Alan Rickman, British actor and director, says new film A Little Chaos draws 'modern parallels' for women

 YAHOO NEWS

British actor and director Alan Rickman is widely known for his role as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films.

He has worked on both sides of the camera for his new film A Little Chaos, which tackles issues faced by women past and present.

Rickman describes A Little Chaos as human, true and timeless.

Set in 1682, the romantic drama follows Kate Winslet's character Sabine, a talented landscape designer chosen to build one of the main gardens at King Louis XIV's new palace at Versailles.

Sabine challenges gender and class barriers and becomes involved with the court's renowned landscape artist André Le Notre, played by Matthias Schoenaerts.

"When you ... watch it, I kind of hope that you will all forget about the period and see all sorts of modern parallels," Rickman told Jane Hutcheon on One Plus One.


Rickman reflects on women's roles in both eras, noting the writer's choice to take a period where women were merely decorative objects with no function.

"It's sad that the situation still persists, I mean, you still have women as decorative objects all over the media," he said.

Rickman admires the writing for allowing Schoenaerts' character to show his feminine side and Winslet's character to show her masculine side.

"And neither of them as actors is afraid of that. And I think that creates a great sexual tension between them," Rickman said.

Rickman is a feminist who has encountered strong women throughout his life, including his partner Rima Horton, who is a former Labour Party candidate and lecturer of economics.

"There's nothing wrong with a man being a feminist — I think it's to our mutual advantage," he said.

Rickman was born on a council estate in West London to Margaret Doreen Rose and Bernard Rickman in 1946, around five months after the end of World War II.

When Rickman was eight years old his father died of cancer, leaving his mother to seek out work to feed her family.

But he does not dwell on the hardship, harking back to the story of A Little Chaos when recalling his mother's strength.

"She was a tigress. She could do anything ... all those female things, sew cook and clean — she took care of those things without even thinking about it because she had been trained by her mother," he said.

Seth Rogen films scenes with Michael Fassbender on new biopic based on the Apple founder's life

On-screen alter-egos: Michael Fassbender (as Steve Jobs) and Seth Rogen (as Steve Wozniak) filmed scenes for the new biopic based on the Apple founder's life in California on Friday

Michael Fassbender has just begun filming his role as Steve Jobs in a new biopic about the Apple founder's life.

And he was joined on the set of the film in Cupertino, California on Friday by his co-star Seth Rogen.
The actor - who normally takes on comedy roles - is taking on the role of Jobs' Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak in the Danny Boyle-directed movie.

Fassbender started filming scenes for the long-awaited biopic earlier in the week, resembling the technology icon as he was back in 1984, the period in which the film is set.

And he was joined for filming by Rogen, who looked to be completely embodying Jobs' famous colleague Wozniak, sporting a full beard and typical 1980s garb.

He appeared to have completely put behind him the recent furore surrounding the infamous Sony hacking and his movie with James Franco The Interview, which depicts an assassination attempt against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.



Meanwhile, 37-year-old Fassbender looked just like Steve Jobs in a sharp oversized suit and bow tie, his usually-bearded face cleanly shaved for the role with his hair grown out and slicked back.

In the midst of filming, the actors were seen talking to director Boyle in the idyllic, leafy location, set near the site where Apple Inc. has its famous headquarters.



There was no sign on Friday of the film's newest recruit, Kate Winslet, who was recently revealed to be taking on the role of former Macintosh marketing chief Joanna Hoffman.

The movie has had a tumultuous birth, going through a long list of directors and actors before settling on the current line-up, with most of the behind the scenes turmoil spilling out into the public domain during last year's infamous hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment.

The rights for the book on which the film is based, Walter Isaacson's biography Steve Jobs, was initially purchased by Sony, with David Fincher tipped to direct, and Christian Bale set to play the eponymous lead.

Colin Firth to team with Kate Winslet?



FILM NEWS
added: 2 Nov 2013 // by: Film-News.co.uk Newsdesk

Colin Firth and Kate Winslet have been linked to a movie about a duplicitous yacht racer.

