Bryce Dallas Howard Joins Matt Damon in Clint Eastwood’s Supernatural Thriller, Hereafter
11 December 2009 12:57 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Bryce Dallas Howard is no stranger to supernatural thrillers, having starred in M. Night Shyamalan's The Village and Lady in the Water. This time around it looks like she's joining Matt Damon and High Tension star Cecile de France in Clint Eastwood's next project, Hereafter. Written by Peter Morgan (The Last King of Scotland, The Queen), the film "tells the story of three people -- a blue-collar American, a French journalist and a London school boy — who are touched by death in different ways." Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, and Peter Morgan are among the executive producers. The film will apparently take place across Hawaii, San Francisco, London, and Paris. Thierry Neuvic (Tell No One) and Mylène Jampanoï will join the cast for the French portions. This looks like a decent change of pace for Eastwood, assuming it actually deals with the supernatural. Further plot details (see below) have made »

Bryce Dallas Howard joins the Hereafter
10 December 2009 9:55 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Variety reports that Bryce Dallas Howard (The Village, Terminator: Salvation) will join Matt Damon and Cecile de France (High Tension) in The Hereafter.
Clint Eastwood's supernatural drama was penned by Peter Morgan, and tells the story of three people -- a blue-collar American, a French journalist and a London school boy — who are touched by death in different ways. Hereafter will be produced by Eastwood, Kathleen Kennedy and Robert Lorenz. Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore are the exec producers.
Filming is set to take place in Paris, London, Hawaii and San Francisco. Howard will next be seen in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, taking over the role of Victoria from Rachelle Lefevre.

Kristen Stewart reflects on Bryce Dallas Howard's work in 'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse'
6 December 2009 1:36 AM, PST | Twilight Examiner | See recent Twilight Examiner news »
Portraying the firey-haired (and eyed) vampire with a knack for escape artisty was easy, according to co-star Kristen Stewart, for Bryce Dallas Howard in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. According to a recent interview Stewart did with MTV, Howard was able to pull off the Victoria-ness just right for the film. Bryce is scary. She is really oddly sweet as well, so it's weird to see her switch back and forth. Victoria, for Bella, is an ever-present fear — even when Victoria isn't around, she is scared that she is coming back. Bryce is such a good actress, and it was easy to be scared of her. You've no doubt seen exactly what Stewart is referring to with Howard's work in films like Lady In The Water and The Village. She's definitely a versatile and dynamic actress who can pull off all ... »

The Last Airbender Trailer Delayed
3 December 2009 8:38 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
M. Night Shyamalan’s adaptation of the hit cartoon series Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of my most anticipated films of 2010. The film, titled The Last Airbender to avoid confusion with a certain other movie coming out in two weeks, premiered a teaser trailer this summer but we’ve not seen anything major since.
The Last Airbender marks not only the largest-scale production for writer/director Shyamalan, but the first time he steps out from his trend of original work to direct an adaptation of an established and popular franchise. I for one, think this is fantastic for fans of the series and moviegoers alike.
In August, we heard from producer Frank Marshall that they were working on a trailer for Christmas, likely to be attached to Avatar or Sherlock Holmes but now comes news that it won’t be happening.
On Twitter (again), Marshall updated eager fans with »

Alex Gibney and George Hickenlooper Fighting Over Casino Jack Abramoff
13 November 2009 2:11 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
For once it isn't M. Night Shyamalan getting stuck into a bitter dispute over a film's title (see The Woods/The Village and the Avatars) but some fresh meat. The combatants this time are documentarian Alex Gibney and sometime documentarian, sometime fiction filmmaker George Hickenlooper. At this moment, they're both at work with films about the disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff - Gibney a doc, Hickenlooper a drama set to star Kevin Spacey - and both of the films are claiming the title Casino Jack. A cease and desist letter has been sent to Hickenlooper from the legal representatives of Gibney, threatening "any and all necessary action" if Casino Jack the second doesn't budge over and find a new handle. What could "any and all necessary action" actually amount to? Some excerpts from the letter and from Hickenlooper's stinging response coming right up after the break. Why should it matter if »

10 Most Fascinating 'End of the World' Movies
8 November 2009 4:59 AM, PST | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
There are many theories, ideas or should I say 'schools of thought' on how the world would end. At the height of the Cold War, nuclear annihilation ranks at the very top. While others argue it will not be man who will destroy the world (directly) but - an epidemic of global proportions (most probably from a potent strain of virus - think: I am Legend) or severe climactic change (another ice age perhaps? That would be Day After Tommorow right?) or mechanical uprising (The Terminator, anyone?) or even attack from the outside - conquering aliens (Mars Attacks!) or perhaps an asteroid. And let's not forget zombies!

