Synopsis
The future America is an irradiated wasteland. On its East Coast, running from Boston to Washington, DC, lies Mega City One- a vast, violent metropolis where criminals rule the chaotic streets. The only force of order lies with the urban cops called “Judges” who possess the combined powers of judge, jury, and instant executioner. Known and feared throughout the city, Dredd (Karl Urban) is the ultimate Judge, challenged with ridding the city of its latest scourge – a dangerous drug epidemic that has users of “Slo-Mo” experiencing reality at a fraction of its normal speed.

During a routine day on the job, Dredd is assigned to train and evaluate Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), a rookie with powerful psychic abilities thanks to a genetic mutation. A heinous crime calls them to a neighborhood where fellow Judges rarely dare to venture: a 200-story vertical slum controlled by prostitute turned drug lord Ma-Ma (Lena Headey) and her ruthless clan. When they capture one of the clan’s inner circle, Ma-Ma overtakes the compound’s control center and wages a dirty, vicious war against the Judges that proves she will stop at nothing to protect her empire. With the body count climbing and no way out, Dredd and Anderson must confront the odds and engage in the relentless battle for their survival.

The endlessly inventive mind of writer Alex Garland and director Pete Travis bring Dredd to life as a futuristic neo-noir action film. Filmed in 3D with stunning slow-motion photography sequences, the film returns the celebrated character to the dark, visceral incarnation from John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra's revered comic strip.

Magnet Attracts Here Comes the Devil

$

A bit of cool distribution news has come out of Fantastic Fest as Magnet Releasing has snapped up North American rights to Adrian Garcia Bogliano’s Here Comes the Devil (review). Read on for details.

From the Press Release
The Wagner/Cuban Company’s Magnet Releasing announced last night at Fantastic Fest – as part of the film's introduction at the US premiere -- that it has acquired North American rights to Adrian Garcia Bogliano’s HERE COMES THE DEVIL. The announcement was made to an excited crowd at the 11:20 pm screening at the Alamo South Lamar. Director Bogliano, producer Andrea Quiroz Hernandez, and stars Francisco Barreiro and Lura Caro were on hand as the announcement was made by Fantastic Fest lead programmer Rodney Perkins. Tim League marked the occasion by having Bogliano saber a bottle of champagne as flutes of champagne were served to the audience as part of a mass toast.

Already lauded by the crowd who loved its spirit, scares, and sensibility at the Toronto International Film Festival, HERE COMES THE DEVIL combines modern indie filmmaking and storytelling with a hint of ‘70s-styled psychological horror that may not just be psychological. Barreiro and Caro are parents whose preteen son and daughter inexplicably reappear after being lost overnight on a desolate, cave-riddled mountainside after a casual hike became every parent’s nightmare. The good luck and good fortune of their return soon changes, as the children’s behavior suggests ominous and unspeakable events the night the children were lost that continue even now. As a loving couple – and loving parents – try to care for and protect their children, the ancient and half-whispered legends around the caves and the mountain and those who have gone there before become too strange to believe … and too dangerous, no matter how insane, to ignore.

Magnet/Magnolia president Eamonn Bowles said of the acquisition "HERE COMES THE DEVIL is a singular, crazed trip of a movie. We're happy to be in business with Adrian, whose short in ABC'S OF DEATH merely whetted our appetite for this full on dish of creeped-out mayhem."

"I am so honored to be part of the Magnet Releasing family. Their devotion to releasing quality genre films has always impressed me, and I am overjoyed to be working with them on sharing my latest film with North America,” added Bogliano.

Producer Andrea Quiroz Hernandez added to Bogliano’s sentiments by saying, "The fact that Magnet Releasing has taken a chance on such a bold Spanish language film such as ours truly reiterates their commitment to quality avant-garde cinema. We are truly ecstatic to have partnered with them on this venture, and can't wait to see where the film goes."

"Adrian's unique style and voice is the perfect fit for Magnet, as they are remarkably consistent in bringing the best in genre films to fans. We are very pleased to have our original production as the newest addition to their extraordinary release slate." said Greg Newman, EVP of MPI/Dark Sky Films.

