A muse, a mother, a fashionista, an actor, a rock ‘n’ roll icon — it’s hard to describe exactly why Anita Pallenberg remains such a compelling figure more than a half-century after the captivating blonde sang backing vocals on the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil” and starred in movies like “Performance” and “Barbarella.”
The new documentary “Catching Fire: The Story of Anita Pallenberg” delves into both the beautiful and tragic moments of her eventful life with the help of a treasure trove of home movies and interviews, as well as an unpublished memoir penned by Pallenberg and narrated by Scarlett Johansson. The footage is coupled with interviews of the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, with whom she had a significant relationship, their children Marlon and Angela Richards, director Volker Schlondorff, who cast her in some of his films, and her former friends and associates.

Jared Leto has signed on to portray Andy Warhol in a biopic – titled Warhol – that the actor will also produce. Screenwriter Terence Winter, who has worked on the Sopranos, The Wolf of Wall Street and Vinyl, will write the script and co-produce.
The movie's source material is author Victor Bockris' account of the pop artist's life, Warhol: The Biography, which came out two years after the artist's 1987 death. The Hollywood Reporter describes that book as the "jumping-off point" for the film and says that Leto and fellow producer...

Cinema's latest The Joker is taking on the life of Andy Warhol for his next project...
Fresh of his surprisingly limited screentime playing The Joker in this summer’s Suicide Squad, Jared Leto is getting right back into the soup, Campbell’s Soup that is. Leto, who won an Oscar for 2013’s Dallas Buyers Club, has signed on to play Andy Warhol in a new film called Warhol.
The film will be based on author Victor Bockris's 1989 book Warhol: The Biography. The screenplay will be written by The Wolf Of Wall Street screenwriter and Boardwalk Empire and Vinyl creator Terence Winter.
Leto will co-produce Warhol with Winter and Michael De Luca, who produced Oscar-winning and -nominated films like The Social Network and Captain Phillips.
Andy Warhol was, of course, an art provocateur. He took New York City’s art world and club scene by storm throughout the 1960s.

Here’s betting the next time we all see Jared Leto, he’ll be wearing a grey wig and sunglasses trying to convince someone to make a screen test: The actor has signed on to play Andy Warhol in a new film that he’ll also produce, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The biopic, which is not-very-creatively titled Warhol, is set to be written by The Wolf Of Wall Street’s Terence Winter, fresh off Vinyl, which means we’re guaranteed extended sequences of people doing drugs. Winter is basing the screenplay off of Victor Bockris’ book Warhol: The Biography.
Leto spent the last year trying to convince everyone how hardcore he went as the Joker in Suicide Squad only to see the movie get savaged by critics and most of his scenes cut. Presumably going Method to play Warhol won’t require a live rat, but here’s...

Lindsay Lohan may be a tabloid publisher’s dream, but for fans of celebrity news her exploits tend to induce more guilt than pleasure. We remember her when she was just a girl, brimming with talent and potential. We know how far she’s fallen.
That’s why, when we really need to scratch that gossip-news itch, we increasingly turn to disposable "stars" like Snooki and Courtney Stodden. Their failures don’t fill us with shame and dread. They make us feel the way we want to feel when we click on a celebrity headline: superior!
Andy Warhol created the first disposable celebrities when he plucked Edie Sedgwick, Baby Jane Holzer and others out of obscurity and declared them "Superstars." As it turned out, making them famous required nothing more than saying it was so.
"They were all dedicated to Andy's visions and gave their best to him, because he...

In Victor Bockris' biography on Andy Warhol, Warhol describes his dream of attending one of his famed parties and mingling with all of his paintings' subjects who have magically come to life around him. Last night, painter Kimberly Brooks got to live out Warhol's dream. Brooks' current solo show "The Stylist Project" opened Saturday at Culver City gallery Taylor de Cordoba and last night, Vanity Fair, Dior, and Taylor de Cordoba came together to throw a one-night-only soiree benefiting P.S. Arts. The event was held at Leadapron and featured Brooks' current show plus an unveiling of Ginnifer Goodwin's portrait in Dior. Kimberly's endeavor is lofty -- she has gathered stylists and fashion icons who function somewhat like the Wizard of Oz, working behind the scenes to shape current trends and styles. One by one, she has asked...

This is the 6th post in a series covering the most outrageous moments in underground film history. You can follow the entire series here.
Film: Empire
Director: Andy Warhol
Year: 1964
During his entire filmmaking career, artist Andy Warhol filmed lots of outrageous stuff. With films with titles like Lonesome Cowboys, Nude Restaurant, Mario Banana, Suicide, Bitch — and worse! — it was clear Warhol liked to shock, enrage and embarrass his audiences.
However, the most outrageous thing Warhol ever filmed? The Empire State Building. One shot. For six hours straight. Well, Warhol filmed the topmost portion of the then world’s tallest building for six hours, but when projected he slowed the film down so that he expected audiences to watch a single, static shot for over eight hours.
According to Warhol assistant Gerard Malanga in the Victor Bockris biography The Life and Death of Andy Warhol, filmmaker John Palmer came up with the concept for Empire.
