Harold Livingston, an American novelist who wrote the screenplay for “Star Trek: The Motion Picture” in 1979, died early Thursday morning, Bobby Livingston confirmed to Variety. He was 97.
“Star Trek: The Motion Picture” was Livingston’s most famous writing credit, and he also wrote for several TV shows, including “Mission: Impossible,” “The Six Million Dollar Man” and more.
“Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry and sci-fi author Alan Dean Foster, who penned several “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” novels, also contributed to the story and script development alongside Livingston. The 1979 film was the first movie in the “Star Trek” franchise, and it starred the original TV series cast members, including William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan, George Takei, Majel Barrett, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, Persis Khambatta and Stephen Collins.
The film was successful at the box office, earning 139 million worldwide from a 44 million budget, and Paramount ordered a follow-up, “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan...

The critical consensus about Howard Hawks' themes and talents strikes me as bang on. The Cahiers critics identified him as a classic auteur, continually exploring characters and situations he had an affinity for, and in a consistent style. The surprise is it took so long for style and characters to come together to form the Hawks we know: his best early films are outliers, and only gradually did he come to explore the kind of group dynamics, sexual sparring and codes of professionalism with which he's now justly associated.Early 1930s Hawks just isn't quite all there yet, but you can see lots of Hawksian characters and themes struggling to come together and be their ideal selves.This one has Edward G. Robinson as a "Portagee" fisherman with a Chico Marx accent and an earring. For some reason, Hawks didn't really connect effectively with the urban tough guy actors until Bogart came his way,...

For a while there, it looked like Mel Gibson's career was over. But people tend to forget about their outrage after a little time has passed, and Gibson is starring in a new thriller called Blood Father and is directing a new film called Hacksaw Ridge. Now the filmmaker has yet another project on the horizon: a TV show called The Barbary Coast.
Indiewire reports that Gibson will co-write, executive produce, and direct the series, and he'll play a recurring role in it alongside Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson. (Russell has been romantic partners with Hudson's mother, Goldie Hawn, since 1983, so while he's not technically her step-dad because he and Goldie aren't married, it's still cool to see this mini-family reunion.) The show is based on Herbert Asbury's novel of the same name, which centers on the California gold rush of 1849 and the influx of criminals, thieves, gamblers,...

Has Hollywood forgiven Mel Gibson? If some doors still remain closed to the actor and filmmaker following his meltdown, a lot more are opening. Later this summer, Gibson leads the lean B-movie "Blood Father" (okay, it's currently only set to open in Australia, but still), and he's got his next directorial effort in the can, the wartime drama "Hacksaw Ridge" starring Andrew Garfield. Now, he's set to take his growing comeback to TV. Gibson will direct and co-write "The Barbary Coast." He'll be guiding Kurt Russell and Kate Hudson, and taking a role himself, in the adaptation of "Gangs Of New York" author Herbert Asbury's book about The Gold Rush era of San Francisco, and seamy criminal culture that emerged. Here's the book synopsis: The history of the Barbary Coast properly begins with the gold rush to California in 1849. If the precious yellow metal hadn't been discovered ... the development...

Crime, lust and vigilante lynchings in the wide-open city on the bay, back in the gold rush days. Miriam Hopkins, Edward G. Robinson and Joel McCrea form a spirited triangle as a sharp roulette dealer strings one man along and can't prevent another from throwing away a fortune. Sam Goldwyn's impressive production shows Howard Hawks developing strong characters, in a somewhat old-fashioned story.

A Sam Goldywyn film through and through, Howard Hawks' Barbary Coast could almost be a template for a standard 'golden age' Hollywood movie.

With such a definitive and spoiler-happy title as “He Married His Wife” (even with pronouns lending a level of mystery), plot quickly becomes unimportant. Even the contemporary micro-genre this 1940 film fills, the comedy of remarriage, immediately announces T.H. Randall’s (Joel McCrea) eventual reunion with estranged wife Valerie (Nancy Kelly). In order for the couple to come together, both actors must switch between clown and straight-man acts at screwball pace using the supporting cast as colorful props.This outline worked well for Howard Hawks’s Bringing Up Baby (1938) two years earlier, but that had the remarkable advantage of both Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, both known for versatility in anything their studio would throw at them. Conversely, 20th Century Fox put director Roy Del Ruth to the task of He Married His Wife as a workman director capable of identifying the strengths of a trending narrative style for economic opportunity.

During the Great Depression a number of rich New Yorkers gentrified parts of the East River, displacing several slums in the name of a waterway vista in their high-rises. Sidney Kingsley’s original 1935 play of Dead End mashed the actual dead end community of Manhattan’s East 53rd Street with the luxury River House of East 52nd to bring to light the human tensions in advanced capitalism. After a private street exit closes (likely due to the sort of construction that comes with neighborhood renovation), the dressy rich must walk through immigrant-heavy back streets when traveling. With the distance between these communities closing, internal aggravation among the play’s riverside ruffians, the Dead End Kids (later bought by Samuel Goldwyn and eventually renamed the Bowery Boys), turns into physical violence.It’s material that could be ripe for Marxist interpretation, but Kingsley’s play acts as more noblesse oblige social concern more than flip-the-system call-to-action.

