VENOM - Official Trailer - At Cinemas October 5


We are #VENOM. 05.10.18

Venom is an upcoming American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is intended to be the first film in Sony's Marvel Universe, adjunct to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).

The film is directed by Ruben Fleischer from a screenplay by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, Kelly Marcel, and Will Beall, and stars Tom Hardy as Eddie Brock / Venom, alongside Michelle Williams, Riz Ahmed, Scott Haze, and Reid Scott.

Development of a Venom film, a spin-off from the Spider-Man film franchise, first began with producer Avi Arad in 2007. After various iterations, work on a new version began in March 2017 to start a new shared universe featuring the Marvel characters to which Sony possessed the film rights, though Sony also intends for the film to share the world of Spider-Man: Homecoming, which is set in the MCU after a deal between Sony and Marvel Studios. Rosenberg and Pinkner were set to write, with Fleischer and Hardy added in May 2017. Principal photography began in October 2017, taking place in Atlanta, New York City, and San Francisco.

Venom is set to be released in the United States on October 5, 2018.

Having watched the film, Sarah Waters commented:
"The moment THE LITTLE STRANGER finished, I wanted to watch it again. The product of a perfect combination of things - genius direction, a great script, masterly acting, lush cinematography - it's a complex, poignant, terrifically unsettling film. I couldn't wish for a better adaptation of the novel."

During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked.  The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries.  But it is now in decline and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life.  When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how disturbingly, the family's story is about to become entwined with his own.

UK’s Ghostbusters documentary filmmakers take control and announce a ‘sequel’ documentary dedicated to Ghostbusters II.

Anthony Bueno and Claire Bueno, producers of much anticipated CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN: Remembering Ghostbusters, are excited to announce that they are close to completing a companion dedicated to Ghostbusters II under the title TOO HOT TO HANDLE: Remembering Ghostbusters II.


The original intention of the filmmakers was to dedicate a documentary to both Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II collectively. However, as they delved deeper into the post-production process and assembled the interviews along with a wealth of archive material, it became evident that each film warranted a documentary in its own right.


 The decision has been made that CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN: Remembering Ghostbusters will be solely on Ghostbusters, and TOO HOT TO HANDLE: Remembering Ghostbusters II will be solely on the 1989 sequel.  Both will be feature length documentaries.


"This is a very exciting time for us", says director Anthony Bueno, "After puzzling over how we were going to approach splitting the two films in the edit of CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN, especially when we knew how long the part on Ghostbusters needed to be, splitting them became an easy choice. Then we just thought we'd call it CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN: PART 2, but that didn't seem right, or accurately say what the documentary would be about. So after going through ideas and only knowing we didn't want "Slime" in the title, as soon as we said TOO HOT TO HANDLE: Remembering Ghostbusters II, it felt right!"


Work has already commenced on Too Hot To Handle: Remembering Ghostbusters II and is in the early stages of the edit. The many interviews with cast and crew include Dan Ackroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Ivan Reitman, Ernie Hudson, as well as Industry Light and Magic's  Dennis Muren and Ned Gorman.


Following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign to help fund the completion of the project, CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN: Remembering Ghostbusters is near to reaching picture lock. The edit and motion graphics are complete, leaving only the sound design, score and audio to be mastered.


The producers also want to take this opportunity to confirm that everyone who donated to the Kickstarter and the PayPal crowdfunder will have their names credited on both films.


Producer Claire Bueno stated: "We are very much aware that there is just as much love for the sequel as for the original film, and we are in no doubt that a vast amount of people contributed because they wish to see respect paid to Ghostbusters II. Having informed people we would be covering both films, it is crucial we honour this by ensuring people are credited accordingly on both docs."


The producers are currently in talks regarding the distribution of CLEANIN' UP THE TOWN: Remembering Ghostbusters and hope to make an announcement very soon in preparations for the 35th anniversary celebrations of the original Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II's 30th anniversary in 2019.

Interview with writer-director Royce Gorsuch


The idea for the new sci-fi movie Mad Genius (out July 3) came from writer-director Royce Gorsuch’s fascination with the human brain.


What inspired this rather unique – and very fun - particular story, Royce?

