Casting Update for Guillermo del Toro’s The Strain TV Series
22 May 2013 12:01 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
One of the many projects Guillermo del Toro has moving forward is a TV version of The Strain, based on the trilogy of vampire novels he co-wrote with Chuck Hogan. FX has ordered a pilot episode and we have news of three more additions to the cast.
As previously reported, Corey Stoll (House of Cards) has been cast in the lead role, and Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution) will also be joining him. Stoll will be playing Dr. Ephraim Goodweather, the head of the Centers for Disease Control Canary Team in New York City, while Durand is taking on the part of “a second-generation Ukranian-American, a once-solitary rat exterminator who eagerly joins the war against vampires who have invaded New York.”
Joining them will be Jonathan Hyde (Titanic), Richard Sammel (Inglourious Basterds), and Mia Maestro (Alias). According to THR, Jonathan Hyde will play Eldritch Palmer, “an elderly tycoon who’s »

Two more names have signed on to appear in the upcoming FX adaptation of the Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan vampire opus The Strain. Read on for the details surrounding the latest additions, who happen to know a few things about changing the course of history.
THR reports that Titanic's Jonathan Hyde (pictured) and Inglourious Basterds' Richard Sammel have boarded the television project. Hyde will portray the series regular role of Eldritch Palmer, an elderly tycoon who's the third-richest man in the world who has been an invalid since childhood. Though his life-long fight against his frail body, he's developed a relentless drive to attain immortality by any means necessary.
Sammel, meanwhile, will play Thomas Eichorst, a mysterious figure from Professor Abraham Setrakian's past whose re-emergence in New York is not a coincidence. (The role of Setrakian has yet to be cast.) They join the previously announced Corey Stoll, »

Date Moved Up For The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones
22 May 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
It seems to be a trend with movies, most recently I’ve noticed it with Star Trek Into Darkness, but movies have started to move their dates up to Wednesday instead of the traditional Friday to capitalize on their opening weekend. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is the latest to take advantage of the trend.
According to book author, Cassandra Clare on her Tumblr, the release date has been moved up to August 21, and she’s thrilled about it.
I’m really excited because it means the fans will get to see the movie earlier! It also reflects a lot of confidence in the film on the part of the studio to move it to a Wednesday release date so I’m really excited about that, too.

First Official Still From West Memphis Three Biopic ‘Devil’s Knot’
21 May 2013 5:11 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Those fascinated, angered and equally disturbed by Bruce Sinofsky and Joe Berlinger’s acclaimed trio of Paradise Lost documentaries, as well as Amy Berg’s recent West Of Memphis, may be intrigued to see how fact-based crime biopic Devil’S Knot plays out. The film, directed by Atom Egoyan, is based on the same-titled book by Mara Leveritt, centring on the harrowing case of the three young boys murdered in Arkansas, 1993 and the subsequent controversial incarceration of the West Memphis Three (Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley Jr.).
The official first image of the true-crime thriller features Reese Witherspoon as Pam Hobbs, the mother of Steve Branch (who was one of the three children so brutally butchered) alongside Alessandro Nivola as Terry Hobbs, her husband and Steve’s stepfather. The film also stars Colin Firth, Bruce Greenwood, Dane DeHaan, Mireille Enos, Kevin Durand, Stephen Moyer and Elias Koteas.

66th Cannes Film Festival Review - Fruitvale Station (2013)
17 May 2013 4:12 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Fruitvale Station, 2013.
Written and Directed by Ryan Coogler.
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Kevin Durand, Chad Michael Murray, Melonie Diaz and Octavia Spencer.
Synopsis:
The true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.
Ryan Coogler's directorial debut was a favourite at the Sundance Festival, and deservedly so. It is a stunning piece of narrative that tells the true story of Oscar Grant III (Michael B. Jordan), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident of San Francisco, and his final New Year's Eve.
The film's opening scene is shot on a phone and shows a group of unidentified men being detained by police officers on a station platform. The scene is brutal, shocking and nothing we haven't seen or read about before.
Next we see Oscar in his room with girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz). His amorous advances come to nothing, »

Cannes 2013: Fruitvale Station Review
16 May 2013 8:16 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Occasionally Cannes will follow the trend set by Sundance, and cherry-pick a couple of the American festival’s biggest successes to add to its own competitions. Last year the exceptional Beasts Of The Southern Wild followed that path, and this year, the pleasure goes to Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station, which picked up a lot of heat at Sundance, and which will benefit from the critical reception from this screening in Cannes, if the early responses are anything to go by, when it gets a release.
Projects like this deserve the attention that can come from successful associations with grand old institutes like Cannes, and it’s a distinct pleasure to see this kind of film in competition alongside some major established talents.
That said, there are a number of big names associated with Fruitvale Station – Chad Michael Murray will be familiar for his TV work »

Chris Pine Joins Patrick Wilson In Joe Carnahan's 'Stretch'
14 May 2013 2:33 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
A long, long time ago, before Chris Pine was Captain Kirk, he had a very different kind of role; one of the three psychotic Tremor Brothers (alongside Kevin Durand and Maury Sterling), "Mad Max"-like neo-Nazis who stole the show in Joe Carnahan's fun-on-paper, less-so-in-practice "Smokin' Aces." The film didn't make much of an impact, and many forget that Pine was even in, but he clearly made an impression on the director; Carnahan wanted to cast Pine alongside George Clooney in his film version of James Ellroy's "White Jazz" (and in his Escobar movie "Killing Pablo") only to be foiled when Pine was cast in J.J. Abrams' "Star Trek" reboot. Neither of Carnahan's pictures ever came together, but with the filmmaker coming off the strong reviews of "The Grey," and Pine about to top up his stardom with this week's "Star Trek Into Darkness," the two are finally set to reteam, »

I have no idea why you would debut a trailer on a Friday night, but that's exactly what the Weinstein Co. did with their Fruitvale Station trailer so I decided to just hold off and make it a first priority this Monday morning as I am currently flying somewhere over the middle of the U.S. on my way to Cannes where I will be seeing Fruitvale this Thursday, May 16. Directed by Ryan Coogler, Fruitvale Station won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival and will play the Un Certain Regard selection at Cannes this year.

Debuting at Sundance at the start of the year, Fruitvale Station – then screening under the name Fruitvale – instantly became a contender for the awards season at the end of the year, only further bolstered by its acquisition by The Weinstein Company.
Based on a true story, the film was initially expected to be released in the height of the awards season in October this year, but was shifted to a summer release in a surprise move from TWC. With the film heading to Cannes this month, and its July Us release date not far off, the powerful first trailer has debuted over on Yahoo Movies.
