"I felt like I had been in the best place tonight, particularly with that award," she continues. "Everyone knows 'California Girls' is a superb song, but it will not alter the world or anything like this. But, 'Firework' in my experience, it feels as though it is a movement.

T Bone Burnett Reflects on 'O Brother Where Art Thou' Soundtrack

Plenty of films have soundtracks that surpass the critical success of their movie, but the album for 'O Brother Where Art Thou' was a whole different monster. Not only did the record sell more than eight million copies worldwide, it won the 2001 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Recently, music producer/archivist T Bone Burnett sat down with HuffPost Culture to discuss his role in picking the music for the film, the process of recording it and, most importantly, whether George Clooney has a good voice. A few of Burnett's choice quotes are below. If you are a big 'O Brother' fan (of the film or movie), head on over to HuffPost Culture to read the entire piece. What it was like working on the film 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?' became much more than a killer gig. It was a fulfillment of a life of chasing down the old music without ever knowing where it was leading me. We were tapping into a beautiful and powerful musical stream. What is often called Bluegrass may have been in the middle of this stream, but it's all part of a long history that includes everyone from Duke Ellington to Lefty Frizzell, from Billie Holiday to Elvis Presley, and maybe most of all, to Louis Armstrong. This stream we explored is the extraordinary music of the last century -- an incredible treasure that comes to us directly from an age when music was made by everyone. It was analogue. It was made before the rise of the machines. On choosing the movie's top song, 'Man of Constant Sorrow' We recorded the music before the movie. The first song we had to get was "Man Of Constant Sorrow." The song is, of course, a standard -- there are probably fifty versions of it. The version we used for our template was the version the Stanley Brothers had done with two singers answering the last line of every verse -- which is, of course, comedic and paradoxical as the tune is about a tore-down, blown-out cat with these other voices attesting to the veracity of his tragic state of affairs. Somehow this song captured the tone of the movie--epic and dead serious on the one hand and comic and affable on the other. On George Clooney singing 'Man of Constant Sorrow' As many people know, Dan Tyminski from Alison Krauss and Union Station sang "Man Of Constant Sorrow" in an original and soulful way on the soundtrack. He also wrote and played the guitar part that gave the song a new life. But just for the record, George Clooney is a very good singer. We'd already recorded Dan singing the song to find an arrangement and, at the very least, give George something to work with. If there had been more time to get George up to speed, he could have sung that song himself.

Patti Smith Adapting Autobiography 'Just Kids' for the Big Screen

Because who better to co-write a script about coming of age in New York City during the '60s and '70s than the guy who wrote 'Star Trek: Nemesis,' Deadline is reporting that screenwriter John Logan is teaming up with punk rock icon Patti Smith to adapt her award-winning memoir 'Just Kids' for the big screen. For those who haven't read the book, 'Just Kids' is about the relationship between Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe as they began discovering their respective careers in music and photography during the '60s and '70s in New York City. For those who don't know about Logan, he's the writer behind 'Gladiator,' 'The Last Samurai,' and the upcoming, yet-to-be-named James Bond movie, 'Bond 23,' among others. Definitely not the likeliest screenwriting duo out there, but if it ends up being anywhere near as good as Smith's National Book Award-winning memoir, we'll be mighty happy. So what do you think of the writing team behind 'Just Kids?' [via Deadline]

