Film Adaptation of “Love Everlasting” In The Works With Sony Pictures Entertainment

Posted on by

love-everlastingThe epic, time-bending Eisner and Harvey Award nominated graphic novel series, Love Everlasting by Eisner Award winning writer Tom King (Batman, The Vision, Mister Miracle) and fan-favorite artist Elsa Charretier (November, The Infinite Loop) will be adapted for film from Sony Pictures Entertainment. According to last week’s exclusive scoop at DEADLINE on the news, “Room helmer Lenny Abrahamson attached to direct and Jane Goldman writing the script. Emma Watts and Element’s Ed Guiney are producing.”

The Love Everlasting comic book series follows main character Joan Peterson who discovers that she is trapped in an endless, terrifying cycle of “romance.” A problem to be solved, a man to marry—and every time she falls in love she’s torn from her world and thrust into another teary saga. Her bloody journey to freedom and revelation is both breathtaking and groundbreaking.

Since its launch, Love Everlasting has garnered a slew of accolades including rave reviews from Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Booklist, Foreword Reviews, and more. It was even called out in a TikTok post by the Washington Post about the resurgence in Romance comics.

René Clément’s “Forbidden Games” New 4K Restoration At Film Forum

Posted on by

forbidden-games“Forbidden Games”, the 1952 French war drama by René Clément based on François Boyer’s novel Les Jeux Interdits, will run in a new 4K restoration at Film Forum from Friday, May 9 to Thursday, May 15.

“Michel! Michel! Michel!” France 1940, as a refugee column trudges along a country road, a dog makes a break for it, with its tiny blonde mistress in pursuit — and then the German fighters strike. But if 5-year-old Brigitte Fossey’s understanding of death is limited as she strokes her mother’s cold face, at least she can bury the dog discarded by her peasant rescuers, aided by 11-year-old farm boy Georges Poujouly. As they build a special, secret friendship, their pet cemetery steadily grows, topped by crosses stolen from graveyards, even as the adults play their own games of grotesque peasant feuds… And then Fossey (“in a performance that rips the heart out” – The New York Times) shouts his name again.

A masterpiece of French post-war cinema by director René Clément (who would make the classic thriller Purple Noon, starring Alain Delon, eight years later), adapted by the legendary team of Jean Aurenche and Pierre Bost from Boyer’s successful novel, with a haunting hit score played by guitar virtuoso Narciso Yepes, the ultimately beautiful, hilarious and disturbing “Forbidden Games” initially did so-so box office and screened only on the fringes of the Cannes Festival, then nearly got shut out of Venice — where it promptly won its top prize, the Golden Lion — and then became a worldwide art house smash and Clément’s second Best Foreign Film Oscar winner (following the previous year’s The Walls of Malapaga).

Stanley Nelson’s Soulful Doc “We Want The Funk!” To Stream on PBS and YouTube

Posted on by

we-want-the-funkDirected by Stanley Nelson and Nicole London, a new documentary explores the roots of funk.

Distinctly rooted in joy, funk music reflected a post-Civil Rights Movement sensibility. “We Want the Funk!” examines the symbiotic relationship between the explosion of funk music out of the Midwest and the political and racial dynamics in 1970s inner-city America.

A syncopated and star-studded voyage through the journey of funk music, the film delves into the genre’s influence on contemporary music, fashion, and freedom of expression as well as its role in the rise of hip-hop. At the heart of the film are the first-hand stories, recollections, and experiences of the people who created and defined along with additional perspectives from Questlove and Thomas DeFrantz.

The film also features archival interviews with musical icons, including James Brown, Elton John, David Bowie, and more.

“We Want The Funk!” is set to premiere on April 08, 2025.
