World Premiere: About Time (cert TBC)
Thursday 8 August 2013
£22.50 + booking fees
A magical new comedy from Richard Curtis in which Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) is able to relive every moment of his life until he gets it right. Rachel McAdams and Bill Nighy also star in this delightful film about life’s unexpected twists and turns as the course of true love proves hilariously difficult. (119 mins)

Fun fact: “Mean Girls” will also been shown during the festival a few days later on August 10!

Evening Standard is reporting that “About Time” will premiere during the Film4 Summer Screen Festival at Somerset House in London. The festival is held in August and tickets go on sale these friday. For more information go to the official website of the festival.

After blockbuster hits such as Notting Hill and Love Actually, Richard Curtis’s films took a more serious turn.

But now the master of romantic comedy has returned to his roots with a light-hearted film about time travel.

About Time, starring Bill Nighy, Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson, son of actor Brendan, tells the story of a 21-year-old who discovers he can travel in time and change his life and decides to try to get a girlfriend.

Curtis’s credits also include Black-adder, Mr Bean and The Vicar of Dibley and the screenplay for Bridget Jones’s Diary, but his recent projects, such as The Girl in the Cafe, set against the backdrop of a G8 summit, and Mary and Martha, about preventing malaria, have followed more serious themes.

Producer Tim Bevan today said there has been a gap in the romantic comedy market of the same “pedigree” as Love Actually, Notting Hill and Four Weddings And A Funeral.

Empire Magazine is reporting that footage of “A Most Wanted Man” was shown to industry people yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. The footage was part of Film4′s Slate 2013 reel presented by Tessa Ross.

Film4’s contribution to British cinema over the past few decades has been virtually unparalleled – and, judging by the slate we saw previewed today here in Cannes, that’s not about to change in a hurry.

At a lunch at Film4′s Cannes HQ (sadly, not a building in the shape of a giant four – they’re slipping up), Film4’s Tessa Ross, who won a Bafta earlier in the year, cued up a showreel that contained brief glimpses at around a dozen forthcoming Film4 titles. The future is bright. Here’s a film-by-film rundown.

A Most Wanted Man
Anton Corbijn’s spy thriller, about a Chechen Muslim who becomes the subject of serious interest from German and US spy agencies when he illegally immigrates to Hamburg, was harder to get a handle on. But it looked as stylish as you might expect, there were brief looks at the key players, including Rachel McAdams, Daniel Brühl and Willem Dafoe, we got to hear Phillip Seymour Hoffman rocking a German accent, and there was a bit of business with someone being bundled into a car. It may be too early to dub this one this year’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, but the signs are there.

The movie is still without an U.S. distributor, but has found distributors in basically every other part of the world at last year’s Cannes market. The movie is again part of the market at Cannes, so let’s hope it will find an U.S. distributor soon!

“Passion” will be released in August of this year in the U.S. The distributor confirmed this to our twitter account. The official facebook account for the movie mentions August 1st VOD release and August 31st theatrical release, but those seem generic dates to me. Let’s hope we will get an official announcement with firm release dates soon!

The movie premiered during the Venice Film Festival last year, followed by a Toronto and New York Film Festival premiere.

Entertainment.ie will release the very first trailer for “About Time” next Tuesday (May 14) at 9 A.M. (UK time). The movie will be released September 6 in the UK followed by a limited November 1 release in the US and the movie will go wide November 8.

Exclusive trailer time… well almost. Next Tuesday the 14th May at 9am we at entertainment.ie will be bringing you the first trailer for the eagerly awaited movie ‘About Time’, starring our very own Domnhnall Gleeson and the very lovely Rachel McAdams.

Make sure to check back next Tuesday 14th at 9am to be the first to catch the trailer!

We are not sure this is the same trailer as the one that got rated months ago, but we are excited the first trailer will finally be released!

ScreenDaily is reporting that EntertainmentOne set the release date for “A Most Wanted Man” in the UK for November 22, 2013. The movie is opening on the same day as “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire“.

The movie is still without an US distributor, so no release date for the US has been announced but it’s expected to be released in the fall.

Deadline is exclusively reporting that Rachel is in talks to join Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper in the Untitled Cameron Crowe project.

What a cast Cameron Crowe and producer Scott Rudin have cooked up for the film they are prepping at Sony Pictures. Rachel McAdams is in talks to star with Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone. McAdams will play a former lover of Cooper’s character. They’re keeping the plot specifics under wraps, but the role McAdams is negotiation for is a great part and the movie is funny and romantic, with a tone similar to past Crowe films Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous. Crowe wrote the script and will direct the film beginning in October. McAdams is repped by UTA and Magnolia Entertainment.

