A documentary covering the 1993 Friday the 13th sequel Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (Watch It Here – OWN It Here) has been in the works for quite a while, and about eight months ago Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus took to social media to give a promising update on its progress, saying that it was about to go through the color timing and sound mixing stages of post-production. It has been longer than expected, but now Marcus has given another update, letting fans know that the color timing and sound mixing are finally happening this month.
Before the week began, Marcus wrote, “The doc just went through legal and has been approved. Which means we are officially Locked! This means the film is completed from an editing stage and we’ve taken all the steps to ensure that the film meets all the standards to be released.

Gilmore Girls launched Adam Shapiro’s acting career. While in college, Shapiro did a walk-on role on The Andy Dick Show, but Gilmore Girls started his process of auditioning and landing roles. He’d have much more dialogue in subsequent roles, but Shapiro remembers his one line on Gilmore Girls being especially challenging.

Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs appeared on two episodes of Gilmore Girls as Principal Merton. Merton was the principal of Jess (Milo Ventimiglia)’s high school. Hilton-Jacobs thought they were looking for a female principal, so he was surprised he ended up getting the role, let alone coming back a second time.

By the time she appeared on Gilmore Girls, Mädchen Amick was more than your average guest star. She was a veteran of Twin Peaks and several movies. Amick played Sherry Tinsdale, Christopher (David Sutcliffe)’s fiance. While Christopher was already separated from Lorelai (Lauren Graham) by that point, that didn’t mean she was welcome in Stars Hollow. Amick had a slightly different take, though.

Gilmore Girls was an hour long drama, but with such witty dialogue it was equal parts comedy. That is, it was comedy for the audience. The actors still had to play it as straight drama, because it was their lives. Even the best of us break from time to time. Third time was the charm for Gilmore Girls guest star Rusty Schwimmer, after two other auditions for the show. Once she filmed, Schwimmer said there was one co-star who could make her break on the show.

The Perfect Storm star Diane Lane paid tribute today to its director Wolfgang Petersen, who died Friday at 81.
Wolfgang Petersen: A Career In Photos
“My heart is sad today,” she said in a statement to Deadline. “Wolfgang was a big, loving soul. A natural leader via positive encouragement; dare I say, he was a spiritual channel for us, grounding truly big stories to move us all through heights and depths. Literally, just being near him made me a better actor. My sincere condolences and love to his family.”
The Oscar-nominated actress was the female lead in The Perfect Storm, which starred George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and John C. Reilly as commercial fisherman from small-town Massachusetts who get caught in a freak North Atlantic weather event that never had happened in recorded history. The film detailed the men’s battle for survival as multiple storms collided and the desperate attempt to...

, “The Short History of the Long Road” begins with a peaceful image of a young woman, whose long locks float over sunny pool waters. But her serenity gets cut short by her dad before she can fully immerse in the calm of the moment. And soon enough, the time comes for the duo to hit the road again in their vintage refurbished Rv, not even giving the teenager time to finish her hot dog, cooked on a grubby grill that has seen better days.
With startling narrative economy — and a boost from Maurice Williams’ buoyant track “Come Along” — this brief opening to writer-director Ani Simon-Kennedy (“Days of Gray”) makes it unambiguous that the vacant house whose grounds the father-daughter had just enjoyed doesn’t belong to them and these interruptions are ordinary in the life of Nola. Evidently raised on the road by her on-the-move father Clint (Steven Ogg), who...

"Not everyone wants to live like this..." FilmRise has released an official trailer for an indie drama titled The Short History of the Long Road, which originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. It also played at the Nashville, Lone Star, Fly Over, and Chicago Critics Film Festivals in 2019. The film stars singer / actress Sabrina Carpenter as Nola, a teen who lives on the open road with her nomad father in a refurbished Rv. She arrives solo in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where she goes in search of a mother she never knew. The cast includes Steven Ogg, Danny Trejo, Maggie Siff, Rusty Schwimmer, and Jashaun St. John. This looks like another of these cliche indie films where a beautiful teen runs off and learns about how to figure out yourself and live your own life.

There are so many horror movies released every week – even just in the UK, I’m sure there’s many more released worldwide – it’s a shame that a huge percentage of these wont be seen by as many people as they maybe deserve to be, solely because it might not be top of a long list of films people will see at some point. So I always enjoy watching as many as the smaller indie genre movies as I possibly can and 30 Miles From Nowhere is one of these.