Synopsis
On a family vacation, a couple’s son and daughter disappear while exploring a cave-riddled mountainside. The children eventually return home seemingly unharmed, but are withdrawn and devoid of emotion. The parents fear they have fallen prey to something inhuman — and that this dark evil has come home with them.

  • New Vamps Trailer and One-Sheet Lack Bite

    It would be unfair to judge Amy Heckerling's Vamps just yet as we haven't watched it, but after seeing the new one-sheet and this trailer, yeah, we can tell you that the whole affair looks to be very sex and the shitty.

    Anchor Bay Films is sending Vamps out in a limited theatrical release on November 2nd, followed by Blu-ray/DVD on November 13th. Look for the specs to be revealed shortly.

    Written and directed by Amy Heckerling, Vamps is a comedy-fantasy-romance that puts a fresh and hilariously upbeat twist on the vampire genre. The film also stars Dan Stevens (“Downton Abbey”), Richard Lewis (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Justin Kirk (“Weeds”), Kristen Johnston (Bride Wars), Malcolm McDowell (The Artist, A Clockwork Orange), Zak Orth (Romeo + Juliet), and Marilu Henner (Johnny Dangerously). It was produced by Lauren Versel, Molly Hassell, Stuart Cornfeld, and Maria Teresa Arida. Executive Producers include Stanislaw Tyczynski, Julie Kroll, Kamal Nahas, John Jencks, Lisa Wilson, Stephen Hays, and Peter Graham. Vamps was produced by Lucky Monkey Pictures and Red Hour Films.

    Synopsis:
    Starring Alicia Silverstone (Clueless, Batman & Robin), Krysten Ritter (“Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23,” Confessions of a Shopaholic), Wallace Shawn (Toy Story, Princess Bride), and Sigourney Weaver (Aliens, Avatar), the film combines the fun of the classic hit Clueless with the tremendous popularity of vampires.

    Beautiful vampires Goody (Silverstone) and Stacy (Ritter) have been enjoying the good life in New York City. As upstanding, politically correct Extended Life Forms (ELFs), the pair hit a support group, “Sanguines Anonymous,” to help curb the temptation of human blood in between their clubbing and dating schedules. When love steals into each of their lives, the pair’s destiny is set on a new course and they must make a choice that will jeopardize their immortality—and maybe much more.

    Exclusive First Stills - Bad Things Happening Inside The Convent

    Just a few days ago we let you know about the new film from director Mark Murphy. Today we have the first stills for you, both behind-the-scenes and otherwise. Read on for more and to inject a little demonic action into your weekend!

    "Nearly halfway through the shoot, and luckily the only deaths and disasters are all happening on screen," says Murphy. "Today we shoot a key scene which will have people talking for years to come. Feeling like a mole man having spent so much time filming in the crypt, but we're getting gold on a daily basis. Very much looking forward to seeing this on the big screen but will sorely miss working with such an amazing cast and crew; expecting big things from Nicola Posener, Tom Leeper, Charley McDougall, Sabrina Bussandri and Lucy Drive."

    From the Press Release
    Principal photography began recently on British writer/director Mark Murphy’s horror movie debut, The Convent, featuring an up and coming British cast lead by Nicola Posener (Payback Season) and Mark Harris (GBH).

    Produced by Yvette Hoyle, the movie is scheduled to film on location in London for three weeks. The cast also includes Peter Woodward (Fall of the Essex Boys), Natalie Stone (Werewolf in a Woman’s Prison), and Lucy Drive (The Borgias).

    The Convent blends classic supernatural horror with a modern found footage twist. Murphy, whose docu-drama Casanova’s Love Letters starred Patrick Bergin and Armand Assante, commented, "Marrying the found footage genre with a more traditional theatrical style into two inter-lapping stories is one that I am sure audiences will get excited about. When your high concept is Paranormal Activity meets Blair Witch meets The Exorcist, you know the opportunity to tell a great horror yarn is there for the taking."

    Synopsis
    The Convent tells two interconnecting stories played out in parallel, intersecting with each other. The first story follows five twenty-somethings, who, on the hunt for some excitement, break into an abandoned church/convent only to become the victims of the horrors that lurk within. The second story follows the church’s investigation into the tragic "accident" that resulted in the deaths of the group that broke into the church.

