If There Were A Denial Mt. Rushmore the two biggest heads would be S. Fred Singer and Frederick Seitz. Dishonesty’s Lincoln, lying’s Washington. Together, the two graybeard prophets launched a movement.
Frederick Seitz’s slab would be the larger and more solemn. Most decorated scientist ever to slip over to the dark side, the non-truth side. With just about the grandest possible resume entry: former President of the National Academy of Sciences.

Exclusive: Fortitude International has optioned two female-driven properties from recently hatched curation platform TaleFlick: historical fiction Madame Presidentess and essay collection Starfish On Thursday. Both center on strong women going up against overwhelming adversity. The company is eyeing feature adaptations of each.
Madame Presidentess depicts the real life of Victoria Woodhull, the first woman who dared to run for President of the United States in 1872 but was virtually written out of the history books. It hails from award-winning author Nicole Evelina whose other books include Daughter Of Destiny, Camelot’s Queen, Been Searching For You and The Once And Future Queen: Guinevere In Arthurian Legend.
Starfish is the true story of a Seattle girl growing up in the 70s and 80s while dealing with an abusive, pill-popping mother. Author Amie Ryan, whose essay collections examine American culture, had a viral hit with The Seattle No in 2013. Her other books include...

Even five years ago, it would have been hard to imagine Jason Segel, the Muppet-loving, butt-baring star of modern comedy classics like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” and “Knocked Up” as some kind of Sundance darling, but that’s exactly how the actor found his unexpected second act.
When Segel was picked to star as the lauded and immensely troubled late author David Foster Wallace in James Ponsoldt’s “The End of the Tour,” the filmmaker’s decision to cast the lovably goofy “This is 40” and “How I Met Your Mother” star was met with plenty of skepticism. Segel, however, dove deeply into preparing for the role, listening to the recordings of journalist David Lipsky (played by Jesse Eisenberg in the 2015 drama) and watching clips of Foster online to get a sense of the writer’s presence. He even started his own book club to read and discuss Foster’s “Infinite Jest.

Netflix has now added the theatrical cut, noted for its voice-over and different ending, to their streaming services. While it’s general consensus that this one isn’t the best cut, if you...

Far be it from me to disagree with our staff, but I would hard-pressed to name 30 films from 2015 that I would consider among the “best” of the year.
The same can’t be said for film music, though. As predictable as each superhero template or franchise reboot may have been this year, composers keep finding new ways to reinvent the sounds of the cinema. Not to mention that the ever-widening landscape of VOD and streaming service-produced projects has increased the room with which artists can flex their musical chops.
2015 was an embarrassment of movie score riches. In indie horror gem Bone Tomahawk, Jeff Herriott & S. Craig Zahler inject hope and despair into a bleak, cannibal-stricken Wild West, where feeling anything is better than the unflinching mortality facing its characters. Patrick Doyle’s warmhearted Cinderella continued Disney’s tradition of attaching amazing scores to frivolous live-action do-overs, while on the other end of the spectrum,...

The Independent Spirit Awards recently announced their list of nominees and, if past years are any indication, they likely include at least one or two future Oscar winners.
Leading this year’s Spirit Awards is director Todd Haynes’ lesbian romantic drama set in 1950’s New York, Carol, which earned six nominations including best director for Haynes, best adapted screenplay for Phyllis Nagy, and acting noms for stars Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
Last year, four of the five major winners at the Spirits ended up with Oscars, as Julianne Moore (Still Alice, lead), Patricia Arquette (Boyhood, supporting), J.K. Simmons, and Birdman (best picture) all went on to win in their respective categories with the Academy.
2014, however, was a bit of an anomaly in terms of the Spirits decisions coinciding with the Academy’s. Yet, one category that remains a strong predicting factor for Oscar speculators is screenplay,...

