Song Of The Sea's Tomm Moore is working on a new film called Wolfwalkers. Here are the new pictures...
Cartoon Saloon and Tomm Moore’s The Secret Of Kells was a very beautiful, tender and exquisitely crafted feature film, but their follow up, Song Of The Sea (available now on DVD and Blu-ray), was on another level entirely. It was even more beautiful, more tender and even more exquisitely crafted, as well as being smarter, richer and more cogent, coherent and complete.
One was a very good film, the other was a genuine masterpiece. Maybe Cartoon Saloon will soon become as widely known and well-loved as Pixar and Studio Ghibli.
The studio’s next film is to be The Breadwinner, Norah Twomey’s adaptation of Deborah Ellis’ novel about a girl going undercover as a boy in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan so that she can provide for her family.

Although it was denied Oscar-night glory by Big Hero 6, Gaelic animation Song Of The Sea is far too charming to begrudge Baymax and co their moment of glory. The second hand-drawn animation from Irishman Tomm Moore, its siren song will finally be heard on these shores in July. Here’s a new poster and a UK trailer to help spread the word.A seaside-set yarn about a silent young girl who’s part human and part seal – a mythological Selkie – and her older brother, Song Of The Sea is a folklore-infused adventure featuring witches, killer owls, a grieving lighthouse man voiced by Brendan Gleeson and a whole mess of mystical spirits. It’s very much in the spirit of Studio Ghibli’s output, combining coming-of-age and visual playfulness, although The Secret Of Kells man again brings his own Celtic stamp to things. The story was conjured up by director...

Chicago – Just in time for its potential win of the “Best Animated Feature” Oscar this Sunday, the Irish animated film “Song of the Sea” opens this weekend at Chicago’s Music Box Theater. A grab-bag myth come to storytelling life, this film is vitalized by its gorgeous animation as much as the heart within its narrative.
An accomplishment that would make the likes of Hayao Miyazaki proud, “Song of the Sea” is a gift to fans of animation.
Rating: 4.0/5.0
This animated treasure from the “Secret of Kells” director Tomm Moore is an original story, but based on the Irish folklore of Selkies, creatures that live as seals in the sea, but humans on land. Moore angles his Selkie tale to focus on themes of humans dealing with burrowed grief. In “Song of the Sea,” a father (Conor, voiced by Brendan Gleeson) cares for his children, his pre-teen Ben (David Rawle...

Song of the Sea
Written by Will Collins
Directed by Tomm Moore
Ireland/Denmark/Belgium/Luxembourg/France, 2014
Song of the Sea is a beautiful film. Its vivid art style easily separates it from the prosaic sameness that currently grips much of mainstream animation. That’s the big advantage that animated films made by smaller outfits, such as Cartoon Saloon, have over the Disneys and Dreamworks of the world. But there’s a weakness to them as well, one that Song of the Sea stumbles on: a frustratingly muddled story approach.
One thing that major studios have going for them is that their executive-scrutinized teams of artists will usually ensure that their movies contain a narrative propulsion. Independents favor a slower approach, because, let’s face it, most of them are trying to be Studio Ghibli. And this is an admirable aim, to be sure. But the Ghibli writers and animators...

Song Of The Sea arrived to a red carpet reception for its European premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on Saturday afternoon. Taking pride of place for the festival's Family Gala, the keenly anticipated second feature from The Secret Of Kells director Tomm Moore was well supported by the creators and voice actors. The film follows the story of a young boy, Conor (voiced by David Rawle) and his quiet little sister Saoirse (Lucy O’Connell), who live by the sea in Ireland with their widowed father (Brendan Gleeson). Soon their ordinary lives take a turn for the strange and the family start to question whether the ancient myths of their country might actually contain some real life truth. The story was conjured up by director Moore and magicked into a screenplay by Will Collins. "The original fantasy that Tomm had," said Collins, "was a story about a family...

