Followup tweets prove he is sincere. #embedly_twitter_35513826{background:url(http://a0.twimg.com/profile_background_images/11077932/images-2.jpg) #6cdee4;padding:20px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 0px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px;line-height:22px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .embedly_tweet_content{background:#fff;padding:10px 12px 10px 12px;margin:0;min-height:48px;color:#000;font-size:18px !important;line-height:22px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p span.metadata{display:block;width:100%;clear:both;margin-top:0px;height:40px;padding-bottom:12px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p span.metadata span.author{line-height:15px;color:#999;font-size:14px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p span.metadata span.author a{line-height:15px;font-size:20px;vertical-align:middle;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p span.metadata span.author img{float:left;margin:0 10px 0 0px;width:48px;height:48px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p a {color:#445f69;text-decoration:none;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 p a:hover{text-decoration:underline;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .embedly_timestamp{font-size:13px;display:inline-block;margin-top:5px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .components-above span.embedly_timestamp{font-size:10px;margin-top:1px;line-height:12px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 a {color:#445f69;text-decoration:none;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 a:hover{text-decoration:underline;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-screen-name {font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-full-name {padding-left:4px;color:#999;font-size:12px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions{margin-left:10px;font-size:13px;display:inline-block;width:250px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .components-above span.tweet-actions{font-size:10px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .controls{line-height:12px!important;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions a {margin-left:5px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions a b{font-weight:normal;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .components-above span.tweet-actions a b{vertical-align:baseline;line-height:12px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .components-above .tweet-text{font-size:13px;vertical-align:baseline;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-image {float:left;width:40px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-user-block-image {float:left;width:48px;height:48px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-row {margin-left:40px;margin-top:3px;line-height:17px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-user-block {}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .stream-item {padding-bottom:0px;margin-left:12px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .simple-tweet-image img {margin-top:4px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .simple-tweet-content {margin:0 0 13px 0px;font-size:14px;min-height:48px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .in-reply-to-border {border-color:#EBEBEB;border-style:solid;border-width:1px 0 0;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .in-reply-to-text {margin-left:4px;padding-left:8px;padding-right:10px;color:#999;font-size:12px;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions i {background:transparent url(http://a2.twimg.com/a/1306889658/phoenix/img/sprite-icons.png) no-repeat;width:15px;height:15px;margin:0 4px 3px;outline:none;vertical-align:baseline;display:inline-block;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions a.retweet-action i {background-position:-192px 0;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions a.reply-action i {background-position:0 0;}#embedly_twitter_35513826 .tweet-actions a.favorite-action i {background-position:-32px 0;}@JoshMalinaJoshua Malina Rowan Atkinson made me laugh until I cried a couple times in Johnny English Reborn.Oct 24 via Twitter for MacFavoriteRetweetReply 4.

Apple Stock Takes Hit As 4Q Misses Targets apple apple iphone Sales Take Brunt Of Blame

Sluggish sales of apple apple iphones throughout Apple’s fourth quarter brought to revenue that was up greater than 39% year-over-year at $28.27 billion but missed experts’ estimations. Earnings per share were $7.05, under Wall Street’s $7.39 target — the first time the business has missed Broadened polystyrene estimations, or any estimations, for the matter, in apparently forever (OK, since 2004).

Joe Cornish on Attack The Block sequel ideas and US remake

Joe Cornish (of Adam and Joe fame), has spoken about potential spin-offs to his South London-set hoodies-vs-aliens flick Attack The Block.The movie itself was something of an opinion-splitter, but it has certified cult status, and offered a fresh perspective on a well-worn genre.Talking to IFC, via Collider, Cornish said that John Boyega (the film's lead, Moses), has presented him with some compelling sequel ideas:"He has this image of a bigger alien attack on London, as if the attack we saw in Attack The Block was just the [first] wave and there's another wave of bigger creatures. And he described to me this image of Moses leading a whole army of hood kids across the Thames, next to the houses of Parliament."He had an image of Moses on a police horse. You know the police in London who have those horses they use in riots...somehow Moses has got onto one of those horses. So he's on a horse leading this army of South London kids across the river to take on this bigger wave of aliens."So yeah it's really fun to think of stuff like that and what we could do."Cornish also confirmed that there had been interest in potential spin-offs for the franchise: "We've had approaches for a remake and a sequel. We've had approaches for a TV show to spin off it. But it's very early days, you know."So it's not out of the question but very early days, and I'd certainly like to do something different for my next thing if I get a chance to do a next thing."

