Damon And Affleck To Produce DC Comics' SLEEPER!

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 09:33 PM PST

As DC Comics scrambles to keep up with Marvel in the comics to movies race they find themselves trying to fill in the time between the Bats and Supes films with almost anything at this point. And since their other superhero properties cannot get off the ground perhaps tackling a different property is in order. Sleeper, the ten year old comic series released under DC's Wildstorm banner has changed hands numerous times. Probably the most famous to this point was Tom Cruise and Sam Raimi. But the project has had a long gestation period and another attempt is being made by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck through their production company Pearl Street Films. Jennifer Todd, the president of Pearl Street, will also produce. "Sleeper" -- set in...

It certainly won't be a language barrier. Here's the official release:November 21, 2013 (New York, NY) - RAM Releasing, the genre shingle under Film Movement (www.filmmovement.com), announced today their acquisition of MOEBIUS, the...

What Should MONTY PYTHON Perform At Their Reunion Show?

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 02:00 PM PST

I have few regrets in my life. One of them is the only opposition I could offer up to my parents' decision to move from England to Canada was to soil my armor (diapers) as I was only a babe at the time. Had they decided to stay and I were still in England today I would stand a greater chance of nabbing a ticket to Monty Python's One-off Reunion Show, Monty Python Live (mostly), at the O2 Arena on July 1st. The remaining Pythons are getting together and they made the official announcement today. They are planning to include Graham Chapman in some shape or form. Other than an urn of ashes, I hope. For those of us unable to attend fear not for the...

To prime the pump, so to speak, a new trailer for the re-release has been prepared, edited by grindhouse aficionado Jason Eisener (Hobo With A Shotgun). As to the film itself: Ms. 45 follows a mute garment-district seamstress - played by the late model/actress/musician/screenwriter Zoë Lund - who, after falling victim to multiple unspeakable assaults, ignites a one-woman homicidal rampage against New York City's entire male population. Residents of major U.S. cities including Los Angeles, New York, Austin, Chicago, Cleveland, Dallas, Denver, Houston, San Francisco and Seattle, now have something to anticipate to help them endure...

Exclusive: Trailer For THE TORRENTE PACKAGE Raises Repulsive And Sleazy To A New Comic High

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 10:00 AM PST

Ah, Torrente. The Spanish cult icon, created and played by Santiago Segura, has gathered a following from around the world -- including filmmaker / contrarian Oliver Stone -- with his comic antics, but is largely unknown in the U.S. Doppelgänger Releasing aims to change that by making all four films featuring the character available for home viewing. From their official statement: The quartet of movies in the Torrente Package -- Torrente: The Dumb Arm of the Law (1998), Torrente 2: Mission in Marbella (2001), Torrente 3: The Protector (2005), and Torrente 4: Lethal Crisis (2011) -- are each written and directed by Segura, who also stars as the repulsive, sleazy and frequently drunk "Torrente."

Review: PHILOMENA, The Transformative Power Of Raw Anger And Anguish

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 09:00 AM PST

I was taught to control my emotions, to tamp down anger when it flared up, to empathize with the other person, and to avoid hurting anyone's feelings, which may explain why I sided so quickly with the titular old lady rather than the whip-smart writer. Raised as a good Catholic in Ireland, young Philomena (Sophie Kennedy Clark) fell for a young, good-looking fellow, and got pregnant in the early 1950s. She was sent to live in a convent, where the nuns took her in but required her to work hard for four years to make up for her "sin" and repay their "kindness." Before her time was up, she watched helplessly as her child was given up for adoption by the nuns. Now a woman...

HE NEVER DIED: Henry Rollins As Blood-Lusty Loner

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 08:01 AM PST

Henry Rollins scares me. The image of him, bare-chested and tattooed, fronting the seminal punk band Black Flag in the early 1980s seared itself into my consciousness, and so I have no trouble believing him as "a mysterious loner who has lived an inexplicably long life fueled by blood lust and filled with crime and violence." That's the official description of the character he plays in He Never Died, an upcoming film from writer/director Jason Krawczyk (The Briefcase). Here's the synopsis: He Never Died follows Jack in his battle with cannibalism and mental sobriety. An exceptionally prolonged life has brought depression and detachment. Jack buys stolen blood from a hospital intern, plays bingo, sleeps fourteen hours a day, watches television six hours a day, and...

Review: NARCO CULTURA, A Collision Between Drugs, Music, And Murder

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PST

It's all fun and games until your children are murdered in the street. A blood-boiling documentary, Narco Cultura explores the intersection of mass murder and pop culture in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, where the murder toll skyrocketed tenfold from 2007 to 2010. The tremendous increase in homicides is laid at the feet of the Mexican government's declaration of war upon drug cartels in 2006, and the subsequent battle for territory instigated by the most powerful cartel in the country. It's a city where crime scene investigators are compelled to wear masks while carrying out their duties in public, for fear that the murderers will take revenge. It's a genuine, growing concern; in one police unit, three of Richi Soto's colleagues have already been gunned down, either...

Anthology Horror Reaches Perverse Extremes In NSFW Trailer for GERMAN ANGST

Posted: 21 Nov 2013 04:00 AM PST

So, how do you up the ante in the current anthology horror movement? Getting Jörg Buttgereit, the director of the infamous Nekromantic to contribute is a hell of a start. But from the looks of this very NSFW trailer for German Angst, directors Michal Kosakowski (Zero Killed) and Andreas Marschall (Masks) are keeping up with Buttgereit's lurid imagination, if not topping it. In this trilogy of "love, sex and death in Berlin" you will see: people on leashes, German tanks, rusty tools, naked writhing bodies and... much worse. Check out the nightmarish carnival of cruelty for yourself below. ...
