Above: 1980 Japanese poster for Apocalypse Now. Design by Eiko Ishioka, artwork by Haruo Takino.With Francis Ford Coppola’s long-gestated Megalopolis having premiered yesterday at Cannes, it's a good time to look back at the posters from his 60-year-long career. The only problem is that many posters for his films are either too well known or nothing to write home about. Like Coppola’s career itself, there are peaks and valleys—one of my very first posts for Notebook, almost exactly fifteen years ago, was about the gorgeous design for The Rain People (1969)—but a career retrospective of his posters seems like it might result in less than the sum of its parts. Yet of all his posters there are three rare Japanese designs that have always stood out as utterly extraordinary: two for Apocalypse Now (1979) and one for Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992).I’ve always seen these posters attributed to Eiko Ishioka,...

Actor Lance Kerwin, best known to horror fans for playing Mark Petrie in Tobe Hooper’s Salem’s Lot (1979), has passed away at just 62 years old, Variety reports this afternoon.
“An autopsy to determine the cause of death is being conducted, according to his daughter Savanah,” Variety reports.
Lance Kerwin was born on November 6, 1960 in Newport Beach, California, and he began his career as a prolific child actor in the early-mid 1970s. It was just a few years after his on-screen debut in the TV series “Emergency!” that Kerwin landed the role of young Mark Petrie in Salem’s Lot, the original mini-series adaptation of Stephen King’s classic vampire story.
Lance Kerwin’s other credits throughout the 1970s include “Little House on the Prairie,” Reflections of Murder, “Gunsmoke,” Escape to Witch Mountain, and “Wonder Woman.”
Post-Salem’s Lot, Kerwin appeared in The Boy Who Drank Too Much, A Killer in the Family,...

At the outset of “My Animal,”, an entranced Heather (a tremendous Bobbi Salvör Menuez) sits on her knees in her white nightgown as a television’s gray glow, emanating from the visage of a full moon, envelopes her. The bluish rings under their eyes deepen, blood oozes from her nose, her body contorts, her bones crack, and her tendons twist. Growling, she drags herself across the carpet of her dimmed living room, before springing free, out of her house and through the woods for an immersive reimaging of a werewolf transformation.
And yet, it’s not solely a devoutness to the genre — the thrumming electronic ’80s score, the liquidy gray-scaled images of trees, or the aggressive shaky handheld tracking through the snow-covered forest, that awakens Castel’s film. It’s the “Beauty and the Beast” episode of the Shelly Duvall hosted series “Faerie Tale Theatre,” that Heather was watching on her television,...

The idea that monsters are an allegory for the human condition is just about as old as the ideas of monsters themselves. But we keep coming back to it because the human condition is full of monstrousness. And also movies where people bite each other are nifty.
Fantastical creatures like werewolves hold up a mirror to our own inner natures, revealing uncomfortable truths about our lusts, our shames, our hidden strengths, our hidden weaknesses. And when the makeup department has a decent budget, they look pretty cool, too.
And so it goes that Jacqueline Castel’s debut feature “My Animal” utilizes the werewolf mythology as our entryway for a queer coming-of-age tale. Bobbi Salvör Menuez (“Under My Skin”) stars as Heather, a young woman still living with her parents and two younger, twin brothers in a snowy town in Canada. She spends her days practicing hockey, even though the local...

Lennie Niehaus, who went from Stan Kenton sideman to Clint Eastwood’s movie composer during a nearly 60-year career in music, died Thursday at his daughter’s home in Redlands, Calif. He was 90.
Niehaus’s two dozen films for Eastwood include original scores for the best picture-winning Western “Unforgiven,” the Charlie Parker biopic “Bird” and the popular romantic drama “The Bridges of Madison County.”
The two met in 1953 at California’s Fort Ord, when the two were in the Army during the Korean Conflict. “I used to play jazz jobs at one of the beer clubs on the base, and Clint was tending bar,” Niehaus wrote in an essay about the actor-director for his 1996 American Film Institute Life Achievement Award. “I used to go off post and play in a little jazz club in nearby Santa Cruz on Sunday afternoons, and he would be there.”

