OSCARS: Jonah Hill Moneyball

It stands to reason that Moneyball, a dramatic film about taking second chances on unproven talent, would cast a comedic performer opposite Brad Pitt. Having long been branded the master of deadpan in Judd Apatows canon, Jonah Hill aimed for the bleachers and lobbied for the role (after Demetri Martin fell out)of Oakland A’s stat-head Peter Brand,who persuades Pitts general manager Billy Beane to radically change his ways in Sonys feature take on Michael Lewis novel.It was a natural progression in range for Hill, who had already shown a fierce literal side as the mamas boy in 2010s Cyrus.He spoke recently with AwardsLine contributor Anthony D’Alessandro. AWARDSLINE: As a comedy actor, did you face any challenges from the director or studio heads over your capability to play drama? HILL: I didnt audition. I showed Bennett [Miller] Cyrus before it came out and thats what they cast me from. You know I was at the bottom of a list of actors who werent known for their dramatic work. I knew Bennett socially and he knew I was eager to break out of whatever box I was in. As a respected filmmaker he wanted to make an unsuspecting choice. And [Sony Pictures co-chairman] Amy Pascal and I had a really great relationship coming off of Superbad. She knew I was trying to do more dramatic work. Regarding those comedic performers who segue to drama; out of my generation I think I made the most effort do both. If you think of my last two films last year, Cyrus and Get Him To The Greek come out a month apart and now I have Moneyball and The Sitter coming out about a month apart [almost three, actually]. Those two films two years in a row are completely unrecognizable and thats the career I strive to have. AWARDSLINE: I ask because one of the faults of this business is that people love to pigeonhole. HILL: Its easy. Im guilty of it as well. Why waste the time trying to get to know every single person that you dont even know in your real life when you have friends and family you need to get to know. So if someone is an actor or entertainer, its easy [for a director] to say, “That guy does this thing, on to the next.” Im guilty of it as anyone, thats why I make an effort to do different things. Ive been lucky between Cyrus and Moneyball that people have accepted me as a dramatic actor. AWARDSLINE: When you sought to make a change in roles with Cyrus and Moneyball, I imagine its a team effort. Its you at bat with your agents, managers and the casting director muscling. HILL: The beauty of my position is that as a comedy actor, because the comedies Ive made have been successful, Im valuable to getting movies made by acting in them. These people [directors] are trying to put together their movies from a financial point of view. The fact that I have movies that people have gone out to go see, is meaningful. A movie like Cyrus helps get made because of my involvement and I help make that movie because I am anxious to do something different. Its like one hand washes the other. AWARDSLINE: How did the role of Peter Brand speak to you? HILL: I thought it was a beautiful story from my characters point of view, about a guy who blends into the wall and how a big spotlight that shines on him changes his life and makes him grow. AWARDSLINE: When you were prepping for your role of Peter Brand, I understand you hung out with Paul DePodesta, who was the assistant to [Oakland As general manager] Billy Beane and a pivotal character in Michael Lewis novel. Is Peter a variation on Paul? HILL: Peter is a character that myself, Aaron, Bennett and Steve created. Hes an amalgamation. In him are elements of those guys who worked for Billy and elements of a person who never had a light shown on them before. In preparing for the role, I spent as much time in MLB front offices as I could as well as with Paul who was using saber metrics at that time. AWARDLINE: I know youre an excellent improviser. Was there ample opportunity to veer from the script? HILL: We would improvise, but when Aaron Sorkin and Steve Zaillian write the script, its less of an improvisational environment. Bennett is a detailed, elegant filmmaker and I think he was searching for those little raw moments. He taught me a lot about the words not mattering in that its not the words youre saying, its what youre feeling and sometimes the words may not match up with what youre feeling at all. AWARDSLINE:Are you a member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences? HILL:No, but I presented an award a few years back. [Editors note: Hill co-presented the sound editing Oscar in 2008 with Seth Rogen, where they debated over who gave off a more Halle Berry vibe.]

