2012 and how good viral marketing can go bad
13 November 2009 4:10 PM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Disaster movie 2012 inspired panic in the States with Nasa having to reassure Americans that the world wasn't about to end. Is movie viral marketing getting too clever for its own good?
When Columbia Pictures launched a marketing campaign for 2012 – the latest disaster movie from serial Earth molester Roland Emmerich, where the planet, played by America, is set for impending doom – they didn't do it by halves.
First, there was a teaser trailer showing a tsunami crashing over the Himalayas. The Earth was going to end in 2012, it said, and the world's governments aren't doing enough to prepare us. Search "2012", it said, for "the truth" (the "truth" turned out to be over 1,000 real websites and 175 real books obsessed with 2012 as the end of time).
Then, there was a fake website – the "Institute for Human Continuity" – which consisted of a screen stating that for 25 years they'd been assessing threats to the continuation of mankind, »
Review | Running Scared: Claire Denis’s “White Material”
15 September 2009 6:06 AM, PDT | IndieWIRE | See recent indieWIRE news »
At one point in Claire Denis’s ravaging new film, “White Material,” Isabelle Huppert’s Maria, a coffee plantation owner in an African country increasingly torn apart by escalating civil war violence, is driving her grown son, Manuel, on a tractor to bring him medical attention for a minor injury to his foot. Since she has been warned time and again to evacuate for her and her family’s safety, along with the few … »
Josh Hartnett to Star in Post-Apocalyptic Western Gunslinger
14 September 2009 9:40 AM, PDT | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
Would humanity revert to the days of the wild west if the world was suddenly thrust into a post-apocalyptic future? It's certainly an intriguing possibility, and one that could make for a great movie. Post-apocalyptic films have often borrowed elements of westerns in the past, and now director Chris Nahon (Blood: The Last Vampire) will again be fusing the two genres with a film called Gunslinger (no relation to the 1956 Roger Corman film of the same name, as far as I know). Described as a "revenge-driven tale set in the near future in the snowy wasteland of a post-apocalyptic America", the story centers on two brothers who try to track down the gang responsible for the death of their parents. Josh Hartnett has signed on to star, while Mark Williams (Running Scared, The Cooler) will produce. There's no word on who is writing the script or where the story came from, »

The Flickcast – Episode 20: The Rise of Cobra
12 August 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
This week on The Flickcast, Chris, Matt and Christina discuss a whole slew of new topics and revisit a few old ones. Some of the things they cover in this episode include Green Hornet casting news, Steven Spielberg’s next movie, the somewhat surprising performance of G.I. Joe, Terminator 5 news, Tim Roth playing Abomination in two other movies, the death of John Hughes and a whole lot more.
The trio also makes some great picks this week with Christina’s choice of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in honor of John Hughes, Matt’s choice of Running Scared starring Paul Walker and Chris’ favorite comic book Blackest Night, written by Geoff Johns and penciled by Ivan Reis.
Last, but certainly not least, in honor of the 20th episode, the team announced a cool contest for all the listeners of the show. So, be sure to listen to this week »

Apparently 'G.I. Joe' Delivers Big-Time Mindless Mayhem!
31 July 2009 7:48 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
One of the bigger surprises of the late-summer movie geekery is that Stephen Sommers' G.I. Joe is getting surprisingly positive reviews! I guess it's just that late-summer action flicks are assumed to be moronic by default, but that hasn't prevented a big fistful of online movie geeks from expressing their incredulous praise for the family-friendly action flick. Our own Todd Gilchrist saw and enjoyed the flick, and we'll throw you a teaser excerpt after the jump, but he reminded me that there's nothing really like hyper-kinetic and virtually mindless action films when you're in the mood for something fun.
With that in mind, I humbly offer a few of my favorite "Mindless Mayhem Moments."
The final car chase in Doomsday. Well-cut, well-scored, and wonderfully manic.
Any car chase in Death Race.
The alley brawl in Charlie's Angels.
The alley brawl in They Live.

