“American Idol” continues with a special bonus episode after the Oscars on March 27. As always, Ryan Seacrest hosts the reality TV competition series while country superstar Luke Bryan, pop princess Katy Perry and Oscar-winning singer/songwriter Lionel Richie make up the judging panel. This one-hour episode will include never-before-seen auditions.
This season the judges embark on yet another nationwide search for America’s next singing sensation. Auditions were held in Nashville, Tennessee, Austin, Texas and Los Angeles, California. If given a golden ticket, hopeful idols will advance to the Hollywood round. In a new twist this season, three contestants will be given a Platinum Ticket, which allows them to skip the first phase of Hollywood week: Huntergirl, Kenedi Anderson and Jay Copeland.

Now completed, “The Silence of Smoke” has been added to the FilMart sales lineup of Hong Kong studio Media Asia. The family drama film is directed by Takita Yojiro, who won the best foreign-language film Oscar in 2008/9 with “Departures.”
The film was first teased by Media Asia at an event at the market in 2019 with the film’s lead actors Han Geng, Zhang Guoli and actress Xu Qing in attendance.
The story is a heart-wrenching tale of a young cake-maker’s growth and discovery following his father’s death.
Although the man is the heir to eight generations of bakers, his cakes lack standout quality. When his father refuses to divulge the family secret, he instead moves into mass catering for movie crews. The father dies before he is able to pass on the secret ingredient and the man only comes to understand his father, his methods and motivation when...

Brandi Carlile has posted an emotive cover of Tears For Fears’ “Mad World” that was captured at her Washington State home. The song was included as part of Carlile’s full-album livestream re-imagining of 2009’s Give Up the Ghost on September 13th.
Seated at a keyboard and flanked by a series of guitars and a poster documenting her Joni Mitchell tribute show, Carlile taps out the melancholy piano intro from the song. The slowed-down performance gains some extra weight from Carlile’s tremulous voice, sliding up into glass-like high notes...

It’s been over 10 years since Adam Lambert famously lost the “American Idol” title to singer-songwriter Kris Allen and fans are still adamant he was robbed. In a recent poll we asked our readers which runner-up from the past 17 seasons of “Idol” most deserved to win and Lambert won by an absolute landslide. With 74% of the vote, he is by far the most beloved second-place finisher.
Finishing a distant second place in our poll with 8% of the vote was Season 2’s Clay Aiken, who lost to Ruben Studdard in the closest finale vote in “American Idol” history. Last year’s finalist Alejandro Aranda snagged 6% after losing to country singer Laine Hardy. Katharine McPhee finished in fourth place with 4% of voters who thought she should have defeated Taylor Hicks in Season 5.

As she arrives for the Oscars, the producer of The Master and Zero Dark Thirty is no longer the mystery she was
Photographers should be able to recognise Megan Ellison as she arrives at the Oscars this Sunday. Dark-haired and a young-looking 27, the producer of two of the year's most contentious films – The Master and Zero Dark Thirty – is no longer the mystery she was a couple of years ago. Yet the most powerful new force in Hollywood may still go unnoticed.
"She's incredibly self-effacing," says JoAnne Sellar, another of The Master's producers, who has worked with that film's director, Paul Thomas Anderson, throughout his career. "If you ran into her on set, you'd assume she was someone's Pa."
For an industry fond of tales of secretive billionaires with extravagant superpowers, there is something strangely fitting about the rise of Ellison, the daughter of software tycoon Larry Ellison, third wealthiest man in America.

She has landed rights to the Terminator and rescued two Paul Thomas Anderson films. And there's plenty more to come
When the scabrously funny Bridesmaids staggered into cinemas recently, it swiftly reignited the debate about the way Hollywood deals with half its potential audience. Surprising, was it not, that young women might enjoy a film that treated them as something other than sad-eyed punchlines for Todd Phillips? And a little ironic given that in the first half of 2011, an actual living-and-breathing woman of 25 had quietly become one of the most important figures in the movie industry.
Her name is Megan Ellison. You will, I imagine, be hearing it again – the speed of her rise to prominence, fuelled by family wealth and apparently flawless taste, makes her an intriguing proposition. Only three years ago, she was just another fun-loving billionaire heiress barely out of her teens and having her lifestyle choices...

