‘Kiss Of The Damned’ Red-Band Trailer: Life As A Vampire Means Trouble Every Day By Russ Fischer/Feb. 21, 2013 8:00 am EST It had never occurred to me that someone might make a film that effectively served as the midpoint between Twilight and the art-house “vampire” weirdness of Trouble Every Day. But here we have a bloody, vaguely sexual red-band trailer for Kiss of the Damned, and the film from Xan Cassavetes plays almost exactly like that....

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Adds New Voices In Johnny Knoxville And Tony Shalhoub By Germain Lussier/April 3, 2014 10:52 am EST The actors who play the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Jonathan Liebesman’s new film won’t, necessarily, lend the voices to those famous turtles. Case in point, Johnny Knoxville (Jackass) has been added to voice group leader Leonardo and Tony Shalhoub (Monk) will voice master Splinter. During filming, Pete Ploszek and Danny Woodburn played the respective roles in performance capture but, apparently, their deals never guaranteed they’d provide the voices....

She gives up the rights to her name, image, and voice, and in return is given some measure of security for her family. The film tells this story through an unusual framework in which the transforming “reality” of Robin’s life — and the ways in which it is sold to an audience — is eventually envisioned through wildly imaginative animation....

Acme Archives To Release Alex Ross ‘Planet Of The Apes’ Posters At Comic-Con By Germain Lussier/July 21, 2014 11:30 am EST If Matt Reeves has done his job right with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and we think he has, the film will drive people back to the original series. Viewers should be so curious about what comes next that the new film will turn people on to not only the 1968 original, but its sequels as well....

Dutch Film ‘App’ Will Provide Parallel Storyline For Audiences Using Smartphones In Theater By Russ Fischer/Nov. 16, 2012 1:04 pm EST Back in 2006, Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales was positioned by the director as perhaps the first of a wave of movies that could be improved by watching with access to external info sources. The ideal way to make sense of that messy, troubled movie is to have the connected graphic novels and related website handy, and to cross-reference between them as the film runs....

By Angie Han/Feb. 5, 2013 9:45 am EST Pretty much everyone involved with screenwriter Lucy Alibar’s first film, Beasts of the Southern Wild, was a virtual or total unknown. That won’t be the case for her next project, however. Alibar is set to team with Guillermo del Toro on The Secret Garden, Universal’s adaptation of the classic Frances Hodgson Burnett novel. While the pair are coming from different levels of the Hollywood hierarchy, they should make for a good match....
