Nebraska Trailer – Will Forte & Bruce Dern star in the latest from Sideways director Alexander Payne

September 17, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Alexander Payne’s Nebraska has been generating interest at film festivals, and now we get to take out first look at the black and white film. Payne has been trying to make the film for years. Now it’s in the can and set for an Oscar qualifying US run later this year.

The movie follows Bruce Dern as a struggling alcoholic who believes he has won a sweepstakes lottery, so he hops in the car with his underachiever of a son (Will Forte) to claim his prize. ‘Shot in black and white across four states, Nebraska tells the stories of family life in the heartland of America.’

Black and white is going to be a tough sell to mainstream audiences, but Payne’s films are almost always worth a look. [Read more…]

Official Cannes Line-up Revealed, With A Bit Of Gay Interest

April 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Cannes-2013-PosterThe official line-up for the 2013 Cannes Film Festival has been revealed, with an interesting set of movies screening from May 15th to 26th. We already knew the festival would open with Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and that Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring would kick off the Un Certain Regard segment, but now the other movies have been announced.

The main competition includes the Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis, Takashi Miike’s Shield Of Straw, Alexander Payne’s Nebraska, and Nicolas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives.

Interestingly Steven Soberbergh’s very gay Liberace biopic Behind The Candelabra, starring Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, has been chosen. While Soderbergh is a Cannes veteran, having won the Palme d’Or for Sex, Lies & Videotapes, Behind The Candelabra was made to be shown on American TV, rather than getting a cinema release (although it will be coming to cinemas in other parts of the world), which you might have expected to cause Cannes to ignore it.

Movies from Roman Polanksi, James Gray and gay director Francois Ozon are also in competition, while out of competition there’s J.C. Chandor’s All Is Lost, starring Robert Redford, and Blood Ties by Guillaume Canet.

Bob Odenkirk On For Alexander Payne’s Nebraska

September 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Having started out as a writer on Saturday Night Live, Bob Odenkirk is best known for out and out comedy, usually of the rather silly type, but more recently he’s been flexing his muscles in Breaking Bad.

Now he’s teaming up with director Alexander Payne (Sideways, The Descendants) for Nebraska, with Omaha.com reporting that Stacey Keach is also aboard. June Squibb, who played Jack Nicholson’s wife in About Schmidt is in talks to play Dern’s other half in this.

The long-gestating project, which Payne has been working on for years, will follow Bruce Dern as a struggling alcoholic who believes he has won a sweepstakes lottery, so he hops in the car with his underachiever of a son (Will Forte) to claim his prize.

Odenkirk will play Forte’s older brother, while Stacey Keach is set to be an old colleague of Dern’s grumpy central figure. The movie set to start shooting on October 15.
