REVIEW: Wim Wenders' 3-D Pina Makes A Unique Pleased Dance

Since everyone is ongoing to develop frustrated with providing the allegedly thrilling commitment of three-D, we may involve some chance of identifying just what its future might be. When I still think 3-D is almost under useless, I’ve showed up at think that its real promise lies not in large-budget filmmaking such as the Adventures of Tintin or possibly an image as wonderful as Hugo, but within reach of company company directors concentrating on an even more modest scale who simply possess a good idea together with a spark of enthusiasm for your medium. Wim Wenders features that spark with a rather unlikely subject, the late German modern-dance choreographer Pina Bausch. For any very long time, Wenders and Bausch, longtime pals, happen to be concentrating on a movie together. Bausch died out of the blue this past year, at 68, and Pina is Wenders’ tribute to her, less a strict documentary when compared to a sincere — and visually gorgeous — celebration of Bausch’s work and her mode of working. What’s amazing about Pina happens when democratic it's, how casual it comes down to opening the area of contemporary dance to people who know, or even care, little relating to this. I’d always avoided Bausch, supposing it absolutely was all bony ballroom ballroom dancers in drab skintone leotards, totally acting the angst of mankind, or whatever. Now i observe wrong I used to be. Numerous Bausch’s ideas may not result in anybody’s idea of conventional (whatever that's) beauty: She might scatter the floor with muck, which might mingle while using sweat sticking for the ballroom ballroom dancers’ dresses, resulting in moist, mother-earth stains. A brawny guy in the tutu, being pressed along progressively around the railway handcar, appears being moving some pretty heavy-duty German sorrow and guilt on his shoulders. But Wenders helps it be all appear accessible, framework and connecting up images — sometimes rather bizarre ones — with techniques that pulls us closer rather than problem us, without ever conditioning the intended effect. Pina mixes performance footage with interviews Wenders completed with Bausch’s longtime ballroom ballroom dancers. The form Wenders chooses for your latter takes a bit of becoming familiar with: The ballroom ballroom dancers face the digital camera, mute and unmoving, while their words float in voice-over. Nevertheless the approach works. It’s as if the ballroom ballroom dancers’ unspoken, private ideas are becoming away to the world outdoors (like the means by which people same ideas might be expressed through dance). One dancer talks of her shyness when she first grew to become part of the business. “You need to get crazier!” Bausch mentioned to her, and from that which you can inform, she did. Another talks simply of missing Bausch, not just just like a choreographer and guide but just like a presence. “Pina, I still haven’t imagined about yourself,” she states plainly. “Please visit me throughout my dreams.” The performance footage in Pina includes portions of stage performances of works like Caf Mller (in which the ballroom ballroom dancers stroll, drift and slide across the chairs and tables from the plain, small cafe, alone, together and alone-together) and, intriguingly, several dances staged outdoors, across the environs of Bausch’s home base of Wuppertal (one dance happens around the traffic island during the time of the intersection, another around the city tram). The 2nd appear jarring and out-of-place only until it might be obvious they’re an easy method of rooting Bausch and her be employed in a specific geographic location, additionally to an approach to recognizing the dance might make itself in your house anywhere. I’ve always loved talking with ballroom ballroom dancers or reading through through dance experts about producing a dance, the word “making” reinforcing the notion that a bit of dance can be as much a crafted factor as, say, a painting, a sculpture, a birdhouse. But dance is ephemeral, a little of art that emerges within the discipline of movement as well as the emotion in the ballroom ballroom dancers, possibly because order. Even when it’s adopted film, the means by which Wenders does here, still seems fleeting and precious. Wenders means they are dances appear both spectacular and intimate. He films a dancer in the printed chiffon dress pirouetting en pointe against somewhat a drab industrial backdrop. I enjoy there’s uncooked veal squidging from her slip-ons? Wenders hardly pretends that is business of course. Rather, he coaxes us into understanding, or otherwise reckoning, while using jarring but wholly compelling image before us. It’s as if he were saying, “I realize this lady has stuffed raw meat in their feet shoes, but trust me, opt for this.” So when you’re prone to film anything in 3-D, why not ballroom ballroom dancers? Wenders revels inside the curves and angles of individuals glorious physiques, many of which are brazenly muscular from time to time and fleshy on other occasions. (Bausch used ballroom ballroom dancers of all ages.) There’s huge sophistication and wonder here, but there’s also evidence of how ballroom ballroom dancers place their physiques to use: Jutting shoulderblades, veins a-poppin’, claw toes coming right at ya! Wenders’ camera shows everything. He's developed a movie the means by which choreographers and ballroom ballroom dancers produce a dance: With muscle with heart.

Watercooler: Did the VH1 Divas Touch Your Soul?

