This reboot of the 1981 movie of the same name (starring Brooke Shields) was also based on the same book by Scott Spencer that the first film was based on. The movie tells the story of Jade (Gabriella Wilde), a sheltered and well-off girl, and David (Alex Pettyfer), a charismatic and less well-off boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart. To bring her vision for Endless Love from script to screen, director Shana Feste assembled a behind-the-scenes team led by cinematographer Andrew Dunn, production designer Clay Griffith and … Continue reading →

“Tracking Shot” is a monthly featurette here on Ioncinema.com that looks at a dozen or so projects that are moments away from lensing and with September being a major production month for the fall, most projects listed here are thinking of film festival submissions between Cannes and fall fests for 2014. Here are some productions worth signaling out.

On the American indie front we’ve got the latest from Alex Ross Perry (helmer behind 2011′s The Color Wheel) and who we might catch at Tiff as he recently dabbled as an actor and writer for Raya Martin & Mark Peranson’s La última película. His NYC set drama Listen Up Philip focus on titular character played by Jason Schwartzman and those affected by his poor decisions — in particular his successful art-photographer girlfriend Ashley (Elisabeth Moss). Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench) will be taking his 2012 Black List script,...

Remember those rumors from a few months back about Cameron Crowe directing an adaptation of Benjamin Mee's memoir We Bought a Zoo ? It's looking more and more likely that the buzz was true.

Crowe, the Oscar-winning writer of Almost Famous, hasn't directed film since Elizabethtown way back in 2005 -- and while it hasn't officially been announced that he's helming this one, the guys over at ComingSoon.net have unearthed some interesting details that seem to indicate Crowe will be sitting in the director's chair once filming begins.

The first piece of evidence was yesterday's announcement that the film will open on December 23rd, 2011. This doesn't necessarily mean Crowe would be directing, but setting a release date for the project would seem to indicate that someone has been or is close to being hired for the job. Christmas is where movies with high expectations open and seems a perfect slot...

A couple months ago, there were rumors that director Cameron Crowe (Almost Famous, Jerry Maguire) was interested in directing an adaptation of Benjamin Mee's bestselling memoir We Bought a Zoo. ComingSoon has noticed that some of Crowe's regular crew (for instance, production designer Clay Griffith) have recently been hired for the production, which 20th Century Fox has now set a release for on December 23th 2011. This pretty much confirms that the project is Crowe's next. Previously: Almost Famous is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Cameron Crowe used to be one of my favorite writer/directors. It is not that the filmmaker had a huge fall from grace -- I actually liked Elizabethtown more than most, despite Orlando Bloom's best efforts. It's that the filmmkaer is starting to become a distant memory. Aside 2005's Elizabethtown, which many would like to forget, and the filmmaker's few...
