Generally regarded as a master of snark, Kristen Bell made it very clear she's capable of much beyond that at the Sundance Film Festival this year, portraying a crumbling, depressive 29-year-old in Liz W. Garcia's affecting "The Lifeguard." The film -- screening in U.S. Dramatic Competition at the festival -- sees Bell's character Leigh quitting her job as a New York City reporter and moving back to her parents' house in Connecticut. She reunites with her high school best friends (Martin Starr and Mamie Gummer) and romances a similarly melancholic 16-year-old boy (David Lambert). It doesn't hold back when they inevitably start having sex: A scene set in the changeroom of the pool definitely stands out as one of Sundance's sexiest. A very pregnant Bell sat down with Indiewire a few days after the film premiered, discussing said sex scene, the challenges of taking on a very dramatic role and,...

Arvind Iyer’s Drapchi will be screened under the ‘The World Today’ section of the 28th Warsaw Film Festival. The 80 minute musical was earlier screened at the Osian’s Cinefan Film Festival 2012.
The Warsaw Film Festival will run from 12th – 21st October, 2012.
The synopsis of the film on the festival website reads: “Modern Tibet: a systematic war is being waged with the traditional past. Punishment awaits those who raise their voices in protest. This is the case with Yiga Gyalnang, a traditional Tibetan opera singer. She is abducted one morning and finds herself in near complete isolation in an underground prison cell in Drapchi, the biggest jail in Lhasa, Tibet. After two years, she breaks free and escapes to Nepal and from there, to the West. With her, she takes her strength, her spirituality, her Tibetan song.

ABC Family's The Fosters has cast the biological son of the lesbian couple with David Lambert, and the troubled teen they take in will be played by Maia Mitchell.
It looks like Bryan Fuller's Mockingbird Lane will not be going forward as a series. It evidently came off as too "high concept."
The reddit effort to have Taylor Swift play a concert at the Horace Mann School for the Deaf has a happy ending, with the school being disqualified, but Swift is donating $10,000 to the school, and her sponsors are chipping in another $40,000 in donations.
The Supreme Court declined to take up the National Organization for Marriage's appeal in the case of Maine's financial disclosure laws, meaning they'll have to reveal their donors per state law.
Teen Wolf has just announced an open call for two hot male actors to play twin werewolves on the show next season,...

"Battlestar Galactica" alum Michael Trucco has signed up for a recurring role on "Revenge," TVLine reports.
Trucco will play Nate, "the street-smart, charismatic and slightly menacing brother of new Hamptons resident Kenny," on the vengeful ABC drama, according to TVLine. As previously announced, the role of Kenny is being played by the equally intimidating J.R. Bourne, best known for his work on "Teen Wolf" and "The Secret Circle."
Trucco is currently appearing as Robin's new beau on "How I Met Your Mother," but since we all know she ends up walking down the aisle with Barney (or at least leaving him at the altar), we're fairly sure Trucco won't be around for too long.

Ben Wheatley's Sightseers is selected for Directors' Fortnight special screening, while British theatre director Rufus Norris's debut Broken will open Critics' Week
The Cannes film festival's two major independent sidebars have announced their lineup for the forthcoming festival, providing UK and Us film-makers with a considerable boost to their presence on the Croisette.
Ben Wheatley, who has impressed critics and fans alike with his first two films, Down Terrace and Kill List, has seen his third, Sightseers, selected for a special screening in the Directors' Fortnight event, while British theatre director Rufus Norris's debut feature, Broken, has been given the opening slot for the Critics' Week section. Sightseers is described as a "pitch-black comedy" about a caravan trip around the north of England, while Broken is an adaptation of Daniel Clay's novel, and stars Cillian Murphy and Tim Roth.

When you take a look at the ten films selected for the 51st Semaine de la Critique at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival don't be surprised if you don't recognize any of the directors' names. Nine the ten are first time feature directors with only Sandrine Bonnaire working on his sophomore effort with the William Hurt-led J'enrage de son absence. Serving as the opening feature will be UK director Rufus Norris's Broken. The film stars Tim Roth (2012 Cannes Un Certain Regard jury president) and Cillian Murphy and was adapted from Daniel Clay's novel of the same title, which centers on a young girl whose life changes after she witnesses a brutal attack. Additional information on the rest of the selection is hard to come by, though Bonnaire and Alice Winocour do give the fest a pair of films from female directors. Of the two, Bonnaire's J'enrage de son...
