Lionsgate Discovers 'The Vatican Tapes'

26 September 2009 11:11 AM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

With Paranormal Activity performing well and Eli Roth's Cotton going into production soon, it looks as if Blair Witch inspired films are still hotter than ever (shocking considering it's been 10 years already). Bloody Disgusting got exclusive word on a new horror film in development over at Lionsgate entitled The Vatican Tapes. From a screenplay by Chris Borrelli, a tape is leaked from the Vatican that displays an exorcism that goes horribly wrong. It's said to take on attributes from Blair Witch and Rec. Gary Lucchesi (the Underworld franchise, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, Pathology, The Midnight Meat Train) is producing. »

Review: What’s the gamer playing at?

23 September 2009 6:27 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

Directorial double act Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor seem to have an alarming amount of artistic control over their films. Their body of work to date (Crank, Pathology, Crank: High Voltage) contains some of the most brutally violent and sexually explicit scenes in contemporary cinema. They create chaotic worlds full of visual and aural excess, and up to a point I am a firm supporter of their cause. 2006’s Crank, for example, has the violent sensibilities of an 80s action picture combined with a frenetic and unique style of editing and shooting that sets it apart from the gritty, realistic action movies made since The Bourne Identity. They also created in Chev Chelios (played by Jason Statham) a pseudo-superhero who is truly invincible and completely devoid of Spidermanesque angst. Their latest film is Gamer, another completely insane action picture that gorges you on worrying images. But is there any enjoyment »

Review of Gamer

4 September 2009 12:50 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Year: 2009

Directors: Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor

Writers: Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor

IMDb: link

Trailer: link

Review by: Marina Antunes

Rating: 8 out of 10

[Special thanks to Marina Antunes, courtesy of Row Three, for the review!]

Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor have made careers for themselves by making action films. Films with little plot but loads of heart pounding, non-stop, balls-to-the-wall action. They're sometimes rude, sometimes crude and always unapologetic. Pathology was a deviation. Though the duo didn't direct, their story had more thought crammed into ten minutes than both Crank films put together. Gamer is an all together different beast which attempts to marry ideas with the Neveldine/Taylor style of action and the result is sometimes messy but also smart while never forgetting to be a whole lot of fun.

The near future is a crazy place. Advertisements are found everywhere, including the pyramids, and among the familiar brand names is a new beast: “Slayers.” In a world that features advanced and »

John Hughes Twitter-Wood Report: Favorite Films And Thanks From Rainn Wilson, Eliza Dushku And Others

6 August 2009 5:14 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Few directors produce a body of work that syncs with a decade as well as John Hughes' work did with the 1980s. From "Sixteen Candles" to "Ferris Bueller's " and "The Breakfast Club," he gave everyone who ever lived through high school someone to relate to. His power wasn't lost on on filmgoers or today's filmmakers, both of whom inhabit the Twitter-Wood follow list.

Filmmakers including Kevin Smith and Diablo Cody, who both picked up the plight of the high school misanthrope from Hughes, as well as other stars like Rainn Wilson and Eliza Dushku tweeted in with their memories of Hughes' movies this afternoon, and many of them recalled what it was like come to his movies in the middle of the same kinds of real-life melodramas that he tackled.

Sdcc 09: Gamer Talk from Neveldine and Taylor

23 July 2009 4:41 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are not known for quiet, thoughtful dramas, taylor made for the Lifetime channel. Crank 2 can easily be described as an all out orgy of carnage and psychotic behavior, but Gamer is a whole different animal. This is a near future in an alternate universe where gamers log on and pilot a living, breathing human being in a life or death struggle. The winner ... well .. .they get to live ... and if they live long enough they might just go free! See, the human beings are also convicts. Plot Twist!!

To prepare Gerard Butler for his marathon of gunfire, the Neveldine/ Taylor connection employed the usual acupuncture needles and actors aflame they used for Pathology, adding a full on Navy Seal training camp to wuup Butler's body back into prime 300 shape. All of that is a joke of course. Don't sue me ... but they did say it! »

David Slade Looks At 'Eclipse' And Jon Favreau Wraps 'Iron Man 2' In Today's Twitter-Wood

20 July 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

You just can't turn your back on the Twitter-Wood feed. I stepped away for a couple of days to leave things in MTV Movies Blog editor Adam Rosenberg's capable hands, and "Eclipse" director David Slade activated a new account. He hit the ground tweeting, too, commenting about notes he just received from Stephenie Meyer about the next "Twilight" film. (Editor's note: Clearly my hands are not terribly capable.)

Meanwhile, Jon Favreau was partying down this weekend, celebrating an end to principal photography for "Iron Man 2." Both directors, as well as two celebrities attending the Inter Milan/Chelsea match at Pasadena's Rose Bowl, an extremely confident Dane Cook and music suggestions from both Rainn Wilson and David Lynch also showed up over the last 24 hours. I'm @brianwarmoth, and this is your Twitter-Wood report for July 20, 2009.

@DAVID_A_SLADE Reading Stephenie's notes on latest script draft, we are in very good shape. »

The death of Ed McMahon, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” and Perez Hilton’s scuffle with Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am dominated Twitter’s trending topics today, and the Twitter-Wood feed is on the case. Ashton Kutcher, Jon Favreau and plenty of others tweeted condolences to Johnny Carson’s former “Tonight Show” announcer, who died today in Los Angeles.

