After a long bout with cancer, the Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch died on Friday (May 4). The rapper's death comes as a huge blow to fans of his work with the iconic trio, but he'll also be remembered for the imprint he left on the film world.
While he's widely known as a co-founder of the Brooklyn hip-hop group, McA was an accomplished director and producer, and his music is featured on an array of popular music soundtracks. The Hollywood community took to Twitter this afternoon to share their thoughts, with Ben Stiller tweeting, "So sad that Adam Yauch is gone. A truly great musician & filmmaker. He stood for integrity as an artist. What a loss. He was a very good man.

Nothing like a major update on one of the year’s most anticipated films. A press release (via Deadline) tells us that Sony Pictures Classics are, once again, teaming up with Michael Haneke on his latest guilt-fest, Amour; there’s no hint as to when a theatrical release will take place, although this should more or less secure it for that long-expected Cannes debut next month. (To put things into perspective: Just about every film he’s made since Funny Games — 2008′s remake being the sole exception — have hit Southern France in mid-May. With this action taking place now, it’s pretty hard to imagine this missing the mark.)
Starring Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva, Amour centers on an elderly couple whose strength is tested following the wife’s debilitating stroke. Isabelle Huppert also stars, playing their daughter, while William Shimell is following up his feature acting debut (Certified Copy) in an undisclosed role.

Mary Mazzio.s The Apple Pushers has nothing to do with MacBook Pros and the newest iPads. Instead, it.s an upcoming documentary about five immigrant street vendors who attempt to peddle their fruits in neighborhoods that are challenged by obesity. The uplifting and good-intentioned doc is getting national publicity because of narrator Edward Norton.s involvement and a new trailer that aptly hit Apple's trailer page does a fine job of selling the message, as well. Check it out below or in HD over there This isn.t just a lecture. The film appears to explore each vendor.s passage into the United States (through difficult channels), then settles into its heath-conscious lesson plan. "The people in the areas who needs fruits and vegetables don.t have access to them," one expert states in the clip. But what if healthy, nutritious options were brought to them?The experiment sends...

With Moonrise Kingdom and The Bourne Legacy hitting in the latter half of this year, 2012 should be the biggest period of Edward Norton‘s career in quite some time. It’s not all big projects, though; there’s also The Apple Pushers, a documentary he’s narrating, and which focuses on the efforts of immigrants to disseminate fruit as a way of fighting obesity.
Interesting material for Norton to get involved with, and the trailer from Apple (whoa!) shows some promise. While the actual piece is horribly edited and completely on-the-nose, I always appreciate documentaries that bring noble, obscure efforts to light. This seems to match that description, so I’m definitely hoping the final product will have some cinematic weight to it.
