Rizzle Kicks: "Shame's Star Michael Fassbender Wants Us To Be His DJ":
Rizzle Kicks have revealed that Shame star Michael Fassbender has asked them to DJ at one of his parties.
The Hollywood actor approached the 'Traveller's Chant' duo after seeing them DJ at a recent event in London.
Rizzle Kicks' Harley Alexander-Sule told the Sun: "He came up afterwards to tell us that he really loved our set.
"We didn't clock who he was until later. He was a really nice guy and he gave us his email address and said he'd really love us to DJ at one of his parties.
"He told us he's bad with emails but we haven't actually dropped him a line yet as he's obviously very busy."

OMG - Annabel and fandora - Am totally amazed by the amount of money that is being generated by romance or female orientated literature. Its huge and growing, yet people in the film/book industries act so surprised and thenthere are articles but they never go into enough depth. It must show that women are not being served in terms of their experiences and, er, 'desires'...
Now that I know about fanfiction, I saw 'Fifty etc' which nb one novel (!) on amazon and the nytimes booklist - that is super interesting. And also now that I saw what you write about that must be really good for you Annabel...all those Atlanta people will be rushing off to see Shame because they read New-Mormonporn at the Oprah bookclubs...:laugh:

From what I understand, romance has always been 55% or so of total book sales, but it's still a guilty secret for most women. I think it's true that there's a huge untapped audience for schmaltzy smutty entertainment for women. If Twilight and Shades of Grey doesn't wake up Hollywood...? Women are clearly rabid for this stuff.

I will say I am a z-list small-niche author (I write BDSM romance, like Fifty Shades of Grey) and I made 70K in royalties last year, even before the Fifty Shades explosion. This is not bad money for sitting around writing maybe two hours a day. I made a lot less as a teacher. :D I can't imagine what the big name romance authors are pulling in. Big money.

This Fifty Shades of Grey author...Jaysus, I am so jealous of her but I do hope people looking for more of the same (well, I think my stuff is better :p) will bring me more sales. And I think we will see a lot more romance stuff getting attention and more lowbrow films catering to women.

So Brad Pitt is still in the mix for The Counselor?

And Fass might shoot a supporting part for Scorsese?

I sort of doubt that second tidbit. When will he have the time? With The Counselor, 12 Years, The Mountain Between Us, and X-Men shooting in the fall/winter, how is it possible?

Sweetie pie looks like he had quite the night there. Having said that, I'd still let him do me six ways to Sunday. Yep.

I'm wondering where he'll be when he does the online q&a. Because if he's in London, there's really no need for people to go to WonderCon if they're going just to see him. I know that people on other boards have mistakenly written that he's rumored to be there when in fact, there have been no rumors. Just questioning/wondering/hoping back when 20th Century announced that some "very special guests" would be there. And now it turns out that the very special guests are Ridley and Damon Lindelof. So... :shrugs:

:smile1: So, that was the secret project he couldn’t disclose before. Knowing his huge love for Scorsese’s work I’ll bet you he signs on for a supporting role ;) This possible project is better than all the rest. Too bad you don’t like wolves Artica :graucho::laugh:
He’s a workalcoholic, isn’t he? :D That’s awesome but slow down a bit buddy…

Martin Scorsese gets back on 'The Wolf Of Wall Street' with Leonardo DiCaprio and Michael Fassbender. Shooting Stars In August.

Well, it looks like Martin Scorsese's passion project "Silence" will have to keep waiting. Another film, which has been in the works for a while, is now on track to shoot later this year.
Deadline reports that Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio will team up for movie number five, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street.’ The project first surfaced in 2007, with Scorsese at the helm and "Boardwalk Empire" and “The Sopranos” scribe Terence Winter penning the script, with DiCaprio in the leading role. But a studio tug-of-war for the project between Warner Bros. and Paramount eventually stalled things, until the fall of 2009 when it was revealed Ridley Scott was circling the director’s chair. Then, about a year ago, it was reported that the project was back in the hands of Scorsese who was eyeing it for this next movie after ‘Hugo Cabret.’ Indeed, the helmer is now moving forward with the film.
Red Granite Pictures picked up the rights last spring, and it's a pretty cracker jack tale. Based on the memoir by Jordan Belfort and his experiences on the job in the '80s and '90s, ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ centers on a drug/sex/alcohol addicted New York stockbroker who refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, the corporate banking world and mob infiltration. So yeah, that undoubtedly resonates in today's current economic climate. It should also be noted that Michael Fassbender told the Hollywood Reporter back in January that he had to been talking to Scorsese about a possible film. Was it ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’? For now, Fassy's calendar is pretty full, making his participation in this project (if that's what it is) a tight squeeze, but we'll see.
Anyway, no distributor is yet on board, but the rights to 'The Wolf' will likely be up for grabs at the Cannes Film Festival in May. The film will shoot in August. No word on what happened with "Silence" but we presume it's on the backburner for now. That picture, a drama centering on 17th century Jesuit priests, is likely much, much harder to finance and maybe scheduling was a concern for proposed stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Benicio Del Toro and Gael Garcia Bernal (though who knows if they are still attached at this point). But as far as runner-up prizes go, we're not complaining.

Don’t worry the movie is still happening ;) I heard from reliable sources that the script is actually not quite finished yet nor the financial aspect of the film. They’re hoping for a release around next year’s Cannes Film Festival (2013) so there’s still time. Filming won’t start as planned initially (May) but months later as both Michael and Steve are very busy men atm.

Solomon Northup gaining new attention:
Fort Edward Historian Paul McCarty hopes Hollywood gets the details right in the latest dramatization of the story of Solomon Northup, a free black man that was kidnapped from the streets of Saratoga Springs and sold into slavery in 1842."Hopefully, this time, he comes back to Glens Falls. That would be nice," McCarty said. A previous movie about Northup filmed about 30 years ago depicted Northup returning to Saratoga Springs, the city where he was captured, after being freed from slavery in Louisiana, McCarty said. Northup actually returned to Glens Falls, where his wife, Ann Hampton Northup, had been living, McCarty said.
Hollywood has the chance to get that detail right in a new movie from Plan B Entertainment Inc., a production company that Brad Pitt partly owns. The movie, to be called ‘Twelve Years a Slave’ the same title as Northup's autobiography, is in the pre-production phase, said Matt Flanders, a spokesman for Plan B Entertainment. It is not yet known exactly when or where the movie will be filmed. Those type of decisions will be made once the movie receives financing, Flanders said. Entertainment websites have reported various actors slated for roles, but no contracts have been signed, he said. Steve McQueen, not the same McQueen as the late, famous actor, and John Ridley wrote the screenplay. McCarty said it's great that a new movie is being made because it will draw attention to a significant figure in regional history. "I think the fact that basically the tri-county area can lay claim to Solomon Northup is pretty significant," he said. Northup and his wife lived from 1829 to 1832 in the home that is now part of the Old Fort House Museum campus on Broadway in Fort Edward. McCarty said one of the fascinating details of Northup's story centers around when Henry B. Northup of Hudson Falls secured legal papers and testimonies proving that Solomon Northup was a free person and should be released from slavery. Henry B. Northup traveled to Washington, D.C. and gained assistance from U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Nelson, who was born in Hebron in 1792. As children, Henry B. Northup and Samuel Nelson lived on farms a few miles apart in Hebron, McCarty said. "Those are the things that interest us as historians. But, you know, they probably won't even be touched upon which is the way of Hollywood," he said.
