  • 826Michigan to Host Adva...Ew
    APRIL 19, 2012 - 5:24PM 826michigan to host advance screening of 'The Five­Year Engagement' and Q&A with crew BY MATT EASTON Last year it seemed everyone (of legal age) had a bar tale revolving around their beer-fueled interactions with the actor most likely to be found on a college campus drinking casually: Jason Segel. Why “most likely?” Because, in the majority of his films Segel plays the sort of guy you’d expect to find enjoying himself in a bar, bringing a sort of life to the occasion but never shoving himself into the center of attention. These are just assumptions based off his roles, but upon hearing the stories told about Segel in those weeks he was in Ann Arbor, his personality doesn’t appear to stray far from the characters he plays. Relaxed, dude-like and fun-loving; he seems like someone worth hanging outwith. Of course, as much as we might like to believe Segel came up to Michigan for some quality time with a bunch of students, the truth is he came to film scenes for his latest film, “The Five-Year Engagement.” The movie tells of the trials faced by a couple’s five-year engagement, one of which is Emily Blunt’s character receiving a position at the University of Michigan, forcing a long-distance move. Written by Segel and Nicholas Stoller (“The Muppets”), “The Five-Year Engagement” is one of the select few films that have chosen their setting to be Ann Arbor (alongside “Answer This!” and perhaps less obviously, “Jumper”).

Russell initially rose to fame in 2003 for his work as a presenter on MTV and on Big Brother spin-off, Big Brother’s Big Mouth. Since then he has become one of the most recognisable and best-loved comedy performers in the world, with a series of sold-out tours, bestselling DVDs and a number of major film roles to his name. His first nationwide stand-up tour, 2006’s Shame, was a huge success, eventually being filmed at London’s iconic Shepherd’s Bush Empire and released as a bestselling DVD, entitled Russell Brand: Live. He followed that tour with 2007’s Only Joking (released on DVD as Doin’ Life) and in 2009 embarked on his debut series of US dates with Scandalous. His most recent stand-up show, 2013’s critically–acclaimed Messiah Complex, was also a major hit and again a bestselling DVD.

  • The Five-Year Engagement
    Review: The Five-Year Engagement BY JAY STONE, POSTMEDIA NEWS APRIL 27, 2012 The boy-man tries to come of age. Jason Segel plays a lost soul opposite Emily Blunt in The Five-Year Engagement. Photograph by: Handout, Handout A charming, off-kilter romantic comedy with Jason Segel as a chef who gives up his job for his fiancee (Emily Blunt). His resulting half-understood resentment almost sinks their relationship. This is a scattered, original film, in which the genre's typical boy-man is trying to come of age. Starring: Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Chris Pratt Rating: Four stars out of five Jason Segel has carved out a unique place in the gallery of boy-men -- the childish dolts who fear women and worship them, and also fear and worship things that explode -- who populate the modern romantic comedy. Segel's characters are foolish, but they're also good-natured and sweet. So, in the new film, The Five-Year Engagement, when his lost soul complains, "I'm just not the man I want to be right now," it's a poignant cry from the heart. It's also meant to be funny, although The Five-Year Engagement has a bit of trouble separating the lost soul from the doofus. It's directed by Nicholas Stoller -- who shepherded Segel through the similarly forlorn, but funnier, Forgetting Sarah Marshall -- with a confounding array of shifting tones, dead-end narratives and eccentric asides, which ends up being part of the movie's charm. We know where it's going from the start (heck, we know from the title), but its improbable twists provide much of the delight.

  • Screenwriting, Description and the ‛Lens-Based' Tradition Adam Ganz
    1 ‘To make you see’: Screenwriting, description and the ‛lens-based’ tradition Adam Ganz, Royal Holloway University of London Abstract In this article I look at the descriptive writing in the screenplay, and link this to a tradition of ‘lens-based writing’, the precise visual description of phenomena observed through a lens for an audience unable to see what was described, which can be traced from the writing of Galileo and van Leeuwenhoek, through scientific and travel writing, to early fiction (with particular emphasis on Robinson Crusoe). I identify the most significant features of lens-based writing – the use of simple language and the separation of observation and deduction to communicate what has been seen through a simultaneous act of looking and framing, and show the similarities between this and screenwriting practice. I also make some observations about what this model can offer screenwriting research. Keywords lens-based writing observation screenplay description prosthetics telescope lens 2 optics My task […] is, by the power of the written word, to make you hear, to make you feel – it is, above all, to make you see. (Conrad 1897: xiv) What is the relationship between looking through a lens and writing? What can this kind of writing tell us about writing for the screen? In this article I want to consider screenwriting as an attempt to reproduce a very specific kind of prosthetic visual perception, and look at how screenwriting may be differently understood by thinking of it as a lens-based-practice. I re-evaluate the impact of the lens and the need to record what was seen with it on the practice of descriptive writing with examples from Galileo’s observations of the moon in 1610 to Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle in 1845 and speculate on this lens-based writing as one of the forces creating the modern novel.1 What distinguishes the screenplay from other forms of dramatic writing is that it is always intended for a mediated form.
