Much of our lurid film community is of the belief that America’s acting prowess died with its classic stars like Marlon Brando, James Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Grace Kelly. However, I’m here to argue that America’s actors are stronger than ever and can match up toe to toe with the likes of both Europe and Asia.
The list will be split into two parts: in part one, I delve into the modern world of Hollywood actors with actresses soon to follow in part two.
Part one: Top Ten Actors Working In Hollywood Today
Actor With The Most Potential To Hit It Big: Paddy Considine
Before I begin the list, I want to take a moment to discuss an actor whom I believe has enormous potential. While not American born, British actor Paddy Considine has been in his fair share of American films like In America, »

Heads up horror fans, we've got the scoop on new projects for a couple members of the so-called "Splat Pack" this week. (Wait, is the Splat Pack still a thing? Probably not.) Anyway, it looks like Alexandre Aja will finally be taking some time away from the many remakes he is involved with in order to do something original again. According to Heat Vision, he has signed on to direct an adaptation of Joe Hill's 2010 novel Horns. Who is Joe Hill? None other than Stephen King's son, who took on a pen name in order to dissociate himself from his father and to let his work be judged on its own merits. The story revolves around a 26-year-old man who wakes up with a hangover and finds horns growing out of his head. He slowly starts to suspect that he may be connected in some way to the unsolved murder of his own girlfriend. »

What sounded like a pretty cool combination of Marvel-ous mayhem and indie-style insight has now, unfortunately, dissolved. A few days ago, we reported that director Patty Jenkins (she directed the award-winning Monster in 2003) is no longer attached to direct Chris Hemsworth in the upcoming sequel to the summer hit Thor. Thor 2 is scheduled to hit theaters in late 2013, but obviously the next order of business is to hire a new helmsperson. New reports claim Marvel is looking at Alan Taylor and Daniel Minahan, who both have worked extensively on Game of Thrones. Those guys may work and all, but this commentator would like to throw a few names into the ring: For one: Neil Marshall. Between Centurion and Doomsday the man has already showed some serious skill with the action...

Neil Marshall is one director I would travel to Hell with, so it’s great news that he looks like he may direct a new horror movie called Hellfest for CBS Films. Deadline reports that the Dog Soldier director is in early talks to direct the project about “a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night.” The script was penned by William Penick and Chris Sey, and is planned as a franchise.
I for one, hope this movie becomes a reality and have decided to put a quick list of reasons why Marshall would be the perfect director to take us to Hell.
5. Terror
He is great with creating a tone of sheer terror in movies like The Descent and Dog Soldiers
4. Scripting
He is a great writer and even though he did not pen this script, I believe he »

"The Descent" and "Centurion" director Neil Marshall is in early talks to helm the slasher flick "Hellfest" for CBS Films says Deadline.
The story follows a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night. William Penick and Chris Sey penned the script.
The film is expected to be not only Marshall's next movie but a potential franchise launcher. Gale Anne Hurd will produce and shooting will kick off next Summer. »

For his last two films, Neil Marshall has veered away from the horror genre to dabble in the apocalypse with Doomsday and historical action with Centurion. Some have complained about Marshall's recent efforts, but not me. They prove that the guy can do pretty much anything well. But now it seems the UK director is in talks with CBS to return to his roots and helm a straight up slasher pic called Hellfest.

Looks like the next movie by Neil Marshall (Doomsday, The Descent) will be a horror film with a pretty classic setup. It goes by the name Hellfest, and the director is in early talks to make it his next project, with a summer 2012 shoot looking likely if all the assorted deals work out. The script, by William Penick and Chris Sey, is about "a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night." Or, as previous reports said, "a Halloween night of fun turns deadly at America's premier theme park when an actual costumed killer begins slaying unsuspecting patrons who believe it's all part of the show." I know Marshall has a lot of fans, but I'm in the 'unconvinced' camp. On paper, his movies are the sort of stuff I love, but The Descent and Centurion were really unsatisfying. I liked the insanity of Doomsday, »

For some of us, including many of The Playlist’s own writing staff, “The Descent” director Neil Marshall is a purely hype-fueled helmer that never quite delivers on the promise of the former film or his chilling debut werewolf picture “Dog Soldiers.” For others, he’s a talent who has made two great genre pictures in the previously mentioned titles, then decided to step outside his comfort zone with the unofficial “Mad Max” homage “Doomsday,” along with the Michael Fassbender-starring Roman war flick “Centurion,” with both achieving varying degrees of success. Regardless of which camp you fall into, Marshall’s name has been floating around a handful of projects, from the Sam Raimi-produced 3D body horror film “Burst” to an ambitious foodie genre flick. Now Deadline is reporting that Marshall can add another title to his slate of potential/may move on without him list of projects with. »

