Sundance First Look: Cate Shortland’s ‘Berlin Syndrome’ Starring Teresa Palmer
1 December 2016 9:41 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Aussie filmmaker Cate Shortland, who has been behind the camera for “Somersault” and “Lore,” is a director we keep a keen eye on. However, we expected her latest film, “Berlin Syndrome,” to have popped up on the festival circuit by now. Shot all the way back in the spring of 2015, not much has been heard about the picture since that time, but we’re very excited that it will be making its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next month.

Ben Aflleck's Solo Batman Movie Won't Feature Catwoman
19 November 2016 6:46 AM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
It seems Ben Affleck's Live By Night co-star Sienna Miller wanted in on Affleck's upcoming Batman film but apparently received word back from Affleck that Selina Kyle is not in his script. Sienna Miller told me tonight that she wants to play Catwoman in Affleck's Batman movie. "She's not in the script but I wanna write her in!" — ErikDavis (@ErikDavis) November 19, 2016 Previously, actress Teresa Palmer, who was set to play Talia Al Ghul in George Miller's defunct Justice League Mortal film, expressed an interest in playing Talia in the Dceu but there are reportedly no plans to introduce her either (or her father Ra's) in Affleck's Batman movie. Admittedly, not much is known about Affleck's plans for his standalone Batman film other than the fact that it will feature Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke and J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon. It »
The Lrm Interview: Arrival Screenwriter Eric Heisserer
8 November 2016 8:37 AM, PST | LRMonline.com | See recent LRM Online news »
Screenwriter Eric Heisserer didn’t have a fast and easy path to success in Hollywood, and like many writers who go out to the land of dreams, he had been writing scripts “on spec” for years before he started getting credited screenwriting work. His first paid job was writing the screenplay for the 2008 A Nightmare on Elm Street remake, and he remained working in horror by writing The Thing prequel and Final Destination 5. (He also wrote and produced the recent horror hit Lights Out.)
At the same time, Heisserer continued to work on his own dream projects, including an adaptation of Ted Chiang’s short sci-fi story “The Story of Your Life,” and after years of development, Sicario director Denis Villeneuve expressed interest in making a movie on the story and they were off to the races for what would become Arrival.

‘Hacksaw Ridge’ Review: We Don’t Need No Stinking Guns
4 November 2016 11:16 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
The true story of Desmond Doss is one of amazing heroism and courage. During a particularly bloody, violent battle in Okinawa, Japan, during WWII, Doss, a conscientious objector who refused to even touch a gun, saved 75 soldiers by using his brain, his body, and his faith. His story is one that resonates even to this day as our war culture continues decades after the worst conflict this planet has ever seen. In the new Mel Gibson film Hacksaw Ridge, Doss's story is finally told, and his incredible act of heroism makes for a wonderfully brutal war film, that may go down as one of the best ever filmed.
Hacksaw Ridge stars Andrew Garfield (Amazing Spider-Man, 99 Homes) as Desmond, a young man from Virginia who falls for a young nurse (Teresa Palmer), and enlists in the Army solely because that's what his friends did. His enlisting doesn't settle well with his abusive, »
Movie Review – Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
4 November 2016 5:15 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Hacksaw Ridge. 2016.
Directed by Mel Gibson.
Starring Andrew Garfield, Hugo Weaving, Vince Vaughn, Teresa Palmer, and Sam Worthington.
Synopsis:
WWII American Army Medic Desmond T. Doss, who served during the Battle of Okinawa, refuses to kill people and becomes the first Conscientious Objector in American history to be awarded the Medal of Honor.
No one engulfs us into the searing horrors of war quite like director Mel Gibson (Braveheart), and it’s clear right from the opening frames of Hacksaw Ridge – complete with bloodied bodies lying motionless all around the battlefield that is Okinawa – that the message of the film isn’t one of traditional action machismo heroics, but another terrorizing experience condemning the act of war. The hero himself, Desmond Doss (played by Andrew Garfield from the recent Spider-Man films that seemingly no one gave two shits about, except here with a highly convincing Virginian drawl accent) is a pacifist, »

Hacksaw Ridge – Review

Hacksaw Ridge tells the true story of Private Desmond Doss, a medic who won the Congressional Medal of Honor for saving 75 men on Okinawa during World War II. What sets this heroic story apart is that Doss was a pacifist who refused to even carry a gun, much less fire one, yet won the right to serve and then the respect of his fellow soldiers for his bravery and compassion.
Mel Gibson directs Hacksaw Ridge yet the film has the sepia-toned look and historic epic sensibility of a Clint Eastwood film. Patriotism, courage and faith are big themes in this war epic. However, by the time we reach the Okinawa battlefield, we definitely know we are watching a Mel Gibson film. Gibson’s taste for plenty of guts with the glory is legendary. »

The Lrm Interview: Teresa Palmer on Mel Gibson’s Hacksaw Ridge
3 November 2016 8:00 AM, PDT | LRMonline.com | See recent LRM Online news »
When filmmaker Mel Gibson decided to tell the World War II story of Desmond Doss, a brave soldier who saved 75 of his company at the battle of Hacksaw Ridge in Okinawa, Japan, he made the choice to return home to Australia to do it. In doing so, he also ended up hiring some of Australia’s finest talent, including Hugo Weaving and Rachel Griffiths.
Another one of the film’s Australian cast is actress Teresa Palmer, who was able to break into Hollywood earlier in her career with roles in Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the young adult films I Am Number Four and Warm Bodies.
In Hacksaw Ridge, she plays Dorothy Schutte, the eventual wife of Andrew Garfield’s Desmond Doss. She’s a nurse Desmond meets and falls for, and whose work inspires him to go to war as a combat medic, while sticking to his »

