Peter Mullan Goes on a Monster Hunt in The Loch

13 May 2013 11:59 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Is the water-dwelling beast known as Nessie just an old salt's tale, or could there be something real to the legend of the mythical beast? That's the question posed by the new film looking to delve into those waters of mystery.

According to Screen Daily, director James Watkins (The Woman In Black) has a joint company with Altitude, which is launching its first production, The Loch, written by Watkins and Simon Duric. Watkins was initially attached to direct, but now Duric will take the helm. Peter Mullan (pictured; War Horse, Trainspotting) has come on board to lead the cast.

“The film is a character-driven horror thriller that is an update on the Loch Ness monster myth. The story follows a family hiding their own secrets who encounter dark forces on a weekend holiday near Loch Ness.”

More on this one soon!

London — Samuel L. Jackson is attached to play the U.S. President in Jalmari Helander’s English-language debut “Big Game,” which Altitude Film Sales will tubthump in Cannes.

Altitude also will be selling Peter Mullan-starrer “The Loch,” the first project to emerge from the partnership between its parent company, Altitude Film Entertainment, and James Watkins, the helmer of “The Woman in Black” and “Eden Lake.”

First Photos From The F Word Flaunt A Lovesick Daniel Radcliffe

12 May 2013 7:51 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

A fair amount of Hollywood’s output stems from The Blacklist. About 200, in fact. The F Word is one which found a place in 2008. The list is made up of the best as-yet unproduced screenplays, which are voted on by film industry development executives. It’s a chance for budding screenwriters to upload their spec scripts and see how Tinseltown responds.

One of those success stories, The F Word, was adapted by Elan Mastai, the writer behind, err, Alone In The Dark and Sam Jackson actioner, The Samaritan. Based on the play Cigars And Toothpaste by T.J. Dawe and Michael Rinaldi, the film captures the confusion between two friends who realise they quite fancy each other. That’s right folks, the F stands for friends. Not that other word you were thinking. Here’s the official synopsis:

'Star Wars Episode 7' to film in UK

10 May 2013 4:59 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Star Wars Episode 7 will be filmed in the UK.

Lucasfilm has agreed a deal with Chancellor George Osborne for the highly-anticipated sci-fi sequel to shoot in locations across Britain in 2014.

The Jj Abrams-directed project is taking advantage of new tax reliefs brought in over the past several years, which have already seen the likes of Skyfall, Inception and The Woman in Black shot in the UK.

"We've devoted serious time and attention to revisiting the origins of Star Wars as inspiration for our process on the new movie, and I'm thrilled that returning to the UK for production and utilising the incredible talent there can be a part of that," Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said in a statement.

"Speaking from my own longstanding connection to the UK with films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Empire of the Sun and recently War Horse, it's very exciting to be heading back. »

We first highlighted that Paul Hyett’s (who did the FX for ‘The Woman in Black,’ ‘Eden Lake,’ ‘The Descent’) directorial debut, the horror thriller The Seasoning House, was on its way to a UK theatrical release.

Letters: Media studies hit by film charity closure

5 May 2013 4:05 PM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

I am appalled to learn that Film Education, the charity that provides curriculum-based teaching resources, teacher training and cinema-based events across the UK, has closed (Report, 23 April). Film Education has been a vital resource for me during seven years heading a media department at an outstanding north London comprehensive girls' school.

Every September I launch the Young Film Critic of the Year Award as part of my induction into the UK film industry and introduction to journalism courses. In October I take my As and A2 students in lesson time to National Schools Film Week, an astonishing network of morning film screenings that take place for a fortnight throughout the whole of Britain.

Images Of Black Women Film Festival | London Palestine Film Festival | Marcel L'Herbier: Fabricating Dreams

Images Of Black Women Film Festival, London

This festival has a clear mission: to promote women of African descent, in front of and behind the camera. The result is a spread of films from around the globe that you're unlikely to see anywhere else. Family drama Elza is the first female-directed feature from Guadeloupe; Pariah charts the coming out of a Brooklyn lesbian; and Black is a polished Senegalese action-thriller. There are docs on Nigerian women who protest against oil companies by threatening to strip naked, plus various art and children's events.

