IMO, the book edits the few unnecessary aspects of the book. And I think that it's best to experience the story the first time to Fincher's astounding visuals.
Julianne Moore, this year's clear best actress Oscar frontrunner for her work in Still Alice, won't be the only person associated with that film to get a major Oscar push, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Sony Pictures Classics intends to mount an all-out campaign for several others associated with the film, including and especially Kristen Stewart in the best supporting actress category, who plays the daughter of Moore's character.
"The picture is just a major achievement," Michael Barker, co-chief of Sony Pictures Classics, told The Hollywood Reporter on Friday. "It's a drama that embraces life and that captures the complexities of life. We see that very rarely in movies."
"In addition to the depth of its screenplay and direction, it features several major performances," Barker continued. "There's no question that Julianne Moore gives the greatest performance of her career to date — it's a performance of such amazing depth and subtlety — but one of the reasons it comes off so spectacularly well is that the actors around her are so strong. Kristen Stewart has never been better than she is in this film."
Of course if Prince would have released "Jealous," it would have flopped. He's in his 50s and not trying to appeal to the iTunes crowd. That goes without saying.
Doesn't Prince not even believe in iTunes? Or has he made amends with the Internet?
