Fresh Release: Bill Brown's The Devil's Tomb

3 August 2009 11:51 PM, PDT | Daily Film Music Blog | See recent Daily Film Music Blog news »

With the plethora of sountrack CDs released for your favorite theatrically released features, the music to direct-to-dvd films usually fell below the radar no matter how they good may be. Thanks to enterprising label MovieScoreMedia at least one more score like that is saved from obscurity. Bill Brown's The Devil's Tomb already made it to the top spot of some soundtrack lists, so perhaps it's time to check out what the buzz is all about with its composer. A veteran of video game commissions, Bill Brown wrote this score during his summer break from his current commitments to the hit show CSI: New York which keeps him busy for the rest of his year.

How were you approached to do The Devil's Tomb?

My manager is friends with Bill Sheinberg, one of the executive producers on The Devil's Tomb and he introduced me to Bill back in the spring »

This Week On DVD and Blu-ray: May 26, 2009

26 May 2009 2:01 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

DVD Links: DVD News | Release Dates | New Dvds | Reviews | RSS Feed Falling Down I just posted my review of the Blu-ray edition of the new Warner Bros. release of Falling Down, which you can read here. It was the first time I had seen the 1993 release and while I liked it I can't immediately recommend it as a blind buy for anyone that hasn't seen it in the past. It's a film that depends on the audience's acceptance of the storyline, since it slowly unravels and can be considered quite scattered when the ending is still yet unknown. However, it's definitely a film to check out and one I would bet many will truly love if you don't already. Universal Blu-ray

Children of Men / Seabiscuit / Field of Dreams / Cinderella Man / Spy Game Father's Day isn't until June 21, but if you dad has a soft spot for Blu-ray films Universal has »

The Devil’s Tomb (aka Ice 44, 2009) Movie Review

7 May 2009 11:31 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

Who would have thought that after bursting onto the scene in 1996 as a loudmouth, Quan-loving jock in Cameron Crowe’s romantic comedy “Jerry Maguire” that ten short years later Cuba Gooding Jr. would be going blow-for-blow with Steven Seagal, Jean-Claude Van Damme, and Wesley Snipes in the direct-to-dvd action niche? Of course, unlike those other actors, Gooding has actually maintained a steady and very diverse career that involves dramatic TV roles and supporting turns in Hollywood A-list films. Gooding’s latest direct-to-dvd offering is “The Devil’s Tomb” (previously “Ice 44”), a horror-action thriller that puts the actor in combat fatigues and behind an M16, a place he’s become increasingly comfortable. Who knew Radio would grow up to become such a convincing gung-ho action movie star? “The Devil’s Tomb” has Gooding Jr. playing Mack, the stoic, haunted leader of a small squad of mercenaries that hire out for dangerous missions. »

Ron Perlman Hoping Bubba Nosferatu Will Shoot This Year

16 April 2009 3:45 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

With Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy II now behind us, I'm anxious to see Ron Perlman on the big screen again. I Sell the Dead won't get a big release, I'm planning on catching Mutant Chronicles via On Demand sometime this weekend, and Thomas Jane's The Dark Country doesn't have a release date yet. So what else is on his plate? One of the many projects listed on his IMDb page is one called The Devil's Tomb, directed by Jason Connery, although unfortunately it's going straight-to-dvd. Another one is the Bubba Nosferatu sequel, which we updated in October of last year, reporting that Perlman was officially set to star. Perlman spoke to SciFi Wire yesterday and gave them a few updates on both The Devil's Tomb (which will be out on DVD on May 26th) and Bubba Nosferatu: Curse of the She-Vampires, the long in-development sequel to Don Coscarelli »

The Devil's Tomb On Lockdown: Movie Still, Synopsis and Trailer

3 April 2009 6:48 PM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

A film initially known as "Ice 44," and now "The Devil's Tomb," seems to be doing things backwards. Releasing the flick on DVD first on May 26, 2009 "The Devil's Tomb," will then go on to a limited release date in December of the same year. Starring several accomplished actors including Ron Perlman, Cuba Gooding Jr., Ray Winstone, and Henry Rollins, the question comes up, why is "The Devil's Tomb," going straight-to-dvd? The first trailer is available, for this under the radar film, that is finally starting to receive some attention.

The synopsis...

A team of mercenaries under the command of hard-charging war veteran Mack (Gooding Jr.), are contracted by a mysterious CIA operative named Elissa (Cruz) to rescue a scientist (Perlman) working on an archeological discovery deep under the Middle Eastern desert. With the help of a mysterious priest (Rollins), Mack and his team soon discover the true secret of what lies beneath the sands. »

Specs and Stills from The Devil's Tomb

16 March 2009 5:05 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Sony Pictures released a handful of stills for their upcoming DVD release of The Devil's Tomb, and like always we have them for you in all their gory glory.

Well, okay. Most of them aren't gory, but the last two (including one of a damned near unrecognizable Bill Moseley) are pretty disturbing. Look for the DVD on May 26th, 2009.

Special features will include the following:

Commentary with director Jason Connery and Cuba Gooding Jr. Beneath the Desert: Behind-the-Scenes of The Devil's Tomb featurette Alternate scenes Outtakes So what's it about?

"True Blood" hires a Hispanic vampire

13 March 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

HBO's vampire drama True Blood has just gotten a little hotter. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Cuban-American actress Valerie Cruz has signed on to play an "elegant Hispanic vampire" named Isabel on the new season.

Dexter fans will recognize Cruz as having played Syvia Prado on the Showtime series, but she's also made appearances in several other television shows, including Nip/Tuck, Crossing Jordan and an episode of Grey's Anatomy.

This is a great move for Cruz, whose most recent film The Devil's Tomb (with costars Cuba Gooding Jr. and Taryn Manning) is going straight to DVD this May.

Where will she fit in among Sookie (Anna Paquin), Tara (Rutina Wesley) and the other vampiresses of Bon Temps? It's interesting that her character description includes that she's supposed to be "elegant" — I assume this means she won't be working as a waitress at Merlotte's.

How do you think Isabel will fit into True Blood? »
