publicists guild noms revealedBy Gregg KildayThe Smurfs and Transformers: Dark of the Moon aren’t ex-pected to be among the best picture nominees when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announces its nominations on Tuesday, but the publicists behind the two blockbusters will get their due at the Publi-cists 49th annual Awards Luncheon, set for Feb. 24 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

The publicists, represented by Local 600 of the Inter-national Cinematographers Guild, have announced their nominees for the Maxwell Weinberg Publi-cists Showmanship Award, and the contenders in the film category are the union publicists who worked on Universal’s Bridesmaids, Warner’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, DreamWorks/Disney’s The Help, Fox’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Sony’s Smurfs and Paramount’s Dark of the Moon.

Nominees for the TV showmanship award are the union publicists who worked on Starz’s Boss, CBS Tele-vision Studios’ The Good Wife, Fox Tele vision’s Mod-ern Family, CBS TV Studios’ Ringer, Warner Television’s Shameless and Warner TV’s Two and a Half Men.

“It’s important that we recognize the contribution that publicists make towards the success of movies and television shows at a time the industry honors the work of most other industry pro-

fessionals,” awards commit- tee chairman Henri Bollin-ger said in announcing the nominees along with guild president Steven Poster.

Previously announced honorees, who will be rec-ognized at the luncheon are: David Stapf, president of CBS Television Studios, Television Showman of the

Year; David Heyman, pro-ducer of the Harry Potter franchise, Motion Pic-ture Showman of the Year;

and Carol Burnett, Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Publicists Directory and Resource Guide will be dedicated to Disney pub-licist Arlene Ludwig and presented to her by Julie Andrews and Jodie Foster. Australian talk show host Rove McManus will host the ceremony.

swords leads asian Film award nominationsBy Karen ChuHONg KONg — Director Tsui Hark’s 3D extravaganza The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate topped the Sixth Asian Film Awards nominations on Wednesday with seven, closely followed by Warriors of the Rainbow: Seediq Bale by Taiwan’s Wei Te-sheng and The Flowers of War by China’s Zhang Yimou with six noms each.

Fresh off its best foreign- language film win at the Golden Globes, Iran’s A Sep-

aration received mentions in five categories, while Peter Chan’s Wu Xia earned four nominations in the technical categories.

Organized by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society, the awards will name winners in 14 competition categories and hand out three special awards on March 19, including the Edward Yang New Talent Award, the award for 2011’s top-grossing asian film and a lifetime achievement award to director Ann Hui, whose leads in her latest film, A Simple Life — Deanie Ip and Andy Lau — are nominated in the best actress and actor categories.

The nominees show a marked geographical diver-sity this year — 32 films from 11 regions — and not any particular dominance from any one country.

But box-office clout rules: Flying Swords grossed over ¥500 million ($79 million) in China, the two-parter Seediq Bale over NT$880 million ($29 million) to become the second-highest grossing local film in Taiwan; and

both leads, Michelle Chen and Ko Chen-tung, of sur- prise Taiwanese monster hit You Are the Apple of My Eye, are nominated in the best actress and best newcomer categories, respectively.

“A good film would cer-tainly find its audience,” HKIFFS chairman Wilfred Wong told The Hollywood Reporter. “This year, the films proved that quality appeals to the audience.”

Hundreds of films were screened by a seven-member steering committee to deter-mine the nominations. “2011 has been an excellent year for Asian films,” Wong said. “The quality of work pro-duced over the past year has made it an exceedingly difficult task to select the nominations that have made it to our final short-lists. The films were too many and too good — it was very difficult to choose.”

“It’s an interesting list with a good mix — there are films big and small,” said Singaporean director Eric Khoo, who will lead a twelve-member jury as

president to decide on the winners. “There are also surprising box-office suc-cesses, such as You Are the Apple of My Eye, which became the second-highest grossing film in Singapore

last year. The film shows that Taiwan is defi-nitely a region coming out with a golden-age period. The Taiwan

government is pumping money into the film indus-try, which happened also in Korea. Government incen-tive to help local produc-tions all over Asia is slowly progressing.”

Some might hope that the Asian film industry would rival Hollywood, but Wong believes that there remains much to be improved: “The ecosystem of Asian cinema needs improvement — in the distribution, exhibition, and production sides. We have to learn from the Hollywood experience to make AFA the Oscar of Asia.”

int’l 3d society to Fete scorseseBy Carolyn GiardinaMartin Scorsese will receive the Harold Lloyd Award, the International 3D Society’s highest film-maker honor for artistic and technical achievement in 3D, during the society’s Creative Arts Awards ceremony on Feb. 1 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

“Marty Scorsese has em-bodied Harold Lloyd’s vision and passion for captivating movie fans around the world for his entire career,” said Suzanne Lloyd, Lloyd’s granddaughter and chair-man of Harold Lloyd Enter-tainment, who will make the presentation. “With Hugo he has shared his love of filmmaking and film-makers, in 3D, which would also have thrilled Harold.”

