danny collins

From Bleecker Street studio comes the first clip for DANNY COLLINS, starring Al Pacino, Annette Bening, Jennifer Garner and Christopher Plummer.

Plummer and Pacino together – this scene alone makes me want to see the film.

Al Pacino stars as aging 1970s rocker Danny Collins, who can’t give up his hard-living ways. But when his manager (Christopher Plummer) uncovers a 40 year-old undelivered letter written to him by John Lennon, he decides to change course and embarks on a heartfelt journey to rediscover his family, find true love and begin a second act.

From director Dan Fogelman, the movie features songs by John Lennon.

Go behind-the-scenes of DANNY COLLINS in this featurette. The film opens in select theaters March 20th.

Bleecker Street is also releasing this fall TRUMBO, a film I can’t wait to see and one to watch when awards season comes around. The successful career of 1940s Hollywood screenwriter Dalton Trumbo (Bryan Cranston) comes to a crushing end when he and other Hollywood figures are blacklisted for their political beliefs. TRUMBO (directed by Jay Roach) tells Trumbo’s story and his fight against gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Helen Mirren) in a war over words and freedom, which entangled everyone in Hollywood from John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger.

First Look At The Trailer For THE HUMBLING Starring Al Pacino

the humbling

Based on Phillip Roth’s final novel, Al Pacino stars in the trailer for director Barry Levinson new film, THE HUMBLING.

Having screened at The Toronto International Film Festival and Venice Film Festival, the movie tells the story of over-the-hill stage actor Simon Axler (Pacino) and his struggle to find his passion for life again.

Jo-Ann Titmarsh (HeyUGuys.com) says in her Venice review: “Levinson has made an intelligent, incredibly funny and most human film.”

Near his breaking point, Axler finds motivation in the form of a young and lustful lesbian Pegeen Stapleford (Greta Gerwig), but as their relationship heats up Simon has a hard time keeping up with the youthful Pegeen.

Also starring Greta Gerwig, Kyra Sedgwick, Dianne Wiest, Dylan Baker, Charles Grodin and Nina Arianda, Millennium Entertainment will release THE HUMBLING in theaters and On Demand/iTunes January 23, 2014.

New Trailer And Poster For THE DOG – The True Story Behind Dog Day Afternoon

THEDOG_OneSheet_Final

Lover. Husband. Soldier. Activist. Mama’s Boy. Bank Robber.

Drafthouse Films has released the new trailer for THE DOG – an intimate portrait of the vivacious John Wojtowicz, the inspiration behind Al Pacino’s character in Sidney Lumet’s Oscar-Nominated DOG DAY AFTERNOON.

Coming of age in the 1960s, John Wojtowicz took pride in being a pervert. His libido was excessive even by the libertine standards of the era, with multiple wives and lovers, both women and men.

In August, 1972, he attempted to rob a Brooklyn bank to finance his lover’s sex reassignment surgery. The attempted heist resulted in a fourteen-hour hostage situation that was broadcast on TV. Three years later, Pacino portrayed his character instigating the unforgettable crime on the big screen. The award-winning film had a profound influence on Wojtowicz, and when he emerged from prison six years later, he became known as “The Dog.”

Filmed over the course of a ten-year period by co-directors Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren, and interweaving extraordinary archival footage on the robbery, 70s era interviews and the early gay liberation movement in which “The Dog” played an active role, the documentary captures the many sides of John Wojtowicz’s larger- than-life persona.

THE DOG opens in theaters August 8th and On Demand August 15th.

The Tivoli Makes You a Midnight Offer You Can’t Refuse – THE GODFATHER

GODFATHER-HEADER

“It’s a Sicilian message. It means Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes.“

GdfthrColl_Still_H3_L

THE GODFATHER screens this Friday and Saturday nights (June 27th and 28th) at midnight at the Tivoli Theater as part of their ‘Reel Late at the Tivoli’  Midnight series.

Godfather_Luca_Brasi_by_donvito62

Everyone has their favorite THE GODFATHER characters, favorite moments, favorite lines. There are so very many good reasons why THE GODFATHER will always be remembered so fondly. No matter how many times you see it the film never fails to make an impact. Even if you’ve seen it so often you essentially have it memorized line for line and shot for shot, it remains a thrilling experience. From the famous opening scene with Marlon Brando’s Don Vito Corleone receiving requests for favors on the occasion of his daughter’s wedding all the way to the end and the final settling of all family business the film never lets up. It’s an undeniably powerful story and one which retains the capacity to surprise. Initially it seems obvious that the story is about Don Vito Corleone. He is the Godfather after all, but for as powerful a presence as Brando is, as the story plays itself out there comes the moment where you realize this is the story of Don Vito’s son Michael, as played so well by Al Pacino. When Michael comes into his own, the film, gripping from the start, becomes even more compelling. Has any character in any film evolved more than Michael Corleone does here? The Michael we meet at his sister’s wedding bears no resemblance to the man we see in the end.

godfather
Brando and Pacino are the headliners but they are wonderfully supported by an amazing cast which includes the likes of James Caan, Robert Duvall, and Diane Keaton – and who can forget Al Lettieri (who battled Bronson in MR MAJESTYK and McQueen in THE GETAWAY before his 1975 death at age 47) as Sollozzo? And that’s just scratching the surface. The world of THE GODFATHER is quite unlike any other, often imitated but never duplicated. It’s a triumph in every sense for director Francis Ford Coppola, but perhaps his biggest success is in making you sympathize with the Corleones. We know right from the start that Don Vito Corleone is a man capable of doing monstrous things, but we identify with him anyway. And one cannot help but feel for Michael as he is inexorably pulled into the family business.

