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. Keep it locked with MTV Movies for everything there is to know about Sundance.

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

AFTRA, Networks Reach New Three Year Deal

THR.com photo editor Chris Godley was shot by a gunman in Hollywood on Friday morning, but was only grazed by a bullet and not seriously injured in an incident that was captured on video by witnessesand widely circulated on the Internet.our editor recommendsGunman Opens Fire Near Hollywood's ArcLight Theater (Video) A gunman randomly opened fire at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles on Friday morning at about 10:15 a.m. The man was shot and killed by police, who may have been working on a nearby film set. The shooter reportedly fired nine to 12 shots and after running out of bullets, he allegedly pulled out a knife while shouting, "Kill me" and "I want to be killed," the Associated Press has reported. The identity of the gunman has been withheld by authorities. The shooting occurred while Godley, 27, a Hollywood Reporterstaffer since October 2010, was driving into work from his North Hollywood home.Godley's right leg was grazed by a bullet in the incident. Godley said that while he waited at a red light at the intersection of Sunset and Vine, he noticed two men who were ducking behind objects, but he didn't make much of it because they appeared to be joking around. As he entered the intersection -- driving south on Vine -- the gunman fired a shot into a red Honda Civic, shattering a window. At first, Godley thought he was stumbling upon a movie crew that was filming in the area and had neglected to cordon off the intersection. However, Godley said it quickly became apparent that the situation was dire. VIDEO: Gunman Opens Fire Near Hollywood's ArcLight Theater "I processed the information very quickly. I hit my gas pedal and sped through the intersection as fast as I could," Godley said Friday evening. "I knew he was going to take a shot at me. He took a shot and it went through my driver side door, grazed my leg, bounced off of my iPad and went into my passenger side door. It did not come out the other side of the door, so the bullet is in my door." "If he had aimed a little bit better I could just be gone right now. I am still processing all of that. I think it has yet to really set in. -- THR.com photo editor Chris Godley Footage of the incident shows Godley's black 2003 Toyota Tacoma speeding through the intersection as the gunman, clad in jeans and a white undershirt, fires a shot only a few feet from the driver-side window of the pickup truck. Godley said he did not get a good look at the shooter. Another man, driving a Mercedes-Benz, was shot in the jaw and was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. "If he had aimed a little bit better I could just be gone right now," said Godley. "I am still processing all of that. I think it has yet to really set in." After making it past the shooter, Godley continued down Vine to De Longpre Avenue, where he turned right and parked his car. After checking to make sure he wasn't seriously injured, Godley dialed 911. He later returned to the scene, where he spent several hours being interviewed by investigators from the Los Angeles Police Department, who retained his car for examination. Later, at a nearby police station, he was examined by paramedics. Godley said that he remains puzzled by the men who appeared to be having fun as they ducked away from the gunman's attack. "That seemed odd to me at the time and it seems odd to me now." He has not watched footage of the incident. "I think I am going to watch it but not tonight," Godley said. Resting at home on Friday night, Godley said he is still processing the incident. "I'm still pretty numb to the situation right now," he said. "I had a little bit of an awakening in the shower when I really looked at my leg and really kind of processed how close the bullet came to doing a lot more damage than it did."
