Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. And sometimes we’re lucky enough to talk to them directly!

Today is one of those glorious days. Conor and I are joined by Guy Pearce, the incomparable actor who’s got a new film coming out in theaters – Memory (April 29th!) – and plenty of accomplished past work to dig into as well.

We focus on The Count of Monte Cristo, The Hard Word, and Lockout (a.k.a. Space Jail). Plenty more is touched on in our 25 minutes of Guy Talk. Pearce explains his disappointment in Gillian Armstrong’s Death Defying Acts getting buried by Harvey Weinstein fifteen years ago, gets honest about certain movies he deems his “divorce films,” and highlights other B-Sides he’d...

Utopia has acquired worldwide rights to David Gutnik’s “Materna” ahead of the film’s in-person debut at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.

The movie looks at four women, whose lives intersect during an incident on a New York City subway. Kate Lyn Sheil (“She Dies Tomorrow”), Jade Eshete (“Billions”), Lindsay Burdge (“Black Bear”), Assol Abdullina (“First Snow”), Michael Chernus (“Orange Is the New Black”), Rory Culkin (“Castle Rock”) and Sturgill Simpson (the upcoming “Killers of the Flower Moon”) all star. Abdullina and Eshete co-wrote the screenplay with Gutnik.

According to the official logline: “‘Materna’ follows the journeys of four New York women who are isolated by city life, separated by class, politics, race and religion, and yet bound by a shared hunger for identity and connection. With their futures at stake, the characters’ lives are upended by a fateful encounter underground, where their stories of personal transformation become a battle for survival.

This quality in this year’s crop of home-grown productions at the San Sebastian Festival is no surprise to anyone following the region’s growth in recent years, but it is impressive.

Below, 20 Basque projects and finished films and series which stand out at this year’s event.

“Akelarre,” (Pablo Agüero)

A former San Sebastian Festival Co-Production Forum project, “Akelarre” is the latest from Cannes Jury Prize-winner Pablo Agüero (“First Snow”) and plays in this year’s main competition. Heavily influenced by Jules Michelet’s novel “The Witch,” Agüero’s period drama came from a “feeling of injustice that almost all works of fiction dealing with witch hunts perpetuate, clichés first created by the Inquisition.” Seven companies combined on the ambitious co-production.

“Patria,” (Aitor Gabilondo)

Sony Pictures Classics has released brand new photos featuring some of Lahly Poore-Ericson’s amazing costumes from I Saw The Light.

Her costume design credits include The Homesman, 50 to 1, Doc West, Spoken Word, First Snow and Save Me.

Written and directed by Marc Abraham, I Saw The Light is based on Colin Escott’s award-winning biography of Hank Williams and stars Tom Hiddleston, Elizabeth Olsen, Bradley Whitford, David Krumholtz and Cherry Jones.

Of star Tom Hiddleston, who actually sings every note in the film, Abraham says, “He’s an amazing actor and truly I cannot imagine anyone, anywhere more dedicated.”

The film screened at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. Hiddleston’s “performance is magnificent,” says Chris Bumbray (JoBlo.com). Read the full review here.

I Saw The Light tells the story of the iconic, tormented singer-songwriter Hank Williams who revolutionized country music with his raw charisma, haunting voice and original songs,...

Michael Bublé is back with his third annual Christmas special (airing Wednesday at 10 p.m. Et on NBC), and this year’s guests are Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey, whose bedazzled mic is truly something to behold. “I felt so unimportant,” Bublé jokes. “No, it was funny, we actually had a laugh about it, her and I. I like that the girls have bedazzled mics. I saw Katy Perry’s mic the other night behind the scenes at a show we were both doing together, it was glorious. They actually look like they have special powers. I expect to see it in,...

DC Comics continues its collection of the Dark Knight’s self-titled monthly adventures with Batman Volume 2: The City of Owls. The book contains issues 8 through 12 and the first annual. Many of them were already published in Batman: Night of the Owls. However, this chronological combination helps to give you a better understanding of the entire Court of Owls saga.

Bruce Wayne must accept the fact that the Court of Owls is real after a series of dangerous discoveries. They plan to take control of Gotham and set about to do so using their regenerated and virtually unstoppable Talon agents. As Batman strikes against the Court, he discovers grim secrets about Gotham City and the Wayne family.

Writer Scott Snyder and co-writer James Tynion IV keep the reader guessing throughout the second part of the epic Owls saga. He continues to expand on Batman’s battle with the Court and Talons as we would expect.

The holiday season arrived tonight on Up All Night. "First Snow" showed just how taxing the time of giving can be, as Reagan and Chris struggled to create a worthwhile Christmas card.

Despite having yet to utter a single line, Amy took center stage when the focus switched from her parents to their adorable daughter. I'm going to guess it was the Chris in her that inspired the key hiding... or perhaps her Auntie Ava has rubbed off on her.

