‘Ted’, ‘Life of Pi’ & ‘Red Lights’ Land New Release Dates
24 May 2012 7:47 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Paramount shocked the movie blogosphere yesterday, when it removed G.I. Joe: Retaliation from this year’s summer slate barely a month before it was due to open in theaters. Universal is taking advantage of the change – by bumping up the Seth MacFarlane comedy Ted to take Joe‘s previous spot.
Fox has also moved up Ang Lee’s Life of Pi adaptation to take the November 2012 release date previously occupied by Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity (which Warner Bros. has pushed back to 2013). Meanwhile, Millennium has selected a release date for Red Lights, the new thriller from Buried director Rodrigo Cortés.
MacFarlane’s feature-lenth writing/directing debut, Ted – or as we like to call it, Family Guy with a Teddy Bear - is now scheduled to arrive on June 29th, instead of two weeks later on July 13th. The R-Rated ...

John Cusack Wanted for Elijah Wood’s ‘Grand Piano’
16 May 2012 5:07 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The premise of Grand Piano is so silly and so high-concept that, in all actuality, I could see it working like a charm. The movie will cast Elijah Wood as a piano player who, after spending five years on a professional leave of absence, comes back to perform a concert, but finds a “threatening note” scribed on his sheet music. And, seeing as this is a thriller, said note leaves him “forced to play his best concert ever to save his life as well as his wife’s.”
I think it sounds like a load of fun; John Cusack might even be on the same page, as Variety reports that director Eugenio Mira has brought him into talks, presumably to play the man tormenting Wood‘s character into putting on a good show. (But don’t take my word for it.) It’s kind of what I’m hoping for, »

Elijah Wood Will Play the ‘Grand Piano’ In Rodrigo Cortes-Produced Indie Thriller
1 May 2012 4:28 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
The post-lotr career of Elijah Wood — a period that’s now over eight years old, if you can believe it — has, for the star of such a massive franchise, been pretty low-key. If anything, he’s taken big parts in small films (Everything is Illuminated, Green Street Hooligans, Celeste and Jesse Forever), while, at the same time, taken big projects (Eternal Sunshine, Sin City) that gave him small parts.
Now, he may have found something of a middle-ground. According to THR, Wood will take the lead role in Grand Piano, an independent thriller scribed by Damien Chazelle (Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench) and directed by Eugenio Mira. The film centers on a piano player who, after spending five years on a professional leave of absence, comes back to perform a concert, but finds a “threatening note” scribed on the sheet music. Seeing as this is a thriller, said »

Featuring Kai Lennox, Michael O’Keefee, and Gia Mantegna, Apartment 143 is the story where a team of parapsychologists set out to investigate a series of anomalous phenomena taking place in a newly occupied apartment. Telephone calls with no caller, mysterious shadows, extraordinary light emissions, flying objects, and exploding light bulbs, are some of the events they will face while recording their every step with state-of-the-art technology. Using infra-red filming, digital photography, psychophonic recordings, movement detectors, and magnetic field alteration meters, the group.s attempts to contact the .other side. will grow increasingly dangerous as they near a point of no return…

‘Red Lights’ Trailer Sees Cillian Murphy and Robert De Niro Matching Wits With Psychic Powers
13 April 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Back in 2010, Spanish director Rodrigo Cortés got the attention of U.S. audiences by putting Ryan Reynolds in a box for Buried. Now he’s back with an ensemble number that looks at the world of celebrity psychics. The first trailer for Red Lights doesn’t let us in on the secret of whether psychic powers really exist in its world or not, but it raises the question. And what it does reveal to us along the way is that it has an impressive cast that makes it look more than worth checking out. If you want to know more about the film, you can also check out Kate’s review from Sundance – or just check out the trailer below. Sigourney Weaver plays a woman who investigates the legitimacy of those claiming to have psychic powers. She seems to be pretty good at her job, and even questions whether there are any real challenges left. Enter »

Cillian Murphy mythbusts Robert De Niro in 'Red Lights' trailer
13 April 2012 1:26 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried stuck Ryan Reynolds in a coffin for an hour and a half — it was still less claustrophobic than his Green Lantern tights — and it was good for some schlocky thrills. The director’s follow-up, Red Lights, appears to have the same thing going for it. In the trailer below, Cillian Murphy plays a professional skeptic who travels the world disproving phony psychics and charlatan clairvoyants. He works with Sigourney Weaver (who seems to have forgotten she was once taken over by a spirit herself a couple decades ago) and they both must face off against their rival, »