Captain America casting call No15: Paul Walker
5 May 2009 8:05 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
The Final candidate in my ongoing, occasional series of casting possibilities for Captain America is Paul Walker.
After modelling and appearing in several TV shows, the 35-year-old got his big break in the 2001 action flick The Fast and The Furious, alongside Vin Diesel.
He went on to appear in both sequels, and has had other film roles including the Clint Eastwood-directed war film Flags of our Fathers in 2006.
The handsome Californian was also in adventure movie Eight Below and the crime drama Running Scared, both in 2006.
Walker has been mentioned in fan discussions online - he has an all-American look and is often regarded as physically well-suited to the role though others doubt he has the acting skills to pull it off.
One factor in his favour is that he's not so well-known that he would be a distraction from the believability of the movie. But on the other »

Dimension and Chucky producer to terrorize Kristy
21 April 2009 8:42 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Variety reports that Dimension Films has nabbed the psychothriller spec script Kristy by Anthony Jaswinski, and has set it up to be made by David Kirschner Productions. Kirschner (pictured), whose credits include the Child's Play/Chucky film series and Bill Paxton's directorial debut Frailty, will produce the movie with Corey Sienega; a director has yet to be signed.
The story centers on a female college student fighting for her life against intruders who attack her on a deserted college campus. Jaswinski previously wrote and directed 2002's Killing Time, and his road-chiller script Westward has had directors including Paul Hunter, Horsemen's Jonas Akerlund and Running Scared's Wayne Kramer attached to it at New Line. »

Film: Review: Crossing Over
27 February 2009 2:50 PM, PST | avclub.com | See recent The AV Club news »
If such a thing as the socially conscious exploitation movie exists outside of Samuel Fuller’s filmography, writer-director Wayne Kramer may yet master it. In 2006’s frantic Running Scared, Kramer offered up a healthy dose of red-state paranoia, with self-sufficient New Jersey types discussing the virtues of hamburgers and John Wayne while disdaining the wealthy. (They’re all child molesters, it seems.) Crossing Over, an expansion of a 35-minute short Kramer made in 1996, is another tack on what it means to be American, offering a cross-section of people involved with immigration and deportation. While the film contains enough ... »
Now Playing: Slumdog Crosses Over and the Jonas Bros Do Whatever It is That They Do
27 February 2009 12:40 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
In case you've been tied up with Oscar mania and are ready to go back to the actual movies, there are new ones. Whether or not it's safe to go back (yeah, that time of year) is another issue entirely. Links go to trailers.
The Reader and Slumdog Millionaire are taking their highly publicized Oscar wins to their highest screen counts yet and asking for the public's stamp of approval. Kate Winslet is a Time cover girl and Slumdog is on the cover of EW. How much more money does Slumdog have in it? It recentl cracked 100 million.
This isn't really about the theater counts but I'd love your opinion on what's going on with Entertainment Weekly these days? If you ask me they're phoning it in now that they have almost zero real competition. They skipped both pre-show Oscar covers this year which is, I guess, neither here nor »

Crossing Over poster
3 February 2009 4:09 PM, PST | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
The drama Crossing Over revolves around the hot-button subject of immigration, and does so with a high-profile cast that includes a digitally de-aged but still cranky Harrison Ford, judging by the new poster. The movie comes from Wayne Kramer (Running Scared, The Cooler) and arrives on February 27th, just in time to remind you that the Weinstein Co. didn't consider it worthy of Oscar contention. You can see the uninspired one-sheet and previous trailer below. »

Harrison Ford Gets Younger in 'Crossing Over' Poster
1 February 2009 1:50 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »
The poster for Crossing Over has been released, and there's one thing I really like about and a couple things I don't. The movie comes from director Wayne Kramer, whose Running Scared was not really a hit, although it certainly had a few interesting scenes.
Something about that (and his previous film, The Cooler) has made him an in-demand director, because he's grabbed Harrison Ford, Jim Sturgess, and Ashley Judd for Crossing Over, not to mention a certain current Best Actor nominee who is going unbilled, although his stunt double gets credit.

Pissed Off Harrison Ford on the Crossing Over Poster
30 January 2009 2:09 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Ah yes, the subtleties of poster design. Our friends at Cinematical have the official debut of the poster for Crossing Over, the illegal immigrants movie starring Ashley Judd, Harrison Ford, Ray Liotta, and Jim Sturgess. The only impressive part of this poster is Ford's very pissed off stare, but other than that, there's not much to appreciate in this. Even the cheesy hidden American flag design isn't that exciting, especially because throwing that onto a poster isn't going to help sell it that well anymore. But then again, maybe I'm not the right audience for this, so who cares what I have to say? Either way, check it out below. If you haven't already seen it, we previously debuted the trailer for Crossing Over in November last year. Crossing Over is written and directed by South African filmmaker Wayne Kramer, of both The Cooler and Running Scared previously, who is »

