Ernest Hemingway means different things to different people. To some, he’s little more than a name on a required reading list in school, one of those white males whose work makes up the canon of Western literature. To others (and thanks to “10 Things I Hate About You”) he was an “abusive, alcoholic misogynist.” As directors Ken Burns and Lynn Novick lay out in their six-hour documentary for PBS, “Hemingway,” he was all of those things.
Per Burns’ reputation for thoroughness, “Hemingway” is one of the most comprehensive examinations of the man and the myth around him. Each episode, clocking in at nearly two hours over each of three episodes, isn’t just a historical biography of Hemingway’s life and relationships. It’s also an exploration of his writing process, how his life influenced his art, and a critical reexamination of how his literary endeavors hold up in...

Directors Ken Burns and Lynn Novick are promising a “nuanced” portrait of Ernest Hemingway in their three-part, six-hour documentary on the Nobel Prize-winning author coming to PBS in April.
Speaking at the PBS Winter Press Tour session Tuesday, Burns said the film deconstructs Hemingway’s image as a “hyper-masculine” archetype. “We were drawn at trying to get at a real Hemingway and I think the persona of the wild man, the drunk, the bar guy, the big game hunter, the big sea fisherman is sort of what we inherit, the baggage we carry. But almost immediately we began to see how thin and frail that was, not just for him but in fact.”
“The public persona…became such a burden for him, Novick noted. “And it becomes kind of exhausting, someone said in the film, to be Hemingway after a while. So it was especially wonderful to discover him young...

Nicole Kidman admits the subject matter in “Bombshell” “may be disturbing and cause you to recoil … but at the same time it does entertain you.” The film tells the true story of the sexual harassment scandal that brought down Roger Ailes, the chairman and CEO of Fox News. Kidman plays Gretchen Carlson, who first blew the whistle by suing Ailes in 2016, opening a floodgate of allegations against the network and its chief executive. Watch our exclusive video interview with Kidman about “Bombshell” as well as the second season of “Big Little Lies” above.
Ailes’s abuses of power were no laughing matter, but director Jay Roach and writer Charles Randolph were an “alluring” combo for Kidman because of their track record making sharp satires out of difficult subjects. Roach won multiple Emmys for exploring the 2000 presidential election (“Recount”) and Sarah Palin‘s 2008 vice presidential bid (“Game Change”), while Randolph won...

Exclusive: In its first original scripted series, Cinedigm is embracing its close ties with China by telling the story of Emily “Mickey” Hahn. The noted feminist and adventurer helped introduce Shanghai and greater China to U.S. readers in the 1930s through her articles in the New Yorker magazine.
The project is the first about Hahn’s life and the first major green-light for Cinedigm since it was recapitalized by Hong Kong investment firm Bison Capital Holdings in mid-2017. Mark Yellen Productions and Rosenbloom Entertainment are teaming with Cinedigm on the series. The exact distribution road map has yet to be fully drawn, but the companies see the series as a prestige property suitable for streaming, broadcast and cable networks around the world.

Nicole Kidman may not have acted in a movie alongside James Gandolfini, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know what it was like working with him. The late Sopranos star was an executive producer on Hemingway & Gellhorn, last year's HBO film starring Kidman and Clive Owen. "Such a great actor, what a big loss," Kidman said in a statement to E! News. "Sending love and prayers to James' family. He will be greatly missed." Hemingway & Gellhorn tells the story of Ernest Hemingway and his journalist wife Martha Gellhorn. Owen played The Old Man and the Sea novelist with Kidman as Gellhorn. It was premiered a little over a year ago. Directed by Philip Kaufman, the...

James Gandolfini died today; though The Sopranos was his defining part, he had a distinguished career on the big screen. Here we look back at the pick of his roles
Growing up in a devoutly Roman Catholic working class Italian-American family in New Jersey, it would be no surprise that James Gandolfini quickly found film roles as mob enforcers, brutal hit men and other assorted mafiosi when he got interested in acting in the mid-80s. After a string of small roles, Gandolfini made a major impact in True Romance, the Quentin Tarantino-scripted thriller directed by the late Tony Scott.
Gandolfini benefitted from the Tarantino effect again with Get Shorty, the Elmore Leonard adaptation that gained traction after the success of Qt's Pulp Fiction, featuring that film's star John Travolta. Gandolfini again plays a hoodlum, Bear - though one who does a bit of movie stuntwork on the side.

Chicago – It doesn’t sound like a particularly bad idea. In exploring the globe-trotting adventures of author Ernest Hemingway and war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, why not use archival footage of the actual sights and sounds that they encountered, while nesting the actors into the frame, a la “Forrest Gump”? I didn’t think it was a bad idea at all until roughly three minutes into the movie.
Suddenly the picture fades into a grainy blue haze as Hemingway (Clive Owen) is witnessed on his fishing boat, pulling in his latest big catch with cavalier bravado. The moment is supposed to function as a stirring introduction to his character, but it’s completely undermined by the jarringly amateurish special effects juxtaposing the actors against a green screen projecting old footage of a jarring sea (even the splashes of water seem superimposed). Considering the often stellar production values of HBO films, it...

Watch your ever-dwindling back, Matthew McConaughey! Nicole Kidman wants to steal the Academy’s hearts and minds next year, and she’s attempting to do it without losing sixty to eighty pounds to do it. Maybe she’ll slap on a blond fall and a little cheekbone highlighter, but that’s it! Currently filming her Grace Kelly biopic Grace of Monaco in Monaco, Kidman stepped out in a winter coat and ballgown yesterday looking like a dead ringer for the famous actress-turned-royalty. Then again, Kidman has always been a biopic hound.
Whether it’s playing Martha Gellhorn in Hemingway & Gellhorn, photographer Diane Arbus in Fur above…
Or author Virginia Woolf in The Hours, the woman’s never met a wig or false eyelashes she hasn’t liked. Nicole was also great as herself in Eyes Wide Shut (you can’t fool us, Stanley Kubrick!), but that probably doesn’t count.

Well if you hadn't really heard of Homeland prior to this weekend, you probably have by now. The Showtime series pulled off a major upset at the 64th Annual Emmy Awards last night, winning a large chunk of the major awards in the Drama category over favourites like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. Claire Danes and Damian Lewis both took home awards for Lead Actress and Actor in a Drama Series, while the show also broke Mad Men's four-year win streak for Outstanding Drama Series. Elsewhere, Aaron Paul won his second Emmy for his supporting performance as Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus won Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for Veep. Modern Family still took the Outstanding Comedy Series, however, while the HBO movie Game Change took the Outstanding Mini-Series or TV Movie. Kevin Costner did manage to pick up some...

Back in 2002, Julianne Moore lost her Best Actress Oscar bid for "Far From Heaven" to Nicole Kidman, her co-star in "The Hours." At next Sunday's Emmys, the two face off for Best Movie/Mini Actress and this time around Moore is expected to take home the gold. -Insertgroups:6- In the HBO telefilm “Game Change,” Moore portrays 2008 VP nominee Sarah Palin. Over the past quarter century, 14 women have won this category for recreating real-life people. And, of course, playing Palin won Tina Fey the Guest Comedy Actress Emmy three years ago. All of our Experts and Editors are predicting Moore to prevail as are almost 90% of our Users. Kidman, who plays real-life writer Martha Gellhorn in another HBO flick, "Hemingway and Gellhorn" has the backing of 5% of Users.

The Hollywood Reporter: How much did you know about war correspondent Martha Gellhorn before doing this film? Nicole Kidman: I didn't know anything about her, unfortunately. I did a crash course on her. Director Philip Kaufman provided many avenues for research -- I was able to watch film of her, look at photos, read her letters. There was so much access to Martha's mind and behavior, but it required an enormous amount of reading and studying; also, learning more about Hemingway, the Spanish Civil War, what ignited the Second World War. But my main goal was to absorb Martha's brilliance. Photos:

When I caught up with Nicole Kidman in May near the end of the Cannes Film Festival she just wanted to take off her shoes and relax. It was a grueling schedule as she had two films on successive nights in the official selection doing press conferences and walking up the Palais’ fabeled red carpeted steps two nights in a row. With her powerhouse portrayal of journalist Martha Gellhorn who also engaged in a tumultuous marriage as Ernest Hemingway’s third wife, Kidman had the rare opportunity of premiering a movie in Cannes that would debut on HBO just four nights later. And before this Oscar winning star (The Hours) showed there is practically nothing she won’t do for her art as the trampy Southern trollop in Precious director Lee Daniel’s first film since that triumph, The Paperboy, in which she stars opposite Matthew McConaughey, Zac Efron and John Cusack.

This spring Martha Gellhorn is enjoying a resurgence. Nicole Kidman did a fantastic job portraying her in HBO's "Hemingway & Gellhorn." Now the play, "Love Saves the Day," which Gellhorn co-wrote with Virginia Cowles, opens tonight (June 18).
Gellhorn (1908-1998) should never have gone away, prompting a resurgence. She is that important, yet it's not surprising most people don't know who she was. Yes, she was Hemingway's third wife, and hated being defined as such. Gellhorn was a fearless war correspondent, novelist and activist/journalist.
She had stowed away on a French hospital ship so she could be at the Normandy invasion. She scooped most, including her famous ex-husband. Gellhorn was brilliant and compassionate; I won't bother trying to hide my respect and admiration.
So I went into the Mint Theater rooting for this, and the reliably interesting theater company, housed just off Broadway, upstairs in an old building, does not disappoint.

Nicole Kidman has won an Oscar, a BAFTA and three Golden Globes, but she still needs an Emmy on her mantle. That could show up thanks to her role in HBO's "Hemingway and Gellhorn" as Martha Gellhorn, the daredevil war correspondent who fell in love and married Ernest Hemingway while dodging bombs and bullets in the Spanish Civil War and World War II. "That's when they came alive -- when they were in turmoil, when they were in chaos," Kidman tells Gold Derby via webcam about the literary duo who lived and loved so hard. "That's when Martha was able to be in love." In time, the union failed because the couple couldn't cope with peaceful lulls between wars. "When they were put into a domestic situation, particularly Martha, she didn't know how to function," Kidman says. "She didn't know what to do. because she needed the energy and her...

HBO goes back in time with Hemingway & Gellhorn, about the lives of writer Ernest Hemingway and journalist Martha Gellhorn. Director Philip Kaufman revealed to The Hollywood Reporter how he got involved with the project starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman. "Somebody presented me with a very long screenplay [by] Barbara Turner [and Jerry Stahl], which I came to think had some potential," Kaufman says. "We spent about eight years, producer Peter Kaufman and I, trying to develop this project eventually." As time went on, Kaufman became enthralled by Hemingway and Gellhorn, who were married from 1940-45. Photos:

Zap2it: Were you already a fan of Ernest Hemingway when you signed up to play him?
Clive Owen: I hadn't read that much. It started with Phil [Kaufman, the director] calling me and sending me the script. I pulled out of the next movie and immersed myself for months and months.
Zap2it: How did you research the writer?
Clive Owen: I traveled to Havana. When he died, his wife donated his house to the Cuban government, and it is locked down. His clothes, his records -- a lot of jazz -- his boots are in the closet.
Zap2it: What was it like in Cuba, where he is such an icon?
Clive Owen: The legacy he left is everywhere in Cuba. They so loved that he lived there.
Zap2it: What really struck you about him?
Clive Owen: His traveling was unbelievable for that time. He was 19 in Italy.

The opening shot focuses on an old woman's strong, lined face. It is the unadorned visage of Martha Gellhorn, a trailblazing correspondent who covered the front lines when women didn't. Nicole Kidman portrays her, and Clive Owen is Ernest Hemingway in HBO's "Hemingway & Gellhorn," airing Monday, May 28.
With the sun pouring through the windows behind her, only Kidman's bright blue eyes bear any resemblance to that old woman. Kidman kicks off her Jimmy Choos as she sips cocoa, describing Gellhorn as "this brave, intrepid, passionate woman."
The movie took executive producer James Gandolfini six years to bring to the screen, and director Philip Kaufman, in his first movie for television, explores how the writers met, fell in love, covered the world's main events and fought until they had to split.

Chicago – It pains me to say this — HBO’s “Hemingway & Gellhorn” is a complete mess, a film littered with awful directorial decisions, built on a misguided screenplay, and featuring performances that range from mediocre to downright horrendous. I’m as big a cheerleader for HBO and their line of original films as you’re likely to find but this is one of the worst.
TV Rating: 1.5/5.0
It’s not merely that I so often love what HBO delivers (their current Sunday line-up of “Game of Thrones,” “Girls,” and “Veep” is one of the best two-hour blocks of television in years) but that the cast, crew, and subject matter of this 154-minute epic seems tailor made for me. I would say that Ernest Hemingway’s work is one of the reasons that I became an English major in college and that director Philip Kaufman’s “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” helped make me a film nut.

All season, HBO has been pointing towards tonight’s Game of Thrones with promos promising, “War is Coming.” Well, the Battle of the Blackwater commences tonight with an episode written by George R.R. Martin himself. I can’t decide whether this specific show’s timing — on Memorial Day weekend — is forgivably unfortunate or somehow appropriate, but it seems at home during a weekend of classic war films that’s then followed by a star-studded trip back to the Spanish Civil War and a reimagining of the Snow White fairy tale that almost looks influenced by Thrones.

Cotillard has already won a Best Actress Academy Award, a British Academy Award, and two Césars, but she has never won a Cannes Award in the Official Competition. Barring an upset, this will be her year. [See also Cannes Best Actor Prediction.] Now, who could be the "upsets"? Well, there are a number of possibilities (and of course, ties aren’t infrequent at Cannes). Veterans Isabelle Huppert and Emmanuelle Riva, the two female stars in Michael Haneke’s acclaimed Amour / Love, could share the Best Actress Award — as was the case with the nearly all-female Volver cast in 2006. Or perhaps Huppert and Riva might share a "Best Ensemble" Award with fellow Amour player Jean-Louis Trintignant. That has (sort of) happened...

Ernest Hemingway is the kind of grandiose figure that it seems it would be difficult to contain within the framework of a feature film, and the decision to pair his life with that of his ex-wife Martha Gellhorn only adds to the task at hand. But with the leisure of a two-and-a-half hour running time, a starry ensemble, the guiding hands of director Philip Kaufman ("The Right Stuff," "The Unbearable Lightness Of Being") and the support of HBO, "Hemingway & Gellhorn" is a messy, but still worthwhile film about the two writers that does a strong job of bringing their complex, explosive and committed relationship to the big screen.
Penned by Jerry Stahl and Barbara Turner, the film is essentially divided into two parts: the first half of the movie follows the pair as they meet and then find themselves in Spain, both embedded in the battle against Franco and the...

"There's nothing to writing, Gellhorn," Ernest Hemingway tells journalist Martha Gellhorn, his lover and muse, in HBO's Hemingway & Gellhorn. "All you've got to do is sit down at your typewriter and bleed." The line would be easy to dismiss as Hollywood b.s. if it weren't an actual Hemingway quote, rephrased slightly by screenwriters Jerry Stahl and Barbara Turner, and spat out like a plug of chewing tobacco by the film's costar Clive Owen. Within minutes of Hemingway's pronouncement, which is meant to push Gellhorn (Nicole Kidman) past a bout of writer's block while she's covering the Spanish Civil War for Collier's Magazine, bombs fall on the city. Their hotel shudders under the impact. Hemingway gropes Gellhorn while shielding her body from shards of glass, and the two scribes end up naked on a bed, rutting hungrily while explosives flash in a window just beyond Gellhorn's upraised heels.Amazingly, Hemingway...

Here's what you should do on Memorial Day weekend: Weather permitting, go outside. Party. Have fun with your friends and family.
But if you are stuck inside and in desperate need of "entertainment" that will make you laugh until you throw up, there's "Hemingway and Gellhorn" (9 p.m. Et on Monday, May 28 on HBO), which stars Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman. Now that the first season of "Smash" has ended, this is the best hate-watching fodder we'll probably have for many months.
Why is hate-watching the only realistic option? Because loving or even liking this expensive misfire is simply not possible. Even more than last year's turgid "Mildred Pierce," "Hemingway and Gellhorn" is a gigantic missed opportunity, a jaw-droppingly trying waste of time. Don't let the fancy names in the cast fool you: This is a stupid, stupid movie.

Nicole Kidman and Clive Owens' new HBO movie “Hemingway & Gellhorn” may be focused on the famous American author's relationship with fellow war correspondent Martha Gellhorn, but it spends a good amount of time exploring their life in the bedroom. The movie doesn’t disappoint when it comes to delivering some sultry sex scenes, and as Kidman and Owen explained on “Good Morning America” (weekdays, 7 a.m. Et on ABC) that is not an accident. Director Philip Kaufman was fixated on the film's sex scenes.
"Everyone knows that Phil loves a good sex scene, and I have to be honest, he talked about nothing else for quite some time before we started filming. We kept having to tell him, 'Phil, there's a lot of other scenes before that scene,'" Owen quipped.
"It's true, we did. I said, 'Phil's obsessed with that scene,'" Kidman chimed in.
