On the JoBlo Movies YouTube channel, we will be posting one full movie every other day throughout the week, giving viewers the chance to watch them entirely free of charge. The Free Movie of the Day we have for you today is the 2005 drama Shadows in the Sun, starring Harvey Keitel and Joshua Jackson. You can watch it over on the YouTube channel linked above, or you can just watch it in the embed at the top of this article.
Written and directed by Brad Mirman, Shadows in the Sun has the following synopsis: Jeremy is a book editor in a London publishing company and is sent on a pointless mission, in Jeremy’s opinion, to a small town in Tuscany, Italy, to sign up Weldon, who hasn’t written anything in 20 years. He eventually finds him and gives him his pitch – getting nowhere. But at least he gets to meet his cute,...

Film noir. What is it? What are its defining characteristics? What films best express its qualities? Sex appeal, violence, cynicism, anti-heroes, femmes fatales, bleak commentary on modern society, maddening twists of fate that perpetuate one’s misery, running away from danger yet never making any ground…noir is and represents a wide variety of things, so much so that film experts do not even agree on whether it is a genre unto itself. (Two of the leading voices, James Ursini and Alain Silver, agree that it represents a movement rather than a definable genre.) For well over two years now, Sound on Sight has hosted the Friday Noir column which, on a near-weekly basis, has covered a great many noir entries of the commonly recognized classic period (1941 to 1959) as well as sizable portion of neo-noirs. Slowly and steadily, the column has explored the extremely exhaustive catalogue of titles with still many to come.

At the height of the Berlin Film Festival, THR informs us that Lucas Foster is joining forces with Gfm Films to bring a casino heist film, The Job, to the big screen.
Foster — who’s produced titles that include Man on Fire, Law Abiding Citizen, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith — will produce the thriller, based on Brad Mirman‘s original script. Guy Collins, the market veteran behind Gfm Films, stated that, for them, “the timing is perfect [...] to discuss the film with distributors during the European Film Market in Berlin.” Mirman has also scripted some lesser known films, including Shadows in the Sun, The Piano Player and the upcoming Sleight of Hand, which he is also directing.
Plot details for the project are pretty scarce, but Collins and Mirman worked together on Highlander 3 and Knight Moves, which should create some hope when it comes to their connection. Although I can...

(Diane Kruger in Inglourious Basterds, above.)
Diane Kruger
The Blockbuster Beauty Goes IndieBy Terry Keefe
[This article originally appeared in 2006 in Venice Magazine. I had lunch with Diane Kruger at the Chateau Marmont, and I remember most distinctly two things: 1. I've never been around anyone in Hollywood who so many guys were trying to get the attention of. Several Hollywood agent types waved to her as they were entering and leaving with greetings like "Hi, beautiful." 2. She was also very polite, much more so than your typical American hot starlet, walking me out afterwards to the valet stand and generally displaying no star attitude whatsoever. She's had a great year with Inglorious Basterds. Nice to see.)
Heads turn when she walks into the restaurant, even in blase L.A. It's a bit redundant to say that she's beautiful, yet the reality is that beautiful might be understating the case. This is a woman who, after all, first came to prominence two years ago when Wolfgang Petersen cast her as Helen of Troy, whose legendary looks were so stunning that nations went to war over her. But once you're past the surface charms of Diane Kruger, what really becomes evident is how seriously she's taking the development of her craft as an actress. After Troy and National Treasure, the easy money would have had her choosing to do another string of Hollywood blockbusters. Not that she's sworn off big budget films by any means, but she's also taken an interesting journey into...

European actress Diane Kruger, who recently made headlines by landing the coveted role of Helen in the Warner Bros. Pictures epic Troy, next stars opposite Nicolas Cage in the Walt Disney Co. feature National Treasure. Kruger will play a Smithsonian museum worker in the film directed by Jon Turteltaub and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Turteltaub and Christina Steinberg. Based on an idea from Turteltaub, Disney marketing chief Oren Aviv and Charles Segers, Treasure is a caper story about a secret code in the U.S. Constitution that bears the whereabouts of a treasure buried during the 1700s. Disney production exec Jason Reed is overseeing for the studio, with a mid-September production start date planned. German-born Kruger, who lives in France, began her career as a ballet dancer and model before making her acting debut in the indie feature The Piano Player opposite Dennis Hopper and Christopher Lambert. Her French film credits include Mon Idole and the upcoming Michel Vaillant. She also appears opposite Josh Hartnett in the upcoming MGM thriller Obsessed. Kruger is repped by Independent Artists Network.

German-born, Paris-based actress Diane Kruger has been tapped to play Helen of Troy in Warner Bros. Pictures/Village Roadshow Pictures' Troy for director Wolfgang Petersen. The project, a sweeping epic based on Homer's Illiad, will be filmed in England, Malta and Los Cabos, Mexico. Principal photography is scheduled to begin April 22 in England. Written by David Benioff, Troy stars Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom, Julie Christie, Peter O'Toole and Garrett Hedlund. Petersen, Diana Rathbun and Colin Wilson are producing. "Diane is not only a stunning beauty but a gifted actress with tremendous emotional depth and presence," Petersen said. "The role of Helen is charged with the grandeur of history and legend. I am confident that Diane has the charisma and artistry that this compelling character demands." Kruger, repped by CAA and Independent Artists Network, began her career as a ballet dancer and model before making her acting debut in last year's indie feature The Piano Player opposite Dennis Hopper and Christopher Lambert. Her French film credits include Mon Idole and the upcoming Michel Vaillant. She recently wrapped shooting opposite Josh Hartnett the untitled MGM/Lakeshore Entertainment production formerly titled Wicker Park.