Stiller Sought to Helm Downey Jr.'s 'Pinnochio'

3 May 2013 1:22 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I'm not sure what I think of a live-action adaptation of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio, especially if it were to be directed by Tim Burton, which was the original plan with Robert Downey Jr. set to star as Geppetto. As it turns out, that iteration of the story seems to have gone by the wayside, but now it seems Downey has a new helmer in line... his Tropic Thunder director and co-star, Ben Stiller. Recently Downey floated the idea to Sky Italia saying, "I would like to make it with Ben Stiller" and since then the rumor hasn't gone away to the point Deadline.com now reports Stiller is in talks with Warner Bros. to direct the picture. As far as the story, Downey was quoted in the recent GQ profile on the actor saying: My first pitch! I got real excited about it. I was just thinking about Geppetto as »

Daniel Radcliffe on Frankenstein: 'Best script I've ever read'

2 May 2013 10:05 PM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has talked about his role in the upcoming adaptation of Frankenstein.

The 23-year-old, who is reported to be in final talks for the Max Landis movie, confirmed in a new interview that he is 'committed' to the role.

Radcliffe told Empire that he thinks the off-the-wall retelling of the classic horror story is the "best script" he has read since Harry Potter.

"If I remember correctly, the script said, 'Frankenstein By Max Landis, Based On (The America Popular Culture Zeitgeist Interpretation of) Mary Shelley's Frankenstein'," recalled Radcliffe.

"It's far and away the best script I've read coming out of a big studio in the time that I've been off Potter. It's definitely going to be unusual."

Radcliffe also spoke about his role in new movie Horns.

Harry Potter's Daniel Radcliffe to star in crime thriller Tokyo Vice

2 May 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

It seems unlikely that Daniel Radcliffe will ever escape the shadow of the Harry Potter franchise. For many movie-goers he will always be the boy wizard. However, the actor is doing a decent job of keeping busy and certainly isn't giving up on work, as many of us probably would in his position.

After being a successful focal point for the cinematic version of The Woman in Black and throwing himself into a number of stage roles, Radcliffe is continuing to diversify. According to Empire, he's now set to play the lead in Tokyo Vice, a thriller based on the memoirs of journalist Jake Adelstein. Radcliffe will play the idealistic American hack, working the crime desk at a Tokyo newspaper and delving into the dealings of one of the city's biggest gangsters, despite the personal risks.

Tokyo is known for its Yakuza gang culture and the city could provide Radcliffe's »

Lily Collins Brings 'Pride and Prejudice and Zombies' Back from the Dead

2 May 2013 6:58 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Source: Getty Images

The adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith's zombified take on Jane Austen's classic novel is showing signs of life again. "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," following Elizabeth Bennet as she copes with life and love and the undead, has changed hands a few times. David O. Russell, Mike White, and Craig Gillespie were all rumored to direct at one point. Russell wrote the screenplay, and Natalie Portman was rumored to star in the film, but last we heard, Portman is now producing under her Handsomecharlie Films banner.

The latest rumor involves "Igby Goes Down" director Burr Steers and "Mirror Mirror" actress Lily Collins. The star is currently in negotiations for the role, which we hope goes well since it seems like a match made for zombified England. What do you think?

Daniel Radcliffe to play real-life American reporter in 'Tokyo Vice'

2 May 2013 5:05 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Daniel Radcliffe is to star in Tokyo Vice.

Directed by Anthony Mandler, the fact-based thriller will star Radcliffe as American reporter Jake Adelstein, Deadline reports.

Adelstein was the first ever non-Japanese staff writer at the Yomiuri Shimbun newspaper and became involved with Japanese crime boss Tadamasa Goto while covering the Tokyo crime scene.

Adelstein co-wrote the screenplay, which is based on his own memoir detailing his investigation and eventual exposure of Goto, and the personal toll it took on him.

Radcliffe's Kill Your Darlings, in which he plays Beat poet Allen Ginsberg, premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival.

It was recently confirmed that he will star in a new version of Frankenstein from Sherlock director Paul McGuigan.

Iron Man 3 smashes his way to the top at the UK box office

2 May 2013 3:43 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

More like an Avengers Assemble sequel than a tired third instalment, the reinvigorated action hero powers in at No 1

The winner

As Disney prepared Iron Man 3 for release, the question was always: would it perform like the first two instalments in the Tony Stark series, or could it fly close to the astonishing success of The Avengers last summer? Iron Man opened in May 2008 with £5.47m including £667,000 in previews. Iron Man 2 followed two years later with £7.66m including previews of £877,000, an increase of 40%. Then April 2012 saw The Avengers soar away with £15.78m, including £2.55m in previews – more than double the Iron Man 2 debut.

With £13.71m including £2.32m in previews, Iron Man 3 is 79% up on the opening of Iron Man 2 and just 13% down on the equivalent number for Avengers. In other words, the film has performed more like a sequel to Avengers than to the Iron Man movies. »
