Dandelion Wine Coming To The Screen

Ray Bradbury's book adapted.... Though his more science fiction-focused titles such as The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 have long since been adapted for the screen (with new versions planned for both stories), legendary author Ray Bradbury's other work is still able to attract plenty of interest. Now his fantastical, fanciful and semi-autobiographical tome Dandelion Wine is being transferred via Black Swan producer Mike Medavoy. For those who've never read it, Dandelion Wine takes place during the summer of 1928 in Green Town, Illinois. There, young Douglas Spalding experiences all the highs and lows of being young and free in small town America. Bradbury will be closely involved with the adaptation, though the actual screenwriter will be Rodion Nahapetov, who has his own connection with the story, having adapted it once before for a short film. This is the best birthday gift I could ask for, Bradbury says in a statement picked up by Variety. Today, I have been reborn! Dandelion Wine is my most deeply personal work and brings back memories of sheer joy as well as terror. This is the story of me as a young boy and the magic of an unforgettable summer which still holds a mystical power over me. There's no word on when we'll actually get to see the film just yet. But if it can bottle even a fraction of the book's magic, it could be something great...

Comedian Luka Jones Lands Male Lead In New NBC Comedy Series 'BFF'

EXCLUSIVE: Upright Citizens Brigade performer Luka Jones has landed the male lead opposite UCB alumni Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair in the midseason NBC comedy series BFF. The single-camera comedy, created by Parham and St. Clair, centers on Jessica (St. Clair) and Lennon (Parham), best friends forever, who live on opposite sides of the country. But when Jessica is served divorce papers, she reluctantly moves back to New York and back into Lennon's apartment. It doesn't take long for the girls to fall back into old habits: Steel Magnolias marathons, epic girl-talk sessions... none of which is good news to Lennon's live-in boyfriend, Joe (Jones). He's trying to be understanding, but begins to feel like a stranger in his own home. Jones, managed by 3 Arts, succeeds Adam Pally who played the role in the pilot presentation. Pally, a friend of Parham and St. Clair, did the presentation as a guest star as he is a regular on Happy Endings, which ABC renewed for a second season. This marks the first major acting gig for Jones who has been doing standup, performing with UCBLA and pursuing PhD in philosophy.

The Loneliest Planet

A Parts and Labor, Flying Moon production in association with Wild Invention in co-production with ZDF Das Kleine Fernsehspiel, in cooperation with Arte, with support from Hessen Invest Film. (International sales: the Match Factory, Cologne.) Produced by Jay Van Hoy, Lars Knudsen, Helge Albers, Marie Therese Guirgis. Executive producers, Shelby Alan Brown, Gregory Shockro, Dallas M. Brennan, Rabinber Sira, Chris Gilligan, Hunter Gray. Directed, written by Julia Loktev, based on the short story "Expensive Trips Nowhere" by Tom Bissell.With: Gael Garcia Bernal, Hani Furstenberg, Bidzina Gujabidze. (English, Georgian, Spanish dialogue)When two hipsters go on a guided camping expedition in the Caucasus Mountains, an incident tears a rift between them in "The Loneliest Planet," writer-helmer Julia Loktev's powerful, exquisitely lensed third feature. As with her previous film, "Day Night Day Night," Loktev withholds vital information here about her characters' inner thoughts, a strategy that will provoke passionate arguments over post-screening drinks, perhaps enhancing word of mouth. More commercially viable than "Day Night," especially given its spectacular use of locations and the presence of star Gael Garcia Bernal, pic should trek around the fest circuit and pitch camp with specialty distributors. Practically no backstory is provided about protagonists Alex (Gael Garcia Bernal) and Nica (Gotham-born, Israel-based thesp Hani Furstenberg), but what's clear is that they're seasoned travelers who pride themselves, perhaps a little smugly, on roughing it in countries off the usual tourist track. Clearly, they're also besotted with each other, evinced in scenes of them canoodling, frisking like puppies or making love in low-lit, odd-angled shots. After haggling in a local burg for a guide, they retain the services of Dato (real mountaineer Bidzina Gujabidze) to steer them through the extraordinary, grass-clad mountains of the Khevi region. Much of the pic's first hour unspools through continuous handheld shots of the threesome trudging along with backpacks, telling stories when they're not silently concentrating on navigating treacherous terrain. At regular interludes, long-distance shots observe them dwarfed by the landscape as Richard Skelton's haunting, rhythmic, ethnically inflected score intones in the background. An encounter on the trail turns into a near-life-threatening test of manhood that Alex arguably fails. Thereafter, none of the characters discuss what happened, but it casts a profound pall over the adventure, shifting allegiances and sympathies among the threesome. Auds are bound to differ over how to interpret the turning point and its consequences, while those who know the source material, a short story called "Expensive Trips Nowhere" by Tom Bissell, might quibble that Loktev's recasting the couple as younger lovers weakens the psychological credibility of Alex's actions. But other viewers may recognize a core emotional truth about how deeply travel tests relationships, how a single instinctive action can shift the ground irrevocably between people, and how no words can make things right. The realism is enhanced by nuanced, semi-improvised perfs from Bernal and Furstenberg. The way they silently project Alex and Nica's anger, disappointment and the faint rekindling of affection later on impresses just as much as their willingness to take physical risks. Loktev's muscular, distinctive helming percussively deploys repetition and shock cuts (she also takes a co-editing credit) that's of a piece with "Day Night Day Night" and her docu "Moment of Impact." However, it's the craftsmanship of Chilean lenser Inti Briones, who has worked with Raul Ruiz and Cristian Jimenez, that really steals the show here. Using a Red camera rigged to carry Soviet Lomo prime lenses that lend a Slavic softness to the proceedings, Briones makes the landscape look both achingly romantic and malevolent, offering nowhere to hide in this treeless expanse.Camera (color, HD-to-35mm), Inti Briones; editor, Michael Taylor, Loktev; music, Richard Skelton; production designer, Rabiah Troncelliti; art director, Elina Shahnazarova; costume designer, Troncelliti; sound, Michel Kloefkorn; sound designer, Martin Hernandez; supervising sound editor, Hernandez; re-recording mixers, Chris Johnston, Mark Hernandez; line producer, Jana Sardlishvili; associate producers, Roshanak Behesht Nedjad, Tao Hong; assistant director, Zaza Rusadze.
