White Bird in a Blizzard Trailer – Shailene Woodley stars in Gregg Araki’s latest

December 14, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Gregg Araki was at the forefront of the Queer Cinema movement on the 1990s, and indeed all his movies since then have had an LGBT tint. However things will be less overtly gay with his latest, White Bird in a Blizzard, which is due to premiere at Sundance. Ahead of that though we’ve got our first look at the movie with a trailer.

Based on Laura Kasischke’s 1999 novel, the film a young woman who loses control of her life when her mother disappears. Shailene Woodley plays the main role, with the likes of Eva Green (as the mother), Angela Bassett, Shiloh Fernandez, Christopher Meloni and Gabourey Sidibe co-starring.

The movie will screen at Sundance, but there’s no word yet on when it will be released to general audiences. [Read more…]

Josh Brolin Playing Dwight In Sin City: A Dame to Kill For

January 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

josh-brolinJust yesterday we discovered Joseph Gordon-Levitt had joined the cast of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For and now the roll call of well-known names has grown again, as Josh Brolin and Christopher Meloni have joined the film.

Brolin will play Dwight, taking over the role from Clive Owen who played the part in the first Sin City Movie. In Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell. Chronologically, this story takes place prior to ‘The Big Fat Kill’ (featured in the film Sin City) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face – so it should make sense that he’s not played by Clive Owen.

Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller commented, “Dwight is a constant character throughout the Sin City world and “A Dame To Kill For” is a defining episode in his life. We’re looking forward to Josh’s take on Dwight.”

As yet it’s not known who Christopher Meloni will play.

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For weaves together two of Miller’s classic stories with new tales in which the town’s most hard boiled citizens cross paths with some of its more repulsive inhabitants. Mickey Rourke, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson and Jaime King all return, with new cast members including Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Dennis Haysbert and Jamie Chung. The part of the ‘Dame’ has yet to be cast. Production is underway at Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas. (Source: Variety)

Christopher Meloni Up For Gregg Araki’s White Bird In A Blizzard

November 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

A few months ago it was revealed that queer filmmaker Gregg Araki (Mysterious Skin, The Doom Generation) was busy putting together a new movie, White Bird, with Shailene Woodley, Eva Green and Shiloh Fernandez set to star. Now it appears the title has changed slightly to White Bird In A Blizzard, with Deadline reporting that Christopher Meloni and Gabourey Sidibe have been added to the cast.

The movie is about a young woman who loses control of her life when her mother disappears. Woodley will be playing the main part, but it’s not clear how the other actors will play into the story.

Meloni has been having some fun since leaving Law & Order: SVU, going vampiric in True Blood as well as joining the cast of superhero movie, Man Of Steel. Now he’s going a little more arty, with Araki’s movie. It’s not clear when White Bird might shoot.
