There are many good reasons to see David Lowery’s Ain’t Them Bodies Saints, opening today. Many of those are articulated in David Barker’s interview with Lowery and Anthony Kaufman’s interview with its D.P., Bradford Young, but here’s another: this single film displays the work of more of our 25 New Faces than any other picture. Here’s that list: Jay Van Hoy & Lars Knudson. Now mainstays of the independent scene, New York-based Jay Van Hoy and Lars Knudsen were, in 2006, the first producers to appear on the “25 New Faces” list. At the time the Parts and Labor team […]...

How do you bring an iconic, nearly decade-old comedy series to a close? That was the huge task assigned to Office showrunner and executive producer Greg Daniels, and as one might expect, he didn’t take the responsibility lightly.
“There are so many great characters that we all really cared about, so the biggest task was finding a story structure where they could have stories inside of it that would pay off and fit it all into the time frame,” he told EW last night at the show’s series-finale wrap party, which took place just hours after the show shot its final scene.

The above headline has nothing to do with the porn industry, so we figured we'd get that out of the way first. What we're talking about here is a new Aussie thriller starring a familiar face from the "Hatfields & McCoys."
According to Deadline, Sam Reid (pictured) is in negotiations to play a rebellious prophet who becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation in writer-director David Barker’s The Second Coming. Sarah Snook (Jessabelle) will play a friend of Reid’s character, Joe Panther.
Due to shoot in Australia in early 2013, the film is based on a novel by Andrew Masterson. The Second Coming is produced by Aquarius Films’ Angie Fielder (Wish You Were Here). More as it comes.

The producer of new Australian film The Second Coming has announced the dystopian noir’s two leading cast members.
Angie Fielder, who produced Kieran Darcy-Smith’s Wish You Were Here, with Second Coming’s writer/director David Barker have cast Sam Reid in the lead as Joe Panther and Sarah Snook as Panther’s best friend Laz.
Fielder told Encore: “They both did incredible screen tests. Plus Sarah just did such a great performance in Not Suitable For Children, and she got down to the final three actors to play Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, so there is quite a bit of heat around her in the film industry. And Sam is also a star on the rise.”

Sam Reid and Sarah Snook have been cast in the lead roles for prospective Australian apocalyptic-noir The Second Coming.
The anouncement comes as the film project has just passed the halfway mark of a 42-day crowdfunding campaign, which has so far raised just over 50 per cent of its $75,000 minimum. The producers are attempting to raise $200,000 total.
It looms as another test for the ability of crowdfunding to both promote bigger screen projects while growing a fan base. South Australian-filmed horror feature The Babadook just scraped over the line with its $30,000 crowdfunding campaign last month.
The Second Coming, based on Andrew Masterson's novel about a man who believes he is Jesus and is then forced to clear his name after becoming a murder suspect, is planned to commence shooting next year.

Deepak Rauniyar’s Highway, which premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival 2012, was recently screened at the Osian’s Cinefan Film Festival. Credited with making the first Nepali film to travel to one of the top festivals in the world, Berlinale, Deepak Rauniyar tells us more about Highway:
What was the starting point for the film?
In 2009, I happened to be on a road trip from east Nepal to the capital, Kathmandu. Our journey was obstructed by three different ‘bandhs’, organized by three different groups in three different parts of the country. This was when my colleagues Kedar Sharma, Khagendra Lamichhane and I started talking about the idea for this film, Highway. I felt that by setting a story against the backdrop of this new ‘bandh’ culture, I would not only be able to explore physical ‘bandhs’, but also explore the mental/psychological ‘bandhs’ that many of us seem to be facing these days.

Iron Man. The Hulk. Thor. After years of lackluster superhero movies (Daredevil, anyone? Anyone?), Marvel turned the knob up to eleven the past few years, and has kept it there with a string of well thought out films that weave together a shared mythology as well as an ever-growing fan base. Captain America: The First Avenger builds up that positive momentum and whips it into a frenzy of action, adventure and plain-old fun.
Pity poor Steve Rodgers. He’s the 98-pound-weakling that the weaklings in the old Atlas ads used to beat up for lunch money. With a string of health problems as long as his skinny little arm, there’s no way any recruiter during World War II would ever sign him up; Uncle Sam Wants…somebody else. That doesn’t keep Steve from trying though, and one night he’s overheard talking to his friend Bucky (a Greatest...

Few people will disparage an expectant mother. People are people, good and bad, but there's something majestic, alluring, and graceful about a pregnant female. It's some inexplicable aura that surrounds them, a soft soothing light that alters the mood of anyone they come in contact with. A meaningful moment with one is akin to a divine experience. It's this logic that permeates David Barker's "Daylight." Daniel (Aidan Redmond) and the expecting Irene (Alexandra Meierhans) share a tender, expository moment in their bedroom as the morning light nudges them conscious. With plans to participate in a family member's wedding, Daniel dreads…...

Online is no longer a detour for television content; it is now a destination in its own right. Georgina Pearson reports.
Barely five years ago, to suggest that a series created purely for an online platform could outperform a top rating Us TV show would be almost laughable. Now, with the internet swiftly becoming a primary source of video content, video is not just being replayed online – it is being produced specifically for it. And as online audiences grow faster than anyone can keep up, a gap of opportunity has opened for the taking.
Globally, web series such lonelygirl15, The Guild and Legion of Extraordinary Dancers (Lxd) have drawn a fan-base to rival any primetime TV drama. Raking in millions of views, they have not only helped kickstart
a niche industry, but have highlighted the huge potential other such shows could possibly have. It’s such serious business that an...

Star of the recent blockbuster Tomorrow, When The War Began, Andy Ryan, was approached by his pal Matt Okine with a favour. "Matt rang me up and asked ‘if I would like to do this little thing next week,'" the actor recalls. "As it turns out that ‘little thing' was five long 12 hour days, but I have never had so much fun in my life!" This "little thing" was The Future Machine, a made-for-web series created by director David Barker, comedian Matt Okine and Tropfest finalist Tom Sheldrick. The digital series - containing eight episodes each four minutes in duration - are released online over a month.
