onto the Oscar radar.
Down below, why don’t we start taking a look at the slate by each studio and assess where their money will and should go throughout the season. Read more on Oscar Circuit – The Studio Assessment Part 1…

 For a while, I really doubted that Martin Scorsese was ever going to get around to making Silence, a longtime dream project of his that’s always seemed to be the “next” film that he wants to do, only to have one more movie jump to the head of the line (he’s even had casting somewhat set up, notably including Daniel Day-Lewis, Benecio Del Toro, and Gael Garcia Bernal headlining).
Most recently, that happened to the flick with The Wolf of Wall Street, even leading to lawsuits, but in the last few days Scorsese himself has actually declared this to really be his next film. He plans to shoot it next year, which means it most likely will be a 2015 awards contender, but you never know there. For those who don’t remember or know, Silence is an adaptation of a novel by Shusaku Endo that deals with 17th century Jesuits who risk their lives to try to bring Christianity to Japan. Scorsese himself penned the adaptation with Jay Cocks, so this is one that could really be something special. After the jump you can see what the book is about in slightly more detail, but stay tuned for more on this one as Marty might be at Cannes to talk more about it. Fingers crossed that he can get his original cast of Day-Lewis, Del Toro, and Bernal back together for it.

 It’s March! We get started right away and over the past few weeks after the Oscar ceremony, I took some brief stabs at some categories. Those have been tinkered with and will be reflected on the actual Oscar Prediction pages in the next couple of days. The full listing of predicted nominees is on the sidebar with the list of contenders on the Oscar Prediction pages for Picture, Director, Lead Actor, Lead Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay, and Animated Feature.
Obviously categories like Original Song are merely speculation because we don’t know what film will have an eligible song attached. Disney and Pixar films are good for a song or two so that’s always a good place to start. Read more on Oscar Circuit – 2014 Films and Minority Contenders…

 Directed By: Martin Scorsese
Written By: Terence Winter (Based on the Jordan Belfort memoir of the same name)
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, Matthew McConaughey, Jean Dujardin, Kyle Chandler, Jon Bernthal, Jon Favreau, Rob Reiner, Spike Jonze, Margot Robbie, Kenneth Choi, Joanna Lumley, and Ethan Suplee
Synopsis (From IMDB): A New York stockbroker refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, corporate banking world and mob infiltration.
Why It Could Succeed:
Anytime the 21st century’s greatest actor-director duo team up for a motion picture, the world pays attention. At this moment in time, there is no 2013 release that’s as close to the Oscar® podium as The Wolf of Wall Street is. Leo and Marty have a proven track record that’s borderline unstoppable. Three of their four collaborative projects have all gone on to receive an Academy Award nomination for “Best Picture,” and the only film that failed to do so was Shutter Island, whose early release date damaged its awards contention status. The irony? Shutter Island became Martin Scorsese’s highest grossing film of all-time and one of the top earners to come from the dry month of February. The lesson when it comes to Scorsese and DiCaprio: you win some…and then you win bigger.

Luc Besson’s (The Professional) newest gangster drama, Malavita (which we spoke about briefly on this week’s Power Hour), will be produced by someone who knows a little something about mob films – Martin Scorsese. Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Tommy Lee Jones headline the cast. Have a look at the press release after the jump.

One of the great directors of all time, Martin Charles Scorsese, turns 70 years old this weekend, on November 17th. He has been the recipient of many awards, including winning an Oscar, a Grammy, Emmys, Golden Globes, BAFTAs, a Palme d’Or, and DGA Awards. Known mostly for dark, violent, crime films like Mean Streets (1972), Taxi Driver (1976), Goodfellas (1990), Cape Fear (1991), Casino (1995), Gangs of New York (2002), The Departed (2006), and his award-winning HBO drama series, Boardwalk Empire, Scorsese has delivered much more beyond the genre.

At the Singapore Gala
A loose cross between Sherlock Holmes (2009) and Marvel’s The Avengers (2012), the Chinese film, The Four (2012), marks the beginning of an amazing era of filmmaking for Asia. Bringing together the traditional Eastern fighting styles with the advancing technology in visual effects, it is believed that international films can, finally, compete with those made in Hollywood. One of the filmmakers in the forefront of bringing this about is none other than Gordon Chan (Ka-Seung), the producer, writer and director of The Four. Read more on China’s Answer to Scorsese…

 I don’t think anyone doubted that the new Martin Scorsese/Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn’t come out during the thick of the Oscar season next year, but we’ve got a bit more of a solid confirmation now with the announcement that Paramount will be distributing ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ in 2013. What little we’ve got on it doesn’t necessary suggest that it’ll be a clear and easy sell for the Academy, but its folly to bet against this pairing now. After the jump you can get a quick refresher on what the flick is about, but stay tuned for lots more on this one, as it’s got over a year to prep us for its release. Read on below for a bit more on Marty’s latest collaboration with Leo…

