However, in a new statement, a representative for Redgrave denied that she is involved with the project but confirmed that talks had taken place."Vanessa Redgrave's name is being included in recent stories relating to the casting of the upcoming film 'The Man Who Drew God,'" the statement read. "While there have been discussions about the possibility of her joining the cast, she will not appear in the film."Insider has contacted Redgrave and the film's producers for further comment. <div type="image" title="GettyImages 1025056268" height="3588" width="5196" msid="83061949" hostid="261"></div>It has been reported that Kevin Spacey will star in the film as a detective investigating the case of a blind artist - played by Franco Nero - who has the extraordinary gift of making true-to-life portraits just by listening to human voices.This will be Spacey's first big-screen appearance since he faced numerous accusations of sexual misconduct. In 2017, <a href="https://www.insider.com/london-theater-kevin-spacey-investigation-finds-20-allegations-of-misconduct-2017-11">20 young men accused Spacey</a> of sexual misconduct during his time at the Old Vic Theatre in London between 1995 and 2013. Following the allegations, Spacey was dropped from his role as Frank Underwood in the popular Netflix series "House of Cards."In 2018, Spacey was charged with indecent assault involving an alleged 2016 incident with <a href="https://www.insider.com/police-video-evidence-kevin-spacey-alleged-sexual-assault-nantucket-2018-12">a teenager on Nantucket Island</a> in Massachusetts. He pleaded not guilty and the charge was later dropped.

A federal judge ruled that the accuser had to disclose his identity due to the case's high-profile nature.Earlier this week, Louis Nero, the producer working on "The Man Who Drew God" <a href="https://ew.com/movies/kevin-spacey-sexual-misconduct-allegations-no-concern-man-who-drew-god/">told Entertainment Weekly</a> that the allegations against Spacey were of no concern to the project. "In Italy, we don't know details on everything, so we don't speak about what we don't know about. I cannot speak about these things," he said. "I only know that Kevin is a great actor. That was my concern and no more than that."

"It was such a freak accident," Neeson said, reflecting on Richardson's death in Rolling Stone. Asked about how he "picked up the pieces" of his life after her death he said, "Life goes on. Natasha's mother, Vanessa [Redgrave], and her sister [Joely Richardson] kind of moved in, and I had a wonderful assistant, Joanna… People just came to help, you know? In a big way.

Liam Neeson is back in theaters this weekend in "Taken 3."
The sequel will close out the franchise that helped transform the 62-year-old&#xa0;Oscar-nominated actor into one of Hollywood's most sought-after action stars in his sixties.
Though Neeson starred as Jedi master Qui-Gon Jinn in 1999's "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" and as assassin Ra's al Ghul in Christopher Nolan's recent "The Dark Knight Trilogy," it wasn't until after the cult status of&#xa0;2008's "Taken" that Neeson started starring more frequently in similar roles&#xa0;which allowed him to&#xa0;deliver his "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgmO32IdwuE">particular set of skills</a>" over and over again.
"Unknown," "The Grey," and last year's "Non-Stop" were all big hits at the box office.&#xa0;
It's an envious role to actors like Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, '80s action stars who have tried to revitalize their careers for younger generations after the <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=expendables.htm">success of "The Expendables,"</a> only to turn up with <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=bullettothehead.htm">box-office</a> <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=grudgematch.htm">bomb</a> after <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=laststand.htm">box-office</a> <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=ten2014.htm">bomb</a>.
However, most actors don't suddenly decide to make the switch to action star later in life.
The change in Neeson's career came after the sudden death of his wife of 15 years in March 2009.<a title_source="Evan Agostini/Getty Images" title_caption="Richardson and Neeson at the " Dreamgirls="" premiere="" after="" party="" in="" Dec.="" class="zoomin" href="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/541c5dececad045447662e0d-960/liam-neeson-wife-2.jpg"></a>Evan Agostini/Getty ImagesRichardson and Neeson at the "Dreamgirls" premiere after party in Dec. 2006.

"I'm not good without work," Neeson told Cooper.&#xa0;"I just didn't want to, especially for my boys, to seem to be wallowing in sadness or depression."&#xa0;
"Taken" debuted two months before Richardson's death. Neeson thought the film would be straight to video, but the $25 million movie became a hit,&#xa0;<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=taken.htm">making $226.8 million worldwide</a>.&#xa0;A sequel <a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=taken2.htm">debuted to $50 million opening weekend</a> in 2012 and made more than $375 million worldwide.&#xa0;
Since 2009, Neeson has starred in more than a dozen action films including the big-budget "<a href="http://boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=clashofthetitans10.htm">Clash of the Titans</a>." 
He's currently filming several movies including one that already sounds straight from the "Taken" playbook where he'll play an aging hitman ("Run All Night").
<a href="http://www.esquire.com/features/liam-neeson-0311-4">According to a 2011 Esquire interview</a>,&#xa0;Neeson said it has been this work which has helped him get through Richardson's passing.

"Running away to work. Listen, I know how old I am and that I'm just a shoulder injury from losing roles like the one in Taken. So I stay with the training, I stay with the work. It's easy enough to plan jobs, to plan a lot of work. That's effective. But that's the weird thing about grief. You can't prepare for it. You think you're gonna cry and get it over with. You make those plans, but they never work."
While the actor told Cooper he's a "wee bit embarrassed" by his success as an action star, he believes it's something his wife would be pleased to learn.
"She'd be very chuffed at that," said Neeson.
"Taken 3" is out in theaters Friday. Reviews for the finale are <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/taken_3/">terrible compared</a> to the previous two; however, the film is expected to make <a href="http://www.boxofficemojo.com/news/?id=3994">over $30 million this weekend</a>, and, like the first two films in the series, be a big hit overseas.

How Liam Neeson Became An Accidental Action Star At 61

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image"></div></div></div>"Foxcatcher" is only the third feature from director Bennett Miller, but considering his previous two films ("Capote" and "Moneyball") both garnered Oscar nominations, anticipation for his latest take on a true story has been sky high. Fans of the director can rest assured: "Foxcatcher" is a fascinating film made all the more absorbing through its rich, vivid characters and efficient storytelling. 
We are introduced to wrestler Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum) a few years after his glory days winning Olympic gold along with his brother Dave (Mark Ruffalo). Dave is now happily married with children, but Mark mopes through life in the shadow of his more successful brother, giving half-hearted motivational speeches to rooms full of bored children. When eccentric millionaire John du Pont (Steve Carell) calls Mark out of the blue and offers to help train him for the 1988 Seoul Olympic games at his lavish estate, there's no reason for him not to accept.
"Foxcatcher" portrays the man in a way that sheds light on the factors that lead to the big, newsworthy event. By the time we meet Du Pont's disapproving mother (Vanessa Redgrave), we start to see the anguish that lead to Du Pont's mental state. His insistence on being referred to as the "golden eagle" and his absurd patriotic rants start to make sense after we learn of his sad upbringing. As his interactions with Mark grow increasingly troublesome, he becomes more and more sinister and threatening. 
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Less is more in the world of "Foxcatcher," and silence pervades. The film opens with what feels like fifteen minutes of virtually no words, and the score is used so sparingly that afterwards I questioned whether or it even had one.
 This isn't a bad thing, and an early training scene featuring Mark and David wrestling one another encapsulates all we need to know about their relationship without any words in a matter of minutes. This is courtesy of the fantastically rich screenplay, Bennett Miller's impeccable direction, and the exceptional work from the cast.
Steve Carell is almost unrecognizable as Du Pont; a giant prosthetic nose, false teeth and pale skin give him an unsettling and imposing air. The film truly belongs to him and is essentially a detailed character study of an individual that is certainly ripe for analysis. Du Pont speaks in a dry, stilted bursts and while his looniness is often played for laughs, there's an inherent fear established due to the fact that the film presents a ripped-from-the-headlines story that audiences are likely familiar with. 
"Foxcatcher" is billed as a true-crime drama, and although I personally wasn't aware of the events depicted, it's easy to see that Du Pont is unstable and something horrific is to come. 
Channing Tatum is great as Mark, the oblivious lunk caught in Du Pont's depraved world, and as the situation gets more complicated, his performance becomes more layered and meaningful. His relationship with Du Pont gets weirder as the film progresses but the audience is left in the dark to a certain extent; we only know what's essential, and nothing more. It's a quiet, nuanced performance and is easily the best of his career. 
Ruffalo is equally good as his brother Dave, and they both really thrive when they're on screen together; the tension between them is palpable. Carell's performance is a game-changer for the comic actor and he proves that he can more than pull his weight when it comes to drama. While there are certainly comedic elements to the role, he somehow manages to make Du Pont equally terrifying as he is pathetically funny. 
These three lead performances help make "Foxcatcher" incredibly compelling. The film examines very basic questions of human psychology in a way that very few artists have pulled off. What we're left with is a gripping and thought-provoking work that is sure to stick with you.

Steve Carell And Channing Tatum Give Their Best Performances Yet In Thought-Provoking 'Foxcatcher'

The <a href="http://www.filmlinc.com/nyff2014">New York Film Festival</a> is fast approaching, and there's plenty to be excited about.
The festival boasts high-profile world premieres, much-anticipated US debuts as well as a slew of lesser-known works from the world's best filmmakers.
The festival runs September 26th through October 12th and tickets are <a href="http://nyffvwr.easytixs.com/">currently on sale</a>.
For New York City-dwellers looking to attend the festival, here are the films worth your time.
<h3>1. "Gone Girl"</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: Oct. 4
Who's in it: Ben Affleck, Neil Patrick Harris, Rosamund Pike, Missi Pyle, Patrick Fugit
Why to see it: Everybody's talking about the new David Fincher flick, and for good reason. The film's world premiere takes place on the festival's opening night and is already the subject of much <a href="http://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2014/07/the-oscar-race-is-on-gone-girl-to-open-ny-film-festival/374592/">Oscar buzz</a>. The thriller, based on the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Gone-Girl-Gillian-Flynn/dp/030758836X">New York Times bestseller </a>by Gillian Flynn, centers around a man (Ben Affleck) and the mystery surrounding the disappearance of his wife on their fifth wedding anniversary.<a href="http://www.thewire.com/entertainment/2014/07/the-oscar-race-is-on-gone-girl-to-open-ny-film-festival/374592/"></a> Fincher opened the New York Film Festival <a href="http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/2010/27/new-york-film-festival-2010-the-social-network">in 2010</a> with "The Social Network" and went on to win three Oscars.

<h3>2. "Inherent Vice" </h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: Jan. 9, 2015
Who's in it: Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon, Josh Brolin, Jena Malone, Benicio Del Toro, Owen Wilson, Michael K. Williams, Eric Roberts
Why to see it: A new work from auteur Paul Thomas Anderson is a rare event and certainly something to celebrate. PTA's follow-up to 2012's "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1560747/?ref_=nv_sr_1">The Master</a>" comes sooner than expected, as "The Master" was released five long years after "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0469494/?ref_=nv_sr_1">There Will Be Blood</a>," which itself came five years after "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272338/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4">Punch Drunk Love</a>." This adaptation of Thomas Pynchon's <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Inherent-Vice-Novel-Thomas-Pynchon/dp/0143117564">novel of the same name</a> follows a drug-fueled detective through 1970s Los Angeles as he investigates the disappearance of a former girlfriend. "Inherent Vice" marks the first time Anderson has adapted someone else's work. 
<h3>3. "Whiplash"</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: Oct. 10
Who's in it: Miles Teller, JK Simmons
Why to see it: The film follows a young musician (Miles Teller) as he trains under his teacher (J.K. Simmons) to do whatever it takes to become a top jazz drummer. Everybody that has seen "Whiplash" <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/whiplash_2014/">loves it</a>, and early reviews from Sundance indicate that Simmons steals the show in what is being hailed as the "<a href="http://variety.com/2014/film/reviews/sundance-film-review-whiplash-1201061948/">role of his career</a>." Miles Teller, who blew audiences away in "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1714206/?ref_=nv_sr_1">The Spectacular Now</a>," has received <a href="http://chasewhale.com/post/73882028490/sundance-2014-capsule-review-whiplash-or-the-most">equal praise</a> for his work in the film. 
<a href="http://youtu.be/Df1xkYYbYrY">Watch the trailer</a>.
<h3>4. "Birdman" </h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: Oct. 17
Who's in it: Michael Keaton, Naomi Watts, Edward Norton, Emma Stone, and Zach Galifianakis
Why to see it: Alejandro González Iñárritu ("<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0449467/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1">Babel</a>," "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0315733/?ref_=nv_sr_1">21 Grams</a>") long-awaited returns to the director's chair stars Michael Keaton as a once-relevant actor known for playing a superhero who must overcome his personal troubles as he prepares to stage a Broadway play to reclaim his glory. Praise surrounding the film exploded after its debut at <a href="http://variety.com/2014/film/awards/birdman-confirms-its-awards-buzz-at-telluride-1201294789/">Telluride</a> in late August, with many pointing out that the film <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/birdman-and-foxcatcher-leave-telluride-audiences-blissed-out-and-bowled-over/">brilliantly pays homage to</a> (and skewers) filmmaking itself. 
<a href="http://youtu.be/uJfLoE6hanc">Watch the trailer</a>.
<h3>5. "Foxcatcher"</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: Nov. 14
Who's in it: Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, Mark Ruffalo, Sienna Miller, Vanessa Redgrave
Why to see it: Bennett Miller ("<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1210166/?ref_=ttawd_awd_tt">Moneyball,</a>" "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379725/?ref_=ttawd_awd_tt">Capote</a>") is no stranger to Oscar buzz as every single one of his films has been nominated for multiple Oscars. "Foxcatcher" is <a href="http://www.thewrap.com/birdman-and-foxcatcher-leave-telluride-audiences-blissed-out-and-bowled-over/">poised to continue</a> this impressive streak as it <a href="http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-steve-carell-foxcatcher-postponed-release-date-20130926-story.html">finally</a> reaches theaters this fall after debuting at <a href="http://variety.com/2014/film/reviews/cannes-film-review-foxcatcher-1201185646/">Cannes</a> to much acclaim. Based on the true life story of Mark Schultz (Channing Tatum), the movie follows the athlete as he teams up with the eccentric millionaire John du Pont (Steve Carell) to train for the 1988 Seoul Olympics. 
<a href="http://youtu.be/36GVwy9BEZk">Watch the trailer.</a>
<h3>6. "Maps To The Stars"</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: TBA
Who's in it: Julianne Moore, Robert Pattinson, John Cusack, Mia Wasikowsa, Carrie Fisher
Why to see it: While David Cronenberg's later films have veered significantly from his earlier (and completely brilliant) horror films, his uniquely artistic approach ensures that no matter how traditional the plot may seem, things are going to get real weird. His latest film is a satricial look at Hollywood and the idea of celebrity and promsies to be a surreal, bizarre, and definitievly Cronenbergian take on the concept.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwxmnyoofPs">Watch the trailer.</a>
7. "Listen Up, Phillip"
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: Oct. 17
Who's in it: Jason Schwartzman, Elizabeth Moss, Krysten Ritter
Why to see it: "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1255913/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Bored to Death</a>" fans yearning for more of Jason Schwartzman in leading roles should find plenty to enjoy here. Schwartzman stars as Phillip, a young writer who escapes a dwindling relationship and seeks refuge in the summer home of his literary idol where he finally finds time to work on himself. The dark comedy premiered at Sundance earlier this year and has received tons of <a href="http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/listen_up_philip/">rave reviews</a>. 
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzIeZwUdbVA">Watch the trailer.</a>
<h3>8. "Pasolini"</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: TBA
Who's in it: Willem Dafoe
Why to see it: Legendary New York filmmaking icon Abel Ferrara's second feature of the year ("<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2758890/?ref_=nv_sr_1">Welcome To New York</a>" is yet to be released in the US) is not a typical biopic. Willem Dafoe stars as the titular Pier Paolo Pasolini, and rather than showcase the notorious filmmaker's entire backstory, Ferrara chooses to focus only on the last day of his life. The film provides a rare glimpse of an interesting figure in such a way and at such an angle that only Abel Ferrara could pull off. 
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOVDmHmisQw">Watch the trailer.</a>
<h3>9. "Time Out Of Mind"</h3>
<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Official release date: TBA
Who's in it: Richard Gere, Jena Malone
Why to see it: Oren Moverman's third feature ("<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0790712/">The Messenger</a>," "<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1640548/?ref_=nm_knf_i3">Rampart</a>") stars Richard Gere as a homeless man trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter. While that may sound manipulatively sappy on the surface, Moverman has proven that he can handle heavily emotional material, as "The Messenger" had a similarly depressing sounding premise and wound up being incredibly moving. Gere is certainly ripe for an award-worthy performance, and "Time Out Of Mind" seems to be the perfect vehicle for one.