The product of a miraculously unique brand of animated alchemy, Tomm Moore’s follow-up to the Academy Award-nominated “The Secret of Kells,” is an even more stunning work of art. As if wrapped in a blanket made of gorgeous magical dreams, watching “Song of the Sea” is a spellbinding experience that captures fantasy in its purest form. Cartoon Saloon has once again reinterpreted Irish folktales and crafted a world so unimaginably alluring is hard not to surrender to its charm.
Sporting a superhero cape and a spunky attitude, Ben (voiced by David Rawle) is a 10-year-old boy who lives in an island with his younger sister Saoirse, his father Conor (Brendan Gleeson), a lighthouse keeper, and his adorable dog Cú, a joyful and loyal furball. Living in what seems to be the 80s, Ben’s most prized possessions include goofy 3-D glasses and a rock-and-roll-ready Walkman - fun items for a kid his age. But amongst these, a peculiar seashell given to him by Bronagh (Lisa Hannigan), his mother, before passing away, holds a special place in his memory. The singular keepsake doesn’t only connect him to her, but also to the many stories of magical creatures and enchanted worlds he grew up listening to. His role as a big brother is not something he enjoys. Little Saoirse, who has never uttered a word but is their father’s only source of happiness, easily frustrates Ben.
One night as if in a trance, Saoirse is escorted into the ocean by a group of smiling seals wearing a shiny mystical coat that belonged to her mother. It is then that her remarkable power is revealed. She is a beautiful white Selkie - a mythological being that lives as a human on ground and as a seal underwater – and has a mission to accomplish. But after this incident, the kids pompous Granny (Fionnula Flanagan), who lives in the city, beliefs the seaside life is too dangerous and takes them back with her to the urban sprawl. Their father is still so paralyzed with grief after losing his beloved wife that he agrees with her plan.
Unsatisfied with their new situation, the siblings attempt to trek back to the island. Along the way they are confronted with an array of whimsical friends and enemies realizing that those mythical stories their mom used to recite are actually tangible. Musical fairies in distress, an eccentric Wiseman whose every hair holds a memory, and an owl-like witch who stores her emotions, and those of everyone else in this magical realm, in tight-sealed enchanted jars. Indeed a clever metaphor for bottling emotions that turn hearts into stone. Only Saoirse’s yet non-existent voice can save them and restore order both in the real world and the ancestral kingdom.
Resembling rustic watercolor paintings enhanced with movement, there is an artisanal quality to every frame. From the sea, to the city, to the forest and the fantastical underworld, the amount of details employed in every creature and space is breathtaking. Nothing is overlooked. So meticulous is their approach that even transmission towers have a distinct design. Unattainable by solely using computer animation, the film’s visual aesthetic feels simultaneously handcrafted and otherworldly. Filled with a classical warmth, “Song of the Sea” should remind everyone why animation, when done as flawlessly as it is here, is such a incredible medium. Color, form, and fluid motion delivered in an unforgettable style that's at the service of a similarly compelling story.
An ethereal atmosphere imbues the film thanks to the evocative score by Bruno Coulais. His music builds a bridge between the two worlds and adds a wonderfully enigmatic tone. By the same token, the glowing lighting work of the animators is worthy of enormous praise. Their manufactured cinematography is vivid and subtle all at once. It makes the sea shimmer with uncanny intensity and the lovely characters sparkle with life. Written by William Collins, the narrative itself packs heartfelt themes weaved into the mythological components. Adults have been consumed with pain and have protected themselves with solid armatures only breakable with the hopeful innocence of children. Reconnecting with ones roots and appreciating the value of selfless courage, figure prominently as themes in the film.
With only two animated features under his belt, it's clear that a few years from now –sooner rather than later – we will be talking about Tomm Moore with the same reverence and adoration as we do now about Miyazaki. Here is a new master animator on his way to becoming legendary on his own right. Moore has taken us on a journey into Irish folklore that truly isn’t quite like anything seen before. Old tales of honor, valor, and family values adapted for the screen with the transfixing power of its dreamlike drawings. Watching “Song of the Sea” it's easy to assert that this is one of the most blissfully beautiful animated films ever made. It is a gem beaming with awe-inspiring, heartwarming magic.
"Song of the Sea" had its World Premier on Saturday September 6th at Tiff. Gkids will release the film theatrically on December 19th in NYC and Toronto.

Hilary Mantel, Jonathan Franzen, Mohsin Hamid, Ruth Rendell, Tom Stoppard, Malcolm Gladwell, Eleanor Catton and many more recommend the books that impressed them this year
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Five Star Billionaire by Tash Aw (Fourth Estate) is a brilliant, sprawling, layered and unsentimental portrayal of contemporary China. It made me think and laugh. I also love Dave Eggers' The Circle (Hamish Hamilton), which is a sharp-eyed and funny satire about the obsession with "sharing" our lives through technology. It's convincing and a little creepy.
William Boyd
By strange coincidence two of the most intriguing art books I read this year had the word "Breakfast" in their titles. They were Breakfast with Lucian by Geordie Greig (Jonathan Cape) and Breakfast at Sotheby's by Philip Hook (Particular). Greig's fascinating, intimate biography of Lucian Freud was a revelation.

