Teaser For THE SIGNAL Asks, "R U Agitated?" Full Trailer Asks Even More Questions

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 10:31 PM PDT

UPDATED: New, full trailer added below. Focus Features will release William Eubank's indie sci-fi The Signal on June 13 and the advertising campaign kicks off with a nifty teaser trailer you can watch below. Eubank recently caught our attention with his debut, the visually amazing Love, which he filmed in his parents' rather spacious backyard. We are very excited to see what he has come up with next. The Signal rolled out at Sundance this year in the midnighters program. The Signal is directed by William Eubank (Love), who also co-wrote the script with newcomers Carlyle Eubank and David Frigerio. Nick (Brenton Thwaites) and Jonah (Beau Knapp) are MIT freshmen and serious hackers. While driving through Nevada with Nick's girlfriend, Hailey (Olivia Cooke), they follow rival hacker Nomad's...

12 Takeaways From SXSW 2014 - Plus All Twitch's Reviews & Features

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 06:45 PM PDT

Another SXSW has come and gone and the Twitch crew is just starting to recover from the exhaustion. We've got links to all our review, interviews, and features, plus some personal takeaways below. All the fun and great films seem somewhat insignificant when viewed in the light of the tragedy that unfolded early last Thursday morning. Though it was after most of the film crowd had fled the growing music throngs, there is no doubt every attendee was stricken with grief and that sinking feeling that we had walked right near that spot at some point the previous week. Our hearts go out to all of those affected by the tragedy. REVIEWS 13 SINS, A Gruesome Thriller That Starts With A Fly by Peter Martin...

Final Trailer For THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 Abandons Reality Entirely

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 02:00 PM PDT

Oy. As a longtime fan of Peter Parker and Spider-Man, dating back to a childhood reading the comic books and then watching the animated TV show, I have built up a great deal of tolerance for his various incarnations. Watching the latest and, reportedly, final trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2, however, has completely alienated me from the character. I realize it's only part of a massive marketing campaign, and is intended to lure folks away from whatever else they were intending to do on opening weekend -- as early as April 16-18 in Australia, parts of Europe and Latin America, and in North America on May 2 -- but this strikes me as the most artificial, least human, least appealing manifestation of a big-screen superhero...

Review: THE MISSING PICTURE, A Hauntingly Poetic Work of Emotional and Historical Archaeology

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 01:00 PM PDT

Cambodian filmmaker Rithy Panh has devoted his career to documenting the brutal horrors perpetrated on his homeland by the genocidal Khmer Rouge regime, which for four nightmarish years from 1975 to 1979 subjected the citizens under their control to forced migration from the cities, detention in labor caps and prisons, torture, starvation, and execution. This resulted in the deaths of around two million people and the near eradication of Cambodian culture and recorded history. Panh, in such powerful documentaries as S-21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2003) and Duch, Master of the Forges of Hell (2012), tells the story of the victims of the Khmer Rouge and confronts the perpetrators of crimes against humanity. Rithy Panh's latest film, The Missing Picture, which won the top...

Give Jesus Your Money! The FIST OF JESUS Punching Its Way To Feature Length!

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 09:30 AM PDT

Jesus is coming and he's spreading carnage wherever he goes.Imagine, if you will, that a young Alex de la Iglesia were to remake Monty Python's The Life Of Brian. This is, in essence, what Spanish directors David Munoz and Adrian Cardona did with their short film Fist Of Jesus and if it sounds like one of the greatest things ever, that's because it is. Outrageously bloody - not to mention shockingly well made - the film racked up awards on the festival circuit while also pulling in well over a million views on YouTube, where it became a huge cult sensation. And now the duo are hitting the crowd funding trail to raise the money for the full feature version, Once Upon A Time In...

WOLFCOP: Check Out This Howling Good Poster

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 09:00 AM PDT

This! Is a movie poster! Tom Hodge, know as The Dude Designs, has done it again. Already well known for his hand illustrated approach to making movie posters and home entertainment releases, he has helped out Canadian horror comedy Wolfcop with one sweet poster! My gosh, this is too cool. Want. It's not unusual for alcoholic cop Lou Garou to black out and wake up in unfamiliar surroundings, but lately things have taken a strange turn...crime scenes seem oddly familiar, Lou's senses are heightened and when the full moon is out, he's a rage-fueled werewolf.Wolfcop is the premiere feature from Canadian studio Cinecoup and their Film Accelerator program. Director and writer Lowell Dean submitted a two minute trailer and through an arduous voting process was chosen as...

Ivan Reitman Will Not Direct GHOSTBUSTERS 3

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 08:30 AM PDT

In what can only be viewed as good news, it has been confirmed that Ivan Reitman no longer intends to direct the long-talked-about-despite-the-complete-and-utter-lack-of-actual-forward-progress Ghostbusters 3. No matter whether you are pro or anti further ghost busting, this is a good thing. Why?Well, if you're one of those who wants a third Ghostbusters film and actually want it to be good, well, consider that Reitman is now more than twenty years removed from the last actually good film that he has directed, that being 1993's Dave. In the intervening years he has helmed Junior, Father's Day, Six Days Seven Nights, Evolution, Cooking Lessons, My Super Ex-Girlfriend, No Strings Attached and the yet to be released Draft Day, whose trailers look typically awful. Let's be honest: Is...

Destroy All Monsters: Fighting and Fucking in 300: RISE OF AN EMPIRE

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 08:00 AM PDT

On International Women's Day, my girlfriend took me to see 300: Rise of an Empire. She liked the original 300 movie a lot more than I did (I didn't), but she's my girlfriend and I love her, and naturally I ended up liking 300 2 more than she did. This is the value of expectations. Granted, Rise of An Empire never crosses over into the realm of actually being good, at least not in any definable sense of the term. Pretty much everything, though, that I didn't like about the first 300 movie - the melted-plastic intangibility of the images, the ridiculous man-Man-MAN-ness of the characters/icons - was rewired sufficiently to make them effective, or at least, interesting enough to keep me in the game....

STAR WARS: EPISODE VII Update - Shooting Dates, Timelines, and More

Posted: 19 Mar 2014 07:00 AM PDT

It's been some time since there's been solid information about the latest film in the Star Wars series, but we've now received information directly from the studio itself. It's been more than a year since the big announcement that J.J. Abrams was taking over the series, and yet details have been pretty sparse. Since that time, original screenwriter Michael Arndt left (or was asked to leave) the project, with his script replaced by one supposedly being written by Abrams himself along with The Empire Strikes Back / Return of the Jedi scribe Lawrence Kasdan.  Casting rumours have swirled around the original cast playing roles in the film, with the inclusion of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford perhaps the worst kept secret of all. We...
