11 June 2013 12:05 PM, PDT | Best-Horror-Movies.com | See recent Best-Horror-Movies.com news »
Dig on the new trailer and poster for the Christian Slater driven Stranded. While youre at it make a notation on your calendar as weve got a release date for you. Stranded looks a bit like Alien meets The Thing with a significantly less endearing ensemble. You wont find a Sigourney Weaver or Kurt Russell here instead weve got Christian Slater fronting the ensemble. Despite Slaters sometimessketchy career decisions (Alone in the Dark Hollow Man II anyone) Stranded looks like it could surprise. »
Watch: One-Hour Doc Follows John Carpenter's Prolific Horror Career
6 June 2013 10:51 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
It's impossible to talk about horror films, specifically the slasher genre, without mentioning director John Carpenter, the man behind the classic Halloween. Plus, the filmmaker made waves with his remake of The Thing and cult classics like They Live. Though the later years of his career haven't offered much in the vein of quality, there's no denying the man's influence over horror, and filmmakers in general, working today. So how about taking a look back at Carpenter's prolific career with an hour-long documentary called John Carpenter: Fear Is Just The Beginning. It's from 2004, but it's still very interesting. Watch it! Here's John Carpenter: Fear Is Just The Beginning via The Film Stage: Complete with interviews from collaborators like Jamie Lee Curtis (Halloween), Kurt Russell (Escape from New York) and the equally influential horror filmmaker George Romero, this is a truly fascinating look at a filmmaker who is usually private, »

Director Documentaries: Watch a 40 Minute BBC 2 Doc about The Coen Brothers, and the 1-hour John Carpenter Doc, Fear Is Just The Beginning
6 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
If you have a spare hour and forty minutes today, you may want to spend it watching a couple of documentaries about a few beloved directors. First up, there's the 40-minute BBC 2 documentary about The Coen Brothers that was made during the production of O Brother, Where Art Thou? At times, Joel and Ethan Coen have been mistakenly cited as "reclusive" when really they just don't seem to seek the spotlight, and don't feel the need to talk endlessly about their work. Nevertheless, getting to watch them work is a rare opportunity, and a valuable insight into their superb filmography. There's also an hour-long documentary entitled Fear Is Just the Beginning, which focuses on the career of John Carpenter. Made in 2004, the documentary has Carpenter looking back on his career as well as interviews with Jamie Lee Curtis, Kurt Russell, George Romero, and more. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance »

10 Shocking Movie Deaths That Came Out Of Nowhere
4 June 2013 1:20 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
In the right hands, an epic movie death can be one of the defining aspects of a given film, bringing finality to a situation, or on a more basic level, simply thrilling the Hell out of us. In other instances, the mere shock value of the death, either through its speed, unexpected arrival or bizarre nature, can lodge a film far deeper in our consciousness than it otherwise would be.
What these 10 deaths have in common is that in some way or another they defied expectations, and therefore shifted that we would come to expect from the film thereafter. If nothing else, these 10 films made it clear that all bets were off…
10. Steven Seagal – Executive Decision
It’s a long, distant memory now, but once upon a time, Steven Seagal was a bankable action star, and in this goofy 1996 thriller, the actor was billed second only to Kurt Russell. Given »

Al Pacino Almost Played This 'Star Wars' Character
3 June 2013 2:15 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Say hello to his little Wookiee? According to Al Pacino, Al Pacino almost played Han Solo in "Star Wars."
"It was mine for the taking but I didn’t understand the script," Pacino said in London over the weekend during an event called "An Evening With Al Pacino." Harrison Ford apparently did understand the script; he, of course, played Solo in three "Star Wars" films and is expected to reprise his role in the 2015 sequel directed by J.J. Abrams.
Pacino wasn't the only acclaimed actor to turn down the role of Han Solo. James Caan, Kurt Russell and Christopher Walken were all up for the part. Sissy Spacek, Jodie Foster, Cindy Williams and Amy Irving were among those actresses considered for the role of Princess Leia. That one eventually went to Carrie Fisher.
For more roles that Pacino almost had, head over to The Telegraph. For a list of other »

Al Pacino explained why he turned down playing Han Solo and John McClane, not that explanation is necessary
3 June 2013 2:06 PM, PDT | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
Those up on their Star Wars trivia likely already know that Harrison Ford only won the role of Han Solo after seemingly every other viable male actor of the ’70s was considered, a roster that's been rumored to include Nick Nolte, Kurt Russell, Burt Reynolds, Jack Nicholson, Christopher Walken, Perry King, Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, James Caan, and even Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Steve Martin (with Martin’s near-miss continuing to cause confusion to this day). Al Pacino was also famously in that mix, and at London’s recent “An Evening With Al Pacino” (just an evening »
Al Pacino Reveals Why He Turned Down Playing Han Solo In 'Star Wars'; Leonard Nimoy Thinks Spock Can Crossover

While Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher formed the core that would go on to create one of the biggest sci-fi franchise in history with "Star Wars," things could have played out much, much differently. Sissy Spacek or Cindy Williams could have been Princess Leia, while a gallery of tough dudes like Kurt Russell, Nick Nolte, Sylvester Stallone and Christopher Walken were all in the running for Han Solo. Another actor in the mix? Al Pacino. Yes really. Had the actor taken the role, he would've been coming off an incredible run of movies including the two "The Godfather" films by George Lucas' good friend Francis Ford Coppola, "Serpico" and "Dog Day Afternoon." While Pacino did take a look at the part, he recently explained why he ultimately didn't sign on. "It was mine for the taking but I didn’t understand the script," he told an audience »

NY Film Society of Lincoln Center Brings a Midnight Movie Revival With Carpenter/Craven Movies and More!
9 May 2013 4:59 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
Here’s some good news for any East Coast horror fans out there! New York’s Film Society of Lincoln Center, located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, is gearing up to bring back their “Midnight Movies” series in June, and judging from the initial lineup, it sounds like a lot of fun, read on!
“The return of the Midnight Movies series in June will be bookended by two John Carpenter/Kurt Russell crowd pleasers, with The Thing (1982), the edge-of-your-seat thriller of a body-duplicating alien versus a handful of men, re-opening the series on Friday, June 7, and Big Trouble In Little China (1986), which both begs definition while it gleefully mixes genre, closing out the month on Friday, June 28. In between, Midnight Movies will screen Wes Craven’s Deadly Blessing (1981), a tale of horror in Amish country and Richard Donner’s anti-Christ horror staple, The Omen (1976).”