50 Influential Scream Queens: Part 2
27 October 2009 10:57 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Before I launch into the conclusion of my 50 Influential Scream Queens (read part 1 here), please let me remind you that this list is based upon my personal taste, and my personal taste alone. I didn't poll 100 Fango readers, the Fango staff or any other form of 'industry professionals'. It's all opinion, so if you feel I've wronged a certain actress by excluding them from the list, don't leap to brand the entire Fango crew 'vile'. I probably just don't personally find their work to be that influential. Either that or I'm just ignorant to their accomplishments!
25. Mia Farrow: Mia's genre work may be a bit limited, but that doesn't change the fact that Rosemary's Baby will forever be regarded as one of the creepiest films in history. Farrow's portrayal of Rosemary Woodhouse is harrowing to say the least, and will always remain (in my mind) one of the best performances the genre has seen. »

Retro Slave: Long lost post apocalyptic kids flick Dark Enemy (1984)
20 October 2009 7:21 PM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »
Around the time the wonderful City of Ember came out, we asked if the film was the first true post-apocalyptic kids flick. Well we were pretty sure it was until we found info on this little weird gem, a long lost Pa production from the UK called Dark Enemy which sounds like a cross between John Wydham's "The Chrysalids" and M. Night Shyamalan The Village.
Directed by Colin Finbow, Dark Enemy is a product of the old British "Children's Film Unit" which was funded to encourage children to create movies. A sort of by kids, for kids kind of deal. It's a post-nuclear holocaust story set in a bucolic valley where children have to work because the adults are all dying off. They're told never to leave the valley, but they do, discovering some sort of secret.
Synopsis:
After a nuclear war, a group of children at an isolated farmhouse »
M. Night Shyamalan’s ‘Devil’ Headed for the Screen [Updated]
16 October 2009 8:48 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
[Update: We've now have a synopsis about the plot of Devil]
M. Night Shyamalan is one of those divisive directors in Hollywood - not because of politically controversial film topics like say Michael Moore, or over-the-top art house edge like Lars von Trier. He doesn’t even make it into the mainstream news media spouting off-hand remarks, or getting picked up while driving drunk, flinging anti-Semitic racial slurs. No, Shyamalan divides audiences into those that love his work and those that don’t because of his story telling; there’s no real fence-riding when it comes to his films.
Shyamalan’s next story, Devil, a horror-thriller, is being backed by Universal and directed by brothers John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle (Quarantine) with actor Chris Messina (Julie and Julia) attached to star. Brian Nelson (30 Days of Night) wrote the script based on Shyamalan’s story, the details of which are being kept a tightly guarded secret. I’m not really sure »

Brody Becomes an Action Hero in Predator Reboot
7 October 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Remember Adrien Brody? He’s the chap who played Wladyslaw Szpilman in the Pianist for which he won an Oscar. The Pianist is up there as one of my all-time favourite movies. He has also appeared in The Village and King Kong. This news today has surprised me a bit since it’s so different to the roles he normally plays.
Variety are reporting that Brody wants to reinvent himself as an action hero and has signed up for the lead role in ‘Predators’, the prequel to the movie made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1987.
Variety: Brody and his Paradigm reps lobbied hard for the role. Fox has high hopes to spring a new franchise, and Brody has signed options to return for future installments, sources said.
I have no doubt he’ll do well in the role as every other film I’ve seen him in, he’s excelled in. »

tMF Talkback: Leonardo DiCaprio and Joseph Gordon-Levitt - Two awesome actors in similar mode?
5 October 2009 9:05 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
If you're going to ask me which movie of Leonardo DiCaprio I remember the most, I'd say - 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape', and I'll have to add that even though Johnny Depp headlines the flick, both him and Leo stood out with their heartfelt performances- with DiCaprio earning an Oscar nom for his role. While I am inclined to say that Leo's role appears to be the more challenging, the acclaim he received stems from the fact that he really put himself into Arnie and he became that character.
