'Divergent' Series: Theo James As Four Is Your New Favorite Crush

12 June 2013 8:13 AM, PDT | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »

There was this one time when a sister told another sister to read Divergent and she took forever to do so but when she did she got through it in three days. Of course it would have been more like one, but a girl has to work, ya know? Almost done with Insurgent, I can't be more in lust (love) with Four, and I'm assuming neither can you. Theo James plays the character from Veronica Roth's bestselling young-adult novel, and we can't help but think the obvious: he's going to be the next big thing.

The 29-year-old actor has a few credits from past work, including Underworld: Awakening, Golden Boy, and Downton Abbey, but his A-list status will soon be arriving once the first film of the series hits theaters March 2014. 

Portraying the love interest of Beatrice "Tris" Prior (Shailene Woodley), Four will easily be compared to the likes »

Divergent - Have a First Look at Theo James as Four!

10 June 2013 2:46 AM, PDT | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »

Summit Entertainment's Divergent has added a first image of Theo James as Four in the Neil Burger film based on the Veronica Roth novel. Screenwritten by Vanessa Taylor and Evan Daughterty, the story is set in a future world where people are divided into distinct factions based on their personalities, Tris Prior (Woodley) is warned she is Divergent and will never fit into any one group. When she discovers a conspiracy to destroy all Divergents, she must find out what makes being Divergent so dangerous before it's too late. Divergent opens in theaters on March 21st, 2014 and also includes Kate Winslet, Jai Courtney, Zoë Kravitz, Ansel Elgort and Maggie Q. I remember talking to Theo James about Underworld: Awakening, and thinking what a down to earth guy this is. Best of luck to him. »

Cannes 2013: Cut-Throats Nine Remake

15 May 2013 5:02 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

In development since at least 2009, the remake of the obscure cult Spanish western Cut-Throats Nine finally looks set to go ahead, following an international deal struck by Canadian "genre distributor" Raven Banner Entertainment. Harvey Keitel, Mads Mikkelsen and Jordi Molla have been attached for years, with Kris Holden-Ried (Underworld: Awakening) and Julian Richings (Cube) just joining. Rodrigo Gudino (The Last Will And Testament Of Rosalind Leigh, which also featured Richings) is the director.If you haven't had the considerable pleasure, the original Cut-Throats Nine involves a lone cavalry sergeant escorting the titular chain gang across hostile territory, trying to keep his daughter safe from his murderous charges and identify which of them killed his wife. There's also the small matter of the actual chain binding the prisoners, which is a camoflauged horde of gold, and the real reason for making the journey. Things don't go so well when the Nine »

The Weinstein Co. Secures International Rights To Kite Starring Samuel L. Jackson And India Eisley

11 May 2013 12:20 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »

For those of you that had Kite release before your time, it's an incredibly violent, gory, graphic, sexual (hentai) anime that debuted back in 1998 which followed teenage school girl Sawa and her attempts to unravel the mystery of her parent's murder. Fate brings her together with two detectives who train her to become a ruthless killing machine under the pretense of finding the killer of her mother and father. But that's only the beginning of the story and things take a very atypical (and far worse) turn once Sawa's tragic backstory is established. The live-action film stars nineteen-year-old India Eisley (Underworld: Awakening, Maleficent) as Sawa, sixty-four-year-old Samuel L. Jackson (The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier) as Karl Aker (Akai) and eighteen-year-old Callan McAuliffe (The Great Gatsby) as Oburi. If you've seen the original anime, you know why the ages are important here. Filming just »

Fox Picks Up Two Genre Shows For Fall Season

9 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

Fox has announced their new show pickups for next season, and of the four dramas, two are genre shows. Score!

First up is Sleepy Hollow, from Fringe co-creators Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. The supernatural-procedural sounds very similar to NBC's Grimm, in that it incorporates classic folklore in a modern day police drama. Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie) to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. Len Wiseman (Underworld) directed the pilot.

Next is Almost Human, which may lean more towards the sci-fi/action genre than horror. J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman (also two of the brains behind Fringe) created the series, and »

FEARnet Movie Review: '6 Souls'

11 April 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »

The patently familiar new psycho thriller 6 Souls actually played film festivals back in 2010 under the title Shelter before collecting dust on a Weinstein shelf for a few years, only to pop up on VOD this week. In April of 2013. That's not meant to imply that every genre title that suffers a long release delay is a generic, tiresome, and already outdated piece of low-end cable TV fodder, but in the case of 6 Souls (as well as the recent John Cusack flick The Factory) the plain truth is that it would have been a forgettable turkey three years ago. Today it's just a three-year-old turkey with some mild curiosity value.

The curious will be rewarded with a psychological thriller about a man with multiple personalities that seem to correspond to a half-dozen murder victims. Jonathan Rhys Myers is the lunatic suffering from what I call "early-career Edward Norton" psychoses; Julianne Moore »

Writer Michael Cooney Talks 6 Souls, His Interest in Psychological Stories, His Writing Process, What’s up Next, and More

9 April 2013 7:20 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

After a three year delay 6 Souls is finally available to watch here in the states.  The film was released in the UK under the title Shelter back in 2010.  When a movie sits on the shelf that long it’s usually the sign of something rotten in Denmark, but 6 Souls is actually a pretty fun movie with a killer cast.  The story follows psychiatrist Clara (Julianne Moore) as she attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding a Dissociative Identity patient (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) with a unique set of symptoms.   Directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein (Underworld: Awakening) and written by Michael Cooney (Identity), the film also stars Jeffrey DeMunn and Frances Conroy. During a recent press day for the film I landed an exclusive phone interview with Michael Cooney.  We talked about the similarities between 6 Souls and Identity, the film’s impressive cast, his research for the mystical elements of 6 Souls, »

Film Review: ‘6 Souls’

7 April 2013 2:33 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

One of the movies’ least convincing three-faces-of-Eve routines occupies centerstage in “6 Souls,” a schlock supernatural shocker that has finally escaped into a handful of U.S. theaters five years after it was shot and more than three after it first opened internationally. Cannily retitled (from the original “Shelter”) to ensure better placement in alphabetized VOD menus, this Doa pickup for Weinstein Co. sub-label Radius may scare up a few smallscreen curiosity seekers, owing to the presence of top-billed Julianne Moore, before taking its rightful place in the genre graveyard.

For a film that involves the stealing — and swallowing — of human souls, one wonders how much Moore was paid for hers when she agreed to star as a Pittsburgh forensic shrink whose latest patient (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) appears to suffer from multiple personality disorder. A skeptic who doesn’t believe in Mpd, and an atheist to boot (generally bad news in »

6 Souls Review

5 April 2013 6:49 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

For me, the horror bug is one I’ve been unable to kick in all the years since I’ve been infatuated with cinema, in spite of the fact that the genre has slid significantly from grace (and general watchability). Last year alone the four worst films I saw (of 145) were horror flicks and it’s come to the point where scouring the indie circles is close to the only way to find fare of note. I had no expectations when I ventured into 6 Souls, from the fact it hasn’t seen the light of the big screen despite being shelved since 2010 to the generally toxic reviews it had already received. The signs weren’t promising.

Imagine my amazement (as in check as it may have been) that 6 Souls, is actually far from a total disaster. It is in fact a compulsively watchable effort. More than I can say for most films of this ilk, »

Divergent fans: we have our Four. And that sentence will make zero sense to anyone who hasn't read Veronica Roth's bestselling novel. However, for those into the popular first book of Roth's series, you can now debate whether or not Theo James (Downton Abbey, Underworld: Awakening) fits how you pictured Four.
