The Notable Films of 2010: Part Seven
29 December 2009 7:16 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Naomi Watts, Annette Bening, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington
Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Summary: A tale of a mother and daughter, separated at birth, who struggle with the damage done by the most important person missing in their lives while a young African-Americn woman deals with an unwanted pregnancy and the adoption process.
Analysis: Scoring rave reviews in Toronto, the $7 million latest effort of Rodrigo Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her") once again shows off his skill at weaving multiple narratives together in clever and unexpected ways. At its heart it's an emotional family drama, but Garcia excels with his female characters which makes the involvement of Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington and especially Annette Benning thrilling.
The few criticisms levelled at the film were toward some pacing and credibility issues in the last act, but otherwise praised it for not »

Killer from Wes Craven's 'My Soul to Take' Revealed
20 December 2009 10:09 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
B-d reader Joey M. pointed us over to New York stuntman Manny Siverio's MySpace page where he posted a spoilerific image from behind-the-scenes of Wes Craven's My Soul To Take (formerly 25/8) that features your first look at the killer. Those following Craven on Twitter were treated to updates leading up to the completion of the film, which Rogue will hopefully release in 2010. As legend has it, a notorious serial slayer will return to the sleepy community of Riverdale to finish off the seven children born on the night he purportedly died. But is the slayer really dead, or is he still at large? Or has the mysterious evil personality that once impelled his bloody spree entered the body of an unwary teen, who will now be compelled to do his evil bidding? Max Theirot, Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps, Emily Meade star. »
First Look at the Killer from My Soul To Take
20 December 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Shock reader Joey pointed us over to the MySpace page for New York based stuntman Manny Siverio who worked on Wes Craven's latest feature film My Soul To Take , formally known as 25/8 . In his photo album, there's a pic of Siverio with the killer from My Soul To Take , our first glimpse at the film's villain besides the details that Craven dropped at this previous news post here . Max Thierot, Denzel Whitaker and Shareeka Epps star in what is Craven's first film that he has written and directed since New Nightmare in the '90s. Thierot plays "Bug," a young man who is possibly being terrorized by his serial killer father sixteen years after his supposed death. We're expecting a trailer from Rogue Pictures shortly! »
'Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans': Drug Bust, By Kurt Loder
20 November 2009 7:46 AM, PST | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
Nicolas Cage is ill-served by this very silly movie.

Do fish have dreams? Do they dream of ominous iguanas, perhaps? Or maybe the disembodied breakdancing souls of freshly capped gangsters? More to the point, will Nicolas Cage ever make another movie that makes sense? Judging by his new one, "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," and considering his current financial straits, the prospects seem dim.
The director — the esteemed Werner Herzog, stupefyingly enough — claims never to have seen Abel Ferrara's original 1992 "Bad Lieutenant," and I think we can take him at his word. The Ferrara movie, which I'd recommend seeing before — or better yet instead of — this one, concerns a viciously bent New York City cop; and Harvey Keitel, in the title role, is the embodiment of rank, skeezy corruption. In Herzog's take on the story, »

Bad Lieutenant Clip: Nic Cage Show his Castle to Eva Mendes
24 October 2009 8:34 AM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Nic Cage acting all hopped up on drugs and stuttering his way through a story about pirate treasure and a missing spoon while showing off his shack/childhood castle? Nic Cage does that in his sleep, buddy, and he does it here, in this clip from Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans”. The loony crime/drama co-stars Cage, Mendes, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Brad Dourif, Michael Shannon, Shawn Hatosy, Xzibit, Denzel Whitaker, Shea Whigham, Irma P. Hall, and probably won’t be entertaining you in a theater near you anytime soon. Unfortunately for Kilmer, this looks like it’ll hit a couple of theaters in limited release before going directly to DVD and cable; but then again, Kilmer is probably used to that. Via Apple. »

