OSCARS: Jim Burke & Jim Taylor Give Birth To Alexander Paynes The Descendants

Fox Searchlight’sThe Descendants opened in NY and Los Angeles in five theatres (2 in NY and 3 in LA) last night. The buzz beganwith the sellouts of the special screenings and tribute to George Clooney in Telluride, and continued to the Toronto International Film Festival as well as the closing night at the NY Film Festival and the London Film Festival and the recent Gotham Award nominations. It goes into the awards seasons withtrenedous momentum. The Alexander Payne-directed filme starring George Clooney and supported bynewcomers Shailene Woodley and Amara Miller willadd 11 new marketsplaying in 29 theatres on Friday. For the Thanksgiving period there will be a continued expansion to nearly450 theatres. Jim Taylor isPayne’s lesser-known writing partnerand shares credit on such films as Election and About Schmidt, and an Oscar for 2005s Sideways.For TheDescendants,Payne wrote solo while Taylor stuck to producing alongside Jim Burke, his longtime partner in Ad HominemProductions. On the eve of the films release, Awardsline contributor Ari Karpel spoke with Taylor (who goes byJim) and Burke (who goes by Burke) about the films favorable festivalstart, editing at Clooneys Lake Como villa, and why Taylor sat out the writingof this one: AWARDSLINE: FoxSearchlight optioned the book The Descendants for your productioncompany, Ad Hominem, about four years ago. Tell me about the process thatfollowed. JIM BURKE: I read a manuscript that was sent tous by a literary agent in London. I forwarded it to Searchlight. I think the agent who sent it to us, alsomailed it to a number of production companies like ours since there was a lotof interest from the competition.Fox Searchlight acted quickly on our behalf to acquire the option on thisbook before we had fully decided who would even direct it. Jim and Alexander atthe time were writing an original screenplay called Downsizing which was intended to be Alexanders next film todirect. So we figured The Descendants would be our next picture to produce at Ad Hominem and we proceeded along thoselines. We went out and looked for screenwriters to adapt the book and arrivedat Nat Faxon and Jim Rash. They did a terrific job but it became clear at somepoint along the way that Downsizing was going to be too big a movie, and take too long to be ready. Alexanderbecame more anxious about starting a production shoot and we realized it wasgoing to take longer to get Downsizing made. He became more and more attracted to Descendants and he decided, Ill take this one on. Because he decided that it could bedone more in the style that hes used to, with very little green screen. AWARDSLINE: DidAlexander take the script that those guys had written and start revising it? JIM TAYLOR: No. They wrote a great script, butthe way Alexander works is he needs to make what he directs, his own. He wentin and made it more personal for himself. AWARDSLINE: Soyoure saying that no matter how good their script was, he had to throw it outand start from scratch in order to write in his voice and make it his own? And theresthat WGA rule, as there always is, where they get credit as well. TAYLOR: Yeah, and they wrote a great script, but that is exactly whathappened. AWARDSLINE: JimTaylor, why didnt you collaborate on this script as you have with Alexander inthe past? TAYLOR: This is a little less comedic thanour other collaborations, so this didnt feel right for me. Together we tend towrite more comedy and the plot of this was more emotional. AWARDSLINE: The filmreceived a good response at festivals. How important is it to launch themarketing at a festival like Telluride? TAYLOR: I dont know. I think that if its a strong movie, no matter where itemerges, its still strong and people talk about it, whether its Sundance,Toronto