The RP’s Weekly Web Gems: The Politics of Film

The Politics of Film

New casting news from the next Tarantino film Django Unchained out this week.  Are you as excited for this film as me?  No, you aren’t.  That would be impossible.  [/Film]

The Weinstein Company is one of the biggest film distribution companies in the world.  One of its newest films, Butter, isn’t doing so hot.  So, Harvey Weinstein decided to do something crazy: he invited Michele Bachmann (the lady who fights for girl’s rights to cervical cancer) to the Iowa premier.

The Toronto International Film Festival is going on right now.  There is a lot of news about what films are being picked up for distribution.  One film that I am excited to see, dark comedy God Bless America, was recently picked up. [Film Junk]

Christina Hendricks might play Wonder Woman in a film about the DC heroine.  This would cause me great joy. [IFC]

Top Gun is being post-produced into 3-D.  This is incredible stupid, but so was that movie.  [The Movie Blog]
