Sundance Film Festival Review: 'Red Lights'

Red Lights

I’ll say this about “Red Lights,” the Cillian Murphy- and Robert De Niro-starring thriller that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on Friday night (January 20): I don’t think I’ve talked as much with people about a movie after seeing it since “Inception.”

Which is not to suggest writer/director Rodrigo Cortés’ feature (his follow-up to 2010 fest fav “Buried”) is anywhere near as perfectly conceived and executed as Christopher Nolan’s escapade within the dream world. In fact, “Red Lights” is honestly not a very good movie, though it’s difficult to say why without giving away all the twists, turns and what-the-eff moments.

Jason Statham's 'Killer Elite' Cast: 'It Doesn't Get Any Better'

Posted 9/23/11 3:02 pm EST by Kara Warner in News

Pretty much any time we see Jason Statham in anything, we know he'll be some sort of likable bad-ass and will kick the crap out of some people in doing so. This week's "Killer Elite" is no exception, and even better than Statham lighting up the screen solo, he's joined by serious A-listers Robert De Niro and Clive Owen.

MTV News caught up with the man of action recently to discuss how his Oscar winning and Oscar nominated co-stars raised the bar on set.

"It’s like boxing with Muhammad Ali, it’s like winning a Formula One race," Statham said of working with De Niro. "It’s the top of the mountain, it doesn’t get any better."

Exclusive 'Red Lights' Trailer Teases Robert De Niro's Paranormal Activity

Posted 9/13/11 1:29 pm EST by Eric Ditzian in Trailers

Rodrigo Cortés made a big splash last year at the Sundance Film Festival with his Ryan-Reynolds-in-a-coffin-for-90-minutes thriller, "Buried." For his follow-up feature, the Spanish filmmaker is expanding the scope of his big-screen vision, but doesn't seem to have any interest in ramping down the nerve-jangling intensity of his work, as our exclusive debut of the teaser trailer makes clear.

Good call, Mr. Cortés! The teaser is a minimalist affair, with the camera slowly pushing in on star Robert De Niro sitting on a bed. Intermittent slates appear, filled with symbols that gradually reveal text: "No matter what you think you know…no matter what you believe in…the truth is the most dangerous illusion of all." De Niro eventually turns toward the camera and, well, just hit play on the video to check it out for yourself.

Bradley Cooper And Robert De Niro Reuniting For David O. Russell

Posted 8/2/11 12:46 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Casting Call

Bradley Cooper should be looking at his silver linings as he and his "Limitless" costar Robert De Niro are in talks to team up with director David O Russell for "The Silver Linings Playbook."

Deadline has the news that Cooper and De Niro are in negotiations for the flick. Cooper would be replacing Mark Wahlberg, who departed due to other obligations. Jennifer Lawrence is still committed as the movie's leading lady.

Robert De Niro Says Other Scorsese Projects Won't Delay 'Irishman,' Is Open To 'Uncharted'

Posted 3/7/11 6:42 pm EST by Eric Ditzian in News

When news broke last month that Martin Scorsese had signed up for a fifth collaboration with Leonardo DiCaprio in the form of "The Wolf of Wall Street," we started wondering what that meant for Scorsese's planned production with Robert De Niro, "The Irishman."

After finishing up the fantastical 3-D flick "Hugo Cabret," and shooting his long gestating "Silence" about Jesuits missionaries in 17th Century Japan, would Scorsese skip over "Irishman" and head straight into "Wall Street"?

That seemed to be the plan according to multiple reports, but not to De Niro himself. When MTV News caught up with the man during a "Limitless" press day, De Niro told us "Irishman," his eighth collaboration with Scorsese, will still be the director's follow-up to "Silence."

EXCLUSIVE: New 'Limitless' Photos Highlight Bradley Cooper's Deadly Intelligence

Posted 2/16/11 11:57 am EST by Josh Wigler in Photos

If the mind is the scene of the crime in "Inception," the tagline takes on a whole new meaning in "Limitless."

The brain-bending thriller, which arrives in theaters on March 18, follows struggling novelist Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper). When he comes into contact with a new experimental drug called NZT, his previously bleak future suddenly becomes much brighter: the drug allows him full access to all of his brainpower, leading to a much more successful existence than the one he's currently enjoying.

