Paul Thomas Anderson to Fast Track INHERENT VICE with Joaquin Phoenix

Paul Thomas Anderson to Fast Track INHERENT VICE with Joaquin Phoenix

  Paul Thomas Anderson, or PTA, has long been known as a slow director. Like fellow auteurs Quentin Tarantino and Wes Anderson, he writes and directs his films so they’re usually long in the pipes and take a high level of meticulous planning. Frequent Anderson collaborator and producer JoAnne Sellar confirmed that PTA’s next film,...

ENTOURAGE Confirmed for Movie Treatment

ENTOURAGE Confirmed for Movie Treatment

HBO‘s Entourage ended its small screen run back in 2011 with a cliffhanger of a series finale. There had been speculation from the get-go of a movie in the pipes but no immediate plans for a follow-up film. That all changed today though as Warner Brothers has given the movie adaptation of the popular television...

EVIL DEAD Makes Cuts to Go from NC-17 to R-Rating

EVIL DEAD Makes Cuts to Go from NC-17 to R-Rating

      The notorious NC-17 is both alluring and repelling, the rating alone stands as a statement and a double-dog-dare. While some of our jaded generation may see a film just to see what exactly made it so explicit, most won’t even be able to see it because the bottom line is many theaters...

Hypnotic Trailer and Poster for Danny Boyle's TRANCE

Hypnotic Trailer and Poster for Danny Boyle's TRANCE

  Set under the banner of Fox Searchlight, Danny Boyle‘s Trance offers an hypnotic view of gangs consorting within the art thievery realm. Boyle has a great eye for color and camera composition and, in my opinion, is one of the greatest working directors out there, making anything he does something worth anticipating. Some of...

Love In Zero Gravity: Trailer for UPSIDE DOWN

Love In Zero Gravity: Trailer for UPSIDE DOWN

“Once love was stronger than gravity” says Jim Sturgess in the closing moments of this physics defying trailer for Upside Down. A sappy sentiment, yes but I’ll admit that the trailer played on both the heart strings and the ‘how’d they do that?’ sensibilities. What seems to play out in this two and a half...

Trailer for Coen Brother's INSIDE LLEWYN DAVID

  Back at the beginning of the month when I was drafting my 40 most anticipated films of 2013, I plopped the Coen Bro‘s Inside Llewyn Davis at a lofty tenth place. This had nothing to do with the synopsis or the talent in front of the camera. No, all my expectations arose from the...