Robert De Niro Supernatural Thriller ‘Red Lights’ Gets Summer Release Date
7 April 2012 5:49 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Opening up to generally mixed reviews at Sundance this year, Rodrigo Cortés‘s Red Lights, starring Robert De Niro and Cillian Murphy, has nevertheless remained a certifiably intriguing up-in-the-air product for yours truly, so it’s with hopeful enthusiasm that I bring you the news of the film’s official theatrical release date: July 13th. Additionally, as previously reported, Millenium Entertainment, who dished out Rampart and is handling the upcoming Bernie, remains the distributor behind Cortés‘s film. [Shock Till You Drop]
We had a positive-leaning take on the film back when we reviewed it during the festival in January. That the review presents a particular fascination with Murphy‘s work is a thoroughly exciting sign for me — I remain a firm member of the camp that believes Murphy‘s Inception work to be that film’s most interesting in the supporting domain. It’s hard, too, not to be equally interested in the »

Posterized Propaganda April 2012: Where Art and Commerce Meet
2 April 2012 8:06 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.

There’s a good mix of work coming out in April and the posters do well to mirror such. I’m not quite sure how Rodrigo Cortés‘ could have his first film Buried possess one of the best poster series of 2010 and then return to big screens with the lackluster Vodka Creative sheet for Atm, but not everything can be perfect.
I can’t complain too much, however, since the month does bring some quality pieces of marketing material. And while Jack Black‘s creepy pedo-stash and Cardinal »

Indie Trailer Sunday: Spanish Ghost Thriller 'Apartment 143' Trailer
25 March 2012 4:48 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
"Brace yourself for this terrifying experience!" Today's trailer via Bloody-Disgusting is for Spanish horror Apartment 143, about a team of "parapsychologists" who investigate a series of phenomena in a newly occupied apartment. It definitely feels like a cross between Rec and Paranormal Activity, with a bit of modern Spanish filmmaker flair. Plus, you know you'll always get something crazy with Rodrigo Cortés (of Buried), who wrote the script. They use video, HD, 8mm, 16mm & 35mm cameras to follow the "scientists' footsteps through a haunted house, casting a frightening spell over the audience." It looks scary, and violent. Watch the first trailer, in English, for Carles Torrens' Apartment 143, via Bloody-Disgusting: A team of parapsychologists sets out to investigate a series of phenomena in a newly occupied apartment. Apartment 143, originally titled Emergo in Spanish, is directed by up-and-coming Spanish filmmaker Carles Torrens, of a few shorts previously, including Coming to Town. The »

Trailer for the Stephen Dorff Thriller Break
3 February 2012 12:00 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Stephen Dorff stars in a new triller called Break, in which he plays a man who who wakes up in the trunk of a car and has to figure out what the hell is going on and how he can escape without dying. It sounds very similar to the Rodrigo Cortés-directed film, Buried with Ryan Reynolds, where the character is trapped in a coffin through the whole movie. The two films are very similar, Break just has a few other elements added to make things a little different.
You'll be able to watch the film on February 17th on SundanceNOW.com, Amazon.com, iTunes, XBox, or Playstation. A month later it will be released in theaters on March 23rd.
Here's the Synopsis:
Jeremy Reins (Dorff) is about to have a very bad day. He wakes up in total darkness, confused and disoriented. The only light comes from the blood-red »

Red Lights Trailer: Cillian Murphy Takes on Robert De Niro's Creepy Supernatural Powers
2 February 2012 12:30 PM, PST | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »
Handsome Inception star Cillian Murphy may be taking on a less sinister role in Red Lights, but the trailer for the film looks like an equally otherworldly experience. The film premiered at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and we didn't just take notice because it was also picked up by a distributor - it's also the second effort from Rodrigo Cortés, the director of the chilling Ryan Reynolds flick Buried. In Red Lights, physicist Tom Buckley (Murphy) is assisting Dr. Margaret Matheson (Sigourney Weaver), a psychologist who investigates the supernatural and the people who claim they can channel it. After the world-renowned (and not to mention seriously creepy) psychic Simon Silver (Robert De Niro) steps back into the limelight after several years, Tom wants to investigate him. As Tom attempts to uncover the truth about Silver's gift, he goes down a crazy, creepy sinkhole of the paranormal and his own paranoia. »
