Exclusive: Watch the First Clip From the New Spy Thriller The East
10 May 2013 10:00 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
If you grow up in Washington D.C., you're bound to come to a realization that for most people, happens only in the movies: Eventually, you'll discover that someone you know — a friend's quiet mom, or that fit college buddy of your dad's — is a spy. Perhaps that's why director Zal Batmanglij, who hails from the U.S. capital, is so fascinated with the notion of double agents: In his first movie, last year's nifty little thriller Sound of My Voice, he cast his cowriter Brit Marling as the leader of a cult whose two newest acolytes secretly intend to expose her as a sham, and in his upcoming film The East (which bows May 31), Marling flips the script as a corporate spy tasked with infiltrating an anarchist group called the East, which counts among its politically vengeful members Alexander Skarsgard and Ellen Page.

With "Sound Of My Voice," director Zal Batmanglij, and co-writer and star Brit Marling, delved into the world of infiltration, exploring the repercussions of going down the rabbit hole and what happens when expectations are upended, and sympathies to cult behavior start to emerge. And it seems to be a theme that fascinates them as their latest collaboration in the upcoming thriller "The East" also dives into similar territory. Marling leads the the film as former FBI agent Sarah Moss who takes up a job at an elite private intelligence firm headed up by Sharon (Patricia Clarkson). Sarah is assigned to go deep undercover to infiltrate the Anonymous-esque anarchist collective The East, who target major corporations guilty of criminal, moral and ethical crimes. Sarah successfully becomes one of them, but soon the lines between the responsibility to her job and her commitment to the cause begin to blur. And in »

IFFBoston: The East Review
2 May 2013 7:25 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
The East is a schizophrenic film. It’s a thriller, yet it’s final act feels more like a whimper than a bang. It asks big questions, then gives small answers. It wants to force serious thought, but has a handful of clunky, laughable scenes.
Yet still it is entertaining throughout, so I cannot call it a failure.
Co-written by star Brit Marling, The East plays out as an ethical and moral questionnaire. Marling plays an agent at an independent security firm who is tasked with infiltrating an anarchist, eco-terrorist group known as The East. The East is responsible for attacking major corporations and turning their supposed crimes against them; an early scene shows them flooding the home of a major oil corporation’s CEO with oil after they experience a Bp-esque spill. Sure enough, Marling finds the group, but soon finds herself not only connecting with their message, »

‘Another Earth’ Director Mike Cahill Still Stuck on Both Sci-Fi and Brit Marling
30 April 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
There are few films that I’ve come around on as much as I’ve come around on Mike Cahill‘s Another Earth. When the film bowed at Sundance 2011, it was as one half of the buzzed-about “arrival” of star and co-writer Brit Marling, who quite memorably debuted yet another film at the festival that she also co-wrote and starred in (the still far superior Sound of My Voice). While Somv instantly captivated me (and continues to do so), Another Earth frustrated and, quite frankly, angered me. Its unique plot – a twin Earth is discovered heading towards our own Earth, and it soon becomes obvious that said twin Earth also contains a twin of everything else, including Marling’s unlucky Rhoda Williams – seemed utterly wasted, with Cahill and Marling more concerned with mining the non-drama of Marling’s inappropriate relationship with a guy whose family she accidentally killed. Another Earth only came, well »

Brit Marling, Michael Pitt, Steven Yeun & More set for Mike Cahill’s I Origins
30 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Mike Cahill made a remarkable debut back in 2011 with the release of Another Earth, and now he’s begun assembling the cast for his anticipated follow-up, I Origins.
Deadline report that he’ll be reuniting once more with Brit Marling, who will star alongside Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Astrid Bergès-Frisbey (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), and Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife).
Pitt plays a molecular biologist who, together with his brilliant lab partner (Marling), uncovers startling evidence that may fundamentally change society as we know it.
Cahill’s debut was one of the best and most memorable sci-fi movies I think I’ve ever seen. So naturally, I cannot wait to see what he has for us next.
Cahill co-write that first film with Marling, but it sounds like he’ll be directing from a script he wrote solo for I Origins.

After making a name for himself with his feature debut, Sound of My Voice, Zal Batmanglij returned to Sundance at the start of the year with his sophomore film, The East.
Reuniting with Brit Marling, who’s joined by a terrific cast led by Ellen Page and Alexander Skarsgård, the film definitely ought to be on your Must-See list if it isn’t already.
The first teaser trailer debuted earlier in the year, followed by a great new poster last month. And with its release in the Us fast approaching at the end of May, Fox Searchlight have debuted a new trailer and poster to raise the anticipation that much higher.

Sam Worthington Soldiers Up For Daniel Barber's Civil War Thriller The Keeping Room
29 April 2013 9:02 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
While it is doubtful the phrase .Academy Award winner Sam Worthington. is going to sincerely come out of someone.s mouth anytime soon, the guy definitely has an enviable career, mixing gigantic budget affairs like Avatar and Wrath of the Titans with low-budget flicks like Texas Killing Fields. Put him in anything, and he.ll be serviceable. So why not a Civil War thriller? Deadline reports he's the latest to join The Keeping Room, the second film from Harry Brown director Daniel Barber - and I think it.s safe to call him the male lead. He joins Brit Marling (Sound of My Voice), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) and Nicole Beharie (42) in the film, which was written by Julia Hart. In The Keeping Room, Worthington will play a soldier in the last days of the Civil War who breaks off from the impending Union Army and stumbles upon a group »
Michael Pitt, Brit Marling, Steven Yeun, and More to Star in Mike Cahill’s I Origins
29 April 2013 6:14 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Director Mike Cahill has assembled the cast for his follow-up to his 2011 Sundance hit Another Earth. Deadline reports that Michael Pitt (Boardwalk Empire), Brit Marling (Sound of My Voice), Astrid Berges-Frisbey (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), and Emmy-winner Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife) will star in I Origins. Cahill wrote the screenplay, which centers on a molecular biologist and his brilliant lab partner who uncover “startling evidence that may fundamentally change society as we know it.” Pitt will star as the biologist, and the premise sounds like it will tread territory similar to Another Earth, which was a grounded, character-centric story that was told within the confines of a sci-fi premise. Marling co-wrote Another Earth with Cahill, but this one appears to be written solely by Cahill. The actress will next be seen in the thriller The East, which she co-wrote with her »

10 non-blockbuster films we’re looking forward to this summer
29 April 2013 4:43 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Octavia Spencer in Fruitvale Station
The summer season has, over the past few decades, become synonymous with movie blockbuster season, as studios have found the months of May to August to contain the most profitable release dates for big-budget tentpole features, leading to the summer of recent years being filled with superhero films, big budget CGI features, and other tentpole movies that draw in huge crowds. This year is no different, as Marvel’s Iron Man 3 is set to kick off the summer movie season as May rolls around. However, this doesn’t mean non-blockbuster features don’t make their way to theatres during this time, and for those looking for smaller features, there are plenty of viewing options. Here are ten of our most anticipated non-blockbuster features set to be released over the next few months.
Author’s note: All films were selected based on their release date in American theatres. »

Brit Marling Replaces Olivia Wilde In The Keeping Room
26 April 2013 8:31 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Olivia Wilde has dropped out of Daniel Barber’s The Keeping Room (apparently that title is being changed) and replacing her in the Civil War-era dramatic thriller will be up and coming actress Brit Marling, who is starting to make quite the name for herself. Co-starring Hailee Steinfeld and Nicole Beharie, the film will see Marling and Steinfeld play sisters who, “along with an African-American slave (Beharie), are forced to defend their Southern home from soldiers who have broken off from the fast-approaching Union Army.”
It’s unknown why Wilde had to drop out but it’s most likely due to scheduling conflicts. Personally, whatever the reason is, it doesn’t matter to me. I’m just thrilled to see Marling in another film. After breaking out with the indie darling Another Earth, the young actress has been taking Hollywood by storm. She was terrific in the recently released Robert Redford film, »

Fast & Furious 6 and Insidious Producers Set Up Sci-Fi Thriller
26 April 2013 7:02 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Jason Blum (Insidious) and Chris Morgan (Fast & Furious 6) are teaming up to produce an untitled sci-fi thriller, to be written by actor-turned-scribe Christopher Denham (Argo).
The story centers on a group of students whose technological invention has far-reaching ramifications that these young minds cannot fully comprehend. While the project isn't set up at a studio yet, both Jason Blum and Chris Morgan have first-look deals at Universal Pictures, so it seems likely that the movie may end up there. No production schedule was released.
Christopher Denham played one of the houseguests in last year's Best Picture Argo. He has also appeared in The Bay, Sound of My Voice, and had a three-episode arc on the Fox series The Following. On the other side of the camera, he wrote and directed the 2008 feature Home Movie, and wrote the script for director Oren Peli's Area 51. »