I've been hearing nothing but great things about this movie from people who I know who have seen it. I have yet to see if for myself, but judging from the buzz spreading, it's going to deliver some insanely blood-soaked entertainment.
We have a red-band clip for you to watch today called "All In My Mind," and it gives you a little tease of the messed-up and disturbing violence that I've heard this film is filled with. It focuses on Sean Gunn's character in the middle of a crazy shootout that he doesn't want to believe is really happening. Check it out:
The Belko Experiment explores a twisted social experiment "in which a group of 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogata and ordered by an unknown voice on an intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed. It’s not...

80 people. One workplace. One new priority on the agenda: kill your co-workers. Office employees experience something much more agonizing than "a case of the Mondays" in the official trailer for The Belko Experiment.

Before he kicks off next year’s summer movie season with Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, another serving of James Gunn will be arriving in theaters a few months prior. The Belko Experiment, directed by Greg McLean (Wolf Creek), is scripted and produced by the Slither director and follows a social experiment that turns deadly. Ahead of a March release the first red band trailer, which sets up the horrific scenario with the wit one might expect from Gunn and company.
We said in our Tiff review, “Yet the problem comes with tone.

A bunker could be a sanctuary or a prison in 10 Cloverfield Lane. With Paramount Home Media Distribution releasing the film on a Blu-ray / DVD / Digital HD combo pack today, Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with actor John Gallagher Jr., who plays Emmett in the film, about improvising with Mary Elizabeth Winstead and John Goodman, unknowingly becoming a part of the Cloverfield franchise, and his respective roles in Hush and The Belko Experiment, the latter of which he refers to as “Office Space meets The Purge.”
Can you tell me how you got involved with this project? My understanding was that it wasn’t initially a Cloverfield movie, so what attracted you to this story and character?
John Gallagher Jr.: I checked my email one day, and saw that my agent had sent me a script to take a look at. The working title was Valencia, but then there was a parenthetical that said, “aka The Cellar.” I was intrigued by both of the titles, and I started to see some of the names that were involved, and of course, you can’t help but have a name like J.J. Abrams leap out at you when you’re looking at that.
I finished the script and I thought it was amazing, and then I met the director, Dan Trachtenberg. We hit it off, and I could tell that he had a great vision for the movie, and I believed that he could do it, and then I saw a short film that he made that proved to me that he absolutely had a lot of vision and some serious chops. For someone who had never made a feature film before, I totally believed that he had it in him to do it.
Then I found out that John Goodman and Mary Elizabeth Winstead had signed on, and my first thought was, “I don’t think you could find two better people for those roles.” They’re pitch-perfect. I’ve been a big fan of both of theirs for years, and absolutely believed that they would do some fantastic things for the roles. Then I sent in an audition tape and crossed my fingers that I would get the gig, and I did, and it was as much of a joy as it was reading it. Making the movie itself was absolutely a joy. It was so much fun.
At the time, I had no idea that I was signing up to be part of the legacy of Cloverfield, and that I would be in the spiritual successor to the film. I had no clue that any of that was coming. Even after we wrapped the movie, I didn’t find out for about another year that we had entered into the “Cloververse”, as it’s been referred to in the past. I just thought I was lucky enough to be in one thing, and then it turned out that I was lucky enough to be in this whole other thing. It was such a roller coaster ride, and a total organic series of surprises, being involved in it.
Some of my favorite scenes had to be when the three of you were having dinner. It really is a testament to how great all three of you are as actors and how well you jelled. Can you talk about how the three of you worked together on those scenes? Was it pretty much all in the script or was there a lot of improv?
John Gallagher Jr.: We would get drafts as we were getting closer and closer to shooting it, and things would get rewritten here and there, but in every draft there was one version of this dinner scene gone wrong, of these three people trying to sit down and have what, in the frame, initially looks like an ideal family dinner. Of course it isn’t, and it devolves rather quickly.
We didn’t have any rehearsal going into the movie. We’d just get there on the day of and talk through the scene. Dan totally encouraged us to improvise with each other, and in fact, some of the stuff that I say to John, and some of the conversations I have with Mary, is stuff that got improvised.
We started referencing board games in that [dinner] scene, which was in the script, but then Dan was like, “just keep going, and just throw in different board games and start to improvise about the board games we played,” and so Mary started talking about Trouble and the Pop-o-Matic bubble, and then I started talking about Operation, and we just kept going off of that with each other. There are things in that scene that actually ended up being improvised moments that they ended up keeping when they were editing it together. Those were some of my favorite moments, shooting those scenes where we really just got to sit and talk to each other.
Genre audiences got to see some different sides of you this year, as you starred in two very different types of roles for 10 Cloverfield Lane and Hush. As an actor, what types of roles do you look for to challenge yourself? How important is it to take on roles that are less comfortable for you?
John Gallagher Jr.: It really just begins with the script. If there’s something about it that jumps out at me and feels original and exciting, that’s something that I would like to see. The truth is that I don’t necessarily want to be recognized as a personality, as somebody watching a movie and going, “Oh, here’s that guy again, cool, I like this guy.” I’d rather have people go, “Wait, is that the guy from that other thing?” I like to change and evolve and challenge myself, and hopefully surprise myself in the end, and I like to do things that are a little scary. It’s really terrifying to have that feeling where you go, “Oh my god, can I do this? I don’t know if I can do this, but I’m going to try, because I want to try.”
I finished Cloverfield in November or December, and then in February or March, I got a call saying that this script had come in, and Mike Flanagan had offered me the role of a masked, nameless, psychotic serial killer with no background or motive, and I thought, “Why did they want me to do this?” I’ve never done anything like this. I’ve wanted to. I had to try to convince people to let me play bad guys for years, and nobody ever took the bait. Mike Flanagan, who wrote and directed Hush, asked me if I would, and I totally leapt at the chance. He was like, “I think we should give you a tattoo, shave your head, and I said, “Sounds great, sign me up. Let’s go to the barber right now.” Let’s find out a way to make this character seem scary, but also real in a sense.
I felt really, really lucky that I got to do such different things back-to-back that people have been digging this year.
After Hush and 10 Cloverfield Lane, a lot of people are wondering what’s next for you. Do you have any genre projects coming up?
John Gallagher Jr.: I’m doing a play on Broadway right now with Jessica Lange and Michael Shannon and Gabriel Byrne. We’re doing Long Day’s Journey into Night, the Eugene O’Neill play, and we’ve only got two and a half more weeks left of doing it, but we’ve been doing it since April.
Then, I filmed a movie last year called The Belko Experiment that’s an MGM film written by James Gunn, who wrote and directed Guardians of the Galaxy, among other great things that he’s done, and directed by Greg McLean, who directed the Wolf Creek movies, which are these really freaky Australian horror movies.
We shot that last year in Colombia, and that’s got a great cast: Tony Goldwyn, John C. McGinley, Michael Rooker, David Dastmalchian, Rusty Schwimmer, Brent Sexton, lots of really fantastic actors. It’s a huge ensemble. I would describe it as Office Space meets The Purge.
It’s funny, I did a lot of dramas and small, character-based indie films in the last year, and then somehow, last year I ended up doing three genre pictures back-to-back, which was a total surprise to me, but it’s been an absolute joy working in that field, because it’s the kind of movies that I’ve been watching since I was a teenager, so it’s been really fun to start working a little bit more in that medium.