Academy awards Q&A: Jessica Chastain Around The Help, Keeping Busy, Doing What She Likes

Has anybody posted Jessica Chastain towards the Guinness Book of World Records? She should have set an archive this season to have an actor making her feature film debut (The Tree Of Existence) and following up most abundant in films ever — seven! — to be released within the following six several weeks (Chastain really shot 11 movies within the last 4 years).1 of 2 nominees for the best Supporting Actress within the Help (another is Octavia Spencer), Chastain spoke on the telephone from The other agents with AwardsLine contributor Ari Karpel concerning the whirlwind shes been in, dealing with Terrence Malick, and her nicely expressed disdain for the possible lack of roles that arent the wife. AWARDSLINE: Thinking about how prolific you're, I imagine you aren't in Marrakech on holiday. CHASTAIN:Guess what happens? It is indeed my vacation! I had been in Toronto, shooting a film known as Mama, created by Guillermo del Toro. It had been a really lengthy shoot and that we were dealing with weekends, and that i finished on Thursday and went right to the airport terminal arrive at Marrakech. This is actually the very first time this season I am not going somewhere to film something or promote something. Im with my closest friend, Jess, and Im looking at the jury from the Marrakech [Worldwide] Film Festival, that is so exciting. I dont do beach holidays making this type of an average holiday for me — I recieve to visit see movies and discuss them. AWARDSLINE: What's surprised you concerning the new-to-you procedure for marketing a film upon release after which campaigning for possible honours? CHASTAIN: It has been probably the most intense six several weeks I believe Ill have during my existence. Its only a really, really steep learning curve. I had been so scared, everybody stored saying “Its so tough,” “Its soul drawing.” And, yes, sometimes you receive requested exactly the same silly question again and again again, but youre also being requested interesting questions regarding acting, also it makes me wish to talk. But so far as honours campaigning, I dont really realize that. Most people are responsible for campaigning, as well as for me Im just excited which i reach discuss a movie. AWARDSLINE: Coriolanuscame out and also you got great reviews again. CHASTAIN: [I dont read reviews] because if you think maybe a great review, then you've to think a poor review. Used to do a play in class and also the NY Occasions came and all sorts of the review stated [about me] was “Chastain will get paler because the evening progresses.” [Laughing] And all sorts of I recall thinks about the problem, “What does which means that?! How do you not get paler?!” I have no idea what related to that. AWARDSLINE: When The Tree Of Existence arrived on the scene all of a sudden you began getting scripts for encouraging mother roles. Has got the trend ongoing? CHASTAIN: I believe because the Tree Of Existence was the very first factor to be released, they saw me as that character, consider i quickly think they have no idea things to see me as. Following The Debt, I certainly began benefiting from harder figures, however i will say that almost all things i read is perfect for the encouraging wife towards the husband who's charge from the film, and Ive made the decision that unless of course its something which I havent done before, [to] go and do theater rather. AWARDSLINE: Take Shelter is among the best-examined films of the season it appears to possess drawn on right into a fear that weve lost control, which feels very relevant. CHASTAIN: I absolutely can connect with that story. [Author-director] Shaun [Nichols] is wonderful. In Take Shelter, using the storm coming, its like King Lear using the coming winds, when Lear begins to visit mad. I dont think Shaun is even aware when hes doing the work, but his tales are extremely modern, they've their finger around the pulse of what is happening in today's world however their styles are actually grand. I believe thats the manifestation of an essential filmmaker and that i plan to utilize him again and again again. AWARDSLINE: With the films you'd emerge this season, it is possible to movie that received more attention than you would expect, and something that got under you believe it warrants? CHASTAIN: Your Debt had this type of good opening weekend which i dont view it like a failure, however i do feel that it's in some way forgotten. I loved making that film. John Madden did this type of terrific job, and that i was surprised it didnt possess a longer existence. Also Wilde Salome, that we did with Al Pacino, we do not have a distributor yet, and thats surprising in my experience. However I have belief that that certain will ultimately emerge. I simply always expect a movie to become received well. Maybe I live a existence of hope. AWARDSLINE: The Assistance certainly had legs. CHASTAIN: When i first learned about The Assistance from my grandmother she was such keen on it, so when she saw [the film] and loved it, I figured, “OK, it passed the Grandmother Test,” and so i understood the relaxation from the audience want it too. AWARDSLINE: Amongst other things approaching, youre voicing a personality within the next animated Madagascar. That appears as an unlikely choice. CHASTAIN: I fought against for this. I wish to do various things than Ive done before. My character is really a sultry Italian jaguar. I never once thought I'd play an Italian person because Im a redhead, and so i thought, “Thisll produce an opportunity to focus on that accent.” And That I make a start with Ben Stiller! My jaguar works together with his lion a great deal. Every couple of several weeks theyll call and request to complete another session beside me. Its greatly like [dealing with Terrence Malick, really. [Laughs]