Now you can get pulled into the family business on the big screen when THE GODFATHER plays this Friday and Saturday nights as part of The Tivoli’s Reel Late at The Tivoli midnight series.

First Look Photo of Al Pacino in David Gordon Green’s MANGLEHORN, Co-Starring Holly Hunter

Manglehorn2

Here’s a first look at Al Pacino in David Gordon Green’s MANGLEHORN, which also stars Holly Hunter, Chris Messina and Harmony Korine.

AJ Manglehorn (Pacino) is an aging, ordinary guy in a small town. He nurses his sick cat, squeezes out a conversation with the local bank teller every Friday, and eats at the same place every day. But there is more to Manglehorn than meets the eye: he’s an ex-con who, 40 years ago, gave up the woman of his dreams for a big “job.” He now obsesses daily over the choices he made. After a dramatic effort to start over, Manglehorn faces a terrifying moment and is unmasked as a guy with a very, very dark past.

WestEnd Films is handling international sales at the European Film Market in Berlin starting this week. Producers are Lisa Muskat, David Gordon Green and Derrick Tseng alongside Worldview CEO, Christopher Woodrow, and COO, Molly Conners. Worldview and Dreambridge Films also serve as executive producers.

Al Pacino Receives The Jaeger-Le Coultre Glory To The Filmmaker 2011 Award At Venice International Film Festival

Legendary American actor and director Al Pacino is the recipient of the Jaeger-Le Coultre Glory to the Filmmaker 2011 Award, a prize of the Venice International Film Festival (organized by the Biennale di Venezia), created in collaboration with Jaeger-Le Coultre, and dedicated to an artist who has left an original mark on contemporary cinema. The prize has previously been awarded to some of the greatest figures in film including: Takeshi Kitano (2007), Abbas Kiarostami (2008), Agnès Varda (2008), Sylvester Stallone (2009) and Mani Ratnam (2010).

This year, the award celebrates Al Pacino and his achievements as a filmmaker. The awards ceremony took place on Sunday September 4th during the 68th Venice International Film Festival (August 31st – September 10th 2011) directed by Marco Mueller and organized by the Biennale di Venezia chaired by Paolo Baratta. Festival Director, Marco Mueller, describes Pacino as, “An amazing director, whose experience is precious and original, and enriches the world of contemporary film.” The award ceremony preceded the world premiere of Pacino’s third feature-length directorial picture, WILDE SALOME. Referred to as his “most personal project ever,” the unconventional feature documentary invites audiences into Pacino’s private world, as he explores the complexities of Oscar Wilde’s acclaimed play Salome, Wilde himself and the birth of a rising star, in actress Jessica Chastain.

“There is nowhere else I would rather debut Wilde Salome than at Venice, because of its rich artistic history. Wilde Salome is an exploration into the world of Oscar Wilde the artist and in Salome, the emancipation of a work that lives on” said Pacino.

WILDE SALOME will be released this fall and stars Al Pacino (Herod), Jessica Chastain (Salomé), and Kevin Anderson (John the Baptist), and is produced by Barry Navidi and Robert Fox, with Salome Productions.

The director of the festival Marco Mueller invited Jessica Chastain on stage to present the prize to Al Pacino. It was with deep emotion that the actress (a talent discovered by Al Pacino) expressed how honored she was to give the prize to Al Pacino and underlined Jaeger-LeCoultre’s involvement in the world of cinema: “I am proud to present this award to Mr. Pacino on behalf of Jaeger-LeCoultre. Jaeger-LeCoultre’s commitment to film is sincere, longstanding and ever increasing with their support of not only the Venice Film Festival but Shanghai as well, working to help recognize both upcoming and confirmed actors, directors and producers. They are delighted to honor Mr Pacino’s outstanding contribution to the world of film and to help him celebrate Wild Salome by presenting him with an engraved watch, symbolizing the time dedicated to making art.”

Al Pacino has become a lasting and iconic figure in the world of American cinema. Pacino started on the stage in the mid-1960s and his heart still remains there today. In 1969 he broke through on screen with the film, Me, Natalie. With the role of Michael Corleone in Francis Ford Coppola’s Award winning The Godfather, Pacino launched a career that has cemented him not only as an acting legend but as a cultural icon, with roles in such films as Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon and Scarface. Pacino has never lost his dedication to the theatre, most recently receiving a Tony Award Nomination for the critically acclaimed Broadway production of The Merchant of Venice. In Looking for Richard he examined Shakespeare’s cultural relevance with Richard III and won the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary. He has provided audiences with indelible performances in films such as Glengarry Glen Ross, Carlito’s Way, Heat, The Devil’s Advocate, The Insider and Scent of a Woman, for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1992, after receiving seven previous nominations. He has won the AFI Lifetime Achievement Award and is currently the co-President of The Actors Studio in New York. Pacino’s commitment to acting and directing as a profession has established him as one of cinema’s true legends.

WILDE SALOME offers an unprecedented behind the scenes look at Pacino’s odyssey: a master class of insight into this cultural icon. Pacino’s raw exploration of Salome is one of obsession, determination, commitment and above all, passion. WILDE SALOME is unlike any other documentary, a profound vision of religion, literature, politics, violence and sexuality from one of the greatest artists of our time.
