Rapture-Palooza Gets a Red Hot One-Sheet
16 May 2013 5:05 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Finally, after two separate red-band trailers, an official piece of artwork for Paul Middleditch’s horror comedy Rapture-Palooza has arrived, and given the subject matter, it's painfully generic! Look for the flick from Lionsgate in limited theaters and on VOD platforms June 7th.
Anna Kendrick, John Francis Daley, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Ken Jeong star.
The film is best described as Zombieland meets The Big Lebowski, and in the flick a couple battle their way through a religious apocalypse on a mission to defeat the Antichrist.
Synopsis
When the Apocalypse actually happens and a billion people are raptured up to heaven, Lindsey (Anna Kendrick, Pitch Perfect) and her boyfriend, Ben (John Francis Daley, TV’s “Bones”), are left behind in suburban Seattle. The young couple try their best to lead a normal life surrounded by talking locusts, blood rain showers, and pot-smoking wraiths. But when The Beast (Craig Robinson, »

The James Clayton Column: No blockbuster season, no flops and no bombs?
16 May 2013 2:07 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature James Clayton 17 May 2013 - 05:48
As the summer movie season brings speculation about flops and bombs, James argues that, for viewers, there's no such thing as failure...
We're now well into blockbuster season, and the rest of the summer lies before us bright with big screen promise. The tentpole features are stacked like tenpins on the shiny stage, and you're eyeing them up from afar and you're wearing jaunty shoes. Which ones will fall and which ones will remain standing proudly once the turn's been rolled and the tallies have been totalled up?
The bowling metaphor is ill-fitting and awful (even more ill-fitting and awful than the shoes) so I apologise for chuckin' it up. Nevertheless, if you view it from a certain angle (probably the gutter) the summer movie season does look like a game. It's a kitschy game that's subject to quirks of fate and chance, and it's all about the numbers. »

New Red-Band Rapture-Palooza Trailer Is Dripping with Sin
15 May 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The red-band trailer for Paul Middleditch’s horror comedy Rapture-Palooza has arrived, and we have every sin-laden second of it right here for ya! Look for the flick from Lionsgate in limited theaters and on VOD platforms June 7th.
Anna Kendrick, John Francis Daley, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Ken Jeong star.
The film is best described as Zombieland meets The Big Lebowski, and that alone has us all over this bad boy. In the flick a couple battle their way through a religious apocalypse on a mission to defeat the Antichrist. Yep, we are so there.

Jeff Bridges talks about this summer's supernatural action-comedy 'R.I.P.D.' (and why 'the Dude' would enjoy it)
11 May 2013 9:02 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Jeff Bridges is best known for appearing in dramas such as 2009′s Crazy Heart, which garnered the actor an Oscar, and the Coen brothers’ 1998 noir-stoner comedy classic The Big Lebowski, which garnered him an army of “Duderino”-quoting fans. But Bridges’ filmography also features a surprisingly large amount of sci-fi and fantasy movies, including 1976′s King Kong remake, 1984′s Starman, the two Tron movies, the first Iron Man film, and now this summer’s Robert Schwentke-directed R.I.P.D., in which he and Ryan Reynolds play dead, but still extremely active, law enforcers.

Red-Band Inside Llewyn Davis Trailer Shows Off Carey Mulligan's Sharp Tongue
8 May 2013 12:05 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Technically this is a red-band trailer, but it's pretty safe for work by our count. It does acknowledge sex, and the word "dick" is used. So discretion is half-heartedly advised. Few filmmakers have captured America, for better or worse, in comedy or drama, as lusciously and captivatingly as The Coen Bros. Joel and Ethan Cohen have explored the American experience with fables (A Serious Man), with whimsy (O Brother, Where Art Thou?), with sadness (No Country For Old Men), with frank admiration (True Grit), and with stoner humor (The Big Lebowski). And for their next act they'll be delving into the game-changing folk music scene of the 1960s with a star-studded drama called Inside Llewyn Davis. Set in New York City, the film centers on the titular folk singer/songwriter played by Oscar Isaac, who not long ago nabbed memorable roles in two polarizing features, Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive »
10 Best Modern Character Actors
8 May 2013 1:47 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
They’re not the most well-known, they don’t make the most money, and they don’t always get the credit they deserve, but the best character actors make an indelible mark on any movie. Generally considered to be an actor who avoids leading roles in favor of supporting ones, character actors often play eccentrics or characters that would be harder for a traditional actor to tackle.
In some ways, by taking on limited roles, character actors are able to maximise their impact and leave a more substantial impression on a film. Known for their versatility, work ethic, and willingness to blend into a film, character actors are some of the most important performers in Hollywood.
To make this list, an actor must still be actively making movies, and they were ranked by a combination of their resumes and abilities…

