What is Shelf Life? I recently moved into a new apartment, which means I had to box my entire movie collection. Now I’m trying to figure out how much of my physical media actually fits here. Each and every title is now up for grabs, new or old, and it’s time to decide what goes on the shelf and what just plain goes. Title: The Trust Year: 2016 Director: Alex Brewer and Benjamin Brewer Screenwriter: Adam Hirsch and Benjamin Brewer Format: Blu-ray/DVD/digital copy Purchased Or Sent: Sent What Is It? A young cop (Elijah Wood) is brought into a potentially deadly deal with an older cop (Nicolas Cage) who stumbles across a possible score while following leads on local drug traffic in Vegas. Random Thoughts: Direct-to-video (or close to it) Nicolas Cage movies are practically a sub-genre at this point. He's been working for the taxman long...

Bad cops make the best criminals. At least, that’s according to the one-sheet for The Trust, Alex Brewer and Ben Brewer’s soon-to-be-released dramedy that is on its way to SXSW 2016.
Accompanying the poster below is the first action-packed trailer for the flick, revealing a shotgun blast of Hollywood big names (Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood) along with musicians-cum-actors (Sky Ferreira). Kevin Weisman, Steven Williams and Jerry Lewis complete the ensemble.
Toplining the Brewers’ feature film as two loose-limbed Vegas cops are Nicolas Cage and Elijah Wood, who play fast and loose with the law after stumbling upon a precious bank vault during a drugs bust. Didn’t we say something about immoral men in blue making good criminals?

A new movie going into development includes the unlikely team-up of Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings Trilogy) and Nicolas Cage (Leaving Las Vegas, Joe). The movie is called The Trust, and it comes from Benjamin and Alex Brewer.
The crime drama follows “two crooked cops, David Waters (Wood) and Jim Stone (Cage), who discover a hidden safe while working in the evidence unit of the police department. The duo’s desire for the possessions of the safe throws them into a deadly well of corruption leaving them fighting for their lives and questioning their every move.”
For some reason I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the thought of Wood and Cage starring in a movie together. This could be completely awesome or an absolute disaster.
Wood recently wrapped production on Breck Eisner’s supernatural action movie, The Last Witch Hunter with Vin Diesel, Julie Engelbrecht,...

When Nicolas Cage tackles a law enforcement role, he either goes heroic or becomes completely unhinged. But for The Trust, which will see him co-starring with Boardwalk Empire’s Jack Huston, he’ll be veering more towards corrupt and greedy.The actors are aboard to appear in the new thriller, which finds them as dodgy cops on the look out for a fresh payday, presumably to keep them in donuts or something. When they discover a mysterious safe that has unusual safeguards, they naturally covet the contents, which leads them even deeper into the criminal underworld, threatens their lives and leaves them questioning their next move. It just goes to show, kids: stealing is wrong. Mmkay?Making their film directorial debut for this one are brothers Alex and Ben Brewer, who have thus far specialised in music videos and shorts.

Bret Easton Ellis, who penned "The Canyons," is no stranger to psychological thriller territory, but his new short film "Are You Okay" is certainly a bit removed from his past work. Written by Ellis and directed by acclaimed music video directors Ben and Alex Brewer (collectively known as "Brewer"), the short film/music video features the new single "Are You Okay?" by Dum Dum Girls and follows a psychologically disturbed young woman played by singer/guitarist Dee Dee Palmer. In an interview with Vice's music channel Noisey, Palmer cited "Dressed to Kill" by Brian De Palma (referred to as "De Palmer") as an inspiration before the film turned into something more original. That's certainly true, but the video plays less like "Dressed to Kill" by the "American Psycho" scribe and more like "Dressed to Kill" as directed by Shane Carruth. The odd, atmospheric short is available in full below.

Boys love crazy girls. If you need further proof, just watch the dysfunctional relationship played out in Passion Pit’s new video, “Carried Away," a track from 2012's "Gossamer." [More after the jump...] The clip, shot by “Beasts of the Southern Wild” cinematographer Ben Richardson, features Pp’s lead singer Michael Angelakos and “One Tree Hill” actress Sophia Bush in the throes of a tumultuous relationship. She spends a lot of time acting looney and he spends a lot of time saying "I'm sorry." Directed by Benjamin and Alex Brewer, who have also directed clips for Purity Ring and Alt-j, “Carried Away” is a...

Synth-rockers Passion Pit have just dropped the video for “Carried Away,” the latest single off of their 2012 album Gossamer, and it’s a kinetic, fast-motion look at a tumultuous relationship between a couple played by frontman Michael Angelakos and "One Tree Hill" star Sophia Bush, directed by indie-video prodigies Benjamin and Alex Brewer, and shot by “Beasts of the Southern Wild” cinematographer Ben Richardson. So many notable facets of this collaboration. First of all, it’s great to see Richardson with an exciting if small-scale project post 'Beasts.' His gorgeous camerawork was recognized last year with the Excellence in Cinematography Award at Sundance and the Camera d’Or prize at Cannes, but he was snubbed for an Oscar nomination, despite all of the film’s other Oscar recognition (Best Directing, Best Picture). The directing of the video is also fantastic, with brothers Benjamin and Alex Brewer at the helm.
