The Reader, Icarus and The Spirit - Behind the Scenes #22

Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:04:09 PDT

Hey MovieSetters! We have a new episode of Behind the Scenes ready for you! This week we talk about Kate Winslet's Oscar winning performance in the movie The Reader, followed by a look at the new Dolph Lundgren movie Icarus and Frank Miller's The Spirit.
.

First off we check out The Reader. The movie opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg (Ralph Fiennes) becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna (Kate Winslet), a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life – this time as a defendant in the courtroom.

Next we want to talk about Icarus. MovieSet has had exclusive access to the set and actors and we will be putting tons of exclusive Icarus and Dolph Lundgren content over the next few weeks! Don't forget to check out the sitelet. The movie is about a Swedish, i mean Russian spy, named Icarus. Here's a synopsis.
There were those who called him Icarus. Everyone else knew him as a divorced father working for an investment company. But they didn’t know his other side—his dark side. Because Icarus (Dolph Lundgren) was at his best when he was killing people. For years, he’d worked as a sleeper agent in America—but when the Soviet Empire collapsed, he found himself in a foreign country with no one to trust. Determined to break from his dark past, he started over with a new identity. But you can only escape your past for so long.

Adapted from the legendary comic strip, THE SPIRIT is a classic action-adventure-romance told by genre-twister FRANK MILLER (creator of 300 and SIN CITY). It is the story of a former rookie cop who returns mysteriously from the dead as the Spirit (Gabriel Macht) to fight crime from the shadows of Central City. His arch-enemy, the OCTOPUS (Samuel L. Jackson) has a different mission: he’s going to wipe out Spirit's beloved city as he pursues his own version of immortality.

We take a look at the new Adam Sandler movie "Bedtime Stories", followed by a look at "The Tale of Despereaux" and "Hannah Montana: The Movie"
Enjoy!

First off we take a closer look at "Bedtime Stories", inculding an interview with Adam Sandler. Skeeter's(Adam Sandler) sister Wendy (Courtney Cox) has to leave town for a job interview and asks him to alternate looking after her two children Patrick (Jonathan Morgan Heit) and Bobbi (Laura Ann Kesling) with Wendy's responsible-minded colleague Jill (Keri Russell). He doesn't get along with either Jill or the children, but his easy-goingness loosens them all up and once he starts telling his bedtime stories, the children grow fond of him and begin to bring in their ideas about how the stories should go. When the stories turn out to become true in real life, Skeeter tries to manoeuver the stories into a direction which will make his dream come true, too.

Next lets check up on "The Tale of Despereaux" along with an interview with Mathew Broderick. Tiny and graced with oversized ears, Despereaux was born too big for his little world. Refusing to live his life cowering, he befriends a Princess named Pea and learns to read (rather than eat) books -- reveling in stories of knights, dragons and fair maidens. Banished from Mouseworld for being more man than mouse, Despereaux is rescued by another outcast, Roscuro, who also wants to hear the tales. But when the Princess dismisses Roscuro's friendship, he becomes the ultimate rat and plots revenge with fellow outsider Mig. After Pea is kidnapped, Despereaux discovers he is the only one who can rescue her...and that even the tiniest mouse can find the courage of a knight in shining armor.

Finally we check out Miley Cyrus in her new movie, "Hannah Montana: The Movie". Not much else really needs to be said. Hannah goes to farm, Hannah meets cowboy, cowboy likes Miley, Miley is Hannah, cowboy doesnt know, cowboy finds out, Miley dates cowboy, movie ends.... or (As Hannah Montana's popularity begins to take over her life, Miley Stewart, on the urging from her father takes a trip to her hometown of Crowley Corners, Tennessee to get some perspective on what matters in life the most.)
