Baz Luhrmann Hurt On Great Gatsby Set

Director vs camera crane. Crane wins.Baz Luhrmann is known for his high-energy cinematic output, a product of his equally peppy directing style. But after getting a head injury for Christmas on the set of his latest, The Great Gatsby, the filmmaker might want to consider watching where he walks in future.According to the Sydney Morning Herald (via The Hollywood Reporter), Luhrmann hurt himself while working on a small chunk of the shoot. "We were on quite a cramped set and he was ducking under the crane," he says. "He struck his head on the weights on the end of the camera crane. He split open his head, and we had to get the doctor," co-producer/music supervisor Anton Monsted apparently told the Herald.With three stitches in place and Luhrmann otherwise fine, the injury delivered a small Christmas present to the cast and crew, with the film shutting down a day early for the holiday break. They'll pick up the remaining shots when the cameras crank once more in January.That group, of course, includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, Isla Fisher, Jason Clarke and Elizabeth Debicki in a new version of F Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. The film is scheduled to arrive a year from now in the US, though there's no set date for the UK yet.

Studio is hoping for a three-day take of $25 million, but yesterday's gross suggests the threequel will land just shy of that target.Paramount bowed "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol" an unprecedented week early only for 425 large-format screens like Imax Stateside to about $4.1 million yesterday. Of that, $1.1 million came from Thursday midnight screenings, a comparable sum to 2006's "Mission: Impossible III" midnight haul, but on 21% as many screens, albeit aided slightly by large screen surcharges.Lastly, in fifth Fox's "The Sitter" grossed another $1.4 million for a domestic cume of $14.8 million.

After Baldwin was kicked off an American Airlines flight last week for refusing to power down his cell phone while playing Words With Friends, the actor issued a sarcastic apology to the airline via an article published in the Huffington Post. STORY: 'Words With Friends' Defends Alec Baldwin After He Was Kicked Off American Airlines Flight So as a response, the captain of the flight-who suspiciously looks a lot like the 30 Rock actor-showed up on Weekend Update with Seth Meyers. With a thick southern drawl, American Airlines' "Captain Steve Rogers" issued an apology to the actor, who he calls "an American treasure." "I am ashamed at the way he was treated," the "pilot" said. "I mean, what harm would it do to let him keep playing his game? Not just any game mind you, but a word game for smart people." Meyers continued to whisper to Baldwin throughout the apology, "Alec, are you sure this is the right way to handle this?" To which Baldwin would break from character and say, "Yeah, keep going." "Okay Alex, this is too much, I don't want to be a part of this anymore," Meyers said, interrupting Captain Rogers as he empathized with Baldwin for slamming the bathroom door of the airplane lavatory. "Seth I'm not Alec," Captain Rogers responded. "But I wish I was-that man's a hero! A smart hero!" Related Topics Alec Baldwin Seth Meyers Saturday Night Live

