Gary Oldman And Dominic Monaghan Join Monster Butler
9 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Monster Butler, the new independent film from director Doug Rath, is one seriously weird, dark project. The movie is based on the true story of Roy Fontaine (aka Archibald Hall), a "bisexual jewel thief/con man/serial killer" and his descent into madness. It already has one key bit of weird/dark casting in place, as A Clockwork Orange legend Malcolm McDowell is already attached to play Fontaine, but now THR is reporting that the film has added the first name that comes to mind when you think of weird/dark actors. Gary Oldman has signed onto the indie, as has Lord of the Rings star Dominic Monaghan. The film will see Oldman playing a character named Wiggy, Fontaine's partner who has serious anger management problems and also works as a taxidermist. Monaghan is attached to play David Wright (not to be confused with the New York Mets' third baseman »
Danny Boyle's Trainspotting named best British film, Harry Potter comes third and seventh
28 May 2012 2:30 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Trainspotting has been named the best British film of the past six decades.
The druggie drama - starring Ewan McGregor and Robert Carlyle - triumphed in a Diamond Jubilee poll staged by retail chain HMV to find the top screen hits of the Queen's reign.
Monty Python And The Holy Grail was runner-up in the poll, while another Python comedy Life Of Brian was ranked fourth.
A pair of Harry Potter films made the top 10, as did two movies by the late British-based Us director Stanley Kubrick, namely A Clockwork Orange and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Trainspotting was based on the novel by Irvine Welsh about a group of heroin addicts in late 1980s Edinburgh.
The film - also famous for its soundtrack - was made by Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle, soon to take a major role at London 2012 as the artistic director of the opening ceremony.

Recap of the Serenity Hero Complex Screening with Nathan Fillion; Also Talks Much Ado About Nothing, Firefly Reunion, and Joss Whedon
21 May 2012 8:19 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
This weekend Hero Complex in association with The Los Angeles Times hosted the third annual Hero Complex Film Festival. Highlights to which included a screening of Shaun of the Dead with Edgar Wright, Wall-e with director Andrew Stanton, A Clockwork Orange with Malcolm McDowell, and Robocop with Peter Weller. Joss Whedon’s cult-favorite Serenity closed out the festival Sunday night. Star Nathan Fillion was on hand to discuss the film and its short-lived television predecessor Firefly. (I still maintain that show’s season/series finale "Objects in Space to be the finest piece of writing Whedon’s ever done.) In the post screening Q&A, Fillion reflected on reuniting with the cast for the film, reciting Whedon’s particular cadences and previews his role in another Whedon project/film: Much Ado About Nothing. For all this and more, hit the jump. What follows is a recap of the post–Serenity »

Timothy Bottoms: The Hollywood Interview

Timothy Bottoms Gets His Pound Of Flesh
By
Timothy Bottoms became an overnight sensation at the height of the so-called “Easy Riders and Raging Bulls” era, after landing the leading role in The Last Picture Show (1971), Peter Bogdanovich’s film about the social and sexual rites of small town Texans in the early 1950s. Internationally acclaimed for his portrait of Sonny, a sensitive kid struggling to find his way in the harsh landscape of post-war America, the then-twenty year-old Bottoms suddenly found himself not only in-demand as a rising young star, but a major celebrity, as well, with younger brothers Sam (who co-starred in The Last Picture Show), Joseph and Ben following in their older brother’s footsteps, making names for themselves on stage and screen. Bottoms reprised the role of Sonny for Picture Show's 1990 sequel, Texasville.

20 May 2012 11:00 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
While the first night of the third annual Hero Complex Film Festival was all about zombies, the movies presented on the second day covered much more cinematic ground than just one genre. The day started with a screening of Paul Verhoven's 1987 film Robocop, with by a very bizarre Q&A with star Peter Weller. Legendary makeup specialist Rick Baker was also a surprise guest, followed by a Q&A with Malcolm McDowell and a screening of Stanley Kubrick's 1971 classic A Clockwork Orange. James Gunn's 2010 indie film Super finished off the night, with a Q&A from Gunn and star Rainn Wilson, too. More below! Following the screening of the more violent director's cut of Robocop, star Peter Weller came out dressed in Native American leather jacket and proceeded to give one of the strangest public speeches I've ever heard. Moderator Geoff Boucher could barely get a word in »

This weekend Hero Complex in association with The Los Angeles Times hosted the third annual Hero Complex Film Festival. Highlights to which included a screening of Shaun of the Dead with Edgar Wright, Wall-e with director Andrew Stanton and A Clockwork Orange with star Malcolm McDowell. I was on hand Saturday for the fest at a midday screening of Paul Verhoeven’s seminal satirical ultraviolent masterpiece RoboCop. Star Peter Weller appeared after the screening for a lengthy and animated Q&A wherein he discussed prepping for RoboCop, learning to appreciate the satirical bend of the film and his thoughts on a hypothetical remake, among many other topics of conversation. For highlights from the Q&A, hit the jump. What follows are highlights from the Peter Weller RoboCop Q&A moderated by Geoff Boucher: Weller recounted three weeks prior in Dallas, he sat down and watched RoboCop for the first time in twenty so odd years. »