VH1 Divas We love musical divas. Love 'em. Can't get enough of them. They sing it but more importantly, they feel it. And for the most part, we felt the VH1 Divas Celebrate Soul special just as deeply. Last night, the concert franchise that has been silent for too long returned with a femme-filled spectacle that was as big as some of the voices on the bill. Kelly Clarkson, Jill Scott, Jennifer Hudson, Mary J. Blige, hell, even ethereal Brit chanteuse Florence Welch (who killed on Annie Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass") dug deep for the show and gave us some great moments. The opening from Blige, Hudson and Clarkson was epic, and the Chaka Khan-Blige team-up for a Chicago soul tribute clearly had the audience in a tizzy. Other segments? Not so much. The Philly soul montage was a bit wobbly, Erykah Badu freaked us out with her weirdness, and the Amy Winehouse tribute was, well, let's just say no, no, no to that one. However, our biggest letdown was the lack of a grand finale. Of course, it probably would have been a cacophony of women in really tight dresses trying to out-wail one another, but when is the next time we'd have the chance to see all of these powerhouses on stage at the same time? The amount of soul they could have fired up would have been off the charts. Did you check out the VH1 Divas last night? Or did you miss their soul train? Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

TWC puts ball back in MSG's court

As the heated battle over NY sports teams careens toward a Dec. 31 deadline, Time Warner Cable late Sunday fired back at MSG, promising not to yank its channels off the air through the NHL and NBA seasons. "That ball in MSG's court," said Mike Angus, TWC's senior VP for content acquisitions. In a statement, he said the cabler is sticking to its original offer to continue carrying channels MSG/MSG+ through the end of the 2011-2012 NBA and NHL seasons for a 6.5% increase in fees. MSG, he reiterated, wants a 53% hike plus carriage of music channel Fuse "at a cost of millions of dollars." He's responding to a statement Friday by Michael Blair, the president of MSG Media, who said, "Unfortunately, Time Warner Cable is not interested in reaching a fair agreement, and, in fact, is not interested in conducting productive negotiations on behalf of its customers." Blair encouraged TWC subs to switch providers "before Time Warner Cable pulls MSG's networks off its systems." MSG has said that the acquisition by the Knicks of Carmelo Anthony, a rise in Knicks ratings and Time Warner Cable's deal with the Lakers inked early this year had changed the sports rights landscape.

For 'Hugo,' depth adds to character

'Hugo' was d.p. Robert Richardsons first attempt at 3D.Richardson Hugo Cabret, the title character in Martin Scorsese's much-discussed first venture into family films, lives in a world of deep isolation, a lonely orphan seemingly trapped in a life within the walls of a Paris railway station circa the 1930s. Left by a drunken uncle to spend his days maintaining the station's countless clocks, with their giant geared mechanisms, while scrounging for food and parts for an automaton he hopes to bring back to life, Hugo is indeed alone. Deeply alone.The keyword here is deep -- and it is that depth that Scorsese and director of photography Robert Richardson strove to capture in their first stab at 3D. "In truth, we just tried to tell a tale," the cinematographer tells Variety.While the film takes viewers through the huge station, both in public areas filled with passengers and through the mazes of secret passageways, the filmmakers were careful not to overplay their hand. "We tried very hard not to make this an exhausting experience," Richardson says -- something viewers often experience during seemingly endless 3D action sequences in stereoscopic films.Instead of falling into the usual trappings of 3D filmmaking, the filmmakers stayed with the director's trademark character-driven approach. "Hugo's sense of isolation is always there -- he's constantly peering from inside the train station to the outside," the d.p. says. "Almost all of the shots are captured by looking through something."The main thing for us was to avoid having distracting elements," says Richardson. "Marty wanted to use 3D more as a tool to tell the story, not fill it with 'House of Wax' ping-pong ball moments."Not to say Scorsese wanted to avoid them altogether. "He was careful to select them -- the way an orchestra's conductor would take a moment where the drums would come in. We were trying to use 3D to immerse people in this environment, not just to have gimmicks."Richardson wanted to place the audience inside Hugo's world, in the way the character experiences it.One such example, he says, is the introduction of Christopher Lee's character, a bookseller named Labisse. Seen as a low-angle "three-shot" as the children meet him, the view looks up toward Lee, with his cat on the left and walls of books beyond and around him. "I remember it was one of the first shots I had done that I stopped when I looked at it on a big screen. I was feeling something I had never felt anywhere in a 2D movie. The room itself became a character. I was immersed in the room, and the entire room took over. I could feel that it had depth."There are, of course, established sets of rules for shooting with complex 3D camera equipment. "It took time to figure out what worked and what didn't, until we began to feel comfortable moving the camera," Richardson says. "Overall, I think we got quite good at it."Ultimately. the movie pays tribute to the work of the earliest of filmmakers, including George Melies and the Lumiere brothers, who themselves had experimented with 3D cinematography."For Marty to have taken 3D as a choice to tell this tale, and put it atop those pioneers, I think was all the wiser," Richardson says. "Because they certainly would have utilized these tools."EYE ON THE OSCARS: THE CINEMATOGRAPHERLensers aren't afraid of the dark | For 'Hugo,' depth adds to character | Period pics invite wide spectrum of styles | Projecting turmoil Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

J. Browne. The policy of Occupy Wall Street has transformed drastically within the last couple of days prior to the attack, tales around the park incorporated coverage of internecine squabbling and alleged criminal activity one of the protesters, in addition to a comedy seg on "The Daily Show" concerning the class division between destitute people and moneyed liberals.