Motion picture art attack

'Melancholia,' which opened at Cannes, nabbed eight Euro Film award nominations, including two for helmer Lars von Trier.Kirsten Dunst gives Lars von Trier a withering consider the infamous 'Melancholia' presser in Cannes. Dunst continued to win best actress in the fest.The Ecu Film Honours unabashadly holds auteurs, such as the Dardennes' siblings 'Kid having a Bike.'On 12 ,. 3 the curtain rises around the European Film Honours in Berlin, but individuals TV audiences looking to visit a stream of Celebrities coming onstage is going to be disappointed, because this is a evening once the leading gamers from the European arthouse scene obtain moment within the limelight.True, you will see some faces the multiplex crowd will recognize -- Kirsten Dunst, Tilda Swinton and Colin Firth are nominees, along with other thesps who're well-known within their home nations, for example French thesps Cecile p France, Charlotte now Gainsbourg and Jean Dujardin -- however the true stars of the event are usually the auteurs, with Aki Kaurismaki, Susanne Bier and Bela Tarr one of the nominees this season. The live broadcast is going to be obtainable in a lot more than 100 nations on four continents.However the helmer that everybody is going to be keeping the nearest eye about this year -- if he appears -- is going to be Lars von Trier, and for the wrong reasons.Captured at Cannes, von Trier sabotaged his likelihood of winning a significant award by joking he would be a Nazi which he sympathized with Adolf Hitler. He's since apologized, however it was still being an unexpected to discover the 2,600 people from the European Film Academy had given his latest film, "Melancholia," eight nominations -- a lot more than every other film -- including two for von Trier themself, for director and scriptwriter."It had been an unexpected for all of us too," states von Trier's business partner Peter Aalbaek Jensen, who's professional producer on "Melancholia." "You may already know, the film has already established an unusual career. I had been expecting there to become a little of bitterness available."The academy hasn't shied from making questionable options. This past year it granted Roman Polanski awards for director and scriptwriter (distributed to Robert Harris) for "The Ghost Author," that also nabbed the very best film award in addition to three other honors. It was only several weeks after he was free of house arrest in Europe following a failure from the U.S. government bodies to possess him extradited for sentencing on charges he had sex having a 13-year-old girl in 1977.Aalbaek Jensen states the noms reveal that the academy people could separate the film and also the comments produced by von Trier.Not too Aalbaek Jensen needs to distance themself from uncle. He feels the EFA recognition vindicates his belief in von Trier, however problematic that relationship has demonstrated sometimes.The 2 males created their production company, Zentropa, in 1992, and also the past couple of years happen to be as tough every. So the truth that the organization has two films nommed for the best film in the EFAs -- Zentropa also created Bier's foreign-language Oscar-winning film, "Inside a Better World," which in fact had four noms -- proves that it's been a useful journey.Aalbaek Jensen has labored with Bier for nearly as lengthy just like von Trier, and that he states such loyalty is unusual for that film business."It certainly proves it pays to stay together and also to be loyal. I am so proud they have come to date."RELATED LINKS: Nominees reflect robust film business Contact Leo Barraclough at leo.barraclough@variety.com

"Shane and Andrea are in lots of ways cut in the same cloth. He's an alpha male and she's an alpha female. She admires him greatly. He shows her everything she knows as well as in the approaching episodes, he gives her lots of tough love, which she does not appreciate also it will get just a little nasty, but in the finish during the day, it is the best factor on her because she emerges more powerful due to it."

"Within the approaching episodes, he discloses a negative side to various figures, but it is something which he keeps very private and never something which Andrea is ever uncovered to. She only sees the strong virile alpha male Shane, she does not begin to see the negative side. If she did, she wouldn't buddy-buddy track of him."

Once the anonymous Texas lady prosecuted recently, she not just sparked a speculating game about her identity, but additionally a bigger discussion about ageism in Hollywood. "Within the entertainment, youth rules,Inch she authored in her own March. 13 suit, resulting in a round of applause among fellow stars, such as the guilds SAG and AFTRA, which condemned iMDb because of its guidelines and stated the organization were built with a moral obligation to not facilitate discrimination in employment. STORY:Actress Sues IMDb for $a million for Revealing Her Age IMDb isn't backing lower from the debate about values. Not even close to it. In the motion to dismiss filed a week ago and acquired by THR, the organization questions if the judicial system should be employed to help an actress hide her 4 decades old. Based on IMDb: "Truth and justice are philosophical support beams of the Court. The perpetuation of fraud, for an actress's career, is sporadic with one of these principals. Complaintant's make an effort to manipulate the government court system so she will censor iMDb's display of her date of birth and pretend around the world that they isn't 4 decades old is selfish, unlike the general public interest along with a frivolous abuse of the Court's assets."

