New year, new movies, new trends, new expectations. 2015 saw us cry, laugh, dance and snooze like any other but we tried new things, we pushed our boundaries and we set new goals. 2016 in B-town is set to explode on the silver screen with bigger and hopefully better entertainment. So without further ado, Bollyspice brings you the most anticipated films of 2016.

There has been an insane amount of discussion online about Bryce Dallas Howard’s character Claire Dearing since the release of Jurassic World (2015, costume designer: Daniel Orlandi), mostly concerning the ‘running in heels’ sequences. I felt it would be interesting to take a broader look at the costumes of the female leads in both Jurassic Park (1993, costume designer April Ferry) and Jurassic World and contrast in the characters.
Dr Ellie Sattler the Paleobotanist as played by Laura Dern in the original movie is a hugely underrated feminist action hero. She is allowed to be clever, brave, practical and physical yet display ‘feminine’ traits at the same time, such as fear, compassion and a nurturing nature. These are characteristics infrequently seen together in Hollywood blockbuster movies. For the bulk of the film, she wears one practical outfit: chino shorts and a baggy salmon-coloured shirt knotted at the waist with a blue high necked vest-top underneath.

This fall the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present the final showing of the groundbreaking multimedia exhibition Hollywood Costume in the historic Wilshire May Company building, the future location of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. Organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (V&A), this ticketed exhibition explores the central role of costume design – from the glamorous to the very subtle – as an essential tool of cinematic storytelling.
The Academy is enhancing the V&A’s exhibition and will include more than 145 costumes from over 60 lenders. The Academy’s presentation will add more than 30 costumes to this landmark show, including Jared Leto’s costume from Dallas Buyers Club (Kurt and Burt, 2013) – a recent acquisition to the Academy’s collection – as well as costumes from such recent releases as The Hunger Games (Judianna Makovsky, 2012), Django Unchained (Sharen Davis,...

"12 Years a Slave" picked up its first (and only other) guild win since tying for the PGA prize Saturday night, taking out fellow Oscar nominees "The Great Gatsby" and "American Hustle" in the period category (indeed, the only category with Any Oscar nominees.) Elsewhere, "The Hunger Games" again took the fantasy prize for sequel "Catching Fire," while "Blue Jasmine" won in the contemporary arena. "Behind the Candelabra," "Downton Abbey" and "House of Cards" won throughout the TV categories. As Guy pointed out in his breakdown of the Best Costume Design Oscar race Friday, the Costume Designers Guild isn't necessarily a perfect barometer for how the Academy will vote on the discipline. Over the ceremony's 14-year history, the winners have overlapped eight times; so just over half. But that's better than BAFTA (though granted the guild has more shots on goal every year with three separate categories). So will Oscar voters...

Her
This is a good article. Will Joaquin Phoenix wearing high waisted trousers in Her bring about a return of the look on the high street? We really hope so. Low and skinny is as dead as disco. Acutally disco is still awesome, but you get our point.
The Butler
Huge analysis and discussion of The Butler from simply wonderful costume designer Ruth E. Carter.
Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D
We tried to watch this show but it made us feel old. That said the costumes by Ann Foley look spiffy. Read Tyranny of Style’s interview (with illustrations and inspiration board) to discover more.
Batman vs. Superman
Michael Wilkinson feels “honoured and tremendously excited to be involved”. They’re lucky to have him.
Prisoners and Out of the Furnace
Kristin Burke gives a costume critique of the two Pennsylvania based films.

In issue 214 of Total Film magazine, we chat with the new RoboCop himself, aka The Killing's Joel Kinnaman. Inside the issue - which is available for just £1.99 on your iPad, Kinnaman reveals that stepping into the shoes (and armour) of former RoboCop Peter Weller was even more difficult than we'd imagined. “It was very uncomfortable," the Swedish-American star says of RoboCop's new body armour, designed by Oscar-nominated costume designer April Ferry. "I'm not wearing much under the suit... you feel naked. Also, when the cameras weren't...

In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined planet. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the crime and poverty that is now rampant throughout the land. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium’s Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

Apart from bringing in acclaimed cinematographer, Karl Walter Lindenlaub (Independence Day, The Jackal, Maid in Manhattan, The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian), the filmmaker has brought on board many other renowned names. Joining them as co-producer and line producer is Dileep Singh Rathore who has two decades of experience, having handled movies such as City of Joy and Blood Diamond.