And also the exit is amongst the memorable in television history.our editor recommends'Breaking Bad' Star Bryan Cranston on Walter White-colored: 'He's Well on His Approach to Badass' (Q&A) STORY: AMC Renews 'Breaking Bad' for 16 Final Episodes However, if Esposito grew to become an associate from the acclaimed AMC series in season two, he was hired just for a few possible guest spots. How did he vary from affable chicken chain owner for the cold blooded killer who removes an entire wing in the Mexican drug cartel in one fell swoop? The Hollywood Reporter can get the scoop. STORY: Summer season's Individuals who win and Nonwinners: What TV Audiences Were Watching [Warning: Spoilers ahead.] The Hollywood Reporter: What came you to definitely certainly Breaking Bad to start with? Giancarlo Esposito: I have a look at Breaking Bad just like a show in regards to the American family. It's an amazing analysis of where we're what just like a people. Middle-class people have become desperate. You can get a moral guy to destroy bad. It will make you request yourself the question: How does one react just in case your chips were lower? THR: It seems Vince Gilligan didn't have a very apparent path or arc for Gus when he initially hired your self on season two. Esposito: No, I don't think anybody focusing on the program did. It found me just like a guest place, two or three episodes. Gus was the manager of chicken restaurant, and possibly some factor. A Few Things I loved is always that he's affable, showing up just like a manager but has the whole chain. I decided to produce him suprisingly low key, to become great listener. They asked for me would I return for your third season. However only decided to hesitate to accomplish guest place after guest place -- I seriously considered part of the Breaking Bad family. Essentially was gonna return, I desired to come back as full-fledged character. They offered me seven episodes, which i mentioned no. They offered me nine, which i wound up doing eleven. I desired to make a character who increased being intrinsic for the show. In addition to their writing inspired me to think about, to create someone threatening, poignant, polite. Gus talks along with his eyes. I didn't take advantage from the word "villain" to describe Gus. THR: When perhaps you have get the feeling Gus would meet a glorious flamboyant demise? Esposito: I understood in the start of season four "Box Cutter," when Gus cuts a man's throat before Wally and Jesse. I understood he wouldn't be around for just about any very very long time next.

