Watch Charlize Theron Become Enraged in Young Adult Red Band Spot

Charlize Theron said recently that she took a four-year break from acting to work with her production company, so it’s interesting to consider what about Young Adult (besides the Oscar-friendly duo of Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody) would drag her back into the craft. Here’s an idea: She gets to be profane, uncompromising, and really, really pissed off. In this red-band spot for the new film (out December 9), Theron loses her shit with Elizabeth Reaser, who plays her ex-beau’s (Patrick Wilson) new wife. Yikes. She’s quite not Mommie Dearest livid, but Theron’s character Mavis is a snide, warped version of Faye Dunaway’s famous nutjob here — not to mention entitled, condescending, and superficial. Young Adult could really be called “The Modern Asshole Lady.” Tthankfully it’s not, so that title can now go to the awesome new Conde Nast publication I’m planning. On this month’s cover: The Millionaire Matchmaker’s Patti Stanger and the 101 Best Aristocratic Grimaces of 2011! Hot Trailer: Red Band Spot for ‘Young Adult’

Finland steams up box office

HELSINKI -- Overlooked in the past couple of years as Swedish and Danish crime thrillers have been storming the world's book stores and screens, Finnish film may be poised for its own international breakthrough.Out is the dour, taciturn image of yesterday -- saunas, suicide and mosquito slapping contests washed down with gallons of vodka. In are characters that aim to make women swoon even as they play to men with a mix of humor and darkly cynical genre tropes.An example is "Vares Private Eye," which features well-known Scandi character actor Antti Reini as Jussi Vares, a tough guy with a weakness for beer and women.Based on a series of bestselling Finnish detective stories by Reijo Maki, Helsinki-based Solar Films' slate of six 90-minute feature films is off to a flying start on home turf. The first three films, all released this year, occupy three of the top four spots at the Finnish box office, with "Vares -- pahan suudelma," directed by Anders Engstrom, taking in more than 200,000 admissions.The final three Vares films, all shot in 2010 in about 120 days for approximately 5.5 million ($7.6 million) are on tap for 2012, with one directed by Engstrom, and the other two by Lauri Torhonen. Depending on the local appetite for the pics, another six to 12 are on tap from Solar for 2013.But crime isn't the only genre on the Finnish horizon. Nazis-on-the-moon sci-fi spoof "Iron Sky" is set to hit screens in April, with an online fan base that ponied up nearly a tenth of the film's $10 million budget, as well as a board game and a series of comicbook prequels helping to stoke buzz.Meanwhile, Ilkka Matila of Matila Rohr Prods. -- whose resume spans European and Russian co-productions including Fedor Bondarchuk's Afghan war drama "9th Company" -- also has a couple of Nordic films on his slate: "Priest of Evil," based on Matti Yrjana Joensuu's series of police thrillers; and "Body of Water," a thriller that revolves around a terrifying secret. The "Priest of Evil" book has been translated into more than eight languages worldwide including English, while "Body of Water" was featured during the Finnish Film Gala Night at Helsinki's Love & Anarchy film festival in September.Markus Selin, founder and owner of Solar Films, has high hopes for the screen adaptations, but says Finns need to build a better Stateside network to help achieve an international breakthrough."It will happen -- in a year or 10 years. It needs a few films where the directors get hired in Hollywood," he says. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

Muppets Unscripted: Miss Piggy, Kermit, Jason Segel and Amy Adams Talk Fashion, Films and Fozzie Bear

Underwhelmed by the Empire Magazine 'Dark Knight Rises' covers featuring Bane and Batman? Fear not! The magazine also has an exclusive interview with Christopher Nolan, where the notoriously spoiler-conscious director reveals a bit of plot information that is sure to pique the interest of fanboys near and far. Spoilers ahead! "It's really all about finishing Batman and Bruce Wayne's story," Nolan told Empire. "We left him in a very precarious place. Perhaps surprisingly for some people, our story picks up quite a bit later, eight years after 'The Dark Knight.' So he's an older Bruce Wayne; he's not in a great state." That's right, y'all: Future Batman! The time jump -- beyond being cool -- will also likely help the narrative structure. After all, 'The Dark Knight' ended with Batman on the run and The Joker captured. By starting nearly a decade after, many difficult to untangle knots -- like immediately dealing with the real-life death of Heath Ledger and the absence of The Joker -- will be mostly inconsequential to the story.

