Louisville has a starring role in Gill Holland’s indie tennis movie
Posted by Stef in Film News & Reviews | No Comments
The tennis pro plunked down on a folding chair in the shade beside the Jewish Community Center’s tennis courts. He looked sweaty and exhausted from a morning in the hot sun.
He also looked familiar. That’s because the rugged-looking guy in tennis whites was Josh Hopkins, from “Cougar Town,” “The Perfect Storm” and dozens of other television shows and movies.
There were also lots of people rushing around with walkie-talkies, and many more lights and scrims than usual out on the tennis courts. It was day three of filming on an independent movie called “Tan Lines,” a comedy written by Louisville author (and tennis instructor) James Markert.
What had brought Hopkins to a film shot at the Louisville JCC?

It Was A War For Cast & Crew: 16 Things You Need To Know About Terrence Malick’s ‘The Thin Red Line’
Posted by Stef in Film News & Reviews | No Comments
In late ‘98/early ‘99, on the eve of the release of “The Thin Red Line”, two major events were concurrently taking place, each threatening to consume one another but both feeding the anticipation around them (the film was given a limited release in December, followed by wide release in January). One was “The Thin Red Line” itself—Terrence Malick’s first new film in 20 years, an approximately $52 million dollar war film backed by Fox 2000 (a shingle housed under 20th Century Fox)—and the other the hallowed return of Malick the director, believed to be lost in the wilderness, driving cabs in Paris, selling T-shirts on Les Champs-Élysées or whatever fictional rumor pleases you most.
Both were massive events in cinema; a sanctified resurrection of sorts met with feverish anticipation that drew in cinephiles and tourist pop-culture pundits who just had to weigh in. Adding appropriate noise to the latter point was a massive cinematic homecoming of sorts. 1999 would not only mark the return of Terry Malick, it would also mark the anticipated return of Stanley Kubrick (“Eyes Wide Shut”) and George Lucas (“The Phantom Menace”) to the world of filmmaking. Complicating things for Malick and, or maybe just the marketing team at Fox, was Steven Spielberg, who five months earlier would steal his thunder and release his more conventional WWII film, “Saving Private Ryan,” filled with moments of heartswelling American pride, heroism, patriotism and self-sacrifice. Malick’s take on the nature of war couldn’t be more polar opposite and abstract.

indieWIRE’s “Bigger” Project of the Day: The Louisville-Set Tennis Comedy “Tan Lines”
Posted by Stef in Film News & Reviews | No Comments
Sports movies are usually a struggle to bring to the screen. And an independent one, even more so.
“Tan Lines,” an independent production, concerns Owen “Game Set” Match, a cocky top tennis pro who gets fired by a prestigious sports club only to find himself trying to piece back his career at the Derby City Rec Center club. Producer Gill Holland described it as a cross between “Caddyshack” and “Tin Cup,” but with tennis subbing for golf.
“I’ve been telling other producers that this is the hardest shoot I’ve ever been on,” said Holland over the phone from the Louisville, Kentucky where the film is days away from wrapping principal photography. “For example, we had 125 extras on set for 12 hours the other day and the weather spiked to 97 degrees. We had a medic. One person got sick.”
Despite the production spending two long weeks shooting on a sweltering tennis court, Holland said the shoot’s been going great so far.

‘Lifted’ Premiere and Concert Benefit Lakeland Boy’s Anti-Bullying Cause
Posted by Stef in Film News & Reviews, Jaylen's Challenge | 1 Comment
Movie premieres are customary in Los Angeles and New York.
Not in Lakeland.
But then not all films feature an actor whose Best Friend Forever is an exuberant Lakeland fourth-grader named Jaylen Arnold.
“Lifted,” an independent movie with a plot line that involves childhood bullying, will have a special screening Saturday night at the Polk Theatre, complete with a red carpet entrance by cast members. One of those actors is Dash Mihok, best known for his roles in “Romeo + Juliet” and “The Thin Red Line.”
Mihok, like Jaylen, has Tourette syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes involuntary and repetitive movements or speech or both.
In 2009, Mihok learned about Jaylen’s Challenge, an anti-bullying campaign created by Jaylen and his family and promoted on his website, www.jaylenschallenge.org. Mihok traveled to Lakeland to meet Jaylen a few months later, and the two quickly formed a close bond.

Berlin Fest Adds ‘Even the Rain,’ ‘The Mortician’ to Panorama Sidebar
Posted by Stef in Film News & Reviews | No Comments
The Berlin Film Festival’s Panorama sidebar has added some buzz-worthy titles to its 2011 line-up, including Spain’s Oscar hopeful Even The Rain, which stars Gael Garcia Bernal as a director trying to tell the real story of Christopher Columbus’ arrival in America and Life in a Day, the experimental documentary from The Last King of Scotland helmer Kevin Macdonald which provides a digital, global snapshot of the world on July 24, 2010.
Other Panorama entries include the world premiere of 3D urban noir tale The Mortician from British director Gareth Maxwell Roberts, which stars Method Man, Edward Furlong and Dash Mihok.
Japanese director Iwai Shunji arrives in Berlin with Vampire, his twisted take on the Twilight genre starring Kevin Zegers, Rachael Leigh Cook and Keisha Castle-Hughes while Amador from Spanish director Fernando Leon De Aranoa takes an intimate look at illegal immigration in South America. Here, a drama from documentary filmmaker Braden King starring Ben Foster also secured a slot in Panorama’s main program.
Three new Indian films made the cut: Vishal Bhardwaj’s 7 Sins Forgiven, the debut Asshole from Kaushik Mukherjee and the documentary The Bengali Detective from British director Philip Cox.
The full Panorama line-up will be confirmed shortly.