Entertainment One will release the psychological drama-thriller film Waking Madison, starring Sarah Roemer (The Con Artist) and Elisabeth Shue (Piranha), on DVD July 12.
Sarah Roemer tries to keep in together in Waking Madison.
In the movie, Madison (Roemer) is a New Orleans phone sex operator who’s doing everything she can to lead a normal life. When a series of events leaves Madison suicidal and desperate, she locks herself away in her apartment for 30 days. Using a video camera to document herself like a visual journal, Madison vows that if she does not have the answer to her questions and feel more at peace with her life, she will kill herself on the 30th day. Will she be able to piece her life together? Are the people in her life real at all or are they merely figments of her disordered and fragmented mind?

HollywoodNews.com: The late August clearance sale began for studios this weekend when no less than five wide releases opened, some of rather dubious critical distinction, but not one of them could dislodge last week’s barn -burner winner, “The Expendables” for the top spot at the box office. It’s an unusual situation to be sure when a Sylvester Stallone action film that also features plum parts for the past-their-prime likes of Dolph Lundgren and Jet Li can grab the brass ring not just one, but two weeks in a row. Thanks to the smart distribution strategy of Lionsgate, following a pattern set by the similarly themed “Inglourious Basterds” last August, “Expendables” became a prime example of a movie filling the right “slot” in a release schedule rather than the other way around. Now it seems like studios stake a claim to a date that has...

Is Elisabeth Shue staging a mainstream comeback? Before catching her cameo in the curiously enjoyable Hamlet 2, I hadn't seen her since 2000's Hollow Man. Actually, there was also Gracie, which wasn't half bad, but went unnoticed earning only $3.8 million worldwide on a $9 million budget. Anyway, Shue is back and not just in the little indie like Don McKay way. Not only does she star in the film that could end the summer season with a bang, Piranha 3D, but she's also got Waking Madison, Janie Jones and now, according to THR, House at the End of the Street on the way.
Last month we found out that Jennifer Lawrence and Max Thieriot are starring in FilmNation Entertainment and A Bigger Boat's horror thriller. House at the End of the Street will feature Lawrence as a teen who moves to a new town with her mother (Shue). Upon arriving, they...

Thanks mainly to Louisiana's huge tax breaks, The Big Easy is back on the celluloid map in a big way
Late August 2005. One event – Hurricane Katrina – dominates Us TV news networks. And one song is played, almost on a loop, over footage of the devastation: Randy Newman's Louisiana 1927, a sad attack on the government's handling of a flood some eight decades earlier. Its mordant chorus – "The river rose all day/ The river rose all night/ Some people got lost in the flood/ Some people got away alright" – became an unofficial anthem of the tragedy.
Four years on, and Newman has cooked up a fresh batch of numbers about the Big Easy, designed to erase all association of the city with large-scale calamity – for 90 minutes, at least. Like the film they soundtrack, The Princess and the Frog, a Disney fairytale set in jazz age New Orleans, the tunes are determinedly upbeat – rowdy,...

Gravity Films has attached Katherine Brooks to direct "Freak," based on the life of jockey Julie Krone.
Brooks also adapted the screenplay from Krone's autobiography, "Riding for My Life," which details her history as the only woman to have won a Triple Crown race (the 1993 Belmont Stakes) and be inducted into the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame. Krone is the most successful female jockey of all time, with nearly four thousand career wins and over $90 million in purse earnings.
Gravity Films principal Sophie Watts will produce along with Brooks; John Manulis will executive produce. Shooting is scheduled to begin in April in New York and Michigan.
"Julie is a freak of nature, and although I admire her accomplishments in racing, it is her personal triumphs that drew me to the project," said Brooks. "I can't relate to winning a Triple Crown race, but I can relate to fighting for an impossible dream.

We already heard that the flesh-hungry piranhas are heading all the way to our eyeballs with Piranha 3D. Now they're getting an excellent tough lady to defeat them. Variety reports (about a week after FEARnet did) that Elisabeth Shue will star in Alexandre Aja's remake of Piranha, which starts shooting next month. She'll play a town sheriff who tries to save both the lake and her family from the angry fishies, while Adam Scott (Step Brothers) helps out as a diver for the Us Geological Service who helps discover the sharp-toothed killers.
If this was just a good actress delighting in some campy horror, that'd be great -- just like spoofing herself in Hamlet 2. But as a well-liked actress who just can't seem to get steady, worthy work, this news is quite disappointing. All she seems to score these days are horror films and sappy family fare. I'm sorry,...