Shooting an action/horror/thriller movie in the Colombian capital Bogota sounds like a potentially scary experience. Not at all, according to Wolf Creek creator Greg Mclean, who spent three months in the country working on The Belko Experiment. Funded by MGM and written and produced by Guardians Of The Galaxy.s James Gunn, the movie focuses on the Us Belko Corporation in South America, whose employees mysteriously are forced to either start killing each other or be killed. .We had no security for cast or crew - we didn't need it,.

'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' poster. With Daniel Radcliffe. Rupert Grint. Emma Watson. 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' quiz question: Does state-of-the-art CGI equal movie magic? (Oscar Movie Series) Alfonso Cuarón seems like an odd choice for director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the third installment in the Harry Potter movie series. That is, if one thinks only of Cuarón's pre-Harry Potter sleeper hit, the François Truffaut-esque Y tu mamá también, while ignoring two of his earlier efforts, the critically acclaimed A Little Princess and the moderately respected Great Expectations. This time around, working with a reported $130 million budget (approx. $163 million in 2015), state-of-the-art special effects, and the Harry Potter franchise, Cuarón surely could do no wrong. At the box office, that is. For although Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is stylistically superior to Chris Columbus' previous work in the series,...

"Louie" has got to have the highest laugh-to-wince ratio in the history of televised comedy.
The FX series, which begins its second season at 10:30 p.m. Et Thursday (June 23), looks a little more polished than it did in its first go-round last year. Star-writer-director-editor Louis C.K. is also giving his stories a little more room: Three of the first four episodes FX sent out for review are dedicated to a single story, as opposed to the two-vignette structure C.K. used about half the time last season.
But it's still just about the most painfully funny show on TV, as C.K. continues to mine his experiences as a working comic and divorced father of two girls for sometimes hilarious, sometimes morose and constantly sharply observed slices of life.

