Unholy Spirit: Watch the New Red Band Trailer for Kevin Smith’s Red State

Red State isn’t an ominous enough title for Kevin Smith’s new joint, the one that he ceremoniously purchased for his own distribution at Sundance, before Lionsgate chipped in to help with the VOD release. This is a grisly caper that combines the freaky backwoods barbarism of a Rob Zombie picture, the noir grandeur of There Will Be Blood , and the shape-shifting terror of Melissa Leo. Save our souls, indeed! (NSFW language, violence.)

Paz de la Huerta Making Directorial Debut with Red Shoes-esque Film

Big news for Paz de la Huerta fans: the frequently naked Boardwalk Empire siren and upcoming Nurse 3D lead is currently directing her first film. She told the Observer , “It’s my version of The Red Shoes …[It’s] about a woman who’s unique, and lives in a small village, and is ostracized for being different, for being talented, and then she makes a horrible mistake and because the people in the village are so — you know — jealous of her, they don’t forgive her…and we are all human, you know. And we all suffer.” Preach, Paz, preach. Little else is known about the project, in which de la Huerta also stars. [ Observer via Vulture ]

Celebrate Mick Jagger’s 68th Birthday with His Performance in Performance

Sixty-eight years ago today, a Hirschfeld caricature named Mick Jagger was born. In addition to inventing our current perception of rock stars, the Rolling Stones frontman has produced some of the darkest material ever to permeate the mainstream. While you could revisit the harrowing Altamont doc Gimme Shelter or Martin Scorsese’s 2008 concert film Shine a Light to celebrate Mick’s special occasion, Movieline is instead turning back to Mick’s performance in the once-abhorred, now-revered 1970 movie Performance . Check out the slickest Mick ever ahead!

In Honor of Kevin Smith’s Pilot, 5 Filmmakers We’d Rather See Host a Talk Show

Today, Vulture reported that outspoken filmmaker , discriminated plane passenger and interview over-sharer Kevin Smith is developing a half-hour syndicated talk show. Which is fine, and honestly, a naturally-fitting format for Smith. No disrespect to Smith — even if we did once resolve to silence him by wiring shut his mouth — but he already has podcast and Twitter platforms to preach from, and we’d rather see a few other filmmakers host a talk show first. Take a look at our suggestions and share your own in the comment section below.

Hank Azaria on The Smurfs, Living Cartoons and the Joys of Cat-Throwing

Nearly a quarter century of The Simpsons alone have made Hank Azaria one of the more inveterate voice actors in the industry. But what’s the flesh-and-blood Azaria — no slouch himself onscreen over the years — to do when playing a cartoon come to life? That’s one of the dynamics factoring into this week’s live-action/CGI adaptation of The Smurfs , featuring Azaria as the tiny blue title creatures’ arch-nemesis Gargamel.

Bad Movies We Love: A Kid in King Arthur’s Court

Child actors of the early ’90s understood chutzpah , you know? The newsies gyrated, the Cucamonga campers jived, and even the Tonka-tough Little Leaguers burst with starpower. Case in point, Thomas Ian Nicolas, the future American Pie and Please Give costar , bounds into Camelot with Louisville Slugger confidence in A Kid in King Arthur’s Court , the kiddie flick from ’94 that also features two of Cowboys & Aliens ‘s best attributes: a hokey mashup of disparate eras and — oh yes — Daniel Craig.

VIDEO: Steve Carell Wants His Head to Look Huge on Crazy Stupid Love Posters

Ever wonder why some actors appear comically oversized next to their castmates on movie posters? It could have something to do with each actors’ popularity, billing or — as evidenced by a new Funny or Die video featuring Steve Carell — strict contractual demands. Watch the former Office star fight for prime positioning on the Crazy Stupid Love poster (“Would you rather see Ryan Gosling’s face or mine?”) based on an argument that involves pancakes, Seth Rogen and hilarious never-before-seen artwork for Carell’s first feature, Curly Sue .

Claire Sloma on How Audrey Hepburn Influenced Myth of the American Sleepover

David Robert Mitchell’s Myth of the American Sleepover is the anti-teen movie teen movie. It’s American Graffiti by way of mumblecore; it’s Kids by way of Norman Rockwell. The film follows a group of moderately well-behaved teens on the last night of summer, and features enough awkward inter-sex interactions to fill up a battalion of big studio teen comedies. The one difference? The cast is filled with many new performers and — at the time of filming in 2008 — actually teenagers. Like Claire Sloma.
