James Mangold Compares The Wolverine to Chinatown and The Outlaw Josey Wales

James Mangold was just as apprehensive as the rest of you when the idea of a Wolverine movie fell into his lap — so much so that he spoke with predecessor Darren Aronofsky, who was originally set to direct, before taking on the project. So what enticed him to take the helm on the Hugh Jackman-starring X-Men spin-off, anyways? And how exactly will it evoke such American classics as Chinatown and Clint Eastwood’s The Outlaw Josey Wales? From The Playlist: “I think part of the reason I’m doing this picture has been because it isn’t to me a conventional superhero movie. It isn’t an origin story, so I’m freed from that burden, and it also isn’t a save-the-world movie, which most of them are. It’s actually a character piece; I actually think it has more in common with The Outlaw Josey Wales and Chinatown, what we’re doing, than the conventional, ‘Will Wolverine and his compatriots save the world from this thermonuclear device’ question.” And further: “…The fact that half of the characters in this movie speak Japanese, this is like a foreign-language superhero movie that’s as much a drama and a detective story and a film noir, with high-octane action as it is anything like a conventional tentpole film.” So, Mangold’s Wolverine is an unconventional foreign language superhero detective noir-actioner character piece, set in Japan, with shades of Chinatown and The Outlaw Josey Wales. Gotcha. Another way to look at it: Wolverine will finally reunite the star and director of Kate & Leopold! Rejoice or lament as you will.

