Halloween Costumes - Easy last-minute movie-themed ideas

Posted by Scott Hamilton on Friday, October 30, 2009

Halloween is this weekend, man! Have you got your costume? You haven’t?!? What have I been telling you all month, don’t wait till the last minute! Well, don’t worry, I’ll help you out. Here’s some movie costumes you could throw together in due time for Halloween! (Just plan ahead next time >.<)

PS If you costume turns out great, submit to Strutta’s Halloween Costume contest and join Hugh Hefner with a Playboy Bunny, Ghostbuster and three variations of Johnny Depp characters among others …

Watchmen’s Rorschach

Maybe you’d want to go as the anti-hero from Watchmen, Rorschach. All you’ll need is a couple pieces of clothing and the the mask.

The hardest thing about this costume will be getting the mask right. It has this special inkblot-looking design to it, and is pretty much the main focus of this costume (everything else is pretty standard clothing.) You can order the mask online from a hobby store or from eBay (although they probably won’t ship in time for Halloween…) or try to do it yourself (all it takes is patience.)

Abbie Cornish as Fanny Brawne in Bright StarGems and the Cannes Film Festival
The Seoul Times, May 30, 2009
By Gautaman Bhaskaran, South Asia Correspondent

Indeed a treat for romantics and poetry lovers, “Bright Star” may well be a joy forever marking Campion’s return to Cannes after her 1993 Palm d’Or winner, “The Piano” Tracing the love story between a young Keats and his Hamstead neighbour, Fanny Brawne, Campion never losses sight of period details. Scenes of Brawne with a fine needle and thread, Keats with his pen and paper creating poetic pleasure that much after his death helped the world realise his genius and the passion between the two only restrained by the rigid social mores of the day have been frozen on frame with a classic touch.

Biteback: at Cannes
The Sunday Times, May 24, 2009
By Richard Brooks

I admired Bright Star, the story of the love affair between John Keats and Fanny Brawne, but was not smitten. Well acted, well directed and well shot, it lacked a point. I was amused when its producer, Jan Chapman, told me she was determined not to make a costume drama. What? Brawne (Abbie Cornish) parades in about 30 different outfits. I know she was a good seamstress, but she was only 18 and her mum was widowed, with two other youngsters to bring up. How was this not a “frocks” movie?

Dispatch from Cannes
Las Vegas Weekly, Thu, May 28, 2009
By Mike D’Angelo

Heavyweight auteurs mostly fail to thrill at the world’s top film festival, {snip} But in the end, despite its endless parade of auteurs, Cannes 2009 served up only a handful of truly memorable movies, none of them masterpieces. The first few days, in particular, were a long haul, as even the better films tread exceedingly familiar ground. Campion, who hadn’t made a feature since 2003’s critically reviled In the Cut, received respectful notices for Bright Star, her portrait of the doomed relationship between Romantic poet John Keats and his muse, Fanny Brawne, but seeing this once-ferocious filmmaker (even In the Cut has its queasy moments) reduced to a genteel literary biopic only made me sad.

Bright Star

Cannes. “Bright Star”
“The Daily” on IFC.com, 05/15/2009
By David Hudson

Jane Campion has put herself in line for her second Palme d’Or here at the Cannes film festival with a film which I think could be the best of her career; an affecting and deeply considered study of the last years in the short life of John Keats [Ben Whishaw], and the ecstasy of loss which suffuses his love affair with Fanny Brawne [Abbie Cornish] - a love thwarted not due to illness, but to a pernicious web of money worries, social scruples and irrelevant male loyalties.” The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw: “Campion brings to this story an unfashionable, unapologetic reverence for romance and romantic love, and she responds to Keats’s life and work with intelligence and grace.”

“Refreshingly, ['Bright Star'] is free of the hysterics so often associated with films about writers and deftly avoids the distracting surface tendencies that can plague British period pieces set in the 18th and 19th centuries,” writes Time Out London’s Dave Calhoun. “It’s also remarkable in its lightness of touch: the film barely tries to persuade us that Keats is a valid object of this girl’s affection or that he is a fine literary talent; we are left to learn both incidentally. They’re wise choices, leaving Campion to concentrate on character and emotion rather than any special pleading about genius and its offshoots.”

