Spain’s Recession Calls for Creative Film Financing
18 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Since September, Spain has unleashed two of its three biggest movies ever: Juan Antonio Bayona’s The Impossible with a $172.5 million gross worldwide and Andy Muschietti’s “Mama” at $135.8 million gross and counting.
Only Alejandro Amenabar’s “The Others” ($203.9 million) has grossed more.
These box office watermarks come, however, as Spain suffers its worst recession in decades. Piracy, on top of an 8% to 21% hike in sales taxes on cinema tickets, has withered cinema attendance, down 2.5% in the first quarter of 2013, while leaping 12.5% in Germany and 11% in the U.K.
In 2012, 163 Spanish movies were shot, down 15% from 2010. And the number of high-end films, offering big paydays, has plunged far more steeply, slashing shoot costs.
In April, Alta Films closed Alta Classics, Spain’s biggest arthouse/crossover distributor.
“With Spain’s piracy, a 21% cinema tax, 6.2 million unemployed and broadcasters not buying your films, you simply can’t survive,” says Alta’s Enrique Gonzalez-Kuhn. »

The Success of PG-13 Horror - 7 Films That Did Well at the Box Office
17 March 2013 7:50 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
When The Last Exorcism was set to be released, horror fans took up arms to protest its PG-13 rating. For many, an R rating is an inextricable component of horror films, one that allows them to push certain boundaries not found in PG-13 films. How good can a horror film be if it’s rated PG-13?
While there are exceptions, the majority of PG-13 horror films, at least in contemporary cinema, focus on instilling a sense of dread and fear rather than outright shocking you with blood, guts, sex, and violence. If you look back over the past thirty years or so, PG-13 horror has been wildly successful, perhaps more so than R-rated horror, due in no small part to their ability to focus less on the object and more on the abject, and thus be more appealing to those unable to stomach extreme violence and gore.

Interview: Nicole Kidman Talks ‘Stoker’
6 March 2013 2:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
When Nicole Kidman compares Korean filmmaker Park Chan-wook with the late, great Stanley Kubrick it is, of course, a huge compliment given with an insider’s knowledge of the methods of two directors she greatly admires. She has had the pleasure of collaborating with both directors and was the leading actress in Kubrick’s last film, Eyes Wide Shut (1999) and stars in Park’s first English language film, the psychological thriller Stoker, with Mia Wasikowska and Matthew Goode.

Stoker opens in limited release this weekend and with it, brings the return of Nicole Kidman to movie screens across America. Not that she's been absent for very long, garnering some awards buzz for her supporting role in The Paperboy. Over the past thirty years, Kidman has entertained us in films like Moulin Rouge, The Others, Eyes Wide Shut, To Die For and many more. Chances are you've seen at least one Nicole Kidman movie or are at least aware of whom she is and when asked to describe her in one word, everyone seems to come up with a different response. We tested the waters of Twitter to see what some people thought. This is what they said: There were, of course, some references to her history of cosmetic surgery... While others focused on other...

Top 11 Sinister Appearances by Hollywood Stars in Horror
8 February 2013 4:29 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
With Ethan Hawke most recently delivering a laudable performance in the terrifying box office hit Sinister, due to hit UK DVD and Blu-ray on 11 February through Momentum Pictures, we decided to take a look back at some other Hollywood notables who made their mark on the genre with style. Aaaaand Action!
Danny Glover – Saw (2004)
Perhaps best known as Roger Murtaugh in the Lethal Weapon films, Danny Glover also has a long history of roles in smaller independent films. So it was perhaps not surprising when he turned up as obsessive Detective Tapp in low-budget horror Saw. Glover shot his scenes in two days, and the film went on to spawn one of the biggest horror franchises of all time.

'Warm Bodies' Review: Nicholas Hoult Movie Is 'Heavy-Handed' But 'Sentimental.'
30 January 2013 1:41 PM, PST | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Los Angeles — "Warm Bodies," the latest permutation of the zombie screen phenomenon, places heart over horror and romantic teen angst over sharp social commentary. The low gore quotient and emphasis on young love might disappoint genre purists, but for those open to the idea of a gently goofy mash-up, the film is strong on atmosphere and offers likably low-key, if somewhat bland, charms. As a date movie for teens and twentysomethings that nods toward edgy fantasy while favoring down-to-earth mellowness, the Summit release is primed to hit the box-office sweet spot.
Working from Isaac Marion's young-adult novel, writer-director Jonathan Levine has devised a feature that's his highest-concept production to date, yet still somehow his least contrived. His affinity for low-key male coming-of-age stories, demonstrated in "The Wackness" and "50/50," lends itself to the saga of an undead sensitive guy who falls for a real-live girl.

American Idol Recap: Do the Fight Thing
23 January 2013 7:10 PM, PST | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Godzilla vs. Mothra. Batman vs. Joker. Coke vs. Pepsi. Michigan vs. Notre Dame. Randy Jackson vs. the English language. These are the rivalries that define the modern age. They’re long-standing. They’re heated. And pretty much everybody’s got an opinion on ‘em.
And now we’ve got…Nicki vs. Mariah? Divas, pleeeease.
On tonight’s episode of American Idol — centered on the Season 12 auditions from Charlotte, Nc — a pair of wannabe alpha judges stomped and roared in an effort to establish dominance.

The Top Ten Scariest Little Girls In Movies
23 January 2013 12:40 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Let’s face it, it can be pretty easy for horror films to slip into the cliché we all know of the young woman running around trying to escape someone or someone terrorising her. Although heroines like Laurie Strode (Halloween) and Sidney Prescott (Scream) eventually make all of that running for their lives seem worth it when they go toe-to-toe with their attackers. Score one for the girls!
But, what can be scarier than the likes of even Mike Myers or Jason, we hear you ask? Scary little girls just like Emily Brenek in The Possession. So, take a look at our list of the top 10 scariest little girls in films, showing us all what can happen when you underestimate the female mind.

Top 7 Most Anticipated Performances of 2013
15 January 2013 10:53 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
This is probably a fool’s errand. Considering there are so many performances to be excited about in any given year – 2013 included – it’s nearly impossible trying to narrow it down to seven. But I did it anyway! Perhaps “Top 7 Performances I’m Most Excited About While Writing This List” would be more accurate. That just wasn’t quite as catchy. Nevertheless, here are seven performances that I’m really looking forward to in 2013.
(Yes, yes, I know we’re already a couple weeks into 2013. Sorry, Sean Penn in Gangster Squad. I guess it wasn’t your destiny to make this list.)
7. Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
Role: The wicked dragon that Bilbo and company must take on in order to reclaim the dwarves treasure.
Reason: I love Benedict Cumberbatch, thanks in large part to “Sherlock” and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, »

Biggest Films of 2013 – Stoker
14 January 2013 1:28 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Stoker, due for release in March, marks the English language debut of South Korea’s most esteemed director, Park Chan-Wook. While the film’s title obviously draws comparison to Bram Stoker’s Dracula, screenwriter Wentworth Miller (of Prison Break fame) confirms that the film has nothing to do with vampires, but is most definitely a horror film. The film’s plot is said to detail a strange relationship that develops between Mia Wasikowska’s India and Matthew Goode’s Uncle Charlie, an estranged relative who moves into India’s home in the wake of her father’s death and her mother’s increased mental instability. India’s unstable mother is played by Nicole Kidman, adding a final acting credit to Stoker that gives the film an incredibly promising cast list.
Goode’s previous performance in Watchmen has highlighted his ability to be at once enigmatic, charming and undeniably creepy; a »
