Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 5 of 5)
30 May 2012 10:08 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Gary Oldman as Jackie Flannery in State Of Grace (Phil Joanou, 1990, USA):
Long considered one of the most talented actors in cinema, it’s very strange that his outstanding acting as the younger brother of Ed Harris’ local crime boss in this underrated film doesn’t get talked about nearly enough when discussing Oldman’s body of work. This is a must-see performance for all Oldman fans. For the record, State Of Grace is a far better Irish mob film than The Departed (Martin Scorsese, 2006, USA), primarily because it contains much better acting across the board. Oldman was nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (Tomas Alfredson, 2011, UK/France).
Other notable Gary Oldman performances: Prick Up Your Ears (Stephen Frears, 1987, USA), Dracula (Francis Ford Coppola, 1992, USA), True Romance (Tony Scott, 1993, USA), Leon: The Professional (Luc Besson, 1994, France), Air Force One (Wolfgang Petersen, 1997, USA), The Contender (Rod Lurie, »

Christopher Lee 90th Birthday: 90 Reasons The Horror Icon is Awesome
24 May 2012 1:58 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
On May 27, British film icon Christopher Lee turns 90 years old. In his long and storied career, he's delivered countless fantastic performances in everything from medieval adventures to gothic scary stories. (You may know him as Saruman, Count Dooku, the Man with the Golden Gun or even Count Dracula.) And he has no plans to slow down, as indicated by recent roles in the Oscar-winning"Hugo" and this month's "Dark Shadows" -- not to mention an upcoming return to Middle Earth with this December's "Hobbit." Lee is not just an actor, but a decorated military man and bombastic heavy metal singer, with a crazy family lineage to boot. To celebrate the legend's 90th birthday, we present 90 reasons why Christopher Lee is awesome. 1. He's the step-cousin of "James Bond" creator Ian Fleming, and was the author's first choice to play Dr. No in the film adaptation. 2. He's in the Guinness Book of »

Cannes: Horror stalks the Croisette in 'Dario Argento's Dracula' and an amazing documentary about 'The Shining'
21 May 2012 11:49 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
At a film festival dominated by subtitled deep-think, you sometimes need a break. You need a meal, or a drink, or a nap. Or, just maybe, you need a movie like Dario Argento’s Dracula. I’ve never been the biggest fan of this schlock-operatic Italian splatter maven, but after such fevered orgies of gore as Suspiria and Unsane, the thought of him going back to the source — going back to Dracula — sounded appealing. Dracula turns out to be ripely entertaining in a kitschy-sincere old-fashioned way. (The kitsch is in how sincere it is.) It’s true, to a far greater degree than I expected, »

Cannes Review: Tits, Teeth, and Rutger Hauer in Dario Argento’s ‘Dracula 3D’
20 May 2012 12:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Sitting in a theater watching a fair few people walk out in protest at the poor quality of Dracula 3D, you have to wonder whether they knew anything about horror legend Dario Argento, and if so what exactly they expected from the director whose name alone guarantees an audience. Because Argento has a certain set of skills, which aren’t necessarily reconcilable with what is great about film these days, but to give due credit, he hasn’t really deviated from the same tracks for decades, and the result is generally an entertaining affair all the same. This time out he’s taken the iconic Dracula story on, giving horror’s most famous character (played here by Thomas Kretschmann) his first 3D treatment, and adding a few other brand new touches to the iconic story of how the Count tricked Jonathan Harker (Unax Ugalde) into working for him in order to take his wife Mina (Marta Gastini) for »

Here’s the latest poster and a completely new trailer for the upcoming Dracula 3D, Dario Argento‘s newest project which will screen at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

Crystal Sky to Unleash 'Dracula: The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse'
17 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Crystal Sky, the production company whose names sounds more like a diet soft drink, has just announced plans for a Dracula film whose name sounds more like a Left Behind novel: The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. More after the jump. The last big-budget blockbuster Dracula film was Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula (pictured above). Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, "Crystal Sky will go into production this summer on Dracula: The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, to be shot on location in Romania. Pearry Reginald Teo (Necromentia) is directing. [CEO Steven] Paul is looking to cast a star in the lead." "'It's the first installment in a franchise about a young, romantic Prince »
Cannes: 'Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir' tries to turn its subject into a victim. Plus, Marion Cotillard is sunk by the dismal 'Rust and Bone'
17 May 2012 1:09 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
The Cannes Film Festival has long been a friendly home to Roman Polanski. It’s a place where he still occasionally shows up, assured that he won’t be bombarded by the kind of hanging-judge hostility that will inevitably be expressed in the comments at the end of this post. I’m tempted — oh, how I’m tempted! — to leave the He’s a great artist!/He’s a child rapist! debates to all of you, but the interesting and troublesome new documentary Roman Polanski: A Film Memoir inevitably calls up all the old tidbits and scandals and moral questions once again. »