Cannes 09 ‘Bright Star’ Press Conference with Abbie Cornish
MovieSet.com Cannes coverage
, Monday, May 18, 2009
By Phillip Nakov

We sat down for a chat with Abbie Cornish this week at the 62nd annual Cannes Film Festival to chat about her role as Fanny Brawne in Jane Campion’s latest work “Bright Star“. The movie is about the life, love and work of the famous English romantic poet John Keats.

As she draws near the table, she sits down slowly exhales. She is wearing a dainty lace top that looks delicate and light atop a darker black under shirt. I noticed immediately she is back to a lighter hair color as she was dark haired for the movie.  She smiles as we start to chat about working with Jane Campion, what it meant to her to accept this role and what she expects on the set of her next movie with Zach Synder which she starts shooting in June.

{snip}

Q: So what’s coming up next for you?

A: My next film is going to be “Sucker Punch.” Directed by Zach Snyder. He did ‘300′ and the ‘Watchmen‘. It’s totally different to anything I‘ve ever done. It’s going to be a little wild and a little crazy.

Q: Have you started already?

A: No, I start in June.

Q: Who will you be playing?

A: I play the character of Sweet Pea. Essentially it’s the story of five girls in the 1950’s who get together and try to escape a psychiatric ward. They are all in this thing and they are all like let’s get out of here. The interesting thing to me is that the films Zach has directed he hasn’t written. They haven’t been his concepts from the beginning. This is the first time he’s ever made a concept film that he wrote. I am interested to see what he does with it. I think he has an incredible talent in regards to contemporary cutting edge cinema. I think he is a bit of the master at the action sequences.

The full list of winners follows. You can log on to Official Cannes Festival site to watch the press conference and photo call following the closing ceremony festivities in Cannes.

To check out exactly what each prize means, and more info about the festival itself, check out The Substream Filmlabs’ Cannes Video.

Here’s an introduction to the films we had an opportunity to cover, including press conferences and interviews with filmmakers and actors.

1) The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

The ‘Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus‘ is a fantastical morality tale, set in the present-day. Dr. Parnassus with his extraordinary traveling show “The Imaginarium” offers to members of the audience an irresistible opportunity to enter their universe of imaginations and wonders, by passing through a magical mirror. But Dr. Parnassus is cursed with a dark secret. An inveterate gambler, thousands of years ago he made a bet with the devil, Mr. Nick, in which he won immortality.

Centuries later, on meeting his one true love, Dr. Parnassus made another deal with the devil, trading his immortality for youth, on condition that when his daughter reached her 16th birthday, she would become the property of Mr. Nick. Now it is time to pay the price…

Watch the Press Conference with Terry Gilliam and Actors.

2) I Love you Phillip Morris

The true story of an ex-cop, ex-husband, ex-insurance swindler, ex-model prisoner and eternal lover of cellmate Philip Morris (Ewan McGregor). Steven Russell (Jim Carrey) will do anything to avoid being separated from the man of his dreams. Which means not rotting away in prison.

How far can one go for love? Quite far if you believe the incredible story of Steven Russell, an escape artist whose romanticism gets the better of him. Based on the book by Steven McVicker, this jail-house, dark romantic comedy.

Read the Ultimate Review by Phillip Nakov

3) Agora

As the Roman Empire declines, philosopher and astromomer Hypatia struggles to preserve scientific knowledge amid the clash of zealots in Alexandria, whose rising Christian population grows increasingly militant toward Jews and worshipers of the Egyptian gods.

Check out the Press Conference with Rachel Weisz and Director Alejandro Amenabar


4) Disney’s A Christmas Carol

Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of an old miser who must face Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet-to-Come, as they help to bring kindness to his otherwise cold heart. The Ghosts remind him of the man he used to be, the hard truth of what the world is today, and what will happen if he does not strive to be a better man.

Jim Carrey plays four separate roles in this updated version of A Christmas Carol. Carrey portrays Scrooge, as well as the three ghosts (Past, Present, and Yet-to-Come). His dynamic character roles keep the four characters as diverse as being played by four actors. Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future trilogy) has his chance to dabble in telling a story through the windows of time, as he directs the long-awaited remake. In theaters Nov. 6, 2009.

