Horror Movie 'Kill Me Again' Begins Pre-Production
16 hours ago | MoreHorror | See recent MoreHorror news »
By Seth Metoyer, MoreHorror.com
An upcoming horror film called Kill Me Again has recently kicked off pre-production. The film will star actress and producer April Washko and will be directed by Steven Rodriguez.
Check out the larger version of the teaser poster as well as a special memorial day greeting from the film-makers below the official press kit details.
From The Press Kit:
Unlike other horror movies, "Kill Me Again" provides its audience with a dramatically intelligent, and emotionally charged storyline, set within the hugely popular zombie genre.
Fans of AMC’s Emmy award winning “The Walking Dead” will without a doubt consider "Kill Me Again" a welcome addition to the zombie genre family.
George A. Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" was only the beginning. "Kill Me Again" promises to continue onward, thus keeping the zombie legacy alive, as it were.
So, we ask…“When the time comes… »

[Cannes Review] Cosmopolis
25 May 2012 5:19 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
In David Cronenberg’s adaptation of Cosmopolis, a novel by post modern author Don DeLillo, the Canadian filmmaker tackles a dense criticism of capitalism, greed and class. Featuring an ensemble cast built on quick cameos, the film is anchored by a solid, ennui-filled performance by Robert Pattinson, shedding his Twilight skin for something more substantive and reminiscent of Christian Bale in American Pyscho. The challenge of compressing such dense literary concepts in filmic form is immense, and Cronenberg should definitely be applauded for his ambitious attempt at bringing these abstractions to life. Yet there is undeniable stale and static quality to Cosmopolis that makes it feel like watching someone read a book.
The opening credits unfurl over an evolving Jackson Pollack-esque painting while ominous music, courtesy of frequent Cronenberg collaborator Howard Shore, creates an unsettling mood. This is followed by an introduction to Eric Packer (Pattinson), dressed like Mr. Smith from The Matrix, »

Marvel’s Next Avengers Film #5: Black Panther
23 May 2012 11:05 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With a sequel to The Avengers officially confirmed by Marvel/Disney, comic book fans the world over will be contemplating which of the publisher’s other heroes could be added to the line-up, potentially getting their own solo movie as soon as 2014 – filling the popularly acknowledged gap in the schedule alongside Captain America 2 that summer.
Of course, we have to bear in mind that Marvel Studios do not own the film rights to characters as key to their comic book universe as Daredevil, Spider-Man, Wolverine or the Fantastic Four – all of whom have allied with or become members of the Avengers at one time or another – but with that consideration in place, here is another suggestion for Marvel’s Next Avengers Film:
Black Panther (King T’Challa of Wakanda)
Why?: Apart from the obvious fact that T’Challa is a long-standing ally of the Avengers and mainstream »

Tsr Blog: The Villainous Box Office Success of ‘The Avengers’
22 May 2012 5:14 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
A god more indestructible than The Avengers’ nemesis Loki, Ned Beatty’s character Arthur Jensen in Sidney Lumet’s drama Network will forever be one of the most powerful villains in all of film. His face illuminated by a row of green lamps in a dim conference room, this chairman of a massive media conglomerate educates future TV prophet Howard Beale (played by Peter Finch) about “the primal forces of nature,” something that speaks galactically beyond accusations of greediness towards “The 1%.” In the movie’s epiphanic moment, he informs Beale that “… There are no nations, there are no peoples … there is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multi-national dominion of dollars … It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet … That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today!”

'America's Got Talent': Howard Stern makes Mir Money, 7-year-old rapper, cry
21 May 2012 7:07 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
You've had a couple episodes to see Howard Stern in action on "America's Got Talent" - what do you think so far? We've actually been pleasantly surprised by him - he's funny and entertaining, but not inappropriate or mean, so we think we're on board with him as a choice.
Monday night (May 21), the auditions are still in New York City. We kick things off with The Flyte Cru, a trampoline dunk team.They're fun to watch and have a couple neat tricks, but we aren't sure where we see it going (and it seems like we've seen that all before). However, they're good enough to go to Vegas and get another shot to show what they can do and the judges agree, though Howie does point out that they aren't breaking new ground with their act.
Good Montage - an aerialist named Max, who is quite impressive to watch »

New Stills From ‘Cosmopolis’ Put Focus on Supporting Cast; Preview Howard Shore & Metric’s Score
8 May 2012 12:33 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
With a release eyed for this summer following a Cannes debut, the updates from David Cronenberg‘s crazy-looking Cosmopolis are coming in full swing. Today we’ve got our first listen from the score for the Robert Pattinson-starrer by long-time collaborator Howard Shore and the Canadian indie band Metric. Howe Records have a preview of the 11 tracks and it sounds to be a pumping, energetic good time. These collaborations with established composer and popular band have proved successful in the past and under Cronenberg’s guidance, this is sounding like a great one. Check out those previews at the link (via The Playlist), with a blurb about the score, along with new photos from the film featuring Samantha Morton, Jay Baruchel, Mathieu Amalric, Kevin Durand and more.

'Cosmopolis' Soundtrack Details Revealed, Features 3 New Songs By Metric, Howard Shore Score & More
8 May 2012 6:04 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Many fans of David Cronenberg have begun to miss the director's freakier films of the past, with the helmer taking on more sober fare in recent years including "A History Of Violence," "Eastern Promises" and "A Dangerous Method." To be certain, none of those efforts were what you would call mainstream, but they lacked the oddball flavor Cronenberg made his name with. Well, "Cosmopolis" should find the Canadian filmmaker returning to those more surreal efforts of the past, and, naturally, he still has few curveballs to deliver.
As was reported last fall, Canuck indie rockers Metric will be providing some tunes for the film, and the soundtrack details have now arrived revealing not only that they've penned three new songs -- "Long To Live," "I Don't Want To Wake Up," "Call Me Home" -- but that rapper K'naan has also delivered "Mecca" as well. Intriguingly, composer Howard Shore co-wrote the songs with Metric, »

Colin Farrell Seeks Vengeance Through His Rifle's Scope In Set Photos From Niels Arden Oplev's 'Dead Man Down'
7 May 2012 8:40 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
While the Swedish 'Dragon Tattoo' films didn't grip us as much as David Fincher's version, the overall success of the films (and, in this case, the first film) has paved the way for the talent involved, director Niels Arden Oplev and actress Noomi Rapace. Now hard at work on an English-language reunion, "Dead Man Down," the duo have managed to get us excitied with a grimey-sounding revenge-actioner that boasts a stellar cast that includes Colin Farrell, Dominic Cooper, Terrence Howard and Isabelle Huppert.
The story centers on Victor (Farrell), right hand man to an underground crime lord in New York City, who is looking for vengeance for the death of a family member, and is seduced and blackmailed by Beatrice (Rapace), a crime victim seeking retribution. Their intense chemistry leads them spiraling into payback delivered in violent catharsis. Cooper will play Farrell's buddy on the street while Howard takes on the villain role. »

If Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s New ‘Little Shop of Horrors’ Is a Remake of a Remake, Does That Counteract The Remake Backlash?
3 May 2012 6:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Little Shop of Horrors is a story about a man-eating plant that’s been around for quite a while. It started off as a silly Roger Corman movie from the early ’60s, but even before that, Corman’s work is thought to have been inspired by a John Collier story called “Green Thoughts” from the ’30s. What most of us probably think of as Little Shop of Horrors comes from the ’80s, however. In 1982 Alan Menken and Howard Ashmen wrote a stage musical based on Corman’s black comedy, and then in 1986 Frank Oz directed a film version of their musical. As strange and campy as it is, Oz’s version of Little Shop still has quite a few fans to this day, so would it be considered an atrocity for someone to remake it? Maybe not, because, according to THR, the someone who’s newly responsible for trying to get a remake of Little Shop together »

This Week in Soundtracks – April 24, 2012, includes ‘Eastbound and Down’
27 April 2012 4:22 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
This week’s soundtracks review only features one new soundtrack with three re-releases and new versions of one film series’ scores.
Eastbound & Down by Various Artists
Eastbound & Down is an American comedy series about a former Major League Baseball superstar who fizzled out and is now adjusting to normal life while trying to get back to the Majors. The show predominantly takes place in the American south (and Mexico) and the music of the show reflects that. A majority of the musical tracks on this two-disc soundtrack could be classified as blues/southern rock or rap. This can be evidenced by the theme song, 1971’s “Going Down” by blues musician Freddie King. Almost half of the tracks are clips from the show, showcasing the humor of Eastbound. A great soundtrack for fans of the show or blues rock fans who enjoy some crude humor mixed in between the songs.

Three powerful UK film scores get a nod from the Ivor Novellos, while Hitchcock's restored silent movies are given modern musical accompaniment
Play on
Why are the pop-based Ivor Novello awards nominating far more interesting film scores than any other awards body? Their three contenders for best original film score, announced last week, were: The First Grader, by Alex Heffes; We Need to Talk About Kevin, by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood; and Life in a Day, by Harry Gregson-Williams and the great Matthew Herbert. These are inventive, creative and powerful modern film scores – far more vital, exciting and reflective of what's going on in film score composition in the UK at the moment than the usual boring nods for, say, Howard Shore and Alexandre Desplat.