I mentioned, "Well, okay, as extended since it's fantastic!" He mentioned, "It'll be! You need to to blow the face area off!" The two of us thought it may be like Gus to live an outburst for just about any handful of seconds -- he'd button his jacket, straighten his tie -- then just keel over and die. Vince emerged using this brilliant way will be able to leave -- Provided him full credit. THR: How perhaps you have all save this secret, since you shot the ending within this summer time. Esposito: My friend Samuel L. Jackson came lower for the set to visit me, despite the fact that he was there, his script for your Avengers got online. Apparently, it got stuck in the copier in Toronto. That's when Vince stopped printing anything about Gus on paper. The script never left his office. You possessed to get involved with his office to determine it. From what Let me tell, lots of people believe Gus did poison Brock while using ricin. They were clearly all wrong! THR: After Wally kills Gus, does Gus end up being the new Gus, the completely new drug kingpin in the Southwest? Esposito: I like what these authors triggered by heighten the suspense. The story is actually to think about this common guy with a meth kingpin, that was the story. Mr. Chipps becomes Scarface. It'll appear like Wally's getting closer. THR: How did they have produced the design of the face area getting blown off? Esposito: I desired to sit down and possess a cast of my thoughts made. Installed goop in my mind, throughout. I'd tubes drained of my nose to breathe. Many stars can't deal with the process, it's quite claustrophobic.They provided a mold of my whole mind. They created the cratered breathing apparatus silently I made use of makeup within the scene, and so they digitally matched up in the mind to my face on film. They marked it getting a sharpie and digital dots. It needed five several hours to create that mind -- it absolutely was a due process! THR: You don't finish up finding somebody who's had their face blown served by a great time awaken and walk. Esposito: That helps guide you tough Gus is. It's a reveal if you see him. You're shocked -- which he looks excellent -- until he turns his mind. It almost seems to go in the whole world of the supernatural. THR: Gus is really a frightening dude. Are people frightened of you after they assist you in normal places now? Esposito: Yeah! I used to be making an plane yesterday together with a young lady was walking toward me and out of the blue gasped, and mentioned, "Gus!" I mentioned, "I'm unlikely to bite you." Lots of people who love the show are deferential. Others appear and shake my hands. People are extremely very influenced with this show. In my opinion I might need to let my hair grow out now -- to be able to have a very kinder look for myself. I am in a position to feel Gus starting to depart me. I used to be walking lower the street yesterday with excellent posture -- which i'd this whiff of Gus. I mentioned, "Escape here, Gus, you're on hiatus!" THR: Well, he's additionally to that particular. He's quite dead. Esposito: With Breaking Bad, you never know! I have got a sense I'd maintain Gus' shoes. There are plenty of flashbacks relating to this show. Who knows what's readily available for next season? The plot keeps thickening. In BB, people return within the dead. I really do desire to direct an instalment of Breaking Bad next season. Vince which i've spoken about this. THR: What's inside the immediate future for Giancarlo Esposito? Esposito: I'm creating and pointing a film about reality TV, I've rewritten it having a couple of writing partners. Jeremy Piven might be charge he'll play in the No. 1 reality show host in the united states, who involves be sorry. There is a job I'd take part in the film, however need a stellar cast.

