Ensemble cast - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Some films have ensemble casts, usually ones that revolve around one large theme, like the The Lord of the Rings or Star Wars movies, or ones that revolve around interrelated themes persistent throughout individual subplots of the characters. Where the group is fully aware of everyone else in the cast, reacting to other movements in the cast, it requires heightened senses and a lot of concentration, with great amount of the focus being on peripheral vision and hearing. Ensemble performance can be recognised by the 'flow' of performance, with scenes flowing together seamlessly, often the piece doesn't contain many props, with one prop doubling as various different objects. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ensemble_cast   (316 words)

3. The greatest ensemble cast in history   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) An ensemble cast may not have been the safest choice in terms of ratings, but it was the most adventurous artistic choice. We do not realize how precious a successful ensemble cast is until we realize how rare it is. There have been numerous films and television series with ensemble casts, but they have always been far outnumbered by films and shows that depended mainly on one or two leading characters. A great ensemble cast requires several characters that are multidimensional and interesting with strongly expressed relationships between the characters so that we maintain interest in all the characters. www.newsradioart.com /Pages/3.GreatestCast.html   (563 words)

This kind of casting become more popular in television series because it allows for flexibilty for writers to focus on different characters in different episodes.

Ensemble cast wrestles with angst, love and life Ensemble cast wrestles with angst, love and life A fine ensemble cast elevates "Friends With Money," a sometimes-insightful character study about life, love and the pursuit of unhappiness. On the other hand, Keener’s catty character is the least appealing and not much of a stretch for the actress, but then, she’s not known for her diversity of roles. www.columbiatribune.com /2006/Apr/20060427Go!001.asp   (654 words)

Writting an ensemble cast movie [Archive] - Film Threat Back Talk Most films the main characters are the device so at least one of them are in every scene, but the classic ensemble cast movies have up to 4-5 minutes of screen time without the leads. I also think that ensemble pieces fail more often than not - to maintain momentum across a half dozen stories you've got to have tremendous skill, and even those that have that skill often misapply it. The undisputed master of ensemble pieces is Robert Altman, and for each great film he makes, there are another three that fail. filmthreat.com /forums/archive/index.php/t-529.html   (1046 words)

Love Goat Films: Goes to the Movies - Poseidon (2006) The movie begins by quickly introducing us to the ensemble cast and giving us minimal information about them (throughout the movie some tidbits are further given about the characters but nothing dramatic) who are all on this New Year’s Eve cruise. No one ever said it was fair who gets to live and die but some times you have to make a choice that may result in your death but let others survive and this is a constant theme among the characters are they fight to survive.

Non-Ensamble Cast Series As I understand it, while it is an "ensemble" game, each episode is all about featuring those with the highest screen presence as stars - this episode anyways. So even if Buffy is not truly an "ensemble" show, as played using PTA around the gaming table, there probably isn't much alternative. No one want to be "supporting cast" and an uneven distribution of SPs cause exactly that. www.indie-rpgs.com /forum/index.php?topic=19737.new   (1716 words)

Ensemble cast the strong backbone of lukewarm 'America's Sweethearts'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) Ensemble cast the strong backbone of lukewarm 'America's Sweethearts' Since Julia Roberts is very much America's sweetheart and since she's currently staring at us from every magazine on the newsstands, one would naturally assume that her new comedy, "America's Sweethearts," might be another star-vehicle-supreme for her. But the good news is that the entire cast around her sparkles like so many diamonds and -- though an uneven, often confused, mixed bag -- the movie gradually comes together to be a fairly hilarious inside-Hollywood farce. seattlep-i.nwsource.com /movies/31982_sweethearts20q.shtml   (782 words)

Ensemble cast or male/female leads? - The Fuselage On another board we are having a debate on whether Lost is a true ensemble cast or if Mathew Fox is the official "lead" of the show. The cast is always listed alphabetically but I believe both Mathew Fox and Evangeline Lilly has been touted as the leads and Kate and Jack as the "lead" characters. I think it's still intended to be an ensemble cast, but undeniably they've made Jack the "lead". www.thefuselage.com /Threaded/showthread.php?t=57868   (1549 words)

'Big Trouble'-- Funny, But Not Cast's Best Work After all, ensemble situation comedies focus on two things-- the ensemble and the situations. Allen, like always, is both funny and personable, and adults will be able to relate to his 'divorced dad just struggling not to let his son down' attitude he carries throughout the film. Unfortunately, while "Big Trouble" may have a cast of talented comedians that keeps the audience's attention, screenwriters Robert Ramsey and Matthew Stone's adaptation of Dave Berry's novel is so lose on plot that the film is far from their best work. www.suite101.com /article.cfm/red_carpet_reviews/90848   (511 words)

Shohreh Aghdashloo has joined the growing ensemble cast of X-Men 3 - Page 5 - The Superhero Hype! Boards   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) So many new yet familiar faces, the draw of the returning cast members, and the lure of the "trilogy" of the Xmen franchise should draw huge crowds initially to this movie in 2006. Well, I'm not say he won't be in it, I'm just making the observation that folks that I know KNOW for sure are scrupulously avoiding the subject, which can be a good or bad thing at this point. I think he's in and the reason their all so closed mouthed about it is cause fox has told them to be.It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't just say he isn't in it if he isn't. www.superherohype.com /forums/showthread.php?p=6483522   (1947 words)

WHOSE LIE IS IT ANYWAY... MODERN DAY ENSEMBLE CAST OF WAR & TERROR They have games such as Hats-where the cast makes up one-liners that go along with whatever hat is on their head at the moment-and the raucous Hoe Down and Irish Drinking Song, which speak for themselves. And in this cast, there are definite examples of good and evil-the fl hats and the white HAT, bad guys and the good GUY-yes, "hat" and "guy" are singular, because George Bush stands alone.

Ensemble cast leads Georgetown revival - - MSNBC.com Nam Y Huh / AP Georgetown's Jeff Green, No. 32, is one member of an ensemble cast that should lead the Hoyas back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2001. A consummate ensemble cast has led Georgetown (16-4, 7-2 Big East) to the No. 15 spot in the rankings in coach John Thompson III’s second season at the Hilltop. The Hoyas have a six-game winning streak and are headed toward their first NCAA tournament bid since 2001, unless upcoming opponents can somehow find a way to figure out which player is going to have the hot hand on any given night. www.msnbc.msn.com /id/11239671   (691 words)

Comedy about swindling 'Heartbreakers' cheats ensemble cast and audience   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17) Comedies about the exploits of con artists and swindlers have been surprising plentiful in the history of American film, and have accounted for a surprising number of classics -- "The Lady Eve," "The Sting," "Bedtime Story" and "The Flim Flam Man," to name just a few. Instead, he's assembled a numbing, endless (123 minutes, which is an eternity for a bad comedy) succession of penis jokes, crass sexual innuendo (including, yes, salacious hints of mother-daughter incest) and slapstick so gross and clumsy it would probably embarrass the Three Stooges. "Heartbreakers" also contains what could well be the year's worst performance by an ensemble cast: Hewitt is harrowingly abrasive and charmless; Hackman -- wheezing and spitting through the movie -- is repulsive beyond human endurance; and Weaver is pathetically miscast as a sex siren. seattlepi.nwsource.com /movies/heartq1.shtml   (618 words)
