From Oscar To Tosca
By now we're used to big screen hits like Legally Blonde being turned into Broadway musicals, but here's something a little different.
The New York City Opera has commissioned a top composer to turn Brokeback Mountain, the short story that inspired the movie starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, into an opera.
The 2005 film, based on Annie Proulx's 1997 love story about two ranch-hands, picked up three Oscars, plus a Best Actor nomination for Heath.
Now the city's Opera, one of the world's leading companies, has asked 70-year-old Charles Wuorinen to adapt it for the stage.
"Ever since encountering Annie Proulx's extraordinary story, I have wanted to make an opera on it," Wuorinen said in a statement.
It is scheduled to premiere in 2013.

Lindsay Lohan - Lohan Looking Towards Marriage And Kids
LINDSAY LOHAN is putting her troubled past behind her once and for all - and is already looking ahead to marriage and babies.
The Mean Girls star, 21, is attempting to reinvent herself and shed the wild partygirl reputation her two 2007 arrests for driving under the influence and stints in rehab have earned her.
Looking to her future, she's already decided she wants Dolce + Gabbana to design her wedding dress.
She says, "Oh my god, they're such good people to be around. And the way their dresses fit. If I get married, I would definitely want them to do the gown."
And she admits her love of all things European has fuelled her dream to bring up her future kids on the continent - thousands of miles away from her native New York.
She adds, "I love Europe. I love the culture. It's so diverse. If I lived in Europe, I'd definitely speak three languages, and I'd definitely want to raise my children there too.
"Well, we're not going to get into that. But when I talk with my really close friends, that's what I always say."

Although Carolyn Hester's talent was tenuous, she was an important, if marginal, figure of the early '60s folk revivification, singing traditional corporeal with a high voice in the manner of Joan Baez and Judy Collins (though with less bid). She is likewise remembered for brief musical associations with Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, and Richard Farina, as well as having her early albums produced by music legends Norman Petty (world Health Organization had produced Holly), Tom Clancy, John Hammond, and John Simon. Some of her early and mid-1960s work points, if simply of all time so slenderly, in directions that would lead to folk-rock. Hester herself was unable to make it as a folk-rocker disdain a brief try, and erratically went into psychedelic music for a mates of albums earlier mostly drifting out of the occupation in the 1970s and eighties. In the '80s, she was a wise man for budding talent Nanci Griffith (whose vocals have got been compared to Hester's), and appeared on Griffith's Other Voices, Other Rooms album.
Innate in Texas, Hester touched to New York in 1955 to get into music and playing. However, she would number one record for Norman Petty at his studios in Clovis, New Mexico, non far from Lubbock, Texas, where her parents were living in the late 1950s. Her number one album, Scarlet Ribbons, was produced by Petty in 1957, and plant expiration on Coral Records. In 1958, she did an unissued sitting in Clovis with Holly, Jerry Allison of the Crickets, and George Atwood that would be captivating to hear if it e'er emerges, as it was rare for family line and rock musicians of the period to collaborate. She was a friend of Holly's as good, although his influence on her subsequent music is not also audible, other than on her multiple versions of his "Solitary Tears."
In 1960 she made her instant album, Carolyn Hester, for Tradition, the label run by the Clancy Brothers. This cast her very much in the thick of the family line revival, including such standards of the apparent motion as "The House of the Rising Sun" and "She Moves Through the Fair, " song dynasty in her high, almost wobbly and girlish part. In the early 1960s she was in brief married to writer and folk music singer-songwriter Richard Farina, wHO became well-disposed with Bob Dylan shortly after Dylan's arrival in New York. While transcription her third album (too, bewilderingly, coroneted Carolyn Hester) for Columbia and producer John Hammond in September 1961, she invited Dylan, then well-nigh unidentified, to dally harp on a few cuts. His play on the album helped bring him to the attention of Hammond, wHO sign-language Dylan to Columbia as a solo creative person shortly subsequently.
Spell other performers of the early-1960s folk revival made great strides fore in gross sales and influence--including Dylan, Baez, and Collins--Hester remained comparatively obscure. She sour down a fortune to manikin a family line trio with Peter Yarrow and Paul Stookey, offered by manager Albert Grossman; that position went to Mary Travers, and the triplet found stardom as Peter, Paul & Mary. In hindsight her two Columbia albums may have opened ears up to the possibilities of phratry musicians recording with bands, as they included contributions by Bill Lee on bass, future Dylan sideman Bruce Langhorne on guitar, and level light drums on a cover of Buddy Holly's "Lonesome Tears" (non released until 1995). However, in projecting only to traditional material, preferably than application songs by contemporary writers or writing anything herself, Hester was falling behind the folk curve.
Subsequently her irregular record album, Hester touched to Dot, and began transcription over again with Petty in Clovis. These 1964-65 recordings, with a lot including George Tomsco of the Fireballs on guitar, inched a little toward folk-rock without actually acquiring there, also including some covers of material by electric current phratry singer-songwriters like Tom Paxton and Mark Spoelstra. Through his friend Hester, some other Petty transcription creative person, Jimmy Gilmer (wHO recorded with the Fireballs and had a #1 rack up in 1963 with "Gelt Shack"), met Paxton and was influenced to record some of Paxton's songs on his 1965 Folkbeat album. (The Fireballs got their net big strike with a cover of Paxton's "Nursing bottle of Wine" in 1968.) However, the Tex-Mex folk-rock effectual, as produced by Norman Petty and performed by Gilmer, the Fireballs, and Carolyn Hester, never did form a substantive encroachment.
In 1966, Hester was re-signed to Columbia by John Hammond. Although she made a good act of recordings at that place with producer John Simon (known for his work with the Band, Big Brother & the Holding Company, and others), simply deuce singles were released. One of these, "Other Morning, " was a clean good commercial-grade art object of pop-folk-rock, just Hester didn't seem terribly well-suited to galvanic medicine. Other Columbia recordings, near of which were not released until 1995 on the Good Companion anthology, show her casting around for management, operative through and through material by Tim Hardin, Jackson Frank, and Cat Stevens; pickings a pang at the Beatles' "Penny Lane"; and even doing an odd cover of Ravi Shankar's "Majhires" that verged on psychedelic music.
In the late 1960s, Hester made the unexpected actuate to psychedelic music as share of the Carolyn Hester Coalition, world Health Organization recorded a mates of little-known albums for Metromedia. These were erratic merely non half-bad, interspersing updates of traditional corporeal like "East Virginia" and Ed McCurdy's "Net Night I Had the Strangest Dream" with moody and fuzzed folk-rockers. Hester too did some recording for Decca, RCA, and Capitol, and formed the Outpost judge with her husband, jazz David Blume. With Blume, she ran an ethnical dance golf-club in Los Angeles, and she continues to record and tour at times. She was seen dueting with Nanci Griffith on Bob Dylan's "Boots of Spanish Leather" on a nationally air tribute to Dylan at Madison Square Garden in the nineties.
Spacey fears cast have become gamblers
Kevin Spacey has joked that he fears his latest movie has turned his co-star Josh Gad into a gambling addict.
In the fact-based film '21' Spacey plays a mentor to a group of trained card-counting mathematician whiz-kids who subsequently took Vegas casinos for millions in winnings.
According to Contactmusic.com Spacey said: "I think we might've made a few compulsive gamblers. I think Josh Gad needs an intervention at this point because he's a mad man."
Speaking about filming in Las Vegas, Spacey added: "I didn't gamble much while I was there, but we were there for a month or so and I know some of the crew did get into some trouble and some of the actors couldn't resist going out and trying to see if they could actually count the decks... I don't think they did too well."