 Earlier I speculated about what the Secret Screening planned for the New York Film Festival would be, but I ultimately excluded the film that will wind up playing. Yes, I can confirm to you all that Steven Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln‘ will be making its world debut on Monday at NYFF. Last year of course the same venue launched ‘Hugo’ on to the Oscar stage and ultimately led to it doing quite well with the Academy, so I can only assume that the motivation is to do the same for ‘Lincoln’. After the jump I’ll speculate on why this film was chosen and what it beat out, so to speak, but stay tuned for our first reaction to the flick late on Monday night! Read on below for more on this very surprising announcement…

 HBO broke out in a big way at last night’s Creative Arts Emmys racking up 17 wins, including 6 for its top rated series Game of Thrones. CBS lead all broadcast networks with 13 wins and NBC’s SMASH beat out heavy favorite So You Think You Can Dance to win Best Choreography. In an interesting twist, both Julia Ormond and Ben Feldmen lost their respective Guest Actor categories, bringing Mad Men‘s to a whopping 21 acting losses. Will that carry over to the Primetime Emmy Awards? The Creative Arts Emmys highlight Guest Actors and below the line talent before the Primetime Emmy Awards and will air this coming Saturday on ReelzChannel. Check out the full list after the jump!

 The great and the good films of the eighties were often box office failures, re-discovered within a few years by audiences and critics on video, as home entertainment brought a whole new world to audiences and the movies. Suddenly audiences could watch the films at home, on their TV by renting a video, which became a huge success, and video rental stores popped up all over North America. Within a year of release a film was on video, sometimes longer, and there were holdouts from directors and studios who believed films should be seen on the big screen, though eventually they gave in to the new toy that would help save the business. Suddenly it was possible for a film that initially failed to be found within a year and celebrated for the work of art it was, rather than waiting years, which had been the case for Citizen Kane (1941) and The Wizard of Oz (1939). An example might be Blow Out (1981), celebrated by critics, but audiences stayed away in droves, only to find the film on video, making it something of a cult classic. The new medium would allow audiences of the next generation and beyond to be the best educated film audience in history, simply because of the sheer availability of the films. I remember coming home for the weekend from college, and Dad having been among the first in our area to buy a VCR would stop at the video store and I would rent ten movies. It was like John’s wet dream, movies at my fingertips. Suddenly I could see films I had wanted to see again, films I had not seen, and foreign language work that had not made it to the theaters in my area. It was incredible.

 If you love the movies, you owe it to yourself to see ‘Side by Side’. This documentary on the past, present, and future of cinema filtered aptly through the lens of the celluloid vs. digital debate is engrossing, entertaining, and vital. Somehow, filmmaker Christopher Kenneally and producer/interviewer/narrator Keanu Reeves manage to not make this project too inside baseball for the layman or laywoman, but at the same time it gets into the details in such a way that even experts won’t be bored. Digital and photochemical filmmaking have their passionate defenders, and the documentary gives both of them equal time. Reeves actually spends most of the time playing devil’s advocate (an amusing coincidence, no?) with A-list directors and cinematographers (plus some editors, studio executives, and businessmen working on the cameras being debated about), leading the doc to actually be the rare breed that isn’t advocating for one side or the other. Shooting on film is romanticized to a degree, but its limitations are made clear. Shooting digitally is presented as the wave of the future here today, but also not without some huge issues that detract from it. This is the type of thing every film school student should see in a 101 class, but moreover every film lover should see. It’s informative, but it’s also a lot of fun. Anyone who’s had the film vs. digital argument will adore what’s going on here. I can’t see anybody who enjoys film not enjoying this documentary, and that’s a rare statement.

 Just two years after his re-election to the Presidency with the largest margin of votes in American Presidential history, Richard Nixon would resign in 1974 amidst the Watergate scandal. The actions of the President and his White House staff left the nation reeling, a corruption of trust from which they might never have recovered to this day. Vice President Gerald Ford would pardon Nixon, an act which might have cost him the election which saw Jimmy Carter become the President.
Movies were never better than they were in the seventies. With taboos gone, filmmakers were free to create films about anything they desired, thus drug addiction, divorce, prostitution, mental illness, homosexuality, impotence, psychosis, and Vietnam found their way into films through the decade. Nudity and profanity became common place in film, replicating life. Read more on Best of the Decades: 1970s…
 Has an entire decade passed since Martin Scorsese’s massive and flawed, and massively flawed Gangs of New York (2002) thundered onto screens for the first time? It seems like yesterday that I was reading the film’s release date being delayed a full year in light of 9/11, which also permitted Scorsese to film further scenes and edit the film down to a reasonable length, all to the anger of Weinstein.
A dream project of Scorsese’s, he was invited to make the film for Miramax, which meant working with Harvey Weinstein, perhaps the only man in the industry with a temper as volatile as the director. Of course, Weinstein had an agenda, bringing an important director such as Scorsese to Miramax made his company all the more impressive, and Weinstein believed for the film, Scorsese would finally win that long elusive Academy Award. Why? Because he said so. Read more on Martin Scorsese’s “Gangs of New York” – Ten Years Later…

