Having a search through the mysterious world called the world wide web to bring you some goodies for you to enjoy and came across this little cracker of a movie short starring "I'm in everything British made " Noel Clarke.
The short movie is called REIGN OF DEATH and was created by Matthew Savage it's a CGI short movie similar in style as 300, Sin City.When you watch the trailer it's like a fallback to the old film noir mixed up with fritz lang inspired sci-fi...pulp science fiction! It's a simple story of  a 1930s vision of the future and gumshoe chases down a robotic murder suspect, the movie came out last year but cinehouse wasn't around when this came out, so enjoy!

Trailer For Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phamtom Flame Trailer

source Filmsmash


When I first spotted this trailer before I even looked at the link or what the movie was about it sounded like it was a scooby doo type movie and how wrong I was. The movies title ( Di Renjie - original name)  Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phamtom Flame is enough to attract any one to find out more!.
D-project (its short name) stars Andy Lau (Future X-Cops, The Warlords) and Bingbing Li (the forbidden Kindom) in a Action crime thriller  as well been set not in modern day but 690AD. As if said many times on this blog the Chinese/Hong Kong know how to create period movies is spectacular fashion and this one is big!
This time last year I was in Guangzhou, China and everywhere you went as well on TV Andy Lau was everywhere on Pepsi & Shampoo billboards, tv ads he is big money ! He is actully remaking What Woman Want the Mel Gibson movie it seems to be a deal that some of the hollywood  movies to be remade into asian movies (theres a japanese version of Ghost coming too), well think about it Hollywood is always looking at the foreign movie market for new movies usually destroying them, so why cant it be reversed? dont blame them

Won Bin is a man on a mission a mission to suceed and become the new kid on the block with the international action movie genre, showing many similarities of a young Chow Yun Fat. You can see how weel Bin fare'sin the second trailer of THE MAN FROM NOWHERE.

Early days for this movie weren't looking with it even missing possibly the festivals but thankfully it made Cannes and now several months on here is  Jiang Wen’s LET THE BULLETS FLY. offical trailer.

This looks a visually fantastic looking Period piece and its one thing I can say about the Chinese when it comes to period based movies they go all out to make it as authentic  as possible in a grand scale and it has a rock music score to compliment it. You know sometimes they things happen for a reason, maybe the delay was the best thing to happen to this movie as it looks mighty fine movie!

Movie stars Chow Yun-fat, Ge You, Carina Lau, Fan Liao, and Yun Zhou and will be in Chinese cinemas from  December 16th.

Teaser For Spanish Horror (or Thriller) VERBO

Source ShockTilYouDrop
Alot of things in movieworld get typecast be it certain actors or the movie and its origin, so when we talk about Spain these days it tends to be gripping horror/thrillers.When it's the Horror genre there's a little checklist: Does it have director/producers from The Orphanage or Pan's Labyrinth? is it a Horror? is it a Thriller? or cant you tell? if you tick all the boxes on this checklist, it's Spanish! But nowdays the Spanish movies are very confusing when you cant tell which genre the movie should fall under, but what should be more import is the movie any good?
Verbo ticks all the box of the checklist with Eduardo Chapero-Jackson  who wrote and directed the movie which does look quite good despite his fetish for lightsticks! The soundtrack and visual effects do build this movie up to be a epic intense film.
Teaser Trailer after the break....

The story follows Sara, a teenager who doesn't understand the world in which she lives. Only Liriko, a mysterious character who projects enigmatic messages across the city, seems to understand her. Her search for meaning in this often depressing world will lead her to a secret place, where she will embark on a great adventure towards life, or death. If she succeeds, Sara could finally be able to leave her mark on the world.

INSOMNIA Director Returns with Heist Movie NOKAS

Source Gordon The Whale
About 8 years ago a little unknown Christopher Nolan remade Insomnia which was based on a 1997 Norweigan movie also called Insomnia by a director called Erik Skjoldbjærg (who did get acknowledge in the remake).Skjoldbaerg hasn't dont much on the big screen for about 5 years and he return with an impressive looking Heist movie called NOKAS
The movie is very and violent but at the same time you get the feeling that the criminals in mind are slightly glorified in the way the criminals in Ocean's franchise, the inspiration is varied especially a big influence from Japanese movies like Rashomon (which is on a limited cinematical release in UK at the moment). This just looks good and would love to review this, highly unlikely I'll see it, but if you do send us a review and share it with us here at Cinehouse!