Produced by Dr.Bhupendra Kumar Modi and directed by Gowariker, Buddha tells the journey of Gautam Buddha right from when he was known as Prince Siddhartha to his moment of enlightenment when he became Buddha. While the hunt for the actor who will play the lead role is still on, it's quite interesting to note that the film will primarily have an all-international crew except production designer Nitin Chandrakant Desai who has worked with Gowariker on most of his films. Some of the international crew members are:. David S.

For those of you who have seen "The Box" trailer (opening November 6th!) -- or seen a television spot – you might notice that Mr. Langella does not look like his normal handsome self in this film.
That’s because we removed half of his face using state-of-the-art CGI.

Edinburgh International Film Festival
EDINBURGH, Scotland -- A poet, a warrior and their two lovers form a complicated quartet in John Maybury's "The Edge of Love", a story of wartime romance in which fidelity and trust are put to the strictest test. It opened the Edinburgh International Film Festival.
The poet is extraordinary Welshman Dylan Thomas, played with echoes of the young Richard Burton by Matthew Rhys, but the film's literary appeal is made broader because of excellent playing by Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller as the main women in his life. Capturing superbly the claustrophobic atmosphere of London in the Blitz during World War II and measuring the irreconcilable differences between love and war and poetry and combat, the film succeeds as a deeply involving study of men and women caught up in a whirlwind beyond their control.
It will take careful marketing for the film to find its audience, but the big names involved, the ongoing fascination with Thomas and excellent music supplied by veteran Angelo Badalamenti all serve it well.
Sharman Macdonald's astute screenplay swiftly sets up the dynamic between the foursome. Thomas is a sweet, gifted man who can be a right bastard. As the film starts, he is writing propaganda films as a conscientious objector. In a London pub, he runs into his childhood sweetheart, Vera (Knightley), who is a talented singer reduced to performances in London Underground stations while the Nazi bombs fall.
To Vera's dismay, Thomas has a cheerfully unfaithful wife, Caitlin (Miller), but the two fast become friends and turn into a threesome. That relationship is disturbed, however, when soldier William Killick (Cillian Murphy) falls in love with Vera and sets out to woo her. The film follows their story as Killick is sent off to battle and Vera becomes pregnant. When the warrior returns much changed, there is a seismic shift that affects all of them.
Maybury draws terrific performances from his cast. Rhys (ABC's "Brothers & Sisters") reads Thomas' poetry wonderfully and plays the Welsh icon with warts and all. Murphy also brings poetry to the role of the warrior.
But the film belongs to the women, with Knightley going from strength to strength (and showing she can sing!) and Miller again proving that she has everything it takes to be a major movie star.

And a child's fantasy taking place in the middle of war-torn Spain caught the eye of the designers, who awarded Lala Huete the award for excellence in fantasy film for Picturehouse's "Pan's Labyrinth".

Deep into Richard Kelly's miasmic 160-minute fantasy Southland Tales, an actor who used to call himself The Rock places a gun at his temple and says, "I could pull the trigger right now and this whole nightmare will be over," and every impulse screams: "Do it!"
It comes too late, however, as the will to live is lost in the first reel when ex-Rock Dwayne Johnson, playing a $20-million-a-film movie star, tells of an infant that has not had a bowel movement in six days and warns that a thermonuclear baby fart could blow up the world.
Written and directed by Richard Kelly and employing most of the creative team of his 2001 film Donnie Darko, the picture was conceived in tandem with three graphic novels that tell the story leading up to the end-of-the-world scenario depicted in Southland Tales.
The film strives to rank alongside such classics as Brazil and Blade Runner but falls more into the category of "Mars Attacks!" and 1941, and boxoffice potential will rely on very tolerant young audiences.
Kelly, cinematographer Steven Poster, production designer Alexander Hammond and costumer April Ferry succeed in putting some impressive images on the screen as the city of Los Angeles sees its final days. But the English term "shambolic" best describes a slow-paced, bloated and self-indulgent picture that combines science fiction, sophomoric humor and grisly violence soaked in a music-video sensibility.
The opening sequence shows a nuclear mushroom cloud bursting over Abilene, Texas, but the after-effects aren't too bad because by 2008, the Venice natives in Los Angeles remain pretty much as they've always been.
A new fuel called "fluid karma," using hydroelectric power drawn from the ocean, promises to save the future, though scientists, corporations, the Pentagon and big government inevitably start to fight over it.
Several factions want in on the action, including a Marxist group, a porn actress bent on blackmail and assorted gun-toting freaks. Somewhere at the heart of things is the movie star who has written a screenplay detailing a geological phenomenon that he imagined but turns out to be actually happening. It has something to do with a breach in the space/time continuum, the usual stuff.
There's also a police officer who exists in two forms (both played by Seann William Scott), and it becomes important that the two incarnations meet. Or don't meet, something like that. Not that it matters. Sequences exist for themselves, and few would be missed, though one or two are quite entertaining. Justin Timberlake, who doesn't have much to do as some kind of soldier, features in a bizarre dance number to the fabulous Killers track All These Things That I've Done that has MTV rotation written all over it.
Familiar faces including John Larroquette, Jon Lovitz, Miranda Richardson and unbilled Janeane Garofalo pop up here and there to no great effect. Wallace Shawn and Zelda Rubinstein are on hand, as you would expect, as mad scientists.
Scott, Johnson and Sarah Michelle Gellar, as the porn star, do their best with the lame material, but it's uphill work. There was more fun and greater character development in Starship Troopers.

