With screenwriter Roger Avary and producer Samuel Hadida coming on board ‘Silent Hill 2′, Davis Films plans to kick off principal photography after ‘Resident Evil: Afterlife’.

Roger Avary

Familiar faces from “Silent Hill” are making their return to the video game adaptation. According to The Hollywood Reporter, screenwriter Roger Avary and producer Samuel Hadida have come on board “Silent Hill 2″, the sequel to the 2006 horror thriller. The two signed on while no director has been attached to the project.

Confirmation of Avary’s return was in contrast to his 2007 remark to Shock Till You Drop. At the time, he indicated that he won’t be making a return should director Christophe Gans refuse to return to the director’s chair for the second time. “I’m not gonna do Silent Hill 2,” he said. “If Christophe’s not gonna do it, I’m not…”

Roger Avary is known for his work on Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction”. His writing credits include “The Rules of Attraction” and “Beowulf”. He is writing for videogame adaptation of “Return to Castle Wolfenstein”. Samuel Hadida, in the meantime, has produced such movies as “Resident Evil: Extinction” and “The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus”.

Samuel Hadida

The original “Silent Hill” centers on a young mother desperate to find a cure for her only child’s illness. Ignoring the protests of her husband, she travels to an abandoned town in search of answers and finds supernatural occurrences taking place there. It stars Radha Mitchell and Jodelle Ferland. The sequel is expected to begin shooting in 2010 after “Resident Evil: Afterlife”, which is currently preparing to film.

So I finally got around to watching Resident Evil: Extinction on one of the free movie channels … and wow, I’m sure glad I didn’t pay any money to see it.  I thought the first Resident Evil was mediocre but watchable, and actually rather liked the second one.  The third one?  Not so much.

Rather than use my usual rating system of how soon it would put my wife to sleep (which would be:  Immediately if not sooner), I’m going to revert to the “Things I Learned From This Movie” format that I stole from badmovies.org and that I use occasionally.  Ready?  Let’s begin.

• Viruses have the power to dry up lakes and rivers, as well as to melt mountain snowpacks
• All scientists working on cloning projects should be required to see Multiplicity
• If you run a super-high-tech top-secret underground research facility, then obviously the best way to dispose of dead bodies is to take them to the surface and dump them in an open ditch
• Just because you have a convoy of vehicles that you stole from The Road Warrior doesn’t mean you know how to use them
• When someone is attacked and overpowered by a zombie carrying an infectious virus, no one will bother to check and see if that person has been bitten by same
• Overrun by undead crows?  Unable to see anything outside your vehicle because of all the birds flying around in front of you? Driving blind at full speed is always a good escape plan!
• Oded Fehr is cooler than any film in which he appears (cf Resident Evil 2, The Mummy Returns, this, etc.)
• Come the apocalypse, drug store makeup will still be available
• It’s a sad, sad thing when somebody decides they need to airbrush Milla Jovovich to make her prettier.  Milla Jovovich!
• Your odds of winning in Vegas when it’s abandoned and covered by sand drifts are only slightly worse than your odds of winning in Vegas now
• You can fit hundreds of zombies into a storage container if you really try
• All the fashionable undead are wearing powder blue jumpsuits this year

One additional note:  I found the soundtrack to this film to be unusually good for a trashy zombie flick; in particular, I really liked Collide’s cover of Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit” that is played over the closing credits.  It was almost worth sitting through the film just to hear that. If you like dark, mellow, techno-industrial-melodic type music (think Sister Machine Gun or Nine Inch Nails in a relaxed mood), check Collide out — you can listen to a preview of “White Rabbit” here.

Resident Evil: Afterlife is looking at a September 17, 2010 release date.  Paul W. S. Anderson (Death Race) is writing the script.  The story shifts the series to Tokyo Japan. 

Lukas Eggen

Before I begin, I should give my Man Card to Seth because I know he would ask for it after reading this so here you go Seth.  *gives Man Card*  Don’t go too far because I will need that back in a bit.

So.

I love movies.  I love many movies and there only a few that I can honestly say that I don’t like.  White Chicks comes to mind, that movie was so stupid but it had it moments, no it was just stupid, sorry to those who liked it, not my humor I guess.  Where did this come from you might wonder?

Well insomnia has me awake again and I can’t sleep so I figured I will try to do something a little productive with my time so I am here to write about my love for movies.  Seeing as I gave up my Man Card early on, this is not going to be about shoot’em up, crashes and explosion type movies with ample tits and ass.  Even though I enjoy those movies and have seen many of them, I can’t ignore those other movies that I tend to end up watching at 3 o’clock in the morning.  Like this movie for instance.