Anyway you look at it, it.s been a fantastic year for cinema. Mad Max: Fury Road, Mission: Impossible -- Rogue Nation, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and even Furious 7 made sure that audiences going to see blockbusters were constantly enthralled, while Inside Out, The Hateful Eight, and Sicario proved that there was still room for originality too. There are always some films that slip through the cracks, and this year was no exception. Here are ten that you might have missed out on. If you didn.t, well done. If you did, go them seen immediately, each and every one of them is fantastic for a variety of different reasons.

With last week’s announcements of the nominees for both the SAG Awards and the Golden Globes, a number of high-profile performances did not make it on the list. But fear not, snubbed actors, as you may still have a shot at Oscar come February.
Here’s a look at those actors who weren’t recognized by SAG and the Globes but are still in the hunt:
Michael Caine, 82, plays a retired orchestra conductor on vacation with his director best friend (Harvey Keitel) in the Swiss Alps in Youth. The film earned a best supporting actress nomination for co-star Jane Fonda, but Caine himself has not been honored with any nods for his performance. Caine would look for a best actor nomination.
Tom Courtenay, 78, plays a husband who, on the night of his 45th wedding anniversary, receives an unexpected letter that could change his life in the drama 45 Years.

There are a number of films that sit on the Oscar bubble this season with strong possibilities at either original or adapted screenplay nominations. Many of these films, however, are not serious threats in any other category, which is not that rare for films in this century.
Generally, films that receive a nomination for their screenplay are often nominated in at least one other category, and, often, for one of the night’s major awards, such as best picture or director. One of this year’s indie darlings, Ex Machina, the sci-fi thriller from writer/director Alex Garland, was a big winner this past Sunday at the British Independent Film Awards. The film took home the best film, best director and best screenplay awards, yet the likelihood of an Oscar nomination in either the best pic or best director category is not high, as the...

"The real struggle is trying to make sure you understand everything you're saying to the point that it feels like it is your own thought. There is some really intelligent conversation happening. Some thoughts on first read are beyond me," admits Jason Segel during our recent webcam chat (watch below or click here) about his role as David Foster Wallace in "The End of the Tour." Segel portrays the verbose author who is interviewed over a five-day period in 1996 by Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg). -Break- Related: Complete list of 2015 Independent Spirit Awards nominations Lipsky was sent by the magazine to interview Wallace in Illinois about his groundbreaking best-selling novel Infinite Jest.

Earlier this year, a small indie film about a young Irish immigrant’s journey to America in the 1950’s made headlines at the Sundance Film Festival when distributor Fox Searchlight picked it up for $9 million. The deal was one of the biggest in festival history, falling just short of 2006’s $10 million purchase of best picture-nonminated comedy Little Miss Sunshine.
Brooklyn, the film in question starring 21-year-old Irish actress Saoirse Ronan, may prove to be worth the investment by Fox Searchlight, a distributor that boasts the previous two best picture winners with 2014’s Birdman and 2013’s 12 Years a Slave. The film received a great reception at its official Academy screening on Nov. 8 and is quickly becoming a best picture frontrunner.
Traditionally, however, films coming from Sundance have had trouble with the big award due to their small scope and budgets that limit the amount of campaigning a film can support.

Actor Jason Segel made his name in the field of comedy. On “Freaks And Geeks” and as part of the funny Judd Apatow alumni, Segel cut his teeth with an amiable brand of vulnerability that manifested into sweet comedies he wrote and starred in like “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” “Get Him To The Greek” (which he doesn’t appear in, but is based on his characters) and “Five Year Engagement.” The success of those films also allowed Segel to convince Disney to hand him the keys to “The Muppets” franchise and he wrote and starred in the earnest titular 2011 film which relaunched that dormant brand. Now 35 years old, Segel is at a different place in his life and wants to try and broaden his horizons. As if right on cue, the opportunity to shift gears came to the actor at the exact opportune moment: director James Ponsoldt (“The Spectacular Now”) asked...