Mel Brooks on His Secret Second Career As a Horror Movie Godfather: Part 1

Horror fans are a passionate and loyal fanbase. They know their movie history and they love to champion new voices who breathe life into the thrilling genre. But many fans might be surprised to know who stands among them spotlighting the nastiest and gnarliest works of terror: a fellow by the name of Mel Brooks. Everyone regards Brooks as a legend of comedy cinema, and deservedly so, but he is also responsible for kick-starting the careers of two of the most unique (and often times creepy) voices in filmmaking: David Lynch and David Cronenberg. With his BrooksFilm production company, the jokester who gave us 'Blazing Saddles' and 'The Producers' has also exposed audiences to the Gothic freakshow melodrama 'The Elephant Man' and the grisly, gross-out classic 'The Fly,' along with a variety of sci-fi and horror-themed movies. And most remarkably, he does it without credit. Moviefone talked with Mel Brooks to discuss the making of 'The Elephant Man' and 'The Fly' -- which just recently celebrated its 25th anniversary. But when Mel Brooks talks, you just sit back and listen; he took us on a hour-long conversation about his movies, his love of horror and the off-beat projects he still intends to make. [Editor's note: For maximum enjoyment, make sure to read Brooks' comments in his unmistakable voice.] Mel Brooks: Okay. So what do you wanna know? Moviefone: We have lots to talk about. What prompted you to develop the Brooksfilm production company? Brooksfilms started with a movie called 'Fatso,' that my late wife Anne Bancroft, wrote and directed. It was just natural for me to support it. I kept my name away from it so that we wouldn't have that Pavlovian issue of saying "Mel Brooks" and expecting a Mel Brooks wacky comedy. So that's where it started. I got this script for 'The Elephant Man' and I loved it. It was dangerous, but we went ahead and it was very difficult to find somebody. Movie executives read it and said, "You're crazy." A lot of people thought it was tongue-in-cheek, and it would be a comedy about this hapless creature. Michael Eisner who was running Paramount at the time with Jeffrey Katzenberg, called me in for a meeting and said "You're serious?" I said "Yeah, I'm a serious person, you know." So Eisner and Paramount came up with some money, and I got some foreign money from EMI. [Producer] Stuart Conrnfeld was wonderful in helping me organize Brooksfilms, especially 'Elephant Man' and 'The Fly.' He took me to the NuArt, a crazy movie house on Santa Monica Boulevard. I didn't wanna see it, but 'Pink Flamingos,' we had to see that 20 times. We saw David Lynch's uh... Was it 'Eraserhead'? Oh yeah, you know it! We saw his crazy black-and-white, brilliant student film. He really understood the concept of how a baby could destroy a human being through a mother and father. I thought it was brilliant, absolutely brilliant. What was your first encounter with David Lynch like? When I met him, I had to meet him at Bob's Big Boy. It was somewhere in the Valley and I walk in: "Hi Mel!" -- he looked like Lindbergh wearing a leather flying jacket. I just kept thinking "this guy is a very artistic and creative Charles Lindbergh." He wanted to build the Elephant Man face and head, and he started to, when I said "I'm not gonna let you do that. I want you to concentrate on writing the screenplay and work on your shots." We worked a long time. The subject matter was just ridiculous, nobody wanted to do it and secondly, they said, "Well who's this guy? David Lynch? What are you crazy?" [Laughs] "You want us to get involved in this movie and you don't even have a director we can trust or even know." So it was very, very difficult but we did it and along came 'The Fly' further down the line. What drew you to this new interpretation of 'The Fly'? There was a guy called George Langelaan, I'll never forget, with two A's. He wrote a short story about a different concept of 'The Fly,' more based on metamorphosis than the really funny "Vincent Price steps into the chamber and half of him becomes a fly." That's what excited Stuart; he loved the idea of metamorphosis. He kept talking about "instead of the normal compliment of sugar that people would put in, it would be bizarre and weird that this character puts 15 sugars in his coffee." I said, "Is that bordering on funny?" and Stuart said "No, no, no." We really worked on a concept and got [screenwriter] Charles Edward Pogue and David Cronenberg himself. When I saw 'The Dead Zone,' I said "who the hell is this guy?" He was remarkable; that was my first exposure to him and I continued to follow his work. Cronenberg and Lynch are two of my favorite filmmakers of all time. A lot of their fans may not realize this, but you are very instrumental in the success of both Lynch and Cronenberg's careers. Well if their name is David I usually hired them. I like Davids. Cronenberg was very much like David Lynch in that he could be very entertaining, and superbly artistic at the same time. He was a pleasure to work with... the only thing was we had to go up to Toronto. I lived in Toronto for awhile shooting up there, and I'm not a big... they don't have a lot of crazy food up in Toronto, but they're nice. How did you go about assembling the talent involved in 'The Fly'? I couldn't sell Fox on Jeff Goldblum. First of all, they thought it's a leading character, and I said, "Yeah, but he's a great character actor, you don't want a leading man." I offered it to a few people when Fox said "you got to get a bit of a star" -- but nobody would do it. When Jeff jumped at it, he understood immediately that this was great stuff. He turns out to be the very best one in the world who could play this part because of his insane, crazy nonstop telegraphic reading. Nobody could think and talk as fast as Jeff Goldblum. Geena Davis hadn't done much. She had done 'Transylvania 65000,' by Rudy De Luca -- he was in a lot of my movies; he played the stainless steel mouth guy in 'High Anxiety.' He recommended her when we were putting 'The Fly' together as being really talented. In the dialogue, there's a line where Geena says, "No, be afraid, be very afraid" and I thought, "What a great line." We used that line in the poster and the advertising, "Be afraid, be very afraid." Stuart and I worked without credit to make sure that it made sense and it was eerie and fascinating, but possible. David's a little like Hitchcock. He knew what he wanted to shoot, he wasn't getting lucky on the set. He had a very good beginning, middle, and end in his head of how to shoot it. I think it was Cronenberg's best movie. He has a very small bit in it actually. He's on camera, he plays a gynecologist. Yeah, he delivers the maggot in the dream sequence. Good for you that you knew that. Chris Walas did the creature effects. Guy doesn't just step into this transference chamber and get the head of a fly. Slowly but surely you see him, his physical stature is amazing as he moves along until it becomes truly horrible. Chris is a brilliant, brilliant make-up guy. He won an Academy Award. And don't forget Howard Shore! We helped kick off his big, big career. David discovered Shore; he did 'Scanners' and 'Videodrome' and Shore was there just trying his wings. He was really moody and brooding and strange. Dissonant and very melodic. Now he's has gone on to be a superstar. Howard was nominated for a Saturn award and I won a Saturn award. With the nerds and geeks and wackos and sci-fi maniacs, they're a great, great group. We had 'Young Frankenstein' touring out here and they gave me a Saturn award and I was very moved. I had won many awards, but this was good because I know how crazy and sharp you guys are, and about what you care about. Come back tomorrow for part two of our interview with Mel Brooks, and hear his thoughts on how to properly kill a zombie, getting 'The Fly' back in theaters and the surprising dream project he still wants to make.

CinemaCon pushed to April

Tentpole pics are the motivation behind the National Assn. of Theater Owners' decision to push back its annual exhibitor confab CinemaCon by nearly a month to April 23-26. According to CinemaCon managing director Mitch Neuhauser, the move was made entirely to give studios more time to finish summer event pics, with hopes that those films will premiere (or screen in part) at the conference. "With so many of the tentpoles driven by special effects, the later we can hold our show, the more likely it'll be that studios can show their product," Neuhauser said. "One month of post-production can make a huge difference." This year's CinemaCon, previously dubbed ShoWest, was held March 28-31. Confab will remain at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The change in ownership and venue (Paris Las Vegas was its previous home) was meant to boost studio participation, as well as to entice smaller exhibs that normally wouldn't attend. Paramount and DreamWorks Animation, Disney, Warner Bros., Lionsgate and Sony all showcased product at the inaugural event. "Without a doubt, the success we achieved in year one exceeded our expectations, and we have our friends in distribution and exhibition to thank," Neuhauser added. "But now it's onto year two, and we need to raise the bar even higher -- which is a challenge we embrace wholeheartedly." CinemaCon hosted more than 5,000 industry professionals at this year's conference. Contact Andrew Stewart at andrew.stewart@variety.com