But success is not without its limits, despite what the film's title suggests. Both Morra and the audience will learn this lesson the hard way when "Limitless" hits screens. The movie's release is still some weeks away, but for now, we've got an exclusive first look at two new photos from the forthcoming thriller. Check them out past the jump!

Paul Dano To Reteam With 'Little Miss Sunshine' Directors For New Dramedy 'He Loves Me'

Posted 2/9/11 1:27 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

For those of you out there hoping that the next film "Little Miss Sunshine" directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris will make after their 2006 indie darling will be its sequel, continue holding your breath. But they're bringing us the next best thing.

The Los Angeles Times reports that Dayton and Faris are reteaming with "Little Miss Sunshine" star Paul Dano to headline their new dramedy, and producers Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa are back for more as well. The film, "He Loves Me," is written by and will costar Dano's real-life girlfriend, Zoe Kazan, and is described as "Adaptation" meets "Weird Science."

Berger told the Times that "the plot couldn't be more different than 'Little Miss Sunshine,' but in terms of a movie with comedy, with heart and with strong characters, I think it's very similar."

This is far from the first time directors have reteamed with some of their favorite actors for great results -- click past the jump for some other notable examples -- and we hope that "He Loves Me" can rank up there with them.

Golden Globes Winners 2011: 'The Social Network,' Natalie Portman And Christian Bale Clean Up

Posted 1/16/11 11:10 pm EST by Tom DiChiara in Golden Globes

The 68th Annual Golden Globes are a wrap, folks!

And in case you missed our awesome LIVE BLOG coverage (nice job, Katie!), here's what went down. Ricky Gervais rocked the hosting duties. No surprise there. Robert Downey Jr. said he'd "like to give it" to all five nominees for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and we're pretty sure he wasn't talking about the award.

Similarly unsurprising: Colin Firth won Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama, Natalie Portman cinched Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for "Black Swan," Matt Damon presented Robert De Niro with the Cecil B. DeMille Award (yeah, that was announced beforehand), Christian Bale and Melissa Leo scored victories for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress for their turns in "The Fighter," "Toy Story 3" prevailed in the Best Animated Motion Picture category, and Aaron Sorkin and "The Social Network" claimed gold for Best Screenplay and Best Motion Picture - Drama.

'Fockers' Quiz: De Niro, Hoffman, Alba, Stiller & Wilson Answer Questions About Musical Condoms, Tattoos

Posted 12/26/10 12:06 pm EST by Kara Warner in Humor, Interviews, Video

In the spirit of the underlying wackiness that characterizes each and every "Fockers" film -- "Meet the Parents," "Meet the Fockers" and now "Little Fockers" -- we thought we'd have a little fun with the cast when we caught up with them at the recent "Fockers" press day. Our version of said fun was asking everyone (Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman and Owen Wilson, and Jessica Alba) a few multiple choice "would you rather" questions based on events that happen in the films. Note: Hoffman's impression of a musical condom is not to be missed.

Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro And Jessica Alba Are Funny 'Little Fockers' In Three Clips From The Film

Posted 12/22/10 4:41 pm EST by Kara Warner in Video

As you've likely seen via countless TV spots and trailers, Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro are back with yet another installment of their "Meet the Parents"/"Fockers" franchise. "Little Fockers" revolves around the newest additions to the Focker family, 5-year-old twins Henry and Samantha, and specifically their birthday party, as well as Greg (Stiller) once again trying to prove himself a capable man of the house to his demanding father-in-law (De Niro).

For those who can't get enough of the comedic stylings of the Stiller/De Niro duo, MTV News is happy to present you with three splendiforous clips.

Clip #1 opens with little Henry asking dad, Greg, if he can scale a climbing wall. His exact words are: "Dad, can I please go climb that big rock wall?" -- which, for any astute viewer, provides a bit of foreshadowing. Henry goes off to climb, while Greg and Jack discuss whether or not Greg has imparted on his son the proper skills to achieve such a feat. Naturally, when Greg ends the discussion with "You've just got to accept that I've got this," Henry falls off the wall and lands with a thud. Read More...
