Low Budget Killer in Norway's DARK SOULS

source Twitch
Online, in magazines we get to see what mainstream movies have to offer or at least think they have to offer, one thing at my blog I like to cover trailers for movies from many continents & countires including Scandinavia. I do my best to try cover all levels of film making but I will say alot of low budget flicks dont seem to get alot of airtime and Scandinavians do have there fare share of low budget movies including this one DARK SOULS( Mørke sjeler).
Alot of low budget movies get made of all genres and they get dished out ten a penny majority just plain crap unwatchable but there's always the odd one that stands out worthy of mention and  Mathieu Peteul and César Ducasse's Dark Souls is one of them.
 The movie is doing the tour of the film festivals worldwide picking up a few awards on its tour and from the trailer below you can see the movie is very gritty and is not scared of throwning in a bit of brutality. Black and Decker should get this as a promo ad for their drills as there plenty on view but are the victims are they zombies? I dont think so a little bit like the critters from that dodgy 1980's flick with Patrik Stewart Lifeforce crossed with the affect from 28 Days Later, mmm? Trailer after the break...

Today's victim will killed by ....THE SATURDAY KILLER!!!

sourceTwitch
Thailand is famous alot of things Great sunshine, great food, and ehh ladyboys but they are good at mashups of various genres and there's one director who is the master at it and thats Yuthlert Sippapak.
It was the name of this movie intrigued me SATURDAY KILLER and how Sippapak's doing back to back sequels (i:e Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,etc....) matching comedians with beautiful young starlets. Each movie had a slight variation and oddly the movies werent released in order of the days there killer was based on either?!
As i what the actual story is all about, your guess is good as mines, I wonder if this is a funnier version of Smokin' Aces?

Is Joaquin Phoenix really still here, check out the trailer for I'M STILL HERE and find out

source THEPEOPLESMOVIES
So is he still here, yes he is but was he ever lost? good question as Magnolia Pictures release the Csey Affleck directed I’M STILL HERE the documentary on the ‘lost year’ of Joaquin Phoenix.
The question is this year really a documentary of a mockamentary as a sucessfull a-list actor at a cross roads of his life drops out of the movies to become a rap star under the management of P-Diddy aka sean Combs. Is this Phoenix giving the movie world the finger or is it a glorified arthouse film showning us the breakdown of a talented but troubled actor whose let himself goe mentally as well as pyshically?

I’m Still Here will shock you, rivet you, make you cringe as well as make you laugh, is there anyway back for Phoenix? The documentary will be released stateside September 10th, but no word if the movie will see the light of day in UK & Ireland but im sure if its successfull it will.

Trailer For Edward Burns Indie Comdey NICE GUY JOHNNY

Source ThePlaylist
Ed Burns is one of those actors who just seems to pop out of knowhere in a movie then suddenly disappear, he seems to be that actor that people remember his face but cant remember his name then a few weeks later you say to yourself "Whatever happen to that actor xxx?" I'm one of those people did it on saturday after watching Saving Private Ryan on tv one thing I didnt realise he also directed, produced and writes too and below is the trailer for his new movie NICE GUY JOHNNY.
The movie focuses on Johnny (played by Matt Bush the guy who kept punching Jesse Eisenberg in the balls in Adventureland) who is on the verge of giving up his dream job in the attempt to please his fiancee and if he cant get that dream job as a radio talkshow host he'll head off to New York to a jo set up by his fiancee's father.Johnny's uncle terry (Burns) is annoyed and he attempts to save his nephew from a life of punching in and out for a living and he goes on an adventure and meets Brooke (Bishe)
Personally this movie and whole set up sounds very generic, more action in King of The Hill than this bland story and the actual trailer doesnt help much either is probably why this movie isn't getting a cinematic release just straight to VOD stateside on October 26th, trailer after the break...

Trailer for John Woo's REIGN OF ASSASSINS

Since John Woo decided to move back into the Hong Kong/Chinese movie market I feel a sense of confidence, happiness, a man back on form. Woo'smovie seem to have moved back up to the top where they belong and he is a fine example that Hollywood isn't the dreammaker many filmakers & actors see Hollywood as. Its dogeatdog world and if you hack it on the first attempt and keep the momentum going dreams turn to knightmares.
Bought Red Cliff last week on DVD and if you give me anything set in China when chivlary is in order with John Woo behind the lens Im sold!

The movie is about a teenage girl (Dennings) moves to a rural town (currently been plagued by a serial killer) where she has an affair with a teacher (Lucas).I dont if the killer is just a spin off/ background story or the affair will get entangled into the killers path who knows interesting twist.