“For all of us involved in the 3D creative process, Mr. Scorsese’s contribution this year with Hugo is an artistic achievement we all

celebrate,” said Dream-Works Animation’s Jim Mainard, chairman of the society.

The Harold Lloyd Award was established by the 3D Society and the Lloyd family. “Mr. Lloyd was a lifelong advocate for 3D movies, although technology never allowed him to realize his dream,” said Jim Chabin, president of the society. “But in joining last year’s recipient, James Cameron, Mr. Scorsese has not only realized that dream, but he has produced a work of art.”

Lloyd’s great, great grand-daughter, actress Jackie Lloyd, will assist presenters onstage at this year’s honors.

By Lacey RoseRyan Seacrest is getting his own TV network after all.

The multi-hyphenate, along with partners AEG and talent agency CAA, have struck a deal with billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban to rebrand Cuban’s HDNet as AXS TV (pronounced Access) begin-ning this summer.

The channel’s program-ming will rely heavily on lifestyle and live entertain-ment fare, leveraging the music assets of AEG — a top venue owner and tour promoter — and the A-list connections and production capabilities of Seacrest. As part of the rebrand, the network will cater to pop-culture and entertainment enthusiasts rather than the younger, heavily male demographic that HDNet historically has targeted. Cuban will continue to lead the channel on behalf of the venture, with Denver-based Philip Garvin still involved as G.M. of network operations.

Though the parties in-volved will not comment on financial terms of the deal, one source told The Holly-wood Reporter that the ven-ture between Cuban and the others is “virtually” a 50-50 partnership. Seacrest is a stakeholder in the venture, with no plans to contribute as an on-air personality.

The news comes more than

a year after THR first re-ported that Seacrest, CAA and AEG were trying to launch what was then de-scribed as a “music, pop cul- ture and lifestyle oriented”

cable network. Several months later, the group was in talks to take over VH1 Soul, a little-watched spin-off of MTV

Networks’ VH1 channel. According to AEG chief

executive Tim Leiweke, who along with Dish chief Joe Clayton and Cuban sat down with THR on Wednesday at AEG’s L.A. Live venue, the Viacom-owned VH1 Soul was one of many distribu-tion platforms considered over the past three years. Also debated was a plan to start a channel from scratch, an option the team found particularly challenging in today’s increasingly crowded landscape.

Among the benefits of re- branding HDNet as opposed to launching from scratch: The network instantly will be in more than 35 million homes, maintaining its exist-ing distributors, including DirecTV, Comcast, Verizon, AT&T, Charter and Dish. But to hear Leiweke tell it, the venture with Cuban got the distributors invested in a way that earlier plans had not.

“I’m not saying that the distribution community was

hostile when we’d come walk-ing in the door saying we had an idea, but we were one of many people walking in the door and there was not a lot that captured their atten-

tion and made them want to deal with us and think about a partnership that would give us a big-ger footprint,”

Leiweke acknowledged. “This one was different, and the fact that we’re sitting here having a conversation about a vision with a dis-tribution partner [in Dish] right off the bat is why this is unique.”

As part of the arrange-ment, Dish announced it would expand its carriage of the rebranded HDNet, mak-ing it part of America’s Top 120 programming package, as well as offer a wide selec-tion of AXS-branded VOD concerts and ticketing oppor- tunities, beginning March 15. By Aug. 1, Dish and the net- work will launch AXS Head-liner Club, an online audition site for musicians looking to perform at an AEG-affiliated venue.

Still, even with distribution, it’s not certain viewers will show up. One need only look at Oprah Winfrey’s low-rated OWN, a rebrand of Discovery Health, for a cautionary tale. But if Cuban has any fears heading into the venture,

he isn’t letting on. “HDNet was profitable coming into this deal, and we think we’ll be even more profitable and be able to invest even more in the business because of the great partnerships we have and the great leverage that all the access AEG and Ryan bring to the table,” he said in an interview.

Lieweke agreed, adding that many of the assets — from the brick-and-mortar infrastructure to the content — are already in place. “We have about $4 billion worth of assets [including Staples Center and The 02 in Lon-don] we’ve handed over to Mark,” he said. “To give him a playground like L.A. Live, it’s an existing investment we’ve already made and one which now we don’t have to recreate but he can take ad-vantage of,” he noted, add-ing, “Same on content: We spend literally over $1 billion a year on content through AEG Live, so our ability to tap into that is huge.”

CAA, which represents Seacrest, is described as a “partner” in AXS, but the talent agency declined to specify whether it is invest-ing money in the venture, saying only that it will access its relationships in sports and entertainment and provide strategic advi-sory services. The network is vowing to work with all content creators, not just CAA clients.