Big news, "Revenge" fans: Victoria Grayson's (Madeleine Stowe) firstborn son has been revealed!
E! News was the first to report that Justin Hartley -- who recently played medical intern Will Collins on The CW's departed "Emily Owens M.D." and who was Oliver Queen/Green Arrow on "Smallville" before Stephen Amell gave the character new life -- has been cast as Patrick, the long lost son that 16-year-old Victoria gave to a nun when he was only 6 months old so that she could attend art school in Paris.
An ABC spokesperson has confirmed Hartley's casting to The Huffington Post.
Patrick was technically introduced in "Revenge's" Season 2 finale in May when Victoria opened her front door and dropped her glass of red wine at the sight of Patrick (whose back was turned to the camera). "Revenge" fans, who previously only heard his voice say "Hello, Mother," will get to see him...

Feature scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2014.
Award-winning Irish director Tomm Moore unveiled extensive footage from his upcoming feature Song of the Sea at a Work in Progress session of the Annecy Animation Film Festival on Friday (June 14).
Like Moore’s previous film - Oscar-nominated The Secret of Kells - the picture takes inspiration from Irish folklore, centring on the legend of the Selkies, mythological creatures that are part seal, part human.
The storyline revolves around brother and sister Ben and Saoirse, who are forced to leave their coastal home to live with their grandmother in the city following their mother’s mysterious disappearance.
When they decide to runaway and return home by sea, the voyage takes an unexpected turn - leading them into a fantastical marine world - where it becomes clear there is more to Ben’s silent sister Saoirse than meets the eye.

CW fan favorite Justin Hartley just lined up his next gig, and Zap2it has the exclusive scoop!
"Melissa and Joey" has tapped the former Green Arrow to guest star as Melissa Joan Hart's new boyfriend, Noah, on Season 3 of the ABC Family comedy.
Things get complicated when Noah's apartment floods and he's forced to move in with Mel a little too early on in their relationship. It's particularly awkward since Joe (Joey Lawrence), Mel's live-in nanny, is always around.
Hartley, best known for his work as Oliver Queen on "Smallville" and the dreamy Dr. Will Collins on "Emily Owens, M.D.," has also had memorable guest appearances on "Hart of Dixie," "Castle," and "Chuck."
"Melissa and Joey" returns on May 29 with brand new episodes. Look for Hartley to appear in the latter half of the season. As we revealed exclusively, another CW mainstay, Trevor Donovan, will be guest-starring...

Emily Owens, M.D. is a show with a lot of heart. Unlike the other programs in this genre that debuted this year, Eo feels like a winner. The narrative is cohesive. It's quirky and smartly written, while still treating the medical cases seriously.
As the CW's foray into the medical drama arena, I'm giving it two thumbs up.
The pilot did a great job of explaining both the series and introducing the characters.
The premise is this: Emily starts the first day of a surgical residency feeling that she's finally "grown up." She's left the anxiety and insecurity of her younger years behind her. That is, at least until she finds that the hospital is an awful lot like high school. The issues of belonging, insecurity and jealousy remain as do the cliques, as Tyra Dupre, daughter of the hospital's Chief of Staff, points out.

Emily Owens has finally made it to the place in her life that she's been working 23 years toward. After having her nose planted firmly in textbook nearly all of her life, the former high school outsider has graduated from medical school and landed a first-year residence at Denver Memorial Hospital. It should be a time of celebration and self-congratulation, of Emily basking in the glow of her accomplishment and putting the knowledge that she's accrued to good use. However, the pilot of Emily Owens M.D. found Dr. Owens having a bit of trouble finding her footing on her new uncertain ground.
Will...You Be Mine?
Helping her in the journey to adulthood is Will Collins, her med school friend, co-worker at Denver Memorial, and crush. He's the first person Emily sees upon entering the pristine, multi-level hospital, echoing her fears of being on the bottom of the social food chain once again.

