Richard Gere On 'Arbitrage': 'All Adrenaline, Cocaine Rush'

You might think Arbitrage is a staid affair, one more film about financial shenanigans in a long line of them each one about men with expensive suits and bankrupt morals, about buying low and selling high, about the money, money, money. Well, it is about all those things. But as Richard Gere put it to MTV News before the movies premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, its also about the cocaine rush of success. Hes not kidding. Gere plays Robert Miller, a billionaire hedge fund manager who seemingly has the perfect life, the perfect family, even the perfect mistress. That is, until he turns 60 and the fact that hes been running a massively fraudulent empire is about to be exposed. If this all sounds a bit familiar, thats no mistake. You just need to know Bernie Madoff and Teddy Kennedy, Gere said. That's all you need to know. He's never had any failures, he added. It's all success. It's all adrenaline, cocaine rush of success. If you say so, Mr. Gere. Which leads us to wonder, did the actor go method for the role, engaging in some of these drug-fueled escapades to portray Miller? "My whole life has been that, so it's very easy for me [to play], he cracked. I didn't have to think about that! Did we mention that Richard Gere is awesome? While were at it, well also mention that Arbitrage premiered on a snowy Saturday in Park City, UT to positive reviews and suggestions that the film has strong commercial potential. For Gere, whos making his maiden Sundance voyage, its almost as if, in the mountains of Utah, hes never had a failure. The 2012 Sundance Film Festival is officially under way, and the MTV Movies team is on the ground reporting on the hottest stars and the movies everyone will be talking about in the year to come.

Maestro for Fellini, 'Godfather' gets centennial treatment

'The Godfather: Part II'Concerts around the world are marking the start of the centennial year for Nino Rota, the Italian composer whose music for "Romeo and Juliet," "The Godfather" and numerous Federico Fellini films made him famous.Rota (1911-1979) would have turned 100 on Dec. 3, and orchestras from Norway to Malaysia are scheduling tributes, performing everything from the whimsical "La Dolce Vita" and the wacky march from "8 1/2" to his poignant score for "Romeo and Juliet" and the Sicilian-inspired music for "The Godfather," whose "Part II" score won him his only Oscar."Nino Rota was a romantic, a 19th-century composer transplanted by destiny into the 20th century," says Franco Sciannameo, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who has written two books about Rota's music. "He was suited to the cinema because he had incredible facility with the short form, the three-minute piece."He did 16 films with director Fellini, including "La Strada," "La Dolce Vita," "8 1/2," "Juliet of the Spirits" and "Amarcord," and his lighthearted tunes -- often like circus marches -- relate directly to Fellini's notion of "life as circus" and his obsession with clowns, says Sciannameo. Rota's 150 films also included collaborations with King Vidor ("War and Peace") and Luchino Visconti ("The Leopard").The original "Godfather" score caused a brief scandal in 1972 when it was revealed that its love theme actually originated in a 1958 Italian film; Rota's Oscar nomination was withdrawn. But that kind of self-borrowing wasn't unusual."Rota never threw anything away," Sciannameo says. "The same music floats from films to operas, ballet to concert works."Return to MUSIC FOR SCREENS: WINTER 2012 Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com