O.T.T Mutant Mayhem with Trailer to Benny Chan's CITY UNDER SEIGE

source Wildgrounds
When I think of Hong Kong Movies I think of good old fashioned crime/gangster thrillers like HardBoiled (John Woo) but I would never think I would see Hollywood style big action flicks with mutants that look like there in joke sumo sponge suits or if you pull at their arms & legs they'll be a stretch Armstrong. Well Benny Chan has went old school back to the 1980's eploitation  style movie with his new 70million Yuan blockbuster CITY UNDER SIEGE.
This movie does look like something out of a Spiderman or X-Men comic book and I beleive they where Chan's inspiration for the movie which can be described as over the top mutant action flick. They dont want to rule the world these mutants they just want to rob a bank and scary the living crap out of Hong Kong city whilst they do it!
I have to say this looks cheesy but fun! starring Aaron Kwok, Wu Jing, Colin Chou and Shu Qi the movie is scheduled for release in Hong Kong/China on August 6th, trailer after the break...

Zhang Ke Jia is a big favourite with the film festival network and his network continued into this years Cannes festival with the selected movie of I WISH I KNEW.

Now the movie is getting a theatrical release below after the break is the trailer, which does give an overall protrayl of Shnghai, China's largest populated city.

Shanghai, a fast-changing metropolis, a port city where people come and go. 

Shanghai has hosted all kinds of people – revolutionaries, capitalists, politicians, soldiers, artists, and gangsters. Shanghai has also hosted revolutions, assassinations, love stories.

After the Chinese Communists' victory in 1949, thousands of Shanghaiers left for Hong Kong and Taiwan. To leave meant being separated from home for thirty years; to stay meant suffering through the Cultural Revolution and China's other political disasters.

Well July 1st was Canada day and today is independence day in USA, well here in uk we dont really have dadys like that. The last few years have been hetic in American/world politics and when Barack Obama became president to many he was a revelation move on a year or two people question if he was the right but personally not the president the American economy was alot worse off than thought, a bit like the British one (but we were daft to vote in a right wing government that doesn't know the difference between there arse & elbow!.
So lets role back the years a young Obama is living in Indonesia with his parents and LITTLE OBAMA (Obama Anak Menteng) is a new movie which was released this weekend in Indonesia. It is based on an adaptation of Damian Dematra's fictionalized book which young Barack may have done whilts he lived in the country, nothing offical but still makes for a decent movie!

Cult Chilean Director Nicholas Lopez tells us ...F*CK MY LIFE, new trailer

source Twitch
Cult Chilean Film director Nicholas Lopez is feeling very nostalgic, romantic  and basically drunk with his new flick QUE PENA TU VIDA (Fuck My Life).
This romantic comedy is the one for the 'Facebook Generation', the generationof young people where everything that happens in your life has to be told online via Facebook or txt, they control your life, I can relate to this with previous job I had to work with younger people (early 20's) and everything they did was facebook this, facebook that. In this movie the guy of the movie  life seems to rotate getting laid even though he's unemployed and getting what he wants its good old Facebook! But his previous girlfriends/lovers are all over his page! He even had one lover thought she would be pregent as she stood on a used condom!
After the break you can watch the english subtitled trailer and as for the target audience Lopez want's well this movie will be a preview shown before the new upcoming Twilight movie in Chile! enough said!!!

Here's one for the True Blood Fans, here is Eric Northman or better known as Alexander Skarsgard and maybe you haven't seen his native Swedish side, a side of him you may haven't thought of. The clue is in the picture above, he's in a kimono either he plays someone with a slight feminite side but more likely to be sexually (over)active!
TRUST ME (aka Puss) is a movie directed by Johan Kling which can be described as a comical intake of sex, drugs, alcoholism, misdemeanors, acne, voyuerism, cleptomania and pregancy, mmm sounds like life, full stop!
Like the source I haven't a clue what there on about but the kimono is a clue to some comedy. Alexander does have family in this movie in the form of his other brother Gustaf and I think we can say down to been in one of America's most popular tv dramas im sure we'll see the movie in subtitle sometime!

