Sundance Doc CATFISH facing Possible Lawsuit

source IFC
December 17th Sundance most talked about Documentary CATFISH hits the UK/Irish cinemasbut now it from US that the movie possibly may not all its seems to be and faces a possible lawsuit.Since the movie premiered at Sundance 2010 it has been musch talked about, critics giving it rave review but now Hollywood Reporter is reporting that the movie is more fictional rather than non-fictional and alot of the movie is staged and acting.
Catfish is a documentary created by  Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman with the movi focusing on Schulman's brother Nev and his facebook/internet relaionship with a girl from Mid western USA and what they find when they visit the girl, is well... shocking. But who is suing the filmmakers and distributors Universal Pictures & Relativity Media? Its Threshold Media who own the rights to a song used by  Amy Kuney, who is protesting the movie's use of her song "All Downhill From Here," which Nev's online girlfriend passess of as her own song, Eriq Gardner of THR says:

For some time now, Threshold has been attempting to get filmmakers to pay licensing fees for the song. According to the new copyright infringement lawsuit, the producers have rejected doing so. According to Threshold's LA lawyer, Neville Johnson, the producers claimed that since the song was part of a real-life documentary, it was a "fair use" of the copyright.

But what if those were staged scenes - and filmmakers knowingly exploited a copyrighted song? Wouldn't the "fair use" defense crumble?

Since the documentary was picked up the marketing was good in the sense t was only spoon feeding you enough footae to make you go to check the movie out due to its cliffhangar, but if things go Threshold Media way  the truth of this documentary (or will it be mockamentary) may now come out and actually could question what could you consider to be documentary and whats not.

Anyone that knows me I love my zombie flicks and im not affraid to say Zack Snyder's Dawn Of The Dead is one of my all time favs (up there with the original of course!). The movie & tv world seems to be dominated by vampire movies/series which now are getting a little bored but as i said cant beat something from the undead and with The Walking Dead doing the rounds on tv, its time to see some more flesheater on our screen.
DEADHEADS is from the mins of the Pierce brothers (Brett and Drew) and its a zombie buddy  comedy movie which actually look really good and its a shame i wont probably see it unless the movie get some sort of release in uk (more likely dvd). People will say zombies ... boring!!! Think again  with this one  its different its a road movie which has two zombies during a zombie epidemic looking for lost love whilst been tracked by agents with different agenda than theres!!! Good to be different, zombie with some brain cells functioning.

For over the centuries Bathory has been known as one of Humanity's 'butchers' of people, tortured, mamed, go down of list of barbaric acts your sure to find Bathory had performed them on innocent people they even said she bathed in there blood .

source BeyondHollywood
When a Asian movie has Western actors in their flick there usually unknowns who are acting in every part they can get hoping they will be spotted or there actors who are actually based in that country. You never here about big named actors lets say Harvey Keitel suddenly appears in a Korean movie from Hyung-rae Shim you'll think im taking the piss... How wrong you are!!!! THE LAST GODFATHER is the latest flick from Dragon Wars director Shim which stars Keitel as Don Carini who is about to name his heir and he names Younggu (played by the director Hyung-rae Shim ) his son!!!
The movie has went in the slapstick direction of comedywhich is very rare these days and even the Western actors do look okay in this as well, no crappy CGI as in D-Wars. So think Younggu as a Korean Mr Bean and you'll get the drift, trailer afer the break....

In 1951, Don Carini, the most powerful godfather in the mafia gathers all his followers to announce the heir to the family. The head of each department expects to be crowned the next Don but they hear a shocking story from Don Carini. During his travels in Asia, he fell in love with an Asian woman and bore a son with her.

Final Trailer For Adam Mason's LUSTER

source TWITCH
Know Your Enemy as the poster says, but who is the enemy? Andrew Howerd stars as Anderew Luster a trouble businessman who is trying to make sense in whats going on and only to find who he is arguing with is nastier manipulative alter ego. murder, madness and mayhem will take Luster in one hell of a roller coster ride of his life.
I really love the way the trailer shows the two sides of Luster the good and the bad sides it reminded me of the Andy Serkis Gollum/smeagol part in Lord of The Rings movies, smartly done to make the viewer think there is actual two people. Apparently this movie has taken a long time to be made but now its in the final stages of post production before its release date and to tell how long its been in post production director Adam Mason has made  the horror movie PIG .
LUSTER also stars Xander Berkley (24, Nikita, Kick Ass), Holly Valance (Neighbours, Taken, Shark, Prison Break) and Billy Burke (Twilight, Drive Angry 3D), trailer after the break.....
