We live in remarkable times, us film aficionados. Across the country it seems as though repertory theaters and art houses are opening at a never-before-seen rate and streaming services are seemingly even more prevalent. And with this comes the great honor of being part of a generation of rediscovery. Maybe you’re in middle America just now discovering Jean Renoir, or happen to be living in The Big Apple, and now have the chance to discover the work of an underrated titan of world cinema.
Starting earlier this week (and ending on 7/23), The Metrograph in New York City is introducing a new generation of film fans to the work of Geneva-born auteur Alain Tanner. Launching his career with 1969’s Charles, Dead or Alive, Tanner would go on to create an oeuvre full of outsiders, leftist politics and some of the most singular works of the golden age of world cinema.

You may know H.H. Holmes as America's first serial killer, but do you know him as England's most prolific killer? American Ripper follows the grandson of H.H. Holmes as he presents the evidence he's gathered that seems to indicate that H.H. Holmes wasn't only the Devil In The White City, but also Jack The Ripper. I'm already skeptical, but damn, I love me some serial killer shows so I'm already in! Check out the first trailer below and check out the series on History beginning in April.

At 74 years old, Martin Scorsese seems to busier and have more projects on his plate than filmmakers half his age. With “Silence” finally finished, the director is hoping to turn to “The Irishman” next, with tentative plans to start lensing in February, but he’s also got a filing cabinet filled with developing projects, and at least one of them is still being actively looked at.

When it was announced in 2010 that Leonardo DiCaprio had purchased the rights to The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America, the book based on America’s first serial killer Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, moviegoers and critics alike cheered at the prospect of DiCaprio acting in another horror/thriller. With Shutter Island and Inception under his belt that same year, he was the perfect candidate to take on such a legendary topic and such a critically-acclaimed book.
When Deadline got the exclusive that DiCaprio would undertake the film with legendary director Martin Scorsese at the helm, it made fans go wild. Who better than these two to take on a story about a man who literally built a murder hotel so he could torture and sell the bodies of his suspected 200 victims during the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago?

Chicago in the early 1890s was the backdrop for both the World's Fair and a skilled serial killer. Erik Larson's book The Devil in the White City explored the prolifically murderous H.H. Holmes, whose true story is once again on track for the big screen in an upcoming film adaptation directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Devil in the White City film is back in development at Paramount after being previously let go by the studio. It looks like Devil in the White City will be Scorsese's next movie, once again teaming him up with DiCaprio, who will play Holmes, a man who posed as a doctor and killed a staggering number of people during the chaos of the "White City" being erected in Chicago by architect Daniel H. Burnham. DiCaprio is a big fan of the true story and...

Anytime there’s a new Martin Scorsese picture announced, that should instantly warrant attention. It’s even sweeter when he’s paired with Leonardo DiCaprio, as the pair have yet to strike out five times at bat.

Per Deadline, DiCaprio will play one of the most notorious serial killers in Chicago’s history, Dr. H.H. Holmes, who would lure people to their death at the World’s Fair Hotel. I’ve not read the book, but I’ve done some research on the case, and it’s one of the more interesting [ Read More ]

Holmes, a charming serial killer who posed as a doctor on fairgrounds and was believed to have murdered as many as 200 people in a hotel that he himself built, later known as "the murder castle."
