Én már annak örülök, h. egyáltalán játsszák, alig fél évvel a bemutató után. Számos általam várt filmet be se mutatnak egyáltalán itthon, vagy csak sok év múlva, vagy csak videón jön ki. Örülni kell inkább, h. végre újra láthatjuk :-)
sz.v.sz. a The Shipping News-ban is nagyon jó volt.
Sziasztok! Nem tudjátok, hol lehet még kapni feliratos verzióban az Amerikai szépséget? Ajándék lenne, nagy öröm, meg minden, de ez a szinkronos annyira gány, hogy nincs pofám ilyet adni. Előre is köszi!
ezt láttam a hétvégén :-)

10/7 (persze elfogultan) :-)
Bobby Darin's widow Sandra Dee is locked in a bitter battle with actor Kevin Spacey - because she doesn't want Drew Barrymore to portray her in a biopic of her late husband's life. Spacey bought the rights to star as the legendary '50s crooner, who died at the age of 37. But, according to American tabloid the Star, problems arose when Charlie's Angels star Barrymore was approached by Spacey to take on the role of young Dee in Beyond The Sea. Outraged Dee reportedly thinks Barrymore is far too "worldly" and feels Legally Blonde beauty Reese Witherspoon would come across much more innocent.
igen igen, körvonalazódni látszik a kevin által hôn áhított bobby darin projekt, amit ô fog rendezni!!! és persze fôszerepelni!!! és énekelni is fog benne!!! juhi :-))
a hír:
Truth or Darin
Spacey finally launches Bobby Darin biopic.
Kevin Spacey has been talking for five years about playing 1950s and '60s pop icon Bobby Darin in a biopic. Now, he tells Variety, the project is finally getting off the ground, having finally found financing for what he says is the film's ''considerable'' budget. He says he'll direct and star in ''Beyond the Sea'' in June.
Darin, whose hits included ''Beyond the Sea,'' ''Mack the Knife,'' ''Splish Splash,'' and ''Dream Lover,'' was a Grammy-winning performer who straddled the worlds of early rock & roll and traditional pop. He also made movies (he was nominated for an Oscar for his supporting role in 1963's ''Captain Newman, M.D.'') and married the actress Sandra Dee. Spacey is expected to sing several Darin hits in the movie.
Spacey, a Darin fan who has sung ''That Old Black Magic'' at seemingly every opportunity -- during a stint hosting ''Saturday Night Live,'' at benefits, and even on the soundtrack of ''Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil'' -- is 43, six years older than Darin was when he died of complications from a lifelong heart ailment after surgery in 1973. He tells Variety, ''Bobby always looked a little older -- but if I waited any more I might be too old.''
Actor Kevin Spacey takes center stage in his new role as artistic director of London's Old Vic theater
BY AISHA LABI
Great musicians know that the rooms where they play have personalities — bright or dull or warm or clear. Great actors say the same thing about the theaters where they work. And when Kevin Spacey explains why he just became artistic director of London's Old Vic theater — and why he wants to rescue the splendid old place from the ravages of time — he talks about its acoustic character. "There are some theaters where an actor's voice goes out into a void," he says. "You can't feel where it's going, and therefore can't control how the performance is modulated. You learn to manipulate and modify your voice — its energy and rhythm, its highs and lows and vocal quality — so the actual acoustical place you're in can either help or hurt you. Well, at the Vic, it's definitely on your side."
Laurence Olivier called it the Old Vic's "sweet spot" — a place Spacey situates somewhere "downstage center," where an actor can most easily make that crucial connection with the audience. "What is unique about the Old Vic is that you know you've got them. You can feel it. And when it's silent, it's silent." Except, that is, when mobile phones start ringing, as happened once too often during a performance of Eugene O'Neill's The Iceman Cometh at the Old Vic in 1998. "It was at a particularly inappropriate, quiet moment," Spacey says. "I looked up — you don't usually want to do this, but it had been building up for weeks — and said as loudly as I had said anything on stage: 'Tell them we're busy,' for which we got applause. But then you heard the rustling of everyone trying to make sure their phones were turned off."
Spacey first set foot in the Old Vic as a child growing up in California's San Fernando Valley, during one of the periodic trips to London his theater-loving parents took with their three children. "I was so young I don't remember specific productions as much as I remember the spectacle of it and the pageantry of it and how it was such an amazing and beautiful theater," he says. The experience helped turn Spacey into a self-described "theater rat," and one of his priorities at the Old Vic will be to encourage attendance among young people. Iceman's acclaimed 1998 run, in both New York and London, featured subsidized student tickets that included some of the choicest seats in the house. "When you have a youthful, eager, excited audience in the front row, you infect the entire room with a kind of energy, and it also affects the actors," says Spacey. During Iceman — his first appearance onstage at the Old Vic — Spacey was asked to sit on the board of the theater, which had recently changed ownership. "I suspect they were reacting in part to the fact that we had lines around the block for Iceman and suddenly the theater was packed," says Spacey, acknowledging that his movie- star status and two Academy Awards help draw crowds to the theater.