FCC Moves To Block AT&T Acquisition Of T-Mobile

The merger of the wireless companies was already on the ropes after the Justice Department said it would challenge the deal in court. Now FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski is circulating a draft order that would add an important additional barrier to the deal: It would ask an administrative law judge to consider whether the combo would serve the public interest — after the end of the Justice trial, due to begin in February.That would significantlydelay and complicate the AT&T and T-Mobile’s merger plans. The last time the FCC did this — in 2002 when Echostar wanted to merge with DirecTV — the companies scrapped their plan. Genachowski’s proposal followsa conclusion by FCC staff thatconsumers would be harmed if AT&T and T-Mobile merge. The agency found that it would result in less competition in 99 of the 100 biggest markets (the exception is Omaha). Staffers also concluded that the deal would not improve deployment of 4G services, and would result in substantial job losses from AT&T’s efforts to cut costs. If the FCC decides not to approve a merger like this, then it has to send the case to an administrative law judge for a court-like hearing that would look at whether the deal would serve the public interest. The judge’s conclusion would then go back to the full FCC for a vote.

She's been nominated three occasions in the last four years: "The Tourist," "Changeling" and "A Mighty Heart." Strangely enough, she's won three occasions and a pair of were for TV projects: "George Wallace" and "Gia."

'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' Star Kellan Lutz Denied Doughnut Delivery to Fans by Premiere Venue

While activists across the globe sit in and camp out for the Occupy movement, there remains another, possibly more devoted group going unbathed: the Twilight fans.our editor recommends'Twilight's' Kellan Lutz Says 'Breaking Dawn' Director Brought Gay Sensibility to FilmComic-Con 2011: Kellan Lutz, Henry Cavill, Tarsem Singh Stump for 'Immortals'The Twilight Saga: Breaking DawnPart 1: Film Review'Twilight: Breaking Dawn' Red Carpet Premiere Live Stream Twilight's 'Breaking Dawn - Part One' Premiere Buildup Hits New Heights Twilight "Tent City" (current population: 1,400) went up in downtown Los Angeles last week in anticipation of Monday's premiere screening and red carpet for the saga's penultimate installment, Breaking Dawn - Part One. Many residents have slept on the ground for four nights just to catch a glimpse of the franchise stars, and on Friday one of them made an early appearance. PHOTOS: New Images of 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in the series and currently stars as Poseidon in Immortals, stopped by late in the evening with 40 dozen glazed Krispy Kreme doughnuts for his devoted fans. He started making his way through the three massive tents, nestled between the Nokia Theater and the Staples Center, passing out the baked goods with staffers from Summit Entertainment, when he was cut short. A rep for Lutz tells The Hollywood Reporter that the 26-year-old was halted by representative from LA Live said he couldn't pass out food, as it was in violation of code. VIDEO: Kellan Lutz Says 'Twilight' Film 'Wasn't a Well-Oiled Machine,' 'Immortals' Was 'Much More Enjoyable' There was apparently no elaboration on why Lutz couldn't pass out the doughnuts, and LA Live parent company AEG did not immediately return THR's request for comment, but Subway sandwiches were handed out in a similar fashion earlier that day to no consequence. So while the remaining doughnuts were packed away, Lutz continued to make his way through the crowd, clocking an hour and a half of face-time to pose for photos and sign autographs. PHOTOS: The Evolution of Film Vampires Tent City has become an unlikely hub for distractions over the past five days, with Summit hosting screenings of previous films, a concert series from soundtrack artists and an appearance from Twilight scribe Stephenie Meyer all feeding into the fan frenzy.

The Secret Circle Scoop: There Are Two of Them?! What's Next?