'Like Crazy' Montage Will Halve You in Half [Moviefone Exclusive]

On Nov. 4, 2002, ESPN debuted 'Around the Horn'; nine years later, 'Horn' is such a zeitgeist-penetrating chat show that not only did MSNBC co-opt its format for '1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,' but Tina Fey parodied it to great effect on '30 Rock.' Current host Tony Reali decided to celebrate 'Around the Horn's' ninth anniversary the only way he knew how: with an homage to the famed Copacabana scene from Martin Scorsese's 'Goodfellas.' "This has been inside me since I started working on television 10 years ago," Reali, who started working on 'Pardon the Interruption' in 2001, told Moviefone over email. "The most perfect scene from the most perfect movie; I had no shot at being happy until I did it. The result was emotional, spiritual and transformative. A necessary evacuation. Like the food poisoning I got from the sushi at the Pittsburgh airport." The Copa scene is famous because it was done in one shot. "The whole idea was that it had to be done in one take, so you didn't feel that it was a series of cuts or that it was a separation between him and the world that he was trying to get into," Scorsese has said. "The camera flowed through them and glided through this world, just all the doors open to him. Everything slipped away. It was like heaven." Cinematographer Michael Ballhaus said they shot the scene eight times; per Reali, the homage was done in three. "Slight hyperbole aside (but only slight), it's the show's 9th anniversary and people needed to see how much fun we have on a daily basis," wrote Reali.

Hollywood Producer Jams Michael Moore for Goldman Sachs Hypocrisy

This story seems within the November. 11 problem from the Hollywood Reporter.our editor recommends'Occupy Wall Street Hollywood': Artists On Scene of ProtestsThe Scene at Occupy Wall StreetMichael Moore, Susan Sarandon Make Looks at Wall Street Protests One of the numerous stuff that bug me concerning the industry by which Sometimes may be the popular of phonies who tell you they are liberal, caring, eco-friendly and untouched by their wealth and fame but actually are simply as self-centered and hooked on their huge, over-air-conditioned areas and planes as individuals at whom they point their fingers. And none is much more phony and finger-pointing than Michael Moore. PHOTOS: 'Occupy Wall Street Hollywood': Artists On Scene of Protests Moore appears to become everywhere recently, speaking concerning the "occupy" movement and fashioning themself its spokesmodel. I saw him on CNBC coming hard and receiving kid-mitts treatment from Carl Quintanilla. On Piers Morgan Tonight, Moore stated, "How could I maintain the 1 %?Inch When Morgan made the statement that Moore is "worth millions," Moore responded with "No, that's not the case.Inch He continued to warrant that comment by saying, "Despite the fact that I actually do well, I don't connect myself with individuals that do well." Although Morgan began off a little confrontational, he, like the majority of other interviewers, backed lower fast. For me, lots of important issues are now being raised through the "occupiers," but overall, this protest could be better offered if individuals speaking on its account were of cleaner hands and fewer hypocritical than Moore, that has suckled mightily in the teat of "individuals that do well." PHOTOS: 10 Artists Dems and Republicans Like to Hate In 2005, the Weinstein Co. setup financing around $500 million to finance production and distribution. An investment vehicle was produced and syndicated with a little firm known as Goldman Sachs. Among the films which was created by TWC using funds from that investment was Moore's documentary Sicko. Given the prosperity of his previous film, Fahrenheit 9/11, that they created using Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Moore could command a good deal for themself. STORY: Occupy Wall Street Protests Pose Unique Risk for Stars Who Become Involved By 2010, TWC had burned with the capital elevated within the Goldman Sachs deal. Traders were instructed to restructure their arrangement, meaning some experienced a devaluation of the investment. Goldman also lost some cash it place in TWC, however it could handle losing simply since it would be a person receiving the federal government's TARP bailout. Some unlucky traders might never get your money back installed into funding TWC. Like other bad opportunities setup by Goldman Sachs yet others throughout this era, many people made out very well, while some, frequently lower around the food chain, experienced. Among individuals who did very well while using TWC funds was Moore. STORY: Michael Moore, Susan Sarandon Make Looks at Wall Street Protests As I don't know without a doubt what Moore received on his movie, given his previous success, it in all probability was into the millions dollars. Sicko, created by TWC but launched in 2007 by Lionsgate, didn't be as good as Fahrenheit, generating $36 million in the box office. But Celebritynetworth.com pegs Moore's internet worth at a lot more than $50 million, and Moore is suing TWC for $2.7 million more in profits from Fahrenheit. (Reviews during the time of the suit stated Moore already had received $19.8 million from TWC for your film alone.) STORY: Occupy Wall Street: Hollywood Is constantly on the Weigh In around the Protests If Moore desires to be viewed as someone outdoors the circle of individuals he's protesting, it is always good if he'd disclose just how much he's made off his TWC-backed movies and why he was prepared to connect themself with financing setup by Goldman Sachs. Further, journalists should begin to show more backbone in testing the veracity of claims produced by individuals who make use of the media to disseminate a holier-than-though message. You will find a lot of reasons our country is within financial trouble, plus some do connect with bad behavior by Wall Street professionals. Calling focus on such bad behavior and issues of earnings inequality is really a positive thing. However the true fault of the items put us in cases like this resides using the government that gave leeway to individuals who led to political campaigns and provided jobs to individuals who went between your various administrations and also the private sector. Getting a hypocrite coming hard about categories of people whoever number he themself ought to be counted reduces the impact and validity from the message.

