Hollywood has invaded Walpole’s neighbors over the last few months as Academy Award winning director Martin Scorsese begins to wrap up shooting for his new movie “Ashecliffe.”
Simple yellow signs with the word “Ashe” typed on them have been directing cast and crew to filming locations in Medfield and Sharon over the past few months.
“Ashecliffe” is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s bestselling novel “Shutter Island.”
Lehane is a Dorchester native who has also written the Boston-centric flicks “Mystic River,” and “Gone Baby Gone.”
His newest drama is set in 1954 and follows U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels investigating the disappearance of a murderess and mental patient who has escaped from an institution on a remote Boston Harbor island. Daniels and his partner, Chuck Aule, run into trouble when they are deceived by hospital workers, and an inmate riot and a hurricane trap them on the island.
Daniels is being played by Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio. Mark Ruffalo portrays Aule. Michelle Williams and Ben Kingsley will act in supporting roles.
Those of you who have seen Brick will know that Rian Johnson has a bit of a gift for re-inventing genres. With his first movie, the writer director brought a hip highschool spin to film noir and with The Brothers Bloom he casts his peculiar eye over the con movie. Expect mucho weirdness, of the good kind.
As you can see from these exclusive pics, The Brothers Bloom stars Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as a pair of sibling con artists. Ruffalo is Stephen, a happy-go-lucky swindler, while his brother Bloom (Brody) is the more sensitive of the pair, getting attached to each of his marks and often getting his heart broken. And when the latest victim of their nefarious ways is Rachel Weisz, a bored heiress in search of adventure, you can see why. That the film also stars Rinko Kikuchi (Babel) as a largely mute conwoman with a penchant for karaoke gives you a pretty good idea of the tone to expect. The flick’s set for release October 24th and the official site is partially online.
A film crew climbed Wilson Mountain yesterday to shoot a new Martin Scorsese flick based on the 2004 novel “Shutter Island” written by Dennis Lehane, who also penned the popular “Mystic River.”
Parks and Recreation Department Administrative Assistant Millie Smart spotted “Goodfellas” director Scorsese from her office window yesterday morning in the parking lot using the back of her car as a makeshift desk to study scripts and maps.
And Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation Robert Stanley caught a few glimpses of the legendary director sitting in a black Mercedes in the parking lot of the Wilson Mountain recreation area off Rte. 135.
The Paramount Pictures production company was using the state-owned land to film a scene with actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo, playing two U.S. marshals in the wooded area.
Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams are attached to star in writer-director Noah Baumbach’s next feature, “Greenburg,” for producer Scott Rudin.
Plot details are under wraps for the film, which is said to be a relationship comedy-drama. UTA is shopping the project in Cannes and financing is currently being assembled. While no timetable is set for principal photography, Rudin is aiming to shoot later this year.
Rudin produced “Margot at the Wedding,” Baumbach’s 2007 follow-up to his breakthrough drama “The Squid and the Whale.”
Adams is now shooting another Rudin project, Columbia’s “Julie and Julia,” and is set to wrap “Night at the Museum 2: Escape from the Smithsonian” by this fall. Ruffalo is filming Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” for Paramount.
Fernando Meirelles did boys with guns in “City of God” and murderous corporations in “The Constant Gardener.”
With “Blindness,” the opening night entry at the Cannes Film Festival, the Brazilian director exposes the world’s ultimate savages: your friends and neighbors.
A terrifying fable about how low people might go to stay alive when a plague of blindness turns them into helpless internees, “Blindness” presents an unnerving reflection of real tragedy and bureaucratic heartlessness, from Hurricane Katrina to global food shortages to the cyclone in Myanmar, where the military government has severely restricted relief efforts.
MARK RUFFALO and Julianne Moore are traipsing through a rubbish-strewn urban wasteland, scavenging for salvation. All around them, dozens of pitiful humans dressed in filthy, mismatched clothes grope their way past wrecked cars and graffiti-splattered highway ramps, like dancers in some grotesque ballet of the damned.
It is not a pretty sight, but it is impossible to avert your eyes - which is exactly the point. The director, Fernando Meirelles, and his camera crew are gearing up to shoot another take of Blindness, a feature film based on the harrowing 1995 parable about an unnamed city stricken with a plague of sightlessness, by the Portuguese Nobel Prize-winning author Jose Saramago. Like nearly everyone in the film, Ruffalo’s character, an ophthalmologist known simply as “the doctor”, is afflicted with a terrifying malady in which the eyes appear normal but are coated with a milky whiteness that blocks out vision.
Speculation was mounting last night that Brazilian film-maker Fernando Meirelles’ adaptation of Jose Saramago’s bestselling mystery Blindness will open the Cannes international film festival on May 14.
Meirelles’s latest offering was among a handful of notable absentees when the bulk of the competition and out-of-competition lineup was unveiled earlier this week. Blindness and Agnes Varda’s autobiographical documentary Les Plages d’Agnes are both ready and had been widely expected to secure berths in the festival.
Now it seems that Meirelles’ tale of a bizarre blindness pandemic may figure more prominently than had originally been predicted. Sources in the industry believe the film will open proceedings on the Croisette and take its place alongside Steven Soderbergh’s Che double feature, Clint Eastwood’s The Changeling and Wim Wenders’ The Palermo Shooting.
Meirelles’ sprawling Rio crime drama City of God screened at Cannes in 2002 and he followed that up three years later with his first English-language film The Constant Gardener.
Blindness stars Julianne Moore as the only person who is not affected by a blindness pandemic that afflicts an entire town. Mark Ruffalo, Gael Garcia Bernal, Danny Glover and Sandra Oh also star.
I just added 1900+ screencaptures from this amazing movie to the gallery. If you haven’t saw it, please do it! The movie is so powerfull, and Mark is simply amazing, touching!
