The summer of 2012 isn’t just for comic book geeks and action movie lovers. No, Sony will be offering up a comedy aimed at adult audiences with Hope Springs starring Meryl Streep, Tommy Lee Jones, and Steve Carell. Directed by David Frankel, Hope Springs arrives on August 10, 2012.
The Plot:
Kay (Meryl Streep) and Arnold (Tommy Lee Jones) are a devoted couple, but decades of marriage have left Kay wanting to spice things up and reconnect with her husband. When she hears of a renowned couple’s specialist (Steve Carell) in the small town of Great Hope Springs, she attempts to persuade her skeptical husband, a steadfast man of routine, to get on a plane for a week of marriage therapy. Just convincing the stubborn Arnold to go on the retreat is hard enough – the real challenge for both of them comes as they shed their bedroom hang-ups and try to re-ignite the spark that caused them to fall for each other in the first place.
“Ryan is an extraordinary talent who has been an important part of the Comcast family for a long time,” stated Steve Burke, CEO of NBCUniversal. “We look forward to his continued role on E! and to having him appear on many new places across NBCUniversal, including the TODAY show and at the Olympics. This is a great example of how NBCUniversal is able to provide the perfect home for some of the best people in the business.”
“Joining the Comcast family six years ago was a game changing experience for me. My time at E! has enriched my career – both in-front-of and behind-the-camera – for which I am forever grateful,” said Ryan Seacrest. “Today, I am humbled to have the confidence of Steve Burke, Ted Harbert, Bonnie Hammer and many others within the NBCUniversal family, to strategically extend my relationship to encompass NBC programming. I’m especially looking forward to working with all the stellar on-air talents and producing executives involved in NBC’s news, entertainment and sports divisions, and I’m eager and excited to take on this broader new role.”
Seacrest will be serving as a special correspondent for NBC News’ TODAY. He’ll also be involved with NBC’s primetime coverage of the Olympics, beginning with the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

From Aardman Animations, the studio that brought us Wallace & Gromit, Chicken Run, and Creature Comforts, comes The Pirates! Band of Misfits.
Like their other work, the animation is largely of the stop-motion variety, though CGI was used to flesh out background details. The result is a wonderfully detailed experience that lends itself brilliantly to pairing with 3D. The depth of field created is fantastic and even when utilizing gags that either point or throw objects at the audience, the result is an immersive one should you be headed to the theaters to catch this, ponying up a few extra doubloons for the glasses is well worth it.
As for the story itself, the screenplay is based on two of Gideon Defoe’s novels. He wrote the script himself so while I haven’t read the source material, one would hope fans of the books won’t be angry about their translation should anything have been changed. The story involves a pirate captain – named Pirate Captain – hoping to win Pirate of the Year. He and his crew are led astray by Charles Darwin and eventually must rescue their beloved mascot Polly from the clutches of pirate-hating Queen Victoria. Sure, it’s silly but in the right way.
The voice work is all nicely handled. Hugh Grant was a great choice for Pirate Captain, and he has the likes of Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Anton Yelchin, Al Roker, and Ashley Jensen as his crew. David Tennant (the 10th Doctor Who) voices Charles Darwin, and the amazing Imelda Staunton brings the very necessary gravitas to Queen Victoria. It’s a smart mix of talent whose abilities elevate the movie and bring the script to life.
Now, that’s not to say there isn’t anything that could not have been done better. As much fun as the ride is for about an hour, the last twenty minutes or so are a bit of a drag; almost like the energy had been sucked out of the theater by one of those cyclone vacuums – you know, the ones that don’t need bags, they never lose suction, they’re amazing, they’re … but I digress. The runtime may only be 88 minutes, but you really start to feel each one as the film draws to a close, though thankfully the actual last few minutes end on a high note.
There was a bit of shuffling around by the kids in the audience, particularly in the lower-energy portion of the film, but The Pirates! Band of Misfits is far more fun for adults than most of the other kids fare of 2012 so far. Plenty of background action and scenery will go right over the heads of your children, but it’s this attention to detail that makes the movie a nice change of pace in the genre. And who doesn’t love pirates? This is far better than the Disney ride-turned-franchise (especially the sequels), and hopefully, audiences will appreciate not only how much fun it is but also the artistry on display.
GRADE: B-
The Pirates! Band of Misfits hits theaters on April 27, 2012 and is rated PG for mild action, rude humor and some language.
At the 2012 CinemaCon, The Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson talked about Francis Lawrence being hired to direct Catching Fire, what scene he’s really looking forward to shooting, fame, and what he looks for in a woman.
