Luckily for all the already-lucky folks hanging out on the Croisette, Lawless is screening at the at the Cannes Film Festival and has been received positively. Those of us not at Cannes have to wait until late August to see John Hillcoat's adaptation of The Wettest Country in the World. To tide us over, though, there are two new clips from the film online now, both featuring a rather intimidating Tom Hardy.
Dallas Richard Hallam and Patrick Horvath are the writing / directing duo behind Entrance, an indie, slow-burn horror film / psychological thriller. It’s a slasher film in which you might not even realize it’s a slasher film until you’re a good deal of the way through it. Entrance is about Suzy, played by Suziey Block (The Island), a lonely young woman in Los Angeles who begins to develop a growing case of anxiety and uneasiness living in the city. The movie is about the limits of our perception, how things lurking in our periphery of our lives can lead to horrific conclusions; and it’s about how Suzy fell out of love with the city of LA but the city wouldn’t let her go. It is also one of the most unique and unnerving films I’ve seen in a quite a while. Entrance is now playing in theaters, as well as IFC Midnight Cable VOD and Digital Outlets (SundanceNOW, iTunes, Amazon Streaming, XBOX Zune, Playstation Unlimited).
I recently had the chance to speak with Directors Dallas Richard Hallam and Patrick Horvath about Entrance. The directors spoke about where the idea for the film came from, what films and filmmakers influenced them, creating tension and anxiety for the audience, their metaphor for Los Angeles, sound work, and their upcoming project.
The third official poster for The Dark Knight Rises has appeared online. As you know, Batman is exceptionally good at brooding and his home city of Gotham is exceptionally good at coming apart at the seams. Both of these things are happening on the new one-sheet, with Batman a-brooding and Gotham going up in flames.
Here's a Moonrise Kingdom-based treat, even for those unfortunate moviegoers who can find no joy in the fantastically detailed cinematic worlds of Wes Anderson. Said treat is a new video featurette that does include new material from the film but is mostly Bill Murray hanging out on the set and riffing about the movie like the world's foremost smartass.
Though it may not be a prequel in exactly the manner we expect, Prometheus still takes place in the Alien universe, and as such it requires a corporate shill willing to sell out the characters we actually care about. This time, in the rich tradition of the Aliens human dicksplash Carter Burke, Charlize Theron plays Meredith Vickers, a representative of Weyland-Yutani predecessor Weyland Industries.
A quartet of new behind the scenes images from The Amazing Spider-Man have emerged online.
While the second full-length trailer released this month displayed plenty of CGI webslinging, one way in which director Marc Webb and co. are distancing the reboot from the previous films by Sam Raimi is by utilizing an even greater amount of live stunt work for Peter Parker's preferred mode of transport. These images focus on that stunt-y business, with Andrew Garfield and his stunt double William Spencer on set doing Spider-Man stuff.
It's been five years since Paul Thomas Anderson's last film, the magnificent There Will Be Blood, so forgive me if The Master incites perhaps too much anticipation. It's the latest movie from the writer-director of Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, and Hard Eight (aka Sydney) though, so yeah, excitement is entirely justified. As to prove it, the first official footage from The Master has debuted online, and damn if it isn't every shade of promising.
Earlier this month, we saw the first trailer for Gangster Squad, showing off all kinds of coolness as a group of incorruptible cops in 1949 Los Angeles form a covert group to battle the corrosive influence of Mickey Cohen, a Brooklyn-born criminal who brought East Coast-style organized crime to sunny LA.
In order to remind you that Gangster Squad is a movie that includes some good looking people in some good looking outfits, as well as Sean Penn shooting a tommy gun, Warner Bros has released four new images from the film.
It's battle between the impossibly dominant alpha males from both sides of the pond. British spy and unstoppable ladies' man James Bond got his first Skyfall teaser trailer in the middle of the night. Now, San Diego's finest newscaster is proving that he, and by extension America, are kind of a big deal, as next year's Anchorman sequel now has not one, but two teaser trailers online. That's right. Two.
The very first teaser trailer for Skyfall has arrived online, bright and early for the Britons in James Bond's native soil, in the middle of the night for those of us in the colonies. The trailer's coming was announced last week when the teaser poster was unveiled, now it's here to provide our first real look at footage from the twenty-third cinematic outing of Ian Fleming's world-class spy and lover of ladies the world over.
