Jason Gorber's Cineruminations: STAR WARS, Kurosawa, and a Galaxy to be Explored

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 02:56 PM PST

Today a rumor - since denied by the man himself - hit that Zack Snyder, he of 300, Watchmen and the upcoming Man of Steel projects, is set to direct one of the offshoot Star Wars films.  Though Snyder says he is not involved - and only time will tell if he's telling the truth - the report raises some interesting options for future directions of the franchise.When the news of the Disney Sale hit, Mousehouse chairman Bob Iger hinted that there would be more than the "canonical" three films added to the slate, that other projects withing the SW galaxy would also be part of the project for keeping the stories alive far pass the conclusion of the main Skywalker story line.The reports from...

It's A Trap! Snyder Says No STAR WARS

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 02:21 PM PST

[Snyder says nope, no Star Wars movies of any sort on his plate.]Are you ready for the Star Wars franchise to branch out a bit? Because, while the animated Star Wars world has been embracing 'side' stories and parts of the cosmology outside of the principal Skywalker storyline for years now, the live action world is about to do the same.What's coming? ABC - who, like Lucasfilm, are owned by Disney - have already acknowledged that they are looking at the long gestating live action television series Lucasfilm has been developing over the past several years. And now Vulture brings word that 300 and Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder is developing a live action Star Wars feature that will most likely fall outside of...

Meet The Crew Of GHOST TEAM ONE In First Trailer

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 01:00 PM PST

Slamdance is getting paranormal with the arrival of Scott Rutherford and Ben Peyser's horror comedy Ghost Team One.In order to impress a girl, two roommates set out to make a documentary about a murder that took place in their house decades ago.  The girl thinks that the victim's ghost still resides there, and the two guys think that making a movie with her will get them laid.  But after setting cameras up around the house, the legitimately supernatural occurrences that follow make it apparent that the ghost is not only real, but that she's a vengeful Vietnamese madame from the 1930's that's become smitten with our guys.We shared the first stills from the film a few days back and those have now been followed with...

Sundance 2013 Preview: The Competition Slates

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 09:00 AM PST

If you've been hanging out around these parts, then you probably know the Sundance Film Festival is just around the corner. We've got our trusty series of previews leading up to Thursday's festival kickoff all queued up. We're starting things out by taking a look at all four of the main competitions: US Dramatic, US Documentary, World Cinema Dramatic, and World Cinema Documentary. Sundance is the festival of discovery and it's always a bit of a guessing game as to which films will break through. God knows how many times we'll hear "...this year's Beasts of the Southern Wild," during the following weeks. We'll take our chances and walk you through a few of the titles that have caught our eye from each section....

Gorber's Epic Guillermo del Toro Interview, Part 1: Toronto, Hitchcock, Short Films and More

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 08:00 AM PST

When I received notice that Guillermo del Toro would be back in town to talk about his latest project, Mama, I scoffed when it showed that we were to be granted 15 minutes for a roundtable. GDT is one of the world's great conversationalists, and I knew that we'd quickly burn up a quarter of an hour before we even got started. I wasn't prepared, however, for how generous with his time del Toro proved to be. It's one of life's great pleasures to engage with an artist with the wit and generosity of spirit that GDT exhibits, and he never seems to be playing any particular angle, just genuinely pleased to be discussing some of his favourite things.With a conversation running a full 90...

Do You Dare Witness The Horrors Awaiting In THE LEGEND OF BEAVER DAM?

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 07:40 AM PST

Look at those children. They are not happy children. No, sadly, they have come to learn all too intimately that the 'legend' of Beaver Dam - a horrible killer named Stumpy Sam - is no legend at all. They've also learned that he has a catchy theme tune.Yes, if you've been around these parts for any length of time then you already know that I'm talking about Jerome Sable and Eli Batalion's hit horror musical The Legend Of Beaver Dam - a raucous crowd favorite at Sundance, Toronto, Sitges and more than seventy other festivals around the world. The duo are back at the horror musical game now with their debut feature Stage Fright - starring Minnie Driver and Meat Loaf - currently in post...

Have The Golden Globes Just Made Themselves Relevant? ARGO Fans May Think So ...

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 07:00 AM PST

Not good enough to be considered for an Oscar but good enough to win the Golden Globes? That's the case for Ben Affleck and Argo, the true life political thriller picking up Best Director and Best Picture (Drama) at the Golden Globe awards after being considered one of the highest profile snubs of the Oscar nominations, where it is one of nine films in the running for Best Picture but was passed over entirely for a Best Director nomination. And, weirdly, after years of being equal parts loved and mocked for a string of bizarre decisions the Globe picks this year are - relatively speaking - downright sensible. Check the complete list of winners below:Supporting Actor, Movie: Christoph Waltz, Django Unchained Supporting Actress, Series, Miniseries...

A GOOD DAY TO DIE HARD Confirms Film Rating in New TV Ad

Posted: 14 Jan 2013 06:00 AM PST

Fox has confirmed that A Good Day to Die Hard will be rated R in the United States by advertising the rating on television. The new TV ad for the movie displays the official "R" rating box at the very end, though it's lacking the usual description of why it was assigned that rating. (Recent examples: "Strong grisly violence and language throughout" for Texas Chainsaw and "Strong violence and language" for Gangster Squad.) That confirms an earlier report by Collider. The TV spot plays like a "best of" from the earlier trailers, packing as many explosions and as much breaking glass as possible into 30 seconds. In view of the rating, however, I was hoping that we'd hear Bruce Willis say "Yippee Ki-Yay Mother---" with...
