Blu Review: Dark Skies
17 May 2013 11:20 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
When first viewing the trailer for Dark Skies, I was immediately excited to see it. It appeared to be another supernatural horror film concerning a creepy little kid. You can never go wrong using that concept. My interest waned a bit upon learning the movie revolved around an alien encounter. I don't dislike movies about aliens, but they just don't excite me as much as a good ghost story or haunted house flick.
I still held on to hope as I put Dark Skies in my Blu-ray player and settled in to watch it. I can happily report that my hopes weren't dashed. The commercials and trailers for the film captured its essence perfectly.
Daniel (Josh Hamilton) and Lacey Barret (Keri Russell) and their two children are just like any ordinary family struggling to make ends meet and pay the mortgage on their suburban two-story house. That is until a »

Chris Pine Joins Joe Carnahan’s Stretch, Mandy Patinkin Set for Zach Braff’s Wish I Was Here, Wei Tang and Leehom Wang Board Michael Mann Thriller
14 May 2013 2:49 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
A few casting stories to share this afternoon. Briefly: Chris Pine will be reuniting with his Smokin Aces director Joe Carnahan on the low-budget comedic thriller Stretch opposite Patrick Wilson. Homeland star and Broadway veteran Mandy Patinkin has been set in the role of Zach Braff’s father in Braff’s partially Kickstarter-funded directorial effort Wish I Was Here. Lust, Caution stars Wei Tang and Leehom Wang have boarded Michael Mann’s untitled cyber thriller starring Chris Hemsworth. Hit the jump for more on the aforementioned projects. Though Star Trek Into Darkness opens domestically this weekend, star Chris Pine certainly isn’t above taking on a smaller role in another film. The Wrap reports that Pine will appear in a cameo capacity in The Grey director Joe Carnahan’s next film, the low-budget actioner Stretch. In keeping with the limousine trend as of late (Holy Motors, Cosmopolis), Patrick Wilson stars »

Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass to Lead Medical Thriller 'Reawakening'
14 May 2013 8:04 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Lately producer Jason Blum and his Blumhouse productions have been on a string of horror hits with the Paranormal Activity franchise, and also new franchises launching from Insidious and Sinister. Now Lionsgate is behind Blum's newest producing effort, a medical thriller called Reawakening with Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass starring in the film for Jiro Dreams of Sushi director David Gelb. The script comes from Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater (who worked on Fox's reboot of Fantastic Four) and follows a team of research students that discovers the secret to bringing subjects back from the dead. More below! But, of course, their work results in a series of sinister consequences and terror. This is another interesting project for the increasingly versatile Mark Duplass. The actor is also a powerhouse in the indie world as a writer and director, and most of his acting roles have been in similar low key releases. »

Olivia Wilde & Mark Duplass Are ‘Reawakening’ In David Gelb’s Thriller
13 May 2013 10:25 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
David Gelb may be best known for his stunning documentary Jiro Dreams Of Sushi, but his next effort will be taking a decidedly darker route. Gelb’s feature length fiction debut, titled Reawakening, will star Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass as research students who happen to discover how to bring the dead back to life, or ‘reawaken’ them. As you can imagine, it doesn’t quite go according to plan. The script is being written by Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater. Dawson wrote the 2008 American remake of Shutter and Slater is set to script the upcoming The Fantastic Four reboot.
Lionsgate are behind the scientific thriller which will be produced by Jason Blum via his Blumhouse banner. Blum is no stranger to horror thanks to his work on Paranormal Activity and Sinister. Here’s hoping that this will be a lot different than just a Zombie film.

Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass to Star in Medical Thriller Reawakening
13 May 2013 3:36 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass are set to team up for a new thriller set within the world of medicine. Variety reports that Wilde and Duplass will lead Lionsgate's Reawakening, which “follows a team of research students that discovers the secret to bringing subjects back from the dead—however, their actions result in a series of sinister consequences.” So it’s kind of like a horror film version of Flatliners with more dead people. Jiro Dreams of Sushi director David Gelb will be taking the helm, with Luke Dawson and Jeremy Slater handling scripting duties. Horror guru Jason Blum—who is behind the Paranormal Activity series, Sinister, and a number of other spooktacular films from the past few years—will produce the pic through his Blumhouse banner. The incredibly busy Duplass recently committed to starring in an HBO comedy pilot that he and his brother Jay Duplass created, and Wilde »

Cinema's Ten Best 'Killer Kid' Murders
10 May 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
The Killer Kid sub-genre is a favorite amongst many horror fans. There is something especially amusing about a pint-sized sociopath knocking off victims twice their size. One of the reasons we like the genre may be that we tend to get a slightly better look in to the psyche of killer children than we do in horror films with full grown behemoths like Jason Voorhees or Leatherface who are beyond reach for making much rhyme or reason of their behavior. Today, we are taking a walk down memory lane and revisiting ten of the most shocking on-screen deaths at the hands of killer children. Not all of our selections are shocking because of blood and gore. Some of our choices are shocking because they broke new ground for the time the film was released, or because of the filmmaker’s willingness to explore the taboo around portraying an individual not »

6 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
This week: Tom Cruise proves naysayers wrong yet again in the above-average thriller "Jack Reacher," which was shot entirely in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and is based on Lee Child's 2005 mystery novel, "One Shot."

Storyline: After five people are shot to death along a riverside Pittsburgh trail, a man is arrested and writes only one message: "Get Jack Reacher." Tom Cruise plays Reacher, an ex-military investigator who lives off the grid and ascertains that the accused has been framed. Reacher teams up with the accused's defense attorney (Rosamund Pike) to figure out who is really behind the shootings on the North Shore Trail and whether or not »

Release Date for Scott Derrickson’s Beware the Night
30 April 2013 5:38 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
Sinister director Scott Derrickson is getting ready to begin production on Beware the Night, and we were hoping to see the movie sometime in 2014. However, Sony is looking to take advantage of a month that has recently become popular for horror films and will release the movie in 2015.
January 15th, 2015 is the release date set for the movie, which means we won’t be seeing it for quite some time. The month has proven very successful for horror movies in recent years, so we’re not surprised to see studios claiming release dates this far ahead of time.
Beware the Night stars Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez and Olivia Munn, and production is expected to start on May 20th in New York. The script was written by Scott Derrickson and Paul Boardman, who previously worked together on The Exorcism Of Emily Rose, and tells the story of a cop that teams »
