New Thrust For Exorcist

8 June 2009 12:50 AM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

It's not a sequel or a prequel or a reboot or a remake, but a film based on Mark Opsasnick's book The Real Story Behind The Exorcist is on the cards from Vertigo Entertainment (The Ring, Quarantine). The Exorcist story, The Haunted Boy, is a single chapter (serialised in full here) in Opsasnick's tome of supernatural investigations, subtitled A Study of The Haunted Boy and Other True Life Horror Legends. In it, the author tracks down and speaks to the priests involved in the 1940s exorcism, local residents from the time, and the actual "Rob Doe" who became Regan in the novel and William Friedkin's film. Hmm: sounds like a similar approach to Requiem, the German film that told a close-to-the-truth version of the story of the exorcism and death of Anneliese Michel, which also inspired the Hollywoodised The Exorcism of Emily Rose.It sounds like this might make

Film: Review: Earth

23 April 2009 12:01 PM, PDT | From avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news

Beyond that, there’s also the complicated political dilemma of acknowledging global warming and deforestation without scotching the warm-and-fuzzy tone or offending the flat-earth crowd. All of which leaves Earth, a 90-minute pictorial homage to the circle of life, in an awkward spot, even before the separate issue of it being slapped together from BBC/Discovery’s Planet Earth series. (Now with ...

Earth - Movie Review -

23 April 2009 10:35 AM, PDT | From AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news

There's a sense in which it seems fairly nonsensical to review Earth, the pseudo-docu-whatever released by Disney via BBC and The Discovery Channel, but in the end it delivers so well that some manner of kudos are in order... even if a review isn't. Before the movie starts, you're going to hear about Disney's True Life Adventure series, which were naturementaries that received high praise back in the pre-1960 world of entertainment. Now, we might just be trying to sell you on your plans for next Earth Day, but I was glad for the promo. I remember a different era of Disney. Wondering what you were going to save your last few E tickets for, and a better viewpoint behind the production schedule. Earth is rather reminiscent of a different kind of Disney. There's a certain kind of story to the thing, but mainly it's just a loosely-worked frame that

When we think Disney, we think Mickey, not polar bears. But Walt Disney has always been interested in making films about nature as well. That’s why they began the True Life Adventures films in 1948, which portrayed the wild animals on our planet, through their struggles and triumphs. From their Walt created Disneynature. Now, in 2009, the first Disneynature series is available on the big screen.

Directors Alastair Fothergill and Mark Linfield joined forces...
