‘The Yellow Birds’ Trailer: Jennifer Aniston & Alden Ehrenreich Lead Big-Name Cast In Iraq War Drama
Two young U.S. soldiers are heading for a deployment in Iraq. “Promise you’ll look out for him over there,” the mother of one tells her son’s buddy. “Yeah, of course,” he replies.
But war is hell — in many ways — as laid out in the first trailer for The Yellow Birds, which mixes intense battle action with intense post-battle emotion.
The logline: Brandon Bartle (Alden Ehrenreich) and Daniel Murphy (Tye Sheridan) forge a deep bond of friendship during boot camp. When tragedy strikes their platoon in Iraq, one of them must return home to face the hard truth behind the incident and help a grieving mother (Jennifer Aniston) find peace. Toni Collette, Jason Patric and Jack Huston also star.

In my review of his new film A Ghost Story, I mentioned that David Lowery’s greatest weakness prior to making it was in tying his creativity to slight variations on other people’s movies. Alexandre Moors’ The Yellow Birds, which Lowery cowrote with R.F.I. Porto, suggests he has not completely worked past that stage of his artistic development. A jumbled mix of stock war-film influences (The Deer Hunter, Apocalypse Now, and Platoon remain potent inspirations for men of a certain age), The Yellow Birds features some fine acting and character work inside a plot that tries five different paths without committing to any of them. This could be a potent way to explore the unpredictability of war, but instead feels like a callous attempt to maintain an audience’s interest in what is already plenty interesting – the corrosive effect of violence, no matter who perpetrates it.

War, of course, is hell. We know this, but it stands that we should be reminded now and again. With The Yellow Birds, filmmaker Alexandre Moors tries to find beauty in the brutality. From a screenplay by David Lowery and R.F.I. Porto and based on the novel by Kevin Powers, the film centers on two young soldiers, Brandon Bartle (Alden Ehrenreich) and Daniel Murphy (Tye Sheridan), in the thick of the Iraq War.
Taking orders from the intense and unstable Sergeant Sterling (Jack Huston, doing a lot here, for better and worse), Bartle and Murphy become fast friends. At a family event, Murphy’s mother Maureen (Jennifer Aniston, also on as executive producer) meets Bartle and asks that he look after her son. This interaction underlines the conflict to come.

Jennifer Aniston will soon be seen showing off her dramatic chops once again, in Alexandre Moors’ Iraq War drama The Yellow Birds. The film will make its debut at the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, and EW caught up with Aniston ahead of its premiere.
“War movies aren’t usually my thing; I find them very hard to watch,” Aniston says. “ the way this script read, and the vision that Alex had — it was really connecting into the humanity of the soldiers; the parents that are left behind waiting, counting the minutes; the loss of innocence.

Courtesy of publisher Red Giant Entertainment, the chilling Isaiah Washington drama Blue Caprice, from director Alexandre Moors (his debut feature), which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and was picked up by Sundance Selects, will be adapted to the page as a graphic novel, in a rather unexpected, curious move. Scribe R.F.I. Porto, who wrote the screenplay for the film will adapt his own script into what will apparently be a graphic novel prequel, which will serve as a companion to the film, giving readers further insight into the background and motivations of the film's lead characters John Allen Muhammad (Washington)...

Thoughtful performances and grim visual elegance aren’t enough to save this portrait of abuse and control twisted into banal evil from becoming too banal to have much bite. I’m “biast” (pro): nothing
I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
I can’t get stop hearing the title of this film as an emotional descriptive, translating as something like “doleful whim.” I suppose it was intentional on the parts of director Alexandre Moors and screenwriter R.F.I. Porto, making their feature debuts here, spinning the make and model of an automobile into something metaphoric. The 2002 Washington DC snipers — the relationship between whom this meditative film aims to explore — actually did drive a blue Chevy Caprice while committing their random murders… which was surely too perfect a symbol to let pass. So it’s a shame the film doesn’t deliver on the depressive double entendre.

The shootings were so random -- a parking lot, at a gas station, a guy mowing grass, a baby-sitter reading a book on a bus stop bench.
They happened in a spree -- in Maryland, Virginia, greater Washington, D.C. -- and set off a frantic manhunt and car hunt. He had to be a "disaffected white male." He called in threats and warnings: "Your children are not safe, anywhere, at any time."
Was the shooter driving a van? Or white truck?
No, it was a "Blue Caprice." And the "shooter" was two black men, John Allen Muhammad and a teen he treated as his "son," Lee Malvo.
"Blue Caprice" is a chilling portrait of motive, manipulation and mass murder. As Muhammad -- never called by that name in Alexandre Moors' film -- Isaiah Washington paints a portrait of brittle charm and embittered, bloody-minded grudges. We meet a doting father,...

Chicago – Alexandre Moors’ “Blue Caprice” presents no easy answers to a situation that likely doesn’t have any. I get that. I don’t need a traditional, TV-movie dissection of the D.C. sniper.
However, Moors’ complete refusal to give the viewer anything substantial to hold on to in this stylish telling of a dark story pushed me out of the film both times I saw it, first at Sundance and then again more recently. Both times, I found the film as surface-level as its title, the description of the vehicle driven by its villains. The movie never gets beyond the most iconic image that gives it a name; never digging deep enough into these characters to register as something human instead of a filmmaking experiment.
Rating: 2.5/5.0

Blue Caprice
Written by R.F.I. Porto
Directed by Alexandre Moors
USA, 2013
When making a fictional film about a horrific real-life event, the trap is in explanations. Everyone from politicians to part-time Wikipedia editors has already had their chance to weigh in on the cause of the event, and everyone who cares to have an opinion will likely have formed theirs well before the movie opens. Explaining the tragedy for them will not do; they key instead is to turn the participants, who have not been much more than booking photos in a news report for most of the audience, into fully realized human beings.
Accordingly, Alexandre Moors’ debut feature Blue Caprice is at its weakest when it applies any explanation to the story of John Allen Muhammed (Isaiah Washington) and Lee Boyd Malvo (Tequan Richmond), the two men who murdered ten people in a series of sniper-style attacks in the Washington,...

Any hack filmmaker can score cheap emotional points by rubbing our collective noses in real-life tragedy and horror. An artist, on the other hand, can take an awful event and use it as a window to look inside the human experience by taking a step back and presenting how the seemingly unthinkable can become all too true. That’s what screenwriter R.F.I. Porto and director Alexandre Moors have accomplished with “Blue Caprice,” a film that explores the D.C. Sniper shootings of October 2002 from the point of view of the perpetrators. The movie never lets the killers off the hook for.

Time moves by so quickly it's hard to believe the Beltway sniper attacks occurred just shy of 11 years ago. As would be expected the story of the man, John Allen Muhammad, and teenager, Lee Boyd Malvo, that perpetrated the acts has now been made, but a little surprisingly it's being hailed as something to watch. Blue Caprice, named for the Chevrolet Caprice the two modified into something of a sniper's nest to carry out their attacks, follow the attacks from the point of view of the two perpetrators, whose distorted father-son relationship facilitated their long and bloody journey across America. Isaiah Washington ("Grey's Anatomy) and Tequan Richmond play the two leads under the direction of Alexandre Moors with a screenplay by R.F.I. Porto. Sundance Selects will release the films in theaters on September 13 and on demand on the 17th. Check out the trailer and poster below.

Details are few as to the specific plot of Cannibal , but the trade notes that is a crime thriller and has to do with illegal organ trading.

A haunting new trailer has been released for "Blue Sniper," a thriller from first-time feature director Alexandre Moors and first-time feature screenwriter R.F.I. Porto. Inspired by the Beltway Snipers rampage of 2002, "Blue Caprice" takes viewers back into the tension and horrors that plagued the Washington D.C., Virginia and Maryland areas over a decade ago. Isaiah Washington plays John Allen Muhammed, the elder perpetrator of the massacre, with Tequan Richmond as Lee Boyd Malvo, the young man that Muhammed lured into an elaborate plot. Altering a former police car, a blue Chevrolet Caprice, the duo set out along and around Interstate 95 picking off victims one by one with Malvo shooting out a hole carved in the trunk. The trailer suggests the film embraces an ambiance of tension and dread while exploring the bizarre father-son relationship that the two men shared before committing the heinous murders.

Now 11 years later a film has been made about the shootings, but told from the perspective of the snipers. The father-son-esque duo purchased a blue 1990 Chevy Caprice sedan and shot at innocent victims along the highway and in various places around Virginia and DC. The film is called Blue Caprice, directed by Alexandre Moors, starring Isaiah Washington (seen on "Grey's Anatomy") and Tequan Richmond as the snipers. It premiered at Sundance to quite a bit of acclaim and will be released this fall, with the first official trailer for this harrowing drama now available.

There's a very haunting film titled Blue Caprice that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and also played New Directors/New Films in New York (where I later caught up with it). Sundance Selects picked it up for release and has scheduled it to open limited starting September 20th, 2013 later this fall (date via twitter). That's right around the same time as Tiff and Venice as well. Blue Caprice is a dramatized retelling of the 2002 Beltway sniper attacks, focusing on the two individuals doing the killing, starring Isaiah Washington and Tequan Richmond.

As President Obama and Congress begin to debate gun control in Washington, one movie at Sundance -- "Blue Caprice" -- has already weighed in on the tragedy of mass shootings: killers aren't born, they're made. Alexandre Moors' film tells the story of the Beltway snipers, two unknown criminals who killed innocent civilians at random in the Washington D.C. area in 2002. Rather than focus on the senseless killings, scribe R.F.I. Porto and Moors convey how the two assassins came to commit those crimes, how an embittered John Allen Muhammad (Isaiah Washington)...

As always, these lineups are incredibly hard to predict, but amid this group there are a few interesting titles. The Dramatic competition includes Jill Soloway's Afternoon Delight, a dark comedy starring Kathryn Hahn, Juno Temple, Josh Radnor and Jane Lynch that centers on a L.A. housewife who hires a stripper as a live-in nanny. I had not heard of David Lowery's Ain't Them Bodies Saints, but a cast that includes Rooney Mara, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Nate Parker and Keith Carradine is immediately appealing, while the plot compares itself to Terrence Malick's Badlands and Bonnie & Clyde telling a story of Bob Muldoon and Ruth Guthrie, two young outlaws who are brought down by the authorities in the hills of Texas.