Real Steel Bot-Fight Wins Weak Weekend George Clooneys Ides Of March Distant #2

SATURDAY PM/SUNDAY AM,3RD UPDATE: Youthful males used tobe Hollywood’s audience. However when i’ve been mentioning recently, they’re not consistently (and indiscriminately) going to the films any more. The reason being either financial or lots of other entertainment options. That was the gist of internal conversations inside art galleries all summer season when uncompelling farefell short with youthful males who continued to be in the malls.But would this troubling pattern continue into fall? It’s fuzzy up to now.DreamWorks/Disney’s Real Steel needed a mammoth marketing push to work up mediocre monitoring so that it could dominate north of manchester American box officeall weekend. Disney confirmedgrosses elevated +30% from Friday to Saturday for just about any $29M opening weekend plus an ‘A’ CinemaScore.Problem is Hollywood may have impressedif the finish result was $35M because of its family overlay and$110+M budget. In comparison,George Clooney’s newcomer The Ides Of March had basically a $12.5M production budget after rebates. But this R-rated adult political thriller co-starring Ryan Gosling washard to promote for that new the new sony Pictures. The piceked out $10.5M, underneath the modestweekend whichHollywood expected afterit was ahit at both Venice and Toronto Film Festivals. Though well-examined, audiences gave it really a b - - CinemaScore though people under age 25 presented a b - -+. The comfort in the box office held wellfor an overallweak weekend. Listed below are the Top10 movies: 1. Real Steel (DreamWorks/Disney) NEW [3,440 Theaters] Friday $8.5M, Saturday $12M,Weekend $29M This Take advantage of Levy-directed bot fight starring Hugh Jackman received an infrequent ‘A’ CinemaScore overall and ‘A+’ from moviegoers under age 25. But itsawareness and wannaseegoing into this weekendconcerned DreamWorks because, contrary lately, monitoring remains overperforming box office, not the opposite way round.It had been considered an essential weekend financially for your restarted studio. Sources described as recently as Friday that Real Steel needed to create $125+M all in in your area to keep India’s Reliance funding on course (even though Boss Stacey Snider mentioned the partnership is solid).But even though it placed #1,the below-$30M weekend opening is soft for your PG-13 father-boy dramaif it hopes to recoup its $110+M costs. Disney thinks Sunday and Monday business could push the cume greater because of the Columbus Day holiday when 36% of babies come from school. Which explains why the pic was offered as feel-good family fare (Levy directed Evening Within The Museum et al)at the same time while using Rocky With Robots rock’em-sock’em. Hugh Jackman stars since the relatable everyman — that's, if everyone stood a hardbody and Sugar Ray Leonard just like a boxing trainer — with Dakota Goyo plucked from thousands of 10-year-old boys who auditioned to see boy Max. The pic is founded on the 1956 short story Steel by Richard Matheson, who seven years later modified it for just about any 1974 episode in the Twilight Zone starring Lee Marvin in the advanced arena of android combatants. John Gatins received script credit with Serta Gilroy and Jeremy Leven getting story credit, and Don Murphy, Susan Montford, and Shawn Levy producer credit. Marketing was predictably all pervading and pricey, including cast personal examines Comic-Disadvantage,CinemaCon, Super Bowl XLV, Basketball finals and Nfl fall games. Showing the airline travel can do anything for just about any handful of dollars, Virgin America permanently high quality its new Airbus A320 Real Steel and wrapped the plane with image from film. Extensive integration happened on ESPN including webpage takeover across all platforms yesterday the movies release.ESPN Deportes, Boxeo Telemundo sponsorship, Univision tie-straight into Futbol Liga Mexicana, Solo Boxeo, plus much more were specific at Hispanic audiences. Overseas, the pic folded to 24% in the worldwide market a couple of days ago including Jackman’s native Australia followinga global press junket in La, and worldwide press tours in France, Russia, Germany, Uk, Latin America, plus Toronto and Here. 2. The Ides Of March (The brand new the new sony) NEW [2,199 Theaters] Friday $3.4M, Saturday $4.3M, Weekend $10.5M Let’s tell the truth: George Clooney can’t marquee a substantial movie any more unless of course obviously it’s an ensemble. But even though he’s only modest box office, Hollywood still really wants to remain in business with him and also the classy low-budget films which get attention at honours time. So $11M-$13M grossing photos (his average without frequent co-star Kaira Pitt) are acceptable as extended since the production budgets remain for the reason that range too. LikeThe Ides Of March did. The brand new the new sony Pictures acquired rights to distribute because the project used to be in development. It’s good play Farragut North by Love Willimon, a author who’d done Howard Deans presidential campaign. It’s the initial film using the new the new sony since Clooney and also the Smokehouse Pictures partner Grant Heslov moved from Warner Bros towards the new the new sony this past year. The Ides Of March was fully funded by Mix Creek Pictures so John Oliver shares producer credit. Millimon’s first Farragut North draft showed up so clean that Clooney and Heslov committed immediately. They re-written the script with Willimon and re-referred to it as The Ides Of March, possibly a too-apparent reference to the everything Shakespearean plotting in Julius Caesar. Ultimately, the pic could execute a 5X multiple because of individual to individual as well as the standoutcast’s Oscar chancesincludingRyan Gosling, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Paul Giamatti, Marisa Tomei, and Evan Rachel Wood. The film’s first trailer elevated with Crazy, Stupid, Love within this summer time. Nevertheless the impact launched within the Venice Film Festival within the finish of August, and produced towards the Red-colored-colored Carpet gala at Toronto.Nevertheless, marketing a political film within the liberal Clooney — specially when he’s director, producer, and author — can be a tough task in this deeply divided 2012 election climate. (Allegedly the script may have handled to obtain for the silver screen sooner nevertheless it was considered too cynical to produce when Leader Obama first needed office. Much less now) Interesting how Ryan Gosling is featured more plainly round the one-sheet than Clooney even though George came out quickly magazine’s cover in solid existence. This describes why, inside the TV ad, The brand new the new sony needed great careto barely show Clooney in addition to hint within the specific ideology behind The Ides Of March. (Like, duh.) The media campaign specific grownups of both sexes andits highlights incorporated the Emmy Honours, year primetime premieres, Nfl fall games, as well as the Mlb divisional 2010 national football league 2010 nfl playoffs. Trailers were broadcast throughout CNN’s Piers Morgan talk show too. 3.Dolphin Tale (Alcon/Warner Bros) Week 3 [3,478 Theaters] Friday $2.4M, Saturday #3.7M,Weekend $9M, Cume $48.9M 4.