The John Bensalhia Column: Scream of the crop
14 May 2012 1:07 PM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
So here is a slight change of pace – I'll be branching out into other areas apart from Doctor Who, including film franchises, TV shows and comedies. How's about kicking off with a scary movie series then? Newbies be warned – there are so many spoilers in this article, that Doctor Who's River Song would explode with smug rage.
By the middle of the 1990s, the horror film had seemingly died for good. Just like Dracula slowly rotting away to a skeleton, the horror genre had slowly ebbed away for the past decade or so. Hammer Horror classics from the 1960s and 1970s had given way to popular horror franchises in the 1980s such as Friday The 13th and A Nightmare On Elm Street, but even by the mid-1990s, these had seemingly vanished into the ether. However, acclaimed director Wes Craven along with Kevin Williamson were to breathe new life into the rotting genre. »
Neil Marshall to Direct 'Dracula' Tale 'The Last Voyage of the Demeter'
14 May 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
The Descent filmmaker Neil Marshall will be directing Season of the Witch scribe Bragi Schut's The Last Voyage of the Demeter — a project that THR relates Schut wrote a decade ago and has been long-gestating. Directors like Robert Schwentke, Marcus Nispel, and Twilight: Eclipse's David Slade have been attached to the film over the years — with Ben Kingsley and Noomie Rapace signed on to star last year, even — but The Demeter never set sail. We hope Marshall is in it for the long haul, as his ability to craft a dark sense of claustrophobic, atmospheric dread in his 2005 creepy cave movie would translate perfectly for the Dracula tale. The Demeter, of course, is the ship that transports Bram Stoker's Dracula from Transylvania to...

Cannes 2012: Watch the Trailer for Dario Argento's 'Dracula 3-D'
14 May 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
I can't really say I was expecting much, but the trailer for Dario Argento's Dracula 3D doesn't have me interested in the slightest. Lame CG effects are one thing, but I don't see anything that would make me think Argento was coming at this age old story with anything other than the 3D gimmick. Starring Thomas Kretschmann as Dracula, Asia Argento, Marta Gastini, Unax Ugalde, Miriam Giovanelli and Rutger Hauer as Van Helsing, the film appears to be no more than the traditional take on Bram Stoker's "Dracula" with awful CG effects and very lame line-reading. The pic is set to be screened as part of the Midnight selection at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival and will have its first screenings on Sunday, May 20, but I can't really say I'm going to make it a priority. I have a feeling it would be more fun to walk around the »

Neil Marshall Captaining Demeter
13 May 2012 9:50 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
For a while now 30 Days Of Night director David Slade has been at the helm of The Last Voyage Of Demeter. But despite some early casting rumours and seeming development, as more and more projects have landed on Slade’s desk, the Demeter has met rougher seas on its trip to the screen. Which might explain why it now has a new captain, with Neil Marshall jumping aboard. While this new change at the top doesn’t necessarily mean it’ll now sprint for cinemas, it’s an encouraging thought that one solid UK director has been switched out for another and a better chance of production.For those in need of a plot refresher, Demeter tells the tale of the ship mentioned in Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which transported the titular vampire to England. In the book, the vessel arrives mysteriously, floundering on the Whitby shore with no survivors, »
Neil Marshall set to Direct Last Voyage Of The Demeter
13 May 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
It looks like the Dracula inspired film project Last Voage of the Demeter is ready to set sail again. Neil Marshall (The Decent, Centerion) is attached to direct it.
The script for the movie was written by Bragi Schut over a decade ago and it tells the story of the Demeter, the name of the ship that transported Dracula from Transylvania to London in Bram Stoker's classic story. If you remember from the novel, the ship washes up on the shores of England, tattered and broken, with one raving mad survivor. The film will tell the tale of that journey, in which the crew is slaughtered one-by-one by a mysterious passenger.
This is an awesome film concept and I'm surprised that it hasn't been completed yet. David Slade (30 Days of Night) was attached to direct last year with Ben Kingsley and Noomi Rapace set to star. It obviously fell »

Neil Marshall Setting Sail with The Last Voyage of the Demeter
12 May 2012 7:54 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
The Dracula story has been told many times and in many forms over the years and now Hollywood is ready to take another stab at the material with The Last Voyage of the Demeter. This latest retelling will take a more specific focus on Bram Stoker's tale as the film portrays Dracula's journey from Transylvania to London on board the ship Demeter, where the crew is systematically picked off by the mysterious passenger. The project has undergone a lengthy and troubled history, having gone through several directors such as Robert Schwentke and Marcus Nispel, as well as David Slade who had Ben Kingsley and Noomi Rapace attached before the deal fell through. Now, none other than Neil Marshall has signed on to direct, marking a return to the horror genre where he first made his name. After the initial success Marshall made with horror efforts Dog Soldiers and The Descent, »