I didn’t catch it from the beginning but it was interesting enough for me to keep watching and before you knew it, I am writing this blog as the credits roll.  Maybe it is that I watched that Martin Lawrence movie earlier, “Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins” and at the heart of that movie is a father and son relationship.  I miss my Dad.  Some days more than others and tonight, I just couldn’t help but be in a nostalgic mood.

My Father instilled in me a love for movies and something that I know has been passed on from him to me on down to my sons.  It is a game almost where we watch movies and I point out to them actors that they may recognize from other movies.  Now they are doing it for me.  We were watching the new Star Trek trailer and they both thought they recognized one of the actors from the new Wolverine movie that we got to see the other weekend.  I love that.  =)

Excuse me.  *punches Seth and takes back Man Card*  Sorry Milla Jovovich and the beginning of Resident Evil: Extinction just caught my eye.  =)  Damn is she hot.  Hey!  Ali Larter is in this one too.  LOL  *gives back Man card*

So as I was saying, I love movies and with my insomnia I find that there are some really great movies out there that don’t get the full Hype Machine Treatment and I guess that is okay because they become gems for me to find.  Like that movie I linked to earlier.  It is one of those Body Switch Comedies, you know’em you love them.  This one was a bit different.

It wasn’t exactly like the Jimmy Smits/Elen Barkin movie aptly named “Switch” but it was essentially the same.  Male in a female body but this one had both the male and female.  Boy and girl, neighbors, always at odds with each other happen to switch bodies and find love at the end.

What I enjoyed about it and all other boy meets girl movies is that no matter what situation the two people are put in, I know that it is scripted for a happy ending where the two that we know are meant to be together end up together.  Assholes and lady assholes get the shaft or their asses exposed in public, same ol same ol right?  Of course.  It was scripted that way.

I guess watching Roscoe Jenkins earlier just put me in a mood to want to enjoy a movie and get into it, to allow myself to be immersed and enjoy the characters for what they are meant to be.  They (The Jenkins Family) are just that, a Family.  I enjoyed the movie, I enjoyed the characters.  I love how I can watch a movie and then see the same actor in another movie.  Let’s see if you movie buffs can identify the actor that was in both “Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins” and “Resident Evil: Extinction” then for fun tie him to Kevin Bacon.  =)  He usually has some great supporting roles.

So I was in the mood to watch a movie and I was surprised at how easy it was for me to get immersed into what can be considered a chick flick.  C’mon, most boy meets girl movies are considered chick flicks and I do tend to watch them in the middle of the night when I feel like watching a movie.

I started this with a thought in mind but it really is just another opportunity for me to write.  I have been wanting to get into a routine of writing something everyday and for the most part I have been able to but I think I had meant that to be in one place for one purpose.  I would love to be called a novelist but I haven’t found my niche.

I can write comedy but I am not always the funniest person.  I know I can write romances but I don’t think I can keep it a romance novel.  I can write horror and at one time wrote what started out as a romance (short story) but ended up with a severed hand.  Maybe I can write all three, a romantic horror with comedic undertones.  *shrugs*

Hmm, that does sound interesting.  I guess I could write a novel that I know could be a movie.  A movie that I would want to watch with my buddies.  Or something that I can watch by myself in the middle of the night.  I think I have exhausted my creative juices for now so I will look now to take back what is mine.

Seth knowing what is coming tries to give back my Man Card but it is too late.  He winces as a fist flies through the air and hits him square in the arm.  =)  I wished Ashanti had more of a role in this movie that I am watching right now (RE: Extinction) but I guess I can easily put on a DVD and watch her performance in “John Tucker Must Die”.  No I can watch Ali Larter and Milla for a while and then maybe I will jump into some Resident Evil 5 for some Versus mode.

*knifes Seth as the credits roll*

My apologies for slacking on this the last two months, we’ve had our hands full.  April’s looking interesting, but this is filler season between the Oscars and summer blockbuster season, so we’ll see.

Give ‘em Hell, Malone – Directed by Russell Mulcahy, Written by Mark Hosack

Before Resident Evil: Extinction (2007), Russell Mulcahy hasn’t made a big movie since 1994 (yeah, The Shadow wasn’t good…but it was big…kind of).  However, this homage to private investigator film noir looks violent as hell, and entertaining.

