Wicker Park Release Date: September 3, 2004 Josh Hartnett keeps flexing his acting muscles for movie audiences by appearing in a variety of roles. He has been very successful in the past and this film should be no exception. This time he takes on the psychological thriller genre in this remake of the 1996 French film L'Appartement, which won Best Foreign film awards from both the British Academy Awards and the British Independent Film Awards. Hartnett plays Matthew, a Chicago investment banker whose true love mysteriously vanishes. Matthew decides to leave the city and start anew. Two years pass and Matthew has moved on with his life (or so he thinks). Back in town, he catches a fleeting glimpse of a woman he believes to be his long-lost love. He begins an obsessive campaign to track down this woman, who must be his former love, and find out what really happened to her. Of course, his actions send him down a dark and dangerous path that could lead to self-destruction. Production started on December 16th, 2002 in Montreal and Chicago on a budget of $30 million and wrapped early in 2003. This was after a couple false starts that were planned for January and October of 2002. It was originally titled Obsessed (for obvious reasons), but was changed to Wicker Park. On a cast note, Josh Hartnett’s role was originally offered to Brendan Fraser and Freddie Prinze, Jr., who both declined.

Helmer strays from DGA
Rodriguez turns in card to co-direct 'Sin City' with Miller Robert Rodriguez is one filmmaker who doesn't see himself as an auteur. In fact, he likes company when directing a movie, even if it means having to resign from the Directors Guild. Days before beginning production on the Dimension drama "Sin City," Rodriguez resigned his DGA membership so that he could co-direct with Frank Miller, a film neophyte who created, wrote and illustrated the three-book graphic novel series on which the movie is based. DGA rules dictate that there be only one director assigned to direct a motion picture at any given time, although the guild occasionally grants a waiver to that policy. On Thursday, a DGA spokesman said, "The guild regrets Mr. Rodriguez's resignation, however, we stand firmly behind the principle of one director-one film." Rodriguez portrayed his ankling as hardly acrimonious; he asserted that since his movie is so unorthodox, he decided it would be easier both for him and the DGA if they're not shackled together when production begins Monday on his soundstages in Austin, Texas, beginning Monday. For one thing, Rodriguez plans to have Quentin Tarantino direct part of the film, along with Miller and him. Tarantino may be billed as a "special guest director" or whatever title Rodriguez wants to bestow, now that he's no longer under strict DGA guidelines about who gets behind-the-camera credit. It's not the first time that Rodriguez has quit the DGA. He did so a decade ago so he could take part in the Tarantino-orchestrated film "Four Rooms," released in 1995. Rodriguez said it would be easier to turn his card in again than test the rigorous DGA rulebook. "I didn't want Frank to be treated as just a writer, because he is the only one who has actually been to 'Sin City,' " Rodriguez said. "I am making such a literal interpretation of his book that I'd have felt weird taking directing credit without him. It was easier for me to quietly resign before shooting because otherwise I'd have been forced to make compromises I was unwilling to make. Or set a precedent that might hurt the guild later on." Rodriguez often agrees with the spirit of DGA policies, but they "make it very hard to do something that is exciting and different, which is exactly how I sold this project from the beginning," he added. Rodriguez, who partly financed "El Mariachi" by volunteering himself for medical experiments, has always been comfortable making films by the seat of his pants, even though he has built studios in Austin grand enough to accommodate both "Sin City" and the pic he'll direct right after, the $100 million Paramount sci-fi blockbuster "A Princess Of Mars." He hardly seemed rattled, for instance, that aside from his DGA defection and welcoming a new baby, he was in the thick of assembling cast for a film that begins shooting in four days. Rodriguez has been talking with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Steve Buscemi, Brittany Murphy, Christopher Walken and Michael Douglas. All that's certain is that Mickey Rourke will anchor the story segment that will begin shooting Monday. The remaining cast will draw from those who are available for a reasonable price to work a short shift in a cool film. None of this would have been possible if Rodriguez hadn't pledged to make Miller a major part of the creative process. Though Miller has done acclaimed graphic novels on Batman and Daredevil and created the Elektra character that will be reprised by Jennifer Garner in the Rob Bowman-directed "Daredevil" spinoff film, the author refused to sell "Sin City" to any filmmaker. Rodriguez wanted it badly enough to write a feature script on spec and shoot the first scene on his own dime with Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton. That and a promise to make Miller his co-director won Rodriguez the property. Rodriguez also said that quitting for the second time was hardly traumatic. He was persuaded to rejoin the DGA before directing"The Faculty" because DGA brass told him he was about the only significant working director who wasn't a member. The helmer also asserted that the DGA needs to do a better job of judging individual cases rather than working from a rulebook. "I'm fine with leaving and they're fine with my leaving," he said. "Someone in my position doesn't need the protection of the guild as much as a newcomer who might get strong-armed by a film company. In my case, the obstacles I face come from the guild. Studios are only too happy when I suggest shooting something in digital, or when I try to do 20 jobs at the same time on my movies. I don't consider this a negative thing, and perhaps it's better that I resign and come back later than have someone use my precedent as an example to strong-arm a directing credit they don't deserve on some future film." Other directors who are not members of the DGA include George Lucas and Tarantino. Date in print: Fri., Mar. 19, 2004, Los Angeles WWW.VARIETY.COM |

