[CACO/CAMPOS]

Linda com certeza a Kate é, porque não segue de o padrão beleza rígido de Hollywood com ficar sempre magra e cara cheia de botox e o legal que ela representa a mulher natural e comum e sempre com um gordurinha, coisa rara mas sempre prazeroso de se ver.

 

Kate Winslet pode ser vista com o rosto envelhecido nas primeiras fotos dos bastidores do drama The Reader. A atriz rodou suas cenas na sexta-feira da semana passada, na Alemanha.

Minghella-Pollack film eyes Oscar run 

Weinsteins plan December release for 'Reader'

 

 

By VARIETY STAFF

 

The last film produced by the late Anthony Minghella and Sydney Pollack is looking for a December date. After a successful screening in New York of "The Reader' date='" the Weinstein Co. has decided to release the film for Oscar contention this year. The film stars Kate Winslet and Ralph Fiennes and was directed by Stephen Daldry.

Given the deaths earlier this year of Minghella and Pollack, there was speculation that the film might face a delay. Scott Rudin, the co-producer, already has two films coming out later this year -- "Revolutionary Road" and "Doubt."

However,

given the strong reaction to the test screening, the Weinstein Co. has

decided to go full throttle on securing a release date and mobilizing

the marketing materials.

Drama de época com Kate Winslet tem estréia anunciada - 29/09/2008 11:05

De olho na disputa pelo Oscar, a The Weinstein Co. decidiu apostar todas as suas fichas no drama de época The Reader, estrelado por Kate Winslet e Ralph Fiennes. O drama, tido como o principal investimento dos irmãos Weinstein para a temporada de premiações, chegará aos cinemas em 12 de dezembro deste ano nos Estados Unidos.

De acordo com o The Hollywood Reporter, fontes próximas ao filme declararam que foi difícil para o produtor Scott Rudin e Harvey Weinstein chegarem a um acordo quanto a data de lançamento, o que foi negado pela dupla.

Winslet também participa de Revolutionary Road, outra produção considerada forte candidata aos principais prêmios. O filme, dirigido pelo marido da atriz, Sam Mendes, pode impedir que ela participe da campanha de divulgação de The Reader.

seria melhor pro ano q vem, :/.

Produtor Scott Rudin não está mais envolvido no filme - 10/10/2008 13:33

Em mais um capítulo dos bastidores de The Reader,  o produtor Scott Rudin não está mais envolvido no drama de época, estrelado por Kate Winslet. E, ao que parece, ele também não será mais creditado na produção do filme, apesar de ainda não ter sido divulgada nenhuma nota oficial.

Essa notícia aparece depois de uma longa batalha entre Rudin e Harvey Weinstein, sócios na Weinstein Co., sobre a data de estréia da produção. Rudin queria um lançamento em 2009, e Weinstein para este ano (leia a nota do dia 29/09). Apesar da vitória do segundo, ambos declararam que haviam feito as pazes e Rudin assegurou que auxiliaria ainda mais o diretor Stephen Daldry, na finalização de The Reader, o que torna seu desligamento ainda mais surpreendente. 

Segundo o The Hollywood Reporter, uma porta-voz da Weinstein Co. confirmou que a pós-produção do filme está de acordo com o planejamento e a estréia continua em 2008. Nenhum dos envolvidos deu uma declaração sobre a saída de Rudin.

Kate Winslet e David Kross em novas imagens - 16/10/2008 16:54

Apesar de toda turbulência na pós-produção de The Reader, duas novas fotos foram divulgadas pelo site Rope of Silicon.

Em todas elas Kate Winslet está presente, e, em uma, David Kross também. Não há nenhuma imagem de Ralph Fiennes, até o momento.

 

 

E a Kate está chegando

[pantalaimon]

to mais ansioso por este aqui q por "road"!;D

[Bart Scary]

Sei lá viu. To ancioso pelos dois filmes !! Acho que nesse The Reader a Kate deve tá um escandalo de boa tbm.

