Jeff Buckley Pic Rivalry Heats As Broadway Spidey Reeve Carney Commits To Star

EXCLUSIVE: Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark star Reeve Carney has signed on to play Jeff Buckley in the untitled film about the late musician that Welcome to the Rileys helmer Jake Scott is putting together for a November shoot. Carney, who performed the Bono/The Edge-penned Spider-Man single Rise Above 1 at the American Idol finale, will do all the singing to bring to life the music of Buckley, who was just getting started as a solo artist when he drowned at age 30. Considering that Buckley had only released a single album when he died in 1997 after getting caught in the wake of a passing boat in Tennessees Wolf River, it seems amazing that there are not one but three feature films about him. The first one to start production will be Greetings From Tim Buckley, the Dan Algrant-directed indie film that starts a four-week shoot Monday in Brooklyn. Conventional wisdom that the first film out of the gate wins doesn't necessarily apply here; these two projects tell very different stories about Buckley. Scott is making a biopic, while Greetings From Tim Buckley stars Gossip Girls Penn Badgley as a pre-fame Jeff Buckley who reconnects with his estranged father Tim by singing at a tribute concert for his folk-singer dad. In Algrants film, that short adventure forged Jeff Buckleys own solo aspirations. The other Buckley film is called A Pure Drop and it is being mounted by Mad Bastards director Brendan Fletcher out of Australia. The title comes from the book A Pure Drop: The Life of Jeff Buckley. Carney will star in what Scott hopes will be a definitive film about Jeff Buckley's life, and WME is raising funding. They have exclusive rights to Buckleys music and personal archives, including the nod from Sony to use Leonard Cohens Hallelujah, which is perhaps Buckley's best-known tune from his first album Grace. A second album, Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, was released after Buckley died. Buckleys mother, Mary Guibert, has also thrown in with Scotts project and is executive producer. The script by Ryan Jaffe (The Rocker) was informed by the David Browne book Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley. Insiders behind Greetings From Tim Buckley said that since their film takes place at a tribute concert performed before Jeff Buckley generated his own solo songs, they didnt need his song rights to tell a father-son story with a rights package deal made with the estate of Tim Buckley. Badgley will do his own singing as Jeff Buckley, and Imogen Poots, Ben Rosenfield, and Norbert Leo Butz also star. In casting Carney, director Scott called him the perfect combination of musical prodigy, impish charm, innate intelligence and sensitivity to play Jeff. Scott, the son of director Ridley Scott, has directed videos for the likes of R.E.M., Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins and The Cranberries. He has a common thread with Carney: He has directed vids for U2; aside from singing nightly the Spider-Man songs by Bono and The Edge, Carney and his band of the same name opened for U2 on the last stop of its mammoth 360 tour. Michelle Sy and Orian Williams are producing the Scott-directed film, and Jeff Buckley Music's Alison Raykovich is associate producer. Carney is repped by Paradigm and DAS Communications. Here is Buckley singing Hallelujah:

'Captain America' Surprisingly Loved by the World

America isn't a four- letter word overseas, after all. Many assumed Paramount and Marvel Studios' Captain America: The First Avenger would struggle in foreign markets because of the character's patriotic overtones.our editor recommends10 Top Summer Superheroes Of All Time: Battle of Box Office Brawn'Captain America' Star Chris Evans: 5 Things to Know'Captain America' Reviews: What Critics Say But the film jumped $100 million during its second weekend of international release and has rolled out in only 41 markets, many of them smaller territories. That means Captain America has plenty of life left. Domestically, where the release had a one-week head start, it has earned $143.2 million. The 3D pic is doing especially big business in Latin America and Southeast Asia, pacing ahead of Marvel's Thor in territories including Mexico and Brazil, where it has cumed $15.7 million and $14.5 million, respectively. It also has done solid business in the U.K. and Ireland ($11.1 million), Australia ($8.5 million) and even former Cold War foe Russia ($7.7 million). PHOTOS: 10 Top Summer Superheroes Of All Time: Battle of Box Office Brawn Captain America touched down in Spain during the Aug. 5 to 7 weekend and grossed $2.5 million, 30 percent ahead of Warner Bros.' Clash of the Titans. And in Hong Kong, it opened to $2.5 million, 11 percent ahead of Thor and 24 percent better than 2008's Iron Man. Box-office observers say Captain America is on track to gross $200 million offshore, about the same as this summer's X-Men: First Class. Created during World War II (its first cover featured the superhero punching out Adolf Hitler), the Captain America comic tells the story of Steve Rogers, a scrawny kid from Brooklyn who dreams of fighting for the U.S. and the Allies. He gets his wish when he is transformed into a super-soldier and takes on the Nazis. Through the years, the Captain America comic books have been published in at least 75 countries, creating a far-flung fan base. Paramount Pictures International president Andrew Cripps notes that the character is so well known outside the U.S. that every country but three -- Russia, Ukraine and South Korea -- opted to use the title Captain America: The First Avenger instead of The First Avenger (Paramount gave them a choice). Ask many in Hollywood, and they are under the assumption that foreign markets opted for the shorter title. Wrong. Paramount's international campaign has focused on the film's action, rather than it being a World War II period piece. The studio also is tub-thumping the 3D, which remains a big lure overseas. "We are very pleased with Captain America's international results so far, which clearly demonstrate the worldwide popularity of the iconic lead character," says Cripps, "as well as the continuing power of 3D at the box office." HOW THE SUMMER SUPERHEROES ARE DOING: The genre continues to whip up big business but has lost some of its charm at the domestic boxoffice.

