The outsider Lasse is invited into the pack. A world of beauty and temptation lies ahead of him. But danger awaits like a predator in the dark.A short teaser for the 27 minute film has arrived...

DOCTOR PROCTOR'S FART POWDER: First Teaser For Arild Frohlich's Big Screen Outing Will Blow Your Mind. Or Face. Or Something.

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 02:35 PM PST

Though best known amongst the grown up set as a purveyor of hugely popular crime novels, Norwegian author Jo Nesbo's greatest success may lie with his children's creation Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder. And with Nesbo's crime material already proving a big hit on the screen it comes as no surprise that an adaptation of his children's book is in the works as well.The world described in this tale is not at all like our world. The dungeons are gloomier, the rich and their sons meaner, the parents much more self-centered, the crazy inventors' inventions crazier. And the beast that lives in the sewer system, brooding on revenge, could easily be a giant anaconda. In this world, the friendship between two lonely children is perhaps even...

Norwegian Animation SOLAN AND LUDVIG Posts Second Best Opening In A Decade

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 12:00 PM PST

A stop motion hedgehog and magpie own the box office in Norway this week, where Rasmus Sivertsen's Solan And Ludvig: Christmas In Pinchcliffe has posted Norway's second best opening weekend in a decade. How strong was it? If you include paid previews, Solan And Ludvig sold one hundred and seventy four thousand tickets. Compare that to Iron Man 3, which had been the year's top opener until now with just under ninety nine thousand. Sivertsen did have a slight leg up, however, in that his film is a return to the big screen of a pair of enormously popular characters based on the works of Kjell Aukrust - characters so popular that previous 1975 big screen adaptation Pinchcliffe Grand Prix was shown on the big...

Norse Gods Got Nothing On The Little Shoemaker

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 10:00 AM PST

Chris Hemsworth and his mighty hammer may be dominating the box office around the world but the massive performance of Thor: The Dark World hasn't been enough to propel it to the top of the heap everywhere and some of the titles keeping it out of the top spot may come as a surprise. Take Croatia, for instance, where the current box office belongs not to the Norse gods but to a family film titled The Brave Adventures Of A Little Shoemaker. Based on a popular story that was previous adapted as a feature length animation this one continues a string of recent box office successes for Croatian kids' films.

Von Trier Surrenders Control Of NYMPHOMANIAC, Ninety Minutes Removed From Final Cut

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 09:30 AM PST

Is there a new controversy brewing over Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac? There could well be. The Nymphomaniac conversation has thus far revolved around the film's extreme sexual content but the real drama seems to be occurring behind the camera rather than in front of it with word that - for the very first time in his entire career - Von Trier has ceded final cut of the film with the result being a full hour and a half of material being removed from his preferred version.Stories about multiple versions of Nymphomaniac have existed since the film was still little more than an idea, with Von Trier initially saying that he intended to release both a sexually explicit version and something a little more toned down....

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 08:15 AM PST

It was back in May that Twitch reported on stories that South African director Neill Blomkamp had tapped his nation's biggest musical export - Die Antwoord - to star in his upcoming third film Chappie. The news was widely met with skepticism but all involved insisted that not only was it true but that principal members Ninja and Yo-Landi Visser would essentially be playing versions of themselves opposite a cast that also includes Hugh Jackman, Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel and Sigourney Weaver.And now here's final confirmation ... production on Chappie is now underway and the duo have posted a pair of photos from the set on their official Facebook page including the shot to the left and another of Yo-Landi in her trailer.

Review: RED FAMILY's High Concept Suffers From Stilted Delivery

Posted: 12 Nov 2013 07:00 AM PST

Though as a theme it has spawned some of Korean cinema's biggest hits, including Shiri (1999), Joint Security Area (2000), Silmido (2003), Taegugki (2004) and Welcome to Dongmakgol (2005), the representation of North Korea on screen has always been a thorny one. It's a sensitive topic that is consistently affected by ebbing political tides. Though many different styles of narrative crop up relating to the Korean republic's Northern neighbor, those that have been most palatable to the public have featured themes of camaraderie across the demilitarized zone, films that stripped characters (mostly soldiers) of their ideologies and showed them for what they really were, which is of course people that are not all that dissimilar from one another. Following his successful return with the auto-biographical...