Hacksaw Ridge Review: Director Mel Gibson Returns to Greatness
1 November 2016 7:52 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Mel Gibson returns to directing greatness with the powerfully moving Hacksaw Ridge. It is the fascinating true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield), the first Conscientious Objector to win the Medal of Honor; the highest commendation in the U.S. military. This film is horrifying in its depiction of war. The Battle of Okinawa is unfiltered carnage, an ultra-realistic slaughter that will shock the most jaded of audiences. Against this bloodbath we see the triumph of values and faith; where a man's heroism is judged by the lives he saved, not the enemy killed.
Desmond Doss was a deeply religious country boy from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. His alcoholic father (Hugo Weaving) suffered tremendous Ptsd from his service in World War I. When Doss came of age in World War II, he and his brother (Nathaniel Buzolic) enlisted against his father's wishes. Doss volunteered as a conscientious objector. »

'Hacksaw Ridge' Review: Mel Gibson Returns With a War Movie About Peace
1 November 2016 10:33 AM, PDT | Rollingstone.com | See recent Rolling Stone news »
Mel Gibson is back, directing the bloody hell out of a war movie about ... peace. You may have issues with the star's past history of anger and intolerance. But you'll have no issue with Hacksaw Ridge, a movie about a different kind of brave heart. It's the fact-based, World War II story of Private First Class Desmond T. Doss, the first conscientious objector to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor. Andrew Garfield, in the best performance of his career to date, plays Desmond, a feisty kid out of Virginia's Blue »

Lost in the Dark: How Horror Movies Are Hiding the Best Performances of 2016
27 October 2016 12:08 PM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that “The Monster” boasts (at least) one of the year’s best performances, but it does. In fact, that revelation arrives with as much of a jolt as any of the film’s immaculately-timed jump scares, which writer-director Bryan Bertino (“The Strangers”) unleashes with the discretion of a master and the patience of a monk. Like any great twist, it hides in plain sight from the start, and like any great twist, it reveals itself with maximum impact, delivering the chilly kind of shudder that doesn’t shake off with the closing credits.
Zoe Kazan plays Kathy, a ferocious alcoholic who looks at her bright young daughter as though the little girl were nothing but a symptom of the particularly stubborn hangover that she’s been trying to shake for the better part of a decade. Less of a mother to Lizzy (Ella Ballentine »

Teresa Palmer Lobbying For Role Opposite Ben Affleck In The Batman
26 October 2016 8:02 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Anna Kendrick isn’t the only actress in the mix for Ben Affleck’s The Batman; Teresa Palmer, star of Lights Out, Triple 9 and imminent war drama Hacksaw Ridge, is lobbying for a role opposite Affleck’s Caped Crusader in the forthcoming solo movie.
Chatting to Screen Rant, the actress revealed her desire to bring a new spin to Talia Al Ghul (Aka Miranda Tate), the duplicitous anti-hero last portrayed on the big screen by Marion Cotillard four years ago for The Dark Knight Rises. Daughter to supervillain Ra’s al Ghul and on-off love interest to Bruce Wayne, it remains to be seen whether Talia will filter into the story of Affleck’s hotly-anticipated spinoff. Should the opportunity ever present itself, though, Palmer is very much on board.
“I was going to be her. I think Marion Cotillard played, I don’t know how to pronounce her last name by the way… »

Teresa Palmer Wants To Play Talia Al Ghul In The Batman, But The Character Isn't On The Dceu's Radar
25 October 2016 7:16 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Teresa Palmer (Wolf Creek, Triple 9, Hacksaw Ridge) was originally in line to play Batman villain Talia al Ghul in Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller's Justice League: Mortal before the project was scrapped, and it seems the Aussie actress still has designs on the role. During an interview with Screen Rant, Palmer informed the site that she's officially campaigning to play Talia in Ben Affleck's solo Batman movie, and asked them to get the word out. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but there might be a slight problem there. According to The Wrap, Warner Brothers has no plans to include the character - nor her father Ra's - in The Batman, or in any other Dceu movie for the foreseeable future. This could have something to do with how prominently they factored into the overarching plot of Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy, and »

Talia al Ghul Won’t Be in ‘The Batman’ — or Any DC Movie Anytime Soon

Talia al Ghul, the scheming daughter of ageless Bat-villain Ra’s al Ghul, won’t appear in Ben Affleck‘s upcoming “The Batman” or anywhere in the DC Cinematic Universe anytime soon, TheWrap has learned. In an interview with Screen Rant, actress Teresa Palmer talked about her interest in taking on the role played by Marion Cotillard in “The Dark Knight Rises.” In the comics, Talia al Ghul is the mother of Bruce Wayne’s son, Damian Wayne. “I was going to be her.

With DC Films‘ “The Batman” gearing up to shoot next spring, we still don’t know many details, except that it will feature Joe Manganiello as Deathstroke, and that Ben Affleck has cowritten the script, will direct, and of course will wear the cape and cowl. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s getting friends and strangers ringing him up to see if there any available roles.