Apart from the movie going to be at TIFF 2010 there is no word yet as and when this flick will be released apart from it been 2011.

Trailer For Movie Gegege no Nyobo

source NipponCinema
Comicbook artists in the west in general may not have celebity status such as a movie star, a few are well known and may get close to celeb status with hollywood current liking to all things comicbook, But in Japan comicbook artist or Manga artists actually do have celeb status like many movie stars and below is a trailer of an expample of that status.
Gegege no Nyobo is an autobiographical look at Shigeru Mizuki the creator of 'Gegege no Nyobo' wife Nunoe. The movie is an adaptation of the television series of the same name which is running on japanese national television at this moment and the movie does also follow the years Mizuki toiled in becoming a famous artist and the hardship both had to go through as well.

TIFF 2010: Trailer For THAT GIRL IN YELLOW BOOTS

source QuietEarth
Below is the trailer for Anurag Kashyap’s latestmovie THAT GIRL IN YELLOW BOOTS.Im sure many non-indian movies fans when you think of India you'll automatically think this is a Bollywood movie and will be full of big majestic song & dance number, think again.
This movie is an thriller about a young girl who searches  for her father but then finds herself working in a massage parlour. This is not your average Indian movie and Kashyap is not scared to delve into controversy with diving deep into the dark underbelly of Indian society and I'm sure this will have a few of India's version's of Mary Whitehouse standing on their high moral grounds wanting this movie scrapped.
Well if there is a ruckus in Indian media the international media are more curious that movie is to play this years Toronto Film Festival and Venice Film festival too!
The trailer is a slow burner but then picks up some momentum, trailer after the break....

This sounds absolutely crazy but the insane you just have to check out what this is all about and a good part of the movie I understand is all about Elvira's relationship with her husband and the fact the Blender (voiced by Selton Mello) has been observing them plus he knows her darkest deep secrets too!. After efforts to look like her hubby has just vanished I think we can say they'll be a comedy of errors on show as things just go downhill, check out the trailer after the break...

Trailer For Tomoyuki Takimoto‘s Soup Oprea

What I love about having a movie blog is the diversity of movies you see worldwide, some with titles or genre you may find unusal until you actually watch the movie. Japan has probably the most diversed movie market in the world and virtually everything that can be made into a movie is made into a movie.
Tomoyuki Takimoto‘s Soup Opera is a comedy starring Maki Sakai, Mariko Kaga, Takahiro Nishijima, and Tatsuya Fuji which is based on a novel of the same name by Sawako Agawa. .

The movie is about Rui (sakai) a single 35 year old woman who is forced to live alone after her aunt decides to move and get remarried. Through certain circumstances Rui ends up with new roommates Tony (Fuji) and aeging ladies man and Kosiuke (Nishijima) and this is when the real fun begins!

Another Brilliant Looking Alien InvasionMovie Concept Trailer for LAST DEFENDER

source QuietEarth
There's not much info on this but what we can see it looks good!!! Above is an 'concept' trailer for a sci-fi Invasion movie THE LAST DEFENDER which comes from the Fathouse Studios. What we can see is the invaders look like giant robots, very similar to the ones from Evagellion the classic meccha anime from Japan and it makes me wonder if thats where the inspiration comes from, hopefully not Transformers. I wonder if they will be pods for the invading aliens like in War of The Worlds. Ive been watching reruns of the classic V tv series on syfy but I keep missing the updated version as I always seem to go abroad when its on, so something similar to V would be great. The footage there isnt much just a taster and the news reporters in the trailer try to decipher what they are and if there a hoax or not, mmm

This year's Oscar ceremony the award for Best foreign movie raised a few eyebrows when relatively unknown outside its native Argentina when El secreto de sus ojos (The Secret In Their Eyes) won the award.
The movie was quickly snapped up up by Sony Picture Classics label and quickly started to do the rounds around the world why it deserved the award beating off the likes of Ajami, A Prophet, White Ribbon and The Milk of Sorrow. I remember the ceremony well with the presenter assuming White Ribbon or A Prophet was going to win and her shock when it went to the Argentian movie.
The movie is now finally going to be released cinematically on Friday in UK & Ireland and I've just had a read of the Empire magazine review and they gave it a 5/5 and I hope to check it out myself on Friday. Synopsis and trailer after the break...

American Trailer for Gasper Noe's ENTER THE VOID

Source affenheimtheater
Just last week I posted the poster and opening credits for Gasper Noe's ENTER THE VOID, well today IFC Films have posted the offical American trailer for the film which you can check out after the break.

