Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (20th Century Fox) Sequel to the seminal 1980s film catches up with a weathered, but still determined Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas, who seems to savor every syllable of Allan Loeb and Stephen Schiff’s screenplay) just out of jail and back on the comeback trail. In attempting to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter (Carey Mulligan), Gekko forges a reluctant alliance with her fiancé (Shia Labeouf), himself an ambitious young turk who finds himself seduced by Gekko’s silver tongue and promise of riches. Lifeless film is further evidence of director Oliver Stone’s decline. Once America’s most exciting filmmaker, Stone hasn’t delivered a film with any teeth since 1995’s Nixon. Labeouf and Mulligan generate no sparks on-screen, and the story feels forced from the protracted opening to the final, Disney-esque denouement. Only a brief cameo by Charlie Sheen,...

What’s this? A new trailer for Tim Blake Nelson’s Leaves of Grass with twice the usual amount of Norton? Looks that way. Nelson, known for his off-kilter character work in films like O’ Brother, Wher Art Thou?, Holes and Minority Report, is directing and starring in this story of identical twins who conspire to take on a small-town drug lord together.
The plot synopsis sounds like an action movie, but the trailer is it’s own quirky little beast, with Edward Norton starring as both twins–one a shaggy pot dealer and the other a straight-laced Ivy League professor– and Richard Dreyfuss as the crime boss. Nelson looks to be recycling his usual, scruffy yokel and Keri Russell steps in to add the romantic interest, with Susan Sarandon playing the mother of the twins.
I think this has more than a little of the Coens’ Bros. feel to it,...

AICN has debuted brand new poster for “Leaves of Grass” starring Edward Norton (twice) as two brothers.
Norton #1 stars as Bill Kincaid, a college classics professor who is lured home from the Ivy League to the backwoods of Southeastern Oklahoma by his identical twin (Norton #2), a hedonistic, pot-smoking career criminal.
The comedy also stars Tim Blake Nelson, Susan Sarandon, Richard Dreyfuss, Keri Russell, Lucy DeVito, Steve Earle and Josh Pais.
Check out the full poster after the jump
“Leaves of Grass” is both written and directed by Tim Blake Nelson (Eye of God, Othello, The Grey Zone). The film was produced independently by Nelson and Norton and first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival 2009. It does not have a Us distributor yet, as far as we know, but will probably pick up one and hit theaters sometime in 2010.
If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can check it out here.

Back Stage asked some of James Earl Jones' co-stars to share their memories of working with the legendary actor. Their responses -- ranging from words of praise and anecdotes to a genuine original poem -- are presented here, with gratitude to these generous stars in their own rights."Working with James Earl Jones in Of Mice and Men was a master class in acting. He was absolutely brilliant and generous, and I cherish it. He bent over backwards to give me the moments I needed in the scenes we shared. My work in that play is one of the things I'm most proud of. And that's largely because of him." -- Kevin Conway"Working with Jimmy was a total delight. The play, A Lesson From Aloes, was so demanding. We'd go out on a limb together, and no matter what I tried, I knew he'd be there to catch me.

James Earl Jones is apologizing for running late. Calling from his upstate New York home, he explains that he was outside shoveling ice when he remembered he had an interview. "The trees are frozen solid," he says. "I can hear the limbs snap." That booming basso profundo, the gravitas he gives to each sentence, the way he accentuates the word snap -- you can almost feel the freezing wind. Without even trying, Jones is speaking poetry.Of course, the actor, who turns 78 on Jan. 17, is known for being much more than just a pretty voice. In more than 50 years in the theatre, he has tackled such classic roles as Othello and King Lear and created indelible characters like prizefighter Jack Jefferson in Howard Sackler's Pulitzer Prize–winning play The Great White Hope. His work in films ranging from the classic (Field of Dreams, as the voice of Darth Vader...