Sierra Towers: The Secrets of L.A.'s Strange, Sexy Celebrity Condo

The way real estate agent Russ Filice remembers it, one day in the early 2000s, he gave a tour of a Sierra Towers condominium to Eddie Fisher, the former teen idol and singer, and his daughters Tricia Leigh Fisher and Joely Fisher. The late entertainer's brood wanted him to move into the 31-story West Hollywood high-rise, and the visit brought back memories for Fisher, former husband to both Debbie Reynolds and Elizabeth Taylor, then in his 70s. "When we were touring him with his daughters, he said, 'Oh, I used to party here all the time with Yul Brynner, doing cocaine.' And they said, 'We know, Dad, we know,' " Filice recalls. "I thought, 'How interesting.' If these walls could talk."our editor recommendsHollywood's Biggest Real Estate Deals of the Week: Matthew Perry, Val Kilmer, Donald Trump (Photos) Indeed, Sierra Towers -- long the choice of Hollywood stars, rock 'n' roll gods and showbiz moguls alike -- is brimming with colorful tales that have only added to its appeal and mystique. There is no other residential building in Los Angeles that has housed such a diverse and large group of notables: former residents include David Geffen, Sidney Poitier and Lindsay Lohan(see chart below).Cher, Elton John and Joan Collins are current residents, and THR has learned that Courteney Cox recently bought a two-bedroom, upper-floor unit at the 9255 Doheny Road tower. They've all flocked to a building that is known for its jaw-dropping views, sharp midcentury architecture, discreet staff and prime location on the eastern edge of Beverly Hills at the base of the Hollywood Hills (Sierra Towers is around the corner from Soho House). The building is effectively irreplaceable because current zoning restrictions would make it difficult to build such a tower in West Hollywood, where it is the tallest building. These factors have made Sierra Towers one of L.A.'s most expensive high-rises and helped fuel an explosion in prices and interest there ever since the boom of the mid-2000s. It is one of only a handful of L.A. condo buildings where units routinely sell for more than $1,000 per square foot, an industry benchmark. PHOTOS: Matthew Perry's $30 Million in Real Estate -- Two Listings, One Sale, One Purchase All In A Few Weeks And though Fisher never wound up buying at Sierra Towers, his interest in it is illustrative: The 146-unit property appeals to all generations -- it is a place where starlet Lily Collins could share a dip in the pool or an elevator ride with Joan Collins or her Dynasty nemesis, Diahann Carroll. "You have to be in full makeup at all times when you get in the elevator -- you never know who you are going to run into," says Nikki Haskell, the StarShape diet and fitness guru and a Sierra Towers resident since 1990. She is testing the waters and has put her two-bedroom unit on the market for $3.2 million. Still, Haskell says selling it "would totally break my heart." There are several apocryphal tales about the building's early days that only add to its legend. Residents say that the site for Sierra Towers was originally situated in Beverly Hills, but when that city balked at the proposed height, the property was annexed by Los Angeles County, which then allowed construction to move forward. There are also tales of payoffs by organized crime to neighbors in nearby buildings and houses who grumbled about their views being ruined; another story involves Frank Sinatra helping to get the building completed after construction stalled because he wanted a place for his mother to live. The building is also said to get its plural name from scuttled original plans to build a second tower. (The cities of Beverly Hills and West Hollywood as well as the Los Angeles Conservancy have no records or information that validate these stories.) PHOTOS: Hollywood's Biggest Real Estate Deals of the Week: Matthew Perry, Val Kilmer, Donald Trump What is known about the building's history is much more straightforward. Sierra Towers was developed for $12 million by Walter and Leo Minskoff, whose family firm also built NY's Minskoff Theatre. The building opened in 1966, just as the adjacent Sunset Strip was roaring to life, and became the tallest residential structure in Los Angeles. The architect, Jack A. Charney, who studied under Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler, said in a 1965 Los Angeles Times article that he designed the building "to take maximum advantage of views of city, mountains and ocean." To that end, units in the building, which includes one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, feature true floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive terraces. Sierra Towers was first operated as a rental property, but following its purchase by NY real estate investor Helmsley Spear Inc., the building was converted to condominiums in 1974. Back then, a one-bedroom condo could be had for $70,500 and a three-bedroom unit for $152,500, according to a 1974 Los Angeles Times story. The building drew actors, socialites and singers; The Fugitive star