Secret Circle [Warning: This story contains spoilers from the midseason finale of The Secret Circle.] The Secret Circle's midseason finale dropped one heck of a bomb: Cassie (Britt Robertson) is not the only kin of John Blackwell within the coven. While the obvious answer points to Faye (Phoebe Tonkin) also being the offspring of the mysterious Blackwell - since we learned her mother Dawn (Natasha Henstridge) had an obsession with him - executive producer Andrew Miller says we'll have to wait awhile to find out which coven member is Cassie's half-sister ... or brother! 7 quick spoilers from The Secret Circle's midseason finale "Jake knows the existence of such a child, but the emergence of the second Blackwell offspring will be revealed in due course," Miller says, noting that there's a good chance Chris Zylka will be back on the show to provide that information. Having a second child of Blackwell within the circle is a far cry from the original L.J. Smith novels the series is based on. Couple that with the series killing off coven member Nick (Louis Hunter) so quickly, it seems the producers are trying to distance themselves from the books, but Miller says that's not the case. "In a weird way, in the next chunk [of episodes] we're almost embracing the books more. We can't follow the books as a road map because it's so different. On the horizon, the books have amazing relationships and dynamics that we're going to reach for." Miller notes that one of the upcoming major similarities will come in the secret of the kids' pasts. "There's history there about [the] kids being born in the same year that we'll start to explore," he says. "That's one answer we'll find that's similar to the books." The Secret Circle's Britt Robertson dishes on the mystery of John Blackwell The mystery of who John Blackwell is will begin to unfold as well. "[Blackwell]'s a complicated figure, but we'll get into a little more of his background and exactly what happened to him as we continue," Miller says, noting that they'd love for The Secret Circle's enigma to have a big impact like Klaus (Joseph Morgan) does on The Vampire Diaries. "They're similar in that if John Blackwell existed in our world ... he would be someone that has a long plan and has had a long plan, not dissimilar to Klaus. Certainly the impact that Klaus has, which is so fun to watch, were someone to come along to our show like that, it would be fun to have that." Pointing to the obvious answer that Faye is the coven member related to Blackwell, Miller notes that she will begin to explore ways to obtain her own magic. "Faye has wanted her own individual magic from the get-go," he says. "The idea that Cassie is the one who has this opportunity is infuriating. ... It will drive her more to seek out alternative ways to separate herself from the group and find power on her own, which will probably have terrible consequences on other people." Can The Secret Circle's new bad boy go good? As for what happened 16 years ago, which claimed the lives of many of the coven's parents, and apparently John Blackwell, too, Miller says they're considering using flashbacks as a device to tell that story. "We do need to delve into this backstory and we are exploring ways to experience that past in what I think are really exciting and interesting ways in the very near future. Pretty soon on the heels of the new year, we'll start to see more of the past than we've seen thus far." The Secret Circle returns with fresh episodes on Thursday, Jan. 5 at 9/8c on The CW.

Film classics reborn

The restored 'Les Enfants du paradis' screened at the Lumiere fest in advance of a December run in France. LONDON -- The restoration of classic films is both a labor of love and a commercial enterprise.Ellen Schafer, who is in charge of the film library at SNC, part of Gallic media conglom M6, points out that one byproduct of the digitization of the film biz is that many old masters are getting a makeover and enjoying a new lease on life commercially.During the Lumiere Film Festival in Lyon, France, which ran Oct. 3-9, fest head Thierry Fremaux paid tribute to the work of the Jerome Seydoux-Pathe Foundation, which had just restored Marcel Carne's "Les Enfants du paradis," which was screened at the fest. The foundation also is working on Jean-Pierre Melville's "Le Samourai," Roman Polanski's "Tess" and Raymond Bernard's "Les Miserables."The restored version of "Les Enfants," carried out by the Eclair and L'Immagine Ritrovata laboratories on a budget of 300,000 ($410,000), will be released theatrically by Pathe in France in December, and will get theatrical dates in other territories. Reissues on DVD, Blu-ray and VOD will follow. Although distribs are unlikely to get rich quick through the restoration and re-release of classic films, it is possible to at least cover the cost of restoration. Jane Giles, the British Film Institute's head of content, oversaw the release in Blighty of "The Great White Silence" earlier this year. The nonfiction silent film from 1924, which documents Captain Scott's doomed expedition to the South Pole, cost around $126,000 to restore, including the cost of a new score by Simon Fisher Turner. The theatrical release netted $95,000 from 40 screens, and sold 4,000 units of the dual format edition (DVD and Blu-ray), which retails for $32. The film was also sold to the Discovery Channel, although Giles declined to reveal the price. The pic has also been picked up in Germany, and the BFI is in negotiations with distribs for Australian and New Zealand rights.The cost of restoring a Technicolor pic, typical of the work undertaken by Martin Scorsese's Film Foundation on "The Red Shoes," is more expensive. Efforts such as this can cost just south of $1 million.Scorsese and his Film Foundation are one of the most high-profile orgs devoted to this work. Clearly, restoration work can be profitable, though in the conglomerate age that focuses on quarterly bottom lines, it's an uphill struggle to get executives to realize the importance of the work -- not only paydays, but the opportunity to expose new audiences to classics. (Variety on Aug. 2-8, 2010, themed the entire issue to the advantages and challenges in this field.) In order to put the pics on video-on-demand platforms, film companies first have to create a digital master, and since many old 35mm prints are in a poor condition, the films have to be restored first.But the market for classic films is limited. Schafer says only half of SNC's library of around 1,200 films are exploited commercially. A small number, like Jean Cocteau's "La Belle et la bete," are evergreens, and sell worldwide, while others only sell in certain markets, like the "Gendarme" comedy franchise, which has little market value in English-language territories, but is popular across continental Europe.Still, specialized markets are popping up in the U.S. and Germany, says Schaefer, giving lesser-known titles that are now available on an HD master new life. Many restored classics have long legs at the box office in re-release.Last year, Rialto took $357,000 from the 50th anni reissue of Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" after it played for more than seven months at U.S. theaters, while Kino Intl. nabbed $529,000 from a re-release of Fritz Lang's "Metropolis," whose new print including lost footage, over a similar period. Pathe says the restoration of Luchino Visconti's "The Leopard" was conceived as a project in its own right, starting with its screening in the Cannes Classic section in 2010, followed by a re-release in French theaters and finally its release on DVD and VOD. Sales on DVD were excellent, with some 50,000 units sold.The typical classic film customer tends to be older than the average filmgoer, and has a better knowledge of cinema and its history, says Steve Lewis, head of home entertainment at U.K. distrib Artificial Eye, which has a sizable collection of classic titles. The company is just about to re-release Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy on Blu-ray, which has been among the company's best-sellers, alongside the works of Andrei Tarkovsky and Robert Bresson. Like their counterparts in the fanboy world, classic movie fans will spend the money for a complete collection of their favorite auteurs, so restored prints drive sales -- which means VOD sales are slower. During the Lumiere festival, Europa Distribution, a body that reps indie distribs in Europe, held its annual confab, where delegates agreed that the market for classic films was small, and the customers were aging.Tilman Scheel, managing director of Reelport, which runs Europe's Finest, a service that supplies digital prints of classic European films to theaters, said both these facts will remain true unless the study of film and its history is added to school curriculums, and the audience is taught to appreciate cinema in the same way it does other art forms."Tell people that it's an old film, and they won't go to the cinema; tell them it's an exhibition of old paintings, and they go to the museum. Everybody knows who Leonardo Da Vinci is, but I'm not so sure they know who the Lumiere brothers are," he says. -- Boyd van Hoeij in Paris contributed to this report.