    Fantastic Fest 2012: Adrian Garcia Bogliano, Dark Sky, and Zak Zeman Going Through Late Phases

    0

    Late Phases, Dark Sky, Adrian Garcia Bogliano, Zak Zeman, Fantastic Fest 12Some pretty nifty genre news is coming out of the currently happening Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas... a new production deal has just been signed that will no doubt result in plenty of horrors to come. Read on for details.

    From the Press Release
    MPI's Dark Sky Films today announced that it has entered into a co-production agreement with producer Zak Zeman's company Site B to make the genre feature film LATE PHASES, which will be directed by rising star Adrian Garcia Bogliano (Penumbra, Here Comes the Devil). Best known for being the executive producer of the much talked about horror anthology V/H/S, Zeman will now lend his talents to this new production, which will be directed by one of the most creative young voices in filmmaking today. The script is written by Eric Stolze, and shooting is scheduled to start in 2013.

    The deal was negotiated at this year's Fantastic Fest by Zeman, MPI Executive Vice President Greg Newman and Bogliano.

    Late Phases will tell the story of Ambrose McKinley, a blind war veteran, who moves into a community where the residents have been dying in increasing numbers - oddly, all have supposedly been the victims of dog attacks. But after barely surviving his own attack on his first night there, Ambrose discovers that the assailants are not just canines - they are entirely different and far more terrifying.

    Zak Zeman got his start as an executive producer on A Horrible Way to Die. In addition to being part of the producing team for the horror anthology V/H/S, he also produced the action thriller The Aggression Scale, starring Ray Wise and Dana Ashbrook of "Twin Peaks."

    Speaking on Late Phases, Zeman said, "I've always been drawn to the horror genre, and with a great partner like Dark Sky Films, we once again have all the right elements in place to create another successful hit."

    MPI's Greg Newman added, "Adrian's vision has proven to be a repeated success while Zak's creative voice and outstanding work has convinced us that his taste in film development aligns with our own. We're confident that this partnership will make Late Phases another audience favorite."

    Adrian Garcia Bogliano added, "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with two of the most cutting edge producers in film today. Working with MPI on Here Comes the Devil has proven that our chemistry is unparalleled and I can't wait to get started."

    Recent successes from MPI and its Dark Sky Films brand include Here Comes the Devil, Ti West's The Innkeepers, the upcoming Hatchet 3, and the highly anticipated Frankenstein's Army.

    UK Quad for Stitches Features One Bad Clown

    All the way from across the pond comes the UK quad one-sheet for Stitches (review), and we have it here for you free of Kate's nipples and Prince Harry's winkie. Though we tried getting them for you, too, if only for shits and giggles.

    Stitches stars popular British comedian Ross Noble and Tommy Knight of "Doctor Who" and "The Sarah Jane Adventures" and is directed by Conor McMahon (Disturbed, Dead Meat). The film, which is a Dark Sky Films original production in partnership with Fantastic Films and the Irish Film Board, tells the macabre story of Richard "Stitches" Grindle, a jaded workaday kids' birthday clown, whose one-liners are witty in a way that's just not for kids. Stitches falls victim to a fatal party mishap at the hands of a group of particularly nasty children. Years later the group of now teenagers attend a party at which Stitches is the uninvited guest of honor, returning to avenge his untimely death.

    The movie is the latest original production coming from MPI Media Group's Dark Sky Films, whose recent productions include The Innkeepers, Stake Land, Hatchet II, and the upcoming Hatchet 3 and Frankenstein’s Army. Dublin’s Fantastic Films, run by John McDonnell and Brendan McCarthy, has produced many successful genre films, including Hammer Films' Wake Wood and Outcast.

    Synopsis:
    A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.

    The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine, is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter, Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Judy Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday, Youth in Revolt), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde, The Three Musketeers), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (newcomer Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film version of CARRIE earned Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.

    MGM and Screen Gems’ CARRIE is directed by Kim Peirce and produced by Kevin Misher (Public Enemies). J. Miles Dale (The Vow) serves as executive producer, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Big Love) wrote the script from King’s original story. CARRIE’s creative team includes Director of Photography Steve Yedlin (Looper), Production Designer Carol Spier (Eastern Promises), Costume Designer Luis Sequeira (The Thing), and Editor Lee Percy (Boys Don’t Cry).