Thomas Jane, Doug Hutchison, Ving Rhames, Leland Orser

April 1

The Escapist – Directed by Rupert Wyatt, Written by Rupert Wyatt and Daniel Hardy

This IFC picture debuted at Sundance last year, and has a limited release next month.  Brian Cox is in prison, learns his daughter is terminally ill, and plots a daring escape attempt to make things right before she dies.  IFC generally has strong writing, weak direction, and average acting, but I’ll always give them a shot.  And if you can’t find it in theaters, I’m sure it’s already on Comcast OnDemand.

Brian Cox, Damian Lewis, Joseph Fiennes

April 3

Fast and Furious – Directed by Justin Lin, Written by Chris Morgan

So the original cast is back, and so is the Charger that made me cream my pants in 2001.  The preview looks promising after two horrible sequels.  However, both the director and writer have only been a part of Tokyo Drift, the most pointless one in the series.  This is a studio film, and I’m really hoping they keep the cars flashy, the women naked, and the story simple.

Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster

April 3

Gigantic – Directed by Matt Aselton, Written by Matt Aselton and Adam Nagata

Newbie writer and director, but a solid cast.  Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Little Miss Sunshine) heads this strange story about a mattress salesman’s plan to adopt a Chinese baby.  Goodman looks hilarious, but there’s substance to it.  I’m intrigued.

Paul Dano, Zooey Deschanel, John Goodman, Jane Alexander, Ed Asner

April 3

Lymelife – Directed by Derick Martini, Written by Derick and Steven Martini

I’m not sure how virgin director Derick Martini got Martin Scorcese to executive produce this, but if Marty signed off on it, it’s fine with me.  The cast is interesting if not solid, with an Imaginary Heroes kind of feel to it.  Not a big Jill Hennessy fan, but Rory Culkin seems to know what he’s doing already (at least he’s staying away from Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern).

Alec Baldwin, Jill Hennessy, Kieran Culkin, Rory Culkin, Timothy Hutton, Cynthia Nixon, Emma Roberts

April 8

Observe and Report – Written and Directed by Jody Hill

It could very well be Paul Blart II, but Rogen’s random humor coupled with Faris’ offbeat ridiculousness could turn the rent-a-cop genre legitimate…yeah, not so much.

Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Michael Pena, Ray Liotta

April 10

American Violet – Directed by Tim Disney, Written by Bill Haney

Based on a true story, newcomer Nicole Beharie plays a single mom living in Texas around the 2000 elections.  Her apartment complex is raided by police task forces, and she is jailed on dubious drug-trafficking charges.  She then attempts to flip it on the system.  The plot screams Lifetime film, but the preview screams Oscar oversight.

Nicole Beharie, Will Patton, Alfre Woodard, Michael O’Keefe, Charles Dutton, Tim Blake Nelson, Xzibit

April 17

Crank: High Voltage – Written and Directed by Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor

The tagline says it all: “He was dead…then he got better.”  Are you fucking serious?  The first movie, although possibly entertaining (Amy Smart getting pounded in the middle of China town was pretty sweet), was freaking retarded.  And now, after falling out of a helicopter to certain death, Jason Statham is brought back to life, but he still has to keep moving.  Did he learn nothing from the Transporter movies?  This film is insulting to America, but saddening to me, because America is actually gonna go see this, count on it.

Jason Statham, Amy Smart

April 17

Sleep Dealer – Directed by Alex Rivera, Written by Alex Rivera and David Riker

In the future, America is a militarized state, and our borders are closed.  However, we still rely on foreign workers through a network of virtual labor and digital communication.  Three young people in Mexico, fed up with the lack of personal contact, attempt to break down the borders of society.  Looks pretty flashy for coming out of Mexico, no big names, but the premise is interesting.

Leonor Varela, Jacob Vargas, Luis Fernando Pena

April 17

State of Play – Directed by Kevin Macdonald, Written by Matthew Michael Carnahan and Tony Gilroy

Mixed feelings.  Kevin Macdonald directed The Last King of Scotland, which I really liked.  Tony Gilroy, even though he only wrote this one, directed Michael Clayton, which I fucking hated.  But with the exception of Ben Affleck, this is like an Oscar Allstar team, and the whole “government cover-up of a politician’s indiscretions” never seems to get old.  That, and I would love to see Gladiator beat the shit out of Gigli.

Russell Crowe, Rachel McAdams, Helen Mirren, Ben Affleck, Jason Bateman, Robin Wright Penn, Jeff Daniels, Viola Davis

April 17

The Informers – Directed by Gregor Jordan, Written by Bret Easton Ellis and Nicholas Jarecki

Gregor Jordan hasn’t really done anything of note yet, but Ellis wrote the novels American Psycho and Rules of Attraction, both great stories and cult classic films.  The Informers is another 1980’s period piece about the intersecting lives of L.A.’s elite and down-and-out.  Welcome back, Mickey, we missed you.

Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Mickey Rourke, Winona Ryder, Jon Foster, Amber Heard, Rhys Ifans, Brad Renfro

April 24

Mutant Chronicles – Directed by Simon Hunter, Written by Philip Eisner

This has nothing to do with the X-men, just so we’re clear.  Yes, there is a mutant army threatening life as we know it.  Themes of totalitarian religious states and mankind’s struggle to survive overplay Ron Perlman’s weak Celtic accent, and Thomas Jane is a badass.

Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, Devon Aoki, Pras, John Malkovich, Sean Pertwee

April 24

Powder Blue – Written and Directed by Timothy Linh Bui

This film got a lot of hype on the internet when it was rumored that Jessica Biel, who plays a stripper, will finally be getting naked (stupid WB and 7^th Heaven).  However, after all the hoopla, it may not get a wide theatrical release, if it sees the box office at all.  I’m hoping this isn’t another “Nothing but the Truth”, we’ll see.

Forest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, Patrick Swayze, Jessica Biel, Lisa Kudrow, Kris Kristofferson

April 24

The Soloist – Directed by Joe Wright, Written by Susannah Grant

Just because I am including this film again, it will be pushed back to August, because Christopher McQuarrie is out to get me (don’t ask).  Oscar nominee Joe Wright’s rigid, Oscar-cock-sucking style may have relaxed with this true story of a musical genius living on the streets.  I just really want Downey to win an Oscar.

Robert Downey Jr., Jamie Foxx, Catherine Keener, Lisa Gay Hamilton, Stephen Root

Sleep:  This is bad.  I finally got up at about 5pm.  Sorry.  For some reason, almost all of my dreams somehow involved Ford Austin.  Don’t worry, Ford.  Nothing erotic.  Or was there?

Food: Yesterday soup nummers chick soup, pickles, bagel chips, then alter, salmon, babaganush, hummus, pound cake, bread, a coke, a couple choco cookies.  Nothing so far today.

Tum: Anxiety.

Mood: Last night, as you saw, The Rage ™ was ON!  Now not much of anything..

Suicidal Tendencies: Nasty.  Last night was the worst in weeks, if not months.  I came up with, hmmm, 3 ways?  6?  Clearly I carried none of them out as I’m typing this, but wow, it was dark in this room last night.

Productivity: Last night I looked up some congresspeople to eventually draft letters about the CoG.  I guess that’s minor productivity.

Joy: Simp last night.  And that Falling Down movie and Resident Evil: Extinction and I talked to Tim for a long while.  Oh, and I chatted with Friend-to-you.

Sex: Not today.

America’s sweetheart Amanda Bynes stars in the fun comedy Sydney White! When tomboy Sydney (Bynes) is banished from the most popular sorority on campus, she is taken in by seven socially challenged but endearing guys. With the help of her new friends, Sydney stands up for outcasts everywhere and takes on the reigning campus queen in a popularity showdown! But can she succeed and also win the heart of gorgeous frat guy Tyler Prince? You’ll love this hilarious and sweet age-old story with a charming modern-day twist!

Entering College is a time of great transition, but Sydney White (Amanda Bynes) is secure in her plan to follow in her late-mother’s footsteps and pledge Kappa Phi Nu sorority when she arrives at Southern Atlantic University. Raised by a plumber father and a host of other construction workers, the comic book collection toting Sydney is definitely her own unique person and has some decidedly tomboy tendencies that contrast starkly with the ditzy, superficial girls she meets at her first sorority function. Sorority leader and student council president Rachel (Sara Paxton) takes an instant dislike to Sydney and vows to make her rushing experience intolerable. Only Tyler (Mat Long), a member of one of the campus fraternities, seems to see and appreciate the real Sydney. After weeks of hazing abuse, Rachel declares Sydney unfit to join the sorority and a despondent Sydney joins seven misfit boys in a soon-to-be-condemned house on Greek Row known as the Vortex. Fueled by the desire for revenge and a newly discovered sense of respect and belonging thanks to her new roommates, Sydney decides to fight back against the snobbery of the Greek elite and champion the rights of all misfits on campus by running against Rachel for Student Council President. By rallying the support of interest groups and misfits campus-wide, it appears that Sydney might just have a chance of winning. This film begins with an almost gag-inducing portrayal of sorority snobbery at its worst and soon gives way to a hysterically comic look at the under-representation of the masses in collegiate society. The satirical parallel to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is heavy (this is the story of “Sydney White and the Seven Dorks” complete with Sneezy, Sleepy, and Doc) and the portrayal of interest groups on college campuses is farcical to the extreme. All in all, Sydney White is hysterically funny and surprisingly appealing to audiences of both genders and a wide age range. Rated PG-13 for some language, sexual humor, and partying. –Tami Horiuchi

Filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson (Death Race), aka the “mastermind” behind the Resident Evil movie franchise  (he only directed the first one, but wrote and produced all three installments) has recently stated he will soon start tackling the unavoidable next sequel, saying thet he’s writing “an adaptation of the Long Good Friday right now, set in present-day Miami. Then I will probably write Resident Evil 4.”

Each film in the franchise ends with a tease to the sequel, so judging from Resident Evil: Extinction you can expect the film to take place at least partly in Tokyo, Japan. Aside from the rather poor writing (especially for the second movie’s ending), my main beef with these movies is how much they stray from their video game source, both in tone and storywise (much like most video game adaptations).

Heck the films feel more like video games than the games themselves. Then again, Extinction is the flick that has the least in common with the games, becoming some sort of Mad Max with zombies, and ended up arguably being the franchise’s best film and a great return to form for Highlander director Russell Mulcahy.  Yet one can argue that this is because the previous two entries had so little to do with the games that what they did have in common was more distracting than anything else.

So while Resident Evil 4 may prove to turn into an entertaining action movie, I’d still like to see a Resident Evil movie done right. Sure there’s that new CGI movie but that one simply expands on the games’ storyline, instead of retelling it. The Anderson series needs to be concluded in a final installment, enabling a more respectful filmmaker to reboot the franchise in my opinion.

“Il cinema è comunicazione che a sua volta deve essere comunicata”. E’ questo il filo conduttore da cui parte la sesta edizione del Trailers FilmFest, il festival dei trailers cinematografici che ha fatto della promozione la sua mission.
Catania, la meravigliosa città che lo accoglie sin dalla sua prima edizione, per tre giorni diventa nuovamente la capitale dei trailers, il palcoscenico ideale per premiare questi importanti frammenti di cinema, il luogo giusto per parlare di promozione cinematografica.
Ci piace pensare al Trailers FilmFest come il luogo ideale dove distributori, trailersmakers ed esperti di promozione cinematografica possano incontrarsi per parlare della promozione di un film e pianificare le loro campagne pubblicitarie e dove i giovani possano trovare l’opportunità per conoscere più da vicino il mondo dei trailers e i grandi professionisti del cinema.

Forte dello straordinario successo di pubblico delle scorse edizioni, il festival quest’anno ha voluto allargare i suoi orizzonti e aprirsi alle diverse espressioni della promozione cinematografica. Alle tre tradizionali sezioni Il concorso, TrailersLab, TrailersPremière, si aggiunge quest’anno una nuova sezione TrailersProfessional, che vuole essere momento di incontro tra i professionisti del mondo del cinema, del mondo della promozione e della pubblicità.
Il cuore del festival è Il Concorso che vede in gara 30 trailers per le tre selezioni Italia, Europa e World.

Il fiore all’occhiello è TrailerLab, il laboratorio creativo del festival, realizzato in collaborazione con la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia dell’Università di Catania che vede tre intensi giorni di workshop, lezioni sui mestieri del cinema, incontri, rassegne di trailers.
L’intrattenimento è TrailersPremière che con le sue anteprime cinematografiche e le premiazioni non rinuncia al buon cinema e allo spettacolo.
L’approfondimento è la novità TrailersProfessional con un incontro, per cominciare, su La promozione cinematografica: il web una grande opportunità e con alcuni importanti riconoscimenti: Il Premio Professionalità; Il Premio alla Rivelazione dell’Anno; Il Premio alla Migliore Campagna Promozionale per il lancio di un film; Il Premio alla Miglior locandina.

La forza di questo festival è sicuramente nell’idea, ma è grazie alla passione di chi ci lavora tutto l’anno che il Trailers FilmFest è diventato quello che è ora, un festival con una sua precisa identità che sa guardare al futuro. E, i miei ringraziamenti vanno prima di tutto a loro. Ringrazio le case di distribuzione, le istituzioni pubbliche e i partner privati che hanno sostenuto questa edizione, la Città di Catania, la Facoltà di Lettere e Filosofia e il meraviglioso pubblico che ci segue sin dagli inizi.

Alla prossima edizione,
Stefania Bianchi, Direttore artistico Trailers FilmFest
