Shake Hands With the Devil Trailer

12 hours ago | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

There have been several recent films looking back on the African genocide, including The Last King of Scotland and Hotel Rwanda. In spite of the knowledge of the events, the entire region hasn’t received the kind of support and help that it deserves. For most people in the developed world, the searing films that the genocides “inspired” seem to be the only witness of the events. Now comes Shake Hands With the Devil, which is based on a book by General Romeo Dallaire about how his request for more aide before the 1994 Rwandan genocide went unanswered by the United Nations. The film is being directed by Roger Spottiswoode (The 6th Day, Tomorrow Never Dies) and stars Roy Dupuis in the role of General Dallaire. The film actually premiered at the 2007 Toronto International Film Festival but has just recently picked up a distributor. It is planning to be released in »

Dracula's cape and more to go under the hammer at costume auction

9 June 2009 3:57 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

It’s time to have a dig down the back of the sofa for small change as Bonhams is hosting its biannual entertainment memorabilia auction next week. And for lovers of screen costumes, all eyes will be on the Angels collection which offers items donated by the London theatrical costumiers of the same name, promising a whole host of exciting threads from the annals of cinema history. There are oodles of Bond-related items including the leather jacket as worn by Pierce Brosnan in 1997’s Tomorrow Never Dies (expected to fetch £4,000 to £6,000 or get a more affordable alternative here), and others from the likes of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire and Lawrence of Arabia. But the highest estimate is reserved for a little slice of gothic magic – the cape as worn by Christopher Lee’s titular bloodsucker in 1958 Hammer Horror classic Dracula comes with a £30,000 price tag. »

Where to find Hugh Jackman's Wolverine leather jacket

19 May 2009 9:21 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »

Hugh Jackman'S portrayal of Wolverine has become popular with many fans for the character's distinctive leather jackets.

Jackman plays the metal-clawed mutant in the previous X-Men trilogy and in current release X-Men Origins: Wolverine, where he wears another variation on the character's classic biker jacket.

Replicas of the jackets have become a must-have for many viewers. Last year, I reported how one enthusiast had created an online store selling the jackets when he finally found a quality duplicate of the version worn by Jackman on screen.

The website, Logan's Closet, is now offering a replica of the jacket seen in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, at a price of $600 to $760 depending on size. The site also sells the jackets worn by Wolverine in the first X-Men film and in X-Men: The Last Stand, as well as the jackets worn in Terminator, House, Bangkok Dangerous, I Am Legend, Biker Boyz and Mystery Men. »

'Iron Sky' Gets in Motion

16 May 2009 9:30 AM, PDT | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

Motion posters are the latest cool gimmick in online film advertising and we've got one for you here that you might not have seen before. It is for an independent science fiction film, Iron Sky, that yours truly has been tracking for some time.

Iron Sky is being produced in Finland by Energia Productions. Energia was started by the makers of the Star Wreck series of Star Trek spoofs. The most recent such film, Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning, is reckoned to be Finland's most successful film because it has been legally downloaded from the Internet more than 8 million times. A special edition was recently released on DVD in Britain.

Energia's new film is a departure from the Star Wreck series. In the plot of Iron Sky it is 2018 and a group of Nazis that escaped to the Moon at the end of the Second World War are planning a triumphant return. »

Iron Sky: Nazi Space Invaders Are Coming!

15 May 2009 10:29 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

You may have heard of Nazi Zombies, but you have you heard of Lunar Nazis?!

Prepare yourselves, for this is going to be awesome: Iron Sky is a Finnish film from the folks who created the Star Trek spoof, Star Wreck: In the Pirkinning and is described as a dark science fiction comedy that plays with Finland’s history of being oppressed by Sweden, Russia and the Nazis.

The story of the film, as described but its official website goes as follows:

 

Towards the end of World War II the staff of SS officer Hans Kammler made a significant breakthrough in anti-gravity.