"I'm not so sure you want to be me." It was an opportunity I couldn't pass - the chance to interview Jason Segel. He stars as the late author David Foster Wallace in one of my favorite films this year, The End of the Tour directed by James Ponsoldt. The film is about the actual end of his (book) tour, specifically the time David Foster Wallace spends with fellow writer/journalist David Lipsky, played in the film by Jesse Eisenberg. The two meet in winter and discuss all kinds of topics, and it's really a beautiful film about life and honesty, and still being real even though you may be brilliant, as with Dfw. Segel gives a phenomenal, Oscar-worthy performance as David Foster Wallace - and I don't bat an eye saying that. I had to meet him. I first saw The End of the Tour at its Sundance premiere this past January.

Ain’t Them Bodies Saints (David Lowery)
Ain’t Them Bodies Saints is a particular kind of film, one that was probably never destined to find a wide audience. While the basic story, about a jailed robber escaping prison to return to the love of his life and their child, may sound like a fairly rote plot, the earnestness and poeticism of the film could drive people away.

To salute the incoming arrival of American Ultra, we salute some underrated treats from Jesse Eisenberg's back catalogue...
When Jesse Eisenberg was announced as Lex Luthor in Batman Vs Superman: Dawn Of Justice, it made instant sense. Not because he was bald, not because he looks like or Gene Hackman or anything, but just because he’s one of those actors whose screen presence is so perfectly formed. You know exactly what they’re going for with their Luthor, just by Eisenberg’s name. It’s Mark Zuckerberg vs Superman, the supergod vs the awkward genius.
But that’s not the only big action movie he’s got coming up. First he’s going to be in American Ultra, a unique stoner/sci-fi mash-up where he stars alongside Kristen Stewart (it's released in the UK on September 4th). Eisenberg first really burst into our consciousness in 2009 and 2010, where...

I’m glad to have finally seen End of the Tour, and as it is still playing in theaters nationwide, I feel impelled to recommend it. It’s never too late to catch up with a film this special and satisfying. James Ponsoldt, who won me over with The Spectacular Now, adds another feather to his cap with his treatment of this challenging two-character piece, scripted by Donald Margulies. And I won’t soon forget the penetrating performances of Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg. Eisenberg plays David Lipsky, a writer who—upon hearing news of the suicide of David Foster Wallace in 2008—digs out the audiocassettes of his conversations with the author. With that, we flash back twelve years to the...

Film makers wishing to explore the life of celebrated individuals can often be thwarted by the lack of material, particularly when said individual is a most private person who did not make themselves easily accessible. And often those closest, be they family or long-time friends “circle the wagons” around this potential cinematic subject. This may have been a big problem for the people behind this new film, a look at the all-too brief life of celebrated, but very private, writer David Foster Wallace. Fortunately access was granted via David Lipsky and his best seller “Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself”. But as you’ll see, this film is not the standard movie bio, not a “rags to riches”, birth to stardom tale. It’s the story of the friendship between the two Daves, struck up in just a few short days, specifically at The End Of The Tour.

The interview, which lasted five days, turned Wallace into a literary celebrity. The End of the Tour tells the story of the time the two spent together during the five-day period.

Opening in St. Louis on Friday, August 21st, Wamg is giving away Run-Of-Engagement passes to The End Of The Tour.
The End Of The Tour tells the story of the five-day interview between Rolling Stone reporter and novelist David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) and acclaimed novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel), which took place right after the 1996 publication of Wallace’s groundbreaking epic novel, “Infinite Jest.”
As the days go on, a tenuous yet intense relationship seems to develop between journalist and subject. The two men bob and weave around each other, sharing laughs and also possibly revealing hidden frailties – but it’s never clear how truthful they are being with each other. Ironically, the interview was never published, and five days of audiotapes were packed away in Lipsky’s closet. The two men did not meet again.

In an exclusive video clip, “The End of the Tour” director James Ponsoldt and screenwriter Donald Margulies discuss the origin of the movie that is based on the relationship between late David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky as the latter accompanied the author on a book tour. The clip features Ponsoldt and Margulies as they discuss how they came to collaborate on the project. According to Margulies, Ponsoldt was one of his playwright students at Yale University: “A memorable student, obviously.” When Ponsoldt received an email regarding the screenplay, he read it over night and responded to Margulies.

