Spike Lee indicted the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences during his acceptance speech for an honorary Oscar Saturday night for its apparent disregard for nominating people of color.
"Everybody here probably voted for Obama," he said at the conclusion of his 18-minute turn at the podium. "But in [Hollywood] offices, I see no black folks except for the man who's the security guard who checks my name off the list as I got into the studio.

First Look: Liam Neeson in Martin Scorsese's Period Epic, 'Silence'
7 hours ago | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
Liam Neeson's pleading eyes may not say a thousand words, but they add another layer of texture to the Martin Scorsese's highly anticipated "Silence," based on Shūsaku Endō's 1966 novel about Portuguese Jesuits who face violence and persecution while on a mission to remote 17th century Japan. With the lush surrounds (filmed on location in Taiwan) and period detail, the filmmaker's passion project—which he's wanted to make for nearly two decades—appears more compelling by the day.

29th Leeds International Film Festival Review – Black Mass (2015)
7 hours ago | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Black Mass, 2015.
Directed by Scott Cooper.
Starring Johnny Depp, Joel Edgerton, Benedict Cumberbatch, Rory Cochrane, Kevin Bacon, Jesse Plemons, Corey Stoll, Peter Sarsgaard and Dakota Johnson.
Synopsis:
The true story of James ‘Whitey’ Bulger, the notorious gangster who used his status as a FBI informant under John Connolly to take over South Boston.
Black Mass is a very strange film. It’s a typical gangster film, right down the hard-boiled dialogue and era-specific music cues. But it’s one that comes dangerously close to hero-worship about one of the most psychopathic gangsters of all time.
Told in flashbacks, as various members of Whitey’s crew recall specific time periods while being interrogated by the FBI, it can be difficult to keep track of who’s telling what. But the film brings it all together in sometimes too straightforward narration that summarizes key scenes while they’re happening in front of us. »

First Look At A Bearded Liam Neeson In Martin Scorsese’s Religious Drama Silence
7 hours ago | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Production has now wrapped on the set of Martin Scorsese’s passion project Silence, the auteur’s high-profile adaptation of the eponymous novel by Shûsaku Endô, and after giving us an image of Andrew Garfield’s Jesuit priest, Collider has unveiled the first official still of Liam Neeson as a bearded and gaunt mentor.
Set in 17th century Nagasaki, Japan, Scorsese’s awards-friendly tale orbits around Garfield’s pilgrimage to find his wayward mentor, a gruelling experience he will share with Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ Adam Driver. Disillusioned and at his wits’ end, Neeson’s deeply religious lead is hoping to spread the salvation of Christianity, though his character finds himself conflicted with the role that god plays in his life, questioning his once-unyielding faith in the process.
Indeed, Neeson isn’t the only Gangs Of New York talent to be involved in Silence, either, given that Jay Cocks »

Bridge of Spies, Jane Got a Gun, Steve Jobs junkets cancelled.
Most Paris cinemas were due to reopen their doors on Monday in the aftermath of terror attacks on the French capital that killed at least 132 people and left 350 injured, 99 severely.
In a campaign to mark France’s three days of national mourning, which entered its final day on Monday, the National Federation for French Cinemas (Fncf) announced it was making available a silent, seven-minute Dcp showing the “Peace for Paris” symbol and suggested cinemas played the clip ahead of screenings.

22 hours ago | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
One of Martin Scorsese‘s longest-gestating projects, his priest drama Silence, finally completed production earlier this year, and with the director currently in the editing room, we have a few more updates on the film. An adaptation of Shûsaku Endô‘s novel, the story follows Andrew Garfield as Father Rodrigues, a 17th-century Portuguese Jesuit who travels to Japan with a fellow priest amid rumors that Rodrigues’ mentor has abandoned the Church.
While at a press conference at Las Ventanas Hotel, Variety picked up some comments from Liam Neeson, who plays the aforementioned mentor. Scorsese “gives 200%. All he requires is that you give 100%,” Neeson said, who lost 20 pounds for the role. “He’s intimidating. He requires absolute silence on the set — if he hears one tiny sound, it shatters it for him.”
With the production clocking in at around $51 million, it’s said that Scorsese is angling towards a Cannes debut, »

See How Much Weight Liam Neeson Lost For Martin Scorsese's Silence
15 November 2015 2:40 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's no secret that many actors tend to seriously commit to their roles when working with director Martin Scorsese. Let's not forget that Robert De Niro famously gained 60 pounds for his part in Raging Bull. Well, it turns out that Liam Neeson went in the opposite direction in that regard for his part in Silence, and actually dropped a full 20 pounds for his role in the period piece. You can get your first look at the results in the image from Paramount Pictures below: Covering the Los Cabos Film Festival this past weekend, Variety got some details from Liam Neeson about his part in the next Martin Scorsese movie, and described the commitment that the Silence director expected from both himself and his cast. The actor mentioned that he wasn't alone in dropping serious pounds for the drama, as he was joined by his co-stars Andrew Garfield and Adam Driver »

Neeson Talks Scorsese's "Silence" Shoot
15 November 2015 7:21 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Liam Neeson appeared at the Los Cabos Film Festival on Saturday to talk about Martin Scorsese's long-in-the-works historical drama "Silence" which has almost wrapped its lengthy shoot.
For the physically demanding shoot, the already lean Neeson dropped 20 pounds to portray a Jesuit missionary who has reportedly forsaken his faith. Co-stars Adam Driver and Andrew Garfield were similarly reduced to "a piece of wire" in terms of getting skinny.
Talking about Scorsese's work ethic, Neeson says: "[Scorsese] gives 200%. All he requires is that you give 100%. He’s intimidating. He requires absolute silence on the set - if he hears one tiny sound, it shatters it for him." However he believes the filmmaker is immensely proud of the movie: "it's Marty's true legacy."
Based on Shusaku Endo's 1966 novel, the film has a $51 million budget - failry high for an independently produced feature. Shot mostly around Taiwan, a facsimile of a 17th century »