The idea for Mad Genius was inspired from a series of articles and books I had been reading around 2012, concerning the real-life efforts of scientists to digitally map the human brain…
I’ve always had a fixation with the power of technology and it’s implications on the human condition. The main trait separating humankind from the animal kingdom is our ability to create tools. And in a very short time span, since the dawn of the computer, our tools have become exponentially powerful, and soon, self-enhancing, and self-evolving.

As I read the articles, I immediately started thinking, “What if you could rewrite the human brain like computer code, and fix all of the human problems happening around the world…” Then, being a storyteller, I thought… “What if that power was in the hands of a mad man?”

My goal with the film was to make an entertaining commentary on “playing god,” and the moral dilemmas of being a creator of any kind.

Did you sit down and watch similar movies before shooting? If so, which ones?

Certainly. I had a cadre of films in the back of my mind during the entire process of creating Mad Genius. Most notably of course, Fight Club, The Matrix, and psychological thrillers of all kinds, but the one that might surprise you most is reverence to the fantastic banter and buddy story of Swingers.
I’d say the biggest influence on Mad Genius was the ground-breaking cyberpunk novel by William Gibson, Neuromancer.

(NOTE: Ironically, Mr. Robot came out during our pre-production, solidifying my thesis that this type of story was missing from the marketplace. And I’m a fan.)


In terms of directing choices, anyone you emulated here?

Emulation is a funny subject, because, as I think about it, I’d say, “Yes, I want to be like this filmmaker or that one,” but at the end of the day, the film is an amalgamation of  all films I’ve seen through the Mad Genius team’s lens.


Do you write with certain actors in mind?

Instead of casting a particular person in my mind’s eye during the scripting of Mad Genius, I rather saw original “personas.” I always imagined Mad Genius as a sort of cult graphic novel, coming to life from the bottom of the shelf. The characters were more caricatures or archetypes than based on anything real I’ve seen. Each character represents a different aspect of the human psyche in a grungy cyberpunk uniform.


Anyone you wanted to get for the movie that didn’t

No. The cast I had the chance to work with was incredible.


Where did you discover Chris Mason?

Chris Mason came from our fantastic casting director Tineka Becker, who sat me down before a live audition series, and showed me a self-tape from this British guy who had these “burning eyes.” He immediately struck me. He had that “movie star presence”  and that internal intensity that you can’t quite define, but you know it when you see it. He’s actually a quite a bit more handsome than I initially envisioned for the character, but it was his internal presence that locked the choice for me. I could see it through the self-tape. Chris had already accomplished quite a bit in his career, but I knew he would be a star.  Not only that, but Chris is also a disciplined actor, who is literally word perfect on the script when he shows up to set. Now, he’s a lead in two different major television series. I think it’s just the beginning for him.


Do you consider the film a success only when it hits a certain monetary figure?

Hah! Great question. I do in a way, because that means a certain amount of people were inspired to buy or rent the film, which in turn means, we got a nice amount of people to see it. Ultimately, that is any artist’s desire. To have their work seen and experienced. And it is the industry’s need to be profitable, so if I can achieve that, it grants me another selling point on my next project.


Has the movie opened doors for you?

Mad Genius has opened many new doors for me, as well as rekindled or “proved my pudding” to old contacts. Thanks to my fantastic manager Matthew Shichtman at The Gotham Group, I have a half-inch thick stack of business cards from major Hollywood producers who wanted to meet after he showed them the director’s cut. Now it’s up to me to deliver a new script that they can’t say no to.

The Negotiator (2018) - Poster and Trailer


In cinemas and on Digital HD 10th August, 2018

The collateral damage of civil war is all-encompassing and unforgiving; a brutal setting for tense negotiations, especially when the results could have monumental consequences. Jon Hamm (Mad Men, Baby Driver) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, Hostiles) star as CIA agents in the nail-biting intelligent thriller THE NEGOTIATOR, available in cinemas and on digital HD from 10th August, courtesy of Signature Entertainment.

In 1972, former US diplomat, Mason Skiles (Jon Hamm), was caught up in a terrorist attack that changed his life forever. 10 years later, whilst working as a mediator in Boston, Skiles receives an unwanted invitation to visit Beirut, a territory plagued by war and violence. Quickly dragged back into the system he hastily left, Mason is assigned a mission by CIA Agent Donald Gaines (Dean Norris; Breaking Bad) of negotiating a swap with a terrorist group: a kidnapped American CIA agent for a terrorist leader. Obligated to cooperate, Skiles is assigned a cultural attaché (Rosamund Pike) to help navigate the city. Unravelling clues and uncovering political agendas along the way, the duo discover that relationships between America, Palestine and Israel may be more convoluted, and even more corrupt, than first thought...

