Paradise City Sales (formerly Memento International) has boarded Warwick Thornton’s “Wolfram: A Sequel to Sweet Country,” following his 2017 movie which won Venice’s special jury prize and Toronto’s Platform prize.

Currently filming in Australia, around Alice Springs, “Wolfram” is a colonial thriller set in the 1930’s, four years after the events of “Sweet Country” and revolving around David Tranter’s Alyawarra family history. It follows three irrepressible kids who escape from their cruel white masters and embark on a journey across the sweet country of central Australia to try and find a safe

home.

The film stars Deborah Mailman (“The New Boy”), Thomas M. Wright (“Sleeping Dogs”), Pedrea

In addition to Brammall and Dyer, season two starred Emma Harvie, Genevieve Hegney, Michael Logo, Helen Thomson, Darren Gilshenan, and Annie Maynard. Tai Hara, Glenn Hazeldine, Celeste Barber, Virginia Gay, Justin Rosniak, John Howard, Lynne Porteus, and Broden Kelly rounded out the ensemble.

The news was verified by Patrick Brammall and Harriet Dyer, the real-life couple who serve as writers and executive producers for the show in addition to starring.

Colin from Accounts is a romantic comedy about flawed, funny people choosing each other and embracing the all-too-relatable chaos of modern life.

Chris Hemsworth is trading in his God of Thunder persona, Stormbreaker and Mjölnir to portray the despicable leader of the Biker Horde in the upcoming Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The warlord known as Dementus was a character that Hemsworth actually found while doing something very unorthodox for the actor. Hemsworth turned to journaling as Warlord Dementus at the behest of the film’s director, George Miller. Hemsworth said in an interview with Total Film magazine (via GamesRadar+):

"George [Miller] suggested to me to journal as the character, which I hadn't done before. It was 2 a.m. one night. I was awake, and I just put pen to paper, and just started scribbling down thoughts and ideas as Dementus. I didn't think much of it. I went to sleep, and woke up, and was quite shocked at what came out of me in that half-asleep state. I went into rehearsal,...

Update, 5:30 Pm Pacific: A corrupted file is being blamed from the massive shutdown of US air transportation this morning.

“The Faa is continuing a thorough review to determine the root cause of the Notice to Air Missions (Notam) system outage. Our preliminary work has traced the outage to a damaged database file. At this time, there is no evidence of a cyberattack. The Faa is working diligently to further pinpoint the causes of this issue and take all needed steps to prevent this kind of disruption from happening again,” the statement read.

Flights were grounded after the corrupted file was discovered in the Notam main and backup system. Flights already in the air were permitted to land.

Update: The Faa said that “normal air traffic operations are resuming” after an unusual overnight computer system outage forced the grounding of all departing flights in the United States for much of the early morning.

Delores Hughes, a star of the reality series Hollywood Hillbillies who was also known as “Mema,” died Wednesday, Nov. 9 at the age of 76.

Phillip Noyce’s 2002 film brought the stolen generations into the mainstream. The director, stars and others discuss the film – and its aftermath

Get our weekend culture and lifestyle email

By the turn of the new century, Australia was waking up to the full extent of the suffering of the stolen generations.

The Bringing Them Home report was released in 1997; the following year the first National Sorry Day was held; and in 2000 a quarter of a million Australians walked across Sydney Harbour Bridge in support of meaningful reconciliation. Even the conservative prime minister John Howard was forced to acknowledge that the systematic seizure of First Nations children – a practice that continues in a different name to this day – represents “the most blemished chapter in the history of this country”.

It’s a wonder movie from the 1930s, a political fantasy that imagines a Utopia of peace and kindness hidden away in a distant mountain range — or in our daydreams. Sony’s new restoration is indeed impressive. Ronald Colman is seduced by a vision of a non-sectarian Heaven on Earth, while Savant indulges his anti-Frank Capra grumblings in his admiring but hesitant review essay.

Ronald Colman: Turner Classic Movies' Star of the Month in two major 1930s classics Updated: Turner Classic Movies' July 2017 Star of the Month is Ronald Colman, one of the finest performers of the studio era. On Thursday night, TCM presented five Colman star vehicles that should be popping up again in the not-too-distant future: A Tale of Two Cities, The Prisoner of Zenda, Kismet, Lucky Partners, and My Life with Caroline. The first two movies are among not only Colman's best, but also among Hollywood's best during its so-called Golden Age. Based on Charles Dickens' classic novel, Jack Conway's Academy Award-nominated A Tale of Two Cities (1936) is a rare Hollywood production indeed: it manages to effectively condense its sprawling source, it boasts first-rate production values, and it features a phenomenal central performance. Ah, it also shows its star without his trademark mustache – about as famous at the time as Clark Gable's. Perhaps...

