The film icon and Sundance Film Festival founder has said he will cease to appear in front of the camera after Our Souls At Night and Old Man With A Gun.
Speaking in an interview with his grandson Dylan, Redford said he was “getting tired of acting” and the demands of being in front of camera.
He added that retirement from acting would allow him to direct and indulge one of his great loves, painting.
Redford’s comments came after his grandson asked him whether he ever thought about returning to painting.
“Yeah, a lot – and a lot lately because I’m getting tired of acting,” he replied. “I’m an impatient person, so it’s hard for me to sit around and do take after take after take.

With nearly 80 acting credits to his name — from classics such as The Sting, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Three Days of the Condor, and All the President’s Men to recent successes like All is Lost and Pete’s Dragon — Robert Redford has had a career like few others in Hollywood. Now, one aspect of his work will soon come to an end.

These days, the American movie going public is quite accustomed to seeing major motion picture based on a prior television series, as well as the opposite movement from big to small screen. But back in 1956, this wasn’t quite as common an adaptation, which may explain the lack of enthusiasm surrounding Foreign Intrigue, a beautifully photographed film directed by Sheldon Reynolds based on his successful television series of the same name, which aired 1951 to 1955. As retooled with matinee idol Robert Mitchum, the film’s rather schizophrenic narrative jumps freely between being a colorfully lush romantic European entanglement and espionage tinged noir narrative.
On the way to visit his enigmatic and mysterious employer, press agent Dave Bishop (Mitchum) finds his boss collapsed and barely breathing. The man expires in his arms, and it’s ruled his death was the cause of a heart attack. Or was it? Immediately, Bishop informs his...

His 20+-year career has been incredible, and he recently sat down with Dread Central to talk about his newest project, Sushi Girl.
Sushi Girl (review) is a unique horror-flavored heist-gone-wrong film directed by Kern Saxton that stars Todd along with Mark Hamill, Noah Hathaway, James Duval, Andy Mackenzie and Cortney Palm. When asked what audiences should expect when sitting down to watch Sushi Girl, Todd said, "I don't want to compare it to any other film because I think it's unique unto itself. Basically my character, Duke, is the leader of this particular crew and I invite a group of people back to see each other six years from the last time we met.

Crime Scene Pictures partners Adam Ripp and Rob Paris will partner with Nick Wechsler on Man With a Gun, a Robert Hewitt Wolfe-scripted action thriller. They’ve just set up the picture for Crime Scene to fully finance, and they’ll talk it up here to get a director and a foreign sales agent. The title character, Ike Bell, is a gunslinger on a personal mission to gut the participants in a drug war that has plagued a U.S. border town for generations. He infiltrates both sides and takes out operatives on his way to a fateful showdown with the warring kingpins. One is an American sheriff, the other a monstrous cross-dressing woman. Wechsler will produce with Ripp and Paris, Rizal Risjad and Philip Elway will be exec producers and Lizzy Bradford will co-produce. They will have their package ready for Berlin in February and start production next year.

Brighton Rock
Directed by Rowan Joffe
United Kingdom, 2010
No stranger to adaptations, Graham Greene has seen nearly 20 of his novels take their turn on the big-screen. Some (The End of the Affair in 1955, 1969, and 1999 and A Gun for Hire in 1961, 1972, and 1991) have turned up multiple times. The latest, Brighton Rock, directed by Rowan Joffe who is more famous for his screenplays (The American, 28 Weeks Later) than his behind-the-camera skills marks the second time that the gangster-tale of Pinkie Brown gets the cinematic treatment.
In 1947 Richard Attenborough played the lead role with particular menace in a production headed by John Boulting. The shadowy noir remained faithful to the plot of the Greene novel, but removed much of the deeper religious complexities, settling for above-average genre film rather than the psychological drama the book favors.
The 2011 production features Sam Riley, best known for his portrayal of Ian Curtis in the Joy Division-biopic Control,...

United Kingdom, 2010
No stranger to adaptations, Graham Greene has seen nearly 20 of his novels take their turn on the big-screen. Some (The End of the Affair in 1955, 1969, and 1999 and A Gun for Hire in 1961, 1972, and 1991) have turned up multiple times. The latest, Brighton Rock, directed by Rowan Joffe who is more famous for his screenplays (The American, 28 Weeks Later) than his behind-the-camera skills marks the second time that the gangster-tale of Pinkie Brown gets the cinematic treatment.
In 1947 Richard Attenborough played the lead role with particular menace in a production headed by John Boulting. The shadowy noir remained faithful to the plot of the Greene novel, but removed much of the deeper religious complexities, settling for above-average genre film rather than the psychological drama the book favors.
The 2011 production features Sam Riley, best known for his portrayal of Ian Curtis in the Joy Division-biopic Control,...

I was saddened to learn this morning that Betty Garrett, the great star of stage, screen, and TV, passed away yesterday at the age of 94 after suffering an aortic aneurysm.
Garrett was one of those rare people — like, say, Jack Valenti — who happened to be a witness to and/or participant in a remarkably high number of historic events of the 20th century. She was a member of Orson Welles’s famed Mercury Theatre company, and was with him on the night that he shook up America with his infamous radio broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” (1938); she was Frank Sinatra’s leading lady in two of the earliest great M-g-m musical-comedies, “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” (1949) and “On the Town” (1949); her career was greatly hurt by the Hollywood Red Scare after her husband, the Oscar nominated actor Larry Parks, refused to name names before the House Committee...

Yo! Fares Fares (yes that's his name, I kidd you not) a Swedish film actor with Syriac origin (according to Wikipedia) has been cast as bad ass Emile Vargas in Denzel Washington's Safe House. In the 2010 Black Listed script by David Guggenheim, Emile Vargas is described as Ex-Paramilitary. Gun for hire. Hard body. Not particularly large -- just lethal. He was definitely one of my favorite bad guys in the script. Even goes mano a mano with Denzel. Who in el carajo is Fares Fares? Well, he worked with Daniel Espinosa in his breakout film Snabba Cash. It's all good but I got a bone to pick. Are we back to the Cliff Curtis school of casting where Arab looking dudes bag Latino roles? Remember when Curtis played Pablo Escobar in Blow and cornball cholo Smiley in Training Day? You mean to tell me that with all the Latin actors in L.

Coward was glib, Gilbert was boring and Hammerstein was obsessed with birds . . . Master of musicals Stephen Sondheim gives his verdict on his fellow songwriters
Oscar Hammerstein
Despite the fact that Oscar Hammerstein II taught me virtually everything I know about lyric writing, I feel obligated to list some of my quibbles with his work, poking fun along the way. A lot of songwriters fill in empty spaces in the music with reiteration, but there's a fervent lack of surprise in Hammerstein's thoughts, made manifest by his need to spell things out with plodding insistence, as in You've Got To Be Carefully Taught from South Pacific: "You've got to be taught before it's too late,/ Before you are six or seven or eight," which always makes me want to ask, "What about five or nine or 13?"
Hammerstein sometimes gets carried away by "pretty" words and images instead of accurate ones. In A Cock-Eyed Optimist,...
