Watch HITLER KAPUT, A Russian Comedy which has Jean Claude Van Damme in it (apparently!)

source TWITCH
In the traditional words of Monty Python..."Now For Something Completely Different!" Well it is if your the mussels From Brussels Jean Claude Van Damme. If you thought JVD's career had already slipped down into shitcreek wellits becomeing a real silly laughing matter now as he's been casted into Russian slapstick comedy(in 3d) Ржевский против Наполеона (HILTER KAPUT)!
Formerly called Napoleon Kaput Van Damme is to play a French Soldier under Napoleon's command but there isnt a still or a clip yet to prove he's actually in it apart from a clip from MTV Russia (sorry english subs) annoucing he will be in it.
Either Jean Claude Van Damme has plenty money to waste or hes in a dire desperation needing the cash this is total rank and any hope of reconciling his career will go out the window even if he does appear in Expendables 2. There's more chance of Mel Gibson winning forgiveness than JVD making a decent movie ever again after this!!!

Icelandic Dark Comedy STORMLAND Has a Trailer

sourceTWITCH
There's something movies that the more dark the humour is the more I sadistically enjoy it, throw in a bit of obscurity Ill probably enjoy it even if I dont get the humour. Marteinn Thorsson's STORMLAND (Rokland) is one of those movies its based on a popular novel by Hallgrímur Helgason and is a story about a very bitter man from the northern part of the island. He is obbessed about the local viking legend, Nietzsche and the girl at the post office but when he looses his job at the school he takes out his anger online blogging about the locals, Of course there not happy and he ends up a social outcast.
The movie could easily be created by  Terry Gillam mixed in with some Big Lebowski totally crazy and they throw in a little animation which is fairly new for Icelandic filmmaking but not elesewhere. Check out the trailer above and the movie will be out January 14th in Iceland.

Power Rangers Are GO! PW Creator with Trailer For Indie Flick DARK METROPOLIS

Dark Metropolis from Indican Pictures on Vimeo.
sourceQuietEarth
 Its just been released on DVD in USA/Canada DARK METROPLIS comes from the mind of Power Rangers creator Stewart St.John. The movie is set 300 years into the future when a race genetically created raised and abused by humans now finds they are the rulers, sont expect spandex multicoloured uniforms or big rubbery monster Dark Metropolis is like a cross between THX-1138 crossed with Dune and Dark City. Dystopian movies are usually quite miserable, bleak like 1984, Metropolis, etc.... but this does have those element but it also has a heavy dose of good old spiritual ethos thrown in "can I get a halleujah!!!"
Dark Metopolis stars Bailey Chase, Eric Scott Woods, Arthur Roberts and Ron Perlman.

So after they create that great movie  we antcipate there next movie and hope that they suceed or at equal that sucess and this is the case for Chilean director Pablo Larain. A few years back he brought us the highly sucessful Tony Manero, the serial killer who was inspired by John Travolta's Saturday Night Fever character, so the pressure has been on him but after been selected for this years Venice Film Festival with POST MORTEM.
The movie is set in the backdrop of the 1973 Chilean political uprisings and revolves around Victor a middle aged man who helps out at the local Mortary documenting the bodies that come through there doors. As this is the 1970's Chile it was one certain Facist dictator General Pinochet who overthrew the government in power, sadly his biggest ally was another facist dictator Margaret Thatcher!
We can say Larrain has suceeded himself with this movie, check out the French trailer after the break...
