Ron Howard Might Direct From His Daughter's Screenplay
Bryce Dallas Howard wrote a movie and guess who might direct it? That's right, just in time for Father's Day, there's talk of a sweet little father-daughter project, reteaming Bryce Dallas Howard (actress-turned-screenwriter) and her father, director Ron Howard. The dramatic movie is titled The Originals and is described as "an ensemble film about a group of twentysomethings who reconvene for a weekend in New York after learning that the teacher who shaped their childhoods has fallen into a mysterious coma."
Angels and Demons: Information Overload
Angels and Demons reunites Tom Hanks and Ron Howard for another Dan Brown adaptation. While Brown's book was a prequel to the author's best-selling The Da Vinci Code, this installment in the movie franchise is set up as a sequel.
The Da Vinci Code received awful reviews when it debuted, mostly due to its excruciatingly slow pace.
Julia Showers Tom With Love and a Few Naughty Words
Tom Hanks was the man of the hour last night at the 36th Film Society of Lincoln Center's Gala in NYC. Rita Wilson sparkled on his arm, while Ron Howard framed the perfect shot of Tom and Julia Roberts. Fresh off her trip to Venice, Charlize couldn't help but gush about Salma Hayek's wedding and how beautiful the bride looked in her gown.
Movie Preview: Angels and Demons
We got a taste of Ron Howard's followup to his 2006 film The DaVinci Code a few months ago, and a longer peek aired during the Super Bowl. Now, a full-length trailer for Angels and Demons, in all its dramatic mysteriousness, has hit the web. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, this time working to "solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican."
Boys in Black Ties Brave the Rain For the BAFTAs
In addition to all of those well-dressed women at the Royal Opera House in London last night, the men of the acting world also rose to the glittering occasion and got suited and booted for the 2009 BAFTA Awards. Best Actor recipient Mickey Rourke jazzed up his outfit with accessories and satin while Brad Pitt went for classic elegance in his dickie bow. Orange Rising Star winner Noel Clarke and nominee Toby Kebbell looked dapper in their threads, while Dominic Cooper and Nicholas Hoult smiled wide as they supported their fellow actors.

Frost/Nixon: A Solid and Entertaining Talkathon
Doubt and Frost/Nixon have a lot in common: Both are stage-to-screen adaptations, both are receiving a lot of awards buzz, and neither has a particularly compelling visual story to tell. Instead, the drama lies in the words people are saying. I've heard both of these movies referred to as "grown-up" cinema, which is probably apt given that it takes a pretty mature attention span to fully appreciate them.
Fox Searchlight Reportedly Picks Up Arrested Development Movie!
If all the "sources" are correct, Arrested Development fans have something to celebrate today: The movie is a go!
Yup, I think I just blue myself.
The Hollywood Reporter is saying today that Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard are "reportedly closing deals for the long-gestating project from Imagine and Fox Searchlight."