David Janssen settled in, as did star jockey Willie Shoemaker and later, Tawny Kitaen. These days, Sierra Towers condos routinely fetch prices typically reserved for houses in Beverly Hills or Brentwood. This fall, for example, Matthew Perry unloaded a two-bedroom unit for slightly less than $3 million; he had bought it from John in 2005 for $3.2 million. According to data from the Multiple Listing Service, 10 units have been sold in 2011, with an average price of $2.1 million ($1,080 per square foot). That's up from 2010, when eight were sold for an average price of $1.6 million ($850 per square foot). Still, prices are down from the boom years, when units sold for more than $2,000 per square foot; and at the height of the recession in 2009, only one unit traded hands. But Filice cautions that recent sales figures don't tell the whole story because some deals are conducted off the market and don't appear in sales databases. He said there have been three such sales this year. EXCLUSIVE: Hollywood's Historic Taft Building for Sale Filice knows the building well. A San Francisco transplant, he bought a unit in January 2002 for $725,000 after being captivated by the views, locale and -- perhaps most of all -- an opportunity. The Sotheby's International Realty agent felt that the building, which at the time had fallen out of favor with the celebrity set, could be repositioned to a new generation of Hollywood players. He says that his grassroots advertising campaign brought a slew of new residents to the tower, transforming it into a hotspot for young Hollywood. During the past decade, Lohan and Rachel Zoe moved in, among others. In the boom years, some flippers -- including Vincent Gallo -- made a fortune, turning units quickly for profits in the millions. Residents say that the building functions as a true community: A-listers are friendly in the hallways, quick to offer a smile or hold the elevator. "Everybody in the building has a tremendous amount of privacy -- it's not every man for himself," Haskell says. But the building's array of outsize personalities has produced memorable moments for some residents. A handful of stories, in fact, revolve around the building's elevators, of which there are just two -- an oversight by the developer that, Kitaen says, made it cumbersome to remodel her many residences (she lived in five units from the early 1980s to 2008). With only two elevators, strange trips can occur. Filice, for example, recalls one ride he took that ended with the doors opening on Lohan, clothed only in an unbuttoned men's dress shirt, in the midst of an argument with then-boyfriend Scott Storch, a record producer. (Filice, who says he has sold more than 100 units at the building, no longer lives there.) One former resident recalls working out in the gym and expecting to see a "catfight between Alex Carrington and Dominique Deveraux" -- the Dynasty characters portrayed by Collins and Carroll, respectively. (It didn't happen.) Through the years, owners have taken advantage of the building's design to re-imagine their units. Because Sierra Towers was built with crawl space between floors, owners are afforded great flexibility in rerouting plumbing and other systems to different places in units. Among those who've put their own stamp on things: Charles S. Cohen, owner of the Pacific Design Center, who has combined three units. Cher's unit is the only two-story condo in the building -- it was previously owned by Gallo and earlier, Geffen. For his part, John has created a residence for his 10-month-old son, Zachary, that is adjacent to the singer's pad. Kitaen, Haskell and others say the building's staff of 37 -- which includes security personnel, porters and 11 valets, distinguishes it from other high-end condo properties, including Wilshire Corridor mainstays such as the Blair House and new additions like The Century. That sentiment is echoed by Sotheby's agent Josh Greer, also a resident. "There are newer, glossier, flashier buildings on the Corridor, but they are dime-a-dozen," says Greer, who has owned several units in the tower over the years and sold seven there in the past six months. "I come home and they hand me my FedEx packages and take my car, which is perfectly washed by the valets. I am never going to leave." Of course, homeowner association dues are dear: A fee of roughly $1.20 per square foot per month means that the owner of a 2,100-square-foot, three-bedroom unit forks over about $2,520 per month. Greer likens Sierra Towers to a top-tier NY co-op, such as the Dakota. But unlike Manhattan, where there are several residential towers favored by that city's elite, in L.A., a confluence of timing, location and Hollywood glamour has allowed Sierra Towers to stand alone. News that five units are now on the market -- including a $9.5 million penthouse -- excites Kitaen, who wishes she could return to the building she long called home. The onetime Whitesnake music video star longingly recounts her days at Sierra Towers, saying she wakes up "thinking about it every morning, going 'Goddamn it, why did I sell my place?'"