The British stars have apparently read the screenplay about Donald Crowhurst, a man who duped loved ones and race officials into believing he spent 240 days circumnavigating the world alone. It seems Colin and Kate are in early discussions to play the main characters – with Colin up for the role of Donald and Kate in talks to portray his wife Clare.


Donald grabbed headlines and the public’s heart when he set out on the dangerous journey in 1968. He was expected to return the following year, with nine other competitors also taking part in the race. However, he was too ill-equipped and inexperienced for the voyage, and his yacht sprung a leak.

Realising he had lost too much ground on his competitors, Donald decided to trick people by falsifying his location on the ship-to-shore messages. His story captured attention around the world, and Donald soon felt the pressure of his lie as he was driven mad trying to keep up the deception.

Colin Firth and 'sea widow' Kate Winslet hit choppy waters in new film

Colin Firth is rumoured to take the lead cheat role as Donald Crowhurst against Kate Winslet as his long suffering 'sea widow' Clare

Colin Firth and Kate Winslet are in very early discussions about starring in a film based on an infamous yacht-racing cheat whose misadventure on the high seas more than four decades ago still haunts his family.

The actors, both Oscar winners, have read a screenplay by Scott Burns about how Donald Crowhurst duped his family, race organisers and the public into believing that he had spent 240 days circumnavigating the globe in a prestigious single-handed, non-stop odyssey.

Firth would portray Crowhurst, with Winslet playing his wife, Clare — who was known at the time as the ‘sea widow’.

Crowhurst set out in 1968 and was expected to return home the following year after the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race.
The public’s imagination had been fired by reports of  derring-do on the high seas, following Francis Chichester’s triumphant sea-faring voyage, and so tales of incredible endurance on treacherous oceans were as exciting to follow as, say, last year’s London Olympics.

Of the nine competitors in the race, Crowhurst was the worst equipped and the least qualified. His trimaran, Teignmouth Electron, was slow, and then it sprung a leak.

‘This bloody boat is just falling to pieces!’ he wrote in his log.
He was so far behind the others that he set in motion a plan to deceive the world by falsifying his locations on the ship-to-shore messages sent from his Marconi radio (remember: this was the pre-digital age!).

Crowhurst slowly went mad, trying to keep up with his deceptions about his whereabouts. It’s a fascinating story, and was massive at the time.

Kate Winslet Is Expecting Her Third Baby!!! (PEREZ HILTON)


We are officially on baby bump watch, people!

Kate Winslet has confirmed that she is expecting her first baby with husband Ned Rocknroll!

The actress already has 12-year-old Mia and 9-year-old Joe, and since they have regular names, we’re guessing this new addition will too.

Then again, her husband’s name is Rocknroll, so you have to try and play on that, right? RIGHT?!

Kate Winslet, Theo James, Ray Stevenson: New “Dauntless” Initiation Pic Of Shailene Woodley’s Tris Prior In ‘Divergent’


DIVERGENT New Dauntless Initiation Pic Of Shailene Woodleys Tris Prior In ‘Divergent’

EW has debuted this new still from the feature adaptation of ‘Divergent.’ Alongside Shailene Woodley, ‘Divergent’ stars Theo James, Kate Winslet, Maggie Q, Jai Courtney, Miles Teller, Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Ben Lamb, Christian Madsen, Ray Stevenson, Mekhi Phifer, and Amy Newbold.

The above image shows Shailene Woodley’s Tris Prior out on a ledge and perched to jump as part of initiation into her faction. For those of who haven’t read the books, in the dystopian world of ‘Divergent,’ all of society is divided into five factions: Abnegation (selfless); Erudite (intelligent); Candor (honest); Amity (peaceful) and Dauntless (brave). Our sixteen-year-old heroine has chosen the Dauntless faction, which involves a lot of very scary initiation tests.

“In this photo she’s already jumped off the train and onto a seven story building as part of the initiation rite for the Dauntless,” explains director Neil Burger (Limitless, The Illusionist). “The next thing they have to do is jump from the building and down through a courtyard that has a deep, black hole. It’s terrifying.”

And filming this scene sounds almost as frightening. “We’d been nervously planning it because it is dangerous and there’s a lot of people on that roof,” says Neil Burger. “We had to pull it off safely and also pull it off cinematically, so you have this knot in your stomach as you watch this young woman decide to do this crazy thing. We had great weather that day and I think this scene really is emblematic of the movie: It shows the energy and the rawness of the way we’re telling the story,” he says.