Antipiracy bills delayed in Congress

Hollywood-backed antipiracy legislation stalled out on Capitol Hill today, as Senate and House versions were delayed to come up with major changes to the bills.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said that he is postponing a vote on a Senate version of antipiracy legislation, after a storm of protest and a defection of a number of supporters made it doubtful that he had the votes to get the bill to the floor.Reid had stood firm on plans to hold a procedural vote on the PROTECT IP Act on Tuesday, but announced today that more time was needed to work out a compromise.Reid said in a statement, "I admire the work that Chairman Leahy has put into this bill. I encourage him to continue engaging with all stakeholders to forge a balance between protecting Americans' intellectual property, and maintaining openness and innovation on the internet. We made good progress through the discussions we've held in recent days, and I am optimistic that we can reach a compromise in the coming weeks."In the House, Judiciary Committee chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) said that the committee would postpone consideration of the Stop Online Piracy Act until there is wider agreement on a solution."The committee will continue work with both copyright owners and Internet companies to develop proposals that combat online piracy and protect America's intellectual property," Smith said. "We welcome input from all organizations and individuals who have an honest difference of opinion about how to address this widespread problem."He said that after hearing from critics, "It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves that steal and sell American inventions and products."One of the chief critics of the legislation in the House, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), has introduced alternative legislation on which content owners could file complaints with the International Trade Commission to take steps to choke off support of sites that traffic in infringing content. But supporters of SOPA and PROTECT IP say that the proposal would expand the bureaucracy and that the remedy for fighting piracy would not be effective.The response from Rupert Murdoch, via Twitter: "Mega loads! One week earlier and things would be different. Even some solons may have recovered their courage."Leahy said that he hopes "other members of Congress won't simply stand on hollow promises to find a way to eliminate online theft by foreign rogue websites, and will instead work with me to send a bill to the President's desk this year."But Leahy, perhaps the most visible champion of the legislation in Congress, had hoped that despite the online protest this week the Senate could have a vigorous floor debate on Tuesday.He added that the "day will come when the Senators who forced this move will look back and realize they made a knee-jerk reaction to a monumental problem. Somewhere in China today, in Russia today, and in many other countries that do not respect American intellectual property, criminals who do nothing but peddle in counterfeit products and stolen American content are smugly watching how the United States Senate decided it was not even worth debating how to stop the overseas criminals from draining our economy."

PGA unwraps film, TV noms

'The Artist''Hugo''The Girl using the Dragon Tattoo''The Help'Opting mostly for mainstream studio game titles, the Producers Guild of America has drawn on 10 nominees because of its top feature award -- "The Artist," "Bridesmaids," "The Descendants," "The Lady using the Dragon Tattoo," "The Assistance,Inch "Hugo," "The Ides of March," "Night time in Paris," "Moneyball," and "War Equine." The PGA, which introduced the noms because of its Daryl F. Zanuck award Tuesday morning, will disclose the champion Jan. 21 at its honours gala in the Beverly Hilton. The PGA list comprised largely of honours season management and contained merely a couple of mild surprises in "Bridesmaids" "The Lady using the Dragon Tattoo" and "Ides of March." From the PGA nominees, only "The Lady with Dragon Tattoo" wasn't named recently like a Golden Globes feature nominee. Notable PGA exclusions incorporated "50/50," "Drive," "Very Noisy & Incredibly Close," "J. Edgar," "Harry Potter and also the Deathly Hallows: Part 2," "My Week with Marilyn," "Super 8," "Mess, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" and "The Tree of Existence." "50/50" and "My Week with Marilyn receieved Golden Globe" nods. Casts of "The Artist," "Bridesmaids," "The Descendants," "The AssistanceInch and "Night time in Paris" received SAG ensemble nominations recently. Uni's "Bridesmaids" and Disney/DreamWorks' "The AssistanceInch would be the greatest box office achievements from the 10 PGA nominees with $169 million each in domestic grosses then Sony's "Moneyball" at $74 million. The Weinstein Co.'s "The Artist" is undoubtedly the littlest domestic grosser at $5 million as the next littlest are Fox Searchlight's "The Descendants" and Sony's "Ides of March" at $40 million each. The PGA made the decision in This summer to stay with 10 nominees because of its top feature award instead of following a modified voting methods from the Academy of movement Picture Arts & Sciences, which modified its voting in June to some system that will lead to between five and ten best picture nominees every year. Oscar noms is going to be introduced Jan. 24. The producers branch of AMPAS has 8Percent from the voting membership with 450 people from 5,783. Producer Letty Aronson, nominated for Woodsy Allen's "Night time in Paris," told Variety the pic most likely resonated with PGA voters because of the universality of their theme and it is $18 million budget. "I believe the PGA voters were impressed using the whole concept of getting a better some time and place, the industry fantasy that everybody has," added Aronson, who's Allen sister and longtime producer. "And that we succeeded on the minor budget." A maximum of 24 producers were drawn on as PGA nominees: Thomas Langmann for "The Artist" Judd Apatow, Craig Mendel and Clayton Townsend for "Bridesmaids" Jim Burke, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor for "The Descendants" Cean Chaffin, Scott Rudin for "The Lady using the Dragon Tattoo" Michael Barnathan, Chris Columbus and Brunson Eco-friendly for "The AssistanceInch Graham King and Martin Scorsese for "Hugo" George Clooney, Grant Heslov and John Oliver for "Ides" Letty Aronson and Stephen Tenenbaum for "Night time in Paris" Michael P Luca, Rachael Horovitz and Kaira Pitt for "Moneyball" and Kathleen Kennedy and Steven Spielberg for "War Equine." "That one means a great deal to us," Heslov stated. "To obtain identified by other producers to have an adult drama having a 12.5 billion dollar budget, which was really only a labor of affection, it is simply terrific."Horovitz, who started focusing on "Moneyball" nine years back, stated, "It is a miracle when something works out in addition to you wished it might.InchIn the past, about 80% of PGA nominations also get an Oscar nom for the best picture. Last year's list matched up on nine from the 10 nods using the PGA using the only divergence around the PGA choosing for "The CityInch while AMPAS opted for "Winter's Bone."15 from the 22 PGA those who win go onto win the Oscar for the best picture and also have matched up during the last 4 years with "The King's Speech," "The Hurt Locker," "Slumdog Uniform" and "No Country for Old Males." Last year's PGA victory by "The King's Speech" symbolized something of the level within the honours season, which in fact had seen "The Social Networking" carry a lot of the momentum at that time. The PGA champion last diverged in the Oscar Best Picture for that 2006 award when "Little Miss Sunshine" won as the AMPAS elected for "The Departed." It is the third year where the PGA, that has over 4,750 people, has selected 10 films as challengers, in following a lead from the Academy to grow the area from five slots. Both orgs make use of a preferential voting system for his or her best picture award. The PGA's choices of accredited producers happen to be utilized by AMPAS within the last 4 years as recommendations in identifying the nominated producers within the Oscar best picture category, however the Academy has enforced a restriction since 1998 of three nominated producers per film -- even though it did exceed that in 2008 when four producers were incorporated for "The Readers" as well as in 2010 for "The Hurt Locker." Spielberg and Kennedy received another PGA jerk on Tuesday within the animated category for "The Adventures of Tintin" together with the producers of "Cars 2," "Kung Fu Panda 2," "Puss in Boots" and "Rango." "Toy Story 3" won the award this past year. The nominees in longform TV incorporated a trio of Cinemax game titles -- "Cinema Verite," "Mildred Pierce" and "Too Large to Fail" -- together with "Downton Abbey" and "The Kennedys."
