King Schultz (il premio Oscar® Christoph Waltz), il cacciatore di taglie di origine tedesca. Schultz è sulle tracce dei fratelli Brittle, noti assassini, e solo l’aiuto di Django lo porterà a riscuotere la taglia che pende sulle loro teste. Il poco ortodosso Schultz assolda Django con la promessa di donargli la libertà una volta catturati i Brittle – vivi o morti. Il successo dell’operazione induce Schultz a liberare Django, i due uomini scelgano di non separarsi, anzi Schultz sceglie di partire alla ricerca dei criminali più ricercati del Sud con Django al suo fianco. Affinando le vitali abilità di cacciatore, Django resta concentrato su un solo obiettivo: trovare e salvare Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), la moglie che aveva perso tempo prima, a causa della sua vendita come schiava.

  • Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue Formatted
    Gus Van Sant Regis Dialogue with Scott Macaulay, 2003 Scott Macaulay: We're here at the Walker Art Center for Regis dialogue with American filmmaker Gus Van Sant. He'll be discussing the unique artistic vision that runs through his entire body of work. Gus was first recognized for a trilogy of films that dealt with street hustlers, Mala Noche, Drugstore Cowboy, My Own Private Idaho. He then went on to experiment with forum and a number of other films including To Die For, Psycho and even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Gus is perhaps best known for his films, Goodwill Hunting and Finding Forrester, but all of his work including his latest film, Gerry, has his own unique touch. We'll be discussing Gus' films today during this Regis dialogue. I'm Scott Macaulay, producer and editor of Filmmaker Magazine. I'll be your guide through Gus' work today in this Regis dialogue. Thanks. Gus Van Sant: Thank you. Scott Macaulay: It's a real pleasure to be here with Gus Van Sant on this retrospective ... Which is called on the road again. I guess there are a lot of different illusions in that title, a lot of very obvious ones because a lot of Gus' movies deal with travel and change and people going different places, both locations within America but also in their lives. But another interesting implication of the title is that this retrospective is occurring on the eve of the release here and also nationwide of Gerry, which is really one of Gus' best and most moving films but it's also yet sort of another new direction for Gus as a filmmaker.

  • Oscar Host Ellen Degeneres Is Ready to Dance Cuaron's Oscar Nod
    lifestyle SUNDAY, MARCH 2, 2014 Pharrell, U2, Idina Menzel rock Oscar rehearsals aving the nation’s No 1 song does not exempt an artist from Oscar rehearsals. Pharrell Williams ran through his Hcatchy hit “Happy” more than half a dozen times Friday in preparation for the Oscar telecast. He even shared the spotlight with a spate of stars: Jamie Foxx, Brad Pitt and Kate Hudson showed up to rehearse while he was on stage. All I care about is the fun,” Williams said to Hudson, who boogied in the audience as he practiced his dance-heavy number. A choir of high-school students and 20 professional dancers accompany his colorful performance. Also rehearsing Friday: Broadway star Idina Menzel, who’s set to sing “Let It Go” from animated film nominee “Frozen”; U2, which is nominated for its song from the Mandela movie, “Ordinary Love”; and rocker Karen O, who is nominated for “The Moon Song” from best-picture nominee “Her.” Menzel was awed by the technology that allowed the Oscar orchestra, playing off- site at the Capitol Records building, to coordinate with her live at the Dolby Theatre. “Hi, Bill, can you hear me?” she said into the microphone at conductor William Ross, whom she could see on a monitor from inside the theater. “I’m trying to get that telepathic vibe with you because I’m alone up here and this is my first time (on the Oscars). “You look very handsome,” she added. Karen O, front woman of the rock band Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, took notes from director Spike Jonze as she practiced her performance, “The Moon Song” from his best-picture nominee, “Her.” “Spike just asked me to hold the mic a little bit lower, so I need a little more level,” she told a sound engineer.

Washington, D.C. 20530 Re: Producers Guild of America Business Review Letter Request To the Assistant Attorney General: We are writing on behalf of our client, the Producers Guild of America, to request a business review letter with respect to the proposed use of the "p.g.a" certification mark owned by the Producers Guild of America ("PGA"). The "p.g.a" certification mark has been approved for registration by the United States Patent and Trademark Office subject only to proof of use in commerce. (A true and correct copy of the USPTO Web site records reflecting the status and ownership of the "p.g.a" certification mark is annexed as Exhibit A.) Because so many persons now receive producer credits for so many reasons, even cinephiles often find it impossible to determine which person(s) performed the functions of a producer with respect to a given motion picture. The use of the PGA's certification mark would make the persons who truly performed a producer's duties with respect to a given movie easily identifiable. Financiers, actors, lawyers, and others have long demanded a "producer" credit in exchange for their help making motion pictures, both in the United States and abroad.
