Plus a Spanish-language Breaking Bad and does Fox’s Gavin & Stacy remake work News
Fox unveiled its fall schedule which doesn’t include any of the big moves that people speculated would happen. Glee will air on Thursday (but will apparently take a hiatus) to make room for the Greg Kinnear series Rake. American Idol and The X-Factor aren’t cutting back. Tuesday nights continue to be comedy night. The one major change is a plan to move Bones and Raising Hope to Friday.
Fox also announced it is returning to the mini-series genre, reviving 24 as a 12-hour story and ordering Wayward Pines, a Twin Peaks-inspired thriller from The Playboy Club creator Chad Hodge. it’s also developing a mini-series about Billy the Kid.
Meanwhile, Fox also released trailers for its new shows. I have a feeling you’ll be most interested in Us & Them, the Americanization of Gavin & Stacey. »

Jim VanBebber Talks The Manson Family, Gator Green, and True 70's Style Grindhouse Cinema
26 March 2013 11:52 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A true grindhouse maverick who hates happy endings, Jim VanBebber has made a name for himself in the world of low-budget, independent exploitation cinema as a writer/director and sometimes actor.
Since his first feature, Deadbeat at Dawn (1988), his gritty, outlaw style of filmmaking has generated films that are unapologetic in their realism and singular in their vision.
In 2004 VanBebber took on Charlie Manson. Shot over four years, The Manson Family is a documentary-style (though semi-fictional) look at the Manson cult filled with lurid sex, shocking violence and murderous flower power. For its 10th anniversary The Manson Family is being unleashed nationwide complete with VanBebber's Kickstarter-fueled short Gator Green (get theater listings here). A special edition Blu-ray release will follow on May 7th by Severin Films, which will include the short and a documentary on the making of The Manson Family, entitled The VanBebber Family.

Real Black Cowboys Live On Screen In They Die By Dawn
20 March 2013 9:45 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Four real-life outlaws meet up in the town of Langston, Oklahoma to play a risky game. The winner of their shootout gets to collect their collected bounty: $80,000. The losers? Well, the losers will “die by dawn.” Such is the plot of director Jeymes Samuel‘s new short film, They Die By Dawn, which stars Michael K. Williams as Nat Love and Erykah Badu as Stagecoach Mary. The twist? Every character in the film is a historical figure who actually lived in the Old West. Oh, and all but three characters are African-American.
The film premiered last night in New York at the TriBeCa Film Center in an event co-sponsored by Bulleit Bourbon. We got a chance to talk to Samuel last night about his love of Westerns and his desire to reclaim black history. According to Samuel, it was important that all of the characters were real so that if kids today watch his films, »

14 March 2013 12:20 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Two appears to be the numerical limit that Ubisoft has put in place for pre-reveal teaser trailers, because (as promised) the publisher released the official debut trailer for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger today, giving us our first (albeit extremely brief) look at the title’s Wild West gameplay.
As previously noted, the protagonist in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a “ruthless bounty hunter” named Silas Greaves. Silas has spent his entire life hunting down the West’s most notorious outlaws, including; Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Pat Garett, and Butch Cassidy.

Ubisoft released a new teaser trailer for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger today, along with the promise that they will fully reveal Techland’s downloadable Wild West title on March 14th. While none of us are exactly thrilled about our second look at the game being yet another teaser, at least this one is made up of more than just a bit of semi-relevant live-action video.
At any rate, Ubisoft also revealed that the protagonist in Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a “ruthless bounty hunter” named Silas Greaves. He has spent his entire life hunting down the West’s most notorious outlaws, which include such infamous characters as; Jesse James, Billy the Kid, Pat Garett, and Butch Cassidy. Gunslinger’s plot is said to weave’s Greaves’ ficitional story in with the real historical facts of the Wild West era, and let players “live the greatest legends of the Old West »

Charles Chilton obituary
14 January 2013 10:21 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
BBC radio producer who created the serial Journey into Space
The BBC radio producer and writer Charles Chilton, who has died aged 95, created a classic radio serial, Journey into Space, various series exploring the America of the past, and the one-off programme that eventually took to stage and screen as Oh! What a Lovely War. At the start of his career, radio could still attract audiences greater than those for television, and as well as producing popular comedy series such as The Goon Show and Take It from Here, Chilton devised some of its most distinctive material.
The first series of Journey into Space, broadcast in 1953, was described as "groundbreaking". "Well, it has to be," Chilton laughed in response. It took Captain Jet Morgan, played by the future MP Andrew Faulds, and his crew to the moon. They went on to Mars in the remaining two parts of the trilogy, »

Quentin Tarantino: after Sandy Hook, has America lost its appetite for blood and guts?
11 January 2013 11:24 AM, PST | The Independent | See recent The Independent news »
Uh-oh. Who's that riding into town, with an expression of gleeful menace on his face, and all the little boys running after him in hero worship? It's Quentin Tarantino, the troublemaker, the connoisseur of badassery, the Billy the Kid of modern film-making. The former enfant terrible will turn 50 this March, but he refuses to toe the line, account for his attitudes, or justify his movie excesses. As Krishnan Guru-Murthy, the Channel 4 news presenter, found out on Thursday evening. »
‘Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid’ – Peckinpah’s Revisionist Masterpiece?
4 January 2013 10:12 AM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Directed by Sam Peckinpah
Written by Rudy Wurlitzer
1973, USA
Sam Peckinpah was not an easy man to get along with at the best of times and the battles he faced in making Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid, now widely considered as amongst the top dozen Westerns ever made, are legendary even by his standards. Peckinpah wanted his name taken off the film after a distraught MGM instructed the half-dozen editors (probably a world record by the films release in 1973) allocated to the film to hack the footage into something more straightforward and to their minds more marketable, reducing the run time to under two hours and most crucially shaving off the pathos riven, 1908 set bookends of the film, these bridging buttresses detailing the final fate of one of the titular characters in light of the main narrative tragedy. Peckinpah had faced relentless obstructions on »
