Red Band Trailer for Indonesian Action Film The Raid Features the Harshest Violence of the Year

Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Now, now: The word “Indonesian” should make my description of The Raid ‘s red band trailer intriguing enough. Will there be expensive coffee? Komodo Dragons? Beautiful Sumatran supermodels? Even better: Gareth Evans’s The Raid ( Serbuan Maut ) has the harshest, roughest, bloodiest, fastest-paced action of any trailer I’ve seen this year. It is a rush, and it is shocking as hell. It’s the rare movie that warrants a “red band trailer;” type in your birthday, click play, and let your jaw drop.

Vincent Gallo’s Insane Taliban Film Heading to TIFF

Posted on August 24, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Good news, finally ! The sure-to-be-WTF-inducing Essential Killing , featuring Vincent Gallo as an escaped Taliban soldier in Europe (?) who “must use his wits to evade his pursuers whilst battling bitter winter cold and lack of food,” is set to have its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival — which means it’s all that much closer to reaching screens in the States. Maybe. Probably even closer: The Whistleblower , the Rachel Weisz drama about a Nebraska cop on the trail of a sex-slave ring in Bosnia. As predicted , that’ll be a world premiere up north; more to come here about this and many others… [ TIFF ]

Remember all that stuff Ryan Murphy said about concentrating on the Glee cast during season two and not the larger-than-life guest stars? Never mind! EW is reporting that comedy icon Carol Burnett has been tapped to play Sue Sylvester’s Nazi-hunting mother in an October episode of the Fox hit. Expect scenery chewing and ear tugging. [ EW ]

Werner Herzog’s 3D Cave Journey Leads Docs Premiering at TIFF

Posted on August 4, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The Toronto International Film Festival just announced the line-up for its Real-to-Reel documentary slate as well as its experimental Wavelengths program, both of which could probably stake at least some claim to Werner Herzog’s 3D spelunking extravaganza. But the docs side has the world premiere, along with other new efforts by Errol Morris, Ondi Timoner, Alex Gibney, and a revealing look inside the studio with old-school Bruce Springsteen. Read on for the complete program.