Tweets on the latter two categories have been significantly more mixed in their sentiments, but “Revenge of the Fallen” star Tyrese Gibson maintained his Twitter vigil that’s been documenting his recent film-related travels.

Twitter-Wood: Barack Obama’s Fly Swat, Going Green And Robert Pattinson’s Middle Name

18 June 2009 3:30 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

You’ve probably noticed a large number of Twitter users over the last few days putting their profile pictures through green filters in support of protesters in Iran. Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Neil Gaiman, Rainn Wilson, and a handful of others on the Twitter-Wood feed are among those who have been participating in the week’s Iran tweetings I mentioned yesterday, with Alyssa Milano still dedicating her tweets to new news out of Tehran.

Iran isn’t the only news permeating our follow list’s discussion topics, though. PETA lashed out at President Barack Obama for swatting a fly during a CNBC interview this week, and both Hill and Clive Barker tweeted reactions today. You’ll find both of them, “Twilight” actor Peter Facinelli, and pictures from Emmy Rossum and Ice-t in today’s Twitter-Wood report for June 18, 2009.

Twitter-Wood: Iran, Gwyneth Paltrow On Set For ‘Iron Man 2′ And Jonah Hill On ‘Superbad 2′

17 June 2009 6:33 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Protests, marches, and link-passing have taken over Twitter following last week’s contested election results in Iran, and the Twitter-Wood feed has been no exception. Alyssa Milano has been particularly persistent with her #iranelection-tagged tweets, and directors Errol Morris, James Gunn, and Jon Favreau all logged on to comment on the events in Tehran.

Meanwhile, a few tweets squeaked through with details from the “Iron Man 2” and “Casino Jack” sets, as well as from Wil Wheaton’s guest appearance on the TNT series “Leverage.” Also, Jonah Hill joins Kat Dennings and Nick Jasenovec in doubting the legitimacy of the controversial Michael Cera Twitter account that I’ve mentioned before. Click onward for all of these, birthday wishes to actor Michael Showalter, a much more in 140 characters or less in today’s Twitter-Wood report!

Twitter-Wood: ‘Iron Man 2,’ Rainn Wilson’s Dog And Chocolate Chip Pancakes

15 June 2009 3:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Thanks to the magic of Twitter, Jon Favreau once again offered an “Iron Man 2” filming location report today as another business week kicked into gear in Hollywood, and on the Twitter-Wood feed as well. In addition to getting to know some film preferences from Nicole Richie and Meagan Good, Alyssa Milano chimed in with her favorite post-workout menu item, and Rainn Wilson showed off a pictures of his dog.

As usual, the feed today proved to be a smorgasbord of celeb show-and-tell with a few behind-the-scenes tips, and a lot of information you never would have picked up elsewhere, such as how Frankie Muniz feels about the city of Newark and which part of Mandy Moore’s body hurt after a busy morning. I’m @brianwarmoth and this is Twitter-Wood for June 15, 2009.

News Bites: Alyssa Milano Grabs a Boyfriend and Elisabeth Shue Bulks Up

2 June 2009 6:45 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

It looks like Dan Aykroyd better work fast if he wants to get Alyssa Milano in the upcoming Ghostbusters sequel -- she's starting to line up the feature gigs. Following her horror stint in Pathology, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Milano is grabbing a rom-com. She'll star and produce My Girlfriend's Boyfriend, which might sound like a sexuality-bending role for the actress, but really it's just typical. She'll play a woman who meets two perfect men and must decide between them. One (played by Christopher Gorham) is a struggling novelist, while the other (Michael Landes) is an ad exec. Where the girlfriend fits in is anyone's guess. However, the pic does have Beau Bridges and Carol Kane in additional roles, so there's that going for it.

Meanwhile, remembering the tough women I was asking for? We're getting at least one on the big screens soon with Elisabeth Shue. TMZ posted »

New Info & Awesome Interactive Poster For ‘Gamer’

8 May 2009 12:53 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Gamer is a project we haven’t covered on Screen Rant thus far, but this early piece of marketing for it has spawned that coverage on our part. Originally titled Game, then Citizen Game, and now Gamer, the film is a unique idea from Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor. The filmmaking duo are known for bringing us the two Crank movies, Pathology, and writing the upcoming comic-book adaptation Jonah Hex (they were also previous attached to direct that, but dropped out due to creative differences).

The story goes like this (from the official website):

Gamer is a high-concept action thriller set in the near future, a time when mind-control technology has taken society by storm. Humans control other humans in a mass-scale, multiplayer online game. Reclusive billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) has created the controversial form of entertainment, “Slayers,” a hugely popular game that allows millions to act »

Attention scifi know-it-alls: What is this and where can I watch it?!

6 May 2009 7:52 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Okay here's the deal; I know a lot about scifi cinema. For years I've been scouring old magazines and drinking in all the information the interwebs has to offer on the subject of science fiction put to celluloid so it's very rare that I come across something I've a: never seen before, and b: can't find any information on. And then I found this...

What follows after the break is an extracted excerpt from Ekkehart Pollack's cinematographer's reel. Never heard of him? Well, he's been working for years in Germany and has been gaining a lot of attention in Hollywood recently from his work on Pathology, and the upcoming Citizen Game. This film though, apparently titled Hiob, does not appear on his resume.

The film looks stunning and I just Have to track it down. Here's what I think I know; It was obviously made sometime prior to the advent of CGI, »
