Yes, the Darwins. According to The Hollywood Reporter , the film will be directed by Jon Amiel , from a script penned by John Collee , and based on Randal Keynes’ book Annie’s Box. (Keynes is Darwin’s great-great grandson.) The film will portray Charles Darwin as a man torn between his love for his deeply religious wife, and his growing belief in a world where God has no place. I hope that they explore Darwin’s personal struggles and belief more deeply than the plot description suggests. To sell him as an athiest smacks of wanting to stir up controversy -- Darwin always called himself an agonostic, and his rejection of Christianity stemmed as much from the tragic death of his daughter, Annie, as his research. It’s a complex and fascinating biography, one that...

Komend jaar zijn 200 jaar verstreken sinds de geboorte van Charles Darwin en 150 jaar sinds de publicatie van zijn voornaamste werk On the origin of species . Om dit te vieren is 2009 uitgeroepen tot Darwinjaar. Naast wetenschappelijke aandacht, zoals van het tijdschrift Nature , werkt het Darwinjaar als een rode lap op Christelijke organisaties. Hun aandacht varieert van gematigde tegengeluiden , tot orthodoxe groepen die anno 2008 een letterlijke interpretatie van Genesis voorstaan.

The Toronto International Film Festival starts September 4th - but, not to dash your mental images or anything, the truth is that the 2008 Toronto International Film Festival started a few weeks ago. Toronto has several great films from Cannes this year making their North American debut, to be sure -- like the riveting crime-and-power tales Gomorra and Leonera , or the French films Entre Les Murs and Un Conte de Noel -- but apart from that earlier bow for several films at Toronto thi... more
In spite of the writer’s strike keeping several larger films that otherwise would have been on the Telluride slate out of this year’s fest, and the absence of Cannes Palm d’or winner The Class , which many had hoped to see here (that film is opening the upcoming New York Film Festival, and so was unable to play at Telluride), the 35th Telluride Film Festival was a solid success.
The fest scored sneak previews of Danny Boyle’s hotly anticipated Slumdog Milli... more
