“This is some Jumanji sh*t…”
That line couldn’t be more apt to describe 13 Demons. A fresh take on the evils of roleplaying games and how the lines between games and reality can become blurred (anyone remember back in the 80s when Dungeons and Dragons was said to be the work of the devil?), 13 Demons sees three nerdy guys get a hold of a long-banned board game called 13 Daemons – why banned? Well apparently 30 years ago, when the game originally debuted, there was a slew of murders of innocent people by those that were playing the game; as the line between the game and reality became blurred for all that took part.
Of course our protagonists believe none of that, instead choosing to crack open 13 Daemons and...

“What’s the difference between a memoir and life?” “I’m an agent, not a philosopher.” That’s writer/director/actor Stephen Elliott quizzing his agent, played by James Urbaniak, in After Adderall, the director’s feature-length, rapid-response to the strange experience of having his memoir turned into a movie starring James Franco. Elliott has assembled a great cast, including Michael C. Hall and Lili Taylor alongside numerous authors playing themselves (Jerry Stahl, Susan Orlean, Michael Cunningham). The film is currently being submitted to film festivals.

Shaq may not drive it straight, but he hits it hard ... a lesson a golf fan learned the hard way Wednesday ... telling TMZ Sports the NBA legend smashed a tee shot directly into his shoulder at a golf tourney. Big Aristotle let it rip at the 8th hole of the Greenbrier Classic Pro-Am in West Virginia ... and shanked a line drive into a spectator -- Mike Cunningham -- who attended the tourney to see O'Neal.

The immensely talented Meryl Streep continues her illustrious career with two more adaptations. Streep has been officially cast in The Giver, an adaptation of the beloved Newbery Medal book, being directed by Philip Noyce (Catch a Fire, Salt). In addition, The Giver also gains actors Alexander Skarsgard (seen in Melancholia, Battleship, The East) and Cameron Monaghan (seen on "Shameless"). Jeff Bridges stars in the film, which starts shooting this fall in South Africa. Streep is also confirmed for Michael Cunningham's The Good House adaptation with Robert De Niro (the fourth film these two will be in together) as we reported. As for The Giver, The Weinstein Company and Walden Media are producing the adaptation of Lois Lowry's bestselling novel. This has been one of Jeff Bridges passion projects for a while, and it sounds like it's finally coming together and shooting this year with Philip Noyce at the helm.

Professional and perennial chameleon Meryl Streep has added two new items to her to-do list, and they couldn't be more different.
The first is an adaptation of "The Good House" by Ann Leary, the New York Times bestseller about an alcoholic realtor, Hildy Good (Streep), who's descended from one of the victims of the Salem witch trials. Robert De Niro is on board to play Hildy's old paramour, a role that will reunite the "Deer Hunter" co-stars and hopefully continue De Niro's return to form after missteps like "The Big Wedding." With Michael Cunningham on script duty, "The Good House" will surely attract a director of merit. De Niro's Tribeca Productions is producing, with FilmNation.
Streep is also circling "The Giver," an adaptation of the 1993 Lois Lowry Ya novel. Dystopian young adult novels are all the rage these days, but if you take into account how many summer reading lists include this award-winning book,...

Hollywood titans, who have five Oscars between them, to play ex-lovers in film version of Ann Leary's bestselling novel
Hollywood titans Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro are to star opposite one another for the fourth time in an adaptation of Ann Leary's darkly comic bestselling novel The Good House.
Streep will play Hildy Good, a lifelong resident of Boston's North Shore who befriends a beautiful young new arrival while struggling with her own drink problem. De Niro stars as Good's eccentric old flame Frank Getchell, who warns her to steer clear of her new companion.
Streep, 64, and the 69-year-old De Niro are among Hollywood's most decorated stars, with five Oscars and dozens of nominations between them. Streep made her name with an Oscar-winning turn as the fiancee of Christopher Walken's Vietnam infantryman Nick Chevotarevich in Michael Cimino's searing 1978 war drama The Deer Hunter, in which De Niro played staff sergeant Mike Vronsky.

Seventeen years after their last onscreen date, the greats that are Meryl Streep and Robert De Niro will co-star together in The Good House, an adaptation of Ann Leary’s recent novel about a recovering alcoholic in a small Massachusetts town. (But it’s funny, apparently.) Michael Cunningham, of the Hours, will write the script. No director yet, but it will probably be someone pretty important, because did you read all those other names? Right.

Nicole Kidman puts in an Oscar-winning performance as author Virginia Woolf in this adaptation of Michael Cunningham's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel about the writer and two women who are deeply affected by her work. Drawing parallels with Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, director Stephen Daldry and screenwriter David Hare skilfully dovetail Woolf's tragic story with those of a 1950s housewife (Julianne Moore) and a modern day party hostess (Meryl Streep). All three face issues of sexuality with varying degrees of tragedy, but though the mood is sombre the drama oozes with sensitivity and class.

“Normally, we have radios and shit to do this with, but we’re going bare bones today,” shouts Michael Maren, author and first-time director, during the very last day of filming his debut feature, A Short History of Decay. A volunteer cast eagerly follows his direction, which consists mainly of the orders “Look up,” “Look down,” and “Get back to work!” “Work” happens to be their day job, the distinctly unfilmable act of writing.Forty-three bona fide New York authors arose as early as 4 a.m. to make this morning’s six o’clock call at Park Slope’s popular freelancer perch, the Kos Kaffe. An hour into the shoot, half of them are in the glare of the film’s single light and a rented camera. At a front table, Elissa Schappell, Darin Strauss, and Mary Morris pretend to work. Behind them are memoirist-poet Nick Flynn (Another Bullshit Night in Suck City...

The Samurai Trilogy (Criterion) Director Hiroshi Inagaki’s sprawling epic filmed from 1954-56 is an early Japanese Technicolor masterpiece, rivaling the scope of filmmakers like David Lean and Luchino Visconti. Toshiro Mifune, Japan’s greatest actor, stars as real-life swordsman, artist and writer Musashi Miyamoto, following his growth from callow youth to disciplined warrior. The three films: the Oscar winning “Musashi Miyamoto,” “Duel at Ichijoji Temple,” and “Duel at Ganryu Island” are an incredible story of human growth, tender love and sublime, blood-soaked action. Not to be missed. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Interviews with translator and historian William Scott Wilson; Trailers. Full screen. Dolby 1.0 mono.
The 39 Steps (Criterion) Alfred Hitchcock’s 1935 story of spies, conspiracies and sexual tension put him on the map on both sides of the Pond. Robert Donat stars as an innocent thrust into a deadly plot alongside a cool blonde (Madeleine Carroll...

The Pulitzer prize for fiction will not be awarded this year after the jury couldn't raise a majority for any of the candidates. But is this such a bad thing?
Alex Clark: Observer writer and former Booker prize judge
Just what the literary world needs – another judging spat! I confess that when I heard that the Pulitzer prize for fiction, due to be awarded to the best American novel of last year, was being kept in its cupboard because the committee couldn't reach a majority verdict about any one of the three finalists, my first thought was – good on them. Why do prize juries insist on pronouncing one book – or play, or work of art, or piece of music – worthy of attention and acclaim, even if they privately think that it wasn't all that, just the thing that drifted to the top of the pile or whose advocate had the...

On Monday, Columbia University announced the 2012 Pulitzer Prize winners, but two categories was notably absent from the list. No winner was awarded for the editorial writing category, but more notably, there was no prize for fiction -- previously won by such canonical works as "The Grapes of Wrath" and "To Kill a Mockingbird."
It's the first time since 1977 that the judges have declined to name a winner in this category. Certainly, there has been outrage and surprise expressed on via social media, with some tweeters suggesting that the lack of an award points to a decline in the quality of published works.
The jurors for the prize were Maureen Corrigan, Michael Cunningham, and Susan Larson. According to The Daily Beast, the finalists they chose in the fiction category were the unfinished "The Pale King," a posthumous work by David Foster Wallace, Karen Russell's "Swamplandia!", and the Denis Johnson novella "Train Dreams.