The cast of actors all have to do all sorts of stomach-lurching things, such as jumping off of elevated trains and scaling great heights. Their director says they’re a group ready for any challenge, especially his leading lady. “Shailene says she’s not afraid of heights but that she’s afraid of falling,” says the director, with a laugh. “This makes perfect sense to me. But she really did stand on that ledge—this is a real photo. She’s incredibly game and so adventurous. In a way, she’s very Dauntless.”

‘Divergent’ is described as a thrilling adventure set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities, Tris Prior (Shailene Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it’s too late.

Michelle Dockery: A hot potato for Lady Mary as she takes on new lead role By BAZ BAMIGBOYE (MAIL ON LINE)



Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery is in negotiations to play the lead in the movie adaptation of best-selling novel The Guernsey Literary And Potato Peel Pie Society, set during and after World War II.

Michelle has been offered the role, but there’s no deal in place yet.

But various parties involved hope the actress will be available to start preparing for filming after shooting ends on the fourth series of ITV’s Downton in August.

The movie, based on Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’s tale of a magazine writer who uncovers the story of a book society, established on Nazi-occupied Guernsey in order to fool curfew patrols, is being directed by Simon Curtis.

Mr Curtis happens to be married to Elizabeth McGovern, Michelle’s Downton screen mother.

Curtis took over as director from Kenneth Branagh, who had planned to make the picture with Kate Winslet.

Alan Rickman, Kate Winslet: Kate gets back with her Sense and Sensibility husband (... and doesn't she look really thrilled about it!) (DAILY MAIL)


By LARA GOULD
PUBLISHED: 19:58 EST, 20 April 2013 | UPDATED: 19:59 EST, 20 April 2013

The last time Kate Winslet looked this bedraggled she was playing Alan Rickman’s bride in Sense And Sensibility – the role that catapulted her to international stardom.

But the actress didn’t exactly look overjoyed when she joined forces with him again to shoot scenes for new film A Little Chaos last week.

With her hair lank and unstyled, and wearing a loose-fitting blue dressing gown, her image certainly fitted the film’s title.

A Little Chaos tells the story of two rival landscape gardeners  in 17th Century France vying for the favour of King Louis XIV for the chance to design a new fountain at his Versailles palace.

The movie, which has taken five years to bring to the big screen, also stars Belgian actor Matthias  Schoenaerts.

It does not look as if director Rickman, 67, is asking Kate to revive  the glamorous roles she played in Titanic and The Holiday.

The project marks a return to work for Kate, 37, who has been enjoying something of an extended honeymoon since her December marriage to third husband Ned Rocknroll, 34, the nephew of Virgin tycoon Sir Richard Branson.

Divergent Begins Production, Mekhi Phifer And Ray Stevenson Join The Cast Author: Kelly West (CINEMA BLEND)



Following on the huge success of the Twilight franchise, Summit-Lionsgate continues to target the young adult audience with feature adaptations of popular book series. We have The Hunger Games: Catching Fire to look forward to this fall, along with the sci-fi film Ender's Game. And coming to theaters next March (2014) is Divergent, the feature adaptation of the first novel in Veronica Roth's YA dystopian series. The film has added two more to its cast and has begun production this week.

Summit announced today that production on the anticipation film Divergent began today in Chicago, which is where the story is set. It should be interesting to see how Chicago is transformed for the film, as the story is set in the future in what's left of the Windy City. Residents in the rundown city are divided into five factions, which determine a person's way of life. In the film, Shailiene Woodley will play the lead character Tris, a young woman who comes of age and must decide if she will stay with her family's faction or choose a different path. The twist is that, prior to deciding, she learns that she's "Divergent," which is not a good thing, and means she'll never fully fit into one faction. Tris keeps this secret as she makes her choice and joins other trainees as they undergo a series of tests to find their place among their faction.

Alan Rickman tends to his own garden, back in director’s chair By Marlee Walters JANUARY 21, 2013 (CRITICAL MOB)



Rival landscape gardeners, hear us out: Alan Rickman.