Fox’s first official monster movie is a terrific-looking but mostly flat mystery that tries its utmost not to be a horror film at all. It’s a head scratcher that will interest fans of the expressive John Brahm, and help completists scratch another werewolf film off their gotta-see lists.

After the heyday of Universal horror in the first half of the 1930s, horror pictures went on the decline for over twenty years.

Billy Wilder directed Sunset Blvd. with Gloria Swanson and William Holden. Billy Wilder and Charles Brackett movies Below is a list of movies on which Charles Brackett and Billy Wilder worked together as screenwriters, including efforts for which they did not receive screen credit. The Wilder-Brackett screenwriting partnership lasted from 1938 to 1949. During that time, they shared two Academy Awards for their work on The Lost Weekend (1945) and, with D.M. Marshman Jr., Sunset Blvd. (1950). More detailed information further below. Post-split years Billy Wilder would later join forces with screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond in movies such as the classic comedy Some Like It Hot (1959), the Best Picture Oscar winner The Apartment (1960), and One Two Three (1961), notable as James Cagney's last film (until a brief comeback in Milos Forman's Ragtime two decades later). Although some of these movies were quite well received, Wilder's later efforts – which also included The Seven Year Itch...

Virginia Bruce: MGM actress ca. 1935. Virginia Bruce movies on TCM: Actress was the cherry on 'The Great Ziegfeld' wedding cake Unfortunately, Turner Classic Movies has chosen not to feature any non-Hollywood stars – or any out-and-out silent film stars – in its 2015 “Summer Under the Stars” series.* On the other hand, TCM has come up with several unusual inclusions, e.g., Lee J. Cobb, Warren Oates, Mae Clarke, and today, Aug. 25, Virginia Bruce. A second-rank MGM leading lady in the 1930s, the Minneapolis-born Virginia Bruce is little remembered today despite her more than 70 feature films in a career that spanned two decades, from the dawn of the talkie era to the dawn of the TV era, in addition to a handful of comebacks going all the way to 1981 – the dawn of the personal computer era. Career highlights were few and not all that bright. Examples range from playing the...

Adolphe Menjou movies today (This article is currently being revised.) Despite countless stories to the contrary, numerous silent film performers managed to survive the coming of sound. Adolphe Menjou, however, is a special case in that he not only remained a leading man in the early sound era, but smoothly made the transition to top supporting player in mid-decade, a position he would continue to hold for the quarter of a century.

Philadelphia Story (1940) earned Jimmy Stewart his only Best Actor Oscar as Macauley Connor – a tabloid reporter for ‘Spy’ Magazine, and also won the Best Screenplay Oscar. Directed by George Cukor (Oscar nominated), Philadelphia Story is set among the privileged upper class society in Philadelphia. Hepburn’s character, a self-willed young aristocratic heiress (nicknamed ‘Red’ by her ex-husband), is on the verge of a second marriage. The Philadelphia socialite has divorced her dashing, colorful, pompous, playboyish husband (Cary Grant) and become involved with a solitary, self-made and dull business tycoon/millionaire (John Howard). The plot thickens and becomes complicated when her irresponsible ex-husband appears on the eve of the wedding, with intentions to keep her shielded from an overly-ambitious, cynical tabloid newshound (James Stewart) – a second male principal who is also vying for Hepburn’s love on the day (and night) leading up to the ceremony.

We loves stills. And The Undying Monster.

You can’t go wrong with a werewolf picture, even when it’s one that’s a shameless knock-off of the Universal classic, recasting The Wolf Man as The Undying Monster in a classic pose your monster-loving pop subconsciousness is going to find awfully familiar.

Look:

John Howard (maybe) strikes a classic pose on a foggy set. Indeed, Lucien Ballard’s atmospheric photography and John Brahm’s fluid direction do a lot to hide the B-picture origins of 20th Century Fox’s attempt to imitate The Wolf Man. I saw this on tv during the 50s long before the Universal pictures hit the tube and thought it was pretty cool. There’s a curse on the Hammond family, who live in a big manor house on the moors and are being knocked off by..something fuzzy.

There's a lot of crazy preparation that goes into planning a single wedding, along with a ton of money from mommy and daddy in order to afford it half of the time. As joyous of an occasion the ceremony may appear to be, it's more or less one of the most stressful, hair-pulling times in a person's life, or at least that's what film leads us to believe. The engagement-to-wedding road has been thrown onto film so many times it could take the form of persons and fill up an entire Disneyland park. Despite that, it's still such a juicy kind of topic that many films love to twist around throughout the decades due to the endless acts of mayhem that could happen between a man getting down on one knee to when he finally says "I do." That's why there's a considerable few disasters that have taken place during...