Trailer 2 For Feng Xiaogang's AFTERSHOCK

source Twitchfilm
Its days like this I'm greatfull where I live (Scotland) for the sake that earthquakes have a 1% chance of ever happening in my country. Lets go to China the biggest populated country in the world, it's 1976 Tangshan City in Hebei province on July 28, the world's worst earthqauke destroy's the area with a 7.8 on richter scale killing nearly 250,000 people and injuring just as many, its a tragic event. 

Feng Xiaogang's movie AFTERSHOCK is centered around this event following the tragic events through the eyes of a little girl. This is not a disaster movie as in the sense of fictional Towering Inferno, this is based on a true event which no one ever wants to see but tragically does occour, this is a weepie folks an emotional rollercoaster ride.
The movie is due out on July 22nd in china and will be the country's first produced IMAX movie and the poster on the left is for the American release  as in when it is I dont have or even if there's a UK release too, hopefully there will be.

Takashi Yamazaki  will be a rich rich man as Yamato is so sacred to the Japanese like Coronation Street here in the UK, but like any national treasure you have to treat it with respect and make sure you dont spoil it.

The creators behind this movie are going big style on the special effects and what we see from the footage I'm mighty impressed! This will be a blockbuster movie in Japan and there lead been fromJapanese pop phenomenon SMAP, Takuya Kimura. 

For those not familar with Yamato you can look at it like a old school Battlestar Glactica but more darker as well as grimer.Check out the trailer after the break and this movie is heading for a December 1st release in Japan and due to the cult status the animation has in the West I do think we'll see a big following here as well.

He is transferred to Europe for interrogation but manages to escape from his captors and becomes an escaped convict on a continent he does not know.

Popular Danish Arthouse director Susanne Bier  known for been the director of  Brodre (Brothers, recently remade in hollywood with Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal), After The Wedding and Things We Lost in The Fire is returning to our screens with her latest movie HAEVEN.
Also known as In A Better World & Civilization is causing much confusion as in what the synopsis of the film as there's lack of English translation. The IMDB explanation doesn't really concide with the trailer, but I found this at Danish Film Insitute:

"In a Better World" traces elements from a refugee camp in Africa to the grey humdrum of everyday life in a Danish provincial town. The lives of two Danish families cross each other, and an extraordinary but risky friendship comes into bud. But loneliness, frailty and sorrow lie in wait, and soon friendship transforms into a dangerous alliance and a breathtaking pursuit in which life is at stake. 

The movie is due out in Denmark on August 27th with Sony Classics picking up the rights for USA, as for UK/Ireland or a release date, I dont have that now. check out the trailer after the break...

This trailer is bordering on full on weirdness but we love that sort of movies here at Cinehouse HQ! DOMAN SEMAN is the lastest movie from Gô Shibata (Late Bloomer), well it actually I think its already been out in its native Japan but it'll premiere at next month's Asian Film Festival in New York on July 5th.

Doman Seman revolves around a lazy no-gooder Shinsuke and his homeless mushroon eating friend Tsutomu who are enlisted by a magical spirit who presents himself as Mr.Abe the Yakuza magican to do battle against the evil & greed of modern society. Mr.Abe with his new 2 recruits along with an army of pyshic children must track down a man who tracks dark energy down to a murder this man commited when he was a teenager.

Very bizzare, symbolistic even a little occult here Shibata say's he was inspired by the works of David Lynch (yes obscure) and Spanish  Alejandro Jodorowsky  to create his magical world of realism,mmm!

China isn't renowned for been a centre of producing animation,thats animation in the same frame and to the same qaulity as there neighbours Japan . Every so often there always comes a project which could match that qaulity of the Japanese anime masters and below theres a trailer for a movie that could be one of those projects, its called KSITIGARBHA.
The movie has been directed by Wu Hanqing and will be released by Beijing based animation house Vasoon. Visually it does look it does look really great, wait until half way when the action kicks in, the only doubt I have in this movie is the actual story is it good enough as you know a good story is usually a good movie (well 75% of the time!). There's a biggest religious feel to the movie especially Bhuddism  definately one of caution, I would love to get my hands on this movie and many other movies but Im only a blogger!