Oscar Predictions, how I love thee yet how I hate thee. As I revealed the newest set of predictions this time around and took a look at the next five months, I haven’t dived into serious awards analysis in a while. A lot of the reason was I felt it was too early and we didn’t know enough. I had an epiphany recently however; we never know what the Oscars are thinking. Even after critics’ awards drop, Golden Globes, SAG, Critics Choice Awards are televised; all mean nothing at the end of the day. Oscar will always do what she wants to do, even when everyone is telling her the obvious choices.
Granted, I am one of the few that thinks they can actually pick some great choices among their winners. I was and still am in the camp that Michel Hazanavicius’ The Artist was the best film of last year. I couldn’t have chosen a better film. Does that mean everything that accompanied The Artist was the best? Absolutely not. What Oscar often lacks are edgy, loud, or mainstream choices. Could they have found room for Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive or for its leading man Ryan Gosling? How about Steve McQueen’s Shame with the best leading male performance of the year, Michael Fassbender? Like I said, they’re not perfect. And here’s a look into the future…they never will be.
I am a firm believer that in ten, fifteen years time, we may have an Academy that embraces films like The Dark Knight or performances like Tang Wei in Lust, Caution. It’s not THAT time yet. Read more on Too Many Actors, Too Little Spaces – A Look at Best Actor…

 After playing a tap dancing and smiling his way into Oscars heart in The Artist, Jean Dujardin’s next role will be of a slightly darker hue. The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the Frenchman will be joining Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonah Hill, and Emmy winner Kyle Chandler in The Wolf of Wall Street. Dujardin will play Jean-Jacques Handali, a money-laundering Swiss banker. The Scorsese directed project, is about a stock broker who served 20 months in prison for participating in a massive 1990s securities fraud that involved widespread corruption on Wall Street and in the corporate banking world, including mob infiltration.

 When Tom Cruise sits down to speak with you he gives you his full attention, his eyes locked with yours, his smile easy and often, the welcoming handshake firm and strong. You feel that the two of you are alone in the world at that moment; he has that effect when he comes into the room and gives you that attention. He is at once down to earth, and yet I was aware I was speaking one of the biggest stars in movie history. I liked Cruise at once, and did not listen to the often circulated rumors about his private life, which frankly, are not any of my business, nor do they have anything to do with what I am writing about! He asked me if I had children and we chatted about my family briefly, discussed his career and performances, and at the time, 1998, he indicated that something was coming that was going to change how people perceived him. Later next year I discovered of course he had been talking about Magnolia (1999) and he was right, it certainly did alter some of the perceived beliefs about Cruise. He cared about being an actor; he cares deeply about his craft and is striving always to be a better actor, but is aware of a fan base that likes him in certain films. Admittedly, he knows he must be both actor and movie star. Read more on Tom Cruise — Ten Best Performances…

 After delighting audience and Oscar voters last year with Hugo, Scorsese is returning to to the past for his next film. Variety is reporting that the legendary director is teaming up with Richard Attenborough to produce a biopic, Silver Ghost, that will chronicle the founding of the Rolls-Royce car company. The drama will revolve around motoring pioneer Lord John Douglas-Scott Montagu of Beaulieu and his friendship with Rolls-Royce founders Charles Rolls and Henry Royce, his relationship with wife Cis and his secret love affair with his secretary, Eleanor Velasco Thornton. Thorton was the inspiration for the iconic Spirit of Ecstasy mascot, designed by British sculptor Charles Sykes, which to this day adorns all Rolls-Royce cars.

 It’s hard to imagine that anyone pegged Jonah Hill as an in demand dramatic actor just a few years ago, but it looks like his Oscar nominated role in ‘Moneyball’ has opened a ton of new doors for him. The Hollywood Reporter has announced here that Hill is now going to co-star with Leonardo DiCaprio in his latest collaboration with Martin Scorsese, the drama ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’. It appears that he’ll be DiCaprio’s friend and someone else who gets roped into the world of fast times and high finance. Hit the jump to read where I think Hill’s career is headed next, but in short…I love this casting choice.

 Riding high off of the Oscar success of ‘Hugo’, Martin Scorsese might have been inclined to push forward with any of his long in development projects, with the passion project ‘Silence’ chief among them, but according to The Playlist, the temptation to team up with Leonardo DiCaprio again has proven too enticing. Here’s the story…
Well, it looks like Martin Scorsese’s passion project “Silence” — long expected to be his next film — will have to keep waiting, but another film that has been in the works for a while, is now kicked back to life and wil shoot later this year.
