The first trailer is in for the intriguing Paranoia and, much to those looking to drool a little, features a few steamy shots of Liam Hemsworth and Amber Heard together. The Relativity Media release tells of an entry-level employee who has an opportunity to strike it rich and land that slick office working under Nicholas Wyatt (Gary Oldman), but in turn must spy on his boss's old mentor (Harrison Ford) to secure for him a multi-billion dollar advantage. He's reinvented, and blends in, taking home a revolutionary product, but Wyatt isn't letting his mole go free so easily. Josh Holloway stars as part of the FBI's criminal investigation unit. Also in the cast are Embeth Davidz, Richard Dreyfuss, Julian McMahon, Lucas Till, Angela Sarafyan, Christine Marzano, Charlie Hofheimer and William Pertz. »

We covered Would You Rather when it was first released to VOD earlier this year and it’s been announced that the movie is headed to Blu-ray and DVD next month. According to Blu-ray.com, IFC Films will make Blu-ray and DVD versions of the movie available on July 9th. Unfortunately, there are no special features included aside from the original trailer.
With that being said, we previously covered the news that director David Guy Levy made audio commentary available free to download. To learn more, visit our earlier story at: http://dailydead.com/listen-to-audio-commentary-from-would-you-rather/

Is Mad Men’s Megan Draper about to be murdered à la Sharon Tate? Internet conspiracy theorists say yes. My take on the rumors and what the show’s costume designer has to say. At The Daily Beast, you can read my latest feature, "Mad Men: The Bizarre Megan Draper as Sharon Tate Conspiracy Theory," in which I examine the current Internet conspiracy theories swirling around Mad Men's Megan Draper and see what the show's costume designer, Janie Bryant, had to say about the star t-shirt and more. On AMC’s Mad Men this season, Megan Draper (Jessica Paré), the actress wife of Jon Hamm’s Don Draper, has had some success in her own career, landing a meaty role on an ongoing daily soap opera where she’s now playing twins Colette and Corinne. In this week’s episode (“The Better Half”), Megan took to the balcony »

The article below contains spoilers for "The Better Half," the May 26th, 2013 episode of "Mad Men." That was one hell of a breakup. "The Better Half" was an episode with all sorts of enjoyably sharp edges to it, one notable for an utterly unexpected dalliance between Don (Jon Hamm) and Betty (January Jones), a venture from Roger (John Slattery) toward his own ex and the woman who bore his child Joan (Christina Hendricks) and a reappearance from Duck Phillips (Mark Moses) in a new gig as a headhunter. But these developments, interesting as they are, pale beside the dramatic end of Abe (Charlie Hofheimer) and Peggy's (Elisabeth Moss) relationship. There's apparently nothing like accidentally stabbing your boyfriend in the gut to get him to tell you what he really thinks, and in an instance of the black humor that "Mad Men" can do very well -- the episode was written »

We can't go so far as to call "The Better Half" an optimistic episode of "Mad Men," but there's an unusual sense of hopefulness to the little breakthroughs (and one big breakup) that occur throughout.
Don, Roger and even Pete have conversations that force them to confront uncomfortable realities about their relationships, while Peggy weathers a more direct hit to her personal life. As the show enters the home stretch -- only four more episodes left this season! -- the question becomes whether or not any of these events can get the characters moving in the right direction to improve their lives.
[Note: In the spirit of showrunner Matthew Weiner declaring that this season is about Dr. Arnold Rosen telling Don, "People will do anything to alleviate their anxiety," we're tracking the happiness of key characters week by week.]
The "Mad Men" happiness index, week eight:
1) Bob Benson (unranked last week): He still seems far too good to be true, but Bob is happily romancing Joan and referring a nurse to help with Pete's mother's dementia, so this background player assumes Roger's usual spot at the top for a week. »

**Spoilers from Sunday’s episode follow.**
Ted Chaough has been infatuated with two characters on “Mad Men” — Peggy Olson and Don Draper — and Sunday, in a sense, he kissed them both.
The actor who plays Chaough, Kevin Rahm, has spent more than a decade in TV and is in his third season appearing on AMC’s “Mad Men,” but in a very real way, the bigtime really hit with Sunday’s season-six sixth segment, “For Immediate Release.”
“I was elated,” Rahm told Variety on Monday. “When they offered me the chance to join the cast on a more regular basis, Matt (showrunner Matt Weiner) said that some good things were coming. Lizzy (Elisabeth Moss, who plays Peggy) had read the script before me, and she said, ‘I can’t wait for you to read episode six — you’re going to be so excited about the great thing that happens.’ “

