Trailer Alert: True Grit (Teaser)

The first teaser trailer for the Coen Brothers’ True Grit has been released. You can watch it over at Apple.

To me, this is how you make a trailer. It’s the perfect tease. It sets up the story, introduces all of the main characters, and gives us some striking images. I also love the accompanying music.

The only actor who we get to see much of is leading lady Hailee Steinfeld, who looks like she has more than enough spunk for the role. The glimpses of Jeff Bridges and Josh Brolin (who apparently must always be disfigured on camera now) look promising, but I have to say that Matt Damon seems slightly out of place in the Coens’ world (side note: I was also momentarily thrown off by his tag as “Academy Award Winner Matt Damon”).

Visually, it looks amazing, and very No Country For Old Men-esque. 2007 was an amazing year for Westerns (No Country for Old Men, 3:10 to Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James, and There Will Be Blood, if you could call it that), so it’s great to see the trend continuing. Love the trailer, way more excited for the movie now.

10 Up-and-Coming Actors To Watch

You’ve seen them in your favourite recent movies – you just might not know it. They’ve shared the screen with actors such as Meryl Streep, Bruce Willis, and Pierce Brosnan. They’ve played such memorable roles as “Teenager #1″ and “Boy on Bike”. They are the next wave of up-and-coming actors.

Everyone likes to predict which young performers will hit it big, and these ten actors, while hardly household names, have proven that they have charisma and talent, even in the smallest of roles. If you hurry, you can still claim that you liked them before they hit it big.

And if you’d like to see more lists of up-and-coming actors, check out the archive!

1. Reece Thompson

Age: 21

Why he’s on the list: Because he’s already proven that he’s a leading man. After a slew of bit parts in TV shows and straight-to-DVD movies, Thompson got his first big starring role with 2007′s fabulous but underseen Rocket Science. Playing a stuttering debate team hopeful, Thompson grasped the off-beat humour of the film perfectly and also added some genuine emotional heft. The same year, he took the lead in The Assassination of a High School President, and Thompson’s modern riff on the hard-boiled detective genre was a blast.

Where you’ll see him: In two different indies screening at TIFF. Daydream Nation is a “provocative yet humorous romance” starring Kat Dennings, and Thompson will play the younger of her two love interests. As well, he’ll play a friend to Michael Angarano in Max Winkler’s comedy
Ceremony, which also stars Uma Thurman.

2. Zoe Kazan

Age: 26

Why she’s on the list: Because she knows how to pick a role. Even her earliest credits include films like Fracture and Revolutionary Road. Kazan (who, yes, is the granddaughter of Elia Kazan) has since gotten larger roles, and audiences are most likely to recognize her as Meryl Streep’s younger daughter in It’s Complicated, or alongside Zac Efron in Me and Orson Welles. But the critical acclaim came with a little-seen film from last year called The Exploding Girl, which stars Kazan as a college student suffering from epilepsy.

Where you’ll see her: Her biggest upcoming film, Meek’s Cut-Off, is a period-piece western premiering at TIFF. The film is directed by Kelly Reichardt (Wendy and Lucy), and it stars Paul Dano, Bruce Greenwood, and Michelle Williams. She’ll also take a supporting role in Happythankyoumoreplease, the directorial debut of actor Josh Radnor (How I Met Your Mother)

3. Mark Rendall

Age: 21

Why he’s on the list: Because he’s a magnetic, quirky presence. Before he got cast in larger parts, he (like most Canadian actors, it seems) paid his dues on various homegrown children’s shows and made-for-TV movies. After voicing everyone’s favourite aardvark, Arthur, and a starring role in the Canadian film Childstar, he began to land supporting roles in some larger Hollywood films. In 2007′s Charlie Bartlett, he stole the show as Kip, a sensitive, depressed teen. He’s also appeared in Silk, 30 Days of Night, My One and Only, and earned praise for his work  in The Exploding Girl

Where you’ll see him: He actually doesn’t have any upcoming projects currently listed on IMDB, aside from a short film called Up & Down.

4. Olivia Thirlby

Age: 23

Why she’s on the list: Because she’s just plain awesome. She’s best known as Juno‘s shrewd best friend, but her first role was in Paul Greengrass’ acclaimed drama, United 93. Since then she’s appeared in a slew of smart indies, including Snow Angels (a Times Like Those favourite), The Wackness, Uncertainty, Breaking Upwards, and Solitary Man.

Where you’ll see her: In Kenneth Lonnergan’s follow-up to You Can Count on Me, Margaret, whose cast includes Anna Paquin, Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo, Kieran Culkin, and Matthew Broderick. Thirlby will also take supporting roles in the Ivan Reitman-directed No Strings, The Darkest Hour (an alien thing with Emile Hirsch), and Dredd (another sci-fi thing, written by Alex Garland [28 Days Later, Never Let Me Go]). As well, she’ll finally get to try her hand in leading roles in M and The No Game.