Ivan Passer, a leading figure of the Czech new wave who directed films including “Cutter’s Way,” died Thursday of pulmonary complications in Reno, Nevada, an associate of the family confirmed. He was 86.
Passer was a close friend and collaborator of the late Czech filmmaker Milos Forman. Passer met Forman at a boarding school for delinquents or children who had lost their parents during the war (other students included Vaclav Havel and Jerzy Skolimowski). They reunited at film school in Prague, where he began collaborating on Forman’s films including “Loves of a Blonde” and “The Firemen’s Ball.” Passer’s first feature was the 1965 film “Intimate Lighting.”
Passer and Forman escaped Prague in 1969 as Russian tanks were advancing, when they pretended to be visiting Austria for the weekend. Though they lacked exit visas, a border guard who was a fan of Forman’s let them cross to safety, Passer told Variety...

Art heist film The Burnt Orange Heresy features Donald Sutherland catching rye and a Rolling Stone gathering moss.
Mick Jagger is making his movie comeback.
The lead singer of the Rolling Stones hasn't acted since 2001's The Man from Elysian Fields. He turned down the booty from a part in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise but couldn't turn away from an erotic neo-noir art heist thriller. The Burnt Orange Heresy, which also stars Donald Sutherland as a reclusive artist in the Jd Salinger mold, will have its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on September 7, 2019, according to Variety. The film will close out the festival in with an out-of-competition screening in the Sala Grande after the awards ceremony.

Audible and Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video announced in February a deal for the “Saturday Night Live” creator’s company to produce original series for the Amazon-owned audio platform. The first show to come out of the deal is “Heads Will Roll,” a fantasy-comedy created by and starring “Saturday Night Live” mainstay Kate McKinnon and her sister, stand-up comic Emily Lynne. The series debuts on Audible May 2.
Had you and Emily worked together on anything like this before?
We’ve been making videos and stuff together our whole lives. In terms of doing a project as adults, we definitely did a web series for Broadway Video, Lorne Michaels’ company, a few years ago called “Notary Publix,” about notaries. A hard-hitting drama. But this was definitely the first audio show that we have attempted.

Shelley Duvall’s blood-curdling screams of terror in the climax of The Shining are an indelible part of film history, and the leading lady of the 1980 horror classic went on to work in everything from comedies to children’s television shows in the decades that followed.
The actress, now 67, has stepped away from the spotlight in recent years, but that hasn’t diminished the imprint she’s left — those curious wide eyes, that high-pitched voice, her signature slender frame — in films like Popeye and Annie Hall, and in her collaborations with auteur Robert Altman (Nashville, McCabe & Ms. Miller, 3 Women).

Shelley Duvall, the actress best known for her roles in The Shining, has revealed she’s suffering from mental illness.
The 67-year-old describes her life away from the spotlight during a sit-down interview with Dr. Phil McGraw that is scheduled to air on his daytime talk show Friday.
“I’m very sick, I need help,” she tells Dr. Phil.
Duvall, who has been living in Blanco, Texas since retiring from acting, last starred in the 2002 independent film Manna From Heaven.

What Are You Watching? is a weekly space for The A.V Club’s film critics and readers to share their thoughts, observations, and opinions on movies new and old.
This is a cheat, but not too long ago, I had to review the newish French version of Beauty And The Beast, which made me think of a very weird adaptation of the story that Roger Vadim directed for Faerie Tale Theatre, the offbeat children’s series that actress Shelley Duvall created and hosted for Showtime in the 1980s. Vadim was a playboy and failed novelist of White Russian parentage (born Vadim Plemiannikov) who prided himself on having lost his virginity on D-Day, seemed to have known just about everyone, and is now best remembered for directing …And God Created Woman and Barbarella and for marrying or impregnating a succession of beautiful movie stars.

A complicated curiosity about a reclusive actress.
Two of the most intriguing characters in Robert Altman’s Nashville are Tricycle Man and L.A. Joan. When considered together, it’s a wonder Shelley Duvall didn’t wind up becoming the female equivalent of Jeff Goldblum. She should have had a long career playing eccentric but charismatic women, just as he has done (in male roles). But that kind of thing works out better for actors than actresses. So instead, he wound up starring in movies where he fought fictional aliens, and she wound up a recluse gossiped to be living in fear of aliens that are in her body.
It’s been a while since I thought a lot about Duvall, outside of regularly enjoying her in many of Altman’s films, including 3 Women and Popeye, plus Annie Hall, Roxanne, and of course The Shining. I hadn’t seen her in anything new in forever, but...