5 Recommendations for Amazing, 3-D Adaptations of Victorian Books

Remakes frequently suck — however when they’re total stylistic upheavals from the source material, I’m more positive. Can you visit a whacked-out, space-age remake of the classic period piece like Little Dorrit? I'd! Or even better, a few days ago’s absurd, steampunk The 3 Musketeers in 3-D? It puts the “rich” in Richelieu and also the “dumbass” in Dumas. I search it! Ahead, we investigate five other Victorian books worth returning to inside a fulgent 3-D experience. You should get some special glasses, Heathcliff. Shark Evening in Walden Pond Henry David Thoreau authored Walden like a reflection on transcendentalism and self-reliance — but could he depend on themself whenever a motorized titanium shark jumps from Emerson’s beloved waters and intends to chop short his spiritual rediscovery using the gnashing of their three-feet molars? Solitude is slashed having a dorsal fin in Walden Evening 3-D, a horror movie high’s virtually no time for civil disobedience. Recommended casting: Tom Hanks accumulates his solitary instincts from Cast Away with this challenging, gory role because the resilient, but completely maimed Thoreau. Bleak House’s Anime Getting rid of of Secondary Figures More often than not, Dickens’ Bleak Home is handled like a miniseries because of its remarkable length and huge quantity of supporting figures, however in Bleak 3-D, the minor figures are treated as collectible, Pokemon-esque scamps who fly in the screen inside a closing, 3-D animated sequence. Gotta catch ‘em all — if you wish to understand Dickens’ assault around the defects from the British justice system. This may be trained in middle schools. Recommended casting: Judi Dench because the narrator and Bleak House Pokemaster Esther Summerson Vanity Fair in Chocolate Land William Makepiece Thackeray’s satire of British society continues to be restarted several occasions, but never using the fancy bravado worth a novel dedicated to self-obsession and status. Reese Witherspoon performed Becky Sharp, it’s relentless social climber, in 2004, however i’d want to see the superficiality of Vanity Fair’s world recognized inside a frosted, technicolor Chocolate Land. If Unaware can function as colorful update of Jane Austen’s Emma, I’d root for any decadent Vanity Fair sendup that appears just like a Tim Burton-directed Katy Perry video. Cupcake corsets with eye-popping cherry bazooms! That’ll jolt you to definitely prominence, Becky, and in to the arena of titillating 3-D. It’s time we added literary flair for this relentless barrage of game movies coming our way — and icing. Recommended casting: Mia Wasikowska, who absolutely lived on the lush chroma of Alice's adventures in wonderland, must play youthful Becky. A Wuthering Levels rock opera Forget that latest version with James Howson because the first black Heathcliff the torrid melodrama of Emily Bronte’s 1847 masterpiece (that was significantly panned during the time of its release) warrants a rambunctious musical rejiggering. Author/composer Bernard J. Taylor attempted a stage version within the 󈨞s, but we just don’t have sufficient movie musicals with operatically condemned love and Marxist implications. In musical form, Wuthering Levels could make the most of an excellent pop relic: Kate Rose bush’s 󈨊s hit “Wuthering Levels.” She should compose all of the music with this, obviously — and do for Bronte what ABBA did for mistaken paternity in Grecian isles. Recommended casting: I’m awaiting Amanda Seyfried to reclaim her greatness from Mamma Mia!, so she reaches play Trina. Lay all of your love on her behalf, Heathcliff. Home of the Seven Gables and Flying Daggers Nathaniel Hawthorne’s classic story of generational guilt and retribution will get a 3-D witchslap as a fighting techinques upgrade. Although the book’s references to Salem witchcraft and miracle are frequently coded, our latest version will feature blatant knife hurling and traditional Chinese costuming. Two times-Tossed Tales, a lot more like! Recommended casting: Ming Na because the destitute, yet dagger-savvy Hepzibah Pyncheon

Twit Wit: The 5 Best Tweets About Real Steel and Ides of March

comments: 1 || add yours You might’ve realized it by now, but Real Steel is a ridiculous premise for a movie. So ridiculous it worked, in fact. Twitter blew up this weekend with comments about Hugh Jackman’s and the sweet science of robo-jousting, and Ryan Gosling’s effectiveness in The Ides of March. We tally the best five tweets after the jump. 5. Ryan Seacrest has a very strong, near-flirtatious plug for his friend Hugh’s new movie.

The Los Angeles Dodgers will move their radio broadcasts from KABC 790 AM to KLAC 570 beginning next season, as part of a three-year deal with Clear Channel Communications. The move puts the Dodgers on an all-sports station for the first time in years. Before returning to current-events talker KABC in 2008 after an 11-year absence, the Dodgers were on news station KFWB 980 AM from 2003-07. Though their radio future was quietly resolved, the Dodgers' TV fate remains up in the air and integral to the ongoing legal battles over the team's ownership. A four-day federal bankruptcy court hearing set to begin Oct. 31 will explore, among other issues, whether the Dodgers will be allowed to auction off their post-2013 TV rights, despite Fox having exclusive negotiating rights to the Dodgers through November 2012. Fox sued the Dodgers Sept. 27 to stop the proposed early TV rights sale. Contact Jon Weisman at jon.weisman@variety.com