Motion Picture Academy Leaders Hype New LACMA Movie Museum Plans: All The Pieces Fit Together

Just when you thought it was a dead duck, it’s back and quacking. For those who have had the dream of a world class movie museum coming to fruitionin L.A.,film capital of the world(countme in on that), last night’s announcement that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the Los Angeles County Museum of Arthave begun the process of finally making that dream come true is good news all around. Andthat longtime dream museum, which was turning intomore of a nightmare for the Academy, is going to beright down the street from the Acad’s own Beverly Hills headquarters (at least that’s the plan). The Academy issaying the project housed in the historic old May Co. on Wilshire Blvd now known as LACMA West will take three to five years to complete. “We are on the fast track but it will be determined by fund raising,” said the Acad’s new CEO Dawn Hudson, who spoke with me todayin a conference callwith Academy President Tom Sherak and LACMA CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director Michael Govan. Hudson wasn’t throwing out official figures but says she expects it will cost less than half the rough estimate of $480 million that the Academy had targeted for their earlier foiledplan to erect this museum in Hollywood where theyspent about$50 million so far buying land (which theynow own outright) near their Pickford Center on Vine Street. But the idea to house the museum instead at the already existing 300,000-square-foot space on Wilshire actually goes back decades when it was even broached by former Academy Presidents Walter Mirisch and Bob Rehme. It heated up again about a year and a half ago with a casual conversation between another Govan and another former Academy President Sid Ganis, who then introduced the museum head to Sherak and then CEO Bruce Davis. “For about an hour and a half I did something I rarely do. I just listened to someone talk who had a vision and a dream about what this could mean to the City of Los Angeles to bring different art forms, especially our two art forms together in one place,” said Sherak, who emphasized that the Board wanted a museum in their lifetime but that the Academy didn’t know how long it would take them to raise the money and build one themselves. Govan came to the rescue. “Being in the museum world, I see film programs at museums in Paris and Frankfurt. I wanted that in Los Angeles and I knew the Academy had a dream and they had a great resource. So the question was what could we offer to help and that was the beginning of the conversation,” said Govan. Sherak explained the Board approved further exploring the alliance with LACMA and put a committee together. But after June 1 when Davis retired and Hudson arrived, things really started moving. Before she lefther previous job,Hudson forged an alliance with LACMA and Govan in which Film Independent would take overrunning themuseum’s troubled film program so she already knew him and sparked immediately to the new museum idea. “It was like going to target practice and hitting the bulls-eye 15 times in a row. Before anybody knew it, including me, there were budgets, and she was like Road Runner. Next thing I knew we were all in a room and finally negotiated an M.O.U. (Memorandum of Understanding) and he presented it to his Board and we presented to our Board last night and we decided we were gonna see a museum in our lifetime,” said a clearly energized Sherak. The significant process cannot come at a better time as it seemsmajor collections that conceivably might have been a part of the new museum are going on the block and being sold piecemeal to private collectors, many out of the country.Seven hundred items from the John Wayne estate including keycostumes, awards, scripts and personal documents are going for auction this weekend, while Debbie Reynolds is continuing to sell off her invaluable collection of costumes after fruitless attempts to get a museum going herself. “Not that I could say to you that we ever could have bought the Debbie Reynolds collection as a whole. We couldn’t have done that. The collection’s worth a lot of money, you would have had to put an oil well up,” said Sherak. But Hudson wants to emphasize what the Academy already has on its own. “As you well know the Academy has made a lot of investment over the years in building this world-class archive and film library like none other so now our year-round work will have a home, a place to display it, a distillation of all the Academy’s missions that the general public doesn’t know enough about, ” said Hudson in pointing out that there is much more to the organization than just the Oscars. “We have 42,000 movie posters and 10 million catalogued movie photographs. We have such beautiful artifacts of our film history and there hasn’t been a public place to see those or access those.” Sherak points out the Academy is always looking out for acquisitions. “We have more stuff stored than Carter has liver pills. The bottom line is we never stop doing that. And it is in all facets of the business from the first printing press of motion picture one-sheets. We have stuff stored that would spin your head, that nobody knows about. It’s a continuing thing for us,” he says. And Govan thinks the new museum will even breed more. “From a museum perspective I personally have talked toa lot of people about the artifacts and posters and things they have and I think there’s that sense that if there were a museum people would donate. Cities build great museums and people feel like there’s a home for the objects they have cared for during their life and they know the public can benefit from that,” he says. Sherak also wants to make clear they have not abandoned the Hollywood site (although I am toldkey figures at the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce were caught by surprise — and not happy campers — when they read todayof the Academy’s proposednew locationfor their museum). “We own that land. It’s ours free and clear and we’re now in the process of spending money to raze those buildings and to make it a place to go. We’ll probably do some exhibits there. We’ll do some stuff with the land. I’ve always had this dream of running an outdooor theatre there which I really believe in. We’re definitely in Hollywood. The Pickford Center sits there. We’re invested. We’re not going anywhere. The plan is to make that land useful to us,” Sherak says. But clearly the momentum has moved from Hollywood to the historic building that sits on the corner of Wilshire and Fairfax and which was built in 1939, the year many still feel was the greatest ever for the movies. “It just seemed like the timing was right,” Hudson said. “All the pieces fit together.”