From the writer of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and The Bourne Identity, THE NEGOTIATOR is a suspenseful drama that questions government loyalties, how far one person is willing to push themselves in the pursuit of justice and where the moral line in the sand is drawn when faced with the severest of situations. Clandestine operations and a web of intrigue intertwine as Jon Hamm delivers his “best work yet” (Deadline).

With a stellar cast, a two-time Academy Award® nominated writer and a plot that will put you on the edge of your seat, THE NEGOTIATOR is sure to be an “Instant Classic” (Empire).

When it came to entertainment viewing preferences, there were clear winners. Overall, Subscription Streaming Platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime took 53% of the audience, compared to TV On Demand on 27% and Live TV, which has slumped to 14%. When comparing the Streaming Platforms themselves, it's unsurprising to see that Netflix took their lion's share of the audience, taking 73%, compared to Amazon's 13% and Now TV's 4%.




The survey was taken through Pop-culture marketing agency Experience12, who also were responsible for several exhibitions on the day including Warner Bros. and Amazon Prime Video. Chris Whittle, Experience12 founder and Managing Director said: "As a pop culture agency we are always looking for new ways to understand our audience so asking the true fans at London's MCM Comic Con is a no brainer. Some of the findings simply reaffirm what we already knew,, but having undertaken research at Comic Con for two years now, we're starting to see some really interesting and unexpected trends developing which we'll be sharing soon."


Fans who attended May's Comic Con were treated to a number of fan favourites and cult hero's including Black Panther and Avengers: Infinity War's Letitia Wright, DeadpooI's Brianna Hildebrand and Stefan Kapičić (Negasonic Teenage Warhead and Colossus) as well asLucifer's Tom Ellis Lucifer andRosario Dawson from Marvel's Daredevil andThe Defenders.

Competition: Win Xtro: Limited Edition on Blu-Ray


Xtro: Limited Edition is out on Blu-ray on 2nd July 2018. And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and 2 copies on Blu-ray to give away.


Synopsis
Part E.T., part Alien, British horror classic Xtro is one of the strangest, most shocking exploitation flicks to land on earth during the video nasty heyday. A film that narrowly avoided inclusion and prosecution on the original nasties list, threw in buckets of blood and gore and some of the most outlandish plot twists of the VHS era to create a truly memorable horror classic. Now it makes its arrival for the first time on Blu-ray courtesy of Second Sight Films as Xtro: Limited Edition Box Set.

Loved by horror fans, reviled by highbrow critics on its original release and one of the most notorious homegrown films of its time, Xtro lands on 18 June 2018 in a newly restored version complete with a raft of new extras, including an hour-long documentary charting the film’s history and its impact, alongside its original alternate ending too, full info attached.

Father Sam Phillips is playing with his family in the back garden of his idyllic English home when a bright light appears and seemingly abducts him. Three years later, the light returns and dumps a half human half alien creature. After slaughtering a couple who inadvertently stumble on it in a country road, the creature impregnates a woman who gives birth – in one of cinemas most outrageous scenes – to a fully formed Sam. He heads to London, seeking out his family and developing a strange bond with his son. And then things start to get really weird…

Can you stomach Xtro?

After the demise of the Jurassic World theme park on Isla Nublar off Central America's pacific coast, the dinosaurs roam freely on the island for four years until an impending volcanic eruption threatens to destroy the island and the dinosaurs. Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard), the former park manager, has now founded the Dinosaur Protection Group, an organization dedicated to saving the dinosaurs.

Claire teams up with Benjamin Lockwood (James Cromwell), the former partner of John Hammond, to launch a dinosaur rescue mission and bring the creatures to safety in a sanctuary that Lockwood has created in America. Claire also convinces her boyfriend Owen Grady (Chris Pratt), a former dinosaur trainer who worked at the park, to join her mission so he can locate Blue, the last remaining of the four Velociraptor that he trained. After Isla Nublar is destroyed by the volcano, the dinosaurs are brought to Lockwood's large estate, in America. At the estate, Owen and Claire realize that the dinosaurs are being auctioned rather than saved. An extremely dangerous hybrid dinosaur known as the Indoraptor escapes and terrorizes people at the estate.
