New Kick-Ass 2 international trailer
3 June 2013 3:32 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Since its release date was pushed back a couple of months ago, things have fallen pretty quiet on the Kick-Ass 2 front lately as Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s costumed crime-fighters take a back seat to A-list superheroes Iron Man, Superman and Wolverine. However, Universal has now released an international trailer for the Jeff Wadlow-directed sequel, and while we've already seen most of it in the first red band trailer, there are a few snippets of new footage here and there to tide us over until the marketing campaign kicks in properly ahead of the film's release this August.
Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010's irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass' (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our hero joins them on patrol. »

Aussie box-office gets the staggers
20 May 2013 7:21 PM, PDT | IF.com.au | See recent IF.com.au news »
Ticket sales at Australian cinemas this year are running at about 7 per cent below the same period in 2012 despite strong trading in January and April, weighed down by relatively soft results in February and March.
Takings for the May 16-19 frame totalled just under $9.5 million, down 22 per cent on the prior weekend, as Star Trek Into Darkness and Iron Man 3 dominated the business. .The market is rather shallow with no robust depth below the top two titles,. observed one distributor.
Of the debutants, The Call, the female-skewed thriller starring Halle Berry and Abigail Breslin, overshadowed the male-oriented Dwayne Johnson drama Snitch.
Outside the top 10, Tabu, the African-set melodrama from Portuguese auteur Miguel Gomes, posted a healthy $73,000 on 12 screens, which brings the cumulative total to nearly $160,000..
Josh Boone.s Us indie romantic drama A Place for Me, which stars Greg Kinnear and Jennifer Connelly as a divorced couple, was misplaced, »

The Liability Review
17 May 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Craig Viveiros.
Starring: Tim Roth, Peter Mullan, Jack O’Connell, Talulah Riley.
Running Time: 82 minutes.
Certificate: 15.
Synopsis: Adam (Jack O’Connell), 19, agrees to do a day’s driving for his mum’s gangster boyfriend and is soon pulled into a world of deceit, violence, murder and sex trafficking. Who knew being Tim Roth’s chauffeur was so demanding?
This cat-and-mouse British thriller manages to separate itself from the pack just long enough to entertain, largely thanks to its principal cast and dry script. Jack O’Connell heads up proceedings as typical lout and layabout Adam, who, after smashing up his mum’s boyfriend’s car, agrees to a driving job to make amends. Unluckily for him, said mum’s boyfriend is actually a gangster who sends Adam to drive for ageing assassin Roy (Tim Roth).
Craig Viveiros treads a fine line between light humour and serious drama in his second feature film as director, »

U.K. Agency Curtis Brown Flexes Its Prod’n Muscle
10 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
Since joining Curtis Brown in 1997, Nick Marston (pictured above) has led its transformation from musty literary boutique into one of London’s largest and most dynamic talent agencies, with its own flourishing production arm.
As chairman of the theater, film and TV department, Marston reps the film rights to novelists such as John Le Carre and David Mitchell. His writing and directing clients include John Hillcoat, Rowan Joffe, Hossein Amini and Niels Arden Oplev.
But his most radical and controversial move was the 2008 launch of Cuba Pictures to develop, package and produce for Curtis Brown clients.
The label recently announced plans for a $20 million, seven-part BBC TV series based on Susanna Clarke’s novel about warring 19th century magicians, “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell.”
That’s a significant step up following the acclaim for its first two productions: John Crowley’s telepic “Boy A” (pictured below) which launched the career of Andrew Garfield, »

The Liability: World Exclusive Tim Roth Clip
7 May 2013 3:46 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The Liability is the tale of a seasoned assassin hoping to retire named Roy (Tim Roth), who gets teamed with a young, enthusiastic driver, Adam (Jack O’Connell) for his next job (as a result of Adam owing a ruthless local crime boss, played by Peter Mullan).
It should be a quick and easy hit, but the two find themselves at a cross-roads as Roy becomes increasingly desperate to escape this life, while Adam is drawn ever more into it, gaining a taste for killing. However, things get even dicier when a beautiful, enigmatic young woman (Talulah Riley) witnesses one of their murders, which by the professional hitman code, suggests that she must also be taken care of. Soon, it becomes clear that her coming into the fold is no accident, complicating their situation considerably.
Boasting strong visuals and a pulsing soundtrack, The Liability promises to be another potent demonstration »

Christopher Mintz-Plasse's Red Mist is out for revenge against the costumed crime-fighters Kick-Ass (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Hit-Girl (Chloe Grace Moretz) in the upcoming superhero sequel Kick-Ass 2, but before he puts his plans in action he's also set to undergo a makeover, transforming himself into the world's first supervillain, The Motherfucker, who just so happens to be the subject of the latest character poster. Somehow, I don't think we'll be seeing too many of these around the local multiplex:
It's certainly been a busy week for Kick-Ass fans, what with the release of a Hit-Girl-centric trailer (in both green-band and red-band versions), along with character posters for Hit-Girl and Jim Carrey's Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Tim Roth May Reteam With Quentin Tarantino For A Future Project
21 March 2013 4:47 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
The talented duo haven’t collaborated together since Four Rooms in 1995, but while promoting his new film Broken, Tim Roth hinted that his next acting project may be with none other than Quentin Tarantino.
Posed with the question of when he will work with the celebrated director again, here’s what Roth had to say:
“I actually saw Quentin the other night and so we’re gonna [sic] a meet for a beer now that all the awards season thing has faded away and we can have a serious talk about [his next film].”
Renowned for his stand-out role as Mr. Orange in Tarantino’s seminal crime thriller Reservoir Dogs, Roth was one of the actors stolen from Hollywood by TV’s resurgence in 2009 – wherein he starred as Dr. Cal Lightman in Fox’s short lived series Lie to Me.

Disney's prequel to the Wizard of Oz aims to steal family audiences before Easter, knocking Wreck-It Ralph to third place
The winner
After four weeks where the market has been dominated by Wreck-It Ralph, Disney scored again with its latest family title, Oz the Great and Powerful. Oz's £3.71m is a decent opening figure, and Disney will be hoping to sustain the title throughout March and then coast through the two weeks of Easter school holiday.
In the Us, Oz opened with a muscular $79m, indicating a UK debut of about £8m could have been expected. The big UK shortfall on the rule-of-thumb projection may be explained by the huge popularity of L Frank Baum and all things Oz in North America, which is not matched in the UK. The respective opening figures for Alice in Wonderland, from Oz producer Joe Roth, were much better aligned, with $116m in the »

'Haneke' is hidden no more
His tweets fooled Hollywood and stars such as Salman Rushdie, Debra Messing, Russell Crowe and Ben Affleck. But he's also been acclaimed as "the best thing on Twitter" amid the carefully choreographed publicity of studio Oscar campaigns. And today, Trash can solve the mystery puzzling the film world: who is the genius behind the fake Michael Haneke Twitter account?
