‘Killer Joe’ starring Matthew McConaughey and Emile Hirsch – trailer review
26 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: William Friedkin
Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Thomas Haden Church
Rating: Nc-17
Release Date: July 27, 2012
Trailer Score: 8/10
Thoughts by Tsr: Where is one to begin with this little piece of southern madness? There’s the Nc-17 rating, the fact that it is William Friedkin’s first film since Bug (a polarizing film, but one I love), Matthew McConaughey looking perfectly cast, and someone getting their head bashed in by a can of pumpkin pie filling. What? Nobody said Killer Joe was going to be classy.
One of the quotes used here mentions that the film is funny, something I hope proves true. There are flashes – “That’s not appropriate dinner conversation, Dottie” – but not much. I imagine there will be more pitch black humor once we get a chance to see things play out in context.
Friedkin got fantastic performances from Michael Shannon and Ashley Judd in Bug, »

Gemma Arterton, Olivia Thirlby, and Harry Treadaway Up for Jake Scott’s Jeff Buckley Film ‘Mystery White Boy’
25 May 2012 12:34 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
This film’s stop-and-start cycle has picked up once again — possibly right before it dies down once more. Almost five months after Patricia Arquette found herself in Jake Scott‘s biopic of Jeff Buckley, The Daily Mail have learned that Gemma Arterton is in talks to join the project, which has (apparently) nabbed Olivia Thirlby and Harry Treadaway (Fish Tank) since our last report.
In Scott‘s film — one that, since we last heard, has been given the title of Mystery White Boy — Arterton would appear as “a character who represents the partying women in [Buckley's] life,” a role that stands in contrast to Thirlby‘s: one of “the more responsible partners with whom Buckley enjoyed relationships.” Treadaway, in the meantime, is going musical in the picture, being pegged to play Buckley’s drummer, Matt Johnson. That’s a part he should handle with a little grace; he took a similar role in another music biopic, »

Arterton, Thirlby Love A "White Boy"
25 May 2012 8:19 AM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Gemma Arterton, Olivia Thirlby and Harry Treadaway have signed on to the Jeff Buckley biopic "Mystery White Boy" which Jake Scott ("Welcome to the Rileys") is directing reports The Daily Mail.
Buckley (to be played by Reeve Carney) emerged on the club scene in New York City in the early 1990s and recorded his only studio album "Grace" in 1994. After two years of touring, Buckley had begun work on his second album when he drowned in a boating accident in 1997 at the age of thirty. Since his death, his work has gone on to achieve success and acclaim, most notably his cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah".
Arterton would play a character who represents the partying women in his life, while Thirlby stands in for the more responsible partners with whom he enjoyed relationships. Treadaway will play Buckley’s first drummer Matt Johnson.

Even though the rival project "Greetings From Tim Buckley" is in the can and if not finished, then pretty much nearly there, the filmmakers behind the Jeff Buckley biopic "Mystery White Boy" are choosing to make it right intead of fast. With the rights locked up to use Buckley's music, the blessing of his estate who are also involved with the film, and with rehearsals with already under way with lead Reeve Carney, this one is aiming to be the only Buckley movie you'll need to see, and they're adding a trio of strong talent.
The usually on point Baz Bamigboye reports that Gemma Arterton, Olivia Thirlby and Harry Treadaway are all lining up for roles in the developing pic. Penned by Ryan Jaffe ("The Rocker"), who is using David Browne's book "Dream Brother: The Lives and Music of Jeff and Tim Buckley" to help shape the story, the »

The Darkest Hour – Bluray Review
24 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Sean (Emile Hirsch) and Ben (Max Minghella) travel to Moscow to try to launch their new website and find that their supposed business partner Skyler (Joel Kinnaman) has taken advantage of the lack of a non-disclosure agreement and launched it on his own.
As the two disconsolate gentleman are at a loose end, trying to crack onto an Australian (Rachael Taylor) and an American (Olivia Thirlby) in a generic nightclub, the sky is lit up by descending balls of light (think a slightly more sparkly and yellow version of Attack the Block) which then start to move around the city, disintegrating everyone they come into contact with and draining the city of its power. Can our protagonists get to safety? Is there anywhere safe? Who will make it? Will the film be able to make us care? All will be answered.