One factor, though,Leonard’s website will not be accessible to everybody, however. Verified membership will probably be extended to include agents, managers, company company directors, stars, and authors who'll rate scripts in line with the things that like best.

Ultraviolet set for global roll-out

CANNES -- The new cloud storage system Ultraviolet, which bows in the U.S. Oct. 11, will announce a global roll-out in the coming months with launches imminent in both the U.K. and Canada. Warner Bros. exec Justin Herz, speaking during a conference session at Mipcom Tuesday, said that more than 50% of the studio's film and TV catalog would be available via UV by the end of next year while Fox indicated that "a significant" amount of its fare would soon be UV-enabled. The studios that have signed up for UV, which include NBC Universal and Fox -- a group from which Disney is conspicuously absent -- hope the new technology will re-ignite the home entertainment market and prove a much-needed boost to revenues following the collapse of DVD sales, and the failure of Blu-ray to generate widespread excitement among film and TV lovers. UV-enabled discs allow consumers to watch the same piece of content on 12 different devices, be it connected TVs, laptops, tablets or mobiles, anywhere in the world once they open an account giving them access to online streaming. The first UV release, Warners' "Horrible Bosses," bows Oct. 11, with further releases due in the coming weeks. The first TV skein will be CW's "One Tree Hill," and is expected in the coming months, indicated Herz. Despite the imminent launch Mark Teitell, general manager of the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem, declined to say how much the service would cost. This would be worked out between content suppliers and retail partners. But Herz, senior VP, direct-to-consumer, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution and general manager, Warner Bros. advanced digital services, was anything but tight-lipped on how digital distribution had to date let down the public. He said: "We have done a terrible job at introducing digital product and the consumer has voted vociferously against what we have done." Whether UV does any better remains to be seen, but Teitell sounded determined, if realistic. He said: "There is a lot to be worked out. We are just getting startedThe goal is to make Ultraviolet available everywhere Blu-rays and DVDs are for sale." Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