From a programming per-spective, the rebranding will mean big changes for the decade-old HDNet network.

“There’s a big core of peo-ple who think the Internet is

going to take over the world, and I don’t happen to be one of them,” Cuban told THR. “I think the future of TV is TV. The Internet will be there and do its thing, but one of the big differen-tiators is ‘live.’ If you look at what’s happen-ing across the TV spectrum, there’s news and there’s sports.”

Programming plans are in the early stages, but the team plans to launch a live news show, loosely described as a SportsCenter equivalent for the pop-culture arena. Cuban suggested this is the kind of fare that can — and in time, will — air several hours a day, every day.

Also included in the re-branded network’s plans are exclusive, behind-the-scenes access to live concerts and music festivals, red-carpet premieres, award shows, parties, events and in-depth interviews. While scripted and unscripted series fare will likely fill swaths of the schedule at first, Cuban’s

plan is to move as much of the schedule as possible to live fare.

Cuban said that some of HDNet’s current program- ming, including Dan Rather Reports, HDNet Fights, Inside MMA and the net-work’s Sunday concert series, will remain. Inside MMA will likely move its studio to L.A. Live, while Rather’s show will be tweaked so that it airs live more often. Cuban said he has no plans for Rather to alter his show with more of an entertainment focus. “I’m going to let Dan do his thing,” he said of a show he calls his “guilty pleasure.” HDNet’s edgier, more male-focused fare such as Girls Gone Wild programming will go away.

Seacrest’s shingle, Ryan Seacrest Productions, will have a production commit-ment with the new venture. To be sure, it will not pre-clude his first-look deal with NBCUniversal, which now airs his Kardashian unscripted series offerings. What’s more, his conver- sations about re-upping with NBCUniversal are

ongoing, with sources not-ing that a new deal could include such things as Today appearances, Olympics coverage and Barbara Walters-esque specials as well as an expanded first-look deal for RSP. Ryan Seacrest Media, a holding company separate from RSP, is the investor in AXS.

In an interview with THR last spring, Seacrest insisted that whatever deal he and his partners at CAA and AEG struck, it would “not be the Ryan Seacrest Channel … it will not be branded with my name or my face. My role would be to hope to provide content for them, but primarily it would be an owner ship role.” All involved confirmed Wednesday that Seacrest has no plans to have an on-air role, nor does he envision having another venue for Kardashian fare.

ll cool J tapped as grammy HostBy Erin CarlsonThe grammy Awards has announced its first host in seven years: LL Cool J.

“I’m thrilled to be part of music’s biggest night,” the rapper-actor and two-time Grammy winner said Wednesday in a statement. “I will always have fond

memories of my first Grammy Awards and to now be hosting the Grammy show, in the company

of so many other incredible artists, is a dream come true. Great performances and great music — it’s going to be a great night.”

Queen Latifah was the show’s last host, back in 2005. LL Cool J, who stars on CBS prodecural NCIS: Los Angeles, has hosted the event’s nominations concert show since 2008.

The telecast for the 54th annual Grammys, set for Feb. 12 on CBS, will be broadcast live from Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The show’s performers were announced last week and include nominees Tay-lor Swift, Foo Fighters, Kelly Clarkson, Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars. thr

By Alex Ben BlockThe Directors guild of Amer-ica, the Teamsters and sev-eral other Hollywood guilds on Wednesday reiterated their support for the SOPA and PIPA legislation to com-bat piracy of intellectual content by foreign websites.

In a passionate letter to Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer, both Democrats representing New York state, the guilds praised the two Senators for their support despite efforts by “a few enor-mous Internet companies like Google” to di-vert “support away from the bills by blan-keting the Internet with mistruths, lies and using fear tactics and blacklists to over-whelm and intimidate those who should stand up for pro-tecting American creativity and American workers.”

“We are greatly offended that our advocacy for this bill has turned into an impli-cation that we promote cen- sorship,” said the letter. “Our commitment to the First Amendment is decades old and long established — it is a matter of public record from long before the word ‘Inter-net’ was part of our vocabu-lary. Freedom of expression

is the very foundation of the work our members create and of the business in which they work. Moreover, steal-ing is not free speech. We are equally as offended at the implication that we are part of an ‘industry of the past’ standing in the way of the innovation of the future. Our members work at the very intersection of creativ-ity and technology; what the public sees on the screen today is ample evidence of that. Technology companies do not have the only claim to innovation and for them to claim so is absurd.”

The letter was sent on the same day a number of websites went dark to pro-test the proposed laws and Google published its opposi-tion on its home page.

