It’s not every day that press releases are issued that refer to Susan Sarandon as a “devious criminal,” but that’s where we’re at when it comes to Jonathan Mostow‘s Still of Night, a project that sounds compelling just by virtue of those two little words. News from Cannes (duh) reports that Exclusive Media will finance and produce the new thriller, which will see Sarandon’s criminal character making life really hard for Michelle Monaghan, who will portray a woman with more than enough trouble on her plate already. Mostow (Terminator 3, U-571, Surrogates) has penned the script himself, which is described (quite effusively) as “a paranoia thriller that builds to a pulse-pounding crescendo, Still of Night is a smart, stylish ride packed with shocking twists that will give you nightmares – because it could actually happen to you.” What? What, really? No! Tell me more! The film’s synopsis reads: “Katie Tyler (Michelle Monaghan) is »

Since her breakout role in 2005’s “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang,” Michelle Monaghan has been steadily turning in solid supporting performances in everything from big-budget thrillers (“Mission Impossible III”) to more character-based dramas (“North Country”), but Hollywood still hasn’t seen her as a leading lady. That’s all set to change though, as Monaghan has signed on to appear in her biggest role yet alongside Susan Sarandon.
Jonathan Mostow (“Terminator 3,” “U-571”) will direct Monaghan and Sarandon in the thriller “Still of Night,” from a script which he also penned. The film follows Monaghan as a young career woman who is forced to care for her missing sister’s daughter, and in the process of looking for her whereabouts, must outwit a criminal (Sarandon) in order to save her and her family’s lives. Sarandon playing a more devious character could be compelling, but otherwise this material seems to let down the talents of Monaghan, »

Michelle Monaghan and Susan Sarandon are set to team up for the thriller Still of the Night. Exclusive Media announced today that it would produce and finance the pic, written and to be directed by Jonathan Mostow (Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines). Monaghan stars as a career woman who sets out to investigate the mysterious disappearance of her sister. She ends up matching wits with a devious criminal, played by Sarandon, in order to save her and her sister. If memory serves me right, Sarandon has never played such a straight-up villain before (I’m counting Stepmom as a half-villain). It should be interesting to see the two talented actresses square off. Mostow’s last film, the 2009 sci-fi actioner Surrogates, wasn’t exactly a runaway hit with critics or audiences, but he’s off to a great start on Still of the Night by nabbing actors of Monaghan and Sarandon’s caliber. »

The helmer is back though, will news from Cannes regarding a new thriller that is already set to begin production this summer, featuring two solid actresses.
A press release reveals that Mostow will direct Still of Night, from a script he wrote by himself. Joining the film are Susan Sarandon and the always delightful Michelle Monaghan.

While David Ayer has become something of a cop drama / thriller specialist, he has worked in other genres, including writing the scripts for U-571 and The Fast And The Furious. Now he’s targeting the Drug Enforcement Agency with Ten, which Arnold Schwarzenegger is attached to star in. Ten finds an elite DEA strike team assembling to raid a drug cartel’s safe house. But while it appears above board, the action is actually the cover-up for the theft of millions in illegal merchandise.The team members (including, we assume, Schwarzenegger, unless he’s playing the big villain) think they’ve gotten away with it, but then they’re picked off one by one…Ayer isn’t actually writing this one – that job went to A-Team scribe Skip Woods. And Woods is connected to another upcoming Schwarzenegger project, Black Sands, which has Act Of Valour’s Mike McCoy and Scott Waugh directing. »

"Watch your six." Open Road has debuted the first official trailer via for David Ayer's End of Watch, a new cop drama about two young police officers who get into deeper shit with drug cartels than they can handle. Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Peña play Officers Taylor and Zavala, respectively. This is the cop indie we've been hearing about from Ayers (Harsh Times, Street Kings) that uses Pov and various cameras, and it looks intense and intriguing, but I'm always weary of Ayer. Sometimes his films can be a bit dry, but at least there seems to be some story. Cast includes Anna Kendrick, America Ferrera and Frank Grillo. Watch the first official trailer for David Ayer's End of Watch, in high def from Yahoo: So why is David Ayer (director of Harsh Times, Street Kings; writer of U-571, Training Day, Dark Blue, S.W.A.T.) using different kinds of cameras? »

Jennifer Lawrence, House at the End of the Street Jennifer Lawrence stars in House at the End of the Street, Mark Tonderai’s horror / thriller to be released by Relativity Media on September 21. The video below makes House at the End of the Street’s house at the end of the street look more than a little like Psycho’s Bates Motel. Jennifer Lawrence has the Janet Leigh role (minus the shower scene and the all that stabbing), while Max Thieriot comes across as a rebooted version of Anthony Perkins‘ Norman Bates. Now, does Thieriot have a sister — instead of a mother — fixation? In addition to The Hunger Games‘ Lawrence (a Best Actress Oscar nominee for Debra Granik’s Winter’s Bone) and Foreverland / My Soul to Take’s Thieriot, House at the End of the Street also features Elisabeth Shue (a Best Actress nominee for Mike Figgis‘ 1995 drama Leaving Las Vegas, »

With The Hunger Games finally hitting cinemas this weekend, we can already look forward to seeing more of Jennifer Lawrence – an Oscar nominee by the age of just twenty – later this year, this time in a straight-up horror, House at the End of the Street.
Director Mark Tonderai has been speaking with EW about the film, and along with that interview also comes our first look at Lawrence in the film as the lead female, who stumbles into a nightmare of terror when she and her mother (Elizabeth Shue),
“move in next door to a house that was the site of savage murders years ago, only to learn that the young man whose family was slaughtered (Max Thieriot, Chloe, My Soul to Take) still lives inside. He and Lawrence strike up a friendship that starts to edge toward romance, but then she discovers some twisted secrets.”
Tonderai teased some more details about the film, »

Veteran filmmaker John Badham is ready to get back on the feature saddle again. He’s in talks to take on In The Rough, written by Leslie Boehm (the man who’s given us Dante’s Peak, Daylight and The Darkest Hour). Rough is an action-adventure concerning a retired hunter, a female Red Cross employee and a CIA agent searching for priceless jewels in the Indian jungles. Adventure ensues [Moviehole].
Badham began his career in the early 70s directing television, both episodes and movies, until 1977, when he broke out as a film director with Saturday Night Fever. Since then he’s helmed a vast variety of entertainment, at least one of which you probably love. His films range from Short Circuit to WarGames to Stakeout to the Point Break-wannabee Drop Zone (which is a personal guilty pleasure).
In the mid-90s he gave us Nick of Time, a mildly interesting Johnny Depp »

They may not be household names like their A-list colleagues, but the actors on this list have appeared in some of our all-time favourite geek movies...
Some actors dabble in sci-fi; others dip their toe into fantasy; some may even make an appearance in the odd horror film - all before returning to the safety of the genres in which they feel more comfortable - perhaps a nice, award-chasing period drama, or a well-paid romantic comedy.
A-listers may see the geeky films that we on this site enjoy and celebrate as fun little side-projects, but there are actors out there who commit full-time to these types of movies. It is high time, therefore, that we credited these individuals with the recognition they deserve.
Besides the stipulation that, in order to be included, an actor had to still be alive and working today, there were no strict criteria that had to »
