Exclusive: Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield), Scottie Thompson (Crown Vic) and Michael Weston (Home Before Dark) are in production in Ohio on Down to the Felt, an indie dark comedy with action elements from filmmaker Jon Osbeck. The trio joins a cast that also includes Jo-Ann Robinson and Cullen Douglas.
Written and produced by Dino Tripodis, Ralph Scott, and Osbeck, Down to the Felt tells the story of Paul (Stahl-David), a down-on-his-luck compulsive gambler who makes a desperate deal with a psychopathic hitman (Weston) to kill him in two weeks. But then he meets Erica (Thompson), a mystery woman, and life suddenly starts dealing him aces.
Previously co-directing the award-winning military drama Minus One, Osbeck is also producing Down to the Felt through his production shingle Big Deal Pictures, alongside Douglas.
Stated Osbeck, “It’s truly an embarrassment of riches to be working with both Michaels and Scottie. Their roles all demand...

2023 happens to be the 15th anniversary of the release of the creature feature Cloverfield (watch it Here), which was directed by Matt Reeves and spawned an anthology franchise, being followed by Dan Trachtenberg’s 10 Cloverfield Lane and Julius Onah’s The Cloverfield Paradox. Last year, Under the Shadow‘s Babak Anvari signed on to direct a new Cloverfield sequel from a screenplay by iBoy writer Joe Barton. The only information we’ve really learned about this new Cloverfield sequel is that, unlike the original film, it won’t be presented in the found footage style. But during an interview with CinemaBlend, 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg revealed that the film is setting aside the anthology approach to be a direct sequel to the original film. He also said that it’s going to be “very cool”.

During the Second World War, the Nazis found the body of a British Royal Marine floating in the sea off the coast of Spain. To their surprise, they discovered that the case attached to the dead man's wrist contained top-secret documents related to the Allies' imminent invasion of Sardinia and Greece. Hitler jumped right on it and diverted troops and tank divisions to the region to ward off the attack.
The siege never came, however, because the Allies invaded Sicily instead. It was all a big fake out -- British intelligence had dressed the corpse of a deceased homeless person as the mysterious messenger and deposited it near the Spanish coast by submarine in the hope that the Nazis would find it and take the bait. The elaborate ruse was named Operation Mincemeat.

In Matt Reeves' "Cloverfield," the severed head of the Statue of Liberty crashes near bystanders exiting a going-away office party, while a monster rampages New York City. The events of the film are relayed via found footage, and the monster in question emerges as an unconventional, terrifying entity, whose origins remained mysterious before "Cloverfield" ballooned into a film franchise. This, paired with cryptic Lovecraftian puzzles surfacing on the web as a part of the film's viral marketing campaign painted "Cloverfield" as a puzzle itself — audiences were intrigued by the idea of a creature feature that teased ample meta-theories and launched mini-ARGs to help create hype around Reeves' found-footage horror. Moreover, when the first trailer for the film was released, it was deliberately untitled, leaving audiences baffled about the nature of the film, and what exactly it had to offer.

Roberto Sneider, whose credits include “You’re Killing Me Susana” and “Dos Crímenes,” has been tapped to direct multi-generational family drama “Blood Knot,” which stars Michael Douglas and Cameron Douglas. Emmy and Tony nominated actor David Morse, Michael Stahl-David and Walker Scobell have joined the cast.
Screen Media will be presenting the project to buyers at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film is based on Bob Rich’s novel “Looking Through Water” and is adapted for the screen by Rowdy Herrington (“Road House”). It follows a father who, in an attempt to reconnect with his estranged son, invites him to Belize to compete in a father-son fishing competition.
Sneider replaces Howard Deutch, who was originally announced as director, but had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.

Despite its kaiju trappings, Cloverfield always seemed like an unlikely movie to earn a sequel, let alone a franchise. One of the best entries of the 2000s found footage craze, Cloverfield was less a killer monster movie and more character driven, focusing largely on Rob (Michael Stahl-David) making his way across a devastated New York City to reunite with his ex-girlfriend Beth (Odette Yustman). When their story ended, so did sequel chances.
But that wasn’t always the plan. Talking about the movie’s 15th anniversary, director Matt Reeves recalled the sequel hook he included in the original film. “I did something in the movie when Hud [the videographer played by Tj Miller] is on the bridge before the tail comes and smashes the Brooklyn Bridge in half,” Reeves told The Hollywood Reporter. “There’s a moment where you actually see someone filming him and you realize, “Oh, there’s another perspective on this evening.

Cloverfield wasn’t Matt Reeves’ feature directorial debut, but it’s the film that put him on the trajectory towards two Planet of the Apes movies and 2022’s The Batman. Now, one would think that a found-footage monster film would be a walk in the park for a filmmaker who’s been making blockbusters look easy for the last decade, but having joined the enterprise late in the game alongside producer J.J. Abrams and screenwriter Drew Goddard, Reeves had his work cut out for him with production beginning just three months later.
With the film mostly taking place at night, Reeves himself shot a lot of the film handheld in order to achieve the cinéma vérité style, but the late nights and rushed schedule quickly took their toll.
“This doctor came and he was like, ‘I see you keep getting sick. I can give you … a drug called Provigil. This...

Remember the days when the term "mystery box" wasn't solely meant as a pejorative? Movie fans weren't always so jaded about J.J. Abrams' famous catchphrase and mission statement. Although, in fairness, it certainly helped that filmmakers at the time hadn't overused the concept to an egregious level just yet. Back in those more innocent times, mass audiences actually craved the exhilarating feeling of not having any idea what was going on -- a far cry from modern fandom, where Easter eggs and references are broken down into a fine powder only moments after a movie or television show first airs.
Perhaps the most famous example of this phenomenon came as a result of "Cloverfield," the 2008 found-footage monster movie by a relatively unknown filmmaker by the name of Matt Reeves. After dropping a surprise teaser attached to prints of the first "Transformers" movie, the mysterious footage detailing some sort of...

We’re happy to report that this Goddard – Abrams – Reeves monster thriller holds up, when most everything else from the years of shaky-cam nausea and ‘found footage’ boredom disappoints. The ‘found’ video recording of the end of NYC is more than a gimmick, and it brings the panic for a you-are-there night of mayhem, chaos and destruction. The show was engineered to look like low-grade amateur video footage . . . so . . . why a 4K presentation? Curious format-philes will want to know.

(Welcome to Tales from the Box Office, our column that examines box office miracles, disasters, and everything in between, as well as what we can learn from them.)
Found footage was, it's easy to forget, a pretty major revolution in popular cinema. With roots dating back to "Cannibal Holocaust" in 1980, the form went mainstream with "The Blair Witch Project" in 1999. The film became an unexpectedly huge hit with its low-tech approach and ultra-tiny budget, and the subgenre absolutely exploded in the 2000s. This was, in part, because the movies could be made very cheaply and, secondly, because audiences were eating this stuff up. "Paranormal Activity" still ranks as the most profitable film of all time. The found footage boom was a huge, huge deal.
But, nearly a decade into the craze, the time for reinvention was upon us. Using the low-budget, supernatural horror approach can only take one so far.

Dr. Sam Griffith (Sophia Bush) faces a challenge in the March 30 episode of Good Sam as a devastating storm hits and the hospital staff must improvise in TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek. “Governor just declared a state of emergency,” Dr. Caleb Tucker (Michael Stahl-David) reports. “They’re closing the roads.” So how will the on-call doctors get to the hospital? He suggests sending the ambulances, but as Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Jason Isaacs) points out, they’re “going to be a little busy right now.” The doctors realize the only people who will be coming in are more patients. Ramona Diaconescu/CBS And there’s another problem: With so many trauma cases, they will run short on blood. “Can we call the Red Cross?” Sam suggests, but her father points out they, too, will be facing shortages.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Good Sam series premiere.] If you’ve been looking for something to fill the House-sized hole in your heart, CBS’ new medical drama Good Sam should do the trick. When we meet Dr. Sam Griffith (Sophia Bush), she’s convincing a patient that he’s in good hands with Dr. Rob. “Griff” Griffith (Jason Isaacs), “the best” cardiothoracic surgeon, in her opinion. “I know that you are scared. I was, too,” she says. She had heart surgery a long time ago. When the team gathers in the scrub room, Sam’s sure to tell everyone they all have strengths, only for Griff to walk in and disagree. He sees a lot of weaknesses: “pathologically arrogant” (Michael Stahl-David’s Dr. Caleb Tucker), “profoundly insecure” (Omar Maskati’s Dr. Isan M. Shah), “emotionally unpredictable” (Skye P. Marshall’s Dr. Lex Trulie), and “exceptionally vain” (Davi Santos’ Dr. Joey Costa). And as the cardiac fellow,...

‘Good Sam’ Pits Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs Against Each Other in Battle of Surgeon Egos: TV Review
At the very least, Katie Wech’s “Good Sam” knows what you might be thinking when you hear it’s a show featuring a chronically cocky doctor with no respect for authority outside his own. Even after spending six months in a coma, Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffiths (Jason Isaacs) takes over a crucial diagnostic brainstorm session to suggest that their mystery patient is suffering from … lupus. For anyone even glancingly familiar with the long-running Fox drama “House,” which starred Hugh Laurie as a chronically cocky doctor whose favorite past time was rejecting lupus diagnoses, it does feel like a wink to the TV doctor who most clearly paved the way for Isaac’s Griff. The “Good Sam” twist on the classic doctor procedural recipe, though, is that Griff’s surgeon daughter (Sophia Bush) took over his post of chief while he was unconscious, and now that he’s back, the...

CBS has finally dropped the official trailer for Good Sam, its latest medical drama.
The show finds Dr. Sam Griffith (Sophia Bush) taking on the role of Chief of Surgery when her father, Dr. Rob Griffith (Jason Isaacs), falls into a coma.
The drama picks up when Rob wakes up months later intending to resume his career where he left off.
“Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert with a scalpel who never acknowledged her stellar talent,” reads the official logline for the project.
Sam's father "defies Sam’s authority and challenges her medical expertise, the big question becomes whether this father and daughter will ever be able to mend their own relationship as expertly as they heal the hearts of their patients.”
It is a compelling hook, but the success will all come down to whether the show manages to portray the fraught relationship between the father and daughter well.
