State Of Play Review

Short version: State of Play is a classy, old fashioned newspaper movie with strong performances and no CGI.


Screen Rant’s Niall Browne reviews State of Play

State of Play is a classy piece of Hollywood filmmaking that delivers an entertaining two hours in the cinema and features enjoyable star performances from Russell Crowe, Ben Affleck and Rachel McAdams.

The film which is based on the British BBC series of the same name (which first aired in 2003) unfolds in the tradition of other newspaper films such as All The Presidents Men and even His Girl Friday. State of Play is an old fashioned thriller that deals with political conspiracy, journalistic values and as a running theme – how the internet has changed the written word.

New Posters For ‘Wolverine’, ‘Up’ And ‘State Of Play’

Today we have a batch of new posters for your viewing pleasure for the upcoming movies X-Men Origins: Wolverine, State of Play and Disney Pixar’s Up.

To start, we have the French one-sheet for X-Men Origins: Wolverine which depicts Hugh Jackman as the fierce mutant re-enacting a scene from The Sound of Music (with his claws out mind you). Following that is the very generic poster for State of Play which lets us see the faces of its lead actors. And last but not least, three new posters for Up, each featuring one of the lead characters.

Ben Affleck Replaces Ed Norton In State Of Play

Ben Affleck Replaces Ed Norton In State Of Play

Since the writers’ strike began one of the most troubled and high profile films has been Kevin McDonald’s political thriller State Of Play. The film was originally supposed to star Brad Pitt and Edward Norton, but when pre-strike rewrites didn’t satisfy Pitt, he walked.

Universal Pictures then successfully courted Russell Crowe for the part of the investigating journalist who is covering a high profile murder story. Norton had still been attached to the film, but now as the films start date was pushed back to January he has had to leave the project because it clashes with Tim Blake Nelson’s comedy Leaves of Grass.

Variety is now reporting that Ben Affleck will now be replacing Norton as the young politician involved in the murder conspiracy.