Joss Whedon's 'Serenity' Is Still Going Strong
18 May 2012 2:01 PM, PDT | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
by Tami Katzoff
Cue the “Buffy” theme song – you’re now reading a brand new column called The Weekly Whedon. If you’re new to Whedon fandom, welcome aboard. If you’re an old-schooler like myself… shiny!
Of course everybody’s still buzzing about Joss’ latest directorial effort, “The Avengers.” But since this is the inaugural Ww column I’m going to focus on the first film he directed – “Serenity.” It didn’t shatter box office records like “The Avengers” did, and it wasn’t populated with A-list stars, but “Serenity” was significant and ground-breaking in its own way. It was an anomaly, a studio film that was made because fans of a short-lived cult TV show demanded it.
If you’re not familiar with the story-behind-the-story, here’s a brief synopsis: After the early cancellation by Fox of Whedon’s space-western series “Firefly” in late 2002, fans were in an uproar. »

A new deal for old films
16 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | eyeforfilm.co.uk | See recent eyeforfilm.co.uk news »
If, like Woody Allen, you find that one of life's greatest pleasures is watching old movies in the afternoon, you'll be pleased to hear that Park Circus have completed a deal with Warner Bros to bring more of their classic works back to cinema screens. Alongside the likes of The Jazz Singer, Mildred Pierce and A Clockwork Orange are films by other companies that Warner Bros now control, such as The Shawshank Redemption and My Own Private Idaho.
Since Park Circus started out in 2003, digitally restoring damaged prints, they've seen a rapid growth in the market for classic re-releases. This corresponds with shifting demographics as more older people make cinema a regular part of their lives, but there are also large numbers of young people enthusiastic about the chance to see famous works the way they were intended. "The market just keeps getting bigger and bigger," said Park Circus representative. »

16 May 2012 1:09 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Happy Birthday, A Clockwork Orange

Anthony Burgess's diabolical tale of juvenile ultraviolence is 50. Five decades on, the novel holds a lofty position as one of pop culture's most influential and enduring pieces of literature
Fifty years ago today, Anthony Burgess published his ninth novel, A Clockwork Orange. Reviewing it in the Observer, Kingsley Amis called the book "the curiosity of the day". Five decades later and there is still nothing quite like it.
When discussing A Clockwork Orange, many mistakenly confuse the book with Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film and immediately focus on the violence of the story, when really it's the language of the book – a vernacular so lively and colourful it renders those much-discussed descriptions of beatings and rape almost – almost – comical – that is its most remarkable and revolutionary aspect. Kubrick's dazzling adaptation contributed greatly to the book's ascension to the lofty position it holds today as one of pop culture's most influential and enduring pieces of literature, »

The HeyUGuys Cinema Release Round-up : 11th May
11 May 2012 6:22 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
As expected, American Pie: Reunion had a solid first week at the box office but didn’t trouble the all-conquering Avengers at the top of the cinematic pile.
Truth be told I don’t see anything getting near the Marvel epic for another week or so yet either. It smashed the opening weekend box office record set by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 in the States and unsurprisingly a sequel has been confirmed this week by the studio.
This week’s big release though should do a pretty bit of business at the box office as well with Tim Burton’s latest quirky baroque offering Dark Shadows making its arrival on the big screen.
Burton has amassed some serious box office bank with his recent offerings such as Charlie and the Chocolate Factor and Alice in Wonderland and can now pretty much do whatever he pleases in the eyes of his employers. »

Kick-Ass creator Mark Millar has been promising an announcement on the proposed sequel to Matthew Vaughn's 2010 hit comic book adaptation and now Deadline has revealed that Universal Pictures are in talks to produce Kick-Ass 2, with Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Never Back Down) signing on to direct the film based upon his own screenplay.
According to Deadline's report, negotiations are currently underway with cast members Aaron Johnson (Nowhere Boy), Chloë Grace Moretz (Dark Shadows) and Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad) to reprise their roles and filming is expected to commence this August. Matthew Vaughn will remain involved with the project in a producing capacity, but has handed over directing duties to Wadlow due to his commitments on the as-yet-untitled sequel to X-Men: First Class.
"Kick-Ass was about a kid who loved superhero comics going out dressed up as a superhero and doing what he had always fantasized about doing. The sequel is more like A Clockwork Orange, »

Looking back at Blue Thunder
8 May 2012 6:53 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
John Badham’s high-tech helicopter thriller Blue Thunder rode the crest of a decade obsessed with cool cars and aircraft. Ryan takes a look back…
Back in the 1980s, a company called Sega perfected what it referred to as the Full Body Experience. Less kinky than it sounds, this fusion of Crt television, videogame technology and hydraulic pistons aimed to give amusement arcade visitors a taste of what it might be like to drive a Ferrari Testarossa or motorcycle at breakneck speed or fly a fighter jet through a valley full of enemy aircraft.
For a generation of youths, these machines, with their chunky graphics and even chunkier controls, are the stuff of legend, and the mere mention of their names – Hang On, Out Run, After Burner, Space Harrier, Thunder Blade – is enough to evoke involuntary memories of Proustian proportions.
These half-remembered machines sum up the 80s era of mechanical wish fulfilment. »

Review: Piggy
3 May 2012 4:00 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Martin Compson, Neil Maskell, Paul Anderson, Josh Herdman, Louise Dylan | Written and Directed by Kieron Hawkes
I think I started to worry with Piggy when I saw the poster and it had a quote on it saying it was the “New Clockwork Orange”, the first thing that sprang into my head at that moment was it had a lot to prove. A Clockwork Orange is one of my favourite films so of course my sceptical mind was awoken straight away. This of course was a comment from another review that had been used so you can’t hold it against the film for what a critic has said. I would state though, you can’t beat A Clockwork Orange for what it does, it is that simple.
Piggy is another one of those gritty Brit flicks that we seem to do so well. It tells the tale of Joe, »