Neil Marshall Boards The Last Voyage of the Demeter
11 May 2012 10:43 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
It seems like Millennium Films has been trying to get Bragi Schut’s decades-old script “The Last Voyage of the Demeter”, yet another “re-imagining” of Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” tale, made for, well, a decade or two. Horror reboot mastermind Marcus Nispel was originally attached to direct the project, but that was way back in 2009. He eventually left. By 2010, suddenly hot “Dragon” girl Noomi Rapace and Ben Kingsley were attached to star, but that was back in 2010, and who knows if they’re still attached. Then as early as early 2011, “30 Days of Night’s” David Slade tried his hand on the project. He, too, has since left. The latest name attached to the long-sailing (get it?) Dracula film is the master of splatter himself, Neil Marshall (“The Descent”, “Doomsday”). Of course, whether Marshall’s attachment actually results in the film happening is anybody’s guest. Originally written by Schut (“Season of the Witch »

Icons Exclusive Interview: Director Darren Lynn Bousman

*Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on Icons Of Fright’s sister site Massive Hysteria back in September of 2010. With this week’s DVD/Blu-Ray releases of both Mother’S Day and 11-11-11, we thought we’d present it again to the Icons audience completely unedited and uncut. Check it!
Considering director Darren Lynn Bousman’s impressive body of work, which spans over 3 Saw sequels, the crazy rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, an episode of NBC’s short lived Fear Itself TV series and the upcoming remake of Mother’S Day, it’s a surprise that we never got him in the hot seat for an extensive Icons Of Fright interview. So, with the launch of Massive Hysteria, we decided that he would make for the ideal interviewee to kick things off in style!

Neil Marshall Sails On The "Demeter"
11 May 2012 7:57 PM, PDT | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
After being stuck for many years in development, it looks like "The Last Voyage of the Demeter" will finally be sailing forward as Neil Marshall ("The Descent") is in talks to direct the project for Millennium Films reports Heat Vision.
Based on a chapter in Bram Stoker's classic novel "Dracula", the story describes the disturbing voyage taken by the vampire count to England on a merchant vessel shipping cargo from Transylvania to London.
Stoker tells the story via the captain's log of the voyage, which begins in Bulgaria and becomes increasingly disjointed as members of the crew disappear as Dracula feeds on them to sustain himself.
The ship eventually crashes on the rocks at Whitby with the only soul on board the dead captain who has been lashed to the steering wheel.
Bragi Schut ("Season of the Witch") penned the script a decade ago which has had the likes »

Neil Marshall to Helm Dracula Pic, The Last Voyage Of The Demeter
11 May 2012 6:37 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The Descent director, Neil Marshall, may finally launch The Last Voyage of the Demeter, a Dracula-themed feature that has been land-locked for the past decade. The story of Demeter goes back more than a century; it was the name of the ship that transported Dracula from Transylvania to London in Bram Stoker's 1897 novel. The tale tells of the Demeter washing ashore in London as a near wreck with only one stark raving mad survivor on board. The now ten-year-old Bragi Schut (Season of the Witch) script centers on the voyage and the crew that was mysteriously slaughtered one-by-one. With Marshall's recent attachment, it looks like The Last Voyage of the Demeter will set sail at last. Hit the jump for more. Heat Vision reports that Marshall is set to helm The Last Voyage of the Demeter for Millenium Films. The picture has seen a long line of possible »

Neil Marshall to Direct The Last Voyage of Demeter
11 May 2012 5:58 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Neil Marshall (Centurion, The Descent) has signed on to direct the long-delayed genre tale The Last Voyage of Demeter for Millennium Entertainment.
Bragi F. Schut wrote the original screenplay over a decade ago, which expands on a small portion of Bram Stoker's original Dracula novel. The Demeter was the ship that transported the vampire from Transylvania to London, except the ship washes up on shore with only one survivor left. This story tells the tale of that voyage, where one passenger murdered the ship's crew, one by one.
David Slade was the last filmmaker attached to the project, which had Noomi Rapace and Ben Kingsley attached to star. It isn't known if the actors are still involved, but it doesn't seem likely.
Mike Medavoy, Arnold Messer, and Brad Fischer will produce, although no production schedule was given.
The Last Voyage of Demeter comes to theaters in 2013 and stars Noomi Rapace, »