“I’m here for your gold.” “Afraid we don’t have any gold old man. This is a leper boat,” and once again Pirate Captain (Hugh Grant) has bungled another looting adventure in the animated comedy The Pirates! Band of Misfits.
After 20-plus years of losing the coveted Pirate of the Year Award to other competitors, including Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek), Pirate Captain and his loyal oddball crew set out determined to collect the most booty of all time to ensure a win. While striking out yet again and pillaging for gold, the Captain comes across a young and fairly unknown Charles Darwin (David Tennant).
Darwin, desperate not to walk the plank, tells the frustrated Pirate Captain that his pet parrot Polly might hold the key to endless riches. There’s one catch: in order to try to get the riches, the Captain and his crew must go to London. This is extremely dangerous because Queen Victoria (Imelda Staunton) hates all pirates and would like nothing better than to string up Pirate Captain and his crew for all Londoners to see.
Not wanting to lose the title of Pirate of the Year once again, Pirate Captain and his crew decide to chance it and set sail for London and most likely certain doom.
Funny and silly, The Pirates! Band of Misfits is an animated adventure that benefits from a strong cast of voice talents bringing the characters to life. Hugh Grant is extremely effective as Pirate Captain, a well-meaning, glory-seeking, likable rogue who’s not all that bright. Imelda Staunton is perfectly cast as the overbearing, loud, and obsessive Queen Victoria who wants to eliminate all pirates no matter how much it costs.
One of the few problems with the film is with the pacing, which is awkward and inconsistent. The movie slows to a crawl once the pirates arrive in London. When the pirates are fumbling a looting raid or being chased by enemies, the slapstick and one-liner jokes are very entertaining, but then the film slams on the brakes for way too much dialogue between the goofy characters and it loses both the children and the adults attention in the audience.
Another waste is the 3D, which is only utilized by the filmmakers a few times to have Pirate Captain point his sword at the audience. It’s a complete waste of money for the movie-going public.
Still, with a solid cast and an adventure with plenty of laughs, The Pirates! Band of Misfits is a fun family film that should be seen for the matinee price. So get ready to weigh anchor and set sail to a movie theater near you, matey.
GRADE: C+
The Pirates! Band of Misfits hits theaters on April 27, 2012 and is rated PG for mild action, rude humor and some language.
On April 26th, the 11th Annual Tribeca Film Festival announced its winners from among 89 features and 60 short films representing 46 countries, with War Witch and Una Noche proving to be very popular with the voting jury. “It’s been so gratifying to see the audiences react so positively to the films, and our juries have been equally passionate. I celebrate these immensely talented filmmakers,” stated Nancy Schafer, TFF Executive Director.
“We salute the courage of the jury to award films that not only tell stories about real issues in the world but are beautifully constructed and crafted,” added Frederic Boyer, TFF Artistic Director. “The amazing first-time performances by young actors are a tribute to the creativity of the films and filmmakers.”
WORLD NARRATIVE COMPETITION CATEGORIES:
The jurors for the 2012 World Narrative Competition were Patricia Clarkson, Dakota Fanning, Mike Newell, Lisa Schwarzbaum, Jim Sheridan, and Irwin Winkler.
· The Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature – War Witch, directed by Kim Nguyen (Canada). Winner receives $25,000 and the art award “The Wrinkles of The City, Los Angeles, Carl revealed on wood, 2011” by JR. Sponsored by AKA. The award was given by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Larry Korman, President of AKA.
Jury Comments: “This indelible character study of a girl who becomes a woman before our eyes in the midst of harrowing war gives words to the unspeakable. Riveting, heartbreaking, vivid, and eloquent, the movie balances scenes of crazy enemy hatred with moments of luminous private love.”
Best Actor in a Narrative Feature Film – Dariel Arrechada and Javier Nuñez Florian as Raul and Elio in Una Noche, directed by Lucy Mulloy (UK, Cuba, USA). Winners split $2,500. The award was given by Patricia Clarkson.
Jury Comments: “We give the award for Best Actor in a Narrative Feature to Dariel Arrechada and to Javier Nuñez Florian in Una Noche, for potent individual performances that together are even greater than the sum of their parts. Playing Raul and Elio, young Cuban men who goad each other on in a dream of fleeing Havana for a fantasy of Miami, Dariel locates Raul’s danger and sexual power as precisely as Javier taps into Elio’s essential sweetness. Both young actors are nonprofessionals who took great risks to tell a daring story. Each won our hearts.”
