"I suddenly realized I'd pretty much died in everything that I'd done for the past five years," says Keira Knightley of why she decided to take on the uplifting musical drama Begin Again in a new clip. "And I thought I'd really like to do something where I either don't have to go through some emotional turmoil or die. I found this incredibly hopeful."
It feels like it's been an eternity since Terry Gilliam started working on his latest sci-fi venture, philosophical mind-bender The Zero Theorem, so it would be understandable if you, like me, actually forgot that it was still heading to U.S. theaters at some point. This year (though we still don't know exactly when), the film will finally arrive on the big screen, courtesy of Well Go Entertainment and Amplify, and we'll find out whether it's been worth the wait.
Last month, we brought you news that Drive and Only God Forgives auteur Nicolas Winding Refn was in talks with Sony to direct their haunted house flick The Bringing.

By all accounts, season 2 of Netflix's hit prison dramedy Orange is the New Black was a major success for the streaming giant. Since its June 6th premiere, critics have been raving about it, audiences have been talking about it, and everyone is keen to find out just what showrunner Jenji Kohan has in mind for the already-ordered 13-episode third season. Now, we've learned that Oscar winner Mary Steenburgen (Melvin and Howard, Back to the Future Part III) is closing a deal to appear on the show.
This summer's Dawn of the Planet of the Apes looks pretty fantastic. As directed by Let Me In helmer Matt Reeves, it picks up the story of super-intelligent simian Caesar (played through motion-capture once again by the brilliant Andy Serkis) ten years after the end of Rise, when a devastating virus was unleashed on the human race. When Dawn opens, the apes have control, and Caesar rules over all of them. His new dominion is threatened, however, by a group of human survivors led by the mysterious Dreyfus (Gary Oldman), who wants to wipe all of the apes out.
With such feel-good dramas as Say Anything..., Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Elizabethtown and We Bought A Zoo on his resume, Cameron Crowe has carved out a pretty well-defined niche for himself in cinema. Now, however, it appears that the director, whose still-untitled romantic comedy with Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper is slated for release this December, is about to make the leap to the small screen. We're hearing that Crowe is collaborating with premium cable network Showtime to develop a series called Roadies.