Why Is MPTFs Ousted Dr. David Tillman Returning Through The Back Door?

MPTFs Acute Care Deal With Providence Health & Services Falls Through EXCLUSIVE: More bad news at the Motion Picture And Television Fund. Family members are furious that the man they blame for playing the central role in trying to close the Wasserman Campus healthcare facilities for acute care, Dr. David Tillman, is coming back through the back door. Tillman was ousted as President and CEO of the MPTF’s Motion Picture Hospital in February 2010. But now he has been hired by the Partners In Care Foundation as their First Chief Medical Officer. And just who is Chairman of the Board of Partners In Care? Why Seth Ellis, the MPTF’s VP and COO who was Tillman’s longtime second in command. It’s a textbook case of cronyism: Tillman and Ellis arrived together at theMPTF in 2000, and both made bitter enemies of family members who fought the MPTF’s attempt to close the acute care hospital and nursing facilities.At one pointMSNBC’s Keith Olbermann named Tillman the”World’s Worst” person because of the impending closures. It’s widely felt that when the MPTF Board subcommittee exited Tillman, it was a first step to try to bring the MPTF back together with the Hollywood community, and especially family members who’ve been most vocal on this acute care issue. Now this is viewed as a giant step backwards, especially because it spotlights the controversial dual role which Ellis plays by having big jobs with both Partners in Care and the MPTF. Richard Stellar, an outspoken activist for the motion picture industry’s elder rights and the son of a former resident of the Motion Picture Home, tells me this about Tillman’s return: “In my opinion this is a blatant conflict of interest that once again interfaces Dr. Tillman with MPTF senior management. Has he ever really gone away, or were we just led to believe that he had?” In the Partners In Care press release announcing Tillman’s hire, Seth Ellis, the COO of the Motion Picture Home, heaps praise on Tillman. That’s like adding fuel to the fire that erupted over Tillman’s MPTF tenure which has taken more than a year to begin to extinguish: Having Dr. Tillman join us at this point in our evolution, signals the dynamic growth and expansion opportunities Partners is experiencing. Partners is poised to bring even greater expertise to the field, broaden our impact, and shape the future of health care. Both Tillman and Ellis were the architects of the attempt to dismantle long term acute healthcare at the MPTF campus. According to savingthelivesofourown.org, “Tillman’s goal, working quietly under the surface with Seth Ellis, for nearly a decade, was to close the Wasserman Campus healthcare facilities, making home based community care the focus of MPTF healthcare services. Tillman who earned $600,000 a yearat the MPTFwas pushed to exit because of the public relations nightmare that ensued over the attempt to shutter the acute care hospital and long-term elderly care facilities. In his new job, Tillman is to provide oversight for patients transitioning from hospitals to community care services. Immediately, it calls into question whether Ellis will have Tillman and Partners In Carehelp MPTF transition out its acute care facilities. Now the question is whether the bigwig Hollywood members of the MPTF Board knew about and approved of Ellis’ hiring of Tillman.