The letter implied that the real reason Google and others oppose the legislation is financial: “We are well aware that opposition voices, funded and encouraged by a few enormous Internet com-panies like Google that stand to lose billions in illicit profit (as shown by Google’s will-ingness to pay a $500 million fine for knowingly placing ads on illegal pharmaceu-tical sites), if the bills are allowed to become law, have grown louder and shriller in an effort to sway public opin-ion and derail the political process. They have success-fully diverted support away from the bills by blanketing

the Internet with mistruths and lies and using fear tactics and blacklists to overwhelm and intimidate those who should stand up for protect-ing American creativity and American workers. In some instances they have even kept our voice off the Inter-net in an effort to stall any who don’t agree with them.”

The guilds say those who see the proposed law as a way to stop innovation or the growth of the Internet are wrong: “The PROTECT IP Act does nothing more than make it possible for the U.S. government to handle illegal foreign websites in the same manner it can already do —and has been doing — with illegal U.S. sites. It has no impact on all the legal U.S. sites that people are being told will disappear under the PROTECT IP Act, nor will it keep American citi-zens from the Internet they know and depend on.”

The letter was sent by the American Federation of Musicians (AFM); Ameri-can Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA); Directors Guild of America (DGA); International Alli-ance of Theatrical Stage Employees, Moving Picture Technicians, Artists and Allied Crafts of the United States, Its Territories and Canada (IATSE); Interna-tional Brotherhood of Team-sters (IBT); and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG).

news corp. close to settlement oF Hacking suits By Georg SzalaiNeW YORK — News Interna-tional, the U.K. newspaper arm of Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp., is expected to announce set-tlements today in many of the phone-hacking cases brought against the conglomer-ate, lawyers for the victims told Reuters on Wednesday.

The company has been working on settling cases ahead of a pre-trial hearing set for today in front of a judge who is scheduled to start hearing test cases next month. Reuters said News Corp. is close to set-tlements, with many of the deals expected to be announced shortly, subject to the approval of the judge.

Financial details weren’t immediately clear.

News Corp.’s Class A stock on Wednesday hit a 52-week high of $19.42 before closing up 1.4 percent at $19.28. The stock recently managed to rise above its summer high before the renewed phone hacking controversy.

A spokeswoman for News International declined to comment, Reuters said. A News Corp. spokeswoman in New York also declined to comment.

News International is facing more than 60 phone hacking claims, Reuters said citing police.

movie reviewPage 7 of 8January 19, 2012

tHe greyBy John DeForeLate is better than never with The Grey, a man’s-man of a genre pic that will satisfy the action crowd while remind-ing more discerning viewers what they saw in director Joe Carnahan’s decade-old breakthrough, Narc.

However Liam Neeson’s admirers feel about the dis-appearance of Kinsey-grade fare from his filmography, the film may be the best of his lowbrow outings, cast-ing him convincingly as a broken man getting one last chance to prove his mettle. Neeson plays a sharpshooter among brutes, hired to kill wolves that threaten the oil-company employees — “men unfit for mankind,” he calls them in a nicely mood-setting voiceover — populating a re-mote Alaskan outpost.

On the verge of suicide himself, Neeson must rally when a transport plane crashes, leaving him and a half-dozen other men stranded somewhere in the wilderness. Scenes of post-crash triage deftly establish him as a man of deeper re-

sources than his peers: As he coaches a dying man through his final moments, speaking with calm author-ity, Neeson and the film- makers ground the movie — promising that none of the deaths to come will be treated lightly, however pulp-flavored the script’s perils may be.

Testosterone rages among the survivors, particularly from a violence-prone ex-con (Frank Grillo), but the film makes that energy serve the story instead of behaving (a la Carnahan’s Smokin’ Aces) as if macho posturing were the whole point. Skirmishes over what to do intensify once it’s clear that a nasty pack of wolves are pursuing the men, killing them terri-torially instead of for food, and Neeson argues they must leave the plane to seek shelter above the treeline.

Some viewers will find the pic’s slog through snow and pines longer than necessary, but Carnahan and co-screen- writer Ian Mackenzie Jeffers make the most of the time, wringing as much meaning as they can out of every test of courage and campfire bull session. Expected man-versus- wild, man-versus-absent-God themes ring more true than usual here, though not at the expense of the promised scares: Plenty of chase scenes and gory encounters keep tension high.

Dermot Mulroney and Dallas Robert fill out sup-porting roles ably, lending character-actor color to the ensemble without threaten - ing the pack’s Alpha. Occa-sional grace notes (partic-ularly with regard to sound editing) exhibit a subtlety un- expected from a filmmaker

who just gave us The A-Team, and even the pic’s final stand-off, while pandering to the more hotheaded members of the audience, manages to squeeze off one last shot of adrenaline without insulting more skeptical viewers.

Opens: Jan. 27 (Open Road Films). Production: Scott Free, Chambara Pictures. Cast: Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, Dallas Roberts, James Badge Dale, Joe Anderson, Nonso Anozie.