or Telluride or whatever.Tellurides such a great festival to be at. Its such a filmmaker-oriented event. We likeit because its easy to see films there. AWARDSLINE: Its sohard for an adult drama to get attention now.It seems like a festival like that really helps it. TAYLOR: Definitely, it does.AndFox Searchlight, you know, theyre some of the only people really making movieslike that anymore, so were incredibly lucky to have our home there. BURKE: And I think that theyre equipped to deal with films that are not easilycategorized. I mean, they have many times in the past. Its not a marketersdream (this movie). A marketers dream is something from a comic book. TAYLOR: But it doesnt hurt to have GeorgeClooney in the movie. In a lot of different ways, not the least of which iswhat a wonderful collaborator he is. But also, I think that if people are justgoing looking for another Sideways,they might be thrown a little bit. So, its nice that the only draw isntanother Alexander Payne movie. Its also that a lot of people go to movies tosee George Clooneys performances. AWARDSLINE: Howdo you divide your responsibilities? Was one of you moreon the ground in Hawaii and the other holding down the fort in LA? BURKE: Aside from being business partners,all three of us are very close friends.I think its safe to say that were always there for each other, whatever we need. Its never been any kind of an issue, like you do this, youdo that. Im not an artist. Jim and Al are, so they have an artistic relationship, but they also value what I do for them and for us; and I, ofcourse, value and highly respect both of them.We just do what comes naturally to all of us. TAYLOR: Yeah, I think the term partnersreally implies whatyou know, were not always doing the same thing, but werea team, and we make sure that everything gets done. AWARDSLINE: Thismovie was edited by your longtime editor Kevin Tent, but I read that it wasactually edited at Clooneys Lake Cuomo villa. Is that right? BURKE: Its sort of right. It was really edited in Santa Monica at our office,but they went over there to his villa for a couple of weeks in the midsummer,just to sort of work and, obviously, hang out with George. AWARDSLINE: Theleading actor doesnt usually host the post-production so does that shift thedynamic a little bit? Dont you need to shut yourself out and make decisionsand not be worried about what the actors going to think? BURKE: Yeah. George, though, is more than just an actor. Not that thats notenough, but hes also a filmmaker himself. He just said, Hey, listen, man, Ihave an Avid in my villa.Why dont youjust come on over and be in Italy for a few weeks and cut it there?He wasnt intrusive at all.All he did was host dinner parties and thingslike that. And when Kevin and Alexander had a little sequence that they wereprepared to show him, they did. AWARDSLINE: Imcurious, of course, about the Oscar campaign for the film. Clooneyis certainly a natural contender; but he also has Ides of March. Is there a bit of a balancing act withthose two? BURKE: Here is how Id say we feel about an Oscar campaign: Its like the way Ifeel about getting on an airplane.Idont pay too much attention to it because I know its out of my hands. I believeweve made a really excellent film and that knowledge alone just edifiesme.I hope other people think that, butits so hard to make a movie that even you like, and often, one of our goalsfor the three of us at our company is to make movies that we like, that we would actually pay to see.I think wevedone it; and whether it wins an Oscar,I dont know whether it will or not.Its hard to know. As for Ides ofMarch, were really cool with George, too.I know that George understands what a great performance he gave in The Descendants. I just marvel at it and I feel like heunderstands that.He has to.Everybodys telling him that.