 

Ótimas essas fotos. Só deixa agente com sensação de quero mais.

[pantalaimon]

Ótimas mesmo, a primeira então, ganha com a da banheira.

[MacGruber]

Gostei muito do trailer, parece que o Daldry acertou a mão de novo.

[pantalaimon]

É, espero que o intervalo entre os filmes dele diminua, foram 5 anos entre "As Horas" e este novo, não entendo esses diretores. O PTA prometeu não sumir, mas já sumiu, e a Coppola é outra, traumatizou depois de "Maria Antonieta", pena.

[MacGruber]

Esses gênios são assim mesmo...

[pantalaimon]

É né Bruno?Demora, mas também quando vêm, nossa, obra-prima. ;D

Se a gente for considerar questão tempo/qualidade de filme, o meu diretor favorito, Kubrick, realmente comprova a teoria. ;D

OSCAR 2009: The Reader é um forte concorrente
(27/11/2008 - 14h53)

Da Redação www.cineclick.com.br

 

Cena de The Reader

O site The Envelop afirma que o drama The Reader é um forte concorrente aos prêmios de Melhor Filme, Melhor Diretor, Melhor Atriz, Melhor Ator Coadjuvante e Melhor Roteiro no Oscar de 2009.

Kate Winslet (O Amor Não Tira Férias) poderá ser indicada ao Oscar de Melhor Atriz e Melhor Atriz Coadjuvante, já que poderá concorrer por The Reader e Apenas um Sonho, no qual contracena novamente com Leonardo DiCaprio (Rede de Mentiras).

Segundo a publicação, a Academia de Artes e Ciências Cinematográficas de Hollywood não permite que a mesma atriz seja indicada por dois filmes em uma mesma categoria. Levando isso em consideração, os jurados oficiais poderão encarar a personagem de Kate no drama como coadjuvante.

Na trama, dirigida por Stephen Daldry (As Horas), a atriz interpreta Hanna Schmitz, uma alemã que levava os judeus para as câmaras de gás nos campos de concentração. Ela é levada a julgamento e não se mostra arrependida de seus atos no passado.

Após a exibição do longa para jornalistas, Daldry explicou porque o drama não é ofensivo. Segundo ele, a personagem de Kate não se arrepende de seu passado, mas os espectadores poderão acreditar em seu arrependimento no futuro, especialmente quando ela faz algo que pode ser encarado como uma autopunição.

Este é o terceiro longa de Daldry e ele foi indicado ao Oscar de Melhor Diretor por seus dois outros filmes, As Horas (2002) e Billy Elliot (1999). Nicole Kidman (Austrália) venceu o Oscar de Melhor Atriz pelo drama inspirado na obra da escritora Virginia Woolf.

O roteirista David Hare poderá ser indicado ao Oscar de Melhor Roteiro Adaptado. Os atores Ralph Fiennes (A Duquesa) e David Kross (Krabat) poderão disputar uma indicação ao Oscar de Melhor Ator Coadjuvante.

Fiennes e Kross interpretam o mesmo personagem. No início do filme, Michael (Kross) é um adolescente que sofre de escarlatina e recebe ajuda de Hanna, uma mulher mais velha por quem se apaixona. Hanna some de sua vida e só reaparece alguns anos depois, quando o Michael adulto (Fiennes) participa de um julgamento de crimes nazistas.

The Reader estréia dia 9 de janeiro de 2009 nos Estados Unidos. Por enquanto, nenhum data de lançamento foi definida no Brasil.

Não duvido.

Kate Winslet: going for broke?

Posted by Guy Lodge · 4:01 pm · November 27th, 2008

I’m getting so many mixed messages about “The Reader,” I don’t know what to make of it anymore. Some concrete reviews would help, but the embargo is obviously still in place. I admit I’m unfamiliar with the intricacies of the business, but I’m not sure how beneficial it is to withhold word on a late arrival with see-sawing buzz. (I think Nat Rogers summed it up well by giving the film a citation for “Weirdest Foreplay of 2008.”)

As we know, Kris wasn’t entirely persuaded by the film, dropping it from a couple of key categories on his chart, and declaring Kate Winslet an “outside shot” for Best Supporting Actress. Winslet, of course, is the film’s most-discussed contender, with many anticipating dual nominations for her come January.

Tom O’Neil was hearing opposing voices yesterday, and now Dave Karger has weighed in. Humming quite a different tune from Kris, he calls the film “a definite top-10 Best Picture contender,” and Winslet’s performance “amazing.” (Can anyone remember the last time Karger really disliked a contender? I’m just asking.)

He does, however, smell blatant category fraud, an issue Kris didn’t really have a problem with. But with the Weinsteins dodging lead categories entirely — campaigning both Winslet and co-star Lena Olin for Best Supporting Actress, and both and David Kross and Ralph Fiennes for Best Supporting Actor — Karger smells a rat:

Now, other movies, like

Crash

and

Babel

, have tried this tactic before with some success. But those two were indisputably ensemble films, whereas

The Reader

, which spans five decades, clearly has two main characters: one shared by Kross and Fiennes and the other played entirely by Winslet. Obviously, the all-supporting decision is meant to keep Winslet from competing against herself (she’s up for Best Actress for

Revolutionary Road

), but now that I’ve seen in print, it does seem a little disingenuous.

If the Weinstein Co. had placed Kross in the Best Actor category (he has much more screen time than Fiennes), there would have been at least one official lead to speak of. Still, if the Academy follows the campaign directives, it’ll turn out to be a smart move, since Winslet’s amazing performance in

The Reader

should be a sure thing for a supporting nomination.

I’ve mentioned before how much I dislike category fraud, particularly for prominent stars like Winslet, largely because it often comes at the expense of gifted below-the-line players who could really use the recognition. (From my own perspective, I’d rather see a slot go to a breakthrough supporting performer like, say, Hiam Abbass in “The Visitor,” than to a perennial nominee like Winslet, fine actress that she is.)

The Academy often falls for the ploy when a film has two leads — thus gifting supporting nods to the likes of Ethan Hawke in “Training Day” or Cate Blanchett in “Notes on a Scandal.” This year, some think Universal foolish for campaigning Michael Sheen in lead for “Frost/Nixon” against the flashier turn of Frank Langella, but I commend them for their honesty. A lead is a lead, no matter who plays the role, or how.

However, the actors’ branch is also capable of readjusting categories to their liking. Keisha Castle-Hughes (”Whale Rider”) and the then-unknown Susan Sarandon (”Atlantic City”) are two examples of actors who were campaigned for supporting awards, but were ultimately nominated in lead, where they truthfully belonged. To do so for Winslet in “The Reader,” meanwhile, would force them to make yet another choice.

Not having seen “The Reader,” I can’t offer an opinion on whether the accusations of category fraud are justified or not. But given that Winslet already seems comfortably on course for a Best Actress nod in “Revolutionary Road,” I can’t help but wonder whether she really needs the double-dip.

More to the point, does she actually want the double-dip? Strategically, I’m not sure it would be to her advantage. Many think Winslet could actually win in lead for “Revolutionary Road” — could an extra nomination pull vital votes away? Of course, several actors have been nominated in two categories before and won one, but that often comes when one of the wins is a foregone conclusion. Al Pacino and Holly Hunter, for example, both scored long-anticipated lead-category wins in 1992 and 1993 respectively; their simultaneous supporting nods were just gravy.

However, things can go wrong when an actors is nominated for two performances that are potential winners. If neither one is a clear slam-dunk, support can be damagingly split between them, resulting in the double defeats endured by Sigourney Weaver in 1988 and Julianne Moore in 2002. If Winslet is to receive the Oscar this year that so many believe she is due, one of her two performances needs to emerge as the stronger contender, and soon.

Ironically, I think Winslet may be a far greater threat if she is only nominated once, thereby potentially drawing support from fans of both films. The body-of-work factor arguably played a role in past victories for actors like Michael Douglas, whose campaign for “Wall Street” was aided by his presence in Best Picture nominee “Fatal Attraction,” and Jim Broadbent, who surely benefited from being seen to such contrasting effect in “Iris” and “Moulin Rouge!” the same year.

It doesn’t always work — strong unnominated work in “The Others” wasn’t enough to push Nicole Kidman’s “Moulin Rouge!” campaign over the top in 2001. However, with neither of Winslet’s performances drawing unanimous “frontrunner” declarations, and strong potential opposition in both categories, I think concentrating her campaign may be her best bet.

‘Reader’ draws praise, but is it too remote for Oscar?

Posted by Guy Lodge · 12:30 pm · November 30th, 2008

After a couple of days in post-screening limbo, the reviews for “The Reader” are in, and while there’s much praise for the film, I suspect the response may not be quite what Harvey Weinstein was hoping for.

The general impression appears to be that it’s intelligent, well-crafted and delicately performed, but as Kris anticipated recently, there are concerns that it may prove too distant and cerebral for many audiences … including the Oscar voters. Jeff Wells is one prognosticator striking the film from his list of Best Picture ponies: “Sorry but that’s the verdict I’m hearing. Intelligent, well written, handsomely shot, doesn’t deliver emotionally.”

That “verdict” is echoed almost exactly in Variety’s coolly respectable review:

Stephen Daldry’s film is sensitively realized and dramatically absorbing, but comes across as an essentially cerebral experience without gut impact. Classy package will appeal to upscale specialized auds and the bookish set but pic will have trouble crossing over to the general public Stateside.

As for Kate Winslet, widely deemed the film’s brightest awards prospect, they are impressed by the performance, but find the character impenetrable:

A central problem with “The Reader” as a film is that one can never look inside the character of Hanna. Her life and behavior are invariably assessed from the outside — what she represents to Michael, the way the court and history take stock of her actions — but never by her … Winslet supplies a haunting shell to this internally decimated woman, one who can perhaps momentarily escape from her shame through sex but for whom there is no past she can possibly face and no future to anticipate.

Screen International, however, has fewer reservations, disagreeing with Variety on the audience accessibility issue, and declaring the film a clear-cut awards contender:

Although it struggles under the weight of its source novel’s multiple temporal shifts, “The Reader” is for the most part a superbly fluid, elegant film crafted with distinctly European sensibilities which suit the bitter story at its heart … It takes Daldry to another level as a filmmaker of great nuance, and should be a major draw for intelligent audiences everywhere … Although older awards voters will find the Holocaust-themed film an uncomfortable one to watch, it will inevitably be a leading contender in multiple categories and could finally deliver Winslet her Oscar.

Finally, The Hollywood Reporter continues the run of praise for the film, but wonders whether it has come along at the right time of year:

Certainly “The Reader,” for all its erotic scenes involving Kate Winslet, presents a difficult marketing challenge. The lively, nonlinear structure imposed by screenwriter David Hare and tight, focused direction from Stephen Daldry make this an engaging period drama. But German postwar guilt is not the most winning subject matter for the holiday season.

They also find themselves unable to empathise with Winslet’s character, but declare the actress (together with co-star David Kross) best in show:

To Winslet and Kross belong the gutsy, intense performances of the film. Lena Olin as a unyielding camp survivor and Bruno Ganz as a sagacious law professor put in memorable appearances. Fiennes is solid as the elder Berg, but by this stage of life the “oldness” Hanna once exhibited has caught up with him too, making his a somewhat listless role.

Difficult to know what to make of this all. The reviews are better than I expected they might be, but there still isn’t anything here to persuade me that the film is a Best Picture contender, despite what Screen International believes.

Winslet’s backers should be happy with those notices, but if her character is really that difficult to connect with emotionally, it could be a drawback to her Oscar chances. For me, she still hovers outside the top five for Best Supporting Actress — until a couple of relevant precursors suggest otherwise.
