GOOD CH-CH-CH-CHANCES
Angelina Jolie, star of “Changeling,” attends the film’s Cannes premiere with Brad Pitt.

May 23, 2008 — CLINT Eastwood and Steven Soderbergh have premiered their ambitious new films at the Cannes Film Festival, where “No Country for Old Men” and “The Diving Bell and the Butterfly” began their long march to the Oscars a year ago.

Overall, the buzz is much better for Eastwood’s fact-based period drama “Changeling” - starring Angelina Jolie - than for Soderbergh’s “Che,” a 41/2-hour epic about revolutionary Che Guevara that severely divided critics, one of whom compared it with the legendary flop “Heaven’s Gate.”

The consensus is that Jolie - who deserved but didn’t get an Oscar nomination this year for “A Mighty Heart” - knocks it out of the park in “Changeling,” as a woman in 1928 Los Angeles whose son mysteriously disappears.

Several months later, the police claim to have found the son - and when she says it isn’t him, she ends up in a mental institution. John Malkovich plays a crusading radio evangelist who accuses the LAPD of covering up their failure to find a serial killer

“Changeling” (known as “L’echange” or “The Exchange” in France), which will be released in the US in November, has drawn some comparisons with “Mystic River,” nominated for a Best Picture Oscar after debuting at the 2003 Cannes festival. Sean Penn, who won a Best Actor Oscar for the movie, is the head of the jury for this year’s competition at Cannes for the Palme d’Or.

The other leading American contender in the competition - the winner will be announced tomorrow - is Soderbergh’s “Che,” starring Benicio Del Toro, which supposedly will be released as two separate features in the United States.

But first it has to land a stateside distributor, a process that may be delayed by very mixed notices. Some virtually demanded that Soderbergh - who rushed to complete the film in time for Cannes - re-edit it into a single feature of more conventional length or sell it to HBO as a miniseries.

While there were a few raves calling it another “Lawrence of Arabia,” others were quick to label the Spanish-language “Che” (whose $60 million budget came from Europe) as one of Soderbergh’s artsy, emotionally distanced experiments like the flops “Solaris” and “Full Frontal.”

Even some of those who praised Del Toro - he won an Oscar for Soderbergh’s “Traffic” - questioned Soderbergh’s decision to omit Guevara’s role in Cuba’s mass executions and the persecution of homosexuals in partnership with Fidel Castro.

The director was defensive at a press conference that followed the marathon screening, at which sandwiches with Che’s picture on them were handed out during a 15-minute intermission.

“I’ve read the anti-Che literature out there,” he said. “I get the arguments. I feel there’s no amount of barbarity I could put on the screen that would satisfy them.”

Soderbergh continued: “I find it hilarious that people say that movies are too conventional and when [something comes out] that isn’t conventional they seem annoyed.”

hi dina #1, i love shiloh :)

Passing Though
LOL. When have photos ever been considered proof? For most of last year the tabs could have had photos of a nekkid Angie sitting on Brad’s face and the tabs would claim they were fighting so much that she was trying to kill him by smothering him!
****************************************************************************

Cannes Film Festival
Weak U.S. Market Reflected at Cannes
Few U.S. Acquisitions as the Annual Film Festival Comes to a Close;
Hollywood looks to 3-D
By ANTHONY KAUFMAN
Special to THE WALL STREET JOURNAL

This year’s Cannes Film Festival saw more than its usual share of rainy and overcast days. But perhaps it was just a reflection of the general mood of the U.S. film market: In recent months, lackluster box-office numbers, stagnant DVD sales and the closing of labels such as Picturehouse and Warner Independent Pictures have drawn clouds over Hollywood’s once-blue skies.

Cannes’s three big films available for U.S. buyers — James Gray’s “Two Lovers” (starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Joaquin Phoenix), Steven Soderbergh’s four-hour epic, “Che,” and Charlie Kaufman’s “Synecdoche, New York” — all received mixed reactions from distributors; none had secured a buyer as of press time. No major American studios, such as Fox Searchlight or Disney’s Miramax, had sealed any deals. And unfinished films such as Richard Linkater’s “Me and Orson Welles” and “The Burning Plain” (starring Charlize Theron), which were slated as major potential buys, also failed to secure U.S. acquisitions.

“These films aren’t selling immediately partly because they’re challenging, and partly because they perhaps cost too much, but also because the economic model of theatrical releasing is at a terrible juncture because of rising costs and dipping revenues,” said Howard Cohen, co-president of U.S. distributor Roadside Attractions. “That’s a tough combo of factors.”

The only significant activity among U.S. companies came from IFC Entertainment, whose half-dozen film purchases will be released via a combination of video-on-demand and theatrical release.

• Hollywood Meets Bollywood
• Buyers and Sellers Try to Adapt To Changing Movie MarketSony Pictures Classics co-president Tom Bernard, who has been a fixture at Cannes for decades, said he and other distributors are just being cautious this year. “There are some good films in the market,” said Mr. Bernard, who admitted that Sony Pictures Classics has interest in acquiring “Tyson,” a documentary about boxer Mike Tyson. “I think the smart buyers are waiting for the last minute to make lower offers than the asking prices.”

While U.S. sales were bleak, Cannes, which runs through May 25, surely saw some sunshine in the international marketplace. Sellers said the weakened dollar allowed for more foreign companies to take risks on U.S. titles.

“U.S. acquisitions were virtually non-existent, but internationally, we felt it was the opposite,” said Steve Bickel, president of Film Department International, noting a particularly active market from South Korea. “They realized the exchange rate was favorable to them. We did business in virtually every country.”

Are you out of your crack smoking mind?!!

Seriously, the female sex is truly in dire straits if every man whom we ever dated/fcuked/made out with decades ago is required to tell us that he’s having babies with someone else.

Grow the fcuk up!!!

Thanks for the CCOBB trailer. I am looking forward to seeing the movie. Best wishes to AJ on a healthy and happy delivery. I think the troll(s) is having too much fun and attention on the Jolie-Pitts thread. However, I find it funny how they go from one celebrity thread to another(remotely related to the Jolie-Pitts) and hate on Mama Angie. AJ rules the troll every thought and movement. I just hope it is not “love challenged” and spurned Queen Jen. Peace to all.

Wow! New Russian Wanted trailer. Very intense. Credit sugar OR spice at JJB.