Ultraviolet set for global roll-out

CANNES -- The new cloud storage system Ultraviolet, which bows in the U.S. Oct. 11, will announce a global roll-out in the coming months with launches imminent in both the U.K. and Canada. Warner Bros. exec Justin Herz, speaking during a conference session at Mipcom Tuesday, said that more than 50% of the studio's film and TV catalog would be available via UV by the end of next year while Fox indicated that "a significant" amount of its fare would soon be UV-enabled. The studios that have signed up for UV, which include NBC Universal and Fox -- a group from which Disney is conspicuously absent -- hope the new technology will re-ignite the home entertainment market and prove a much-needed boost to revenues following the collapse of DVD sales, and the failure of Blu-ray to generate widespread excitement among film and TV lovers. UV-enabled discs allow consumers to watch the same piece of content on 12 different devices, be it connected TVs, laptops, tablets or mobiles, anywhere in the world once they open an account giving them access to online streaming. The first UV release, Warners' "Horrible Bosses," bows Oct. 11, with further releases due in the coming weeks. The first TV skein will be CW's "One Tree Hill," and is expected in the coming months, indicated Herz. Despite the imminent launch Mark Teitell, general manager of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, declined to say how much the service would cost. This would be worked out between content suppliers and retail partners. But Herz, senior VP, direct-to-consumer, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution and general manager, Warner Bros. advanced digital services, was anything but tight-lipped on how digital distribution had to date let down the public. He said: "We have done a terrible job at introducing digital product and the consumer has voted vociferously against what we have done." Whether UV does any better remains to be seen, but Teitell sounded determined, if realistic. He said: "There is a lot to be worked out. We are just getting startedThe goal is to make Ultraviolet available everywhere Blu-rays and DVDs are for sale." Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
