Summer Premiere Dates Set for Sinbad and Primeval: New World
28 March 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
It looks like our summer is shaping up very nicely, thanks to some excellent scheduling by The Powers That Be. At least our weekends will be taken care of. True Blood will almost certainly return in its usual Sunday at 9/8c slot, so there’s Sunday sorted. We told you earlier today that Zero Hour will be airing Saturdays at 8/7c, which fits in perfectly with this latest scheduling announcement: Primeval: New World will be airing Saturdays at 9/8c, followed by Sinbad at 10/9c on Syfy.
You may recall that we told you about the Syfy pickup of Primeval: New World back in October. You’ll recognize it as a spinoff from the original Primeval which aired here originally on BBC America. You’ll also recognize the star, Niall Matter, as Zane from the late great Eureka. Primeval: New World is another series acquired by Syfy from our pals up in Canada, »

Review: 'Welcome To The Punch' Is A Stylish & Smart British Spin In On The Action-Thriller
11 March 2013 8:19 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
The terms "British cinema" and "action movie" tend not to go together particularly well. Maybe it's the smaller budgets at play, maybe it's an awareness that our American and Asian cousins do it better, maybe it's cultural -- most British cops don't carry weapons, for example. It's not that it hasn't been tried, it's more that the examples we do have -- "The 51st State," "Centurion," "The Sweeney" -- tend to be bad enough to dissuade too many others from giving it a shot, and so the idea of an action movie set in the U.K. remains incongruous enough that it can form the central joke of an entire film, like Edgar Wright's "Hot Fuzz." But that might all be about to change, thanks to "Welcome To The Punch." Produced by Ridley Scott, marking the second film from Eran Creevy (who was behind the excellent and underrated "Shifty »

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Sequel to Shoot in May
24 January 2013 6:06 PM, PST | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
A sequel to Ang Lee’s 2000 martial arts film “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is happening — and I’m not talking about what some actor said over lunch or tossed out there during a press junket, either. This thing is going down — this May, in fact. The Weinstein Company, who released the first movie 13 years ago, will be heading to China to shoot a sequel to the award-winning Ang Lee-directed film (it won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film), with Chinese action veteran director Ronny Yu in talks to take over directing duties. Yu is no stranger to martial arts action, having directed the “Bride With White Hair” series back in the ’90s, and more recently the 2006 Jet Li martial arts flick “Fearless”. Hollywood fans might know him better as the director of “Freddy vs. Jason”, “The 51st State”, and “Bride of Chucky”. Admittedly, his Hollywood output have not exactly been stellar, »

Is Quentin Tarantino the world's most influential director?
15 January 2013 3:53 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Violent, witty and peppered with references to past pop culture, Tarantino's film-making style has its own dictionary entry. Do any other modern directors have the same clout?
Tarantinoesque (adj) – referring to or reminiscent of the work of the American film-maker and actor Quentin Tarantino (born 1963), known for the violence and wit of his films.
No one these days, not even the Collins English Dictionary, doubts how influential Tarantino has been over his 21-year career. Any lippy thriller featuring pop culture-fried dialogue and flip violence in the wake of Reservoir Dogs – 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag, The 51st State, the works of Guy Ritchie – were branded you know what. And, impressively, it cemented into an enduring idiom: Joe Carnahan was still painting from the palette in 2007's Smokin' Aces, and reviewers were handing out the Tarantinoesque badge, a touch dog-eared now, as late as this Christmas gone, to Martin McDonagh's Seven Psychopaths. »