Okay, I'm going to try and keep calm. Calmer than I was last night when I e-mailed my colleagues at Ae about this with the subject line "Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg! Omg!" As someone who's a tad obsessed with the 80's, I was thrilled when SyFy announced their dueling Tiffany/Debbie Gibson mega-creature movies, even if I thought the finished products were disappointing. Now comes word that ... just breathe ... both pop princesses are teaming up for the new SyFy sure-to-be classic ... wait for it ... Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid
Editor's note: Snicks is not kidding. That was the subject line of his email. When I got it I thought, "Oh, $*@!, who died now?"
The film will feature Tiff as "an overzealous park ranger who uses dangerous methods to save endangered alligators,...

There's no such thing as an overnight success. What may look like luck is generally the result of years of hard work, close calls, and major disappointments. Back Stage recently spoke with three actors—who are enjoying major turning points in their careers—about the roles that helped to change things. The Actor: John HawkesThe Roles: You may not know the name, but odds are you'll recognize the face, as Hawkes has appeared in countless films and TV programs over the last two decades. Audiences generally are familiar with him from three wildly different roles: the doomed fisherman in "The Perfect Storm," Sol Star on HBO's Western "Deadwood," and Miranda July's unlikely love interest in "Me and You and Everyone We Know." But it's his fierce, unforgettable turn in Debra Granik's Sundance hit "Winter's Bone" that has stirred Oscar talk for the actor. As Teardrop, a dangerous criminal...

This is the Pure Movies review of The Informant! (starring Matt Damon, Lucas McHugh Carroll, Eddie Jemison, Rusty Schwimmer and Tom Papa, directed by Steven Soderbergh). The exclamation mark at the end of The Informant! tells us much about what we need to know about this film. Whereas Michael Mann’s superb The Insider was a self-consciously serious look at corporate greed gone amuck, Steven Soderbergh takes us on an altogether more cynical and often sarcastic journey through what could have been the biggest corporate scandal in modern American history. Mark Whitacre played by Matt Damon is the informant inside the agriculture giant Adm. He accuses the company of price fixing, and so spies on behalf of the FBI who attempt to build a case against them.

Chicago – Steven Soderbergh is arguably the most important American filmmaker working today and his “The Informant!” with Matt Damon, just released on Blu-ray and DVD, is a great piece of evidence to support that argument. He continues to bring traditional stories to life in continuously unique, interesting ways.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
The story of “The Informant!” is one familiar to audiences, especially from a director who tackled the toppling of a corrupt Midwestern company by a little person before in “Erin Brockovich”. Erin and Mark Whitacre (Damon) couldn’t have less in common. One was a heroine. The other was a moron.
The Informant! was released on Blu-ray and DVD on February 23rd, 2010.

Mark is a typical Midwestern schlub with a loving wife (Melanie Lynskey), two kids, a nice home, and a very good job at Archer Daniels Midland monitoring Lysine pricing and its possible damage on the environment.

Bones is all new tonight and it's the winter hiatus until it returns in a few weeks (after the Olympics, I think). Fox has released four sneak peeks, which we have for you below. You can also view promo photos and a promo that we previously posted for the episode.
It’S A Battle Between Good And Evil On The Winter Finale Of “Bones”Thursday, February 4, On Fox
Joshua Malina (“In Plain Sight”) and Pej Vahdat Guest-Star
Brennan and Booth investigate a set of uniquely disfigured remains allegorizing biblical text. As they acquire more information about the victim, a former patient of Dr. Adam Copeland (guest star Malina) at Havenhurst Sanitarium, they are confronted with suspects who are hard to characterize as either good or evil. Meanwhile, Jeffersonian intern Arastoo Vaziri (guest star Vahdat) reveals a secret about his past in “The Devil in the Details” winter finale episode of Bones airing Thursday,...

Bones is all new on February 4 and I think it's the final episode before the show goes on hiatus for a few weeks for the Olympics. It's a religious episode, so you know Booth's Catholic-ness will come into play. Check out a promo below for the episode and then go view the promo photos we previously posted.

They're billing the February 4 episode of Bones as the "Winter Finale". This frightens me, because I think there won't be any new episodes of Bones again until April 1, but I'm not 100% sure about that, so let me check it out and get back to you. In the meantime, why don't you check out the promo photos and synopsis for the February 4 episode below.
You can also check out photos for the January 21 episode and the January 28 episode.

Somber and relaxing music, a melody that can bring to mind images of a local bar playing mellow tunes while their population dwindles as late night turns to early morning, play to the opening credits of "The Informant!," a new film by director Steven Soderbergh. The era in which this languid music harkens back to is that of the 1940s-70s when private eyes had a hunger for what was right and a dispassion for what was wrong. As the music continues a brief case is carefully being assembled with tapes, recorders, pocket-sized ones and microphones. All instruments used to detect truth. Indeed times have changed since the era of classical private eyes who relied on instinct and their conscious rather than electronic devices.