Wes Craven's "25/8" Gets a New Title
20 October 2009 3:57 PM, PDT | www.ohmygore.com/ | See recent OhMyGore news »
When Wes Craven's latest fright flick arrives in theaters in 2010, it won't be called "25/8", a moniker it has held since the director began production. Instead, it is now entitled "My Soul To Take". Craven broke the news via his Twitter account this morning. ShockTillYouDrop.com says that while the title was once apropos for the film, the term "25/8" is no longer used in the story so it wouldn't really make sense to call it that. Craven adds "25/8" has always been a working title. Max Thierot, Denzel Whitaker and Shareeka Epps star in what is Craven's first film that he has written and directed since "New Nightmare" in the '90s. Thierot plays "Bug," a young man who is possibly being terrorized by his serial killer father sixteen years after his supposed death. »
Wes Craven's '25/8' changes title
19 October 2009 10:59 PM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Wes Craven has a new film coming out soon, and it was originally titled "25/8." According to ShockTillYouDrop, however, that title does no longer exist. The film is now called "My Soul to Take."
To tell you the truth, I preferred "25/8," but who cares anyway. Craven's last feature directorial effort was 2005's "Red Eye," and it's about time he returns to the big screen. I'm ready...
Anyway, he announced the title change via Twitter. According to IMDb, the film follows a serial killer returning to his hometown to stalk seven children who share the same birthday as the date he was allegedly put to rest.
"Soul" stars Max Thieriot, Denzel Whitaker, Zena Grey, Nick Lashaway and Frank Grillo. Recent Craven films also include "Cursed." He will also be working on the upcoming "Scream 4." »

Wes Craven’s 25/8 Becomes My Soul To Take
19 October 2009 4:56 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
It took a while, but Wes Craven eventually realized that an extra hour added to each day doesn’t mathematically warrant an eighth day of the week, and has therefore opted to change the title of his latest film from “25/8″ to “My Soul to Take.” When you say the two together it sounds like a made-up verse for the Freddie Krueger song by a child who hasn’t learned to count yet. In any case, click the jump to hear more about the first written by/directed by film from Craven since 1994’s “New Nightmare.”
As reported by Shock Till You Drop, Wes Craven broke the news of the title change on his Twitter page, where he mentions that “25/8″ was always just a working title for the film. It stars Max Thierot, Denzel Whitaker, and Shareeka Epps with Thierot as the lead character who is possibly being stalked by his »

Writer/director Wes Craven announced today on his Twitter page that 25/8 has officially been retitled to My Soul To Take. Now when anybody Google searches about Craven's new movie, they'll get information on the Devil. Kinda funny? In the sleepy town of Riverton, legend tells of a serial killer who swore he would return to murder the seven children born the night he died. Now, 16 years later, people are disappearing again. Has the psycopath been reincarnated as one of the seven, or did he survive the night he was left for dead? Max Theirot, Denzel Whitaker, Shareeka Epps and Emily Meade all star. »

Trailer: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans
9 October 2009 8:07 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Yahoo have debuted the first trailer from Nicholas Cage’s new movie, ‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’. The movie also stars Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Fairuza Balk, Jennifer Coolidge, Vondie Curtis Hall, Shawn Hatosy, Denzel Whitaker, Xzibit, Shea Wigham, Katie Chonacas, Brad Dourif and is a remake of Abel Ferrara’s ‘Bad Lieutenant’ made in 1992 which starred Harvey Keitel.
The name makes it sound terrible although the images I posted previously and this new trailer actually make it look pretty good. The problems may come with the fact that it has Mr. Nicolas ‘hit and miss’ Cage in it and we could be in for a bumpy ride!
‘Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans’ has no UK release date as yet.

Two New “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans” Posters
28 September 2009 1:07 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Below we have two new posters for Werner Herzog’s film “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” remake of sorts of Abel Ferrara’s infamous 1992 film, which originally starred Harvey Keitel.
Nicolas Cage plays a rogue detective who is as devoted to his job as he is at scoring drugs — while playing fast and loose with the law. He wields his badge as often as he wields his gun in order to get his way. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina he becomes a high-functioning addict who is a deeply intuitive, fearless detective reigning over the beautiful ruins of New Orleans with authority and abandon. Complicating his tumultuous life is the prostitute he loves (Eva Mendes). Together they descend into their own world marked by desire, compulsion, and conscience. The result is a singular masterpiece of filmmaking: equally sad and manically humorous.
The film also stars Val Kilmer as the cop’s partner, »

Photo: Warner Bros. Warner Bros. sent over four new character posters for Where the Wild Things Are. You can check out the small versions above or click here to view the larger versions in the gallery. I'm sure most of you read the comments Megan Fox made about her Transformers director, Michael Bay, comparing him to Hitler. Well, some of Bay's crew members sent in a letter to the director's official site, which was reprinted, leading me to believe he has given the comments a thumbs up. Here's a snippet: We've had the tedious experience of working with the dumb-as-a-rock Megan Fox on both Transformers movies," the letter says early on. [Note: the grammar ansd phraseology are weak so I've cleaned up certain portions.] "We [work] in different departments, and can't give our names because sadly doing so in Hollywood could lead to being banished from future Paramount work.