Is Warner Bros And Basic steps New TV Privileges Agreement A Level For Digital And Distribution Deals?

It will get a little technical, but Warner Bros Television Group and ABC might have cracked the code to solve among the TV industry’s more vexing problems: How should program producers and systems split the privileges to air Television shows asdigital platforms be a bigger area of the distribution mix? They introduced today atwo-year deal that provides ABC larger and clearer possibilities to operate WBTVG shows when they’re hot: ABC may include the shows inside a TV Everywhere, subscription-based online feed from the network that the companies have to say is “currently under development.” The network also offers to constitute to 5 lately broadcast instances of current WBTVG programs — such as the Middle, Arrange It, and Suburgatory – available via VOD the moment the next day of they first show up on TV. They are able to operate on the network’s primary Internet sites, abc.com and Hulu, plus an ABC-top quality VOD service transported by traditional pay TV marketers.

The studio may also begin syndicating sitcoms and procedural dramas to Tv producers and cable systems after 3 years, lower from four. Since WBTV may be the biggest independent TV producer, “this is type of a level,” states EVP Craig Hunegs. “I don’t think there’s any going back out of this.” He adds that WBTVG is near to finishing an identical, but longer, cope with another network.

Arrivederci, Berlusconi

BerlusconiRome-- Silvio Berlusconi resigned Saturday as Italy's prime minister, ending an anomalous 17-year era in Italian politics marked by the billionaire media mogul's dual role as the country's leading pol and top showbiz entrepreneur.A chorus of Handel's "Halleluia," performed by a professional ensemble, burst out in front of Rome's Qurinale president's palace, as thousands of Italians poured into the center of the Italian capital in a euphoric atmosphere reminiscent of a World Cup soccer victory.On the other side of town, news that Berlusconi had lost his seat of power prompted protracted cheers during a Bob Dylan concert at Rome's Palalottomatica. "Listened to Bob Dylan sing in Rome as Berlusconi finally fell. That felt right," Twittered Salman Rushdie who was at the concert, part of Dylan and Mark Knopfler's European tour.Berlusconi, who lost his support in parliament on November 8 as Italy's economic crisis spiralled, bringing the country on the brink of bankruptcy, stepped down Saturday, ending his third stint as Italy's prime minister.The 75-year-old mogul entered Italian politics in 1994 using his TV channels to publicize his "Let's Go Italy" force named after a soccer chant. He has been distracted lately by sex scandals connected to "bunga bunga" parties and accusations that he paid for sex with a minor, besides corruption charges connected to his Mediaset TV empire, all of which he denies.As markets battered Italy Berlusconi's political popularity had been waning at home as his credbility crumbled abroad. And the current climate has not been helping Mediaset either.Mediaset shares tumbled on Nov. 8 as it posted a 31% drop in nine-month operating profit to 368.2 million ($507.8 million) the day Berlusconi announced that he would step down.Berlusconi's resignation paved the way for Italian president Giorgio Napolitano to appoint former European Commissioner Mario Monti to form a government of non-pol technocrats to push through drastic economic reforms needed to revive Italy's long stagnant economy.As for his political future, Berlusconi for the moment remains leader of Italy's center-right bloc, but said after announcing his resignation that he will not run as premier ever again.

Silvio Berlusconi Resigns As Italian PM

Silvio Berlusconi has collected more than his fair share of enemies and controversies in three separate stints as Italy’s prime minister over a 17-year span. And today in Rome the billionaire media tycoon did what his political and media rivals have wanted him to do for years: he resigned. The head of Italian conglomerate Mediaset made true on his pledge to step down after the government finally passed a package of harsh economic reforms designed to keep Italy from defaulting on its $2.6 trillion debt and avoid the market meltdown that threatens to sweep through Europe. Berlusconi handed in his resignation at the presidential palace, where a crowd of thousands had gathered to cheer his ouster, yelling things like buffoon, Mafioso and shame as he arrived, according to the Financial Times. For years, Berlusconi’s rivals in the media industry have accused him of massive conflict of interest running the government that regulates Italy’s media industry, of which he is such a big part; lawsuits, scandals and plenty of brash talk from the outspoken mogul were normal during his time in office. Now, he has said he will not return to government — he had hoped to become president — leaving him time to focus on Mediaset, Italy’s largest commercial broadcaster that also runs Espana Comunicacion in Spain and has a stake in Dutch reality TV giant Endemol among its many interests.