I remember how the Old Vic was such an amazing and beautiful theater
— KEVIN SPACEY
Spacey's newest film, The Life of David Gale, co-starring Kate Winslet, premiered last week at the Berlin Film Festival. After a string of critical and commercial successes culminating in American Beauty (1999), the critical reception for his last few movies was mixed; Gale, which deals with the death penalty in the U.S., is getting positive buzz. "I've always believed good politics makes bad theater," says Spacey. "I wanted to do it because of [director Alan] Parker. Whenever he has a social injustice or political issue at the center of a film, he manages to make that stuff hide and make the film about people and emotions, so the politics becomes almost subversive. And maybe in a drama, people will walk out of a movie like this and just start talking about the issue."
Spacey prefers theater to films "handsdown" and concedes that there have been movie roles he'd rather forget, but refuses to get into specifics. "Sometimes, even if I don't like something, audiences might," he says. "There's no reason that I should take away their experience just because it wasn't mine, so I try never to be dismissive of work that I've done or the people I've worked with."
Spacey also won't divulge any details of what he has in mind for the Old Vic. The theater has foundered since its glory days of the '30s, '50s and '60s, when its resident repertory company provided an artistic base for luminaries like Olivier, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson and Maggie Smith. Although the Old Vic has continued to attract top performers, it hasn't housed its own company since 1998 and has lacked a unifying creative vision. Its walls are decaying from damp and it needs a new roof — which means that if London's famously inclement weather sets in, some members of the Old Vic audience are as likely to experience an indoor drizzle as a memorable performance. Spacey will be looking to the Labour government to pitch in with funds that it has previously denied the theater. As ever, he chooses his words carefully, and his message is straightforward: "We're putting together a company, we have an artistic director, we have a vision. Now help us fix the roof."
Kevin Spaceyt, az Oscar-díjas színészt választották a londoni Old Vic színház igazgatójának. Kinevezését szerdán közölték, közvetlenül a színház igazgatótanácsi elnöke, Elton John koncertje előtt. Spacey egyik fő feladata a színház bevételeinek emelése lesz, hogy felújíthassák a 185 éves intézményt.
ha esetleg valaki ma délben jár a sundance fesztiválon, láthatja Kev új filmjét, a united states of leland-ot (aminek a producere is), habár minden jegy elkelt már rá... :-)
és ha esetleg beleütközik egy ilyen fazonba, kérjen már nekem is egy autogramot:
Jé, egy ismerős :-)
Múlt hétvégén végre sikerült megnéznem a Pay It Forward-ot. a film is nagyon tetszett, és KS is. Nem leeht könnyű egy ilyen jó pasinak hitelesen eljátszani ezt a szerepet...

Pályakezdő rendezőket és forgatókönyvírókat próbál maga köré gyűjteni új site-ján Kevin Spacey, Oscar-díjas filmszínész. Az Amerikai szépség, a K-Pax, a Hetedik főszereplője filmes vállalkozása után elnevezett TriggerStreet.com-on kisfilmeket és forgatókönyvet lehet feltölteni, de a filmcsillag barátjainak, így Martin Scorsesenek, Robert Zemeckisnek és a néhai Tedd Demme-nek is felkerült egy-egy rövid filmje a site-ra. Az exkluzív mozgóképek és interjúk mellett Spacey tehetségkutatóversenyt is indít a honlapon, amire bárki nevezhet..
Helló EMBEREK! Miért döglődik ennyire ez a topic? Azért KEVIN elég nagy ÁSZ! Minden filmjét láttam szinte, legjobb az Amerikai szépség, legszarabb az Ártatlan bűnöző volt. Legalább is szerintem! Na szóval jó lenne egy kicsit fölpörögni!
Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey made an impromptu appearance at Britain's Labor Party Conference yesterday. The actor joined former President Bill Clinton - who made a speech at the ruling government party's annual event in Blackpool, northeast England - and received a warm welcome from delegates. The American Beauty star then led a standing ovation as Prime Minister Tony Blair took to the stage. The actor was later spotted dining last night with Clinton and Labor Party spin doctor Alistair Campbell, at Blackpool's not-so-swanky McDonalds restaurant. Spacey and Clinton recently completed a goodwill tour of African nations with Rush Hour star Chris Tucker.