Best Actress in a Narrative Feature Film – Rachel Mwanza as Komona in War Witch, directed by Kim Nguyen (Canada). Winner receives $2,500. The award was given by Jim Sheridan.
Jury Comments: “A nonprofessional actress, this remarkable young woman—barely a teenager when the movie was shot—so fully inhabits her role that there are no borders to her stunning performance, no distance at all between the actress and the unforgettable character Komona.”
Best Cinematography in a Narrative Feature Film – Cinematography by Trevor Forrest and Shlomo Godder, for Una Noche, directed by Lucy Mulloy (UK, Cuba, USA). Winner receives $5,000 and $50,000 in post-production services provided by Company 3. The award was given by Lisa Schwarzbaum.
Jury Comments: “Una Noche reveals a Havana we could never otherwise see, in its jumble of vibrant life, decay, and making do. There’s a ‘you are there’ documentary immediacy to the picture, shot on the fly and in the streets, that keeps us enthralled.”
Special Jury Mention – Alex Catalan for Unit 7. The announcement was made by Lisa Schwarzbaum.
Best Screenplay for a Narrative Feature Film – All In (La Suerte en Tus Manos), written by Daniel Burman and Sergio Dubcovsky and directed by Daniel Burman (Argentina). Winner receives $5,000. The award was given by Irwin Winkler.
Jury Comments: “We are impressed with the movie’s elegant and thoughtful balance of comedic lightness and deepness of soul; its ability to locate universal issues regarding families, lovers, kids, and running a business within the tangy specificity of an Argentinean Jewish poker-playing milieu; and its ability to cram vasectomies and rock ’n’ roll rabbis into the same story without breaking a sweat. Comedy is hard; All In handles it with ease.”
BEST NEW NARRATIVE DIRECTOR:
The jurors for the 2012 Best New Narrative Director Competition were Camilla Belle, Whoopi Goldberg, Susannah Grant, Zach Helm, Courtney Hunt, Kellan Lutz and Leelee Sobieski.
Best New Narrative Director – Lucy Mulloy, director of Una Noche (UK, Cuba, USA). Winner receives $25,000, presented by American Express; $50,000 in post-production services provided by Company 3; and the art award “Red Top, 2012” courtesy of Stanley Whitney & Team Gallery, New York. The award was given by Leelee Sobieski and Deb Curtis from American Express, Vice President, Entertainment Marketing & Sponsorships.
Jury Comments: “Lucy Mulloy’s Una Noche rang the bell inside all of our little director hearts. We simply thought the film was awesome, and it only grew in our esteem as we spoke of it after. It is a film that immediately connects any audience member it can find to the undeniable, hopeful, and naïve intentions of the young. It is so rich in its motivations, and so breathtaking in its outcomes, it is thoughtful and entertaining in perfect balance. Mulloy pulled us through social portrait to family drama, to true crime, to thriller, all with skill, grace, the realized intent of a sophisticated filmmaker, and deep love for humanity. So, Lucy, we would like you to accept the 2012 Best New Narrative Director award, and please consider us for your next picture.”
Special Jury Mention – P. Benoit, director of Stones in the Sun; and Sharon Bar-Ziv, director of Room 514. The announcement was made by Leelee Sobieski and Deb Curtis from American Express.
WORLD DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION CATEGORIES:
The jurors for the 2012 World Documentary Competition were Julia Bacha, Kim Cattrall, K’naan, Michael Moore, and Lucy Walker.
· Best Documentary Feature – The World Before Her, directed by Nisha Pahuja (Canada). Winner receives $25,000 and the art award “An Unpeopled Land in Uncharted Waters, 2010” by Kara Walker; courtesy of Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York. The award was given by Julia Bacha.
Jury Comments: “With unprecedented access, great compassion, and a keen eye for the universal, this year’s winner takes a hard and clear-eyed look at the trials of growing up female in today’s fast-changing world. Following young women who have taken diametrically opposed decisions on how to tackle the influence of global forces in their communities, the filmmaker takes us on a journey to examine how the pressures of faith, fashion, and family are bringing up a generation of women who are desperately searching for meaning amidst a reality of few real choices.”
Special Jury Mention – The Revisionaries, directed by Scott Thurman. The announcement was made by Michael Moore.
· Best Editing in a Documentary Feature – The Flat (Hadira), edited by Tali Halter Shenkar, directed by Arnon Goldfinger, (Israel, Germany). Winner receives $5,000. The award was given by Lucy Walker.