From a secret base built in the Antarctic, the first Nazi spaceships were launched in late ‘45 to found the military base Schwarze Sonne (Black Sun) on the dark side of the Moon. This base was to build a powerful invasion fleet and return to take over the Earth once the time was right. »

New Concept Art and Trailer for Nazi Space Epic ‘Iron Sky’

14 May 2009 2:15 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Blind Spot Pictures, the company behind the very interesting and potentially awesome space epic Iron Sky -- a story set in an alternate world in which the Nazi's set up a secret moon base in 1945 and plan to return and invade Earth again in 2018 -- have released a bunch of new materials this week, including several new posters, a bunch of images and a teaser trailer. Though I'm almost certain that the trailer has been out for a while. Either way, it strikes me as a wicked idea and from what I'm seeing, it looks like a very cool flick. First up is a bit of casting news. The project has signed on a few leads, including the previously reported hottie Julia Dietze. In an official release, Blind Spot Pictures has also made us aware that famous German actor Götz Otto will step in the boots of the intelligence officer Klaus Adler, a »

Nazis on the Moon in Iron Sky

13 May 2009 5:58 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

About a half hour ago a press release hit my email box from Finnish production company, Blind Spot Pictures. On the surface the project they're touting looked to be the next installment of the growing Nazi Horror/Nazi Zombie trend. In reality, it's much more impressive. Iron Sky is a cross-genre project with the tagline "In 1945 the Nazis fled to the moon. In 2018 they are coming back!" Sounds a tad silly (in a good way) and for a second my Starlog sensor went off and I almost posted this there. Once you see the video below, I think you'll understand why I felt that not sharing this on Fango would be a disservice to all that rocks. It's like the first time that Worst Case Scenario teaser hit the web - only better.

What initially hooked me was the "motion poster" that appears on the splash page for their 2009 Cannes »

Roger Spottiswoode: The Hollywood Interview

Director Roger Spottiswoode.

Neglected Gems of the 1980’s: Roger Spottiswoode Remembers Under Fire

by Jon Zelazny

Editor's Note: The following article appeared on EightMillionStories.com in 2008.

The name may not ring a bell, but Roger Spottiswoode has been directing feature films for nearly thirty years, including popular hits like Turner and Hooch (1989), Air America (1990), and the James Bond adventure Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), as well as outstanding made-for-cable dramas like And the Band Played On (1993), Hiroshima (1995), and Noriega (2000).

2008 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of his remarkable third feature Under Fire, which starred Nick Nolte and Gene Hackman as journalists covering the 1979 revolution in Nicaragua.

It’s generally a given that every Hollywood movie endures a long, tortuous road to find financing, but not Under Fire. It had a long, hard road as well… but only after the film had been completed. Roger Spottiswoode and I spoke by phone:

Concert Review: The New York Pops Plays The Music Of James Bond At Carnegie Hall

11 March 2009 1:18 PM, PDT | Cinemaretro.com | See recent CinemaRetro news »

The music of James Bond has topped the charts around the world, as evidenced by this rare Japanese 45 Rpm release of John Barry's famous theme song. By Lee Pfeiffer

Last Friday's tribute to the music of James Bond at Carnegie Hall was a magnificent evening of entertainment. The New York Pops, under the direction of conductor Carl Davis, did justice to the canon of great film themes that have characterized the 007 movies. To the relief of Bond fans, the Pops did nothing to "soup up" the arrangements of the familiar songs, opting instead to perform the traditional arrangements. The two hour-plus event managed to incorporate almost all of the main title themes which were played more or less in sequential order, and it was especially rewarding to hear Burt Bacharach's The Look of Love included, despite the fact that it derived from the mostly-detested 1967 slapstick version of Casino Royale. »

Mystery Writer Westlake Dies

2 January 2009 4:08 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Oscar nominated writer Donald Westlake has died at the age of 75.

During Westlake's long and successful writing career he earned an Academy Award nomination for his screenplay for 1990 movie, The Grifters, as well as winning three Edgar Awards and the title of Grand Master from the Mystery Writers of America in 1993.

A string of his novels were adapted for the big screen, including Lee Marvin's Point Blank in 1967 and The Hot Rock, starring Robert Redford, in 1972.

Donald E. Westlake, 1933-2008

1 January 2009 8:32 PM, PST | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

We've just received word that Donald E. Westlake passed away yesterday.

Donald is probably best known to comics fans as the author (under the psuedonym Richard Stark) of the Parker novels that Darwyn Cooke is adapting and bringing to Idw Publishing later this year. But that's the barest fraction of his output. Over a career that lasted decades, he was a four-time Edgar Award winner in four different categories. In 1993, the Mystery Writers of America named Westlake a Grand Master, their highest honor.

His novels were turned into twenty-one different movies, including Payback and The Hot Rock (featuring his famous character John Dortmunder) and wrote screenplays on his own, most notably for The Grifters, where he was nominated for an Academy Award, The Stepfather, and a treatment for the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies.

He will be missed.

Here's a promo image from the upcoming Cooke series:
