Exclusive: Summit in Final Talks to Purchase Top Cow’s Crosshair; Story by Marc Silvestri

Last summer at Comic-Con, Mandeville Films and Top Cow Productions closed a deal to produce a feature film adaptation of the Top Cow comic book Crosshair. According to the press release, “Crosshair follows a former CIA assassin turned suburban superdad who faces his most dangerous enemy ever – himself. Justin Weller learns that he has 48 hours until a suppressed program in his brain will turn him into an unstoppable killing machine aimed at the President of the United States. Weller races against the clock to uncover and reverse the source of his trigger.”Since that original press announcement, movement on the Crosshair film had been at a standstill. However, I've just heard that Summit Entertainment is now in final talks to acquire the film rights and a new writer named Morgan Foehl is going to handle scripting duties. Todd Lieberman and David Hoberman (they produced The Fighter and The Muppets) will still be producing.»

‘The Expendables 2′ Moves Forward; Sylvester Stallone Will Not Write or Direct

Even before The Expendables opened last year, we heard that a sequel was likely to happen. And a sequel still seems very much on the boards, but new info paints it as a very different project than we previously expected.Millennium Films is moving forward with the second film, but the script is by David Agosto and Ken Kaufman, rather than Sylvester Stallone. Sly also directed the first film, but the company is now looking for someone else to direct the follow-up.The La Times [1] has the info on the new script, but doesn't offer much beyond the names of the writers and the fact that Sylvester Stallone has been "meeting with directors to tackle the sequel." So we don't know why he isn't directing, or what the plans for the sequel are.As for returning and/or new cast members, we'll have to wait. Arnold Schwarzenegger could now take a bigger role,»

Trent Reznor Confirms 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Scoring Duties, Cameo

2011 is the year of Trent Reznor.

2010 was a warm up -- the Nine Inch Nails front man came out of nowhere to collaborate with Atticus Ross on the soundtrack for David Fincher's "The Social Network," but now he's hitting the big time.

Reznor posted on the official Nin forums that he has officially signed on for another project: the alternative history action movie "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." This all comes in the wake of Reznor picking up the Oscar for Best Original Score and signing on for Fincher's next film, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" set to hit theaters at the end of this year.

How Video Games Might Look in the Future

Video game console manufacturers generally wait half a decade before they begin to abandon their old wares, hustle a shiny new product and empty your bank account. There were 5 years between Nintendo 64's launch in 1996 and Gamecube in 2001. 4 between Xbox in 2001 and Xbox 360 in 2005. However, a bum economy and peripherals like Kinect and Move have extended the current generation to 6 years and counting. Mum was the word until last week.

At the 2011 Game Developer's Conference, publisher/developer Epic Games ("Gears of War 3," "Bulletstorm") held a behind closed doors session with the industry elite to screen the Unreal 3 Engine.

A game engine is like a car engine. It's the central powerhouse that produces, in a game's case, the beefy graphics. We've seen Unreal Engine 3 before. It made a splash powering the original "Gears of War" in 2006. But this is the latest and possibly the most significant update.

The Marines Deploy in New Clip from Battle: Los Angeles

The last preview clip released from director Jonathan Liebesman's (The Killing Room) new sci-fi movie, Battle: Los Angeles, showed Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz's (Aaron Eckhart) squad of Marines venturing beneath the streets of L.A. to engage the aliens bent on exterminating humanity and stripping our planet of its resources in up-close-and-personal combat.

"Black Death" Asks Sharp Questions with Some Blunt Instruments

A few months back I was sitting in a screening of “Centurion,” and found myself irked in an entirely unexpected way. I was uncomfortable with the portrayal of the Picts, the warrior people north of Hadrian’s Wall, as so incredibly barbaric and uncivilized. Immediately I was confused; can a film be ethnically problematic at the expense a people who have not existed for roughly a millennium? For all cultural intents and purposes in the 21st century, the Picts might as well be imaginary, like their equally blue compatriots in “Avatar.” Yet it was clear that "Centurion" had something to say…»

So far, the trailers and preview clips that have been released to promote director Neil Burger's (The Illusionist) upcoming sci-fi thriller, Limitless, have pretty much just focused on the rags-to-riches story of how struggling writer Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper) turned his life around by ingesting a wonder-drug called Nzt given to him by his friend, Vernon (Johnny Whitworth).

Steve recently spoke with actor and writer Bill Hader about his upcoming projects. One movie he might try to shoot while he's on hiatus from Saturday Night Live is his wife's Maggie Carey's script, The Hand Job. The script landed on the 2009 Black List (a list of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood) and we reported back in October that Aubrey Plaza was attached to play the lead role of a 17-year-old who wants to learn about various sexual activities before she goes to college. Hader says that he, Andy Samberg, Donald Glover, Connie Britton, Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, and Johnny Simmons are attached to co-star, and if that cast doesn't make you excited, then you must not recognize these actors by name.

Julianne Moore To Play Sarah Palin In HBO’s Game Change

We see the resemblance, but can she play folksy? Entertainment Weekly reports that four-time Oscar nominee Julianne Moore has signed up to play Sarah Palin in HBO’s upcoming adaptation of Game Change, Mark Halperin and John Heilemann‘s best-selling behind-the-scenes account of the 2008 Presidential election. The film will be directed by Jay Roach, who also made the 2000-election film Recount for the network (he also directed the Austin Powers movies). Hey, didn’t they forget to make one about John Kerry‘s 2004 run? Matthew Modine‘s agent is still waiting for that call!

While Recount avoided showing us the nominees and stuck to the campaign managers on the sidelines, the signing of Moore suggests we should expect some big names to play the big politicians involved. Will Mickey Rooney crawl out for John McCain? Tim Meadows for Barack Obama? Or will they go for Academy-level caliber, like Robert Duvall and Will Smith?»

‘Things Fall Apart’ Trailer

Last year Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson took the low road to being taken seriously as an actor. No, not acting! That would be taking the high road. He lost a hell of a lot of weight and shaved his head to play a college football player stricken by cancer. The movie is Things Fall Apart, directed by and c0-starring Mario Van Peebles. Now there is an 'unofficial' trailer for the film, which looks like no more than a rough sales trailer. But even the best trailer ever cut might not be able to make this look like anything but an unintentional howler. I understand that 50's massive wig in the early scenes is there to make his post-illness visage more stark, but it is also the first of many things that look wildly out of place.

Carla Gugino and Sebastian Gutierrez's Life of "Luxx"-ury

There are many filmmakers who sound nothing like the films they make. Sebastian Gutierrez is not one of them. Within seconds of opening his mouth, a flood of words escape in all directions, all hurdling towards some greater point. This has served the writer/director well on two fronts - the first being his recent run of films, beginning with 2009's "Women in Trouble" and eventually its sequel "Elektra Luxx," that sprint on the colorful flourishes of its aesthetic and banter, if not the wild tonal shifts from slapstick comedy to musical numbers to melodrama that make the fact that their main characters are porn stars seem tame by comparison. Gutierrez's way with words also helped him out of a jam when a projection problem at last year's SXSW premiere of "Elektra Luxx" resulted in one of the most memorable moments I've ever experienced at a film festival after he»

'Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 1" Becomes The Top Ranking 'Potter' Film Internationally

Like a fine wine, the "Harry Potter" movies only get richer with age. It's no surprise, then, that "Deathly Hallows" is poised to become the richest of them all.

On Wednesday, Warner Bros. announced that "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" has passed "Sorcerer's Stone" to become the top-grossing "Potter" film on an international level. The first half of the "Harry Potter" finale has earned $657.24 million in foreign markets, just barely edging out the "Sorcerer's Stone" total of $657 million.

“It’s tremendously gratifying to reach this benchmark as we enter the final stretch of this remarkable journey,” said Jeff Robinov, President of Warner Bros. Pictures Group, in an official statement. “We share this achievement with Jo Rowling, whose books are the foundation of this rich and vibrant world, as well as the talented people who brought her vision to life on the screen.”

Review: Certified Copy Offers Juliette Binoche in (Gasp!) Kiarostami Lite

Certified Copy, the title of writer/director Abbas Kiarostami's latest film, comes from the name of a book-length essay by one of its leads, lecturer and art historian James Miller (William Shimell). And, like much of the Iranian filmmaker's work, the believable observations are present from the very start; when Miller enters a room to begin a speech, the place is about two-thirds full. Miller plows ahead the distracted assertion of a man used to holding his own before crowds -- his voice fills the room with a sueded elegance. But coming after his game (and game-playing), 2008 diversion, Shirin, Certified Copy is something unique to Kiarostami's career, bringing to mind an adjective I never thought I'd append to him: adorable.»

The 9 Best Alien Invasion Movies

We're not alone, are we? It's fun to believe that we're not -- that somewhere, out there amongst the stars, there's intelligent life. Intelligent life with giant laser cannons and plans of domination.

For some people, the idea of an alien invasion is a terrifying nightmare. For others, it's a dream come true -- it would be proof that aliens actually exist, and we'd get to fight them with helicopters and laptop computers!

Alien invasion movies bring those dreams and nightmares down to Earth. With "Battle: Los Angeles" invading theaters, we take a look at some of the best times we've been "visited."

9. 'Independence Day' (1996)

Neil Gaiman to Write Big-Budget Adaptation of Chinese Novel Journey To The West

Acclaimed writer Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) has signed on to write the script for a trilogy of 3D big-budget films based on the classic Chinese novel Journey to the West. The story centers on the misadventures of a Buddhist monk as he makes a pilgrimage from China to India. Gaiman and producer Zhang Jizhong recently consulted with James Cameron on how to translate the 2,000 page novel into a trilogy. Said Gaiman:“We have to do what Peter Jackson did with Lord of The Rings. We have to make it filmic, non-episodic. This story is in the DNA of 1.5 billion people.”According to THR, Gaiman will write "an outline over the next month that will attract enough investment to enable Zhang to hire the right director, the right Western and Chinese cast and the right team of computer animators to give the project a flight round the world."

Listening to Rihanna is, of course, a natural setting for human love making, but when Ke$ha hooked up with DJ Calvin Harris at Rihanna’s concert Tuesday, they were in a Melbourne arena filled with thousands of screaming fans.

'Passion Play' With Mickey Rourke & Megan Fox Not Surprisingly Going Straight-To-dvd

To put it quite simply: "Passion Play," starring Mickey Rourke and Megan Fox, was the worst film we saw at Tiff last year (though Dustin Lance Black's "What's Wrong With Virginia" comes a close second). Our man on the ground called it "a cliche-riddled, risible and utterly painful experience that boasts hallmark sentiments and TV movie-of-the-week sensibilities mixed in a disastrous attempt to make a love story about unearned redemption." And most critics agreed with that sentiment. It was the directorial debut of screenwriter Mitch Glazer and it's sure to be his last time behind the camera for a long,…»

This is going to be very different. What I'm doing no one has done in superhero films. It's James Bond, it's a political thriller and it's an X-Men movie. It's not like the other X-Men movies which I think is important. I think they need to sort of take on a new... you know, what Batman Begins did for all those Batman movies? We bloody well need it.

Sergio Leone’s Kids Planning New Cut Of Once Upon A Time In America

Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone had a massive impact on my childhood and movie education. His Man With No Name trilogy made me fall in love with cinema. That he made Once Upon A Time in the West as well (with a script co-written by Dario Agrento) proves he deserves his place in film history alongside my own affections. He also directed a sprawling and disturbing gangster epic in the early 1980s called Once Upon A Time In America.

Leone died in 1989 but his children Andrea and Raffaella Leone have picked up the Italian rights to his gangster masterpiece and will be teaming with Bologna Cinemetheque L’Immagine Ritrovata for a restoration and re-cut. They also plan to add forty minutes of extra footage into the film. It’s already nearly four hours long in its definitive cut (the 1984 Cannes version). Leone originally envisioned his film as being seen in two parts,»

“Mars Needs Moms” is a fun movie. I wasn’t expecting it to be, but it is.

'Monogamy' Stars Rashida Jones And Chris Messina Talk Being Scared And Making Out

Which is to say that "Monogamy," a new indie starring Rashida Jones and Chris Messina, takes the dramatic potential of the sort of romantic love explored in "Blue Valentine" and drags it into new, insanely depressing depths. Looked at another way, though, "Monogamy" is simply an unsparing and utterly truthful look at a couple in, and sometimes out, of love, as difficult as that may be to watch.

Making it all the more difficult is the fact that, off-screen, Jones and Messina are actually friends.

I've never liked George Michael's "Careless Whisper" more than I do right now.

It seems this gig inspired this SNL skit too. Dig it, "I feel so unsure, as I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor. As the music dies, something in your eyes calls to mind the silver screen, and all its sad good-byes."

The "Insidious" World of James Wan and Leigh Whannell

Towards the end of our interview -- the first at the IFC Crossroads House at South By Southwest 2011 -- I chided director James Wan and writer/actor Leigh Whannell for scarring me for life with their new film "Insidious." "You're welcome," Whannell replied with a chuckle. I like that response. Scaring people to death is Wan and Whannell's job. And these guys are good at what they do.

Wan and Whannell redefined the horror movie with the first "Saw" film, but they've taken a more old school approach with "Insidious," a haunted house thriller that's light on viscera and heavy on atmosphere. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne star as a married couple who move into a new house that's apparently haunted by some old, angry souls. Here's our 2-part chat about the film, their first to play at SXSW. And be sure to look for my review of "Insidious" tomorrow right here on IFC.»

P. David Ebersole’S “Hit So Hard”

Screening Times: Tuesday March 15th, 9:15pm (Alamo Ritz 1), Friday march 18th, 7:00pm (Vimeo Theater)

A veteran director and producer of cable television (Wicked Wicked Games, Desire), P. David Ebersole’s rock doc Hit So Hard is a typical booze-and-drug-filled profile of his friend and collaborator Patty Schemel, the original drummer for the seminal grunge band Hole, who fell on hard times after the always controversial rock band’s heyday.

Filmmaker: How did you first conceive of Hit So Hard?

Ebersole: My friend Patty Schemel brought me a gold box, filled with 40-plus hours of never-before-seen video footage from when she was on tour with her band Hole. She shot the tape on Hi-8 and was afraid it would disintegrate soon, so she came asking for advice about how to best preserve it. Soon, the two of us were transferring the tapes and watching the footage together. Patty, a great raconteur,»

Screening Times: Sunday March 13th, 4:30pm (Vimeo Theater), Tuesday march 15th, 10:00pm (Alamo Lamar C), Thursday March 17th, 6:00pm (Rollins Theatre)

Half a decade in the making, Anne Buford’s Elevate chronicles how a group of gifted West African basketball players respond as they are feverishly recruited by American schools on the promise of their skills on the hardwood, and how coping with the adjustment to American life may be the toughest thing of all.

Filmmaker: How did you first hear of the West African basketball players whose stories Elevate chronicles?

Buford: In the Fall of 2004, Rc Buford, who besides being my big brother is the Gm of the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs, asked me to say hello and take donuts to the African Junior National team, who were on the New York City stop of their Us tour. When I met the team — from various African countries,»

Teaser Trailer Arrives For Conan The Barbarian

You only have to remember Marcus Nispel has directed this fantasy flick to realise it probably won’t be very good. The German helmer hasn’t made an impressive film yet. Will Conan The Barbarian change all that? The answer is: who the hell knows!

Check out the new teaser trailer complete with “sixty cigarettes a-day man voiceover” and see what you think. As it’s a teaser there’s not much footage from the finished production – unless it features plenty of scenes of people dancing around in smoke, you know, like barbarians do according to Nispel’s imagination. Telly actor Jason Momoa takes on the role that helped make Arnie Schwarzenegger a “moo-vie star” and to be honest, his acting looks just as dodgy.

Conan is not without its merits. Ron Perlman is in it alongside Rose McGowan, so it’s not all bad. Stephen Lang from Avatar is playing the villain Khalar Zym.»

“Yelling To The Sky” Producer Billy Mulligan, Part One

Producer Billy Mulligan, who is attending SXSW with Victoria Mahoney’s Yelling to the Sky, is filing a series of guest blog posts. Here’s the first.

I’ve just touched down on Texas soil, a first for this pale-skinned, mid-winter-hibernating New Yorker. It’s a truly wonderful thing to be here conveying my experiences promoting a film I produced that is extremely close to my heart. The film is Yelling to the Sky, a narrative feature born from the rib of debut writer/director/producer, Victoria Mahoney. The occasion is our North American premiere this weekend in the Spotlight section of SXSW.

We have flown down to Austin right off the heels of our World Premiere in Competition at last month’s Berlin Film Festival. Even before Yelling was in the can, we put a lot of weight into the conversation about which festivals, if we were fortunate enough to be accepted,»

Mark Ruffalo To Play Jazz Pianist Joe Albany In 'Low Down'

A lot of people did a double take when longtime indie stalwart Mark Ruffalo signed on to play The Hulk in "The Avengers" last year. Had the thespian turned his back on his indie roots? Was this a new, more mainstream geared Ruffalo that was emerging? Nah, didn't think so. Once Ruffalo is done going green this summer, he'll slide back into a smaller pic and one that once again finds the actor dipping his toes in new water. Variety reports that Ruffalo will portray jazz pianist Joe Albany in the biopic "Low Down." Based on his daughter Amy Albany's…»

Sylvester Stallone Directing The Expendables 2 After All?

While a sequel to Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables has been in the works for a while, there’ve been quite a few rumors surrounding the project. Last month, it was reported that although Stallone would be returning in The Expendables 2 as an actor, he would not be directing the flick this time around. He also passed over scripting duties to Ken Kaufman (Space Cowboys) and David Agosto. Well, now it’s being reported that Stallone may in fact direct the follow-up after all.The website Expendables Premiere (via Screen Rant) is reporting that Lionsgate and Maple Pictures have revealed that Stallone will be returning to the director’s chair for the film. However, this information has yet to be confirmed and we haven’t heard anything from Lionsgate or Maple Pictures at this time, so this could very well be one more rumor about the project. Hopefully we'll know more soon.»

Jessica Alba Is A Little Manson, A Little Monroe For Vogue Italia

It’s scary how hot Jessica Alba’s Vogue Italia photos are, albeit in a high-school-goth-circa-1996 sort of way. This the kind of wardrobe and dye job we’d dream about in the sixth grade, when Marilyn Manson was cool but we were too intimated to go into Hot Topic alone. “My own style is probably a mixture of high and low. I’m definitely into sort of layering and I like mystery so I don’t put it all out there,” the star of the upcoming An Invisible Sign told the magazine. “I play dress up for a living — for photo shoots and for working and movies or whatnot — I sort of wear more revealing things that show my body. But in life I like things that have a little bit more mystery. I like things that are elegant and chic, but then a little rock-and-roll.” If by “rock-and-roll,»

SXSW: Todd Phillips Lambastes Warner Bros. Over Hangover Uncut Edits: 'That Won't Happen Again'

In conversation with Movieline's Elvis Mitchell Friday at SXSW, director Todd Phillips talked all things Todd Phillips: His fascination with awkward male relationships, the status of The Hangover 2, how heartbroken he was when his HBO documentary Frat House was shelved by a lawsuit, and wise words he once received from James Cameron. And somewhere between sharing revelations from Due Date (a test of how forgiving an audience could be of Robert Downey Jr.) and expressing love for both Mel Gibson and Charlie Sheen (they're both "my boys"), Phillips accused Warner Bros. of violating DGA rules in the name of milking the home-video market. »

Update – Batch Of Images From Terrence Malick’s The Tree Of Life

The world will finally be seeing Terrence Malick’s long-awaited The Tree Of Life when it opens in May and it’s about effing time too. A batch of new stills from the movie have appeared as if by magic through a Russian site (KinoPoisk) and they show off the soft-focus beauty of the cinematography as well as moments from the film and its stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn.

Oh and did you know there’s dinosaurs in this film? Yeah, bet you never thought that. Whether they’ve made the final cut or not remains to be seen, but special effects scenes were shot along with moments of the birth of time and being. Malick is such a Heideggerian!

You can also check out the trailer here. This is going to be a special film.

'The City Dark' SXSW Review: Time to Get Scared of the Light

Filed under: Documentaries, Reviews, SXSW Film Festival, Cinematical

I can't recall if I read Michael Pollan first or saw Aaron Woolf's 'King Corn' first. The two experiences occurred roughly the same time (in mid 2007). But either way I'm sure that I learned a lot about the food industry from the latter (which features Pollan as a talking head). And as an ignorant eater unaware that corn dominates our diet and may be ruining the American farm system through its industrialization, I appreciated the way its information was filtered through the investigatory curiosity of two college buddies, who learned right alongside the viewer.

Now one of those inquisitive guys, Ian Cheney, who is also credited as a writer and producer of 'King Corn,' has a new directorial effort (following his 2008 debut, 'The Greening of Southie'), which is a similar sort of personal journey that looks into another sort of taken-for-granted subject.»

"Miraculously," when the child is born, she starts to breathe and cry. That miracle is short-lived when baby Grace starts to attract flies and can only consume human blood.

Exclusive: Edgar Wright Has Been Asked to Direct an Episode of The Walking Dead Season 2

Yesterday at SXSW, Scott Wampler (our Austin contributing writer) got to sit down with director Joe Cornish, Edgar Wright and Nick Frost to talk about Cornish's first feature film, Attack The Block (which played huge during its midnight premiere last night). While we'll have the whole interview online later today, one of the gems that came out of their conversation is that Frank Darabont has asked Wright to direct an episode of The Walking Dead season two! While Wright made it sound like he probably won't do it, it's still awesome to think that one of my favorite directors might helm an episode of the hugely popular AMC show. For exactly what he said, hit the jump:Even though Wright says that, "I really enjoyed the first season, and I wouldn't wanna be the guy that comes in and fucks it up," it's hard to think that he could do such a thing.»

"The Greatest Movie Ever Sold," Reviewed

How did we ever live before TiVo and DVR? I honestly don't remember. I seem to vaguely recall talking to people more. It was horrible.

TiVo and DVR have given us the freedom to control our tevision experience: to record and save our favorite shows or fast-forward through the stuff we don't want to watch. That freedom, though, is such a complicated thing. We certainly don't need more marketing in our cluttered lives, but that marketing pays for most of the content on television and the Internet. And as TiVo and DVR have made commercials easier to avoid on television, people have become more resistant to traditional advertising in all cultural contexts. Again, not a terrible thing... except for the people who make their money by creating content for websites that make their money selling advertising. If you won't look at the ads, the site can't sell the ads. If they can't sell the ads,»

Chickens, Vinyl And Lost & Found In Austin: Jeanie Finlay At SXSW

My name is Jeanie Finlay and I’m an artist and filmmaker from the U.K. I’m in Austin for my very first SXSW and the world premiere of the feature documentary Sound it Out which I produced and directed.

Sound it Out is a documentary portrait of the very last record shop in Stockton-on-Tees in Teesside, my home town. It’s a small shop in a small town. It’s a film about men and music and passion and the North East of England. It’s the most personal film I’ve ever made for the lowest budget and I’m frankly still a bit gobsmacked that my Diy microbudget film with a big heart will be premiering later on today at SXSW.