"Emily Owens M.D." (premieres Tues., Oct. 16 at 9 p.m. Et on The CW) has been hailed the all-new "Grey's Anatomy." But the cast says there's more to it than that.
The CW series follows Mamie Gummer, the titular character herself, who is starting her medical internship; Will Collins (Justin Hartley), Emily's best friend, but possibly more, who also works with her; Cassandra Kopelson (Aja Naomi King), Emily's high school rival who resurfaces at her internship ... and has her eye on Will; Tyra Granger (Kelly McCreary), Emily's new friend and closeted lesbian due to her father being chief of surgery at the hospital; and Micah Ellis (Michael Rady), the fifth-year resident guiding the new interns through the hospital halls.
Below, the actors talk about "Grey's Anatomy" comparisons, love triangles, mastering medical jargon and more!

Justin Hartley is no stranger to Vancouver. In fact, he got to know it well after several years working on the CW’s Smallville, playing the Green Arrow before the CW made a whole show about the Green Arrow.
These days, Hartley is back on the north side of the border, but this time, it has nothing to do with arrows and fight scenes. He’s still saving lives — but in a more conventional way.

Chicago – I really like Mamie Gummer, not only the daughter of our best living actress (Meryl Streep) but an increasingly interesting performer in her own right. Her charisma and ability kept me in a position where I was trying to make excuses for the poorly written, poorly directed, poorly conceived “Emily Owens, M.D.,” premiering tonight on The CW. I ran out of them before the end of the first episode.
Television Rating: 1.5/5.0
Gummer plays the title character, a neurotic, awkward TV type who is forced to be a girl in an adult’s world (except for when she’s saving lives and then she, conveniently, loses her geeky girl aesthetic). Emily Owens is such an exaggerated character — the kind of girl who uses the word crush multiple times (in a hospital), makes uncomfortable faces when talking to the Chief of Staff (the great Harry Lennix), and wouldn’t last...

Catch the first episode before the October 16th premiere, and share it around so you can talk about it.

Emily Owens takes her first cut on October 16, when the worst-titled new show of the fall season premieres on The CW.
But while Emily Owens, M.D. may not be especially appealing, the cast behind the network's answer to Grey's Anatomy is attractive in more ways than one, starting with Mamie Gummer as the title character and Justin Hartley as Dr. Will Collins.
Will you be giving this series - about a new physician who realizes life in a hospital isn't that different from life in high school - a shot?
Click through new photos from the upcoming premiere now and look for it to air immediately after Hart of Dixie.

Emily Owens, M.D. Extended Preview: Dr. Owens and the High School Hospital
Once you graduate from the highest level of higher education that you plan to go through, there's an expectation that things from here on out will be so much better than before. No more tests, no more annoying cliques, no more having to be needlessly competitive and ranked against your peers - the world of adulthood seems to have so much promise. For Dr. Emily Owens, though, graduating from med-school took her immediately back to the horrors of high school.
On Emily Owens, M.D., The CW's newest medical drama, the cliques and general inadequacy that the title character thought she outgrew have come back to haunt her in her professional life. Once at the top of the hill in her graduate program, Emily is now at the bottom of the totem pole, a lowly intern that...

After it was first reported Gary Ross wasn't likely to return to direct Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, a conflicting report surfaced, which led most to believe negotiations with the co-writer/director had reached a point where both sides of the table were playing things out in the press. Well, that game is over as Lionsgate released an official statement from Ross confirming he won't be back. "I simply don't have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule," Ross said in his statement before going into the standard niceties. Curiously enough, this seems to mildly contradict Deadline's report which seemed to indicate the screenplay had been coming along nicely after Ross and "Hunger Games" author and co-screenwriter Suzanne Collins began working on Catching Fire back in November, before bringing in...

Three brothers go on an unpredictable road trip to replace their dying dad's watch.
As full-length directorial debuts go, My Brothers - from Somers Town scribe Paul Fraser and first-time screenplay writer William Collins - is a charmer. I first caught it at Tribeca 2010 and was surprised when it took more than a year to make its way to Edinburgh Festival.

The Festival will kick off with the world premiere of DreamWorks' 3D "Shrek Forever After."

Alex Gibney's latest documentary, a portrait of former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer, who resigned his post in 2008 because of a sex scandal, will be spotlighted at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, which runs from April 21 to May 2 in New York.
The currently untitled film from the director of the Oscar-winning "Taxi to the Dark Side," will screen as a work-in-progress as one of three special events that festival organizers unveiled today.
"I think people will be really surprised," said David Kwok, the festival's director of programming. "It doesn't just focus on the scandal. It's more comprehensive than that, looking at Eliot Spitzer as a person and at his entire career."