Dredd - New Poster Arrives From Cannes
18 May 2012 10:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
A new poster has arrived for Pete Travis' Judge Dredd reboot. The photos were featured on the cover of The Hollywood Reporter's movie guide for the Cannes film festival.
Check it out below courtesy of 2000adonline.com:
Synospsis:
Dredd takes us to the wild streets of Mega City One, the lone oasis of quasi-civilization on Cursed Earth. Judge Dredd (Karl Urban) is the most feared of elite Street Judges, with the power to enforce the law, sentence offenders and execute them on the spot – if necessary. The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and the frenetic vision of director Peter Travis bring Dredd to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film that returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra’s revered comic strip.
The reboot stars Karl Urban (Star Trek), Olivia Thirlby (Juno) and Lena Headey (Game of Thrones). Dredd »

New 'Dredd' Photos Arrive, Cannes Buzz Heats Up
18 May 2012 9:56 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Hot off its presence at Cannes, the upcoming adaptation of "Dredd" is being featured on the cover of this week's issue of The Hollywood Reporter, and it looks like things are getting pretty heated for Karl Urban's Judge Dredd.
Urban has stepped into the distinctive helmet that Sylvester Stallone wore in 1995's "Judge Dredd." Both projects are based on the character of the same name that originally appeared in the British sci-fi anthology "2000 Ad." From what we have heard, "Dredd" is going to be a lot closer in tone to the comic and will be grittier than the incarnation of the story that Stallone starred in.
A new promotional picture from the movie (which you can see above) also shows off the grittier, darker take on the "Dredd" story. Find out what people had to say about the film's debut at Cannes after the jump.

Casting She-Hulk In Today's Secret Identity
15 May 2012 9:32 AM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Joss Whedon would like to see more female heroes in "The Avengers 2." So why not She-Hulk? Introduced as Bruce Banner’s cousin who receives his powers after a blood transfusion, Jennifer Walters would be an easy introduction to the Avengers crew. As a reluctant hero forced into her powers before eventually using them transform her own personality for the better, she’s got an interesting personal story, and the built-in connection between her and Banner would be great for on-screen chemistry.
First off: She-Hulk should be cast as Jennifer Walters first and a giant green rage monster second. I mean, there are some very tall and statuesque models out there, but it’s not like Mark Ruffalo was a bodybuilder. We’ll need someone who’s believable as the sweet-natured but unyielding Walters, the one who moonlights as a capable lawyer when she isn’t busting heads as the She-Hulk. »

Superhero Smackdown: New Still Images from The Dark Knight Rises and Dredd
13 May 2012 8:50 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Just because The Avengers spent all week racking up box office records and is already doing so again, taking the title of "best second Friday" away from The Dark Knight, let's not forget that there are three more superhero movies on the horizon, each hoping to take those titles away from "Earth's Mightiest Heroes." Of the three — The Dark Knight Rises, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Dredd — Christopher Nolan's third and final Batman movie has the best chance of kicking The Avengers off of its throne in light of the fact that most of the titles that were broken this past week were previously owned by The Dark Knight. Warner Bros. has been sparing in its promotional materials for the movie, but the studio released an awesome new high-resolution photo of Tom Hardy as the man who finally breaks the Bat, Bane, to help launch the new interactive iPad edition of Total Film Magazine. »

Dredd Photo with Karl Urban Fighting to Protect Mega City One
12 May 2012 12:21 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
The original 1995 Judge Dredd upset some fans due to the amount of screen time it gave star Sylvester Stallone's face. A judge never removes his helmet. Well, the 2012 reboot seems to be holding true to its promise that we won't be seeing much of Karl Urban's beautiful profile. Which is keeping purists happy. Sad thing is, it means all the pics we get from the film look quite similar. Here, we have two more photos from Dredd, offering a masked Karl Urban once again. Hopefully a trailer will arrive soon, proving this action-heavy comic book reboot is more than just a grumpy mouth with a gun.
Dredd comes to theaters September 21st, 2012 and stars Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, Jason Cope, Warrick Grier, Joe Vaz, Langley Kirkwood, Deobia Oparei, Francis Chouler. The film is directed by Pete Travis. »

This Week on Stage: Topher Grace and Jonathan Pryce open in Off Broadway shows

More casualties on Broadway this week as the musicals Leap of Faith and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying both posted closing notices; the former is a reported $14 million flop, while the latter is a giant hit that simply ran out of steam after the departure of its original star, Daniel Radcliffe. (While Radcliffe’s replacement Nick Jonas initially drew smaller but steady crowds after arriving in January, the show has struggled at the box office in recent weeks.)
Looking forward, Tony-nominated musical hits Once and Nice Work If You Can Get It both set national tours — and »