Below is a teaser trailer for Spanish movie AGNOSIA which some websites are calling the next 'The Orphanage' or 'Pan's Labyrinth' well they are very close as the movie comes from the producers of those 2 movies Eugino Mira.

European Horror/thrillers especially Spanish ones over the last few years have been some of the best so when another one appears its does call out for our attention especially when the crap we see from hollywood be lucky to get 1 star (though there is a few good horror/thrillers in the indie movie scene).

If you like your movies dark,twisted, mind bending (not in the inception style), good story, beautifully shot maybe you should check out Agnosia, impressive is a word that springs to mind here.

Offical Trailer For Amir Bar-Lev's 'THE TILMAN STORY'

source Yahoo
The Weinstein Company (via Yahoo) have released the feature trailer for Amir Bar-Lev's documentary THE TILMAN STORY.
The documentary follows the life of Pat Tilman a promising American footballer who had a multi-million contract ahead of him who decides to join the army who get stationed in Afghanistan and is tragically killed. The details of how this man died (and like many other soldiers) remains a mystery and sadly his  tragic death was manipulated into a propaganda incident.
I'm not American but I have slight inkling about the story but dont know the reasons how this man who just thought it was right to do the what he beleived in serve his country was tragically killed and his death disrespected. According to other movie sites whom have seen this movie (8.5 out of 10 rating at this years sundance), it's a emtional  rollercoaster that people have to see.
Sounds like another governmental cover-up, the documentary is going to get a cinematical release in USA on August 20th, as for UK or Ireland there is no word but depending on its sucess stateside we may see a limited release.

Yo!Saigon! Trailer for Hip Hop drama ELECTRIC SAIGON

source TwitchFilm
Saigon Electric is the new indie drama from The Owl and the Sparrow director Stephane Gauger.
Gauger is a big fish in the arthouse-indie cinema network and he's teamed upwith Veitnamese Chanh Phuong Films to produce the county'r first ever hip-hop musical drama which is been lined up for a mid-December release, here's Gauger's description of the movie...

In my wish of telling universal stories with a global outlook and a distinctly Vietnamese point of view, the seeds of "Saigon Electric" were planted. Continuing the themes of my first narrative feature "Owl and the Sparrow", my hope is to create a visceral landscape of the hustle and bustle in modernized Vietnam. More than half of Vietnam's current population is under the age of eighteen, born after the American War. As the doors of the West have opened up to the nation and consumerism weaves its way into the value system, youth culture is seeping onto the streets of Vietnam. Hip-hop, graffiti artists, and punk rock are alive. My wish is to give these teenagers a voice and present to an international audience a fresh new look at the dreams and struggles of Asian youth.

A NewTrailer For Stuart Beattie's Tomorrow: When the War Began

source FirstShowing

Stuart Beattie might not be a recognisable name to some but he's the man who wrote the scripts for the Pirates of The Carribbean movies (arrgh him you say!) and Tomorrow: When the War Began is the Australian's directoral debut.
The movie is based on books of the same name by john Marsden with a few familar faces to British viewers with Caitlin Stasey (Rachel from Neighbours), Lincon Lewis (Geoff- Home & Away) and Rachel Hurd-Wood (Soloman Kane, Dorian Gray, Peter Pan). As usual as this movie is taken from popular books i've not read these books so I would personally see the movie first then read the books so not to be over critical of every little detail, but everyone has a preference .
MGM are skint and recent news that there remake of the 1985 movie is been put on hold (probably forever as they cant get a buyer), this is probably going to be the closest you'll get to a movie very similar to Red Dawn and apart from the odd cheesy over the top action /patriotism this does look like it'll be a good fun adaptation.
No news of a British or even American release date but September the 2nd the movie will be out in Austrailia and New Zealand.

I dont have much information on this little short, but Vermin is an excellent 22 minute short from actor/director Dean Francis . This dude did alot of work in Australia despite been born up north in Newcastle, but I have to say im utterly impressed, as an artist you create something to express yourself and this little short express Francis talent to create something off the wall which will disturb but will also get you enjoying the whole thing as well.
Vermin is shot in grey montone which gives the whole movie a very dystopian feel, all I can really say is watch and enjoy!!!