Chicago – Jason Segel is a real mensch. The tall and angular actor is open, active and caring about his career, and he fulfills another part of his performance evolution in director James Ponsoldt’s “The End of the Tour.” Segel portrays author David Foster Wallace, when he appeared on behalf of his 1996 novel “Infinite Jest.”
“The End of the Tour” focuses on four days in the life of Wallace, as a Rolling Stone magazine reporter named David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) follows Wallace around as he makes one last stop on his book tour for “Infinite Jest.” It’s basically about the two men as they interact, jousting upon the issues in the book, Wallace’s choices in his modest lifestyle and how some encounters on the tour in Minnesota add another dynamic to their relationship.

Read More: David Foster Wallace Cheat Sheet: 7 Things You Need to Know Before Seeing 'The End of the Tour' In an exclusive featurette, acclaimed musician and composer Danny Elfman, whose credits include countless Tim Burton films and indies such as "Silver Linings Playbook," describes his process for scoring James Ponsoldt's "The End of the Tour." The film documents Rolling Stone writer David Lipsky's (Jesse Eisenberg) interview with David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel) during the end of his press tour for "Infinite Jest." Highlights from the video include Elfman's awareness of the tension between the two writers, his desire to convey the persistent unease in the music, and the way in which he found the heart and soul of the score in one subdued scene. "The End of the Tour" is in theaters now. Check out the video above. Read More: James Ponsoldt on Why 'The End of the Tour...

Read More: James Ponsoldt on Why 'The End of the Tour' Is Not a David Foster Wallace Biopic David Foster Wallace is not the sort of role that an actor takes lightly. When Jason Segel (known primarily as the self-effacing funnyman who starred in Apatow joints "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "I Love You, Man" as well as happily married Marshall on ubersitcom "How I Met Your Mother") signed on to portray the celebrated writer in James Ponsoldt’s "The End Of The Tour," he exercised due diligence. The result was a performance of unanticipated nuance and power, uncannily replicating the Wallace preserved in interview clips and writing samples while also unearthing hidden depths of personality that only a premise this intimate could afford. Jesse Eisenberg joins Segel as small-time novelist David Lipsky, sent by Rolling Stone to cover the tail end of Wallace’s book tour in support of "Infinite Jest.

The tour in The End of the Tour is David Foster Wallace’s 1996 multicity promotion for his epic novel Infinite Jest, a fractured portrait of a manic culture and the biting loneliness at its heart. The movie, directed by James Ponsoldt from a script by the playwright Donald Margulies, depicts what happens when Wallace (Jason Segel) becomes a cog in the machine he’s attempting to deconstruct. He’s seen through the eyes of the writer David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg), who tags along to the last city, Minneapolis, for a Rolling Stone profile. Lipsky has just published his own novel to resounding crickets, and he oscillates between jealousy of Wallace’s sudden celebrity and a desire to live vicariously through it — to know what it’s like to be a literary sensation. Wallace, meanwhile, is visibly uncomfortable with his stardom, partly because he doesn’t want to be seen as...

"The End of the Tour" opens as David Lipsky hears about the death of David Foster Wallace, unearths the audiotapes he used to record an earlier interview with Wallace and puts fresh batteries into his Sony Tape Recorder (the same model I still own). The journalism rings true, as do the debates between two wily writers. Jesse Eisenberg plays the alert and slightly envious novelist Lipsky opposite lanky Jason Segel as Wallace, who was uncomfortable with all the kudos he was getting for his postmodern novel "Infinite Jest." Lipsky told me at Sundance that he was relieved at the time that he didn't have to write the feature, as other things came up and pushed it aside. Segel says the movie is like the trajectory of a relationship as they first meet, start to know each other, get comfortable, then intimate, then angry, and break up. They never met again.

