Kudos for David Cronenberg at Cannes Film Festival
Tuesday May 20th 2014So far this year, most of the offerings at the Cannes Film Festival have been family affairs. That’s especially true of David Cronenberg’s Maps to the Stars, which received an enthusiastic response at its first media screening on Sunday evening. A dark satire of human excess set in Hollywood, it stars John Cusack and Olivia Williams as a Los Angeles couple whose son (Evan Bird) is a troubled child star and whose daughter (Mia Wasikowska) has just returned after a long absence. She meets a limo drive (Robert Pattinson) and gets a job as personal assistant to a neurotic actress named Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), who is contemplating playing her own mother in a movie.

Godzilla trashes Toronto to promote new film
Thursday May 15th 2014There’s guerilla marketing, and then there’s Godzilla marketing. As part of a massive promotional push for this weekend’s opening of would-be summer blockbuster Godzilla, Warner Bros. has created an apocalyptic scene that looks like a path of destruction created by the iconic movie monster. The downtown Toronto installation includes a wrecked subway car, a flattened New York taxi and a crashed plane on the roof of a building, while a wall mural by Canadian mural artist William Lazos lends additional authenticity to the scene by creating the illusion of a cracked and fire-scorched building. The scene was created by Juxta Productions, a Toronto-based entertainment marketing agency whose previous promotional work has included a recreation of Dumbledore’s office for the 2009 release of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
