‘Street Fighter’ Director Andrzej Bartkowiak Will Go ‘Beneath the Deep’
21 December 2011 3:57 PM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
After creating the cult comedy (er, action movie) Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li director Andrzej Bartkowiak is gearing up to helm yet another entry in the genre. According to Deadline, the Polish director has been hired to helm Hannibal Production’s upcoming indie action film Beneath the Deep.
Written by Armand Speca, the film follows a “group of Caribbean tourists who become stranded due to natural forces and face unexpected visitors who view them as intruders, and a battle to survive begins.” Speca will also serve as the film’s executive producer.
This isn’t Bartkowiak‘s first experience with the action genre as he got his start behind the camera back in 2000 with Romeo Must Die, starring Jet Li, Aaliyah and Isaiah Washington. Since then, every film he’s directed has been an action film of some kind — other credits include Exit Wounds, Doom, and Cradle 2 the Grave. »

9 Movies That Prove Shakespeare Is Cool
1 December 2011 2:00 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Your first impression of William Shakespeare may not have been the most exhilarating of your life. In fact, you may have wiped it from your memory completely -- though it likely had something to do with a school play, discussions of iambic pentameter (what's that again?) and longingly staring at the clock.
But don't brush off this scribe so quickly, because Hollywood has proven, time and time again, that this guy knew a thing or two about being cool. And defying your parents. And dying young.
So as we prepare to welcome yet another Shakespearean remix, "Coriolanus," to the silver screen, we decided it's high time you get thee to a nunnery your favorite movie-watching spot and revisit these nine Shakespeare-inspired favorites. Then thank your high-school English teacher for trying to show you that The Bard really is the man.

Doom Director Unleashes a Killer Croc Beneath the Deep
18 October 2011 3:23 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
You may know Andrej Bartowiak as the director of Doom, Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave, and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. I was actually excited about his new killer crocodile flick Beneath the Deep until I wrote that first sentence.
The great thing about the American Film Market gearing up the first week of November is all the exciting new movies that get announced as they seek distribution and financing. Such is the case of Beneath the Deep, a new killer crocodile movie currently in pre-production being produced by Hanninal Pictures from the co-writer of the 1999 USA Network TV movie Atomic Train and to be helmed by an extremely talented cinematographer whose directorial filmography reads like the cruel twist befallen someone who wished upon a monkey’s paw to become a Hollywood filmmaker.

Quick Shooter: A Clint Eastwood Profile (Part 4)
11 October 2011 11:42 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Trevor Hogg profiles the career of Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood in the fourth of a five part feature (read parts one, two and three)...
“What I liked about this script is that it is faithful to the book, contrary to some previous versions, which had eliminated elements that in my opinion had to be preserved,” stated Clint Eastwood who chose to cinematically adapt White Hunter Black Heart (1990); the fictional tale was inspired by experiences of screenwriter Peter Viertel during the production of The African Queen (1951). “He told me that during the filming, Huston became hostile to Sam Spiegel, though he’d worked with him before. In his autobiography Huston says he was searching for a period of three weeks he could use to go on safari while in Africa. That’s what gave Peter Viertel the impetus to write his novel. He was in the presence of someone surrounded by all his technical crew, »

Aaliyah honored, remembered 10 years after death
25 August 2011 1:25 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

The Top 40 Musicians-Turned-Actors (20-1)

20. Elvis Presley
The King of Rock and Roll's movie career is both the archetype and warning for every single performer on this list. "Love Me Tender," Presley's first of 33 films, made him a even bigger star than he was when it was released in 1956. But through the 1960s, the singer -- more specifically his manager Colonel Tom Parker -- favored quantity over quality, releasing a slew of critically panned films that watered down his once unshakeable sound. The worldwide celebrity continued yet the results were now unpredictable.
19. Janet Jackson
A perennial television star in the 1970s and '80s -- remember Willis' girlfriend Charlene from "Diff'rent Strokes?" -- Jackson made the transition to film in 1993 in John Singleton's "Poetic Justice," a romantic road trip film featuring Tupac Shakur. Singleton's follow-up to "Boyz n the Hood" was a surprise hit, though Jackson chose to focus primarily on her music through the next decade. »

Casting Bits: Hailee Steinfeld in ‘Romeo & Juliet’, Tim Roth Signs On for ‘Arbitrage’
8 April 2011 6:00 AM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
[1] Hailee Steinfeld may have lost Katniss Everdeen to Jennifer Lawrence, but she'll be portraying an even more famous teenager soon. The young True Grit star is reportedly in talks to join Carlo Carlei's Romeo and Juliet as Juliet. For those who've somehow managed to get this far in life without knowing about Romeo and Juliet, the classic William Shakespeare play centers around a pair of teenagers from rival families who meet and fall in love, with tragic results. Kind of like Romeo Must Die, only with more emphasis on the romance angle and less on the martial arts stuff. Carlei's earlier features include 1993's The Flight of the Innocent and 1995's Fluke. The script is being written by Julian Fellowes, whose past work includes Gosford Park, last year's The Tourist, and the critically acclaimed Brit series Downton Abbey. The $15 million picture is scheduled to begin shooting in Italy later this spring, »

Review of Doris Yeung’s "Motherland"
23 March 2011 12:32 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »
Mo’ money mo’ problems. This seems to be the moral of the story in Doris Yeung’s directorial debut, Motherland, a tale of an immigrant family’s destruction from chasing the American Dream.
Inspired by the real life murder of Yeung’s mother, the film opens with Raffi Tang (Francoise Yip) returning home to San Francisco after her mother was killed in an apparent robbery. Estranged from her mother due to her mother’s disapproval of her same-sex relationship, Raffi had been living in self-imposed exile in Mexico.
Upon arriving home, Raffi becomes entangled in a web of deceit woven by her stepfather (Kenneth Tsang), a person of interest in the murder, and a mysterious family friend (Byron Mann). Raffi’s wealthy mother and stepfather had been embroiled in a contentious and expensive five year long battle over marital assets. Over time, Raffi suspects that the murder was a professional hit ordered by her stepfather. »
