Movie buzz: Speak of the 'Devil' / Sounds of Spector
THE MOVIE "The Devil in the White City"
THE DEAL DiCaprio will star in and produce the adaptation of Erik Larson's bestseller about two men who turned the 1893 Chicago World's Fair into their playground, according to The Hollywood Reporter. DiCaprio will play one of the pair, H.H. Holmes, a serial killer masquerading as a charming doctor who is believed to be responsible for scores of murders around the time of the fair.
THE MOVIE "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Phil Spector"
THE DEAL Vikram Jayanti's documentary is built around a lengthy, pre-verdict interview with the girl-group producer whose "wall of sound" aesthetic still reverberates. Spector never admits to shooting B-movie actress Lana Clarkson in 2003, but he does offer some unvarnished thoughts on his career and musical rivals such as Brian Wilson. Next week's screening features guest speakers Tom Ryan and Heidy Morales Ryan of "American Hit Radio" on WHPC/90.3 FM.
INFO Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. at Cinema Arts Centre, 423 Park Ave., Huntington. Tickets are $13. 800-838-3006; cinemaartscentre.org.
THE MOVIE "Now"
THE DEAL Alex who? He's the next "It" boy, or so the media tell us, and he's joined the upcoming sci-fi film "Now," according to Deadline.com. Written and directed by Andrew Niccol ("Gattaca"), the movie was formerly titled "I'm.Mortal," and it takes place in a world where aging can be stopped. The youthful cast includes Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde and Matthew Bomer (star of the USA show "White Collar"). Pettyfer also will star in another sci-fi film, next year's "I Am Number Four," based on a young-adult novel co-written by the not-quite-honest memoirist James Frey.