Winona Ryder Talks The Iceman, Playing Someone in Denial, Her Most Difficult Role, Her Obsession with The Wire and The Big Lebowski, and More
3 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Director/co-writer Ariel Vromen’s The Iceman opens this weekend in limited release. The drama is based on the book by Anthony Bruno that chronicles the life of Richard Kuklinski (played by Michael Shannon), a professional hitman who kept his work secret from his family. The contract killer received the nickname “The Iceman” because he froze the bodies of his victims in order to disguise their time of death and throw the authorities off track. The film also stars Chris Evans, Ray Liotta, Winona Ryder, Robert Davi, and Danny Abeckaser. For more on The Iceman, watch the trailer. At the recent Los Angeles press day, I landed an exclusive interview with Winona Ryder. We talked about making The Iceman, the way she prepares for a role, her most challenging role, if she still has to audition, her obsession with The Wire and The Big Lebowski, and a lot more. Hit »

The HeyUGuys Interview: Director Andy Wilton Talks Behind the Scenes of Total Hell
29 April 2013 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Indie productions have shifted into overdrive with the ease that they can now be created. Most only aspire to be short films with a budget of £1000 but director Andy Wilton stayed bold and true with his idea to create his first feature-length Behind the Scenes of Total Hell.
In fact, he’s created two as Total Hell – the Jamie Gunn horror ‘masterpiece’ the mockumentary is based around – is available as a DVD extra along on www.btsoth.co.uk which has a lot more information and merchandise available too.
Chatting to Andy Wilton has painted the picture of an honest, down-to-earth guy with a penchant for filmmaking. Always open to chat but committed to driving his film out there for it to be seen, not for financial gain, his commitment to filmmaking remains despite how long it has taken the film to get to the distribution stage. Instead of distributing through the normal mediums, »

Terence Stamp | Southend Film Festival | Sci-Fi London | Rooftop Film Club
Terence Stamp, London
His beauty is often admired before his acting skills, but while the former has faded somewhat the latter survives, at least when Stamp isn't topping up the retirement fund with another offhand baddie role. Those dodgier movies have thankfully been omitted from this selective retrospective (don't worry, Superman II is still in there). He lit up the screen, and the 1960s, with early films such as Billy Budd, The Collector, Far From The Madding Crowd, Poor Cow and Theorem, then took an extended break in an Indian ashram. Since his return to the day job, he's reminded us what he can do, in The Hit, The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert, even last year's Song For Marion. He's a terrific writer and talker, too, which should make his on-stage interview (8 May) a hot ticket.

Tara Reid, a 90210 Hunk, and a C.H.U.D. Star to Brave the Sharknado
19 April 2013 8:15 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Tara Reid starring in an Asylum movie about a tornado filled with hungry sharks? Why am I not surprised? Read on to find out which stars of “Beverly Hills 90210” and the cult classic C.H.U.D. will be joining her when Sharknado touches down later this year.
Written by Thunder Levin (American Warships, Ae Apocalypse Earth) and helmed by Anthony C. Ferrante, director of The Asylum’s “pretty damned good horror movie” Hansel & Gretel, “The Jaws After Tomorrow,” aka Sharknado, sees Los Angeles devastated by a monster hurricane that leaves the streets flooded with shark-infested waters leading to the inevitable moment when a tornado sucks up the sharks, producing the world’s first man-eating F5 tornado.
Tara Reid of American Pie, The Big Lebowski, and considerable tabloid fame (at least until Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes stole all the headlines) leads the charge against this unholy predatory twister threatening the City of Angels. »

R.I.P.D New Movie Poster and Trailer
18 April 2013 4:02 PM, PDT | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
Ryan Reynolds is the new dead guy fighting the criminal dead alongside Jeff "The Dude" Bridges in the new movie in R.I.P.D. Check out the new trailer, poster, and images from the new movie based on a Dark Horse Comic.
R.I.P.D. brings together Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges as crime fighting angels sent to Earth to capture the monstrous dead roaming among the living as the Rest In Peace Police Department. Sound a bit like Men in Black, except for the heavenly part? Reynolds leaves the wise-cracking to his new partner Roy Pusifer, played by Bridges who hasn't been this fun since his role as "The Dude" in The Big Lebowski. Mary-Louise Parker seems to be the highlight in this first look. And why can't Mary-Louise Parker be in more movies. She's got a natural comedy flair that's sorely missed since Weeds.

I also had to edit a few times as his side continued to break up here and there. However... the show must go on! Today we discuss the new Tom Cruise movie Oblivion, take a look forward at the box office potential of the summer films, play some games, answer some questions and voicemails and much more.