5. Johnny Simmons

Age: 23

Why he’s on the list: Because he’s on the rise. With only a handful of feature credits to his name, Simmons has quickly transitioned from films like Evan Almighty and Hotel for Dogs to a trio of showier roles. He was terrorized by Megan Fox in Jennifer’s Body and charmed as Michael Cera’s bandmate “Young Neil” in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. But for me, the performance that showed the most promise was a supporting role in The Greatest. He played a likeable but very flawed teenager struggling to come to terms with the death of his older brother, and Simmons deftly handled a complicated range of emotions.

Where you’ll see him: He’ll play the son of Robin Wright’s rabble-rouser in The Conspirator. The Robert Redford-helmed film is already earning fairly strong reviews at TIFF, and it could be a chance for Simmons to reach a wider audience.

6. Zoe Kravitz

Age: 21

Why she’s on the list: Because she’s an intriguing on-screen presence. As the daughter of Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonnet, she’s already got star power behind her name, and Kravitz is starting to prove that she’s got the talent to back it up. She hasn’t wasted any time courting high-profile projects, getting her start with a small role in 2007′s No Reservations. She’s also appeared in The Brave One, and stole her scenes (despite her shakily written character) in The Greatest.

Where you’ll see her: The sultry actress will appear in one of this fall’s more buzzed-about indies, It’s Kind of a Funny Story (directed by Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden). She’s also got a couple of potential blockbusters on the horizon with supporting roles in X-Men: First Class and Mad Max: Fury Road.

7. Hunter Parrish

Age: 23

Why he’s on the list: Because he’s got the makings of a full-blown teen heartthrob (he’s already built a bit of a following thanks to his work on “Weeds”) early roles were fairly minor, but 2009 offered a couple of larger big-screen projects. First, he was almost unrecognizable as Zac Efron’s scuzzy nemesis in the surprisingly enjoyable 17 Again. And though he was given very little to do as Meryl Streep’s son in It’s Complicated, his sheer charisma (and blindingly white teeth) made him memorable.

Where you’ll see him: I believe that he’s still on “Weeds”, but aside from that, he doesn’t have any other projects listed on IMDB right now, oddly enough.

8. T.J. Miller

Age: 29

Why he’s on the list: Because he has the everyman humour of Jason Segel or Seth Rogan. Despite being one of the older names on the list (and working as a stand-up comedian for years), Miller made his film debut only two years ago in the much-discussed Cloverfield (if he doesn’t look familiar, it’s because he played Hud, the man holding the camera, and served as more of a narrator than a visual presence). He’s had small roles in Extract (as Jason Bateman’s metalhead co-worker) and How to Train Your Dragon. But his most prominent role to date was in this year’s woefully underrated She’s Out of My League, where he stole the show as “Stainer”.

Where you’ll see him: Miller seems to be everywhere this year, and he’s still got two more appearances to go by the end of 2010. He’ll appear in, um, Yogi Bear (alongside Dan Ackroyd, Justin Timberlake, and Anna Faris) and Gulliver’s Travels (which co-stars Jack Black and Jason Segel).

9. Lily Collins

Age: 21

Why she’s on the list: Because she could be the next big starlet. Aside from an appearance on 90210, Collins’ only film acting gig to date is as Sandra Bullock’s daughter in The Blindside, where she turned in a very respectable performance. She’s also done stage acting, modeling and writing, and happens to be the daughter of Phil Collins. Apparently others are taking note…

Where you’ll see her: She has a role in next year’s sci-fi thriller, Priest, alongside Paul Bettany and Christopher Plummer. She’ll also co-star in Abduction with Taylor Lautner (before you write it off completely, the supporting cast includes Alfred Molina, Jason Isaacs, Maria Bello, and Sigourney Weaver). And finally, she’s slated to take the lead in yet another film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.

10. Caleb Landry Jones

Age: 20

Why he’s on the list: Because he has star potential. His first role was as “Boy On Bike” in No Country for Old Men. Despite only appearing on screen for a mere couple of minutes near the end of the film, he somewhat stole the scene from Javier Bardem (and if you’ve seen the movie, you know that it was a fairly memorable scene on its own). He’s since appeared in the “Friday Night Lights” TV show and Fred Durst’s The Longshots. This year, he found himself in a supporting role in the box office quasi-hit, The Last Exorcism.

Where You’ll See Him: He has a role in The Social Network, but considering he’s billed as “Fraternity Guy”, one would expect it to be a fairly minor one. More notably, he was recently cast as Banshee in X-Men: First Class. Previous instalments in the franchise have served as a launching pad for Ellen Page, Ben Foster, and James Marsden.

Interweb Must-Watch: Everything Chris Klein Says in “The Legend of Chun Li”

Chris Klein is an actor that I will probably always inexplicably defend. I don’t know what it is about the guy, but I find him to be a weirdly appealing on-screen presence.