Jury Comments: “For a story so skillfully told that even though we thought this subject had been covered already by many great films, to our surprise a new story emerged that took us by surprise, left us on the edge of our seat, and will stay with us. The story is based on a complicated and murky journey into the unknown; however, thanks to the sure-handed and deceptively simple editing, it unfolded so clearly and powerfully that even a scene of the filmmaker and his mother lost in a rainy graveyard becomes beautifully climactic and memorable. This is a lesson in how a modestly shot family history can transcend its personal nature and become universal in its insights into human psychology thanks to great filmmaking craft.”
BEST NEW DOCUMENTARY DIRECTOR COMPETITION:
The jurors for the 2012 Best New Documentary Director Competition were Stuart Blumberg, Jared Cohen, Rachel Grady, Bethann Hardison, Sal Masekela, Ricki Stern, and Olivia Wilde.
· Best New Documentary Director – Jeroen van Velzen for Wavumba (Netherlands). Winner receives $25,000, presented by American Express; and the art award “Untitled, 1980/2000” courtesy of Cindy Sherman & Metro Pictures. The award was given by Sal Masekela and Deb Curtis from American Express.
Jury Comments: “A modern day Old Man and the Sea tale, set off the coast of Kenya, this lyrical film depicts the story of Masoud, a legend of shark fishing who, along with his young protégé, strives to end his days with one last grand catch. We the jury especially appreciated this new director’s confidence of style, his restraint and his deep relationship to a culture fast disappearing. It is a hypnotic story of man and nature, unafraid of silence, and full of a terrible beauty. We look forward to his next endeavor with great anticipation.”
Special Jury Mention – Christian Bonke and Andreas Koefoed, directors of Ballroom Dancer. The announcement was made by Sal Masekela and Deb Curtis from American Express.
SHORT FILM COMPETITION CATEGORIES:
The 2012 Best Narrative Short Competition jurors were Maureen Chiquet, Hugh Dancy, Aline Brosh McKenna, Bridget Moynahan, Drew Nieporent, Mohammed Saeed Harib, and Shari Springer Berman.
· Best Narrative Short – Asad, directed by Bryan Buckley (USA). Winner receives $5,000, sponsored by Persol; 10,000 feet of film stock donated by Kodak; and the art award “Nantes, 2009” courtesy of Walton Ford & Paul Kasmin Gallery. The award was given by Shari Springer Berman and Andrea Dorigo, President of Luxottica/Persol.
Jury Comments: “Asad is a lyrical, moving and beautifully realized portrayal of a world we rarely get to see in cinema. Every shot of the film is well thought out and specific to this unique world—a fishing village in Somalia. Yet Asad’s most astounding achievement is boasting an array of brilliant performances by a cast of Somali refugees. Congratulations to writer/director Bryan Buckley and his amazing cast on making a short film that is rather large in spirit, ambition and accomplishment.”
Special Jury Mention – Ritesh Batra, writer and director of Café Regular Cairo. The announcement was made by Shari Springer Berman.
The 2012 Best Documentary and Student Short Competition jurors were Scooter Braun, Robert Hammond, Brett Ratner, Susan Sarandon, James Spione, Shailene Woodley, and Susan Zirinsky.
· Best Documentary Short – Paraíso, directed by Nadav Kurtz (USA). Winner receives $5,000, sponsored by Persol, and the art award “Harmonium Mountain V” by Clifford Ross. The award was given by James Spione and Andrea Dorigo, President of Luxottica/Persol.
Jury Comments: “This film is a beautifully crafted portrait of a group of men with a sense of humanity and a very unique view of the world. In 10 minutes we were drawn into a story that told us about human nature, quality of life, economics, race, the importance of family and mortality. The men may be invisible to the world rushing below them, but they see through the windows they’re washing—deep into the lives and souls of the people behind the glass. It’s cinematically exquisite, with light so rich it’s thrilling to watch.”
Special Jury Mention – David Darg and Bryn Mooser, directors of Baseball in the Time of Cholera. The announcement was made by James Spione.
Student Visionary Award – Stitches, directed by Adiya Imri Orr (Israel). Winner receives support from Apple and the art award “Waterfall 104f” courtesy of Kim Keever & Kinz + Tillou Fine Art. The award was given by Susan Sarandon.
Jury Comments: “Stitches is a well written, powerfully acted film that exposes the rawness of two life partners who have decided to have a baby and now find themselves at the precipice of their relationship. The world around them still treats them like they don’t quite belong. Every confrontation, every expression feels like you’re touching an exposed nerve. Life, as you discover in this film, is not always neat.”
Special Jury Mention –Tati Barrantes and Andinh Ha, writers and directors of Adirake. The announcement was made by Susan Sarandon.