House Season 8 Scoop: Cuddy Fallout, New Blood, and a Return to the Show's Roots

Hugh Laurie, House TV writers know the drill: You paint characters into a corner in the season finale and spend the summer plotting how to get the characters out. If only it had been that simple for House creator David Shore this summer.Fall Preview: Get scoop on all your favorite returning shows Besides resolving last year's cliff-hanger - which saw House (Hugh Laurie) drive his car into the living room of ex-girlfriend Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) before escaping to a tropical locale - Shore also had to deal with Edelstein's sudden decision against returning to the show."I didn't paint the corners this year," Shore tells TVGuide.com with a laugh that suggests he's looking on the bright side. "I have to say, I'm surprisingly excited. With the way things unfolded in the off-season, I thought, 'Oh crap; this is not what I wanted. But I'm very pleased with what [we] have worked out."Part of the plan involves sending House to jail and jumping the story ahead by a year. Another includes bringing new blood into Princeton-Plainsboro and shifting the power to characters other than House. Read on for more on the new faces as well as why Shore believes this season returns the show to its roots. Plus: Will this season be the show's last?Hugh Laurie on Lisa Edelstein's House departure: We all miss her very muchWas it hard writing your way out of last year' finale given that you lost a cast member over the summer?Shore: Well, it was different because we had perimeters set for us that weren't ideal, that weren't planned for, and that we were disappointed with. But the good news is we're so bad at planning that we didn't really know how we were going to start this season anyway. So, we came at it the way you should come at it: We said, "Here's what we've got: What are the opportunities here?"And what did you land on?Shore: Bringing in new blood into the hospital is always an opportunity. House is at his best when he's dealing with new people and new situations and making deductions about new people and these situations. So, we're bringing in some new people. We're very excited about it. I certainly think the way we're starting this year is really invigorating and we're going back to our roots a little bit.Odette Annable joins the cast of HouseBut first you have to get House out of jail. Is it safe to assume his sentence is related to driving his car through Cuddy's house, or is there more to it than that?Shore: That's a fair assumption. [But] there's always more psychologically to it.Is he only in jail for that first episode? Shore: I don't want to give away the specifics. But we felt it was important that he pay a price for the way last year ended and for what he did. He certainly did something illegal and dangerous and, I would say, irrational. House is a rational being, and he has to pay a price. But at the same time our desire this year is to have fun. [We want to] explore that, but also to get back to our roots and get back to the cases and the core of our show. So, we are quickly going to get back to a form of our old House.Will having served time in any way affect his ability to practice medicine?Shore: He certainly will be affected, but we don't want to turn this into a legal show. He's got this hanging over his head, but we don't want to turn this into a show about House trying to get his license back and the legalities of all that. Let's get House back in the hospital and get him practicing.Even though you're looking forward, are you at all going to address Cuddy's absence?Shore: There's going to be an acknowledgement, but it's not going to be a big story about her because unfortunately we don't have her to do that story with.Do you think you'll ever have Lisa come back for a proper Cuddy wrap-up?Shore: Eventually, that may be appropriate. Given that she was gone, we decided it was better to not just have her come back to leave. Down the road that might be more appropriate. It didn't seem right now.You do have Robert Sean Leonard, who was very much at risk in that final scene as well. How will the Wilson-House dynamic change?Shore: You'll have to watch the episodes, but certainly Wilson doesn't just simply forgive and forget.Charlyne Yi joins House as series regularLet's go back to these new doctors. Tell us more about Charlyne Yi's character.Shore: She's a bit Old World. Her parents are immigrants and she has respect for their ways. She believes in hard work and earning what you get and getting ahead. She's very deferential, but she also has another side that we'll encourage her to explore.Charlene's comedy plays off her awkwardness. Will you play use that or go against it?Shore: That's what attracted us to her. I don't think she'll object if I say she's an unusual character That is her comedy, and that is her. We'd be idiots to not embrace that.And House meets Odette Annable's character while he's in jail, right?Shore: They meet in jail and they develop a connection and then the price is paid. ... She's working at the prison. She doesn't have to work at the prison. She's choosing to work at the prison and that says everything about her.You said this year goes back to basics but also introduces new blood. Isn't that kind of a contradiction?Shore: I think that's the best way to go back to basics. This allows us to take a fresh look at who House is, to get fresh eyes on his character and how unusual he is. I think that's the essence of it. Through these new characters' viewpoints, we get a jaded view of House.What about House's non-work relationships? Is he still a married man?Shore: The green card marriage? We don't deal with that. He may be [married], but we don't deal with that. You know, everything has moved on. The world's changed. House is still House, and he tries to put the world back together.So House won't be in a romantic relationship this season?Shore: I don't want [the show] to be about relationships in the sense of who's sleeping with who. At least not in the foreseeable future. It's about relationships in terms of how these people relate to each other. And the impact House's world view has on all the people around him.House's Jesse Spencer signs deal to return in Season 8What can we expect from those people around him this season?Shore: At the end of last year, Taub (Peter Jacobson) had two women pregnant and we are going to deal with that this year. We are also going to deal with how Foreman (Omar Epps) and Chase's (Jesse Spencer) lives have changed over the intervening time. House has been in jail for quite some time, so everybody's lives have moved forward and that gives us opportunities.Are you suggesting the power dynamics of the team have shifted?Shore: I think that's a very fair assessment.How much will we see of Thirteen (Olivia Wilde)?Shore: You'll see her early this season. You won't see a lot of her. [Olivia] wants to do more movies, and we've acceded to that request with some sadness, but I'm happy for her.Fox President Kevin Reilly has said this could be the last season of House. What are your thoughts on that?Shore: I think the show itself potentially has life left in it, but I think a lot of that will depend on a lot of things. There is a chance that this will be the last year. Everybody's hoping it's not, but if it is, we want to do it right.Have you begun planning an endgame in case this is the last year?Shore: To some extent, yes. But it's clearly a contingency right now.Most creators don't stay with a show this many seasons. Are you personally tired after seven seasons?Shore: I'm tired of the job. I'm not tired of his character. So, what do you want to accomplish with House's character this season? Will we see any change in him?Shore: I know this is a crazy answer, but I don't want to see him change. I want to see him striving to change, and that what I've wanted to see him do since Day One. I want to see him striving for happiness. I like him and I find him interesting. What I want to do and what I enjoy doing is seeing him in situations I haven't seen him in before and seeing how he reacts to those situations and see how he takes those situations.House returns Monday, Oct. 3 at 9/8c on Fox.

Universal To Remake 'Phasma Ex Machina' With 'Cup Of Tears' Helmer Gary Shore

EXCLUSIVE: Universal Pictures has acquired remake rights to Phasma ex Machina, the small independent feature directing debut by Matt Osterman that was the toast of the genre film festival circuit. The studio acquired the project as a pitch for a horror movie called Our House, and the studio has attached Gary Shore to direct the remake and Nathan Parker to write it. John Davis is the producer along with Nick Spicer of XYZ Films. Shore and Parkers are already collaborating on a feature version of Cup of Tears for Universal and Working Title, based on the stylized samurai short film that Shore directed. That short has created heat and prompted Universal to make several deals with him. I'm told that the hope is for Shore to direct Phasma ex Machina, potentially follow with an adaptation of the James Patterson book series Maximum Ride, and then helm a feature version of Cup of Tears. Phasma ex Machina, which was retitled Ghost From the Machine when it was acquired by Screen Media and released on DVD and VOD, ponders the grey area between life and death and how science can bridge the two. The protagonist is a young man who is raising his little brother after their parents die in a car crash. His desire to bring them back prompts him to invent a machine designed to be a conduit to the grey beyond, and his success proves dangerous to himself and everyone around him. Here is a trailer for the original film, followed by one for Shore's Cup of Tears. Shore's repped by CAA and Anonymous Content, Parker by WME: Here's Cup of Tears:
