Eiff 2013: Ten Films To See
1 hour ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
The 67th Edinburgh International Film Festival kicks off this evening with the European premiere of Breathe In, Drake Doremus’ dark family drama starring Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce, and then continues for a further eleven days until it draws to a close with the world premiere of John McKay’s romantic comedy Not Another Happy Ending.
The programme, which has been lovingly put together by Artistic Director Chris Fujiwara and his trusted team, contains all the necessary ingredients to appease both die-hard cinema fans and those simply looking to catch the next big thing a few weeks before anyone else. To find the films worth seeing though is a tricky task – something that this article could help with.
I’ve scoured the jam-packed programme and come up with ten films (included below with brief descriptions and screening details) that should not be missed:

Four-Day Dead Heat: Superman vs. Iron Man and a Milestone to Be Reached Today
10 hours ago | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Man of Steel box office to reach $150 million in North America today (photo: Dylan Sprayberry as the young Clark Kent in Man of Steel) Directed by Zack Snyder and starring Henry Cavill in the title role, Man of Steel will undoubtedly pass the $150 million milestone at the North American box office on Tuesday, June 19, 2013. Partly boosted by 3D surcharges, after about four and a quarter days (including $12 million from Thursday evening screenings), Warner Bros.’ $225 million-budgeted Man of Steel has taken in $141.26 million from 4,207 Us/Canada locations, including $12.58 million on Monday as per Box Office Mojo. For comparison’s sake: From Friday-Monday, without the advantage of box-office-inflating 3D surcharges, Jon Favreau / Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man earned $105.55 million, or about $117 million today. So, if the 3D surcharges* are deducted from Man of Steel‘s Friday-to-Monday total, the 2013 Superman reboot would be left with $116.34 million. In other words, the $140 million-budgeted Iron Man »

Here's How This Is The End Was Originally Supposed To End
17 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
When we first heard about Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's directorial debut This is the End, we were on the fence about how it would turn out. With a cast that includes Rogen and recurring collaborators James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and Michael Cera, it seemed to have a solid start. Plus Rogen and Goldberg showed their sharp skills at crafting an outrageous but heartwarming (in a bromance-way) narrative with Superbad. But with all these stars playing themselves, would this be an entertaining comedy that pokes fun at their celeb personas against the backdrop of the apocalypse? Or would This is The End be a series of in-jokes that would only be amusing to Rogen's circle of friends? We were thrilled to report it's the former, a fearless and funny movie that gets celebrity schadenfreude right. And among its many virtues is a finale »
Danny McBride: 'I never thought This Is the End would be made'
19 hours ago | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »
Danny McBride has admitted that he doubted whether This Is the End would actually be produced.
The apocalyptic comedy was written and directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, and stars Rogen, McBride, Michael Cera, Jonah Hill and James Franco playing themselves.
In an interview with Flicks and Bits, McBride described his reaction when Rogen first asked him to appear in This Is the End.
"It was one of those ideas that when Seth pitched it to me I was like, 'That's great, but no-one will ever make that movie'," he recalled.
"And then when they did I thought it was amazing that we would have the opportunity to do something like this."
He went on to say: "I had heard they were working on this movie, and it was one of those movies that the idea sounded so crazy that you never really knew if it would come to fruition. »

21 hours ago | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
We’re almost half-way through 2013, and though it has been a pretty disappointing year for films thus far, there’s the promise of plenty more – and plenty better – to come in the next 6 months. The sci-fi and fantasy genres in particular are offering up some tantalising prospects, ranging from big-budget blockbusters to low-budget indies. Here are 44 sci-fi and fantasy movies still to be released this year, what our impressions are, and what we’ve heard about them to date…
44. World War Z (June 21)
The hugely anticipated adaptation of Max Brooks’ acclaimed zombie novel was beset by considerable production issues leading up to its release, though reviews on the whole have thus far been broadly positive for the Brad Pitt-starring actioner.
I’ve seen it, and on the other hand wasn’t taken with it at all – you can read my review here – deeming it likely the most boring zombie »

"This Is The End" Of The Year's Race For Best Comedy
23 hours ago | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
True to Rogen’s style, This is the End is an over-the-top, sometimes offensive, often immature, but always very funny comedy about a group of celebrities faced with the Apocalypse. No heroes, just real guys trying to figure things out as the world falls apart.
In the first scene of the movie, we’re in an airport, where a fan calls out to Seth Rogen, who we realize that is playing himself. In fact, all of the celebrities in this movie are playing (versions of) themselves. Seth meets up with his buddy and fellow comedian Jay Baruchel, who is visiting from Chicago, and we dive right into the bromance montage of the two spending all day getting way too high and playing video games. Soon, Seth convinces Jay to join him for a party at James Franco’s house. At this point, the debauchery really kicks in – sex, drugs, and »

This Is the End opened in theaters last week, which means we were all finally invited to James Franco's blowout party of the Summer. The film has an impressive cast of hilarious leading men like James Franco and Seth Rogen, but there are even more celebs that only appear on screen for a few minutes. Even if you haven't seen the film yet, you can tell from the trailer that the movie is bursting at the seams with celebrity cameos. In case you missed one or two (or are just dying for some spoilers), check out the star-studded list of actors playing themselves in the movie.

