The Greening of Whitney Brown

An Arc Entertainment relieve a perfect Weekend production. Produced by Justin Moore-Lewy, Charlie Mason. Executive producers, Erection dysfunction Fitts, Sue Rathbone. Co-producer, Rachel Harrell. Directed by Peter Odiorne. Script, Gail Gilchriest.With: Sammi Hanratty, Aidan Quinn, Brooke Shields, Kris Kristofferson, Anna Colwell, Charlotte now now K. Matthews, Keith David, Slade Pearce, Natalia D. Dyer, India Scandrick, Odd Job Bob.The cost-effective recession proves a blessing in disguise for just about any spoiled urban tween in"The Greening of Whitney Brown," the storyplot from the girl as well as the equine that loved her. When Whitney's father handles to get rid of his high-needing to pay job inside the city, your family relocates to have an abandoned farm within the u . s . states. Put together by Gail Gilchriest, who modified "My Dog Skip" for the screen, and directed by newcomer Peter Odiorne, this simplistic story of bucolic redemption has handful of pretensions to depth, ambiguity or realism, based on its title cast, sprightly lead together with a helluva equine to draw family auds on its November. 11 bow. Whitney (Sammi Hanratty) reigns within an exclusive Philadelphia school, as evidenced by her landslide election as class leader and her snagging the dreamy new kid around (Slade Pearce) as her promenade date. Her sudden go to the boondocks with no cell-phone reception cuts her taken off her adoring public, except through sporadic pay-phone calls with a double-dealing Closest friend (Charlotte now now K. Matthews). Just like numerous Hollywood kidpics, the city girl finds new meaning having a equine, though here no racing glory is involved, since the equine in mind, Bob, can be a black-and-white-colored Gypsy Vanner and for that reason small, adorable plus much more attuned to humans than Lassie. Bob is certainly up for rural transportation, assorted techniques, approving nudges, disapproving snorts and dramatic, revenge-dealing examines formal occasions. With no pals her own age, Whitney costs nothing to bond more carefully with Mother (Brooke Shields), who calculates being eminently appropriate for the homesteader lifestyle, breathing deeply in the outdoors, happily perambulating inside the attractive fields and whipping up batches of rim preserve to promote with the kerbside to earn money. Father (Aidan Quinn), dealing with childhood demons, proves more recalcitrant: Not until Whitney helps him reconcile along with his crusty estranged father (Kris Kristofferson) can he finally reunite along with his inner-farmboy. Thesping is predictably professional, Kristofferson obtaining a rangy authenticity for the proceedings, his taciturn self-reliance contrasting with Quinn's introverted vulnerability. Hanratty's unquenchable perkiness, though well-built-into her can-do persona, evolves wearisome sometimes. Helmer Odiorne creates a fantastically groomed pastoral setting for Gilchriest's non-stop upbeat script, but does absolutely nothing to advise a context larger than Whitney's limited p.o.v.Camera (color), James L.

Oscar Show Producer Replacements: If Not Brian Grazer, Then Who?

Michael Loccisano/Getty Images The Academy has never missed the late, great Oscar show producer Gil Cates more than it does today, as it seeks a replacement for Brett Ratner, who had been expected to serve in that capacity for February's 84th Academy Awards. Ratner submitted his resignation yesterday after making a series of comments that offended many in the industry, and Eddie Murphy, whom Ratner directed in the film Tower Heist and recruited to serve as the host of this year's Oscars, also withdrew from the show this morning, leaving things in disarray. As THR reported this morning, Academy president Tom Sherak reached out to Brian Grazer, the 60-year-old producer and co-chief of Imagine Entertainment, about the job -- but that communication may have taken place before Murphy withdrew from the show. Grazer, who won the best picture Oscar for A Beautiful Mind (2001), made a lot of sense when Murphy was still on-board: he served as a producer on Tower Heist and was credited by the actor with "saving" the film when it ran into trouble during development. It is less clear, though, if he'd still be needed or amenable now that the circumstances have changed. THR has been surveying the industry for ideas about other candidates whom the Academy might tap if things don't work out with Grazer. Two leading possibilities include... Scott Sanders, the 54-year-old theater producer, who was said to be a finalist for this year's job before the decision was made to go with Ratner. Sanders, who won a Tony for producing the one-woman show Elaine Stritch: At Liberty (2002), comes highly recommended by Academy favorites Quincy Jones, Harvey Weinstein, and Oprah Winfrey, with whom he produced the hit Broadway musical adaptation of The Color Purple, which scored 11 Tony nods. Bill Condon, the 56-year-old writer/director, who won the best adapted screenplay Oscar for Gods & Monsters (1998), was nominated for it again for Chicago (2002), and subsequently directed Murphy in Dreamgirls (2006), for which the actor received the lone Oscar nomination of his career. Moreover, Condon served as the executive producer of the 81st Academy Awards, which was hosted by Hugh Jackman and was one of the best Oscar shows in recent memory. (Laurence Mark was the producer.) Of course, the Academy might always reach out again to past Oscar show producers like Bruce Cohen, Laurence Mark, Joe Roth, and Adam Shankman, who could hit the ground running. Oscars 2012

Why YouTube Was Asked for Another Question in Viacom Appeal (Analysis)

The 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals is presently weighing whether a federal judge wrongfully overlooked Viacom's large copyright breach suit against YouTube. Lately, the parties contended their unique sides, but following a hearing found the final outcome, the three-judge panel had another question for YouTube.our editor recommendsDisney, YouTube to Partner on Original Video SeriesViacom, Google Get Ready For Fight in Appeals Court Over YouTube Copyright Issues Will YouTube's Hollywood Experiment Pay back?Information Corp's IGN, Shine Group Partner for YouTube Gaming Funnel START (Exclusive Q&A) The appeals court wants to know whether and the way the "danger signal understanding provision would apply" under YouTube's interpretation of copyright law. What is the danger signal understanding provision? Digital Millennium Copyright Act discusses conditions through which service companies have "safe harbor" from copyright liability. Virtually everyone confirms when an Internet service provider like YouTube will receive a takedown notice and responds expeditiously to eliminate infringing material, it's safe. But where the parties disagree is at interpretation the sentence inside the statute that talks about liability for ISPs when no takedown notices are sent, where an Internet service provider doesn't have "actual understanding" of infringing material, nevertheless it can invariably be "alert to particulars or problems that infringing activity is apparent.Inch This really is what is known as the danger signal understanding provision. The question the 2nd Circuit keeps asking in several forms: What obligations do ISPs truly have? Now, the idol idol judges have pointedly pressed YouTube for just about any direct reaction to the issue of copyright breach awareness beyond a takedown notice. It's a somewhat tricky question for YouTube because its lawyers have virtually mentioned it's nearly entirely the copyright holder's responsibility to determine an Internet service provider about infringing material. We're saying "nearly entirely" instead of "completely" because YouTube's lawyers can't pretend the danger signal understanding provision wasn't ever written. In hisresponseto the 2nd Circuit, YouTube's lawyer Andrew Schapiro doesn't hypothesize an issue where the danger signal understanding provision is certainly triggered, but he's certainly comfortable talking about if the isn't triggered: Anytime an Internet service provider sees a thing that's under an apparent and particular breach Anytime an Internet service provider sees somethingthat requires analysis This case Does that leave any room for your danger signal understanding provision being truly significant? Who knows, but as Schapiro highlights, other courts (Veoh, MP3Tunes, etc.) now employ this narrow interpretation. Viacom will can produce a rebuttal and supply its logic behind why Congress stood a apparent purpose when writing up this part of the DMCA.

Matias Ponce...Got the Part

Matias Ponce...Got the Part Role: Cupcakes in 'Short Eyes,' a union-nonunion play By Sarah McKinley Oakes November 5, 2011 Matias Ponce Most actors can point to a particular role they'd love to play, or a play they've always dreamed of acting in. For Matias Ponce, that play was "Short Eyes," the 1975 Tony Award winner written by Miguel Piero during his incarceration for armed robbery. "When I was 16, I saw the film 'Piero' about the playwright [Miguel Piero]," Ponce remembers. "It's all about his life and what he went through when he was locked up, and how he started writing his plays. I got really hooked on the playwright and read 'Short Eyes' and realized there was a character I'd love the opportunity to play." Director Julian Acosta feels similarly excited about the play. "It's a kind of a seminal play in theater history," Acosta explains. "It's the first play by a Latino playwright ever to be produced on Broadway, and it's very rarely produced. It's one of those shows that everybody has either heard of or read but not very many people have ever been able to see. It was written in prison; it's a play that's very near and dear to my heart and to a lot of people."Ponce saw the notice for "Short Eyes" in the Aug. 18 issue of Back Stage, and in addition to working on his monologue he reread the play before going to the open call. He was called in to read a second time that day and left feeling good about his chances. But at the second callback, a few days later, Ponce made a mistake he thought might cost him the role. "I did the first scene on book," Ponce recalls. "But I had been trying to get both scenes down word for word, just trying to have it really prepared. So when he asked me to do the second scene, I wanted to be a little cocky, and I put the book down. And then right in the middle I got stuck, which is one of the worst things you can do. [Acosta] told me, 'Pick your book up; take a breath; do it again.' So I did what I was told, and I went at it, and I completed it. And then soon as I got home I put the book back on my shelf and moved on." But what Acosta saw at the callback was an actor who was open to taking adjustment and direction, and the director offered him the part. Ponce, who started acting in commercials as a child in Ohio, moved to L.A. two years ago to pursue acting. Since arriving, he has kept busy, joining the Lonny Chapman Theatre at the Group Rep in the NoHo Arts District and paying his actor dues doing background work, student films, and a reenactment show for the Discovery Channel. He has also kept up with his studies, most recently attending classes at Anthony Meindl's Actor Workshop.Though Ponce enjoys his work with TV and film, his true love is theater. "I'd really like to get my Equity card and do more professional theaterstart getting my feet wet with the big leagues and work with people who have more experience than I do," he says. "I guess 'cause it's my background, and I know L.A.'s big on TV and film, but there are opportunities in L.A. for doing good theater." Acosta thinks Ponce has what it takes. "His willingness, his spirit, and his open heartthat goes a long way," he says.Has Back Stage helped you get cast in the past year? We'd love to tell your story.

New Underworld: Awakening Trailer Online

It's a whole new war...The teaser hit the web back in August, but now the full trailer for Underworld: Awakening has arrived online and can be watched below.This time, the story rockets forward to 12 years after the events of Underworld: Evolution, and finds Selene (Kate Beckinsale, back in the vinyl catsuit) finally escaping from coma-ridden captivity to discover that the world she knew has changed forever.Humanity, you see, has finally cottoned on to the idea that vampires and Lycans exist. Instead of taking one side and wiping out the other, we've somewhat logically decided that both are a terrible threat that must be dealt with. Naturally, that means a big ol' battle between the three races, with Selene and Eve, (India Eisley) the hybrid daughter she's only just met, caught in the middle.Plus there's also a rather nasty Lycan beastie running around, one who is considerably bigger than his cousins...With Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein on directing chores and the likes of Charles Dance, Michael Ealy, Scott Speedman and Stephen Rea also in the cast, Underworld: Awakening will be out on January 20.