Marco Zappia, award-winning TV editor of Hee-Haw, All In The Family, Home Improvement and dozens of additional TV series and specials, died December 22 in Ventura, CA. He was 76. Los Angeles-born Zappia went from owning a TV repair shop to an award-winning career in editing that spanned four decades when he joined CBS in 1968 as an engineer in the videotape department, where he helped install the network’s first electronic editing system. His first editing gig on CBS’s variety show Hee Haw nabbed him his first Emmy and also marked the network’s first-ever win for editing. Zappia went on to edit numerous TV specials and series including Maude, The Jeffersons, The Sonny & Cher Show, All in The Family, Archie Bunker’s Place, Roseanne, and Faerie Tale Theatre. His prolific ’90s sitcom credits include My Two Dads, Dinosaurs, Who’s The Boss?, The Torkelsons and spin-off Almost Home, Where I Live,...

Yet another twist on the Brothers Grimm fairytale Snow White will try to put a spell on theater audiences this weekend with Mirror Mirror, a lighthearted comedy-fantasy starring Julia Roberts as the wicked queen, Lily Collins as Snow White and Armie Hammer as the handsome prince. In the movie, Snow White is banned to the forest by Queen Clementianna and is rescued by a band of highway robbers (i.e. the seven dwarfs) as Ms. White bides her time and becomes determined to reclaim her realm from the evil enchantress. Back in 1984, Shelley Duvall's fantastical television series Faerie Tale Theatre did a version of Snow White featuring Vanessa Redgrave as the Queen, Elizabeth McGovern as Snow White and, most memorably, Vincent Price as Magic Mirror. Duvall herself made an appearance...

We already know that the Evil Queen, played by Lana Parrilla, in "Once Upon a Time" has a bad father. But what about her mother? Looks like we're soon to find out as the popular ABC series has cast Barbara Hershey as the Evil Queen's mom. Hershey, the Emmy award-winning actress, is set to appear in one episode this season, and has already agreed to appear in two episodes of Season 2. That is, if ABC picks up the show for a second season, according to Entertainment Weekly. Hershey has a lot of great films and television shows to her credit, but few genre ones. She appeared in an episode of the Roy Thinnes alien drama "The Invasion" in 1968. She also played a maid in a 1983 episode of "Faerie Tale Theatre" called "The Nightingale." Although this might not count as too much of a connection, ...

Frances Bay, the veteran character actress who worked with everyone from Jerry Seinfeld to David Lynch, died on Thursday, Sept. 15, according to the Los Angeles Times. She was 92.
Bay, born in Mannville, Canada on Jan. 23, 1919, started off as a stage actress in Toronto but put her acting career on hold to become a homemaker after her husband's business career took them to the United States. Bay caught the acting bug again in the 1970s and started auditioning for film and television.
Bay went on to become Hollywood's go-to character actress for grandmotherly characters, appearing as Fonzie's Grandma Nussbaum on "Happy Days," Aunt Hortense on "The Dukes of Hazzard," Granny on Faerie Tale Theatre's rendition of "Little Red Riding Hood" and, of course, Grandma in "Happy Gilmore." She also proved herself as a gifted comedian with her turn as Mabel Choate, who clashed with Jerry over the last loaf of marble rye bread on "Seinfeld.

There's a lot of things to think about this morning. I think the biggest thing that is wracking my brain right now is that no one else in this office has ever seen Faerie Tale Theatre. Seriously guys, when I was a kid I dominated my local library's VHS collection. I just remember how freakishly terrofying some of them were- no surprise because now that I do research on it it came from the minds of Francis Ford Coppola and Tim Burton.
Anyway, this is a supercut of the very beginning of Faerie Tale Theatre in which Shelly Duvall introduces herself. Try not to have your brain explode from the video and all the nostalgia knowledge I just dropped on you.

Much of the world became acquainted with Matthew Broderick through his iconic role as Ferris Bueller. Robin Williams was, of course, the alien Mork. And America recognized Jean Stapleton as All In The Family‘s Edith Bunker. But I was a child of the ’80s. I’d been born too late to watch Mork and Edith on primetime TV, and Ferris Bueller was definitely taboo for a preschooler. Instead, I was introduced to Broderick, Williams, Stapleton and a slew of other Hollywood A-Listers through a different outlet: Shelley Duvall’s Faerie Tale Theatre....

I'm also tempted to get Vegas, just because I liked that show and haven't seen it in years. I hate these "Volume" sets though. Just give us the whole season!