It comes too late, however, as the will to live is lost in the first reel when ex-Rock Dwayne Johnson, playing a $20-million-a-film movie star, tells of an infant that has not had a bowel movement in six days and warns that a thermonuclear baby fart could blow up the world.
Written and directed by Richard Kelly and employing most of the creative team of his 2001 film Donnie Darko, the picture was conceived in tandem with three graphic novels that tell the story leading up to the end-of-the-world scenario depicted in Southland Tales.
The film strives to rank alongside such classics as Brazil and Blade Runner but falls more into the category of "Mars Attacks!" and 1941, and boxoffice potential will rely on very tolerant young audiences.
Kelly, cinematographer Steven Poster, production designer Alexander Hammond and costumer April Ferry succeed in putting some impressive images on the screen as the city of Los Angeles sees its final days.

As relationships go, they don't get much more mundane or artificial than those found in "Boys and Girls".
A talky, forced romantic comedy that attempts to retool a "When Harry Met Sally ..." take on sex and friendship for the college crowd, the picture shows few signs of life, despite the efforts of its energetic cast.
And though the presence of Freddie Prinze Jr. and Jason
Biggs could initially draw young females, you know Miramax is sweating it when one of the funniest bits in the trailer involving
Biggs and a quartet of Victoria Secret's models is actually a closing credits outtake.
Prinze is Ryan, a compulsive, repressed engineering student who meets up with the impulsive, direct Jennifer Claire Forlani) in college after a couple of previous antagonistic encounters.
They certainly make for an unlikely pair. Ryan, who plans everything to within an inch of its life, likes building intricate bridges in his spare time. Free-spirited Latin major Jennifer squirms at the mere concept of commitment. When they cross paths at UC Berkeley, they're involved with other people, but you know they're destined to be together -- mainly because the movie wants them to be, rather than there being any palpable spark between them.
While writing partners Andrew Lowery and Andrew Miller, a k a the Drews (Dennis Rodman's "Simon Sez"), obviously intended to deliver a hip dissertation on contemporary mating rituals, the game plays out more like Parcheesi than Twister. The story is continually covering the same old ground.
Although the leads try mightily, they're unable to scrape all of the bogus cut-and-paste dialogue off the page and make it sound authentic. Biggs and Amanda Detmer fare better as Ryan and Jennifer's respective roommates, injecting welcome comic energy into the drudgery.
Director Robert Iscove, who worked with Prinze on the successful "She's All That", matter-of-factly choreographs blocks of scenes as if he were governed by invisible commercial breaks.
In fact, there's a prevailing small-screen feel to the whole enterprise, despite worthy contributions from veteran cinematographer Ralf Bode ("Coal Miner's Daughter", "Saturday Night Fever") and costume designer April Ferry ("Maverick", "The Big Chill"). The soundtrack attempts to pick up the considerable slack by spinning proven hits (Apollo Four Forty's "Stop the Rock") and the obligatory Diane Warren ballad ("If I Don't Tell You Now").
