I was talking about how damn intimate and sexy that was and one day I would hope to do the same for my wife (whomever and wherever you are). I divulge to you a desired aspect of a non-existent romance to tell you this. Scott Adkins and Randy Couture will be starring in a similar kind of film called A Distant Shore.Described as being in the vein of Dead Calm and The Grey, the story centers around a couple who sails into the ocean to commit...

US Trailer For Studio Ghibli's FROM UP ON POPPY HILL Posted: 04 Feb 2013 08:30 AM PST ![](http://twitchfilm.com/assets_c/2013/02/PoppyHillUSPoster-thumb-200x200-36607.jpg) Though it has taken a little while to arrive on local shores, Miyazaki Goro's sophomore film, From Up On Poppy Hill, hits US screens in March and fans of the studio would do well to check it out. Much more in line with the quieter, more dramatically focused titles in the Ghibli canon - films like Only Yesterday, for example - than the more fantasy oriented titles From Up On Poppy Hill is a lovely little tale that marks a major step forward for the younger Miyazaki.From Academy Award(R) winner Hayao Miyazaki and director Goro Miyazaki comes this uniquely inspired coming-of-age story. Set in Yokohama in 1963, as Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the...

SXSW Doc Selection REWIND THIS Offers Up A New Trailer Posted: 04 Feb 2013 08:00 AM PST ![](http://twitchfilm.com/assets_c/2013/02/RewindThis-thumb-200x200-36606.jpg) There is a compelling argument to be made that nothing has had a larger impact on the film world throughout its entire existence than the VHS tape. Not the arrival of color. Not the arrival of sound. Nothing. Because while those factors certainly added to the viewing experience they did so while leaving the entire structure of the industry exactly as it had always been. But VHS? Home video changed everything in ways that people are still trying to figure out.And that revolution is the topic of SXSW selected documentary Rewind This, a project which I actually appear in though I have yet to see how. But you can get your first taste of where the filmmakers are going with this along with a generous...

Timed almost perfectly with a power outage at the NOLA Superdome, I was on air talking about the Walken/Pacino/Arkin buddy pic Stand Up Guys, Warm Bodies, and Bullet To The Head.While the Skype setup at the broadcast end kind of made me look like something out of Ringu, you at least get to see a bit of the custom football-shaped cupcakes that were made for the gatheringClick image below to launch player Do not adjust your set......

And a project very much worth keeping an eye on is director Tommy Ipsen's Exodus. Produced by Richard Georg Engström at TSOMM Pictures with support from the Danish Film Institute Exodus is a proposed sci-fi fantasy project for multi media platforms (film, tv series, games, novels) currently wrapping a feature film pilot to present at the Berlin Film Festival 2013 starring Thomas Chaanhing, Cyron Melville (A Royal Affair, The Killing), Brigitte Nielsen (yes, the former Mrs Stallone), Matias Varela (Snabba Cash / Easy Money) and Kristofer Hivju who starred in the remake of...