We already speculated about this a few weeks ago when Rachel was seen meeting with Cameron Crowe and Bradley Cooper in Boston. We have the rumored plot in our previous post.

Screendaily is reporting that “Passion” found a distributor for the UK and Ireland. Metrodome will release the movie in the UK later this year.

Metrodome has picked up UK and Ireland rights to Brian De Palma’s Passion. The deal was negotiated by Carole Baraton from Wild Bunch and Metrodome’s head of acquisitions Giles Edwards. Theatrical release is scheduled for later in the year.

And some news on the US release date: FilmStage reported a few days ago that the US distributor EntertainmentOne is aiming for a July 2013 release for the movie in the US.

But on to the good news: we’ve received word that Brian De Palma‘s Passion, a title anticipated by many around these here parts, is finally coming to U.S. theaters this July, courtesy of eOne. (A specific date is not locked in at this time, though, with distribution handled by a smaller company, competing blockbusters shouldn’t be much of a deterrent in selection.)

Magnolia Pictures has announced today that “To The Wonder” will get a VOD (Video On Demand) release in the US on the same day it will hit selected theaters: on April 12. For more information about Magnolia’s VOD releases be sure to head over to their official website.

In a sign of the times, Magnolia Pictures will release Terrence Malick’s “To the Wonder” both in theaters (April 12) but also ay and date via Video on Demand. The film, starring Ben Affleck, Olga Kurlylenko, Javier Bardem and Rachel McAdams, showed initially at the Venice and Toronto festivals last year, and was acquired by Magnolia shortly thereafter.

Like “Melancholia,” confirms Magnolia President Eamonn Bowles, “To the Wonder” will qualify for the 2013 Oscars. The company anticipates expanding the film to a level similar to most of their releases. “Melancholia” at its widest point played at 134 theaters.

The movie is already released in selected theaters in the UK and France last month. You can find a list of the US theaters on the movie’s official website. This is the first movie for Rachel that will get a VOD release.

The paparazzi photographed Rachel and writer/director Cameron Crowe going for a walk in Boston on Saturday (March 23). We are not allowed to post these on our site, but we will link you to them as soon as another site publishes them. She was spotted later that day with her “Wedding Crashers” co-star Bradley Cooper, who is in Boston to film the untitled David O. Russell project. A fan shared a photo with Rachel on her twitter account that Bradley took of them together.

Emma Stone was also spotted and photographed in Boston on Saturday. Emma and Bradley are currently set to star in the untitled Cameron Crowe Project. We are assuming that they are doing pre-production work for the movie while Bradley is in Boston. The movie is expected to start filming in the Spring of this year.

The Untitled Cameron Crowe project is a rewrite of his 2008 “Deep Tiki” script, you can read a review of the old script, which includes the plot line, over here. Rachel’s attachment to this project is probably in the very early stages, and that’s why I was a little bit hesitant to make this post in the first place, but we take is as a good sign that she met with the director.

Ropesilicon is reporting that MPAA gave “Passion” a R Rating. The Brian de Palma movie premiered during the Venice Film Festival last year and found a distributor after the TIFF ’12 market. Rachel stars in the movie alongside Noomi Rapace and Karoline Herfurth.

Title: Passion
Rating Reason: Rated R for sexual content, language and some violence.
Company: Entertainment One Film USA LLC

No official release date for the US has been announced but BriandePalma.org is reporting that it will be release somewhere in June of this year.

It was previously announced that “About Time” got a new release date in the US. Universal moved the movie from May 10 to November 1 (limted) and November 8 (wide) in the US. The movie was previously set for a March 22 in the UK but it’s pushed back to September 6, 2013 according to Film Distributor Association. The new UK date is also confirmed by Empire Magazine. Thanks to Nick for the heads up!

Rachel’s co-star Domhnall Gleeson recently gave an interview to HeyUGuys and he also talked a little bit about the movie.

So what can you let us know about Frank, Calvary, About Time and the other projects you’ve got coming up?
Well they’re all very different, I mean, About Time is a comedy, but it’s also kind of very deep and beautiful, about all these relationships and I had a wonderful time filming that with Richard Curtis and Rachel McAdams – with all these incredible people, I had a brilliant time on that [...]