'Breaking Bad' at Impasse as AMC's Growing Pains Emerge (Analysis)

Thanks to AMC It's been fascinating to look at AMC recently. Inside a slightly less magnified illustration of the troubles Cinemax experienced 3 or 4 years back, AMC is discovering that being the golden child only lasts before first growing pains start working. Or even the first mistakes occur. For AMC, however, lots of recent management choices are now being met with elevated eye brows in the market and both angry and worried responses from fans of their shows. PHOTOS: Behind the curtain of 'The Walking Dead' Both in discussions with Mad Males creator Matt Weiner throughout the run from the show, the impasses semed surprising. His show put AMC into the spotlight and regardless of how relatively small the rankings were, you are able to't put a cost on developing a brand on your own almost overnight. AMC was dowdy and dead, under an afterthought before Mad Males. Why risk pissing from the goose that laid that great thing about an egg? Discussions got tense and -- worse -- leaking in to the news. Both occasions. That shouldn't have happened but, once we think back, might have been an indication. You can begin to see the predicament that AMC is at. It had been tough to imagine the way they were obtaining the money to sustain Mad Males. Then, the next time around it had been apparent that giving Weiner and Hamm yet others money to carry on would cripple the funnel's likelihood of branching out. STORY: 'The Walking Dead': Showrunner Frank Darabont Walking Lower Breaking Bad would be a series that fell in AMC's lap from Forex, but AMC a minimum of had the vision and guts to build up it fully and -- voila -- all of a sudden it had both best dramas on tv (they still do). That, as you may guess, wasn't cheap. But AMC ongoing to branch from there, developing a miniseries from the Prisoner, then your ambitious but unsuccessful drama Rubicon, then the large hit within the Walking Dead and also the buzzed-about after which bumped-about series The Killing. AMC's next foray right into a series is Hell on Wheels, a stylized Western. Even just a few days ago, the greatest worry -- unstated -- was controlling fall-out and, possibly, anticipation. The ending towards the Killing annoyed numerous fans and just how that reaction was handled (poorly) was magnified by showrunner Veena Sud chiming in and verifying some accusations that they may not get exactly what the gripes were about content-smart, and therefore maybe in over her mind artistically. Soon after that, Frank Darabont, the executive producer and guiding pressure behind The Walking Dead abruptly left. And having seen the pilot of Hell on Wheels -- a set which will need a ton of labor and perhaps some hopes -- it had been hard to not believe that maybe AMC was learning hard method in which show runners like Weiner and Breaking Bad's Vince Gilligan were elite talents and individuals people just don't arrive that frequently. Translation: The Killing and Hell on Wheels might be very distant relations to Mad Males and Breaking Bad when it comes to quality. PHOTOS: Summer time TV Preview 2011: 'Breaking Bad,' 'The Glee Project' and much more That's certainly chaos worth masking or fixing behind the curtain (and also to AMC's credit, following a delay the funnel did adequately reassure industry experts and fans that the good team in the Walking Dead is at spot to dominate as Darabont left.) Then came word Tuesday from the La Occasions story that discussions for any fifth season from the acclaimed Breaking Bad were going sideways which the show had been looked elsewhere just just in case everything imploded. (Breaking Bad creator Gilligan has stated lately he thinks the show should finish after five seasons -- it's presently in Season 4). The Occasions reported that AMC had requested that episodes on Breaking Bad be slashed from 13 to 6 or eight -- a request that spurred the quest for a backup funnel. REVIEW: Breaking Bad Season Four Already there have been gossips that Darabont left The Walking Dead because AMC desired to provide the series less cash per episode of computer did in Season 1 -- despite being AMC's greatest-ranked series. Imaginable that Darabont may have been considering obtaining a bigger budget because of the rankings and therefore pissed on discover the Walking Dead might be employed to subsidize the money compensated to Mad Males, the planet's most gorgeous and written-about loss-leader. And today the squeeze about the financials is striking Breaking Bad, a turn of occasions that AMC must get in check immediately. Why? Because situations are searching bleaker than the usual frightened survivor being encircled by zombies. It's bad that AMC appears not capable of getting its worries from the news cycle (also it might have been much worse had more experts viewed the Hell on Wheels screener). STORY:'The Killing' Showrunner Responds to Finale Backlash: 'I Don't Desire to be Kinda Loved' Now AMC looks to become a funnel that doesn't have the cash to correctly keep up with the two cleverest jewels within the television landscape. It absolutely needed Mad Males to visit completely towards the finish line just like it absolutely needs Breaking Bad to obtain a fifth season of their brilliant run and venture out on the top. That's an offer that has to have completed (now that it's no more being discussed in private, the earlier the greater). What AMC is finding is you can be considered a do-no-wrong darling one moment after which regarded as bumbling fool the following. Hell, it happened to Cinemax, the gold-standard of cable programming. Cinemax required some protuberances plus some well-deserved critique, but ultimately fought against (in other words designed) its long ago up. STORY:Did 'The Killing' Just Kill Itself? AMC should tackle no-brainer first -- extend Breaking Bad to some fifth and final season. This way you've been an excellent steward for 2 brilliant series and nobody can ever take that from you. Since announcing the succession team in the Walking Dead was met with approval, AMC can consider that fire doused. But residual within the distance is how you can fix The Killing and, you might hope, get future episodes (otherwise the pilot) of Hell on Wheels upgraded. Because when it stands, if Hell on Wheels doesn't work artistically, it may be like AMC gave series to showrunners better outfitted for network telelvision rather than extend a brandname of greatness, which AMC is pushing. This can be a very intriguing amount of time in the introduction of AMC like a funnel. Whether it doesn't act rapidly with Breaking Bad, with firm creative control soon using the Killing and Hell on Wheels, we may witness the quickest decline of the television brand in recent memory.
