Given that the Sundance Film Festival consists of literally hundreds of screenings, it's an inevitability that something will go wrong at some of them. On Friday night, the world premiere of Cate Shortland's Berlin Syndrome was hit with spectacularly bad luck when the DCP projection froze roughly 5 or 10 minutes before the ending, leaving star Teresa…

Briefly: John Hillcoat (Lawless, The Proposition) can dredge whatever material he wants up out of the depths of his mind and it probably won't generate the ridiculous controversy set in motion by his thoroughly non-controversial Super Bowl Coke ad. So the film Triple Nine, about "a group of crooked cops who plan to kill one of their…

Most of us know Simon Pegg as a goofball. Even when he's being serious and kicking ass, he still has incredible comic timing. His latest role, though, sounds like it'll go against that. He's headlining an ensemble cast in the Australian crime drama Kill Me Three Times, directed by Kriv Stenders and written by James McFarland. Pegg…

The next Blue Tongue film audiences will see in North America is Wish You Were…

Nash Edgerton has made his mark as a stuntman (the Matrix films and Star Wars prequels) and actor (Zero Dark Thirty) but it's his work as a director that we want to focus on today. Edgerton's short Spider is a wicked, wonderful little thing, and his thriller feature The Square got my attention as a…

It's no coincidence that the official website for author Isaac Marion includes glowing blurbs from both Stephenie Meyer and Simon Pegg. Marion's novel Warm Bodies, and Jonathan Levine's film adaptation of same, owes as much to Twilight as it does Shaun of the Dead. It attempts to infuse some self-aware humor into a tale of star-crossed…

There's a short new trailer for Warm Bodies, the zombie romantic comedy from director Jonathan Levine (50/50, The Wackness), starring Nicholas Hoult as a zombie who falls for a human girl (Teresa Palmer). It's the classic wrong side of the tracks romantic setup, complete with the girl's father (John Malkovich) being a guy who is…

As a genre, the zombie film is pretty thoroughly mined at this point. There has even been a zombie romantic comedy (or zom-rom-com) that made a few fans. You've probably seen Shaun of the Dead four or five times by now. But Warm Bodies, from director Jonathan Levine (50/50, The Wackness, All the Boys Love…

We know that Chris Evans is returning for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but there has been a big question mark over the identity of his primary female co-star. Hayley Atwell was well-liked as Peggy Carter in Captain America: The First Avenger, but that film's final jump forward in time makes the character not viable…

Australian filmmaking collective Blue-Tongue Films has been around for years, but it wasn't until last year's acclaimed Animal Kingdom that the group really captured worldwide attention.

It's not a stretch, I think, to call this the 'fan-favorite actors' edition of casting bits. Kyle Chandler, Alexander Skarsgård and Rob Corddry all fall into that catergory, I'd say. So after the break, you'll find: Kyle Chandler joins Ben Affleck's Argo, Rob Corddry looks set for zombification in Warm Bodies, and Michael Nyqvist &…

Oliver Stone's adaptation of the novel Savages, in which two pot-dealing friends are roped into working for the drug cartel that kidnaps their young female companion, is becoming a hot property.
