Word has come that Doug Liman's Tom Cruise flick All You Need Is Kill has hit a speedbump and will open a bit later than expected. Look for it in theatres on June 6, 2014 instead of the previously announced March 7th, 2014.

All You Need is Kill, based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s novel, centers on a soldier (Cruise) in a near-future war against aliens who relives his last day over and over after being killed. Through the training and battles he experiences in these time loops, he becomes a better soldier.

Warner Bros. delays release dates for '300: Rise of an Empire' and Tom Cruise pic 'All You Need Is Kill'

10 May 2013 12:38 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Audiences expecting to return to the swords-and-sandals-and-cgi ancient Greece of 300 this summer will have to wait until next March. Warner Bros. has pushed the release date of sequel/side-quel 300: Rise of an Empire from Aug. 2, 2013 to March 7, 2014.

That move also bumps another WB action project, Tom Cruise-starrer All You Need Is Kill, from March 7, 2014 to the prominent summer U.S. release date of June 6, 2014. The time loop war movie is taking a page from the book of films like Iron Man 3 and Cruise’s own Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol with the plan to open in select international »

'300' Sequel Gets Pushed to Original '300' Date

10 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Warner Bros. is making a couple of smart moves with some release date changes beginning with their 300 sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire, which was originally slated for an August 2 release this year, moving it to March 7, 2014. This places the film on the same weekend as Zack Snyder's first film, which was released back in 2007 and went on to surprise everyone, bringing in $456 million worldwide on a $65 million budget. I haven't seen a budget number for the sequel, but I have to assume they kept it at or very near the budget of the original as it isn't exactly loaded with big name talent. Noam Murro directs the sequel based on a Frank Miller graphic novel, with a story that runs parallel to the story told in 300, this time Greek general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) attempts to unite all of Greece by leading the charge that will change the course of the war. »

Warner Bros. Pictures has announced a change of release dates for two of its most-anticipated event films: “All You Need is Kill,” from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures, and “300: Rise of an Empire,” from Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Pictures. The announcement was made by Dan Fellman, President of Domestic Distribution, and Veronika Kwan Vandenberg, President of International Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

All You Need is Kill” has been moved to the Summer release corridor, opening on June 6, 2014, with select international markets predating the domestic release, starting the weekend of May 30, 2014. The earlier international release date was specifically chosen to put the opening two weeks ahead of the start of the World Cup. The move reflects the studio’s already strong belief in the huge science fiction actioner, which marks the first collaboration between two proven hit-makers, Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman.

The Colony Draws You into Its Frozen Landscape: A Movie Review

9 May 2013 12:55 PM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

*there are mild spoilers here. Director: Jeff Renfroe. Writers: Jeff Renfroe, Svet Rouskov, Patrick Tarr, and Pascal Trottier. Cast: Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Zegers, Bill Paxton, Charlotte Sullivan and John Tench. The post-apocalyptic film The Colony had its World Premiere in Toronto April 3rd, 2013. This indie title was then released in theatres across Canada in mid-April. Now, this critic has finally seen the film and the wait was mostly worth it. The Colony brings a slightly unique landscape to the post-apocalyptic genre, a frozen wasteland. Instead of nuclear waste or arid deserts, several characters must survive lack of food, illness and the occasional band of roaming cannibals. The plot holes in The Colony are frequent, but the film still manages to be enjoyable. The film's story involves about 40 people living in an underground lair. Above, the world is a frozen landscape, which few can survive. The survivors of a new ice »

The Colony: There's Hope At The End Of The World [Review]

8 May 2013 3:12 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

The Colony unfolds in a future where humanity's attempts to fix the environment with the help of fancy technology has failed. As the weather machines started to malfunction, it began to snow. It never stopped. Most people died but some bright and industrious individuals found shelter in underground bunkers. It's in one of these that we meet leader-in-training Sam (Kevin Zegers), the actual leader Briggs (Laurence Fishburne) and the hothead Mason (Bill Paxton) among a number of other survivors. When the colonists receive a distress signal from a nearby colony, Briggs sets off to investigate after all, with only a few hundred known survivors left, the last thing he wants is to limit the gene pool further and so he, Sam and another young man head out to investigate. Obviously this is a bad idea that will end in disaster. [Continued ...] »