Since the low-key release of Neil Marshall's last film Centurion, the director has flirted with a number of potential new projects, including a horror thriller "set in the world of gourmet underground supper clubs" and an alien invasion movie set during World War II. No idea what happened to either of those projects, but Marshall now appears to be moving forward with something different, and he's committed to making it his next film. According to Deadline Marshall is in early talks to direct Hellfest, which as you might guess from the title is a horror movie, set at a theme park where a costumed killer slaughters visitors who arrive on Halloween. Sounds something like the Halloween Horror Nights that Universal Studios does in Orlando and Los Angeles, but I guess we shouldn't be surprised they haven't licensed their official name. Marshall expects to start production next summer, though that »

Neil Marshall is one busy guy. Earlier this year, the fan favorite genre director said he was juggling 12 different projects (including a WWII alien invasion movie and the stomach-churning Burst 3D). Now it looks like he’s got yet another film on his schedule.
With movies like The Descent and Centurion, Marshall has shown a gruesome affinity for blood and guts action, but, so far, the director hasn’t flexed his talents in the ever popular slasher genre.
That’s going to change with his new movie Hellfest.
According to Deadline, Marshall has agreed to direct the project for CBS Films with the hope of launching a new horror franchise. The plan is to start production on the movie, which revolves around a “costumed killer who systematically slaughters ...

Things have been quiet for Neil Marshall after the release of his Centurion back in 2010, but the director of The Descent and Doomsday is getting back to the genre with Hellfest, the CBS Films horror project about a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night. The plan is for this to be his next movie and start production by summer next year. The hope is to launch a horror franchise. Scripted by William Penick and Chris Sey, Hellfest is produced by Gale Anne Hurd (Terminator, "The Walking Dead") through her Valhalla Entertainment banner. »

I would love to see Neil Marshall return to direct a “Dog Soldiers” sequel, but failing that, I suppose Marshall directing a slasher film is a decent second option. The British director of “Doomsday”, “Centurion”, and “The Descent” is currently in negotiations to helm the slasher flick “Hellfest” for CBS Films. The plan is to launch a franchise ala “Saw” and the like. You know, if this one’s a hit. If not? Well, they could always go direct-to-dvd. That’s pretty popular nowadays with the kids. “Hellfest” sounds generic enough — “a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night” — but Marshall seems like the right man for the job, if his works in the previously mentioned films are any indication. Dude really enjoys splattering the red stuff on the camera, that’s for sure. If Marshall signs on, production on »

Director of such recent horror films as The Descent and Doomsday, Neil Marshall is looking to bring a little terror to your favorite family theme park. Marshall is currently in the early stages of discussion with CBS Films to direct their new horror project, Hellfest. The plot of Hellfest follows a costumed killer who singles out unsuspecting theme park attendees to slaughter on Halloween night. The studio plans to start production by the summer of 2012, making this Marshall’s next movie project. If successful, there are hopes to turn the project into a franchise to fill the void that has been left by the Saw, Final Destination and (hopefully) Paranormal Activity series. Hit the jump for more. Deadline reports that Marshall is in talks to direct the project, his first since 2010’s Centurion. While Hellfest would be Marshall’s next movie, he is currently finishing up his directorial effort for “Blackwater, »

Discounting a forthcoming Game of Thrones episode, Neil Marshall‘s been out of any kind of spotlight since the release of 2010′s disappointing Centurion. However, Deadline reports that the Australian genre purveyor will next helm Hellfest (say that fast three times), a horror feature produced by CBS Films and Gale Anne Hurd of Valhalla Entertainment.
The script, by William Penick and Chris Sey, revolves around “a costumed killer who systematically slaughters the unsuspecting visitors who come to a theme park on Halloween night.” Just like any good horror premise, a filmmaker could go in many directions from that point forward; they seem to have multiple things in mind, since Deadline points out that this is the hopeful start of a new franchise.
Having found that judging anything negatively from a logline is a fool’s action, I won’t go too deeply into my own thoughts on the description (short »

Actress Also Discusses Being Part Of Martin McDonagh's 'Seven Psychopaths' Maintaining a career after breaking through as a Bond girl is not the easiest thing in the world. Just ask Izabella Scorupco or Denise Richards. If you can find them. But the current batch seem to be doing alright so far. Rosamund Pike has gone from strength to strength since "Die Another Day," and both Eva Green and Gemma Arterton have worked steadily in interesting films since rolling in the hay with 007. But arguably the one with the most intriguing slate of projects ahead of her is Olga Kurylenko, who played female lead Camille Montes in last Bond entry "Quantum of Solace." The actress has cropped up from time to time since that film, most notably as the villain in Neil Marshall's "Centurion," but she's got no less than five films slated for 2012, varying from 3D »
