Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation wins every film category but two at the annual Australian awards ceremony.
The big budget Us-financed jazz age extravaganza The Great Gatsby won every film category but two at the annual Aacta (Australian Academy of Cinema and Television) Awards this evening Australian time in Sydney.
This included the best film gong, which goes to Australian producers Baz Luhrmann, Catherine Martin and Catherine Knapman and their Us counterparts Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher.
Luhrmann also scored best director and, with his high school friend and regular collaborator Craig Pearce, best adapted screenplay.
The only award The Great Gatsby could have won but didn’t was for best actress: that instead went to Rose Byrne for her small part — all the actors had small roles overall — in the bold anthology film The Turning, adapted from a book of short stories by popular novelist Tim Winton.
The Rocket, a festival hit made on a shoestring budget...

If the 3rd annual Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards could be categorised as a David vs Goliath battle between The Rocket and The Great Gatsby, Goliath is the hands-down winner.
Baz Luhrmann.s opulent romantic drama won six awards tonight, for best film, director, adapted screenplay, lead actor Leonardo DiCaprio, supporting actor Joel Edgerton and supporting actress Elizabeth Debicki.
That.s in addition to the six awards in craft categories plus the Aacta award for outstanding achievement in visual effects bestowed on Luhrmann.s film on Tuesday.
Kim Mordaunt's The Rocket, which had 12 nominations versus 14 for Gatsby, had to be content with just one trophy, for Mordaunt.s original screenplay.
The outcome is likely to reignite the debate about the near-impossibility of comparing a lavishly-mounted 3D film financed by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures, which cost $160 million, with an independently-funded Lao-set film from a first-time director budgeted at about $2 million.

Red Obsession, the first documentary made by Australian filmmakers Warwick Ross and David Roach, is narrated by Russell Crowe. “That voice of Maximus lingered with me,” Ross says, which is why he tapped the Oscar winner for the film, about Bordeaux wine and its unlikely China connection. Born in Hong Kong, Ross always had a “fascination with China,” but beyond that he is both a scripted filmmaker and a winemaker, neither of which ultimately had much to do with his documentary. “We started off making a film about wine but it became something else; that political and economic

Ticket sales at Australian cinemas last weekend slumped to their lowest level of 2013 as none of the new entrants proved to be appealing and most of the holdovers struggled.
The 93 films currently in release collectively raked in a measly $7.6 million, down 14% on the previous weekend.
After bombing in the Us, the mediocre debut of Roland Emmerich's White House Down was no surprise. The action thriller starring Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum grabbed $1.8 million, the only title to crack $1 million-plus.
Aussie director Robert Luketic's corporate espionage thriller Paranoia fetched a miserable $144,000 on the heels of its Us demise, despite the high-profile cast led by Harrison Ford, Liam Hemsworth, Gary Oldman and Richard Dreyfuss.
Action comedy Red 2 tumbled by 43% to $824,000 in its second assignment, propelling its total to a ho-hum $2.8 million.
The Steve Jobs biopic Jobs declined by 42% to $330,000 after an unimpressive opening, bringing its total to $1.1 million.

Economics by the Glass: French Elixir Battles China’s Thirst on Unfair Ground
Part informative introduction to the exclusive world of fine wine and part horror tale about China’s voracious venture to take over every single industry known to man and narrated by Russell Crowe, David Roach and Warwick Ross’ engrossing documentary Red Obsession deals with much more than just the pleasure of sipping fermented grape elixir at $50, 000 a bottle. On the contrary, the implications that this product has on global markets and economies are, to say the least, revelatory.
Bordeaux’s legendary chateaux have distilled the best wines in the world for centuries, their privileged geography and terrain have placed them at the top of their craft. Their product is the object of desire for millions of consumers across the globe, but also the best investment for billionaires and businessmen who don’t need to appreciate the taste...

Sly, sometimes funny documentary version of Bottle Shock, with China playing the role of 1970s Napa as it creeps up to smack the snooty Old World wine snobs. I’m “biast” (pro): mmm, wine…

Oooo, I wish I’d had a glass of wine to go with this! Red Obsession — Australian documentarians David Roach and Warwick Ross — starts out all very much tourist-board-y tour of the Bordeaux countryside, complete with the sun dappling through grapevines and narrator Russell Crowe telling us about how the Romans first planted grapes here and handsome chateaux operators swooning with French accents about the soul of the fruit. And then it gets even better, and morphs into a sly, sometimes funny version of Bottle Shock, except with China playing the role of Napa Valley in the 1970s as it...

As such things go, the clash of civilizations between the patrician French winemakers of Bordeaux and the upstart investors of 21st century China is hardly of the apocalyptic Samuel P. Huntington variety. A less sophisticated analog might be 1980's Caddyshack, though you wouldn't necessarily refer to these newly minted Chinese billionaires—like Peter Tseng, owner of a $50,000 bottle of Château Latour—as "slobs." (Tseng did make his fortune on sex toys, so it's arguable.) Directors Warwick Ross and David Roach (with narration supplied by an especially gravelly Russell Crowe) chart this brief love affair between wealthy Chinese eager to catch up on all the post-Communist fun and the French vintners desperate for buyers after the 2008 economic crisis caused their ...