i totally agree with you on that remake thing, they usually arn´t half as good as the orginal. However since i´ve not seen that french movie i don´t mind that much. I´m just hoping that it will do although i´m sure it won´t be a big boxoffice draw. But i think the rum diary and sin city will be huge, and Black Dahlia looks promising and crazy in love(mozart and the whale) is directed by the guy that made Elling who was just brilliant so high hopes there. All in all we are in for alot josh in the next 2years [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Stars Love Sin City
March 18, 2004 - The Hollywood Reporter says a slew of stars are poised to join writer-director Robert Rodriguez's big-screen version of Sin City. The Dimension Films adaptation of the Frank Miller graphic novel series has reportedly landed the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Bruce Willis, Elijah Wood, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, Kate Bosworth and Jaime King. Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton have already shot their roles. THR points out, however, that "some of the actors have already signed on for parts in the pic, while others are only in discussions or have just received offers to join the cast." Oscar-winner Benicio Del Toro and Maria Bello are also said to be on the filmmakers' wish list. The trade reminds us that "Sin City will be composed of three intertwining vignettes revolving around a dark set of characters that call the fictional corrupt town home." Filming begins soon in Austin. http://filmforce.ign.com/articles/500/500002p1.html so from that it appears that josh role is a small one but we´ll have to wait and see. |

'Mozart and the Whale' comes to Gonzaga
Spokane chosen as filming location for its low profile and industrial look without big-city feel The sun wasn't the only thing shining on campus Monday -several Hollywood stars descended on various Gonzaga locales to shoot a movie. Teen pin-up Josh Hartnett and a small crew of roughly 20 people set up shop early in the morning behind the Crosby Student Center to film parts of the independent film "Mozart and the Whale," slated for a fall release. Word of the surprise sighting spread quickly among students as many awe-struck girls whipped out cellphones and hurriedly dialed their friends. By noon, the gawkers were out in full force. Hundreds of them milled around the production site, which had moved to the Quad in front of Hughes Hall. Hartnett, 25, clad in a non-descript grey sweatshirt, jeans and aviators, didn't seem distracted by the hordes of female fans, largely keeping to himself. At one point, he cut off an impromptu autograph session, explaining he had to go eat lunch. Meanwhile, adoring fans summoned up everything from camera phones to scrap pieces of paper just to take home a memento. "Mozart" is a romantic comedy involving two young people afflicted with Asperger's Syndrome, a mild form of autism. Ron Bass, the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of such films as "Rain Man," "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "How Stella Got Her Groove Back," penned the script. This is Norwegian director Petter Naess' first English-language film. Previously, he directed "Elling" in 2001, which received an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. Upon hearing of a need for crowd extras, students eagerly jumped at the chance. Since the film is set in autumn, the crew excluded any people wearing sandals, shorts or any other summer garb, leading a few students to dash back to their dorms to don jackets and long pants, despite the hot weather. Junior Calley Ekberg enjoyed her time in the spotlight. "It shook things up a little in my day ... it was just cool to see a famous person," she said. Junior Mike Zavaglia was also an extra. "It was the first time I ever got to be a part of something like that," he said. "It brought a little more excitement to the atmosphere of Gonzaga." The question on many people's minds was "Why film in Spokane?" According to Juan Mas, a line producer with Spokane-based North by Northwest Productions, the director chose the Lilac City for its low profile as well as its industrial look without the huge metropolitan feel of a major city. The crew was particularly drawn to the Riverfront Park area, with its location along the Spokane River and the lush vegetation. Shooting began on March 1 and will continue until April 12. The film will be shot entirely in Spokane, using many landmark areas, including Manito Park, the Davenport Hotel, the Spokane Transit Authority Plaza and various downtown areas. At Gonzaga, scenes were filmed at the Dakota and Desmet intersection (behind the COG) and in the Foley Center. Playing opposite Hartnett is Australian up-and-comer Radha Mitchell, who was also seen on campus Monday. She had a lead role in the 2002 thriller "Phone Booth," and will soon be seen alongside Johnny Depp in "J.M Barrie's Neverland," scheduled to drop in October. Hartnett, a regular fixture on the covers of teen magazines, rose to fame in the late 1990s with a starring role in "Halloween: H20" and later hit it big in 1999's "The Virgin Suicides" and 2000's "Pearl Harbor." Having whetted the palate of Hollywood-starved Spokanites, what are the chances of more movies coming through town? Apparently, good. "[We're] talking to a lot of companies," said Mas. And while they might be low-budget indie flicks, there are "high-profile actors attached to [them] because of their love for independents." He said there are high hopes for a couple more films to shoot in town by the end of the year. http://www.gonzagabulletin.com/news/...ml?mkey=551455 |