The UK Trailer For Adam Green's FROZEN

 source Thepeoplesmovies
One of my highlights of 2010 was the press access I got to the Glasgow Film festival, a chance to watch a diverse range of movies and one of those was Adam Green’s FROZEN.

Green is better known for his modern day slasher movie Hatchet (Hatchet 2 will be the closing movie of London Frightfest in London this august) but Frozen is a perfect example creating a low budget movie using a simple idea and creating some intense as well at time pyschological. This maybe a horror-thriller movie but is an example any budding movie makers should take note of.

Green was meant to be there in person at the screening in Glasgow but he got snowed under and got stuck in a new york airport so his good friend Tim Sullivan director of 2001 Maniacs:Field of Screams (movie which was shown after frozen) did the honours.

Its a Second Life Drama, Trailer for R U THERE

Source QuietEarth
Before you say anything this is n't a trailer for a second life online game trailer, its actually a movie not about the website but movie did screen at Cannes this year and did get a decent positive response.

R U THERE tells the story of Jitze (20), a professional gamer who travels around the world to compete in video game tournaments. During a stay in Taipei he unexpectedly witnesses an accident which resembles those he re-enacts in his video games on a day to day basis; this confronts him with his own mortality and his world is suddenly shaken by reality, in a violent way. He meets an intriguing Taiwanese woman in the hotel bar where he is staying, never quite figuring out whether she is an escort, masseuse or bettle nut girl. He tries to get close to her but only manages to do so in the virtual world, on Second Life which they both visit. - imdb

UK Trailer For Sylvain Chomet’s Animated Feature THE ILLUSIONIST

source ThePeoplesMovies
Tomorrow Evening in Edinburgh the oldest film festival in the world kicks off, only been 1 hours drive away I’m kicking myself that I couldn’t get my press passess plus the movies I want to see are full, but my work abroad saw I didnt get things sorted. The opening movie will be an animated one and below is the UK Trailer for the movie called ‘The illusionist‘ created by Sylvain Chomet.
Chomet’s visual style is just delightful like the old watercolour/pen drawing traditional style, the storytelling is great as well very inspired by the Great Jacques Tati like his movies Mr Hurlot’s Holiday, just angry I wont be able to see it as well.

The story of the movie is the illisionists are a ‘dying breed’ of entertainer’s been replaced by the in your face rock stars and the main protaganist of the movie meets one of his young fans and his life changes, delightfully simply but very charming. 

Sony Classics will be releasing the movie via the cinemas stateside probally in the autumn as for UK or Ireland there’s no news yet.

New Trailer For Sofia Coppola's SOMEWHERE

source ThePeoplesMovies
In 2004 Sofia Coppola was hot property with her fantastic award winning Lost In Translation, roll on a few years it was a downward spiral with Marie Antoinette which was simply dull & lacklusture. So now 2010 we have SOMEHWERE her new flick with Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning which looks like she’s back on familar territory (also back with American Zoetrope Films the studio who created the movie).
Ok what she did on Lost in Translation she may never exactly copy the same sucess but she can emulate some of that magic she created and watching the trailer does have that indie sense of feeling whilst watching along with a very laidback soundtrack. Nice to see Stephen Dorff as a leading man again he aint a Bill Murray but this movie may just help him get noticed for some better movies in the near future.Is this movie Coppola back her best form or will it be another bites the dust?

Somewhere will be out stateside December 22nd, no UK/Irish release date yet and the movie also has Benico Del Toro & Michelle Monagan making an appearance as well. Check the trailer out after the break....

Source Wildgrounds &TwitchFilm
There's only so many remake's one can get excited about in the era of virtually every new movie is a remake, prequel of an old one 13 ASSASSINS is one we're rather excited about.
The updated version has been directed by Takashi Miike  (audition, ichi the killer)and  has been described as the 'dirty dozen set in the samuri era', well thats enough to get me excited about it! When the movie is already a classic and with quite a few of the most inspirational movies of all time coming from the land of the rising sun, you'll have to tread on thin ice not to be disrespectful to the original but also pay homage but add your touch as well.

A group of assassins come together for a suicide mission to kill an evil lord.

The movie will be out in Japan September 25th and is sure to be a massive hit, so check out the new teaser trailer after the break plus the first full trailer which came out the week before as well...
