Rob Marshall will be directing the fourth "Pirates"
Back in July there was a rumor, though director fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" will be Rob Marshall - the man who made the musicals "Chicago" and "Nine." And now the director confirmed it: yes, he will shoot the film "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides".
The director is pinned to the wall at the press events dedicated to the "Nine." When asked what would be his next project, Rob said: "Well, you know, I have proposed here is that no one would have thought that I would do it, but I thought: why not? .. in general, I'll shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean".
As the portal Ain't It Cool, Marshall, like how even said that it has met with Johnny Depp, and they were both delighted with the fact that they will work together.
Meanwhile, British tabloid The Sun reports that Depp as if has beaten out to itself for the fourth film of 33.6 million dollars of the fee. Believe still impossible - but the newspaper is often reported to us real news.
So you can grab his heart with joy. Johnny, firstly, just to be in "Pirates." Secondly - it is there might be he will singing and dancing)) for which he received his millions)) we rubs our hands in impatience!
Rambo 5: The fantasy is not to be
Sylvester Stallone rejected a fantastic script fifth series of the franchise «Rambo».
According to Stallone, dealing with script and producing the project, opposition to the real hero of fictional superbeing allegedly escaped from a military special laboratories, looks too "eccentric", and viewers are likely to "not understand" idea.
On the basis of such reflections, Stallone made a choice in favor of the first version of the scenario under which John Rambo is fighting with the very real and relevant Mexican drug traffickers and living goods. Artist starring promised that the film would not return to the military theme, but the blood in it "would be a lot."
The names of the stars no longer attract moviegoers
Hollywood is an urgent need to review policy in relation to the stars of class A. Cash Fees recent films are increasingly saying that celebrities are no longer the determining factor in choosing a movie. Viewer prefers the original story and no longer willing to pay only for the name.
It seems that the days when Hollywood stars get a few tens of millions of dollars, is gradually running out. 2009 was revealing in terms of films, have earned large sums of money, but not the shining stars of the first category.
For example, the comedy "Bachelor Party in Vegas," has collected in world hire 459 million dollars with the most famous actors were listed Bradley Cooper and Hezer Graham, but they are not included in the cohort of high-paid actors. Shooting picture cost of $ 35 million - by Hollywood standards is a small amount.
Slightly less than 30 million dollars worth "District number 9" Nile Blomkampa. Name the actor Sharlto Koupli became known only after the film received a warm reception at the box office. Audience and critics for once ever merged into a single impulse, which provided a picture of almost 200 million in worldwide box office.
And a hundred million in U.S. money-box "Paranormal," which was filmed for the ridiculous 15 000 dollars. It is unlikely that you will be able to say the names of the lead actors.
Already this week released the long-awaited sequel to "Twilight" - "New Moon". The first film has made Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart stars in the world scale, but the actors do not earn tens of millions. Studio Summit, launches a franchise, make the reservation fees stars vampire drama. In connection with the crisis, high salaries are becoming a rarity: studios save, as they can. "New Moon" was more expensive than its predecessor, but analysts expect that the budget of $ 50 million will pay for itself in global box office even in the first weekend.
But the big stars out of luck. Jim Carrey, lent his talent and the voice of several characters of the Christmas story, not become bait for the audience: the film has collected in America for two weeks only 63 million dollars, and the tape budget totals an order of 200 million.
Among the losers, also Bruce Willis with his "Surrogates", Will Ferrel and his disastrous "The Lost World," with Julia Roberts thriller "Duplicity," and Adam Sandler, not made the expected cash "Funny People" - tape Judd Apatow with a budget of 75 million not collected in the world, even an amount equal to the budget and stopped, nearly topping over 61 million.
According Hollywood insiders, stars, calling for their work around 15 million dollars, can remain unused.

STING: Fools
British legend Sting is very unflattering comments about the British television show X-Factor, calling it absurd and downright terrifying. Musician said everything that, in general, and so well known, but that is no less true: that the project stamp of the same artists and actually stifles creativity at its root. And what of the judges for the soul is nothing but the desire to make ourselves advertising. And for those who want to get through without changing yourself is to use the old proven scheme - starting with small areas, gradually moving forward. It is hard, but who said that it would be easy? Although the British musical industrial experiencing now is not the best of times, X-Factor and its analogues can not improve the situation, added the composer.

New life of old cinemas
Old cinemas withdraw in the light. About resuscitation cinemas last week announced in three cities of the world - in Brussels, Hong Kong and Moscow.
Projector saves euro
All the cinemas of the EU countries have promised big money. If working in the old cinema, that is, without a digital projector, most likely he will get in the state program for the refurbishment. All in order to keep pace with the mainstream and help to save.
Major U.S. film studios have long warned that at some point cease to give big pictures in conventional theaters. By the logic of majors, a digital copy of the film easier to deliver, maintain and protect against piracy.
The difference in formats, it seems, is becoming a problem not only for Americans. 90 % of new films in the USA act in film "by digital", and in France only 50 %. If you leave everything as is, American paintings no longer be delivered to the European market, but European films over the ocean did not leave.
Officials of the European Commission decided that now is the time to bring the show to one format. Until the end of this year, with domestic producers, distributors and cinemas EU officials gather suggestions on how to equip digital cinema in Europe. Manufacturers of this story is also on hand - print one copy of the film is about 1000 euro, and digital to 200 euros. The most serious costs in cinemas, the modernization of a cinema will cost 100 thousand euro.
During the first six months of 2009, from 30 thousand movie theaters in the EU only 2,5 thousand were transferred to a digital projector. It turns out that only the installation of digital projection movie theaters in Europe can provide, at least 3 million euro. In Russia, so close to the problem of the digital display still no closer - is that big film networks. While the producers and asked to help with translation one-hall-cinemas to "digital" in each approach to power - in a country such halls more than a third.
Hundreds of movie theaters for the premiere
A small revolution has begun not only in movie theaters of the Old World. Once famous film studio Golden Harvest of Hong Kong announced that it returns to the big film industry, and under this case it would need three years to increase sharply the number of cinemas. Across China will build 600 rooms, now they have Golden Harvest no more than 12.
Golden Harvest studio became famous throughout the world in films with Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and John Woo. Opened in 1970, the film company Golden Harvest immediately staked on independent producers and directors. Golden Harvest was the first Hong Kong film company, which began joint production with foreign studios. The film "Enter the Dragon" Warner Brothers Pictures filmed at the studio Golden Harvest. The Golden Age of Hong Kong-based company ended in the 90th, until the last moment, Golden Harvest has produced five films a year, and focus more on rental business than shooting.
In 2007, the film company founder Raymond Chow has sold a controlling stake in Chinese businessman Wu Kebo, the owner of an international company Orange Sky Entertainment Group. And now, after changing its name to Orange Sky Golden Harvest new leadership finally submitted last week a hard plan to return to film production and expansion of cinemas in China. Director-General Chen Guowei promises to start with a thriller about ancient Chinese warriors, the leadership of this project is called Billy Kong, producer of the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Home: God's sight
The movie "Home" by Jann Arthus-Bertrand is inseparable from the message that it transmits, like the Bible, which cannot be read simply as a book.
The whole picture - a look at the world from above, and documentary photography from a helicopter in the slow motion mode. Under the guidance of renowned French photographer dozens aircrew around the world working on a product that chilly confirms: "We summoned the forces that we cannot control."
Here are just a few figures. To illustrate them in a single two-hour movie, it took 217 days of shooting, 488 hours of digital film and countless coordination with the Ministries of Defense, Air Force and diplomatic consulates in 54 countries around the world:
Since 1950, world population increased 3 times;
By 2050, the Earth will be 200 million environmental refugees;
To produce 1 kilogram of beef are necessary 13 000 liters of water;
In resource-rich countries lives 50% of the population which is below the breadline.
According to the director himself, "these figures have long been known to scientists, but only cinema can bring them up to all on the planet. "Home" is addressed not only developed but also the resources-countries, where mining for export declared a national treasure, and uncontrolled deforestation in remote regions covered by the setbacks paper concerns.
Earlier than in other countries, showing «Home» took place in Russia. Topi bogs of Siberia and the ice of Lake Baikal in the film shows only a few seconds, but looking the film, one can understand what environmental and geopolitical problems will confront Russia in 10 years.
Yann Arthus-Bertrand in no hurry to stun the viewer naturalistic frames: in a film there are no birds floating in oil and blood-stained seals on snow. In an unusual angle - taken from a helicopter, used in the film only two artistic means: music composer Armand Amar and voice-over text. But the voice-over says about exactly what is happening to us now. The film is gradually gaining momentum ...
After the film was no longer want to go home by car. The commentator says a sentence though leaves possibility of a repentance by doing.
See "HOME", if you want to see the modern world through the eyes of God.