Check out this sneak peak teaser footage of the movie, showing off some of the CGI and the Press Conference with Jim Carrey and Robert Zemeckis and some Stills of the Premiere.

5) Bright Star

“Bright Star”. The movie stars Australian Actress Abbie Cornish, Thomas Sangster and Paul Schneider. Not much is know about the movie yet, but you can check out some stuff at the Official Page.

London 1818 is the year, a secret love affair begins between 23 year old English poet, John Keats, and the girl next door, Fanny Brawne, an outspoken student of fashion. This unlikely pair started at odds; he thinking her a stylish minx, she unimpressed by literature in general. It was the illness of Keats’s younger brother that drew them together. Keats was touched by Fanny’s efforts to help and agreed to teach her poetry. By the time Fanny’s alarmed mother and Keats’s best friend Brown realised their attachment, the relationship had an unstoppable momentum. Intensely and helplessly absorbed in each other, the young lovers were swept into powerful new sensations, “I have the feeling as if I were dissolving”, Keats wrote to her. Together they rode a wave of romantic obsession that deepened as their troubles mounted. Only Keats’s illness proved insurmountable.

Take a look at this clip from the Press Conference in Cannes.

For everything Cannes Remember to check out the Cannes 2009 Sitelet!

Au revoir !

From Phillip, our man on the Crossiette ….

And that wraps it up for us and the whole MovieSet.com crew from here in the south of France. It has been a terrific, fast-paced and exciting two weeks. We’ve seen so many great movies, some not so great and some that we just wondered how they ever got made. There is no other festival like it in the world.

We thank the Festival de Cannes press accreditation committee for welcoming MovieSet.com so graciously at this year’s festival. We hope you have enjoyed our coverage of the 62nd Annual Festival de Cannes (Cannes Film Festival) as much as we enjoyed bringing it to you.  The response has been tremendous from around the world and so till next year.

We sat down for a chat with Abbie Cornish this week at the 62nd annual Cannes Film Festival to chat about her role as Fanny Brawne in Jane Campion’s latest work “Bright Star“. The movie is about the life, love and work of the famous English romantic poet John Keats.

As she draws near the table, she sits down slowly exhales. She is wearing a dainty lace top that looks delicate and light atop a darker black under shirt. I noticed immediately she is back to a lighter hair color as she was dark haired for the movie.  She smiles as we start to chat about working with Jane Campion, what it meant to her to accept this role and what she expects on the set of her next movie with Zach Synder which she starts shooting in June.

Q: Welcome, so, how is the festival? Having fun?

A: A lot of fun. It’s been a lot of really exciting. Showing the film the other night was the best feeling.

Q: Is this your first Cannes?

A: It’s my third. The first time in competition. The first time I was back packing throughout Europe.  Laughter. I had a film that was being sold here. I got myself a little badge and would sit in the theater and watch three films a day all week. Then I went and travelled through Europe. The second time was for Summersault which was in Un Certain Regard.

Q: How is this different that from the first time when you were a backpacker?

A: Well, I remember being on the Croisette and I remember watching Cate Blanchett walk down the red carpet. (Laughter). So it’s a little bit weird that I did that.

Q: Have you heard from your friends and family back home? They must be tremendously supportive?

A: Yeah. The Family is pretty proud.

Q: Did you love any poetry before going into this project and did you already know about John Keats ?

A: Actually I didn’t know them about John Keats. I had heard his name. But I didn’t know about his poems, I didn’t know about his life. After I read the film I remember jumping onto he net and checking it out.  And when we made the film it was quite beautiful to be exposed to this incredible poet. I mean he really is amazing.

Q: Can you tell us a little bit about your approach for selecting a role? What are the elements, whether it’s the story or the director or the cast?

A: Well it’s important to me it’s always the story and the character. And the director. Those are the three most important elements… then the cast and whose producing it also plays a part. You have to want to play that character. You have to want to put that story on screen. And you have to be in safe hands. It’s really important.