Sue Mengers dies

Mengers in 1985Sue Mengers, among Hollywood's best agents inside the seventies, who represented the type of Sidney Lumet, Peter Bogdanovich, John P Palma and Mike Nichols additionally to Michael Caine, Cher, Steve McQueen, Faye Dunaway, Gene Hackman and Barbra Streisand, died Saturday evening in Beverly Slopes.

And not simply with celebrity careers: Apart from stars, Mengers was settling while using careers as well as the lives of company company directors like Lumet and Nichols and John P Palma, talents who know what they desire -- and are employed to configuring it.Inch Mengers' friend and longtime connect, ICM agent Boaty Boatwright, mentioned, "Her title increased being synonymous with as well as what she aided most of us to accomplish, but her legend is often the vitality that they were living existence, and her wit, that is celebrated in tales throughout our community for any very long time.Inch In the 1973 profile, Time magazine mentioned, "Just like a v . p . of mighty Creative Management Affiliate marketers, Sue Mengers is, inside the rueful words of just one of her ex-clients, 'more effective in comparison to stars she handles.'?" Her parties were considered key networking options, which after she outdated, her home will be a center in the Hollywood social scene. She presented the town's top talent ("single title stars" like "Warren, Jack, Barbra, Elton, Ali, Anjelica, Bette, Sting and Trudy, along with pals with last names like Geffen, Diller, Poitier, Lansing, Friedkin, Semel, Lourd and Zanuck"), as Graydon Carter appreciated in the remembrance on Vanityfair.com. Mengers was produced in Hamburg to oldsters who'd later flee Germany since the Holocaust got started. She was 8 when the family turned up inside the U.S., and her father committed suicide a few years later. She began in showbiz just like a secretary at MCA in 1955, then labored in the similar job within the William Morris Agency, where she ongoing to become until a classic co-worker, Tom Korman, hired her just like a talent agent when he started their very own agency. Her first success was landing Broadway star Julie Harris. "I used to be somewhat pisher, somewhat nothing making $135 each week just like a secretary for your William Morris Agency in NY," Mengers told Mike Wallace in 1975. "Well, I looked around which i respected the Morris office in addition to their professionals, which i figured, Gee, the items they are doing is not so difficult, you understand.

And That I did formerly stay late at work, similar to 'All About Eve,' which i out of the blue thought, 'That beats typing.'?" Since the repetition for Anthony Perkins, she guaranteed him employment in Rene Clement's film "Is Paris Burning?" (1966). Her next factor up came when she was hired by Freddie Fields' agency Creative Management Affiliate marketers. The organization, which repped Paul Newman, Robert Redford and McQueen, was bought by Marvin Josephson's Worldwide Famous Agency to create Worldwide Creative Management in 1974. She left ICM in 1986 and returned briefly as leader of William Morris couple of years later before permanently retiring Recognized for a obvious, crisp tongue together with a penchant for poaching off their agencies, Mengers nevertheless recognized to being starstruck herself in the 2009 interview with Vanity Fair. "Stars are rare creatures, and not everyone might be one," she mentioned. "But there's not anybody in the world -- not you, not me, not the woman nearby -- who wouldn't want to be a celebrity supporting that gold statuette on Academy Award evening." Mengers would be a symbol within Hollywood, though not well-recognized to everybody: Dyan Cannon's character in Herbert Ross' 1973 film "All the Sheila," composed by Perkins and Stephen Sondheim, required it's origin from her. Mengers was married to Belgian author-director Jean-Pierre Tramont from 1973 until his dying in 1996. She leaves no children. Contact Variety Staff at news@variety.com