Exclusive: 'Crossing Over' Poster Premiere
30 January 2009 1:15 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Cinematical has just received this exclusive final poster for Crossing Over, starring Harrison Ford, Ray Liotta, Jim Sturgess and Ashley Judd. Directed by Wayne Kramer (Running Scared, The Cooler), Crossing Over weaves together several stories about immigrants trying to achieve legal status -- as well as a better life for themselves and their loved ones -- in Los Angeles. The stacked cast should produce a variety of excellent performances (especially for a film released in February), and the Crash-like vibe I'm feeling over this film will definitely appeal to a lot of folks out there. You can check out the full-sized version of this poster by clicking the box below, and the trailer is available over on Moviefone.
Crossing Over hits theaters on February 27.

Kramer is Fully Automatic!
27 January 2009 10:52 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Wayner Kramer (The Cooler, Running Scared) is to helm Fully Automatic, a buddy action film in the vein of the Lethal Weapon movies. Joel Silver will produce.
The story, according to Variety, follows two rookie cops out to make their mark and who team with a female former Delta Force operative to stop a mercenary who has stolen a cache of weapons.
Kramer will do a rewrite on the screenplay, originally penned by Mark Wolff, and the film should be in production later in the year. »
Ready For Another Version Of Lethal Weapon?
27 January 2009 9:48 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Wayne Kramer is known for writing and directing smaller action movies like Running Scared or the immigration drama Crossing Over, but he may be on the verge of hitting the big time with his next project. Kramer has been charged with directing Fully Automatic, a buddy action film following in the footsteps Lethal Weapon. You can tell the movie is the big league because it's being produced by Joel Silver, who launched Lethal Weapon forever ago and remains a big-deal producer, despite Speed Racer. Variety says the film will hopefully start shooting later this year, after Kramer has a pass at the script. You can't blame him for wanting to get everything in order before he makes what might be his big-budget debut. »
Wayne Kramer is Fully Automatic -- Which is great because my semi-automatic Kramer just wasn't cutting it anymore
27 January 2009 | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Wayne Kramer is one of the most under-appreciated writer-directors working today. "The Cooler" is a great drama that folks will put up as a highlight in both William H. Macy and Maria Bello's careers and "Running Scared" is the best thing Paul Walker has ever done by about a mile. While I do think that his upcoming film, "Crossing Over" (with no John Edwards!) looks painfully derivative, the fact that he's behind it makes me want to see it. However, I am much more excited for his next film, "Fully Automatic" even though Marc Wolff is credited as the writer and not Kramer. According to Variety, the plot ollows two rookie cops out to make their mark and who team with a female former Delta Force operative to stop a mercenary who has stolen a cache of weapons. It's supposed to be in the vein of "Lethal Weapon" and »
Joel Silver Goes Fully Automatic
27 January 2009 12:38 AM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Joel Silver’s attempts to get Lethal Weapon 5 off the ground may have stalled – at least, for now - when Mel Gibson declined to return, but it hasn’t stopped Silver from dipping his toe back into the buddy movie genre. And thank God for that.For the man who produced The Last Boy Scout, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Road House as well as the Lethal Weapon series is now set to add Fully Automatic to that list, with Wayne Kramer coming on board to direct.Kramer, whose Running Scared was an effective action thriller, will take a pass at the script, which is currently by Marc Woolf.The story, which sounds very Shane Black, will follow two rookie (and, no doubt, wisecracking) cops who team up with a female Delta Forces operative in order to stop a mad mercenary who’s stolen a horde of weapons.Sounds »
Wayne Kramer Gets Fully Automatic

Wayne Kramer has signed on to direct Fully Automatic, a buddy action film that is said to be in the vein of Lethal Weapon. Joel Silver, whose Silver Pictures launched the Mel Gibson and Danny Glover franchise, is producing. The story follows two rookie cops out to make their mark and who team with a female former Delta Force operative to stop a mercenary who has stolen a cache of weapons. The most recent draft was written by Marc Wolff. Kramer will do a pass on the script. Kramer’s credits include the Paul Walker action flick Running Scared, Mindhunters and the William H. Macy and Alec Baldwin drama, The Cooler. He most recently completed production on Crossing Over, a multi-character drama starring Harrison Ford about immigrants of different nationalities struggling to achieve legal status in Los Angeles. It’s set to open in February. Production is slated to begin later this year. »
