Cinetalk

It was one of the most bizarre clips we had that chance of seeing at Movie Con, and had it not been for my attendance to the event, I never would have heard of the film, but I am more than happy that I did.

Last night I got to experience a viewing of Panique au village, a 75 minute insane, Belgian, stop motion animated film from writer / directors Stéphane…

Reports are comming from Collider that Guillermo del-Toro wants Tom Cruise to lead his HP Lovecraft adaptation of AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, but it seems that Universal want James McAvoy.
The story is written in first-person perspective by the geologist William Dyer, a professor from Miskatonic University. He writes to disclose hitherto unknown and closely kept secrets in the hope that he can deter a planned and much publicized scientific…

Zack Snyder has proven that he has vision. His films are filled with his auteurist style, but are held back by source material. Now Snyder has got free reign and can bring whatever he likes to the screen.

What you see above is a dogfight. A dogfight between a dragon and an aeroplane. Its just one more notch to add to my antincipationmetre for this film. Sure, its all very cliché…

Do you recall hearing about all those odd Joaquin Pheonix stories over the past year or so? You know the ones,  the bizarre appearance on Letterman last year.  The news that he was quitting acting to become a hip-hop star.  THAT beard.

Well you may also recall that his every move was being recorded by his brother in law, Casey Affleck (Gone Baby Gone) for a documentary.

That film is called Joaquin Pheonix:…

Trying to climb the corporate ladder, Tim Wagner (Paul Rudd) agrees (reluctantly) to attend his bosses regular “bring anidiot to lunch” dinner – a so called Dinner For Shmucks if you will.  Naturally he quite literally bumps in Steve Carrell’s Barry – an IRS agent who also specialises in mouse taxidermy (no, really he does) who fills the Shmuck part of the team rather nicely.

The outcome is predictable throughout, from Tim’s…

Cinetalk were at the Red Carpet for the world premiere of Drew Barrymore's new romantic comedy, GOING THE DISTANCE.

It's been a while since you've been able to rock up to the box office at your local cinema and request a ticket or two to the new John Carpenter flick. 9 years in fact have come and gone since you were able to see Ghosts of Mars, if any of you did in fact see it in the cinema in November of 2001. Of course Carpenter did Masters of…

Werner Herzog (one of my favourite directors of all time) is a very busy man. His 3D documentary THE CAVE OF FORGOTTEN DREAMS will screen for the first time at TIFF and MY SON, MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE will hit DVD in a few weeks so Herzog is doing the rounds with that film and will surely carry on travelling and talking up a storm about THE CAVE.

Whilst…

It has been confirmed that Guillermo del toro will be on-board, producing Jovanka Vuckovic's THE CAPTURED BIRD. Vuckovic was the former Rue Morgue magazine Editor-In-Chief and now is helming her first short movie, one that she will also chronicle online for everyone to see, including videos, blogs and pictures.

From the films' official website:
The Captured Bird is a darkly poetic fable that begins with a little girl drawing figures of people…

Joss Whedon is an incredible writer. Not only that, he has a gift for writing particularly strong female characters. If you have ever seen the video of Joss' Equlity Now speech, you get something of an insight to why Joss writes the women he writes. (Skip to about 3 minutes in).

Anyway, so, whilst speaking to the The Sunday Herald-Sun Joss managed to drop a few hints at what we might…