Oprahs Philanthropy Makes Her Honorary Oscar

First Released: November 8, 2011 11:49 AM EST Credit: Getty Premium La, Calif. -- Caption The famous host oprah Winfrey talks in the Cable Show 2011 at McCormick Place, Chicago, June 16, 2011Oprah Winfrey states she knows why some balked once the film academy introduced it might offer her an honorary Oscar on her humanitarian contributions. The 57-year-old media mogul will get the exclusive Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award on Saturday in the Academy of movement Picture Arts and Sciences third annual Governors Honours. Once the announcement is made within the summer time, some belittled the academy for selecting Winfrey to get its Hersholt award, that is presented periodically for an individual within the film industry whose humanitarian efforts have introduced credit towards the industry, based on the academys website. Previous readers include Bette Davis, Quincy Johnson, Jerry Lewis and Paul Newman. Experts stated Winfrey goes more to everything about TV compared to film. I understood it because I had been equally surprised, Winfrey stated inside a recent interview. I had been surprised because I'm not referred to as an actress. Ive done film and that i love the flicks that Ive done, but she appreciates the list is not lengthy. Actor James Earl Johnson and makeup artist Dick Cruz may also be honored at Saturdays ceremony in the Kodak Theatre, both receiving Academy awards for his or her lengthy and notable film careers. Winfreys Hersholt award will not be her first academy recognition. She was nominated for any supporting actress Oscar on her role in 1985s The Colour Crimson. She also created and starred within the 1998 large-screen adaptation of Toni Morrisons Beloved and 2009s Precious, which won Academy awards for supporting actress MoNique and film writer Geoffrey Fletcher. I realize people thinking, Wheres her listing of qualifications for films, she stated, however i dont think theres room for critique within the do-good department. Winfrey has led a lot more than $500 million from her personal coffers to charitable causes, academy leader Tom Sherak stated. She established her first charitable foundation annually after starting The The famous host oprah Winfrey Show and is a philanthropist since. In 1998, she produced Oprahs Angel Network, which supported charitable projects and provided grants or loans to nonprofit organizations worldwide. She funds scholarship grants for around 100 students in American colleges, as well as in 2007 she opened up the The famous host oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Women in Nigeria. Winfrey remains deeply associated with the college and itsstudents, who call her Mother The famous host oprah. She travels to Nigeria four or five occasions annually to speak personally using the women and takes calls in the center of the evening to go over their progress and curricula. It is the most tiring factor I actually do, and also the most exhilarating, she stated. I've got a little house there about 1,800 sq ft of the house and from the moment I land the house is stuffed with women. I'm counseling women, feeding women, speaking to women, therefore it never stops. The colleges first senior class is going to graduate, and 100 % seem to be attending college, Winfrey stated with pride, observing theyre the very first within their family to do this. When she last visited, she carried out daily classes for that graduation senior citizens, teaching them everything I needed to understand before I went in to the world, she stated. You realize, about taking responsibility, about not accepting the loan cards, about values, about creating something system on your own and just how integrity is easily the most valuable factor you do in to the world, which without your recognition as well as your integrity you've got nothing, she ongoing. Only then do we spoken about various ways that turns up for you personally. It turns up first using the boys! If she needed to get it done over, she'd certainly took another route, since it is very hard creating an institution for learning, excellence and leadership when you are 8,000 miles away, she stated. However the lengthy plane outings and early-morning telephone calls tend to be more than worthwhile. Im 100 % engaged constantly. Thats very rewarding, she stated. It's a side of me that many people dont realize, that after I leave work, sometimes at 2 each morning, 3 each morning, 4 each morning, Im up. Stedmans going, Ugh, you on the telephone with Africa again? Yep, Im on the telephone with Africa. Its a continuing a part of my existence. Winfrey will get her Oscar in a private untelevised ceremony held in the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood&Highland, just upstairs in the Kodak Theatre, home from the Oscars since 2001. Sherak stated Winfrey is among the most philanthropic entertainers on the planet along with a best example of why this award was produced. The famous host oprah has given and given and given, he stated. Winfrey stated she was delighted when Sherak known as to inform her shed be finding the Hersholt award. Years back, I gave it to Quincy Johnson and that i was honored to become around the stage just giving the award, she stated. To become the person receiving an award thats provided to you for the contributions toward doing something great for the planet or attempting to a minimum of create a mark for any pressure for something thats positive on the planet, I simply dont believe that there is a better recognition than that.