Keyser: expect more WGAW activism

Newly elected WGA West president Christopher Keyser has told its 8,000 members that the guild will become more vocal in the political arena, such as supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement."We need the ability to speak in a loud, clear voice," Keyser said in a message to members. "You can be sure that those who lobby against our interests in Washington are doing exactly that, with the most expensive megaphone the all-too-bendable rules permit. We will not be silent in response."Keyser came out in support of the Occupy Wall Street movement on Oct. 6. He said in the new message -- which arrived in member inboxes Thursday -- that the guild will continue to be vocal on issues that impact writers and will be reaching out directly to politicians via its political action committee."We believe that writers' voices belong in the national conversation about issues related to our business and to the plight of labor in general," he said. "It is impossible to over-estimate the effect that decisions on issues ranging from net neutrality to vertical integration to piracy have on our members' bottom line. We simply cannot leave those decisions to others, without our perspective being heard."Keyser also said the WGA West will be asking membership to contribute the PAC, adding, "It is an unfortunate truth about American politics that money is speech."The missive comes a month after Keyser won a two-year as president over Patric Verrone in a campaign that stressed pragmatism and minimizing internal divisiveness. Keyser said in the message to members that the WGA West board's most recent meeting produced a consensus on three main priorities over the next two years:-- the need for the WGA West to be more involved in the life of its members and to improve communication, including a "reassessment" of its communication strategy. Keyser also promised that the board is evaluating the effectiveness of contract enforcement "with particular attention to late pay."-- preparation for negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture & Television Producers on a successor deal to the current master contract, which expires in May, 2014. Keyser cited setting bargaining priorities as a result of "consistent communication" with the membership, the "perennial" goal of improved inter-guild relations, the continued pursuit of its organizing agenda, and a critical reassessment of its overall negotiating strategy in the "multi-guild/AMPTP" universe .-- New media, with the intent of creating opportunities for WGA members. "The change in the way content is delivered, and the entry into the business of new production entities beyond our traditional partners in the AMPTP, suggests a future that is full of both risk and of possibility," Keyser said. "Through research, education, and outreach, we are committed to pursuing, as a guild, a future in which the as-yet- undefined landscape of the new media world becomes ripe with opportunities for writers to create, produce and share an ownership stake in that content."The WGA West's reported writer earnings declined 2.9% last year to $928 million, thanks to a 9.9% plunge in feature film salaries. New media revenues -- the key issue of the 2007-08 strike -- were still miniscule at $1.4 million.Keyser disclosed in the missive that the WGA West is working toward release of the Screenwriters Survey/Report Card, which will provide members with a "detailed picture" of the working conditions of screenwriters, including issues of free rewrites, sweepstakes pitching, and late pay, as it varies from studio to studio.He also said that members should expect to hear from the guild "regularly" over the next year."These are difficult economic times in this country, particularly for the middle class," Keyser said. "We, as writers, have not been immune from that. We are, all of us, and at every level, finding careers more difficult to sustain. In such an environment, the Guild is more vital than ever - to fight the fights for stricter enforcement, better working conditions, and greater compensation."

Paranormal Activity 3 Viral VHS Tapes Pop Up at Fantastic Fest

Today at Fantastic Fest, Movieline got its hands on a VHS tape labeled “September 1988,” packaged in an unmarked manila envelope. Perhaps (probably) not coincidentally, the date corresponds to recently released footage from Paranormal Activity 3, the forthcoming found footage prequel about spooky goings-on in the lives of a family haunted by unseen forces. Could this have something to do with tomorrow’s hotly anticipated secret screening? The first secret screening of this year’s fest was Pedro Almodovar’s The Skin I Live In, and buzz around Fantastic Fest had Paranormal Activity 3 as a good guess for Secret Screening #2. The original Paranormal Activity, filmed for $15,000, first debuted on the festival circuit and played Fantastic Fest before turning into a box office phenomenon fueled by word of mouth and viral marketing. Its follow-up, 2010’s Paranormal Activity 2, also screened at the Austin festival and employed a local viral campaign consisting of footage mysteriously popping up around town on flash drives. Taking place in 1988, Paranormal Activity 3 is a prequel that explains what happened to sisters Katie and Kristi back when they were kids when they first caught the attention of the demonic spirit that would haunt their families in the first two films. (Watch three previously released preview clips of PA3 here for a taste.) I haven’t yet had a chance to hunt down a VHS player here in Austin to see what’s on the tape. (Anyone nearby have one? Hit me up at @jenyamato.) Is this the first piece of concrete evidence that Fantastic Fest is about to get spooked yet again? Paranormal Activity 3 is set to hit theaters on October 21, so a surprise debut at Fantastic Fest would mark its world premiere. If you PA fans didn’t yet have a ticket to the Secret Screening #2, which screens tomorrow at midnight, now might be the time to start hunting them down.

“For John Gotti Sr, you need a man’s man to play that role,” critiqued former mobster Lewis Kasman about John Travolta’s casting in the upcoming crime-boss biopic from Barry Levinson. “He’s a thug, so you need someone who’s a thug… a guy who grew up in that life.” Apparently, Travolta’s Oscar-nominated Saturday Night Fever performance doesn’t hold much weight among the mob set either: “John Gotti Sr. never danced a dance in his life.” [Daily Mail]

Fox Buys Bill Lawrence Father-Boy Comedy With Put Pilot Commitment

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Lawrence has offered another comedy project this season, landing another major commitment. I hear Fox has handed a put pilot persistence for an untitled single-camera comedy, which Lawrence will write, direct and executive produce. Inspired by Lawrence’s real-existence encounters, it focuses on a parent or gaurdian-boy relationship. This marks the initial pilot script Lawrence will write solo since Scrubs. On friday, he and Greg Malins got an plane pilot production commitment from CBS for just about any multi-camera workplace comedy they'll co-write together. Both projects hail from Warner Bros.