Rickman hasn't directed since 1997 and hasn't teamed up with Kate Winslet since 1995's Sense and Sensibility, but that doesn't mean he's lost his touch. He's directing a period piece about two rival landscape gardeners (Winslet and Rust and Bone's Matthias Schoenaerts) commissioned to create a fountain for Louis XIV.

ALAN RICKMAN: Kate Winslet & Matthias Schoenaerts To Star In Alan Rickman Directed Period Drama 'A Little Chaos' NEWS BY KEVIN JAGERNAUTH JANUARY 17, 2013 8:25 P (INDIEWIRE)



Persistence pays off it would seem. To date, celebrated actor Alan Rickman only has one feature film directing credit to his name, 1997's "The Winter Guest," and while we've yet to see a sophomore effort, it hasn't been for lack of trying. Rickman has had a couple of projects percolating over the years, but the one that he's stuck with has been "A Little Chaos." It looks like his determination has finally yielded some results, with two great actors on board and a start date in sight.

Baz Bamigboye reveals that Kate Winslet and "Rust & Bone" star Matthias Schoenaerts will topline the Rickman directed "A Little Chaos." Penned by Allison Deegan, the film will tell the unique story of rival landscapes gardeners who are both commissioned to create a fountain at Versailles by Louis XIV. Winslet and Schoenaerts will spar in the main roles, and Rickman has been busy scouting locations and revising the script in preparation for a spring shoot. It will be Winslet's second time up to bat with Rickman, co-starring with him in "Sense & Sensibility," while Schoenaerts adds the project to a very busy 2013 slate that also includes "Suite Francaise" with Michelle Williams. The guy sure knows how to pick his projects.

Kate Winslet becomes Mrs RocknRoll: if it’s down to practice, this will be perfect We can but hope that the 'unusual’ Ned Abel Smith brings the British Hollywood star lasting happiness (TELEGRAPH)


By William Langley7:00AM GMT 30 Dec 2012


It can be only the real thing for the new Mr and Mrs RocknRoll, even if everything else in their lives might appear a touch make-believe. They are old hands at the marriage game, these glamorous thirtysomethings, and you have to hope that this time they know what they’re doing.

Mr RocknRoll, who used to be a popular London party boy called Ned Abel Smith, took Kate Winslet to be his wife at a small, unannounced ceremony shortly before Christmas. The groom, who apparently made up his new name because he didn’t think the old one was enough fun, works for Virgin Galactic as “Head of Marketing Promotion and Astronaut Experience”, a job title he also made up.

According to his former wife, Eliza Pearson, the heiress daughter of Viscount Cowdray, he nevertheless takes the job seriously: “He would say to me, 'There is no destination. The destination is now, now, now,’ ” recalls Eliza. “'The journey is the destination. We’re not trying to get somewhere.’”

Kate Winslet, a different type of aristocrat with her movie career, cheerfully borne bodily imperfections and salty vocab, should be quite a catch. Her two previous husbands clearly thought so, although the complications of marriage have a way of catching her by surprise.

First came little-known London producer Jim Threapleton, whom she met on the set of a film called Hideous Kinky and married in 1998. In early 2001, Kate was on the cover of Glamour magazine, telling the readers why: “My husband is one in a million.” Unfortunately, by the time the edition hit the streets, Mr Threapleton, with whom she has a daughter, Mia, now 12, had been dumped.

'Movie 43' Trailer: Gerard Butler and a Plethora of Stars Get Raunchy (ADULT ONLY PLEASE!!!) 9:02 AM PDT 10/3/2012 by Jordan Zakarin (THR)


The omnibus sketchy comedy flick features Hollywood's A-List doing things that probably won't help any Oscar chances. It's a long tradition: dramatic movie stars heading to play against type on television. Jon Hamm does it frequently, including on 30 Rock; Kate Winslet and many others did it for Ricky Gervais' show Extras; and there have been 38 years worth of unexpected hosts of Saturday Night Live.

Hollywood, however, has never seen ego subversion on the scale promised by Movie 43.


Offensive language -  naked women - politically incorrect behavior - where did this movie come from? I never heard of it before.  Just plain wrong!  Can't wait.
