| Anchor Bay And Raven Banner Acquire Effects Vet Paul Jones` Debut BUZZKILL Posted: 20 May 2013 04:00 AM PDT  It`s the May Two-Four weekend here in Canada; named so because it is a long weekend and a two-four is a case of beer; which we Canadians consume many of on a long weekend - not that we need an excuse. So excuse while we`re a couple days behind on this. Anchor Bay UK and Canada, along with our friends at Raven Banner Entertainment, acquired the Canadian and UK rights for veteran effects creator Paul Jones` directorial debut Buzzkill. "We are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Anchor Bay, from Canadian distribution of acquired titles to our own in-house productions", said Raven Banner managing partner James Fler.Anchor Bay Canada general manager Rob Herholz added: "Buzzkill represents a great collaboration between Raven Banner, Anchor Bay Canada and...

| Hey New Zealand! Ant Timpson, Dark Sky Films And The NZFC Want To Make Your Horror Movie! Posted: 20 May 2013 03:00 AM PDT  So. You live in New Zealand. Which is entirely not a bad thing. You'll never run out of lamb chops. You are the envy of all in Nerdom because you, and everyone else on the North and South islands, live in The Shire. And you almost, always, win in Rugby, which outside of North America is a really big deal. But. You love horror movies. And aside from a few enormous standouts from the past couple decades the NZ isn't really known as a hotbed of horror production. But you got this really awesome idea for a horror film and wish someone would just give you a bag of money to make it. Well, it turns out ABCs of Death producer Ant Timpson has a bag...

| Learning from the Masters of Cinema: Henri-Georges Clouzot's THE MURDERER LIVES AT 21 Posted: 20 May 2013 02:00 AM PDT  While Henri-Georges Clouzot is best remembered for many of his later films, including The Wages of Fear and Diabolique, the French filmmaker's 1942 debut has gone largely unseen by Western audiences until now. The Murderer Lives at 21 (L'Assassin Habite au 21), based on the novel by Belgian author Stanislas-Andre Steeman, is in fact a sequel to Georges Lacombe's The Last of Six, released a year earlier. That film also starred Pierre Fresnay and Suzy Delair, and was adapted by Clouzot for the screen. In fact, it was his dissatisfaction with the way his script was directed that inspired Clouzot to become a director himself. At the time of the film's production, World War II was in full swing and France was under the occupation of... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
| Korean Box Office: IRON MAN 3 Makes It 4 During Crowded Weekend Posted: 20 May 2013 01:00 AM PDT  Business was strong again during the mid-May holiday weekend but local fare still found itself at a loss to match Hollywood's stream of tentpoles.

| Cannes 2013 Review: BORGMAN Fiendishly Recounts The Time The Devil Went Up To Holland Posted: 19 May 2013 10:00 AM PDT  The titular character of Alex van Warmerdam's Borgman does not have horns, nor does he command grotesque demons spawned from hellfire. Emaciated, clothed in rags with long hair and a beard, he actually looks a lot like Jesus at first. But since he's being hunted by a priest with a rifle when we first meet him, it seems pretty safe to assume that he's more likely the exact opposite of the son of God. The gun doesn't do much good, and while some of the priest's posse has a bit more luck with a spear, Borgman's underground clubhouse type lair, complete with a periscope and escape tunnel, gives him the upper hand from square one. Off he flees through the woods, and eventually, to the... [Read the whole post on twitchfilm.com...] |