Toronto: Where Will Be The Film Deals?

Much like it did a year ago, the 2011 Toronto Film Festival is becoming on the sluggish begin the purchases front. I spoke with a lot of customers after last evening’s onslaught of acquisition title premieres, as well as the common feeling was these entrepreneurs need to fill slots inside their agendas and they wish to fall crazily for each other, but haven’t quite become there yet with several films. They'd some reservations on almost all the flicks they saw. These films will clearly find distribution houses, nevertheless the reaction suggests that deals will drag out because people entrepreneurs aren’t apt to be posting large minimum guarantees, the way they did in Cannes. The big obtain the festival up to now, the Steve McQueen-directed NC-17 sex drama Shame, wasn’t a massive commitment for that press hoopla that adopted Deadline’s demonstrate the film had agreed to Fox Searchlight. I am hearing the sale will be a mid-substantial minimum guarantee around $400,000, together with a P&Dedication around $1.5 million. That sounds about right, because the filmmakers were most concerned about entering this year’s Oscar race to make use of the performances by Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, and making sure that doesn't a frame in the picture was changed. Nevertheless it doesn’t appear as being a wide release picture. For that wide release game game titles, they'll sell, but it'll be a hardship on merchants to obtain the dollars they require. I saw among people game game titles that sit atop buyer lists last evening. Seafood Fishing inside the Yemen was scripted by Simon Beaufoy, directed by Lasse Hallstrom and stars Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt, Kristin Scott Thomas and Amr Waked, the 2nd playing a wealthy sheik who pays a fisheries investigator to stock a stream with trout. The film is sophisticated, funny, timely and absolutely charming, which i possibly could be amazed whether or not this isn’t clicked on up by Monday or sooner. That film got the most effective reaction within the customers I spoke with. The pace of auctioning remains complicated through the quantity of premieres last evening, including Rampart, Take This Waltz, The Oranges, the hockey comedy Goon as well as the Morgan Spurlock-directed documentary Comic-Disadvantage: A Follower’s Hope. Customers required to make options, and several were seeing films like Seafood today. I expect a flurry of deals toward the conclusion in the festival, that's the actual way it carried out out a year ago. Since there’s little happening up to now, you've time to notice things. Right here are a handful of a couple of a few things i’ve observed: * An unpredicted hot title remains the fighting styles film The RaidThat The brand new the new sony Pictures Worldwide Purchases Group smartly bought at Cannes based on some footage. Art galleries are really thinking about remake rights on that particular, conscious of The brand new the new sony has start searching. * I’ve loved everything Jonah Hill is doing since Superbad, but this individual is poised to experience a major career once Moneyball is released through the new the new sony Pictures. Playing the information-savvy geek partner to Kaira Pitt’s Concord A’s gm Billy Beane, Hill can be a thought and so they produce a terrific tandem in the picture that Bennett Burns directed while using heart you recognized in the script that has both Steve Zaillian and Aaron Sorkin talking about screen credit. Despite the fact that Hill initially shocked me along with his fat loss, he made an appearance being settling into his svelte frame quite nicely within the premiere and you also could not have knocked the smile off his face in the event you attempted. * You will discover handful of better places to check out a movie here than Roy Thomson Hall, the Toronto venue where the glitziest gala game game titles play. There is however a greater cost being paid out. You'll need to get it done early, and when you uncover your chair, you are uncovered for the most excruciating and torturous red-colored-colored carpet coverage, provided with the broadcast team from E Talk TV. These speaking heads have absolutely nothing interesting to convey for the stars they chat up for just about any feed that's broadcast only to everyone else inside the theater. It's noisy, and there is collective squirming after they request questions like that certain, lobbed to Philip Seymour Hoffman while he made his distance towards the Moneyball premiere: “You play Concord A’s manager Art Howe. When you apply to that uniform, would you put onto it, or does it placed on you?” Hoffman responded as though he’d consumed bad sea food. In the that at Cannes red-colored-colored carpet premieres, furthermore they reveal footage of coming stars. There is however no soundtrack and instead of being assaulted with noisy verbal nothingness, you simply watch the celebs arrive and pose simply because they make their distance towards the theater. It’s fun, provides a sense of spectacle and enables you understand once they will lower the lights and drop the puck and start the film. Toronto Film Festival planners might want to consider this tactic continue I’ve attended three Thomson Hall premieres, and whatever they’ve got happening at this time around is intolerable.
