Mick Jagger May Grab Lead Role in 'Tabloid'

Not counting an uncredited line-free appearance in 'The Bank Job' in 2008, it has been a decade since Rolling Stones lead singer Mick Jagger has flexed his actorly muscles onscreen in 'The Man From Elysian Fields.' That could change relatively soon, provided the new film 'Tabloid' actually gets off the ground with the singer still attached. Move like Jagger (groan!) to check out some details ahead. Per Deadline, Josh Olson ('A History of Violence,' the upcoming 'One Shot') will write the script for 'Tabloid,' which follows a "global media mogul with dubious morality" and the "young journalist who gets seduced and sucked into [his] immoral world." Jagger would play the young journalist media mogul and also produce. In addition to 'Elysian Fields' and 'The Bank Job,' Jagger's previous credits include 'Freejack,' 'Performance' and 'Ned Kelly.'

Cosi fan tutte

Two couples take their fidelity towards the test in L.A. Operas presentation of Mozarts Cosi fan tutte. An L.A. Opera presentation of the opera in 2 functions by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Lorenzo da Ponte. Directed by Ashley Dean. Conductor, James Conlon.Ferrando - Saimir Pirgu Guglielmo - Ildebrando D'Arcangelo Don Alfonso - Lorenzo Regazzo Fiordiligi - Aleksandra Kurzak Dorabella - Ruxandra Donose Despina - Roxana Constantinescumozart's sublime music, James Conlon great performing, along with a solid ensemble of world-class singer-entertainers. Also can an operagoer want? Possibly a brand new undertake a classic warhorse. Mozart might have recognized this production "Cosi fan tutte," and congratulated. For many purists, that's the actual way it ought to be. L.A. Opera is promoting this odd practice of getting in productions from elsewhere that provide novel understanding of rarities, like Rossini's "The Turk in Italia" and Britten's "The Turn from the Screw," and conventional stagings from the classics, for example "Rigoletto" and today "Cosi." Overturn approach would appear to be preferable. In the eighties, Peter Sellars was alternately praised and condemned for his Trump Tower "Marriage of Figaro," his Vietnam-era "Cosi" and the urban ghetto "Don Giovanni." Anybody who saw individuals productions, available these days on DVD, never saw or heard individuals operas in quite exactly the same way again. L.A. Opera's new "Cosi," initially staged by Nicholas Hytner at Glyndebourne, meets anticipation instead of challenges or grows in it. Frankly, this may be known as the Beige "Cosi" with designer Vicki Mortimer's pale marble unit set, that could also function to stage a variety of other Mozart operas. It resembles the balcony section of Lincoln subsequently Center's Avery Fisher Hall. Helmer Ashley Dean, overtaking for Hytner here, continues to be fortunate with game entertainers who look the various components from the embattled enthusiasts that do horrible things, but love one another likewise. Ferrando (Saimir Pirgu) and Guglielmo (Ildebrando D'Arcangelo) trick their particular female friends, Dorabella (Ruxandra Donose) and Fiordiligi (Aleksandra Kurzak), to check their fidelity -- and also the women fail, hence the title "thus all ladies are." Before feminists freak, it is best to consider Mozart's "Figaro" and "Don Giovanni," and it is a secure wager the composer found the males here the larger rats. One factor that's never uncertain -- and this can be a major credit to Dean, Conlon as well as their performers -- is when much these four figures love one another despite all of the chicanery. Don Alfonso (Lorenzo Regazzo) proposes the wager that begins the chicanery, and that he and the accomplice Despina (Roxana Constantinescu) might be the smart realists, however they never reach sing the type of music that does not only delights the ear but moves one's heart. Kurzak's enormous range and skill switched her faithful-like-a-rock aria, "Come scoglio," in to the showstopper it's. Pirgu spins an attractive mezza-voce, making his Ferrando a most supportive cad. Donose is possibly probably the most stylish singer from the bunch, with D'Aracangelo undeniably having probably the most animal drive in the voice. It makes sense pre-bed room vocal fireworks, and my wager is Dorabella and Guglielmo create a go from it following the curtain drops.Sets and costumes, Vicki Mortimer lighting, Andrew May. Opened up Sept. 18, 2011. Examined Sept. 22. Running time: 3 Hrs, 30 MIN. Contact Robert Hofler at bob.hofler@variety.com