How This Is the End Was Originally Going to End
17 June 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
[Spoilers ahead.] There are a handful of delightful cameos in This Is the End: Michael Cera, Rihanna, Channing Tatum. But the cameo worthy of closing out the movie belonged to the Backstreet Boys, who lead an "Everybody" dance-along in heaven. How did that scene come about? "We were trying to figure out a way to spruce up the end, to make it better, " co-writer-director Evan Goldberg told us last week, at a screening hosted by Fiji Water and Svedka Vodka. "It actually was an off-handed suggestion of our wives, and then Seth [Rogen] just kept bringing it up, and then it kind of snowballed into something that we didn't think could happen, and it did." But that wasn't how the movie was originally going to end. Originally, Goldberg and Seth Rogen wanted the main crew to go to heaven and be greeted by none other than Morgan Freeman. "The whole »

James Franco tells off Danny McBride in 'This Is the End' clip - video

A new red-band clip from This Is the End has been released.
The scene, released exclusively by Digital Spy, features James Franco, Seth Rogen and Danny McBride as themselves.
Written and directed by Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the comedy stars Franco, Rogen, McBride, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Michael Cera, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Emma Watson, all playing fictionalised versions of themselves.
The group assembles - along with a host of other celebrities - at a house party hosted by Franco, but are forced to fend for themselves after a global apocalypse occurs.
Franco recently discussed the experience of playing himself, explaining that the fictional Franco's obsession with Seth Rogen is an exaggeration of the pair's real-life bond.

Laff 2013 Review: ‘Crystal Fairy’ Is a Trip That Gaby Hoffmann Makes Worth the Ride
16 June 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
We all want to lose ourselves sometimes. To find those perfect moments where you do not have a care in the world and you feel close and in harmony with all those around you. But rarely can you manufacture or plan for these moments, they simply happen. Uptight and pretentious Jamie (Michael Cera) is a person who definitely needs a moment like this to loosen him up, but he is so desperate to achieve what he believe will be a transformative high, he is missing the possibly more meaningful moments leading up to it. Jamie is living abroad in Chile and his boorish behavior is the epitome of a “rude American.” He is entitled and says everything he is thinking, but his good natured roommate puts up with it, despite the fact that Jamie clearly only wants one thing from him – to drive him to the beach to finally imbibe in some San Pedro cactus.

'This is the End' review: Seth Rogen and James Franco have the last word in apocalyptic comedy
14 June 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »
The lads of Hollywood's "Pot Pack" get together for a riotous riff on The Rapture in "This is the End," an often hilarious / generally irreverent comedy about the Biblical apocalypse as seen through the windows of a movie star's mansion.
Seth Rogen & Co. cooked up this all-star romp, a much funnier, less preachy and just as credulous take on New Testament accounts of The End than the equally blasphemous "Rapture-Palooza."
Inventing versions of their real selves to play, "End" begins with old Rogen pal Jay Baruchel visiting him in Los Angeles, getting baked and complaining about Rogen's running mates -- James Franco, Jonah Hill and their ilk. Baruchel ("She's Out of My League) is then dragged to a rowdy party at Franco's Architecture Digest showplace of a home, where Franco can't remember his name. Hill fawns all over him, unconvincingly trying to persuade Baruchel that they shouldn't be enemies. And »

See a Very Different Side of Michael Cera in Magic Magic Trailer
13 June 2013 5:06 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Magic Magic was one of the more unsettling/crazy films that I saw at Sundance earlier this year. It stars Juno Temple, Emily Browning, and Michael Cera, who gives one of the strangest performances of his career. This film shows us a side of Cera you've never seen before. This trailer is weird because it makes him out to be some kind of psychopath. In a way he is, but not in the way he's being portrayed in the trailer. He's more of a nut that might have a mental handicap. You can read my review for the film here.
If Alicia could just get some sleep, everything would be all right. As she and her cousin Sarah make their way through rural Chile with Sarah’s boyfriend, his sister, and their strange American friend Brink, Alicia’s insomnia slowly takes control.

We’ve got a couple of new posters to share with you, from a drama about a twenty-something foster care staff member, and a film featuring George Michael Bluth on a road trip through Chile. Both are making their way from the film festival circuit to a theater near you, hopefully. First up is “Short Term 12” starring Brie Larson, which won the Narrative Grand Jury Prize at this year’s SXSW. About a young woman managing her way through a foster care facility, our reviewer called it “Heartrending, heartwarming and authentic,” (which made its way onto the poster). Here’s the whole review from SXSW here. Check out the quote and poster below.Next is a new poster from “Crystal Fairy.” Starring Michael Cera as a young man wandering around Chile, his character indulges in some hallucinogenic cactus and befriends Crystal Fairy, played by Gaby Hoffman (yes, she was »
