On July 15, 1996, IndieWire launched as an e-mail newsletter providing “the daily news service for independent film.” (See the first newsletter here.) The original iteration of the site was the brainchild of Cheri Barner, Eugene Hernandez and Mark Rabinowitz, three recent college students obsessed with the movies. In the ensuing years, IndieWire grew and changed hands many times over. Barner now works as a talent manager in Los Angeles, Hernandez is the deputy director of the Film Society Lincoln Center, and Rabinowitz is a freelance publicist, consultant and programmer.
But they have remained a part of our close-knit community. As IndieWire arrives at its 20th anniversary, the trio gathered together for their first joint interview to recall the early days of IndieWire — as well as the thriving American independent film scene that inspired the publication.
Eugene Hernandez: IndieWire was an outgrowth of something that Mark, Cheri and I had started in 1995. At the time,...

It was a busy week of reviews as we disagree on Ted and People Like Us, agree on Magic Mike and I give my thoughts on To Rome with Love, which Laremy didn't see. Of course, on top of that we get to several of your questions, over/unders, buy or sells, a new Good Comments segment, more Good Tweets and just all around randomness. This episode runs just over 86 minutes and will hopefully keep you satisfied until our July 3 episode where we'll dig into The Amazing Spider-Man. As always, I have broken down this episode on a minute-by-minute basis if you would like to skip ahead and below I have featured the information on how to download the podcast, find us on iTunes or merely just listen in your browser. 00:00-5:15 - Introduction and the ease of podcasting vs. writing 5:16-8:48 - [Listener Question] In the wake of Nora Ephron's death,...

Sometimes the fates align to create news stories where they aren’t expected. Here’s an example: Last week, I booked a phoner with screenwriter Alex Kurtzman on behalf of his directorial debut, People Like Us. As luck would have it, though, Kurtzman jumped on the phone with me the morning after I’d managed to screen Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man. And if you weren’t yet aware, Kurtzman and his writing partner, Roberto Orci, recently had been hired by Sony to revise the screenplay for the studio’s planned Amazing Spider-Man sequel, which already has a 2014 release date. So yeah, we were going to have to get into that. Kurtzman actually cracked a joke when I told him I was in New York...

HollywoodNews.com: The 38th Seattle International Film Festival, the largest and most highly-attended event of its kind in the United States concluded today with the announcement of the Siff 2012 Competition Awards and Golden Space Needle Audience Awards. The 25-day Festival, which began May 17, featured over 460 films from more than 70 countries, including 65 feature premieres (24 World, 25 North American, 16 U.S.) and over 700 screenings. Additionally, Siff brought in more than 300 directors, actors and industry professionals.
“A festival’s success is dependent on two basic principles: providing a platform for filmmakers to be celebrated and connecting them to audience members that would not otherwise be aware of their remarkable stories,” said Siff Artistic Director Carl Spence. “This year a record number of filmmakers participated in person and online with virtual Q&A’s successfully expanding the conversation around the best in cinema with passionate audiences, illuminating guests and distinguished industry in attendance.”

I can't remember a time I went to the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff) press launch and looked over the list of films and saw so many I was interested in seeing. The claim to fame for over the years is to call it the largest and most-highly attended festival in the United States. This is a fact I've often taken issue with as I don't equate quantity with quality. Granted, there has been a large number of quality features to play the fest over the years, including Golden Space Needle (Best Film) winners such as Kiss of the Spider Woman (1985), My Life as a Dog (1987), Trainspotting (1996), Run Lola Run (1999), Whale Rider (2003) and even recent Best Director winner, Michel Hazanavicius's Oss 117: Nest of Spies in 2006. That said, looking over this year's crop of films I see a lot of films I will be doing my absolute best to see.

They’ve written a number of high-profile Hollywood blockbusters, but the duo of Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have yet to venture into superhero territory. This has now changed, as Deadline reports the people behind Transformers, Star Trek and Cowboys & Aliens have signed with Sony to rewrite the script for The Amazing Spider-Man sequel.
This comes after a little tidbit yesterday that Bridesmaids director Paul Feig had a hand in Marc Webb‘s first Spidey film, set for a release this summer. That film was written by Alvin Sargent, Steve Kloves and James Vanderbilt, the latter of whom was recently tasked to script this sequel. But Orci and Kurtzman have been brought on to likely give it the blockbuster polish they’re known for. Check out producer Matt Tolmach‘s quote below.
“Alex and Bob have a unique ability to write great character and spectacular action that makes them pitch perfect for Spider-Man.

Donald Sutherland as President Snow, The Hunger Games That The Hunger Games would easily top the North American box office this weekend was a given. Now, how much exactly Gary Ross' film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' novel would earn was open to debate. Perhaps that still is. Last night, Deadline.com reported early estimates of $24 million for Friday and $75 million for the weekend, as The Hunger Games is still playing at 4,137 venues (minus IMAX screens). However, it turns out that the futuristic adventure tale collected a much more modest — though still impressive — $18.85 million on Friday as per studio estimates. That's down 72% compared to a week ago, which also included $19.5 million from Thursday midnight screenings. Taking those into account, The Hunger Games actually dropped 61%. Anyhow, instead of the previously announced $75 million for the weekend, The Hunger Games is now expected to earn around $60 million. If so, it'll be down 61% compared to last weekend.

A first time British feature that is a deeply eccentric, haunting marvel
If Syd Barrett had ever written and directed a movie, it might well have looked like this: an indie tragicomedy from the dark heart of rural suburbia, by newcomers Tom Kingsley and Will Sharpe. Black Pond is funny, dreamily lyrical, armour-plated with eccentric self-confidence and also intensely English. It also, I have to say, has one of the most disturbing dream sequences I have seen for a while. Looking around for recent comparisons, I find myself reaching for Nick Whitfield's Skeletons, or Ben Wheatley's Kill List, possibly Joanna Hogg's Unrelated, or even John Morton's TV mockumentary series People Like Us.
This last reference is, of course, due to the powerful, even sensational presence of Chris Langham, making his first professional appearance since his recent disgrace. He creates a portrait of bourgeois midlife crisis that...

The docuspoof/mockumentary format feels curiously old-fashioned suddenly. It’s the perfect approach to take with BBC4′s Twenty Twelve, which charts the efforts of an inept Olympic Deliverance Commission to promote London 2012, but there was something too safe and cozy about the whole endeavour. Almost like it’s a part of the Olympic marketing and, with a future cameo from Lord Sebastian Coe himself, that’s probably half-true. So, rather than deliver a scabrous and insightful criticism of the Olympic Games, Twenty Twelve is just a quietly mocking series that elicits the odd giggle.