From Pre-History to Ancient Greece and the Arabian Nights: Harryhausen's Latter-Day Efforts

7 May 2013 11:33 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Raquel Welch wigs vs. Ray Harryhausen monsters: One Million Years B.C. [See previous post: "Ray Harryhausen: Special Effects Titan Dies."] Without Charles H. Schneer as producer, Ray Harryhausen created the visual effects for the 1966 camp classic One Million Years B.C. — though, admittedly, his work in that movie played second fiddle to Raquel Welch’s physical effects as a blonde-bewigged (?) cavewoman parading around Earth’s pre-history in a cleavage-enhancing fur bikini. Whereas in producer Hal Roach’s 1940 effort One Million B.C., lizards made up as dinosaurs made life difficult for Victor Mature and Carole Landis, in the creationist-style pre-history of the 1966 (sort-of) remake, Raquel Welch and fellow caveman John Richardson had to square off against Harryhausen’s stop-motion models of giant reptiles.

[Please scroll down to check out TCM's beautiful Ray Harryhausen tribute.] Starring James Franciscus and featuring Earth vs. the Flying SaucersRichard Carlson, The Valley of Gwangi (1969) was Harryhausen’s next-to-last mid-level effort.

Review: The Colony Leaves You Cold

25 April 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Man, I had such high hopes for The Colony. Sure, my feelings of hope were coloured a bit by a set visit a year ago that went comically awry. This low-budget, independent sci-fi film, starring Kevin Zegers, Bill Paxton and Laurence Fishburne, was shooting an hour's flight north of Toronto in an abandoned, subterranean, Cold War-era Norad Air Defence base. Once we arrived (and were greeted by the mayor!), we traveled 600 feet under ground to visit the sets, strewn amongst the detritus of and cabling from the previous tenants. This was the first film to shoot in the Bunker, and likely the last. The scope of the project looked immense, and shooting with an Anamorphic kit on Alexis cameras made the thing as glossy as...

The Colony Releases Behind-the-scenes Clips #2 and #3

25 April 2013 9:29 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

The sci-fi thriller The Colony is set to release in just a couple of days. Canadian distributor Entertainment One has released three behind-the-scenes clips for this thriller. The latest two reels are hosted below. Both movie clips #2 and #3 deal with themes of leadership. Actor Bill Paxton plays Mason, an executioner. He kills off those who are a threat to a small group of survivors. And now, he has lost empathy for some of the others, in his group. Paxton provides more details on his character in the behind-the-scenes clip #2. In the next clip, Laurence Fishburne is Briggs. Briggs is another leader, who oversees an underground shelter. He also sets out with a small group of men, to contact another survival colony, after an ice age has frozen the world. Briggs is more empathetic, but no less brutal than Mason. Fishburne talks about his character, in depth, in the behind-the-scenes movie »

Interview: Molly Maxwell Director Sara St. Onge

23 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

Here at Twitch I've had the opportunity to do a number of long form interviews with the likes of Guillermo Del Toro and Bill Paxton, well established filmmakers that when given the opportunity to properly express themselves outside of simple soundbytes have fascinating things to say about cinema. I thought I'd try something of similar scope with a filmmaker unfamiliar to most. I sat down with director Sara St. Onge over hot drinks to chat at length about her first feature, Molly Maxwell. The film is charming, provocative, and quite well done, a far cry from the glossiness of High School films that traditional Hollywood spits out. At its core is the story of a young girl who falls for one of her teachers,...

Taking cover with the cast of The Colony

23 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »

As Canadians, talking about, okay complaining about, contemplating and trying to predict the weather is a national pastime since our chilly and overlong winters are intrinsically connected to our identities.

Writer-director Jeff Renfroe takes our obsession with all things meteorological and adds a heavy dose of sci-fi, environmental panic and thorny moral issues in The Colony where survivors of a new Ice Age find refuge underground and adapt to a new way to live until something far more nefarious than non-stop snow threatens to end it all. But don't worry, it's not zombies.

We were on the North Bay, Ontario set last winter, when else?, and spoke to co-stars Kevin Zegers and Bill Paxton about their experience filming in the decommissioned Norad base, why making a movie about an unstoppable force of nature was fun and what kind of movie The Colony promises to be.
