Tanto tempo fa, quando ancora non esistevano gli schermi giganteschi, i prati finti e le ragazze pon pon, né compensi vertiginosi e sponsor miliardari, il football era giocato solo per passione. E i suoi giocatori erano rozzi e ignoranti, volgari e duri di cuore. Siamo negli anni ’20. Dodge Connolly (GEORGE CLOONEY) è un esuberante campione di football, uno sport nascente che attrae pochi tifosi, rissosi e ubriaconi, che non concepiscono di dover pagare una fortuna per assistere a una partita. Il football è ancora un gioco senza regole, che spesso finisce a cazzotti. Tuttavia il capitano Connolly è determinato ad educare la sua squadra e di riuscire a riempire gli stadi. Quando i giocatori perdono il loro sponsor e l’intera lega è sull’orlo del collasso, Dodge convince l’agente CC Frazier (JONATHAN PRYCE, Pirati dei Caraibi, I fratelli Grimm e l’incantevole strega) a reclutare nella sua squadra un po’ scalcagnata, Carter “The Bullet” Rutherford (JOHN KRASINSKI, The Office, License to Wed per la TV), un astro nascente del football. Dodge spera che la presenza di Carter, possa aiutare questo sport ancora bistrattato ad ottenere la giusta attenzione da parte degli americani. Carter è oltretutto un eroe di guerra: si racconta infatti che sia riuscito (con un colpo da maestro) a costringere alcuni soldati tedeschi alla resa, durante il primo conflitto mondiale; come se non bastasse, è un bellissimo ragazzo ed è velocissimo sul campo da football. Un atleta troppo perfetto per essere vero, e Lexie Littleton (Zellweger), un’energica giornalista sportiva, intende smascheralo. Lexie nutre infatti dei sospetti rispetto alla storia della guerra di Carter. Ma proprio mentre indaga sul suo passato, sia il novellino Carter che il veterano Dodge, si innamorano di lei e iniziano a contendersi le sue attenzioni. Dodge si ritrova quindi alle prese con due problemi: da un lato deve riuscire a trasformare i suoi ragazzi in giocatori professionisti, dall’altro desidera conquistare la donna dei suoi sogni. Nello scoprire che l’amore e il football hanno regole di gioco piuttosto simili, Dodge ha in serbo una manovra del tutto ‘particolare’ proprio per l’attesissima finale… IN AMORE NIENTE REGOLE presenta George Clooney nel doppio ruolo di attore e regista del film, la cui sceneggiatura è firmata dagli esordienti DUNCAN BRANTLEY & RICK REILLY. Il film è prodotto da GRANT HESLOV (Good Night and Good Luck, Prima ti sposo, poi ti rovino), e da CASEY SILVER (Squadra 49, Hidalgo). Si unisce al regista sul campo da football, una troupe composta da veterani del cinema, fra cui il direttore della fotografia NEWTON THOMAS SIGEL (Confessioni di una mente pericolosa, Superman Returns, X2), il montatore premio Oscar® STEPHEN MIRRIONE (Traffic; Babel; Good Night and Good Luck.), lo scenografo JIM BISSELL (Confessioni di una mente pericolosa; Good Night and Good Luck.) e la costumista LOUISE FROGLEY (Traffic; Ocean’s Thirteen; Good Night and Good Luck.). La musica del film è opera del leggendario compositore premio Oscar® RANDY NEWMAN (Cars, Mi presenti i tuoi, Toy Story). I produttori esecutivi di Leatherheads sono BARBARA A. HALL (Good Night and Good Luck), JEFFREY SILVER (Breach – L’infiltrato), BOBBY NEWMYER (Breach – L’infiltrato) e SYDNEY POLLACK (Michael Clayton). Universal Pictures International Italy In Amore Niente Regole – Note di Produzione 4 LA PRODUZIONE Il via libera al film Alla fine degli anni ’80, il reporter di Sports Illustrated Duncan Brantley stava svolgendo ricerche sulle origini del football americano professionale, quando ha avuto l’idea di Leatherheads (IN AMORE NIENTE REGOLE). In quegli anni, il giornalista indagava sulla storia della star del football John McNally, che aveva ingegnosamente usato lo pseudonimo di “Johnny Blood” per poter giocare per i Duluth Eskimos nella nascente Lega Nazionale del Football, senza dover rinunciare alle partite con la squadra del suo college. Indagando nel background di McNally e degli altri giocatori dell’epoca, Brantley ha colto la variopinta qualità dei personaggi che popolavano lo sport di quegli anni, restando affascinato dalle bizzarrie del loro gioco. Dopo aver scritto e riscritto il copione per anni, il giornalista ha chiesto al collega Rick Reilly di unirsi al suo progetto, certo che il suo proverbiale umorismo avrebbe arricchito il copione. I due giornalisti si sono quindi cimentati come scrittori. “Per anni avevamo raccontato le prodezze del football dei college su Sports Illustrated, ed eravamo affascinati dalla storia di Johnny Blood”, racconta Brantley. “Blood era un uomo estremo, che amava l’alcol e le motociclette”. “La squadra quell’anno fu impegnata in 31 partite, 29 delle quali in trasferta”, continua Reilly. “Il proprietario era così avaro che costringeva i giocatori a farsi la doccia indossando le proprie divise, che quindi venivano appese dai finestrini del treno ad asciugare”. I due scrittori raccontano con stupore che le squadre giocavano quattro o cinque partite a settimana, e che addirittura, a volte, scendevano dal treno quando vedevano un gruppo di 10-20 giocatori con cui poter giocare per soldi. Convinti della forza della loro storia e dei loro personaggi, Brantley e Reilly non si sono mai scoraggiati, e hanno continuato a scrivere insieme, nonostante vivessero lontano l’uno dell’altro, Brantley a New York e Reilly in Colorado. “All’inizio”, ricorda Brantley, “ci siamo chiusi in una stanza per circa una settimana e abbiamo buttato giù il progetto. Quindi ci siamo divisi le scene che più ci piacevano e le abbiamo scritte. Rick correggeva la mia parte e io la sua”. “I nostri personaggi erano molto sfaccettati, come ad esempio Red Grange ed Ernie Nevers”, aggiunge Reilly. “Inoltre ci affascinava proprio quel periodo di storia sportiva. Negli anni ’20 il football dei college andava per la maggiore, infatti gli stadi radunavano centinaia di migliaia di tifosi. Tuttavia nessuno si occupava del football professionale, che era considerato un gioco pericoloso, non adatto ai ‘gentiluomini’. Infatti nessuno ne ha parlato fino al 1925, perciò abbiamo pensato che sarebbe stato interessante raccontare queste vicende inedite in un film”. All’inizio degli anni ’90, Reilly e Brantley hanno portato il copione al filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, che a sua volta l’ha presentato al produttore Casey Silver, allora presidente di produzione della Universal Pictures. “Conosco e stimo Steven da tempo”, spiega Silver. “Avevo già lavorato con lui e questo copione mi piaceva, soprattutto perché è una commedia romantica, ambientata in un periodo che non era ancora mai stato veramente esplorato a Hollywood”. Universal Pictures International Italy In Amore Niente Regole – Note di Produzione 5 Nel frattempo Soderbergh dirigeva Out of Sight, interpretato da George Clooney e Jennifer Lopez, mentre Silver aveva lasciato la Universal per dedicarsi alla produzione indipendente, portando con sé questo progetto. “Ci sono stati diversi tentativi per portarlo a termine e subito dopo Out of Sight siamo riusciti a realizzarlo”, racconta Silver. “Steven ha mostrato il copione a Clooney e George ha reagito positivamente”. Clooney ha condiviso l’entusiasmo di Brantley e di Reilly “nel trasformare una star del football universitario in un vero professionista”. Nonostante apprezzasse la storia concepita dai due giornalisti-scrittori, Clooney— da tempo appassionato alle commedie degli anni ’30 e ’40 di registi del calibro di George Cukor e Lewis Milestone — ha voluto rendere IN AMORE NIENTE REGOLE (Leatherheads) sullo stile di una commedia alla “Howard Hawks”. Tuttavia il film avrebbe dovuto aspettare ancora, poiché il regista/attore/produttore era impegnato in una serie di progetti a lungo termine. Nell’estate del 2006 Clooney ha nuovamente rivolto la sua attenzione a IN AMORE NIENTE REGOLE e alla storia della star del football Dodge Connolly. Nel frattempo Soderbergh si era ritirato dal progetto, e Clooney ha pensato di farlo produrre dalla sua società, la Smokehouse Productions. Spiega il regista: “Un anno dopo Good Night, and Good Luck. e Syriana, ho iniziato a rileggere una vecchia versione di IN AMORE NIENTE REGOLE”. Clooney ha analizzato alcune commedie che ama quali Philadelphia Story, Front Page (Prima pagina) e Slap Shot (Colpo secco), perché, dichiara, “Avevamo bisogno di una struttura tipica di

Harvey* This Article focuses on the oft-neglected intersection of racially skewed outcomes and anti-competitive markets. Through historical, contextual, and empirical analysis, the Article describes the state of Hollywood motion-picture distributionfrom its anti- competitive beginnings through the industry's role in creating an anti-competitive, racially divided market at the end of the last century. The Article's evidence suggests that race-based inefficiencies have plagued the film distribution process and such inefficiencies might likely be caused by the anti-competitive structure of the market itself, and not merely by overt or intentional racial-discrimination.After explaining why traditional anti-discrimination laws are ineffective remedies for such inefficiencies, the Article asks whether antitrust remedies and market mechanisms mght provide more robust solutions.

  • Steven Soderbergh ( Is
    MARCH 1, 2016 | 09:43AM PT BUCHAN/VARIETY/REX/SHUTTERSTOCK Steven Soderbergh (http://variety.com/t/steven-soderbergh/) is reuniting with his “Out of Sight” screenwriter Scott Frank (http://variety.com/t/scott-frank/) for a Netflix (http://variety.com/t/netflix/) limited series titled “Godless (http://variety.com/t/godless/),” Variety has confirmed. The streaming series marks another project in the television landscape for Soderbergh, who’s currently behind “The Girlfriend Experience” at Starz, “The Knick” at Cinemax, “Red Oaks” at Amazon and HBO’s upcoming, highly-secretive interactive “Mosaic.” Soderbergh will serve as an exec producer on “Godless,” while Frank will pen, direct and exec produce the project along with Casey Silver. Netflix has not provided many details on the limited, hourlong series, which is described as a Western set in the 1880s. “Godless” will film in Santa Fe, N.M. “Out of Sight” starred George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. Since that 1998 film, Frank has gone on to write screenplays for “Minority Report,” “Marley & Me” and “The Wolverine,” among other movies, while Soderbergh directed “Magic Mike,” the “Ocean’s Eleven” franchise and “Traffic,” among others. “Godless” is one of the first limited series to come to Netflix’s booming slate, following the announcement of the “Gilmore Girls” revival, which will be made up of four 90-minute installments. As for Soderbergh’s upcoming projects, the streaming series joins the slew of TV shows he’s working on, following his declaration that he’d be leaving film. (The last movie he worked on was “Magic Mike XXL.”) However, Variety recently reported that he’s ending his retirement (http://variety.com/2016/film/news/steven-soderbergh- channing-tatum-heist-retirement-1201695944/) in that medium with a Channing Tatum movie.