We are now up to the year 1968 for the double-episode season 6 opener of Mad Men. This already seems to be the show’s most progressive season so far costume wise. Season 5 certainly took the most significant cultural jump, with Swinging Sixties politics, clothes and interiors looming like a shadow of coolness. In the latter half of season 5, aspiring actress Megan’s (Jessica Paré) capri pants and sweater audition wear, while not exactly beatnik were avant-garde enough to suggest the growing exuberance of her character. The times they are a-changin’.
For season 6, costume designer Janie Bryant looks to be channelling the same ideal as season 1, but whereas season 1 (set in 1960) was a crossover in terms of fashion from the 1950s/60’s, season 6 is transitional from the 1960s/70’s. As we are only in 1968 it could be argued this is a mite early, but cleverly Bryant only hints at the changes to come. »

Don't panic, "Mad Men" fans: Elisabeth Moss is very much back in action for Season 6 as secretary-turned-ad agency executive Peggy Olson.
When Peggy decided to quit Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce during Season 5 -- and leave behind her mentor Don Draper (Jon Hamm) -- some viewers worried Moss and her fan favorite character might simply disappear from the show. Although she's not at liberty to say much about the new season, Moss does confirm that she's most definitely a part of it -- and she's been very "pleasantly surprised" with what Peggy has had to do.
But don't expect many details beyond that. "That's my joke," Moss cracked during a roundtable discussion at a recent Los Angeles press day. "I can only say I play Peggy Olson and I work in advertising. I can't even say where I work, or who I'm working with. Super boring."
It's not all boring, however, »

"Mad Men" Season 6 premieres on April 7 at 9 p.m. Et on AMC, and the new year finds Peggy Olsen (Elisabeth Moss) in unfamiliar territory, thanks to her new position as Copy Chief at Cutler Gleason and Chaough -- a rival agency to Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce.
Outside the not-so-supportive support system at Sdcp, Peggy has more power, but plenty of uncertainty along with it, and star Elisabeth Moss told The Huffington Post that the season's main theme is "people trying to get away from themselves and having a lot of trouble with that, and being chased by their own shadows." According to Moss, our characters will be faced with the troubling question: "Do people ever really change?"
Read on for more from our conversation with Moss, including what she thinks Peggy has learned from Don (Jon Hamm), whether she can maintain a relationship with Abe (Charlie Hofheimer) despite their ideological differences, »

Director David Guy Levy and Writer Steffen Schlachtenhaufen have recorded an audio commentary to accompany their grisly thriller Would You Rather? The track, which you can download via Soundcloud below, is synced to the film, which stars Brittany Snow and Sasha Grey as two financially desperate women who, along with others in similar situations, are offered a way out of their troubles by a mysterious aristocrat (Re-Animator's Jeffrey Combs), whose “solution” involves the title game, a horrific series of one-ups with grisly consequences. John Heard, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Eddie Steeples and Charlie Hofheimer also star.
Would You Rather? is available now via iTunes, Amazon and other digital vendors, and you can use the widget below to download the commentary to play along with the film (for your second viewing, of course – no doubt there's spoilers galore in there). It is set to start on the first note of music at the beginning of the film. »

David Guy Levy’s Would You Rather caught me off guard to say the least. Expecting a typical torture filled entry akin to the Hostel series or similar films, I was pleasantly surprised to instead be treated to a fun as hell movie that stayed with me long after it was over (review). Now, it looks as if Levy, along with writer Steffen Schlachtenhaufen have released a downloadable commentary on Soundcloud that you can listen to while enjoying the film on its current VOD and iTunes run.
Synopsis:

Title: Would You Rather Director: David Guy Levy Starring: Brittany Snow, Sasha Grey, Jeffrey Combs, Jonny Coyne, Eddie Steeples, John Heard, June Squibb, Robin Lord Taylor, Enver Gjokaj, Charlie Hofheimer, Robb Wells A slice of dinner theater torture porn that attempts to mine the inner sadism of regular folks for squirm-inducing entertainment, “Would You Rather” comes across like a combination of “Saw” and 1995′s “The Last Supper,” but without any of the queasy delight that designation might connote. Scripted by Steffen Schlachtenhaufen as a twisted exploration of the titular party game, director David Guy Levy’s movie isn’t wickedly playful enough to qualify as a darkly comedic horror romp, a la the “Final [ Read More ]

IFC recently released Would You Rather to VOD and digital download services, and we’ve been provided with four clips to share with our readers. The movie stars Jeffrey Combs at the center of an exclusive dinner party that plays a deadly version of “Would You Rather.”

It never helps when a half-decent indie horror film is saddled with a title that's confusing, generic, or vague. There is an endless amount of solid (or at least decent) horror indies to be found on Amazon, iTunes, and Netflix -- so one could be forgiven for confusing "Truth or Dare" with "Truth or Die" or for mistaking "Would You Rather" with "Did You Know" or perhaps "Spin the Bottle." (How has there not been a horror film called "Spin the Bottle" yet??) Anyway, all of this is a hopefully amusing way to open a review with the opinion that, yes, the strange, savage, and appreciably dark Would You Rather is considerably more interesting than its (confusing/vague/generic) title may indicate.
The phrase "Would You Rather," as you probably know, is a reference to a game teenagers play. ("Would you rather kiss Janie or.... lick a dog's food bowl? »