I legitimately enjoyed his performances in Election and The United States of Leland (especially the latter, where he gave a surprisingly effective dramatic turn). Yes, his filmography has more than its fair share of stinkers, especially recently, but I’ve always kind of been pulling for him to make a comeback.

His recent DUI arrest and admission to rehab has obviously slowed him down, but things seemed to be looking up (in a bizarre way) with the viral leak of his supposedly legit Mama Mia! audition tape (which had the car-wreck watchability of a particularly uncomfortable American Idol audition). He followed this up nicely with self-parody video, Chris Klein: More Leaked Auditions.

Now, someone has geniusly compiled every cringe-inducing line of dialogue that Klein delivered in 2009′s infamously panned Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun
Li into one video. If you’ve been curious about the film but unwilling to sit through the whole thing (like me), this video allows you to experience every line of dialogue that Klein utters in under two minutes.

I think that this is one of the few performances that doesn’t need context to be appreciated.

I have to give Klein credit, though. He seems to be more than embracing the campiness of the script (or, at least, I’m assuming that he’s in on the joke. If this is an earnest performance, then that’s another story…)

You can watch the video here, and I recommend that you do. It’s glorious. My favourite moments are anything that involves him saying “Shadaloo”.

Oscar Predictions 2011: Best Supporting Actress

Last Updated: January 24, 2011

This category started lacklustre, finally took some shape, and now seems to be falling apart again. Leo is the frontrunner, but she strangely missed out on a BAFTA nomination. Steinfeld (if she gets voted in as Supporting) pose legitimate threats in the category, and I wouldn’t count out Weaver, either. I still can’t settle on which five will be nominated. Part of me wants to predict Hollywood darling Kunis over Weaver, but I also don’t want to underestimate the power of a slow-building, never waning awards season buzz, which Weaver has. But if Steinfeld goes Lead, or Carter misses out (which isn’t impossible), maybe both will get in. And even Barbara Hershey is getting some buzz (and a BAFTA nod). At least it keeps things interesting.

Red = virtually guaranteed a nomination

Orange = good chance of nomination

Yellow = a strong contender

Green = in the mix

Blue = longshot

Oscar Predictions Home | Best Picture | Best Actor | Best Actress | Best Supporting Actor

1. Melissa Leo (The Fighter)	There is no longer a question of a nomination, with Leo winning the Golden Globe, the Critics Choice award, and being recognized by nearly every critics group. She’s a respected veteran actress, and while her win is likely, it is by no means assured (see: Leo’s BAFTA snub).
2. Amy Adams (The Fighter)	The Fighter is a hit, and Adams is the kind of young but established starlet that the awards groups love. Leo has been dominating the awards, and vote splitting between the two Fighter ladies could potentially leave Adams out in the cold, but I am pretty sure that she’ll get a nom.
3. Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech)	The King’s Speech is the epitome of Oscar bait, and its three performances have garnered lots of awards attention. However, Carter’s buzz seems to be waning, and some are calling her role in the film unsubstantial.
4. Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit)	Steinfeld is getting lots of praise (the critics groups seem especially enamoured), but category confusion may hinder her chances. Many are claiming that to place her as Supporting would be “category fraud”, yet I don’t think there would be room for her in the substantially more competitive Lead category. Fair or not, her best chances are here.
5. Mila Kunis (Black Swan)	She’s quickly becoming a serious contender, scoring Golden Globe, SAG, and Critics Choice nominations. However, her buzz started late, and she may split some votes with co-star Barbara Hershey (who scored a BAFTA nom over Kunis)
6. Jacki Weaver (Animal Kingdom)	Weaver surprised when she won Best Supporting Actress from the National Board of Review, and many critics groups have recognized her. It might be too small of a movie with too obscure of an actress for the Academy, though.

Longshots

Since When…

…has Sufjan Stevens been this gorgeous?

Since always? Oh, alright, then. Just wondering.

He looks like some mythical hybrid between Clive Owen and John Krasinski. And that is a very, very good thing.

ANYWAYS.

Musically, I’ve always been a bit ambivalent about Sufjan Stevens. “Chicago” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard, but sometimes I find his music a bit too pretentious or overdone. And the constant presence of music journalists sucking his dick (figuratively speaking, of course) doesn’t help any, either.

But I have to say, I’m a big fan of his new All Delighted People EP on first listen (you can stream it for free here, or download it on iTunes for a mere $5). It’s more of a proper album than an EP, considering half of its eight tracks over six minutes long (with the final one clocking in at a whopping seventeen minutes), but it has some really gorgeous songs. I love the opening track, “All Delighted People (Original Version)”, which swells just enough times to keep it exciting but still restrained. Stevens’ voice has never been the problem for me, and he sounds just as lovely as ever.

After this, I’m considerably more excited for his first non-Christman LP in 5 years, The Age of Adz, which comes out October 12. If you are so inclined, you can pre-order it here. In the meantime, here is another completely unnecessary batch of pictures. Please comment on the composition or lighting of these photos or something to make me feel less shallow.

Oscar Predictions 2011: Best Supporting Actor

Last Updated: January 24, 2010

I feel like the Best Supporting Actor race has been re-shaped a bit by the Golden Globe and SAG nominations. They reinforced that Bale and Rush are the only two safe names, but unexpectedly (to me, at least), Jeremy Renner was the only other name that appeared on both lists. Garfield (previously considered the third most secure name in the category) missed out on the SAG, while Ruffalo was snubbed at the Globes. Then there’s John Hawkes, who is gaining momentum, while neither of the True Grit men are making much of a splash.

Red = virtually guaranteed a nomination

Orange = good chance of nomination

Yellow = a strong contender

Green = in the mix

Blue = longshot

Oscar Predictions Home | Best Picture | Best Actor | Best Actress | Best Supporting Actress

 

1. Christian Bale (The Fighter)	Bale has turned in a slew of punishing performances over the years with no previous Oscar recognition. He’s swept the early precursors and is poised to win the whole thing.
2. Geoffrey Rush (The King’s Speech)	The King’s Speech is a heavy hitter this awards season, and Rush has received nominations from all of the major awards groups so far.
3. Mark Ruffalo (The Kids Are All Right)	Ruffalo has turned in consistently strong performances for years with barely any recognition, and now could be his time. However, the film is losing a bit of steam, and Ruffalo’s presence this awards season has been spotty.
4. Andrew Garfield (The Social Network)	Audiences and critics are going nuts for The Social Network. Garfield’s sympathetic performance combined with the huge year he’s had (he’s the new Spiderman!) could get him some attention. But it’s not a typical “Oscar” role, and he missed out on a SAG nomination. Possible vote-splitting with co-stars.
5. Jeremy Renner (The Town)	I doubted his chances for a long time, but the praise from The Town‘s initial release seems to be sticking. He got a Globe and SAG nomination. He’s starting to gain legitimate buzz, but The Town hasn’t been a huge player this awards season. Too little too late?
6. John Hawkes (Winter’s Bone)	He’s slowly earning buzz, and landed a SAG nomination. Lawrence’s recognition may bring more eyes to the film. But how much Oscar love can this small of a movie receive?

Oscar Predictions 2011: Best Actress

Last Updated: January 21, 2011

Four of the five Best Actress slots more or less locked up (but don’t be too surprised in Lawrence or Kidman miss out), and the fifth seems to be up for grabs. Williams and Manville are the two most likely candidates, but Julianne Moore and Hilary Swank are bigger names that have garnered some buzz. And there’s even Noomi Rapace as an extreme longshot – the critics groups went crazy for her.

Red = virtually guaranteed a nomination

Orange = good chance of nomination

Yellow = a strong contender

Green = in the mix

Blue = longshot

Oscar Predictions Home | Best Picture | Best Actor | Best Supporting Actor | Best Supporting Actress

1. Natalie Portman (Black Swan)	Being the frontrunner to win, there is no way that Portman isn’t getting nominated. She the big thing in Hollywood right now, her film is surprisingly successful, and her punishing performance is the kind of role that Oscar loves to recognize.
2. Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right)	Always the bridesmaid but never the bride. Once considered the category’s frontrunner, it looks like Bening may have to settle for second best behind a younger lady once again.
3. Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone)	Winter’s Bone is maintaining buzz very well, and Lawrence is a critical favourite. Some may say that her youth and inexperience may be a slight setback, but Carey Mulligan, Gabourey Sidibe, and Ellen Page would probably say otherwise.
4. Nicole Kidman (Rabbit Hole)	Kidman’s performance is getting great reviews, and her film has been well-received – by those who’ve actually seen it. It’s box office is underwhelming, and Kidman is its only awards prospect. However, I think her name and positive feedback will be enough to get her a nomination.
5. Michelle Williams (Blue Valentine)	It’s a tough fight for the fifth spot. And while her film is getting stellar reviews – as is both she and her co-star – does it have the momentum for Oscar recognition? The Golden Globe nom and NC-17 controversy will help, but I’m not positive that it will be enough.
6. Leslie Manville (Another Year)	It’s a small film, and Manville isn’t a household name, but those who like the performance really seem to love it. Category confusion could get her a spot in the Supporting Actress race, instead, though.
7. Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right)	Moore has four nominations but no wins, and some felt that she was snubbed last year for A Single Man. Her buzz seems to be on the rise. However, Bening is getting the bulk of the award attention, and it’s rare for a movie to have a double Best Actress nomination (Thelma and Louise was the last one to do it).
