But it’s not the first time that The Great Gatsby has hit the big screen. Way back in 1974, Robert Redford headlined in that disco era movie adaptation of …
Man, the Brits are lucky. They’ve got some of the finest actors ever emerging from that side of the pond, thespians who are tackling everything from high drama to superhero capers. Take Colin Firth for instance. Alongside Hugh Grant, he made a sloppy fight that was written about in a diary look classy, and he stuttered his way to Oscar …
Hollywood may be running out ideas, but fortunately, there’s a whole world of books and video games out there that are just waiting to be strip-mined for future projects. The Host and Jack Reacher are just a few recent examples of such adaptations, with plenty more on the horizon. Take director Joe Carnahan for instance. He’s hot stuff in Hollywood …
