She knows the bros’ deepest fears… and she’s taking advantage of those fears to pick them off, one by shirtless one, in increasingly gory ways.

After its premiere at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, the flick Backtrack (review) started generating a pretty solid buzz, and people are taking notice. Speaking of which…

From the Press Release:
Saban Films is in final negotiations on a seven-figure acquisition deal for the U.S. rights to BACKTRACK starring Academy Award® winner Adrien Brody (THE GRAND BUDAPEST HOTEL, THE PIANIST), Sam Neill (JURASSIC PARK, THE VOW), and Robin McLeavy (THE LOVED ONES, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER). Written and directed by Michael Petroni (THE BOOK THIEF, THE RITE), the film had its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 18. This marks Saban’s second Tribeca Film Festival pick up, having purchased the North American distribution rights to Ben Palmer’s romantic comedy MAN UP, starring Lake Bell and Simon Pegg.

In BACKTRACK troubled psychotherapist Peter Bowers (Brody) is suffering from nightmares and eerie visions. When he uncovers the horrifying secret shared by his patients, he is put on a course that takes him back to the remote hometown he fled years ago. There in False Creek he is consumed by solving a decades-old mystery that holds the key to his strange and menacing delusions.

Saban Films President Bill Bromiley said, “BACKTRACK is an unexpected and haunting psychological thriller. Michael Petroni is a great storyteller, and his film was a major standout in the Tribeca Film Festival. This will be a strong addition to the Saban slate.”

BACKTRACK is produced by Jamie Hilton, Antonia Barnard, and Michael Petroni. Executive producers include Compton Ross, Phil Hunt, and David Evans. The film was financed by Screen Australia with Head Gear Films and Metrol Technology in association with Screen NSW and Deluxe Australia.

Last weekend we saw the first teaser promo for BBC America’s new original series “Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell,” based on The New York Times bestselling novel by Susanna Clarke; and now, to kick off your Saturday, we’re back with the full official launch trailer for the show.

The seven-part series kicks off sometime this summer.  It was adapted by Peter Harness (“Wallander,” Is Anybody There?) and stars Olivier Award-winning Bertie Carvel and Eddie Marsan, who take on the magical roles of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, respectively. Other cast members include Alice Englert, Marc Warren, Samuel West, and Charlotte Riley.

The series is directed by Toby Haynes, and the producer is Nick Hirschkorn. It is produced by Cuba Pictures for BBC One and co-produced with BBC America, in association with Feel Films, Far Moor, Screen Yorkshire, and Bell Media’s Space. It will be distributed by Endemol Worldwide Distribution.

Synopsis:
Set at the beginning of the 19th century, England no longer believes in practical magic. The reclusive Mr Norrell (Marsan) of Hurtfew Abbey stuns the city of York when he causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. With a little persuasion and help from his man of business, Childermass (Enzo Cilenti), he goes to London to help the government in the war against Napoleon. It is there Norrell summons a fairy (Warren) to bring Lady Pole (Englert) back from the dead, opening a whole can of worms…

Jonathan Strange (Carvel) is charming, rich, and arrogant. While trying to secure his beloved Arabella’s (Riley) hand in marriage, he meets the magician of Threadneedle Street, Vinculus (Paul Kaye), who tells him he is destined to be a great magician. A shaken and disturbed Strange initially dismisses the claims, but intrigue overcomes; and in an attempt to find his occupation, he tries to practice magic…

Looks like the future of the upcoming Silent Hills might be silent ills. A two-part punch was delivered to fans of the series over the weekend, when first it was announced that the critically acclaimed P.T. (“Playable Trailer”) would be removed on April 29th. With no explanation from Konami other than that the “distribution period of ‘P.T. (Playable Teaser)’ on PlayStation Store will expire,” fans feared the worst.

It seems their fears might be a reality today, as this reported quote from Guillermo del Toro sends cold shivers down fans’ spines:

“It’s not gonna happen and that breaks my greasy little heart.”

The quote comes from Matt Hackney’s Twitter, @tvsmatthackney, who reports that del Toro was responding to a question regarding the future of Silent Hills during a Q&A segment at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Various other sources have since confirmed, with IGN stating that a source close to del Toro confirmed that a collaboration between the acclaimed director and video game guru Hideo Kojima was “not gonna happen.”

This breakdown in development was not entirely unexpected, as fans back in March predicted the game’s cancellation in the wake of Kojima announcing that he would be severing ties with Konami following the release of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. Kojima was supposed to be the creative director of the Silent Hills project with del Toro, so the question of how the game would come to fruition in light of the split was a valid one. Things have been tense between Kojima and Konami for a long time now, as the publisher has been “shifting production structure to a headquarters-controlled system.” This spelled doom for relationships with rockstar developers like Kojima, who is reported to have had several power struggles with the company.

Kojima has stated that he will stay on with the now independent Kojima Digital Entertainment, continuing to support the Metal Gear franchise. As Silent Hill was always a Konami title, it is unlikely that he will work on the project now that he is separated, but that does not entirely spell doom for the future of the series. Last generation saw the release of four Silent Hill games (yes, I am counting both Origins and Shattered Memories), but the quality of these titles did not meet most loyalist’s expectations. What fans were most excited for was a bold new take on the series that P.T. proved the duo could deliver.

With over a million downloads of P.T. as a word of mouth PS4 PSN exclusive, I doubt they will drop the franchise altogether. It is likely that they will refocus their ideas for the franchise, try to muster up some new hype, and deliver a mediocre product in line with what they have done for the better part of a decade. I am actually not one of those haters that trashes on Silent Hill: Homecoming for focusing too much on combat, but even I will admit that there has been a sharp decline in quality since Silent Hill 2. I have liked almost every installment, but P.T. rocked my world in a way that I imagine the original Alien film did to theater audiences, so I am crushed that the project will never see completion.

As a takeaway, even the most promising project can be crushed by internal politics. Keep your eyes out for a new Silent Hill but guard your hearts and fear falling in love again. Oh, and go home and download P.T. before it vanishes on April 29th. Play it, treasure it, and wistfully dream of what might have been.

Synopsis:
While video chatting one night, six high school friends receive a Skype message from a classmate who killed herself exactly one year ago. At first they think it’s a prank, but when the girl starts revealing the friends’ darkest secrets, they realize they are dealing with something from beyond this world, something that wants them dead. Told entirely from a young girl’s computer desktop, Unfriended redefines found footage for a new generation of teens.

Around here we’re just as leery of remakes as anyone else, but… when the right talent is involved, we cannot help but be filled with hearty optimism! The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next) has signed on to direct Death Note, an adaptation of the horror manga being developed at Warner Bros.

Roy Lee, Dan Lin, Jason Hoffs, and Masi Oka are producing the project, which was previously adapted as a movie in its home country of Japan that spawned two sequels.

The story centers on a student who discovers a supernatural notebook that allows him to kill anyone by writing the victim’s name, who then decides to cleanse the world of whom he deems evil. As the student is tracked by a reclusive police officer, a cat-and-mouse game ensues.

Jeremy Slater (Fantastic Four) wrote the more recent draft of the script. Shane Black was previously attached to direct. Doug Davison and Brian Witten are exec producing. Niija Kuykendall and Nik Mavinkurve are overseeing for the studio.