In 1935 director Howard Hawks had a reputation for directing fast action films that were shot like screwball comedies. Before the Hays code, he directed Paul Muni as an Al Capone persona for the “most violent picture” of the time, Scarface (1932). Films about violent sports and vehicles and the men in control of them also got the Hawks treatment with The Dawn Patrol (1930), The Crowd Roars (1932), and The Prizefighter and the Lady (1933). The tagline for that last one’s poster reads: “Girls! There’S A New Passion In Your Life!” Hawks’ strengths lie in that spectacle of unfettered action for the boys, star power for the girls. His marketing image had stepped out of genre pictures before with more straightforward dramas Tiger Shark (1932)and Today We Live (1933). In Twentieth Century (1934), Hawks even ventured into full screwball territory (I’d wager that the Code taking away his violent sensibilities may have something to do with this,...

By winning the Best Cinematography Oscar for a second year in a row, "Birdman" director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki has joined a truly elite club whose ranks haven't been breached in nearly two decades. Only four other cinematographers have won the prize in two consecutive years. The last time it happened was in 1994 and 1995, when John Toll won for Edward Zwick's "Legends of the Fall" and Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" respectively. Before that you have to go all the way back to the late '40s, when Winton Hoch won in 1948 (Victor Fleming's "Joan of Arc" with Ingrid Bergman) and 1949 (John Ford's western "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon"). Both victories came in the color category, as the Academy awarded prizes separately for black-and-white and color photography from 1939 to 1956. Leon Shamroy also won back-to-back color cinematography Oscars, for Henry King's 1944 Woodrow Wilson biopic "Wilson" and John M. Stahl...

Jean-Jacques Annaud was making a film about oil wars in the desert. Then the Arab spring started, his crew were evacuated, and he had to explain why he had 300 guns
One day in 2010, over tea in Barcelona, Antonio Banderas took Jean-Jacques Annaud firmly by the wrist, looked deep into the French director's eyes and said: "I have always dreamed of playing an Arab. Let me be in your film." It's tempting to imagine Banderas saying these words in the same way he says "I am Puss – in boots!" in Shrek, before making his pupils dilate seductively. But it probably wasn't quite like that.
Annaud was scouring Europe and the Middle East to cast Black Gold, which tells the freighted and fruity story of two Arab kings who unsheath their ancestral scimitars in the 1930s and do battle over a strip of desert, under which some of the world's biggest oilfields have just been discovered.

Still, it’s been centuries since Americans went after a British pirate. Now the U.S. is doing just that, trying to jail Richard O’Dwyer of South Yorkshire for copyright infringement.

One of my most anticipated film projects that hasn't even been greenlit yet is Brad Bird (The Incredibles) live action film project 1906, which is based around the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. This earthquake absolutely demolished the city beyond all recognition. The film is supposed to be based on the novel by James Dalessandro, and was originally going to be Bird first live action film until Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol came along.
Bird recently gave an update on the film project saying that it hasn't even got bast the story a scripting phase. It's still very early on in development even though he's been working on it for over two years. The guy wants to make, he's just trying get the right epic story together. He once again talked about trying to take on the challenge of taking this miniseries kind of story, and condensing it into a movie length...

I've been following Brad Bird's live-action 1906 film project since it was first announced, but it seems like one of those films that unfortunately may never going to happen. He's been talking about it for years, but it's never gone beyond anything but talk. At one point the movie was said to be dead. But, if you recall, Steven Spielberg's Lincoln film project was in the pipeline for several years, and now it's finally actually being made which is great! So there's still hope for 1906.
The film will tell the story about the great earthquake that hit the city of San Francisco in 1906 and absolutely demolished the city beyond all recognition. The film is based on the novel by James Dalessandro. This was supposed to have been his first live-action film, but now that he's directing Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, 1906 could potentially be his second.

Howard Hawks's films – The Big Sleep, His Girl Friday, Bringing Up Baby – are among the most enjoyable ever made in Hollywood, with sublime performances by Bogart and Grant and Bacall. Just don't call him an 'artist'. By David Bromwich
Howard Hawks took legitimate pride in a certain professionalism, but "artist" and "work of art" were alien terms for him. He appreciated the wit of Faulkner's saying to him the first time they met: "I've seen your name on a check."
Setting it up and putting it together, working with actors and the script: these were his elements of film. Hawks knew what a cameraman should do – Lee Garmes brought to Scarface the desert surface Hawks knew he wanted – but he made no pretence about placing lights or finding angles. He was an experimenter whose greatest successes were happy accidents. The standard genres – comedy, melodrama, western, film noir – he took...

In Part 3 of Wamg’s look at 2012, we’ll take a look at the posters marketing the film as well as other disaster themed posters. Back in August, I showed you some of the dazzling posters from director Roland Emmerich’s apocalyptic movie. For me, there’s nothing better than when you go into the theater, movie posters towering all around, and you instinctively walk right up to one that catches your eye… especially the visually cool ones. That film is immediately locked into the brain and you begin thinking about what the first teaser for the film will look like on the big screen. Funny enough, this latest one for 2012 is reminiscent of The 10 Commandments, although Heston’s “Moses” has a far better outcome, and with a totally different type of ”God’s Wrath” looming in the distance. No burning bush or stone tablets to save this Tibetian Monk.

Last month, Good Magazine and the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association (Spur) asked city officials to present a "call for problems"--ways to improve local public education or create a more effective citywide recycling program. Six local designers were assigned the "problems," and their responses were presented last night in a panel as part of Aia Sf's Architecture and the City Festival moderated by our own Alissa Walker. Below, we look at some of our favorites.
The design firm Min Day was assigned the task of making movement safer along the Embarcadero waterfront. Min Day's response was simple enough--turn the Embarcadero promenade into a "slow space," filled with colorful speed bumps, painted bike lanes, and greenery-adorned walkways. It's a feasible, cheap, and attractive solution inspired partially by Park(ing) Day and the High Line in NYC.