Chris self consciously likened his head to a Pez dispenser at one point, but like the candy holder, each time he opened his mouth he seemed to treat us with an amazing pop culture reference, like Richard Marx and The Wire.  

He and Reagan never did get to their mountain destination, but their road trip yielded some good laughs, such as Reagan being jealous of men peeing outdoors, which made...

[ Anirban Roy

Until Aashpordha or Audacity, Anirban Roy made films in the Us. When he returned to his hometown Kolkata, he decided to adapt his long forgotten short story into a film. Aashpordha has been travelling to several film festivals like Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles where it won the Audience award, AFI Fest and New York International Film Festival.

The film has been sold for braodcast in three countries; Sbs (Australia), Svt (Sweden) and Chello Multicanal (Spain).

Here Anirban Roy talks about his experience and the story behind Aashpordha:

Tell us about Aashapordha.

A thirteen-year-old Indian girl dares to challenge the authority of her traditional father. That’s the basic plot line of Aashpordha (Audacity). It is a story of rebellion, where the small attains a victory over the big. It’s a tight slap on the face of the authoritarian in each one of us. For characters and relationships in the film,...

Olivia Wilde is set to play everyone's favorite Tomb Raiding hottie. French site Cinepop is reporting the that Tron: Legacy star is set to play Lara Croft in a Tomb Raider reboot. The film will reporedly be directed by Mark Fergus (First Snow, and writer of Cowboys & Aliens). Fergus co-wrote the script with Hawk Ostby (Iron Man). Afm kicks off next week, so this is likely to be announced then. 

I remember spending hours and hours playing this game or watching my friends play. The game was fun, but I am sure that the sexy pixelized heroine did not hurt any. Angelina Jolie played the role in the two previous films. Wilde has the looks and the strength to handle this role. More news will be reported here as it becomes available. 

What are your thoughts?

Ready for Piper Perabo and Covert Affairs Season 2?

The USA network has unleashed a brand new Covert Affairs Season 2 teaser and that means there will be plenty of actress Piper Perabo to go around. Yes, Perabo is back in all new episodes as secret agent Annie Walker. Take a look at what’s new for the remainder of Season 2, which returns to airwaves this coming November.

Perabo isn’t the only actor looking sharp in the rest of the season. I’m a fan of Sendhil Ramamurthy, formerly of Heroes, who definitely turns up the heat as Jai Wilcox. Of course Christopher Gorham is still the blind tech ops team member, Auggie, and Peter Gallagher returns as Aurthur Campbell. Former House series recurring actress Anne Dudek comes back, too, as Danielle.

Lies? Half lives? Betrayal? Uh-oh! Yes, the video reveals the season will definitely continue to get dangerous. Doesn’t...

From the moment he first saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark," Adam Scott knew he wanted to be an actor. "I watched Harrison Ford onscreen and said, 'That looks like fun. Not only is he running from boulders; he's so funny," the now-37-year-old Scott recalls. "Basically, all I still want to do is run from boulders." Until his career as an action hero takes off, Scott will have to be satisfied with his status as the next big thing. After holding his own as Will Ferrell's Dane Cook–loving sibling in "Step Brothers," Scott stole scenes as a sleazy agent on "Eastbound and Down" and romanced Amy Adams in "Leap Year." He recently joined the cast of the NBC comedy "Parks and Recreation" as a potential love interest for Amy Poehler and will be seen "riding a Jet Ski and carrying a shotgun on my back" (but no boulders) in August's "Piranha 3-D.

I'm one of those guys who actually believes that remakes and reboots can work, and work well.  Don't misunderstand me, I'm certainly not saying they Usually work, but from time to time we've been treated to cinematic gems that were remakes of older material.

I'm also a believer that when you do a remake or reboot, you should just start with an absolutely clean slate.  Don't bring over any of the old story or old cast whatsoever.  For example, as wonderful as Robert Englund was are Freddy in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" films, I was of the firm belief (although very much in the minority) that if you're doing a remake of Nightmare, you need to cast someone else in the role.

But, for every rule there is an exception, and in the case of the upcoming "Spider-Man" reboot (being directed by "500 Days Of Summer" director Marc Webb), I...

Don’t wear a red suit and go anywhere near Bo Obama!

The First Dog disrupted an adorable story reading and Q + A session with the first lady and daughters at the Children’s National Medical Center on Dec. 22, when he took a disliking to Santa Claus!

An embarrassed Michelle kept shushing Bo while she tried to read the classic—Twas the Night Before Christmas, and Bo wouldn’t stop barking. Finally, Santa had to hide!