This is Noe'slong awaited follow up movie since the  controversial Irreversible which premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film festival. I dont know why its taken so long for the movie to get an American distributor (still no sign of a UK release though) possibly a sign of how difficult a movie to promote or simply the directors reputation prevails.This marketing is however less risque than the Japanese one which did portray alot of the movies sexual nature though this version does play up on the drug side of things

The trailer does a fantastic job promoting the movie well I do love the strobe lighting, colour scheme of the movie which is a brilliant repersentation of the Tokyo Nightlife where the movie is based in. IFC Films are giving this flick a limited release stateside from September 24th.

Yimou Zhang and typically Chinese they concentrate more on the humour factor rather the drama  and guess what American fans can catch this movie as it goes on a limited release on September 3rd as for UK &Ireland there is no word, more likely direct to DVD.

If you are a lover of movies or a student of film studies if you were to study one movie to learn about film making especially how to creat a dystopian sci-fi , you should look no further than METROPOLIS.

During September as well October special screeenings/educational screenings will take place all around UK & Ireland  and you can find the full list of screenings on the specially made website .

Trailer For The Collective Consciousness With...... 0000

Unusal but different is how I would describe this indie sci-fi project. 0000 is the movie of director Eddie Alcazar and it's a project himself and his team has been working on for the last few years, get a concept work on it until things gel and become right.
Below( after the break) is some test footage  and it does look very impressive, bleak, dystopian most of all very unique and its helped it shot on a 16mm camera. The principal photography will start shortly in October, I just feel frustrated that alot of these movies which look so good Ill never see here in UK for reviewing or viewing purposes (unless some good soul would post screening copies)

The mind of one man will galvanize a global revolution. His technology will birth a new era of human existence and social connection, but this great gift is rooted in dark tragedy. If he is to survive, he will need the help of many, and if we are to survive, our awareness must grow.

First Look At The Pang Brother's CHILD'S EYE (3D)

source Filmsmash
The Pang Brothers are at it again with there third movie of their Eye Franchise with THE CHILD'S EYE (3D).
The brother's had a hit with the first movie and it was that sucessfull we even had a Hollywood remake with Jessica Alba in the lead role but for movie 2 they couldn't keep the momentum going. You could say they are asian horror's version of M.Night Shyalamalan great first movie and very hit or miss with the projects the coame after it it (solo as well as together).
14th October the third installment will be out and could this be the movie to push them back up the ladder or will it be their The Last Airbender? Apart from having a poor sequel the movie has something  it against it already....Its in 3D!!!

The Child’s Eye 3D stars Elanne Kwong, Rainie Yang, Shawn Yue, and Ka Tung Lam.

Stranded in Thailand by the political uprising and airport closure, Rainie and her friends were unable to return home. Unwillingly, they stayed in an aged and shabby hotel.
Among them was Rainie’s almost-breakup boyfriend, Lok; Ling and her brother Rex, and Ciwi and her beloved boyfriend, Hei.
From the moment they checked in the hotel… they came across three weird children and a puppy, and strange things happened once after another………

First Trailer For Song Hae-sung's Korean remake of A Better Tomorrow - INVINCBLE

source FILMSMASH
Song Hae-sung''s Korean remake of the classic John Woo Hong-Kong thriller noir A BETTER TOMORROW, now called INVINCBLE has its first trailer.
The talk of the movie has stirred up a few corners as the original movie (as well as movie 2) have some iconic scenes which some up the whole reason why Hong Kong thriller/action flicks have such a massive following worldwide. According to the director only the characters as well as the basic set up of the story remaining with the rest having a modern retake on the original, I think their treading on eggshells as the 1980's feel and look of the movie madeit so good.
As it's Korean the badguys in this version will be North Korean special forces entering the world of organised crime, mmm what do you think guys?

Anyway check out the trailer after the break...

Been quite a year for Greek cinema oversea's with Dogtooth, Blackfield and Attenberg all making their mark overseas through the festival circuit as well as cinematic releases and now we can add another movie Yiannis Economidis’s Mahairovgaltis.
This is actually more cypriot than Greek but there doing something well in the Greek speaking parts of the world and when you watch this trailer at first it comes across as a very obscure trailer like everyone is having staring matches, even the dogs! There's always the annoying music gives th impression of a Arthouse movie, a little bit like a Jim Jamusch movie then about halway through the action kick's in.
It’s the story of Nick, a man who lives in the country; a man who lives for the here and now. When his father dies, he’s urged to leave small town life behind and head to Athens where his uncle offers him food, board and an easy job but Nick's life takes a sharp turn once he arrives in the metropolis.
The movie was released last week in Greece but I wont be surpised 2011 the movie will be doing the international festival circuit around the world.
