The post JFK Thriller “Assassination” to Star Viggo Mortensen, Al Pacino, & More appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>In addition to Pacino, Mortensen, and Travolta, this film will also star Shia LaBeouf (Honey Boy), Rebecca Pidgeon (Heist), and Courtney Love (The People vs. Larry Flynt). On top of directing the film, Mamet also co-wrote the script with Nicholas Celozzi, and the production will kick off in Vancouver, Canada this fall.
Assassination will retell the story of John F. Kennedy’s murder from the mob’s point of view, shifting the focus to the Chicago mob kingpin Sam Giancana. Conspiracy theorists often speculated he was the one who ordered JFK’s assassination as payback for trying to undermine the mob.
Arclight Films’ chairman Gary Hamilton described this film as an absolutely fantastic project, brilliantly crafted by Mamet.
“Assassination is a riveting and gripping thriller set in a pivotal period in American history… With the undeniable talent of David Mamet at the helm and our stellar cast led by Viggo Mortensen, Al Pacino, Shia LaBeouf, and John Travolta, the stars have truly aligned,” said Hamilton.

]]>Bradley Cooper managed to scoop best director award for this critically acclaimed musical about star-crossed lovers. He lost best actor award to Viggo Mortensen, but his co-stars Lady Gaga and Sam Elliott came out swinging in their respective categories, cementing their status as Oscar favorites.
The list of winners includes a couple more Academy Award hopefuls, including Regina King, who collected best supporting actress award for her career-defining turn in If Beale Street Could Talk. It remains to be seen if any of these movies and actors make the cut as awards season progresses, but some of them are a pretty safe bet.

]]>The post “Green Book” Wins People’s Choice Award at TIFF 2018 appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>Green Book wasn’t even in the picture before this festival wrapped up, and movies like A Star Is Born and First Man were all people could talk about. Oscar race shifted once TIFF audience picked this buddy movie as their favorite since winners of this award often posed a serious threat during the Oscar ceremony.
Previous honorees of this award were Best Picture winners Chariots of Fire, American Beauty, Slumdog Millionaire, The King’s Speech and 12 Years a Slave. Additional 11 People’s Choice Award winners ended up scoring Best Picture nomination in the past. The first and second runner-up also did pretty great, and that honor belonged to the movies If Beale Street Could Talk and Roma this time around.
We’ll have to wait until November 21 to see if Green Book really deserved this prestigious award. That’s the date when this dramedy directed by Peter Farrelly hits the theaters. It centers on a working-class bouncer, who becomes the driver of a classical pianist during his tour through the 1960s American South. It stars Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, who received an Oscar for Moonlight.
