Sam Raimi has produced this Ole Bornedal-directed horror film based on a Jewish legend. The Possession was formerly known as The Dibbuk Box before changing to the more pronounced ‘Possession’. Of course not everybody is Jewish and therefore not everybody would know about the myth of the Dibbuk box, an antique which leads to a [...]
I’m calling Elijah Wood’s remake of Maniac ‘Frodo with a Shotgun’. If you’ve seen Bill Lustig’s 1980 original then you might laugh … or not. Anyway, the Cannes Film Festival teaser trailer for Maniac has been put online ahead of its screening and you can catch a glimpse of what looks like a great psycho [...]
A few months ago a dodgy looking trailer appeared online for Dario Argento’s latest horror flick, Dracula 3D. It was dodgy because the effects work was incomplete and everybody pretty much said ‘It sucks’, and not in an irony-laced manner. It just looked rubbish. Now a proper trailer (seemingly for the Cannes market given the [...]
The calendar tells us it’s only seventeen more sleeps until Prometheus is released in the UK. Some have been excited by the PR blitz in recent times and others bloody annoyed. It’s fair enough, really. Sometimes it’s best to know as little as possible about a flick and other times fans will investigate every single [...]
Everybody loved Ruben Fleischer’s Zombieland but not everybody loved his follow up movie, 30 Minutes or Less. Will Gangster Squad be in the Zombieland camp or the other? The 1940s-set crime thriller looks very much a change of direction into more serious territory and the cast assembled is pretty darn good. The trailer for the [...]
Masters of Cinema are re-releasing a handful of Italian filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini’s films through 2012 and one on the way is Hawks and Sparrows (Uccellacci e uccellini). The film stars the iconic film comedian Totò and features a music score from maestro Ennio Morricone. MOC uploaded a great trailer for Hawks and Sparrows on [...]
“Spider-Man, Spider-Man. Remade by Sony as fast as it can…” The superhero ditty doesn’t actually go like that (obviously) but you get the point… I hope. Sam Raimi was going to direct a fourth movie then he left and the film studio decided what Spidey really needed was a fresh web spun by a new [...]
The major problem with The Expendables was that none of the characters died. So how expendable were they? Not very. The Expendables 2 might change that. Sly Stallone introduced the new theatrical trailer on the IGN about five minutes ago and you can watch it below. Let’s hope director Simon West has brought some Con [...]
To cheer you up on this bloody horrible grey Thursday, here’s a brand new clip from David Cronenberg’s film Cosmopolis. The film, starring Robert Pattinson in the lead role, is screening at Cannes and released in France at the end of May. It is based on US author Don DeLillo’s novel about a billionaire who [...]
2012 could prove one actor is definitely on the rise and also provide a reminder that another one can be astonishingly good when he wants to be. I’m talking about Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey. Tatum was good in Haywire, was hilarious in 21 Jump Street and next up we’ll be seeing him play a [...]