Q: Can we talk about that scene towards the end of the movie when Fannie breaks down when she hears of Keats’s death. Up till then she’s been very repressed since she is a 19th century girl, but that’s a very impactful scene. Can you talk a little about that?

A: I think anyone who has ever lost someone that they love in their life understands that and I don’t think, I don’t feel like I need to explain it.

Q: Was it hard to prepare for or anything?

Then we experience a long, pregnant and quite pause. It’s as if she was contemplating how to best respond without being evasive.

A: No. No. It was difficult to do. But now, I didn’t prepare for it. Continue reading…

Watchmen Movie Contest

Early Watchmen movie contest feedback suggests that the contest is tough! We agree - the answers are pretty obscure unless you are a super-fan of The Watchmen.

Contest Info

Like Nietzsche says, “What does not kill me, makes me stronger.” So with this in mind, here’s a few clarifications:

1) the trailer before the video is not *the* video - watch the whole video after the trailer to spot any references to The Watchmen

2) there are 16 total references and you only need 5 to enter - Note: some clues are even clickable to help find more info

3) to enter, write down the references you spotted and email the list to watchmen-contest@movieset.com - along with your name, mailing address and birthday

Contest Hints

To make the contest easier for new fans of The Watchmen, we’ll offer 1 reference answer per day for the rest of the week. That means you only have to spot a couple yourself.

Today’s answer is: Ticking clock is like the Watchmen Armageddon clock

Remember, you can also enter by mailing a postcard with your info.

More Watchmen

The movie is released in North American on March 6, 2009 but reviews of the Watchmen and bonus content abound at fansites and plus info about Watchmen at IMDB.

About the Watchmen Movie

A complex, multi-layered mystery adventure, “Watchmen” is set in an alternate 1985 America in which costumed superheroes are part of the fabric of everyday society, and the Doomsday Clock—which charts the USA’s tension with the Soviet Union—moves closer to midnight.

When one of his former colleagues is murdered, the outlawed but no less determined masked vigilante Rorschach sets out to uncover a plot to kill and discredit all past and present superheroes. As he reconnects with his former crime-fighting legion—a disbanded group of retired superheroes, only one of whom has true powers—Rorschach glimpses a wide-ranging and disturbing conspiracy with links to their shared past and catastrophic consequences for the future.

Their mission is to watch over humanity…but who is watching the Watchmen?

Watchmen” is directed by Zack Snyder (“300”) and produced by Lawrence Gordon, Lloyd Levin and Deborah Snyder. The screenplay is by David Hayter and Alex Tse, based upon the graphic novel co-created and illustrated by Dave Gibbons and published by DC Comics. Herbert W. Gains and Thomas Tull are the executive producers, with Wesley Coller serving as co-producer.

Playing the film’s core group of “Masks,” the adventurers at the center of the story, are Malin Akerman (“27 Dresses”) as Laurie Jupiter, aka Silk Spectre II; Billy Crudup (“The Good Shepherd”) as Jon Osterman, aka Dr. Manhattan; Matthew Goode (“Match Point”) as Adrian Veidt, aka Ozymandias; Carla Gugino (“Night at the Museum”) as Sally Jupiter, aka Silk Spectre; Oscar® nominee Jackie Earle Haley (“Little Children”) as Walter Kovacs, aka Rorschach; Jeffrey Dean Morgan (TV’s “Grey’s Anatomy”) as Edward Blake, aka The Comedian; and Patrick Wilson (“Little Children”) as Dan Dreiberg, aka Nite Owl II.

Joining Snyder behind the scenes were director of photography Larry Fong (“300”), production designer Alex McDowell (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”), editor William Hoy (“300”), costume designer Michael Wilkinson (“300”), and visual effects supervisor John “DJ” DesJardin (“The Kingdom”). The music is by Tyler Bates (“300”).

Warner Bros. Pictures and Paramount Pictures present, in Association with Legendary Pictures, a Lawrence Gordon/Lloyd Levin Production, a Zack Snyder Film, “Watchmen,” based on the award-winning graphic novel.

“Watchmen” will be distributed domestically by Warner Bros. Pictures and internationally by Paramount Pictures. The film has been rated R by the MPAA for strong graphic violence, sexuality, nudity and language.