Red Obsession co-director and co-writer David Roach says he made the documentary on power, passion and the Bordeaux fine wine industry as much for people like himself- a non-wine buff- as for those who love the stuff.
Judging by the opening weekend take of $92,000 at 18 cinemas last weekend, the docu is appealing to both segments of the audience.
That.s a solid number which Roach believes will help create a platform for DVD and TV sales and Video-on-Demand platforms.
Roach, who co-directed and co-wrote the film with the producer Warwick Ross, said the first weekend total is .better than we expected,. noting that it.s .always risky when you open a documentary on the big screen..
The filmmaker is full of praise for distributor Roadshow Films, stating, .They have given us the screens we wanted - the best art house cinemas in each capital city- and have been very supportive.

Bursting a bubble with Robert De Niro, how a trailer lead to Francis Ford Coppola, shooting in Bordeaux, ending up in China - in our conversation we learn from the astute filmmaking team David Roach and Warwick Ross what Red Obsession is all about. Their film, narrated by Russell Crowe, uncorks the craze taking place in Shanghai of buying wine as an investment and investigates the impact it has on the centuries-old vineyards of Bordeaux, the people who own them, and consumers worldwide.
By chance, the directors and I met on Earth Day and they suggested we rename it Terroir Day in honor of our talk. I started out with the distinct flavor of their documentary.
Anne-Katrin Titze: Red Obsession sets a different mood from other wine films, visually and especially by your choice of music. You start with I Put a Spell On You and end with Fever....

Tribeca Film Festival's Artistic Director Frédéric Boyer and I met up for a conversation at MoMA PS1 during Michelangelo Frammartino's World Premiere of the breathtaking 28 minute continuous cinematic installation Alberi in the Vw Dome. This is Boyer's second year at Tribeca, after running the Directors’ Fortnight program at the Cannes Film Festival. We discussed how to bring nature into an urban setting through films like Bruno Barreto's Reaching For The Moon, Reha Erdem's Jîn, Whitewash, directed by Emanuel Hoss-Desmarais, Hisham Zaman's Before Snowfall, and Red Obsession, directed by David Roach and Warwick Ross.

Did you hear that popping sound? That was me uncorking a bottle of red wine, which happens often enough at my house. But unlike a lot of wine enthusiasts out there, I.m not the most particular person when it comes to the region where the grapes were harvested. Blasphemy! It doesn.t take much education, however, to know that wines that come from the Bordeaux vineyards in France are some of the most cherished in the world, and are the subject of Red Obsession, a documentary from first time directors David Roach and Warwick Ross. Not even a tasting was necessary for distribution company FilmBuff to snatch up the rights, according to Variety. The film is making its premiere on April 20 at this year.s Tribeca Film Festival, and Red Obsession is the first acquisition, even though it technically happened before the festival began.

Here are a few interesting and/or noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of development titles:
The Night Stalker – Many people might not remember Darin McGavin's as Kolchak in the short-lived '70s supernatural crime series (even fewer might recall Stuart Townsend's turn in the much shorter-lived remake). But, Johnny Depp must've been a fan. He's developing a feature adaptation of the show with Disney and his Infinitum Nihil.
Jamaica – Seth Rogen and his Superbad super-partner Evan Goldberg are backing Jonathan Levine's comedy about a teenager who travels to the Caribbean with his grandmother.
We Froze the First Man – Oscar winner Errol Morris has tapped Paul Rudd to star in his Mad Men-era, non-docu dramedy about the early days of cryogenics. Stranger Than Fiction scribe Zach Helm wrote the screenplay, which was inspired by a Robert F. Nelson's memoir "We Froze the First Man" and an segment from NPR's "This American Life".
Fly Me to the Moon – Diane Kruger and Danny Boon star in this French production directed by Pascal Chaumeil. The romcom centers on a happily-engaged woman with a plan to break her family curse where every first marriage ends in divorce.
Banjo & Matilda –Bruce Beresford (Driving Miss Daisy) directs this Australian drama written by Young Einstein co-writer David Roach (whatever happened to Yahoo Serious?) . The film follows a city poet and journalist who travels to the edge of the outback in order to track down a political agitator.

Beneath Hill 60 Directed by: Jeremy Sims Written by: David Roach Starring: Brendan Cowell, Gyton Grantley, Aden Young Produced from the diary of an Australian miner Captain Oliver Woodward, with liberties taken by the screenwriter and co-producer, David Roach (who offered a post-screening Q & A), Beneath Hill 60 tells the story of a underground, secret war that was fought beneath no man's land during World War I. This film offered an objective story, never posing either side as the enemy, and stuck to the necessities to tell Woodward's story. Director Jeremy Sims leads this Australian production into a deeply enjoyable portrayal of this lesser-known aspect of a brutal war. Oliver Woodward (Brendan Cowell) leaves Australia during World War I due to their need for miners with underground explosive expertise. His team, the Australian Tunneling Company, is instructed to blow up the strategic Hill 60 knowing full well that the Germans were...

Remember that one year (2001) when the list-happy AFI (American Film Institute) decided to compete with the Globes and the Oscars in year end prizes? No, that didn't last long. But there's another AFI, The Australian Film Institute, that has been around for a long time and is in no such danger of being a one-off. This year, they're all about the amazing family crime drama Animal Kingdom which they awarded with a record breaking 18 nominations. Sure, the film is in danger of being way overhyped for people who are coming to it late (which is just about everyone given the sorry state of international distribution for dramas of virtually any kind) but for those who can slough off the "omg" raves, I guarantee you'll think it at least an insinuating and well executed crime drama.