The Ambassador ((Ambassadoren))

'The Ambassador'A Zentropa Real Aps presentation, in colaboration with New Danish Screen, in co-production with Film i Huge, Zentropa Intl. Sweden. (Worldwide sales: Trust Nordisk, Copenhagen.) Produced by Peter Engel, Carsten Holst. Executive producers, Peter Aalbaek Jensen, Peter Garde. Co-producers, Petri Rossi, Peter p Maegd, Madeleine Ekman. Directed by Mads Brugger. Script, Maja Jul Larsen, Brugger.With: Mads Brugger, Avoi Jakobsen, Colin Evans, Varney Sherman, Dalkia Gilbert, Albert, Bernard, Paul. (British, French, Danish, Sango dialogue)Shot mainly on hidden cameras, troubling docu "The Ambassador" tracks Danish helmer Mads Brugger ("The Red-colored-colored Chapel") around the semicomic, semiserious pursuit to reveal how easy it's to fake a title to have the ability to bribe government bodies and smuggle blood stream diamonds from central Africa. Thinking about that Brugger works in submitting corruption that will surprise nobody, questions remain about what much much deeper points the pic is trying to create, because the representation in the residents teeters round the side of racism. However, if auds aren't troubled by such issues, "The Ambassador" should make diplomatic missions to assist fests and TV shops. Getting shaved his mind, donned a costly suit, and adopted "Mads Cortzen" as his alias, Brugger can get lower to business inside the opening minutes by settling with restless Liverpuddlian Colin Evans, shot without Evans' awareness. Evans signifies a company that effectively sells diplomatic sexual and status to people prone to work in nations like the Central African Republic (Vehicle), where blood stream diamonds could be bought -- the biz Brugger hints to Evans he wants to find yourself in. Before extended, Brugger/Cortzen is possessing a Liberian diplomatic passport, despite the fact that papers that guarantee full diplomatic status remain tantalizingly unobtainable through the pic, despite numerous phone calls to fixers and money bribes moved with the amusingly titled "the the envelopes of happiness." Brugger produces shop in CAR's capital, Bangui, and proceeds to oil the wheels of commerce with further the the envelopes, particularly to government apparatchik Dalkia Gilbert, who easily also runs a gem mine. Needing an appliance cover story to explain his presence in Vehicle, Brugger pretends being creating a match factory employing pygmies, which sooner or later occasions a "pygmy party" inside a native village. Two stoical, poker-faced pygmies, known only as Albert and Bernard, are used as his assistants, and lastly Brugger claims those are the main residents he feels they can trust, specially when it starts to look like his translator, Paul, is at cahoots with Gilbert. It soon becomes apparent that in this postcolonial economy, nearly everyone would be to scam everyone else. It's with this point the pic seems being edging into politically incorrect territory as, Albert and Bernard aside, virtually every African is represented as buffoonish, venal or both, although being fair, all the Males and ladies appear much like morally reprehensible, otherwise a lot more. Ultimately, auds can start to question what novel information exactly remains uncovered with this particular journey into what's, to describe Brugger, Africa's spleen of darkness. Nonetheless, Brugger guarantees it's a fairly entertaining trip, specially when he starts to relish participating in character since the dubious white-colored guy in Africa. Jaunty tunes within the 19 thirties, '40s and '50s supply the montages some bounce, adding a layer of cynical irony that's thrown into elevated relief by periodic moments of real menace and outright danger. Considering the majority of the footage was shot on hidden small-DV cameras, lensing looks good round the bigscreen, and editing by Carsten Sosted, Kimmo Taavila and Leif Axel Kjeldsen keeps the narrative flowing easily.Camera (color, HD), Johan Stahl Winthereik editor, Carsten Sosted, Kimmo Taavila, Leif Axel Kjeldsen music, Niclas Schak, Container Soheili appear, Stahl Winthereik appear designers, Hendes Kock, Andreas Kongsgaard Mogensen supervisory appear editor, Jum Korsgaard line producer, Charlotte now now Vinther connect producer, Jonas Bagger.