Bo came decked out in a red and white Xmas collar and kept putting his big furry paws up on his “mom” while his “sisters” took turns reading to the children! Malia told her kids audience that her mom makes her hot cocoa, before answering children’s questions.

Want to know what the Obamaettes were asked?

Q: How will Christmas be different for you this year?

Sasha: It will be easier to get on the plane than yeast year.

It’s Snowgate! Who brings a gun to a snowball fight? This guy! Check out the video of innocent winter revelry turning super scary.

Ok, there’s no celebrities involved but the snowstorm in Washington D C itself, was kind of like a celebrity-sighting. The city was having a ball until an undercover police officer crashed the party shocking residents on Dec. 19, by waving his gun at a perfectly peaceful crowd gathered for a snowball fight.

Hundreds had congregated at the intersection of 14th and U Streets, Nw to enjoy a rare, huge snowstorm in our nation’s capital. The young people were enjoying themselves by pelting each other with snowballs–until a man stepped out of his vehicle, gun drawn, just steps from the large crowd.

It turned out that he was an undercover cop, though he never identified himself.

The snowball fighters were drawn together through a viral campaign on Facebook,...

When Jon Favreau said he would not be available to direct "The Avengers" for Marvel, he opened the doors for speculation about who would be behind the camera.

Favreau's "Iron Man" breathed life into the current wave of Marvel films culminating in 2012's gigantic crossover event, but someone else will have to step in to bring his storyline together with "The Incredible Hulk," "The First Avenger: Captain America" and "Thor."

Here are five directors who might be able to pull it off and make the "Avengers" movie fans want to see.

Zack Snyder: Was "Watchmen" Snyder's last word in superhero movies? Its box office performance may have made that debatable, but its visual presentation was spectacular. Snyder's name sits on a short list including Brett Ratner and Bryan Singer who have tackled superhero team movies in recent years, and his name comes at the top right now.

We heard reports [1] a couple of months ago that the live action adaptation of the seminal anime flick Akira had lost its director and essentially been shelved, which was no doubt seen by some as a fortunate turn of events. If you were hoping this project would stay dead, however, prepare to be disappointed because this week the Akira feature film looks to be revving its engines all over again. According to Collider [2], Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way and Warner Brothers are still actively developing the film, and are currently awaiting a new draft of the script from Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Fergus and Ostby have some serious geek cred under their belts as they previously worked on the screenplays for Children of Men, Iron Man and First Snow. Apparently their version of Akira is still set in post-apocalyptic Manhattan, but it's unclear if the adaptation is being planned as two films,...

We all thought the live-action “Akira” movie was dead and buried, but we were wrong.

According to Collider, the update on Katsuhiro Otomo’s popular anime (based on his graphic novel) is still breathing, though it’s not exactly up and walking around just yet.

Warner Bros. has kept the project in development and is about to receive a new script from Oscar nominees Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, whose joint credits include “Children of Men,” “Iron Man” and the upcoming “Cowboys & Aliens” (which recently added director Jon Favreau and actor Robert Downey Jr.).

Of course, it’s necessary to clarify that their “Children of Men” script was an early version, which was rewritten by director Alfonso Cuaron, and that much of what they wrote for “Iron Man” was also rewritten daily as the movie was being shot—but at least they have a good track record for what their names have been connected to.

It's not new news that John Landis' classic An American Werewolf In London is on track for a remake.  We've known for a while that some foolish production company would be bank-rolling it even though common wisdom says it's going to suck.  (Or bite.)  But who in Hollywood would be stupid and/or egotistical enough to believe a remake could improve upon (or even replicate) the original's perfect hybrid of horror and humor?  Who?!? BloodyDisgusting reported over the weekend that Landis has sold the remake rights to The Weinstein Company's Dimension Films.  Cue groans from film-lovers around the world. I'm not against remakes in general... if a film can be improved in some way then I say go for it.  If it fails, the original is still available.  But what can be made better here?  As I said above the movie is a near-perfect mix of humor and horror.  The...

Yet another independent film distributor has gone belly up, this time it's Yari Film Group Releasing, the distribution arm of Bob Yari's company. As of last Friday, the company was forced into involuntary bankruptcy due to a described "perfect storm" of debts and other issues. Yari Film Group's first big hit was The Illusionist in 2006; other films they've released include First Snow, The Hoax, The Painted Veil, Resurrecting the Champ, The Good Night, Kickin It Old Skool, and The Perfect Holiday. Yari was also in the midst of releasing two dramas this December - Nothing But the Truth and What Doesn't Kill You. Bob Yari said that they were "left with no other option but to commence substantial layoffs and to suspend its releasing activities." While both Nothing But the Truth and What Doesn't Kill You will both be released as planned (on December 19th and December 12th, respectively...

Traitor

Starring Don Cheadle, Guy Pearce, and Saïd Taghmaoui

Directed by Jeffrey Nachmanoff

Rated R

Acting is not a straight line. Even the best thespians have their own methods of reaching their ultimate destination, of creating memorable, believable characters. Watching Traitor is like watching two actors teaching a master class, each armed with those traits that make them timeless performers. Their characters are not larger than life, which is precisely why watching what these venerable talents can do with them is so entrancing.

Don Cheadle’s genius is in finding an emotional center for each character he plays, whether it’s the gun toting Mouse Alexander in Devil in a Blue Dress or his heartbreaking Oscar-nominated turn as Paul Rusesabagina in Hotel Rwanda. Though he fits many of his characters with accents and different devices to hide within them, what always comes out is their emotion.

Conversely, Guy Pearce is...

Director and Co-Writer of First Snow (Tff '06) and a Co-Writer and Oscar Nominee for Children of Men Last week we committed many a mea culpa in penance for earlier forgetting some Tff alums who had received an Oscar nomination. Mark Fergus andHawk Ostby were able to make their first independent film First Snow (Tff '06) thanks to a simple writing gig. Producer Hilary Shor had hired the duo to tackle the widely-considered unadaptable Children of Men by P.D. James. Now, Fergus and Ostby share a Best Adapted Screenplay nomination with three other writers, including the resulting film's director, Alfonso Cuaron. In the midst of nominee lunches and other Oscar-related activities, the duo is now working on the script of the big screen adaptation of Marvel Comics' Iron Man starring Robert Downey Jr and Gwyneth Paltrow and to be directed by Jon Favreau for Summer 2008. Fergus took some time out...

Santa Barbara International Film Festival

Blending noirish mystery and big questions about fate in an evocative Southwestern landscape, "First Snow" is a first-rate psychological thriller. Guy Pearce, no newcomer to playing a man obsessed, adds another exquisite performance to his resume as Jimmy Starks, the tightly wound Type A personality who unravels trying to forestall his death foretold. Dealing with nothing less than our awareness of mortality, the film is a genre riff with something to say. Every scene of the vivid drama pulses with the question of how we choose to live -- whether we treat that awareness as a gift or a curse.

First-time helmer Mark Fergus and his writing partner, Hawk Ostby -- two of the credited scripters on "Children of Men" and the upcoming "Iron Man" -- use elegant storytelling to craft an involving and provocative tale. Upping the impact are the production team's ace contributions, particularly Eric Edwards' atmospheric widescreen lensing of New Mexico locations and Cliff Martinez's spare, pulse-quickening score. After the film opens March 23 in New York and Los Angeles, positive reviews and word-of-mouth will pave its road to other art-house markets.

The contemporary Southwest, with its big sky, untouched Americana and faux-adobe housing developments, is the perfect setting for a story in which nostalgia is the source of both hope and doom. Pearce's Jimmy is a longhaired rebel in a suit, an Albuquerque flooring salesman with plans to make a small fortune selling vintage Wurlitzer jukeboxes. Waiting for his car to be repaired in a desolate high-desert town -- really just a collection of trailers and vending stands -- he kills time buying a $10 fortune from Vacaro (J.K. Simmons). The laconic fortuneteller assures Jimmy that his business venture will succeed, but when a momentary seizure takes hold of him during the reading, he won't explain to Jimmy what he saw that disturbed him so.

Back home, Jimmy finds the good things Vacaro predicted coming true, one by one. But seeing the fortuneteller's abilities validated, Jimmy can't rest until he knows the details of the flip side. Back at Vacaro's trailer, he insists on a second reading, and the reluctant man tells him that his time will run out with the first snow.

Thus begins the jangle-nerved Jimmy's restless search for the cause of his impending demise. The world becomes charged with omen. A medical checkup detects a possible heart problem. He senses ill intent from Andy (Rick Gonzalez), recently fired from the flooring company. In the static on the other end of persistent phone calls to his home, he hears something threatening. But it's when he learns that an old friend has been released from prison that Jimmy believes he has found the source of that dark blotch on his lifeline. Trying to prevent a fatal encounter with Vince, the single-minded Jimmy indirectly initiates contact with the troubled man and sets off a series of cataclysmic events. Along the way, he confides not in his increasingly alienated girlfriend, Deirdre (Piper Perabo), but in his skeptical co-worker and pal Ed (an excellent William Fichtner).

The actors, all strong, give the lyrical but never artificial dialogue the ring of life. Pearce is riveting as a go-getter who finds himself trapped between a murky past and a future defined by ambition. And well before his nemesis Vince appears onscreen, Shea Whigham makes the character a menacing presence in quietly chilling phone messages and conversations with Jimmy. Even so, the question of Jimmy's sanity is never far from the surface, and Fichtner is especially enjoyable as a foil for the unhinged protagonist.