I was not a David Foster Wallace disciple before walking into James Ponsoldt's The End of the Tour. In fact, I hadn't read a word he'd written and was only aware of his status as an acclaimed writer and his tragic suicide in 2008. Perhaps this is the best way to approach this film, without any measure of preconception or idea as to the icon at its core, or questioning whether Jason Segel is worthy of portraying him, considering he's largely known for his comically goofy roles in the likes of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Muppets. Even further, I didn't know until after seeing the film that Foster Wallace's estate, family and publisher all disavowed the film sight unseen. While I can't speak to the veracity of the story being told (though it's only obvious liberties were taken, this is a movie after all), or whether it's an accurate portrayal of Dfw,...

What’s particularly disappointing about some of the latter-day Woody Allen comedies is the filmmaker’s recent inability to capture effectively how smart people talk to each other. In his earlier classics, Allen had a gift for human-sounding dialogue even between the most pompous and pretentious of academics, but in movies like “Irrational Man,” his characters sound like they’re spewing computer-generated sentences that happen to include occasional references to Schopenhauer. Listening to two smart guys talk to each other is among the principal pleasures of “The End of the Tour,” based on writer and journalist David Lipsky’s multiple-day interview with author David.

In their new movie The End of the Tour, Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg play two writers— acclaimed author David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky — who in 1996 conducted a marathon five-day interview while Wallace finished promoting his beloved novel, Infinite Jest.
Befitting their roles, Segel and Eisenberg sat down for Rolling Stone for an exclusive, wide-ranging conversation that covered everything from embarrassing summer camp stories (Segal recalls singing all of Les Misérables' "Castle on a Cloud" in a falsetto) to tombstone sizes and what constitutes leading a fulfilling life.

One of the breakout hits of the Sundance Film Festival, The End Of The Tour begins hitting theaters Friday, and as I say in my video review (click the link above), it is a literate and rewarding look at something that — on the surface at least — would not seem very cinematic. Based on a bestselling book by Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky, the movie recounts the five-day 1996 interview session Lipsky conducted with acclaimed author David Foster Wallace, whose massive…...

"It’s the big question of a movie of this size —will people care if they don’t care about David Foster Wallace?" Jason Segel recently told RogerEbert.com. "It’s not a cradle to grave biopic. It’s just these four days. What it really rests on is creating this character tension between two guys. Between [screenwriter] Donald Margulies curating the actual interview into a narrative and [director] James Ponsoldt creating tension out of active listening. It’s really hard to do."

It would be easy for reporter David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) to feel intellectually cowed by the novelist David Foster Wallace (Jason Segel) during the five days Lispky spent interviewing him for Rolling Stone — a long encounter that forms the basis for James Ponsoldt's new film The End of the Tour, out this Friday in limited release. After all, when the two men met up in the mid-1990s, Wallace had just published the incredibly acclaimed Infinite Jest, which established him as one of literature's most important figures. And yet, as you'll see in this exclusive scene, even Wallace wasn't immune to the most pervasive pop culture of his day, and when Lipsky notices a poster for Alanis Morissette on his wall, he's curious what Wallace could possibly see in the alt-rock chanteuse. Press play, and let Wallace make the case himself.

Read More: 'The End of the Tour' Sundance Reviews: Jason Segel Impresses as David Foster Wallace With the release of James Ponsoldt's acclaimed "The End of the Tour" this weekend, star Jason Segel joins the ranks of popular comedians who have successfully transitioned to powerful dramatic roles. Following iconic author David Foster Wallace as he's joined by Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky (Jesse Eisenberg) on the last few days of his "Infinite Jest" book tour, the indie has earned Segal the best reviews of his career for effortlessly sinking into Wallace's conflicted shoes. Currently on a press tour of his own touting the release of the upcoming drama, Segel joined Rolling Stone's David Fear at 92Y in New York City to discuss the challenges and liberation of playing one of the most influential literary figures of the 20th century. As Fear made note of in his introduction,...

There has to be some irony in the fact I missed a key opportunity to ask Jesse Eisenberg about a very incendiary comment while interviewing him about a movie where he plays a journalist who scored a rare interview with one of the greatest authors of the 20th Century. It may not fully fall under the definition of irony, but it certainly deserves some sort of shake of the head. Eisenberg and Jason Segel were in Los Angeles on July 14 to discuss their roles in the critically acclaimed drama “The End of the Tour.” Directed by James Ponsoldt (“The Spectacular Now”), “Tour” chronicles the five days Rolling Stone magazine writer David Lipsky (Eisenberg) spent interviewing the usually press-shy David Foster Wallace (Segel) following the release of his 1996 novel “Infinite Jest.” The movie debuted last January at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival and both actors received strong marks (HitFix’s Dan Fienberg...

Recreating a special moment in time can be difficult. Capturing what’s supposed to be a five-day conversation between two artists/writers secondhand (thirdhand, even) is even tougher. James Ponsoldt’s “The End Of The Tour” — a film about a Rolling Stone journalist shadowing author David Foster Wallace for a profile piece on the renowned writer — doesn’t look like much of a movie on paper. In fact, it feels like a play. At first, the picture doesn’t seem like it has enough compelling reasons to justify its existence. But as it begins to open up and build a head full of steam, “The End Of The Tour” becomes an incredibly winning and engaging portrait of friendship, lasting connection, and mutual understanding. In what is easily a career-best performance, Jason Segel plays the conflicted, bandana-wearing genius Wallace and Jesse Eisenberg portrays David Lipsky, the Rolling Stone writer who pitched...

The Admiration Game: Ponsoldt’s Moving Homage to Artist and Artistry
Following the critical successes of 2012’s Smashed and 2013’s The Spectacular Now, director James Ponsoldt recreates a defining moment in time between acclaimed author David Foster Wallace and Rolling Stones’ journalist David Lipsky with The End of the Tour, based on the memoirs of the latter. Beginning with Lipsky learning of Wallace’s suicide in 2008, we backtrack twelve years to 1996, after the publication of the author’s famed novel, Infinite Jest, which inspired the journalist, a novelist himself, to vie for an interview with the enigmatic personality. Framed as an unforgettable memory, Ponsoldt captures what feels like a sincere elegy from Lipsky to Wallace, a road trip that lasted five days and ran a gamut of intellectual, emotional, and philosophical highs and lows pertaining to the meaning of fame, success, and what it means to be an artist. Carried magnificently by its two leads,...

“From early on, R.E.M. and Brian Eno were a band and a musician that sort of factored into the time that David Lipsky and David Foster Wallace spent together,” director James Ponsoldt told ComingSoon recently. “And they had conversations about what they listened to.

Actors hate doing press, it's just a fact and it's one that holds true to almost all of them. Some can't hide their utter disdain though and will occasionally say something they'll probably regret later.
Case in point is Jesse Eisenberg who is out doing promotion for "The End of the Tour" and, in a new interview with Yahoo following his appearance at the Warner Bros. Pictures panel at Comic Con, told the outlet he was not a fan of the experience:
"It is like being screamed at by thousands of people. I don't know what the experience is throughout history, probably some kind of genocide. I can't think of anything that's equivalent."

Normally, I'm not one to brag, but I would like to say right off the bat, I think I did pretty well with my must-see list last month. Of my five official picks -- Spy, Jurassic World, Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, Dope and Inside Out -- the closest I got to suggesting you see a movie people generally didn't like was Jurassic World, which has broken all sorts of box office records and sits at a "fresh" 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. Not that box office results or Rotten Tomatoes are the ultimate barometers of quality, but I have to base this off something, rightc Personally I didn't much care for the new Jurassic film aside from a few scenes of enormous spectacle, but others found plenty to like in it. I also ended up seeing Dope twice -- that one might be my favorite movie so far this...
