“Ad Astra” director James Gray is giving his take on controversial author Norman Mailer for a new series.
Gray, whose own biographical “Armageddon Time” is a hopeful entry for this year’s Cannes, is set to helm a new TV series about Mailer’s life.
John Buffalo Mailer, the son of the writer (who died in 2007), will produce the project, currently titled “Mailer,” through his Mailer Tuchman Media production company.
Mailer was the author of “The Naked and the Dead,” “The Executioner’s Song,” and “The White Negro: Superficial Reflections on the Hipster,” among other novels that proved to be cultural touchstones or controversy-stoking tomes — often in the same text. His work reflected on the evolution of Americana, from World War II to the advent of the internet. Mailer’s relationships with fellow literary icons Truman Capote and Gore Vidal will be fodder for the series, as will Mailer’s six wives and numerous mistresses,...

“This is not a dream.”
Running at 71 minutes, semi-disgraced writer-director, James Toback, has managed to add new meanings to the term, “pretentious,”, with his latest (and hopefully last) film, An Imperfect Murder aka The Private Life of a Modern Woman. The picture stars Sienna Miller in what generally feels like a one-woman-show, only to be infiltrated by annoying and suspicious characters.
Vera Lockman (Miller), an out-of-work actress living in a New York apartment, endures violent nightmares featuring her abusive and frightening ex-boyfriend, Sal (Nick Matthews). The sequence, entailing a loaded gun wielded by the ex, results in the sudden death of its carrier. Was it a nightmare or flashback?

Exclusive: John Buffalo Mailer, son of the iconic author Norman Mailer, is partnering with Hivemind, Washington Place Productions and Mailer-Tuchman Media to create a limited series based on his father’s novel The Naked and the Dead. The deal was brokered by UTA. The partnership is packaging the project and seeking a top showrunner.
Hailed as the first novel to come out of World War II, the critically acclaimed epic enjoyed 62 consecutive weeks on the New York Times Best Seller.

Missed Targets: Danner’s Film After-school Special Fodder
Reveling in the fact that it was made before the latest rash of mass shootings, including 2012’s Aurora, Colorado’s theater massacre, Michelle Danner’s ungainly sophomore effort, Hello Herman still fails to have a timely edge or any other quality of merit, for that matter. Rather, this poorly constructed social issue film is fitted for the same destiny as one of its characters as is outlined by the main protagonist in the film, a footnote to a rather lengthy list of unremarkable footnotes. That’s not to diminish the profound tragedy that is the result of such horrific violence, and exploring the how and the why of these incidents is of paramount importance. While Danner avoids exploitative tactics, her film, unfortunately lacks any kind of elegance or finesse, instead bluntly bludgeoning its audience with the obvious, exuding all the grace of high school theatrical production.

The backlash against Village Voice Media's ownership of Backpage.com continues with a group of high-profile musicians speaking out against the controversial website of online classifieds accused of enabling sex-trafficking.
Alicia Keys, members of Pearl Jam and Alabama Shakes, and Talib Kweli are just a few of the musicians rallying for Village Voice to shutdown the classifieds. Rem's bassist Mike Mills said in a statement:
Village Voice Media has a history of being a strong advocate for the arts, reporting extensively on musicians and their work in its 13 weeklies across the country. That musicians are now speaking out against Village Voice Media’s refusal to take down the Adult section of Backpage.com where pimps advertise the sale of girls for sex is significant and should send a clear message to the company that it needs to take action to ensure no child is sexually exploited through use of its site.

Our heads have been spinning lately with all of the newly-announced projects presented at Cannes. It's hard to keep up. But, here is a glimpse at a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles this week:
Sweat Tea – Sissy Spacek doesn’t have time to worry about a planned Carrie remake, the erstwhile prom queen is set to make her directorial debut with this family drama set in the deep south during the Great Depression. Get Low scribe C. Gaby Mitchell will adapt the screenplay from a novel written by Julia Oliver.
Father Daughter Time – Matt Damon’s set to step behind the camera, too, in this Warner Bros. project written by Matthew Aldrich. Damon also stars as a dad who drags his daughter along a crime spree that spans across three state lines.
The Idolmaker – Completing the trifecta of first time thesps-turned-directors is Ryan Gosling. Directing his first feature—a remake of Taylor Hackford’s 1980 biopic of early rock ‘n’ roll era producer Bob Marcucci, Gosling is also set to star in the film for MGM.
Blind – Uma Thurman and Clive Owen team up in this romantic drama written by Norman Mailer’s son, John Buffalo Mailer. Mark Damon produces the film about a blind writer who hooks up with a married woman.
Mr. Murder Is Dead – Zachary Quinto and Neal Dodson will produce this crime thriller based on Victor Quinaz’s graphic novel via their Before the Door Pictures. Film centers on a retired cop investigating the death of his former nemesis.
Go the F--k to Sleep – We could hardly believe the children’s book that inspired this pic was for real. But topping Amazon’s bestsellers list (before its publication date!) is no joke. If the movie lives up to the hype and wins over parents with a dark sense of humor, then Fox 2000 will have the last laugh. Just, please don’t change the title.

Although it’s only been three months since CBS pulled the plug on As the World Turns after an astonishing 54-year run, for many gay fans, it feels like an eternity. As any AfterElton.com reader knows, the teen supercouple formerly known as Nuke, played with uncommon depth and finesse by Jake Silbermann (Noah) and Van Hansis (Luke), made history with the first-ever dude-on-dude kiss on daytime TV, setting off a media frenzy and a veritable blizzard in the blogosphere.
Their unfolding relationship polarized fans — the gays cheered, but later, some complained the story line was sporadic and sluggish. Remember our Liplock Clock that counted how long it took between kisses? (It was 211 agonizing days between the first and second smooch.) Meanwhile, right-wingers wanted the duo to disappear altogether.
When the producers finally portrayed the guys having sex, they skipped the actual sex scene and merely showed the before and after.

If you watch it now, you can giggle at the giant mobile phone and gawk at the primitive computer screens, with their flashing green numbers, but Oliver Stone's Wall Street (1987) has lost none of its heady zing. It's still a rush, a thriller for the brain, a classic Hollywood myth of an insatiable, cocky, anxious age. It's also one of the most karmically well-timed movies ever made. Wall Street came out at the end of 1987, a couple of months after the stock-market crash, and though it had been shot beforehand, in essence -- in spirit -- it anticipated the crash.
