The movies that he makes for himself has at least a little entertainment value, the ones where he only has a producing credit pretty much go to video after a few weeks or a month of release depending on the actors. What I am saying is, he is pretty a money maker, mover and shaker in the industry, apart from making blockbusters, he doesn't have any strength.

I'm uninformed about who produces what, and I thought Suspect Zero looked interesting, although I don't watch horror. If he's producing indies, that makes him look better than I described. But producing is an entirely different talent, much more like writing, and it requires a much broader vision, as well as managerial skills. You can be a great actor and a miserable producer. Although he is giving opportunities to young talent, producing can also be an exercise in vanity and greed. Personally, I can't see trying to produce if you haven't spent time writing or directing. He's skipped a couple of steps on the creative ladder.

Another weird thing is that he is a producer, he has produced quite a few films, those he starred in are usually money makers but the others he produces for other actors and actresses to star in are usually bad, the only successful production he didn't star in was The Others, it got both critical acclaim and did well commercially and also Narc, the rest have been vulgar, Ask The Dust has just been critically panned, Suspect Zero starred Ben Kingsley and the lady who played Trinity in the Matrix and Ed Burns.

The actor recently announced there is "no Mr Ben Kingsley anymore" and reportedly chastised a German reporter for failing to address him with his full title. He also came under fire from fellow knight Roger Moore, who branded his supposed insistence on having his full title printed on posters for new movie Lucky Number Slevin as "pretentious b**llocks". But although co-star Morgan Freeman admits: "He does ask that you call him Sir Ben," Kingsley has protested his innocence in the wake of the embarrassing backlash. He says: "I was shocked when I found out what had happened. "No one's ever asked for the title to be used in this way because that's not the way we work in this profession. "It's always been and will always be Ben Kingsley. "If I've ever insisted on being called 'Sir' by colleagues on a film set then I am profoundly sorry. I don't remember ever doing that and I tend not to forget."

  • http://breakingnews.iol.ie/entertainment/story.asp?j=174085480&p=y74x86y86&n =174086240 Kingsley: Poster publicity was slip-up 26/02/2006 - 16:06:10 Oscar-winning actor Sir Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley today denied he had insisted on using his full title on posters for his new film. The Ghandi star was branded "barmy" by veteran producer Lord Puttnam after publicity for Lucky Number Slevin billed him as "Sir Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley". Sir Ben, 62, who was knighted in 2001, said it was a "faux pas" by the film' s producers - but insisted he was proud of his title. He told the Sunday Telegraph: "I was shocked when I found out what had happened. "No-one's ever asked for the title to be used in this way because that's not the way we work in this profession. It's always been and should always be Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley. "I love the team behind Lucky Slevin and I love the film, but I think some well-meaning executive sat down and said, 'What shall we call him: Ben Kingsley, Sir Ben or even Sir Kingsley?' "The upshot is it goes off in a memo and no-one thinks to stop it. The reaction to the poster from other people in our profession was totally justified, but it was a reaction to someone else's faux pas." He went on: "I've always been proud of the title, but I've learnt to be quietly proud." Chariots of Fire producer Lord Puttnam, honoured this week with a Bafta Fellowship, urged Sir Ben to stop taking himself so seriously. In an interview with BBC Radio Five Live Breakfast, he said: "I think Ben's barmy and I wish I could just get hold of him and say 'wake up'. It's a silly thing to do. "Within the film industry I'm just David Puttnam and I will always be David Puttnam." After being knighted, Sir Ben, the son of a Scarborough GP, said: "There is no Mr Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley any more. Being a Sir brings with it responsibility."
  • http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,,1714584,00.html?gusrc=rss Sir Ben to you: knight stirs film realm PIC: Please sir ... Sir Ben at the Golden Globe awards in 2002 Veteran film producer Lord Puttnam has labelled Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley "barmy" for insisting on being billed as "Sir Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley" on the poster of his new film. For the first time in his career, the Oscar-winning actor is to be billed as "Sir Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley" for the thriller Lucky Number Slevin, which is released in the UK this week. In the film, Sir Ben plays a New York crime boss opposite Josh Hartnett and Morgan Freeman. "I think Ben's barmy and I wish I could just get hold of him and say 'wake up'. It's a silly thing to do." said the Chariots of Fire producer to BBC Radio Five Live. "Within the film industry I'm just David Puttnam and I will always be David Puttnam." Asked what Sir Ben was thinking, Puttnam replied: "I wish I knew. I don't know. It's a very, very, very silly thing to do and I suspect when he sits back and thinks about it he will realise." Knighted actors such as Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery or Michael Caine are never billed with their titles. Michael Gambon reportedly threatened to hit anyone who called him "Sir Michael" during the filming of the US TV series Angels in America. But Sir Ben is known for being touchy about his honorific. At a 2003 press conference, the Oliver Twist actor criticised a German reporter who called him Mr Kingsley, saying: "It's Sir Ben. I've not been a Mr for two years." After he became a knight in 2001, the Gandhi actor said, "There is no Mr Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley any more. Being a Sir brings with it responsibility". Puttnam was not the only one annoyed by Sir Ben. Another knight of the realm, Roger Moore, said: "It's a load of pretentious bollocks." "I don't see the point," said Moore. "Would it really add anything to have one's title included? I think it's the actor people want to see, not the knight."

  • http://www.imdb.com/news/wenn/2005-09-27/ Kingsley's Fagin Inspired by Old Photos Sir Ben Kingsley used a stash of photographs he picked up on the set of Schindler's List in Krakow, Poland, to inspire his makeover as Dickensian Jew Fagin in Roman Polanski's Oliver Twist. The Oscar winner is virtually unrecognizable as pickpocket Fagin in the new movie, and he credits old photographs of late 19th century Jews with his amazing transformation. He explains, "When I was filming Schindler's List I bought some sepia photographs in a store in the Jewish quarter of late 19th century Jews in Krakow. They had wonderful faces, extraordinary clothes... and I was very fond of them. They were part of the performance in Schindler's List. I loved them and I wanted them to be part of my Fagin too." As for Fagin's moth-eaten costume, Kingsley called on an old antiques dealer friend to give him the perfect look. He adds, "The costume came from a junk dealer I met as a child - he sold foreign coins, stamps, old musical instruments, clothing. I used to go and buy things from him I was fascinated by him. He wore three overcoats tied together with a piece of rope, just like I do as Fagin."
  • http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20050925/ap_en_mo/box_office By DAVID GERMAIN, AP Movie Writer 27 minutes ago LOS ANGELES - Jodie Foster piloted "Flightplan" to a No. 1 debut, her airborne thriller taking in $24.6 million to land ahead of " Tim Burton's Corpse Bride," the runner-up with $20.1 million. The weekend's other new wide release, rapper Bow Wow's rollerskating romp "Roll Bounce," opened at No. 4 with $8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday. With two movies topping $20 million at a traditionally quiet time in theaters, the box office surged. The top 12 movies took in $89.2 million, up 51 percent from the same weekend last year. The upswing extended a September rally for Hollywood, which has seen revenues slump most of the year. Receipts are running 6 percent behind 2004, and with higher ticket prices, movie admissions are down 9 percent. "This fall season has been in a word, spectacular," said Paul Dergarabedian, president of box-office tracker Exhibitor Relations. "We'd been so fixated on the box-office slump, and here we are in a fall boom. This is terrific for the industry and bodes well for a very strong holiday season." David Cronenberg's "A History of Violence," starring Viggo Mortensen as a family man whose tranquil life is shattered by intrusive mobsters ( Ed Harris and William Hurt), opened strongly in limited release with $504,000 in 14 theaters. The movie expands to about 1,200 theaters Friday. Also debuting solidly was Roman Polanski's adaptation of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," featuring Ben Kingsley as pickpocket mentor Fagin, which took in $69,000 at five theaters. The film will be shown in about 800 theaters Friday. "Flightplan" was the first No. 1 debut in almost five months for distributor Disney, historically one of Hollywood's steadiest hitmakers. "Long time coming. You never expect that. We're usually more consistent," said Chuck Viane, Disney head of distribution. "Flightplan" stars Foster as a widow whose 6-year-old daughter vanishes on a trans-Atlantic trip, prompting panic from the girl's mom and skepticism from the crew and passengers, who have no record or recollection the child was ever on board. After a strong premiere for "Corpse Bride" in five theaters the previous weekend, some industry observers had expected the animated tale to hold the top box-office spot this weekend. "Corpse Bride" features the voices of Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter in a musical fantasy about a jittery groom whisked to the underworld after he's inadvertently wed to a decomposing cadaver. It's the second stop-motion animation flick for co-director Burton, following 1993's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Dan Fellman, head of distribution for "Corpse Bride" backer Warner Bros., said the studio had not expected a No. 1 showing and that the movie had the best results ever for an animated film in September. "There's always those in the industry making predictions outside our company, but we knew the strength of our movie," Fellman said, "we're nothing but thrilled." Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Exhibitor Relations Co. Inc. Final figures will be released Monday. 1. "Flightplan," $24.6 million. 2. "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride," $20.1 million. 3. "Just Like Heaven," $9.8 million. 4. "Roll Bounce," $8 million. 5. "The Exorcism of Emily Rose," $7.5 million. 6. "Lord of War," $4.9 million. 7. "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," $4.3 million. 8. "The Constant Gardener," $2.2 million. 9. "Transporter 2," $2.15 million. 10. "Cry Wolf," $2.1 million.

  • http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/338821p-289317c.html This year's fall and winter movie season looks fantastic. That doesn't mean it's going to be particularly good, just that there are so many ... fantasies. There are children's fantasies like "Zathura" and "The Chronicles of Narnia"; gravity-defying fantasies like "The Legend of Zorro" and "Aeon Flux"; the animated fantasies "Chicken Little," "Tim Burton's Corpse Bride" and "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-rabbit"; sci-fi adventures "Serenity," "Doom" and "A Sound of Thunder"; the fourth Harry Potter movie, and Peter Jackson's remake of the ultimate fantasy-adventure, "King Kong." We begin our preview at the end of August, but the string of fantasies gets an early start on Friday with Terry Gilliam's galloping "The Brothers Grimm," which has more references to classic fairy tale characters than all the other coming fantasies combined. Some analysts may attribute the rash of fantasy films to the escapism that comes with war, and that may play a role. But it seems just as likely that fantasy reigns because the ability to create incredible images today makes the genre irresistible to storytellers. The trailers for all of the above movies are linked on the Web sites www.apple.com/trailers and www.imdb.com. Take a look and you'll agree: They look fantastic. Fall/winter is also Oscar season, and there are plenty of potential contenders. The high-profile films with awards ambitions include Steven Spielberg's "Munich," a drama based on the search for the planners of the assault on Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympic Games; Rob Marshall's "Memoirs of a Geisha," based on Arthur Golden's acclaimed novel about a woman who spends her life in the high art of pleasing, and Terrence Malick's "The New World," an epic account of the first Virginia colony and the meeting of John Smith and Pocahontas. Recent Oscar-winning director Roman Polanski returns with a new version of Charles Dickens' "Oliver Twist," and Marc Forster'>Marc Forster ("Finding Neverland") turns to drama with "Stay," the story of a psychiatrist's efforts to stop a patient from carrying out a suicide threat. Two Broadway musicals make the transition to the screen. Susan Stroman, who directed "The Producers" on stage, handles the film adaptation as well, while Chris Columbus directs "Rent." A few laughs Comedies abound. Among them are: "Rumor Has It," starring Jennifer Aniston as a female version of "The Graduate's" Benjamin Braddock; "The Man," a buddy film featuring unlikely chemistry between Samuel L. Jackson and Eugene Levy; "The Weather Man," starring Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage'>Nicolas Cage as a TV weather guy who wears his bad forecasts on his shoulders, and a pair of old-fashioned family films about families that are too big - "Yours, Mine, and Ours" and "Cheaper by the Dozen 2." The following schedule may have changed by the time the ink was dry on this newspaper. But the great majority of films listed are locked in to those dates.

Director Eduardo Rodriguez is apparently no relation. An Unfinished Life Lasse Hallstr=F6m's sentimental drama brings the unlikely pairing of uptight rancher Robert Redford and emotional single mom Jennifer Lopez. Don't expect sparks, though: he's a grieving father, and she's the woman who married, and then accidentally killed, his son. Can her preteen daughter unite them, or will she become just another wedge in their long-simmering enmity? More important, will Lopez benefit from a boost in her lukewarm screen career, or has the shelf-life on this much delayed movie already expired?

Once they're over their, uh, dimensional differences, the race is on to keep her body from being taken off life support. Proof Last time director John Madden and Gwyneth Paltrow worked together, she landed herself an Oscar. Though more erudite and intimate than "Shakespeare in Love," Madden's adaptation of David Auburn's Pulitzer Prize-winning play might just catch the eyes of Academy's voters, too. Reprising a role she has already tackled on the London stage, Paltrow plays an overwhelmed young woman rapidly losing her grip after the death of her father (Anthony Hopkins), a brilliant math professor. Hovering around the edges are her concerned support system: brainy admirer Jake Gyllenhaal'>Jake Gyllenhaal and coldly practical sister Hope Davis.

Patricia Clarkson is the headmistress and Agnes Bruckner'>Agnes Bruckner is the new student caught up in the mystery.

Fortunately, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson are always willing to suffer stoically for our entertainment. "Gosford Park" screenwriter Julian Fellowes makes his directorial debut, while Watson and Wilkinson play a long-married couple who are still quite happy together (aside from the passionate affair and possible homicide she's hiding).

Samantha Morton is the actress who comes under Wilmot's shaky tutelage. Adapted from his play by Stephen Jeffreys and directed by first-timer Laurence Dunmore. Tim Burton's Corpse Bride Another day, another Johnny Depp-Tim Burton collaboration. Not that we're feeling cavalier about it: These two have given us some of the most unusual movies in recent years. Since Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "James and the Giant Peach" are among them, we have high hopes for this latest stop-motion animated fantasy, which is based on an old Russian folk tale about a young groom (voiced by Depp) who inadvertently finds himself with two wives (he could do worse than Helena Bonham Carter'>Helena Bonham Carter and Emily Watson). Thumbsucker Offbeat comedy about a 17-year-old boy whose infantile habit of sucking his thumb makes him the subject of ridicule and isolation even in his own home.

The Weeping Meadow The first film in a planned trilogy by Greek master Theo Angelopoulos follows a pair of refugee children as they come of age in the small Greek village they are brought to after the Russian Revolution. SEPT. 23 A History of Violence With echoes of Alfred Hitchcock's "wrong man" theme and Sam Peckinpah's "Straw Dogs," David Cronenberg's latest film stars Viggo Mortensen as a small-town family man whose celebrated heroism in thwarting and killing two thugs in his diner draws gangsters to town. The one with the deformed face (Ed Harris) claims he knew the hero years before and he has come for some payback. Despite his denials, Mortensen's character ends up having to fight violence with violence. With Maria Bello, William Hurt. Oliver Twist If ever there were a story that suited Roman Polanski's dark sensibilities, it's Charles Dickens' classic saga of an orphan whose fate falls and rises at the mercy of others. The screenplay was written by Ronald Harwood, Polanski's partner on their Oscar-winning "Pianist," so it is always possible that this artistically acclaimed pair aims to entertain adults and youngsters alike, while simultaneously approaching the Academy with a respectful request: "May we have some more?" With Barney Clark as Oliver, Ben Kingsley'>Ben Kingsley as Fagin and Jamie Foreman as Bill Sykes. Flightplan In her first starring role in three years, Jodie Foster plays a recently widowed woman whose 6-year-old daughter disappears in the middle of a trans-continental flight from Berlin to New York.

Murrow (David Strathairn) and Sen. Joseph McCarthy. In the 1950s, McCarthy was the most visible member of the witch-hunting House UnAmerican Activities Committee, which destroyed the careers of innocent people from all walks of life by associating them with Communists.

Already the subject of three Oscar-nominated shorts, inventor Wallace and his dog Gromit make their feature debut in a comedy about a mysterious monster who's destroying the garden plots of an English village.
