Alice Englert and Jack O'Connell are about to get all Southern gothic.
The two young thespians will soon be heading to the Big Easy as they've been cast in the lead roles of the romantic supernatural mystery, "Beautiful Creatures," according to Variety.
"Beautiful Creatures" is based on the first book of a trilogy by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl and tells the tale of Lena Duchannes (Englert) and Ethan Wate (O'Connell), two teenagers who uncover dark secrets about their families, their history and their town. Englert and O'Connell join current Oscar nominee Viola Davis, who was cast last week in the role of Amma, a sort of surrogate mother to Ethan.
Alice Englert recently wrapped Roland Joffe's epic action adventure romance, "Singularity," and is set to appear in "Bomb," Sally Potter's dark comedy about two teenage girls in 1960s London. She also happens to be the daughter of filmmaker Jane Campion,...

The Somnambulists
Directed by Richard Jobson
UK, 2011
The title of Richard Jobson’s second film, one part political screed and one part disturbing documentary on the terrible Iraq debacle serves twin purposes – to witness the hypnotised fashion in which a sleep-walking population was seduced into supporting the war by a complacent media, and to honour the dead and wounded, both emotionally and physically, who have suffered in the appalling carnage of the past eight years. The film straddles that fine line between documentary and fiction with Jobson scribing fifteen soliloquies, some moving and some harrowing reports from the home and foreign fronts that he has culled from years of interviewing over 200 servicemen and women who served and some who have perished in a brutal war that already seems to be receding into the history books.
After a context-setting text crawl, a series of actors and actresses perform their speeches, shot...

Richard Jobson's committed, imaginative response to our collective apathy to the war in Iraq.
In 2008, Edinburgh artist Joanna Kane had an exhibition, entitled The Somnambulists, at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery. Comprising new photographs of facial masks cast 150-200 years ago by the Edinburgh Phrenological Society, this collection gave a haunting sort life to the images of people who had in fact died before they could ever be photographed.
Inspired by this exhibition, and horrified by his - and a nation's - apathy towards the recent invasion and occupation of Iraq,...

After Sandra Hebron's nine years as artistic director, the BFI London film festival is enjoying record attendance and international acclaim. She tells Adam Dawtrey how it was done
For someone who describes her own taste in movies as "austere", Sandra Hebron certainly knows how to give audiences at the BFI London film festival a good time. Her nine-year reign as artistic director, which ends with the 55th edition, has coincided with the rising popularity of the event, an increase in glitz and red carpet glamour without ever compromising its commitment to serious cinema, and its transformation into a festival of genuine international stature.
Hebron, an elfin figure whose trademark knee-high black leather boots have their own fans, is leaving the festival on an all-time high, with last year's attendance a record 132,000, up 20% from when she took over in 2003. No wonder that the British Film Institute made sure to protect the...

From the 12th to the 27th of October the 55th BFI London Film Festival brings its annual box of delights to the capital. Earlier today the full programme was announced, and it look like being another fine year.
We already know that Fernando Meirelles’ latest 360 will open proceedings on the 12th and fifteen days later Terence Davies’ The Deep Blue Sea will bring the festival to a close but there are many more great films to come and see in London this October.
There was a familiar feeling creeping across the audience this morning that a lot of the films had, like last year, already played elsewhere but this is only a small consideration when you consider the scope of the festival’s remit. To bring a vital, fresh and horizon-expanding series of features, shorts and documentaries is no easy task, and while the more well known films have played...
