On behalf of his 2012 film "The Motel Life," Stephen Dorff will attend the 17th annual Ebertfest this year. Directed by Alan Polsky (a producer on Herzog's "Bad Lieutenant") and Gabe Polsky (director of 2014 doc "Red Army"), this working-class crime drama got a very positive review from Roger Ebert. The film was part of Dorff's career renaissance after getting a boost from Sofia Coppola's meandering "Somewhere." Also revealed is a list of panel discussions taking place at this year's Ebertfest from April 15-19 in Champaign-Urbana. On Sunday, April 19th following a screening of director Ethan Hawke's "Seymour: An Introduction," the film's subject, famed pianist Seymour Bernstein, will conduct an onstage master class with University of Illinois students.

But, intriguingly, this bruised, purple plum of a drama mostly connects just as a mood piece about the muddy rut of low self-esteem, and the [ Read More ]

Well, it's been a long time coming, nearly a year in fact since its 2012 Rome Film Festival debut, where it picked up three awards—editing, screenplay and the coveted Audience Award—but "The Motel Life" (our review here) is finally making its way onto screens this week. The debut film from producing-turned-directing brothers Gabe and Alan Polsky, starring Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff with Dakota Fanning in a small role, the film is based on the 2006 novel by musician and writer Willy Vlautin and tells the story of two brothers who flee their Reno motel after getting involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident.While they're new on the scene as directorial talents, the brothers have been around for a while, producing Werner Herzog's lunatic "Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call - New Orleans" and the Juno Temple film "Little Birds," and having an in-development slate that currently boasts no fewer than seven titles.

In The Motel Life, Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff play two brothers, Frank and Jerry, who are living a lonesome country tune’s tale, with specific accents on their bad luck. When Jerry becomes involved in a hit-and-run accident, the two flee their Reno motel for some type of other home, continuing their existence as whiskey-drinking, fantasy-drawing vagabonds. Dakota Fanning stars as Hirsch’s fixation, Annie James, and Kris Kristofferson appears for a few scenes as their working-class daddy figure Earl Hurley. The Motel Life is based on the novel by Willy Vlautin.
Featuring two raggedy performances from the nicely paired Dorff and Hirsch, The Motel Life is a drama that functions well with its influences, namely the Coen Brothers’ romanticism of cold, bad luck, and bits of Paul Thomas Anderson’s own debut Hard Eight.

- The Scorecard Review
On the surface, there should be nothing particularly special about producer-turned-director brothers Gabe and Alan Polsky's debut, "The Motel Life." Threatening to sound like indie-by-numbers on paper, the film, based on the well-received novel of the same name by Willy Vlautin, is indeed familiar in its downbeat, disenfranchised Americana setting and even some of its themes: familial love, redemption and the fragility of hope in the face of ill-starred circumstances. But while it doesn't reinvent the wheel, or revolutionize the genre, it achieves its modest ambitions affectingly well, in no small part due to a clutch of cherishable performances, especially from leads Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff, as brothers Frank and Jerry Lee. And beyond being well-performed, it has an inspired ace up its sleeve: Interspersed within the minor-key drama, but somehow never interrupting its flow, are brief pencil animations, illustrations of the stories Frank tells. These interludes provide a.

Chicago – Alan and Gabe Polsky are brothers, film producers and now directors. The sibling tandem make their debut with “The Motel Life,” featuring Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff as disparate brothers trying to make a go in life with no money and no prospects, just a series of random motels and their unbreakable kinship.

This is a stylish film, with an added touch of animation to fulfill the fantasy elements of storytelling between the film brothers.

While the premise of Gabe and Alan Polsky’s The Motel Life isn’t anything revolutionary – two attractive brothers (Stephen Dorff and Emile Hirsch) on the run from the law, struggling with whether or not they should own up to their misdeeds – the way in which their conflicts are framed is something to talk about. Hirsch and Dorff star as brothers who grew up depending on each other for everything, including now, when Dorff is involved in a fatal car accident and needs that fact not to be known. In order to cope with this situation, and presumably many of the other hardships they’ve had to endure, the brothers spin their reality into the kinds of adventures you’d read about it little boys’ storybooks. They’re sailors of the sea and fighter pilots, not transients living out of motels trying to make it to the next week. The stories are represented through animated sequences, shown...

Following a debut at the Rome Film Festival last year, and appearances in Chicago and Philadelphia, the new drama The Motel Life is finally heading to theaters. Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff star in the film as two brothers living in Reno, Nevada, trying to hide evidence of a fatal accident one of them caused. While the plot is pretty basic, what really makes this one stick out is the inclusion of animated segments for parts of the story. In the trailer, they seem a little out of place, but maybe they work better in the context of the film's story presentation. Also, Dakota Fanning continues to grow up before our eyes. Watch below! Here's the first trailer for Gabe & Alan Polsky's The Motel Life, originally from Yahoo: The Motel Life is directed by Gabe & Alan Polsky and written by Micah Fitzerman-Blue & Noah Harpster, based on the novel of...

Larry Clark's tale of wild teens in Texas crowned best film, with awards also going to Stephen Dorff-starring The Motel Life
The losers, boozers and casual users of Marfa Girl found a happy ending of sorts as Larry Clark's new picture took the top prize at the seventh Rome film festival. Marfa Girl, a tale of wild teens in small-town Texas, took the Golden Marc'Aurelio award, bringing the curtain down on an event that has faced criticism for both the quality of its films and a perceived lack of big-name guests.
Marfa Girl paints a portrait of a Texas melting-pot near the Mexican border, inhabited by Hispanics, working-class white families and hippie artists. It stars Adam Mediano as the mixed-up teenage hero, Drake Burnette as a libidinous art student and Jeremy St James as a border patrolman on the brink of a meltdown. Clark – whose previous films...

What does it look like when you have a job to write a feature film about Albert Einstein?
Well, that’s the right kind of question for Stephen Schiff, because he has been hired to write it for Odd Lot Entertainment.
He will write an original screenplay drawn from Einstein materials archived at Princeton and Hebrew Universities, as well as the Walter Isaacson biography, Einstein: His Life and Universe, published by Simon & Schuster in 2007.
At this moment we don’t have many details about this project, but we know that producers Gabe and Alan Polsky of Polsky Films acquired Einstein’s life rights in 2007 before Isaacson’s book was published.
The pair later brought Isaacson on board the project as a consultant. In the deal, Polsky Films secured access to Einstein’s personal and professional materials at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which was co-founded by Einstein in 1918.

For those not framiliar with writer Jonathan Lethem, I'd highly recommend checking out his body of work. I discovered him with The Wall of the Sky, The Wall of the Eye, a collection of short stories which included The Happy Man which was about a man allowed to return from death for short periods of time to provide for his family, and have continued on with As She Climbed Across the table which is about a girl in love with a black hole. But probably finest of all of his works is the Excellent sci-fi noir Gun, With Occasional Music which involves the usual femme fatale and a murder along with the non-standard highly intelligent "baby-heads" and enhanced kangaroos.

In addition to their many literary charms, the novels of Jonathan Lethem have an unusual superpower: they resist cinematic adaptations with great vigor. Ironic, given the heavy cinematic awareness and influences on his novels. Lethem's latest, Chronic City, even opens with a scene in the offices of the Criterion Collection, and has some entertaining discussion of cinematic masterworks both real and imagined. For ages, Ed Norton was promising to direct and star in a version of Motherless Brooklyn, as the tourettes-afflicted protagonist Lionel Essrog. There hasn't been any publicly-announced movement on that one in ages, and I'm hoping it isn't dead. And Maria Full of Grace director Joshua Marston is reportedly adapting Fortress of Solitude, but that one has been quiet for a while, too. Now Gabe and Alan Polsky, the producers behind Werner Herzog's recent Bad Lieutenant, have optioned Lethem's first novel, Gun, With Occasional Music. THR reports on the option,...

Even for a movie with such a great deal of drug abuse, there is a lot of crazy stuff that goes on in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans - break-dancing souls, imaginary lizards, and dream sequences that turn out to be real. As a movie set in the here-and-now, it takes quite a few liberties with "reality," so one must wonder how it would have been treated if sent into the distant future. Now it looks like we won't have to wonder much longer. Gabe and Alan Polsky, the producers of the Herzog film, have optioned Gun, With Occasional Music, a "sci-fi noir" based on the novel by Jonathan Lethem, according to THR. Based in the style of pulp writers like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, the story revolves around a private investigator based in the Bay Area who is hired by a man who claims that he...

How you doing today, folks? Good? Glad to hear it.
First up: Steven Spielberg has abandoned the remake of Harvey, after he and his lead, Robert Downey, Jr., had some creative differences over the script. That's the awesome power of Downey, folks. He can make one of the best superhero movies of all time without a script and he can sink a remake that should've never been remade to begin with. Happy Days, folks!
Elsewhere, Johnny Depp is set to star as Pancho Villa in Emir Kusturica's Seven Friends of Pancho Villa and the Woman With Six Fingers. It's set to be a Spanish-language film (there's a new challenge for Depp) that Salma Hayek will likely co-star in. Filming, however, won't begin until 2011 because of Depp's busy schedule; a lot can happen in over a year, so we'll see if this movie ever really comes together.

Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans starring Nicholas Cage caught Alex by surprise when he saw it at Telluride, and now the film's producers are riding some good buzz to their next project as THR reports that brothers Gabe and Alan Polsky have optioned Jonathan Lethem's novel Gun, With Occasional Music, which follows an archetypal private eye as he delves into the murder of a prominent urologist. Interesting elements include super-smart children called "baby-heads," evolved animals, erotic nerve swapping, debit cards holding one's karma and a kangaroo that works for the mob. Wait, what the? Apparently the novel has drawn interest from filmmakers for over a decade so don't get your hopes up just yet. But I'm hoping this one gets off the ground. While I haven't read the book, judging by the cool elements Lethem has introduced in what sounds like an interesting universe,...

If you go see Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans this weekend and walk out of it thinking, how the hell did this movie get made and come together this way, well, here's the story. A few weeks ago I met up with producer Alan Polsky (seen to the left with Herzog) at a lunch joint in Beverly Hills to talk about how he got into the business (Alan and his brother Gabe recently started producing) and how this version of Bad Lieutenant got made with such heavyweights as Nicolas Cage and Werner Herzog. Not only is the Bad Lieutenant story great to hear, but he's got big aspirations for the future. So read on! And before we start, I saw Herzog's Bad Lieutenant at Telluride (read my review) and absolutely loved it. Despite hating the promo trailer, I actually loved the movie, it was crazy...

- Despite only being in theaters for the past two weeks and having Away We Go rake in just under a million at the Bo, Focus Features is thinking long term with Sam Mendes (well at least till 2011) and are hoping to get the filmmaker to take on a pair of period piece projects. Mendes and Neal Street Prods have according to Variety, signed a two-year first-look deal that could see Mendes direct. Mendes has gone back in time (Road to Perdition and Revolutionary Road), but not this far back. Not "Miller's" but Butcher's Crossing is based on the 1960 revisionist Western novel by John Williams and is set in 1870s America, the pic focuses on a man who forsakes his Harvard education to move to the small Kansas town of Butcher's Crossing.

Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Vondie Curtis Hall, Shawn Hatosy, Denzel Whitaker and Xzibit are about to have a "Bad" trip.
They're set to join Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendez in Werner Herzog's cop drama "Bad Lieutenant." Shea Wigham, Katie Chonacas ("Righteous Kill") and Brad Dourif also are among those who will appear in the update of Abel Ferrara's cult classic.
The original followed the depraved adventures of a corrupt policeman (Harvey Keitel) investigating the rape of a nun. The new film will feature Cage as the titular crooked cop and capture the spirit of the original, with the protagonist's drug intake, accepting sexual favors as bribes and other elements that endeared so many to the 1992 version.
The new film will feature Kilmer as Cage's partner, while Xzibit will play a villain.
The original's producer, Edward R. Pressman, will produce the new version with Stephen Belafonte, Alan Polsky and Gabe Polsky. Billy Finkelstein wrote the screenplay, loosely based on Ferrara and Zoe Lund's script.
Nu Image/Millennium's project will feature the company's Avi Lerner, Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short and Boaz Davidson as exec producers, along with Elliot Rosenblatt and Alessandro Camon. Randall Emmett and Cage's Saturn Films also produce. Filming is set to begin later in the summer.
Kilmer is repped by Icm and Affirmative. Balk is repped by Innovative and Untitled. Coolidge is repped by Gersh. Curtis Hall is repped by Gersh and 3 Arts. Hatosy is repped by Ifa and Mee. Whitaker is repped by Wma. Xzibit is repped by Paradigm and Management 360. Wigham is repped by Principal Management. Chonacas is repped by Holder Management. Dourif is repped by Innovative.
