Horton Foote strikes again, with a warm and thoughtful tale of life as it was lived in East Texas in 1950. Geraldine Page won an Oscar for her unguarded portrait of Carrie Watts, a woman who has outlived her peers and been uprooted from an ideal hometown of her youth. Her trip to recover her life becomes a bittersweet acknowledgment that some things just need to be accepted with as much grace as can be mustered.

There have been rumours since Skyfall was first announced that Adele would be singing (and writing) its theme tune – compounded by her appearance on Jonathan Ross's show in September 2011 – and now, thanks to Twitter and Ms. Adkins' cameraphone, it looks like Adele will indeed be using her multi-award-winning pipes to bring Skyfall's opening sequence to life.As eagle-eyed vision possessors will notice, the composers are Adele herself – that's A . Adkins, by the by – and Paul Epworth, the producer and co-writer of her hit single Rolling In The Deep.The other name on the sheet above,...

The song will be arranged by British music producer Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Cee Lo Green, Florence and the Machine) and composer J.A.C. Redford.

Skyfall, the 23rd movie in the beloved spy series, will once again star Daniel Craig and follows Bond as his loyalty to M (Dame Judi Dench) is tested as her past comes back to haunt her. The film is set to hit theaters in the U.S. Nov. 9, 2012.

Adele, 24, follows a long line of acclaimed musicians to have performed past Bond theme songs, including: Paul McCartney, Carly Simon and Duran Duran.

The song Skyfall...

Adele has posted a photograph of what appears to be the sheet music for the upcoming theme to James Bond movie Skyfall. The title on the cover of the booth copy suggests that the theme will be called 'Skyfall' and not, as had been suggested, 'Let The Sky Fall'. As reported, the track has been written by Adele together with producer Paul Epworth, with arrangements by Epworth and Jac Redford. Lyrics of the song reportedly include: "Let the sky fall/ Let it crumble/ We will stand tall/And face it all/ together." Showbiz 411 has described the track as an "ominous, dramatic ballad" with "lots of gorgeous horn flourishes". (more)...

Back in 1992, Kenny Ortega teamed up with Disney and songwriters Alan Menken and J.A.C. Redford to make an original movie musical about the newsboy strikes of 1899. All the elements were in place for a smash hit. The film starred up-and-comer Christian Bale. Director/choreographer Ortega had already choreographed dance sequences in highly successful projects like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Dirty Dancing, and Pretty in Pink. Menken and Redford were established Disney composers having written some of the studio's most memorable songs of recent years. Yet when Newsies hit theaters, the film performed poorly both critically and financially. It was written off as a misfire with Roger Ebert calling the music forgettable and the story “warmed-over Horatio Alger.” How is it then that 20 years later, this seemingly unexceptional movie has transformed into a cult classic of the 90s with a hit stage adaptation and rabid fan base? What changed in 20 years?...

Once upon a time, Newsies was a movie musical starring Christian Bale that flopped at the box office and with critics when it was released by The Walt Disney Company in 1992. Today, Newsies is a lauded Broadway musical smash starring Jeremy Jordan in the role played by Bale in the film, which despite failure inspired a passionate cult of fans who call themselves “Fansies.” No one is more surprised by this turn of events than Bale himself. “These things never make any sense,” the Oscar-winning actor and Hollywood’s current Batman told EW in a recent interview. “I’m incredibly happy for them.
