Jharrel Jerome will play the film’s main subject, though it’s not clear who Jennifer will portray.

Jennifer was spotted on set on Thursday (December 14) at the iconic Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. She was photographed wearing a gray sweater and jeans, as well as a sleek black dress.
On Friday (December 15), Jennifer headed to a local park to do some more shooting for the movie with Jharrel. The singer and actress donned a white long-sleeved shirt...

The deceptively unassuming figure of Los Angeles homicide detective Lieutenant Columbo (Peter Falk), with his rumpled raincoat, cheap cigars, and seeming absentmindedness, might not call to mind the sprawling existentialist novels of Fyodor Dostoevsky. But Columbo’s ancestry can be traced all the way back to Porfiry Petrovich, the pesky, psychologically attuned investigator in Crime and Punishment.
Like that literary classic, the show that shares Columbo’s name functions as an inverted detective story, not so much a whodunit as a howcatchem. In each episode, we spend time with the murderer, soak up their milieu, and witness the commission of the crime. Only then does Columbo make his entrance onto the scene. From there, it’s an escalating battle of nerves between the dogged detective and the initially arrogant murderer.
While Rodion Raskolnikov, the tortured protagonist of Crime and Punishment, is an impoverished student who kills out of economic necessity...

The Jennifer Lopez feature Unstoppable is the latest film to shut down indefinitely as the Writers Strike continues to roil the industry.
Unstoppable, which hails from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Artists Equity, was filming in Los Angeles and was disrupted by picketing strikers earlier in the week. The hope now is to resume at an indeterminate date. Deadline first reported the news.
Unstoppable follows in the footsteps of Aziz Ansari’s Lionsgate feature Good Fortune, which shut down indefinitely two weeks ago in the middle of production after facing picketing. It hopes to resume production after the strike. Meanwhile, Marvel Studios’ Blade and Thunderbolts opted not to go into production until after the strike ends. (Marvel scripts are known to evolve during filming.)
Unstoppable is the second feature from Artists Equity following Air, the 1980s-set film centering on Nike’s battle to sign a young Michael Jordan to an endorsement deal.

Exclusive: More production shutdown as Artists Equity’s feature Unstoppable has been halted against the backdrop of the writers strike, we hear.
Logically, these stopped productions will return when the strike ends, at the latest. The news comes in the wake of picketers forcing Unstoppable to shut down on Wednesday, which was lensing at USC in Los Angeles.
Filming on the Jennifer Lopez-Jharrel Jerome wrestling drama had been going on for the past two weeks. The project is in talks to be sold to Amazon. Two weeks ago, the Aziz Ansari-directed Keanu Reeves-Seth Rogen Lionsgate feature, Good Fortune, was coerced to suspend production amid the writers strike as picketing heated up at its LA Koreatown location.
Unstoppable is based on the story of Anthony Robles (Jerome), a 3x All-American wrestler born with one leg who prevailed in a national championship at Arizona State. Oscar-winning Argo editor...

Exclusive: Unstoppable has, in fact, been stopped — at least for now. Production on the wrestling drama, starring Jennifer Lopez and Jharrel Jerome, paused for the day earlier this morning following picketing at their shooting location near USC.
Artists Equity, the new production company that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon co-founded with RedBird Capital, declined to comment. Whether shooting will resume tomorrow is not yet clear.
Somewhere between 15 and 25 picketers arrived at Unstoppable‘s base camp for the day around 4:30 a.m., with strikers working to maintain a lockdown on a site with numerous entrances. Sources tell Deadline that momentum on the picket line really picked up around 6 a.m. Another close to the situation noted that this is the first time the production has been picketed, though shooting has been taking place for at least two weeks.

Many TV legends and contributors were included for the “In Memoriam” segment on Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony for ABC. But producers are always forced to omit some of the 100+ insiders who died since the last ceremony. Who was left out of the group that was honored?
With dozens of television veterans having died since last year’s mid-September ceremony, people certainly included were these six TV Academy Hall of Fame members:
Diahann Carroll
Leonard Goldberg (executive at 20th Century Fox and ABC; producer of “Charlie’s Angels” and more)
Jim Lehrer (anchor/reporter of “MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour)
Regis Philbin

Even though he wasn’t known for his TV work, blockbuster film actor Chadwick Boseman was featured in the final slot. NBA Hall of Famer Kobe Bryant was not mentioned, even though the event was being held in the Staples Center.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross now have an Emmy to add to their Oscar and Grammy awards, having won Thursday night for their score for HBO’s “Watchmen.”
The Reznor-Ross team were previously honored with an Academy Award for “The Social Network” and a Grammy for their score for “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.”
Accepting remotely — as did all of this week’s Emmy winners — Reznor said: “We’re very proud to be involved with a show that’s relevant, smart and daring. We were changed and affected by working on this, and it’s great to see it resonate with the world at large.” He thanked creator Damon Lindelof for “providing us such a broad canvas to paint on.”

On November 17th (the 37th anniversary of Life Day) Abrams ComicArts released Star Wars: The Original Topps Trading Card Series, Volume One, the first in a series of books reprinting all of the Topps trading cards for your perusal. We sat down and talked with the authors, Gary Gerani and Robert V. Conte, over their love of collecting, the historical value of preserving memorabilia, and where they think Star Wars will head in the future.
ComicMix: How was your experience working with Topps and Abrams ComicArts on this book?
Gary Gerani: Fine. The editors at Abrams were terrific. Most of the people connected with the project were fans, people who wanted this book as much as buyers did.
Robert V. Conte: Abrams didn’t have much of the content needed for this first volume. Surprisingly, neither did Topps. Fortunately, I have a massive Star Wars collection including the...

When Angelina Jolie got the job directing "Unbroken," the new film about Louie Zamperini and his WWII experience, she immediately started hiring the very best people she could possibly hire. Roger Deakins is her photographer. The score is by Alexandre Desplat. William Goldenberg and Tim Squyres cut it. Designed by Jon Hutman. And the list of screenwriters who share final credit for adapting the book by Laura "Seabiscuit" Hillenbrand? Amazing. A murderer's row. Joel and Ethan Coen. Richard Lagravenese. William Nicholson. Nuclear force talent. Here's where I tell you that I have not read Hillenbrand's book, nor was I especially familiar with Zamperini's story before I sat down in the theater yesterday. Anything I write, I'm writing about the film and the way his story is presented here, not about the real guy, who evidently touched a lot of lives. I want to be clear about that because it always...

Angelina Jolie had one key goal, I believe, in bringing Unbroken to the screen, and that was to do right by the remarkable life of Louis Zamperini. Simple as that. And that she has accomplished in every way. This was clearly evident as the film got its local sendoff Sunday afternoon with multiple screenings for guild and Oscar voters as well as the pundit crowd, which couldn’t wait to jump on Twitter to give an instant verdict on the film’s Oscar chances.
After all, this one is a big target, as it is the last realistic Best Picture contender to debut and it has been handicapped, virtually since it went into production, as the one to beat. Is it? Who knows?
Some viewers sent off mixed vibes afterward, though most seemed at the very least to admire it. A few cautioned about the realistic scenes of torture that Zamperini,...

The reviews were glowing; the film’s admirers greatly outweighed its detractors and it put Mr. Spielberg, arguably the most phenomenally successful director in the history of the medium, on a path to a career that would make any contemporary director green with envy. Followed by a spate of contractually obligated television outings, Duel would prove to be the springboard that would catapult Mr. Spielberg into the realm that he was shooting for since his youth: that of feature film directing.

Alan Turing (1912 – 1954) was a British mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, and is considered the father of computer science. He committed suicide at age 42 after being chemically castrated for the “crime” of being homosexual. The Imitation Game, which began principal photography in the UK yesterday, is a dramatic portrayal of the life and work of Turing, one of Britain’s most extraordinary unsung heroes. He will be portrayed by actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
Here are more details:
Alan Turing, the pioneer of modern-day computing, is credited with cracking the German Enigma code and The Imitation Game portrays a nail-biting race against time by Turing and his brilliant team at Britain’s top-secret code-breaking centre, Bletchley Park, during the darkest days of World War II. Turing, whose contributions and genius significantly shortened the war, saving thousands of lives, was the eventual victim of an unenlightened British Establishment, but his work and legacy live on.

Over one million social media mentions were analysed over seven days by leading global film communications company Way To Blue which revealed that people in the UK were the only nation to correctly predict all four winners of the big four Awards (Best Director, Film, Actor and Actress).

If you didn't tune in for the Academy Awards last night, here's a short breakdown of what you missed: William Shatner showed up from the future, Jennifer Lawrence tripped and fell, and Michelle Obama co-presented the award for Best Picture. It was kind of a weird night, but for the most part, the hardware was handed out to all of the expected parties. Argo won Best Picture, Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor and Jennifer Lawrence won Best Actress. If there was a surprise, it was that Life of Pi walked away with the most awards (4) including Best Director for Ang Lee. Zero Dark Thirty got shut out of everything except for Best Sound Editing (in a rare tie with Skyfall). Quentin Tarantino was also a pleasant surprise for Best Original Screenplay. What did you think of this year's Oscars? What was the highlight of the night? How would you rate Seth McFarlane as host?...

This evening’s Oscar ceremony is now over, and with the dust settling on the biggest awards ceremony of the entire year, and the winners and losers celebrating and commiserating together, we’ve put together a full list of the winners (as well as the beaten nominees) for this year’s awards.
Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain nailed the red carpet, apparently, and Sandra Bullock did wonderful things with a diamond hair-clip, while Bradley Cooper and Chris Pine both proved that beards are very much the hot thing right now. But the big events were yet to happen inside the La venue, as the audience sat ready to receive host Seth MacFarlane, and his inevitably cutting humour.
For the most part, MacFarlane was reserved, though a few barbs did land before the end of the night. He played his part also in the excellent musical staging throughout the ceremony, whose highlights featured Shirley Bassey,...

The time has once again come for the Academy Awards, with tonight’s show hosted by Family Guy creator and Ted director Seth MacFarlane. I am not particularly excited in seeing MacFarlane on hosting duties, nor in this year’s awards, as they all seem fairly predictable as we head into the evening. But 2012 brought with it a very strong crop of nominees, and here’s hoping some good films are honored as the show goes along.
I will be live-blogging the entire event from start to finish – minus all the red carpet stuff, as there is only so much I can make myself interested in – starting tonight at 8:30 Et/7:30 Ct/5:30 Pt. I am in Denver, Colorado, on Mountain Time, and the show will begin at 6:30 here. For the sake of simplicity, I will be using my own local time codes, so do not get confused...

Film editor William Goldenberg has attended the Oscars twice before as a nominee, but both times he knew he would lose. In 1999, nominated for "The Insider," Michael Mann's tale of a tobacco industry whistleblower, he ran into the technical wizardry of "The Matrix." In 2004, nominated for "Seabiscuit," he was vanquished by the orcs and elves of "The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King," which swept to victory with all 11 of its nominations. Almost a decade after his last nomination, Goldenberg (at left, with his recent BAFTA win...

The ceremony is over here in London, bringing together some of the finest and most talented people in the film industry under the same roof for one night. The BAFTAs are this country’s highest honour in film, and they have handed out their awards for the 66th time to those whom they deem the most deserving in the past year in film.
And since Ben Affleck is one of my favourite filmmakers of all time, I have been in a brilliant mood tonight, because he’s won (and very much earned) Best Director for Argo, and taken home the Best Film prize alongside his co-producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov. If you haven’t yet seen Argo, I can’t recommend enough how much you should see it as soon as possible.

Affleck's political thriller Argo tops British Academy Awards Argo and Ben Affleck, much like the majority of their predecessors in recent years, remains unstoppable. Argo was named Best Picture and Affleck Best Director at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards earlier today at a ceremony taking place at London's Royal Opera House. (Pictured above: Ben Affleck on the British Academy Awards' 2013 red carpet.) In addition to its Best Picture and Best Director BAFTA victories, Affleck's Iran-set political thriller also won the award for Best Editing (William Goldenberg). Strangely (or perhaps tellingly), Argo's screenwriter Chris Terrio lost the Best Adapted Screenplay award to Silver Linings Playbook's writer-director David O. Russell. Of course, here's wondering if Argo would have lost to Silver Linings Playbook had director and co-producer Affleck co-written the thriller's screenplay as well. North American awards season favorites: Nothing but a popularity contest In recent years,...

The Guardian film team predict who will win what at this year's ceremony
On Friday Xan Brooks assessed the field of this year's Bafta contenders and found it "a hazy huddle of frontrunners, all seemingly bobbing back and forth in front of the finish line".
Lincoln is first among equals with 10 nominations. Les Misérables, Life of Pi, Skyfall and Argo all crowd in behind.
The awards momentum has swung from Life of Pi to Lincoln to Argo over the past few weeks. In a competition this close there could be upsets. There should be tears. There must be winners.
So here's what we think will take home scary award masks this year. We've listed all the nominees. Our predicted winners are in bold.
