To be honest, there’d probably be less interest in The Breeding if it weren’t for the fact one of its leads, Marcus Bellamy, is facing murder charges. The film, from the makers of the web series Drama Queenz, was shortly shortly before the death of Bellamy’s boyfriend, who Marcus admitted killing in a Facebook post shortly after it happened.
The film is ‘An erotic thriller about a young artist whose obsession with a taboo fetish leads to life altering consequences.’ Obviously those behind it never knew how real-life events would overtake their movie.
Director Daniel Armando told Raynbowaffair, “Never could any of us have imagined that something like this would happen. Dane and Marcus went to high school together. Dane introduced Marcus to Manhattan when Marcus first started at Juilliard. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster for Dane and everyone in the cast, reconciling what our friend has done and sending prayers to the family affected by the tragedy. We’re still piecing it all together and, more than anything, want to send positive love and light to everyone impacted.”
Take a look at the trailer below. The film started screening at select US cinemas last week and will be on VoD from September 11th. [Read more…]
I’m always a bit dubious about reports that a film prompted walkouts, as it can’t help but sound like a marketing ploy. However, there were apparently quite a few people who didn’t get through to the end of the screenings of Sauvage at Cannes, due to its graphic approach to its story.
A zombie Christmas musical sounds like a ridiculous idea that should never be attempted. However, Anna and the Apocalypse has been getting some better reviews than you might expect, with some saying its works as both a horror film and a musical, and it’s all pretty fun.
After a successful cinema run the gay-themed movie Mariio is out on DVD and VoD now in the UK courtesy of Peccadillo Pictures. We’ve teamed up with them to give away three copies of the film on DVD in this competition!
After the recent screening of The Favourite in competition at the Venice Film Festival, Olivia Colman & Emma Stone couldn’t help but gush about how much fun they had having sex with one another. After being asked about the sexual politics of the 18th Century royal drama, Colman said, “Sexual politics? There was lots of it, and that’s good. That’s timeless, I suppose. That will always happen. It’s as though we think we invented sex, but we didn’t, it’s been going on for quite a long time. And it was awfully fun having sex with Emma Stone.”
Every so often Jamie Lee Curtis is convinced to return to the Halloween franchise – with mixed results. However, this time there’s a fair amount of interest in the new instalment, not just because of Curtis but because series creator John Carpenter is serving as a creative consultant and David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, All The Real Girls, Stronger) is directing. He also co-wrote the script alongside Danny McBride.
There have been a couple of attempts to reinvigorate the Predator franchise, whether it’s been getting them to battle Aliens or taking us to their planet in Robert Rodriguez’s Predators. Fox finally seemed to have given up on it, until Iron Man 3’s Shane Black rocked up with a new idea and suddenly, The Predator was in the works.
Most of Disney’s recent family-friendly live-action fantasies have been based on their animated movies (Beauty & The Beast, Maleficent, The Jungle Book). However, with The Nutcracker And The Four Realms, they’re relying on the popularity of Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet rather than their own back catalogue. But from the looks of this trailer they’re still giving it a massive fantasy treatment with a film that looks a little Narnia and a little Alice In Wonderland.
I wonder whether they had to spend a lot of time convincing Chris Hemsworth it was integral to his Bad Times At The El Royale character that he appear unable to button him shirt. It’s very nice for us though, and it does allow Hemsworth to stand out amongst a very good cast.
It seems that whenever Rowan Atkinson needs some money, he makes a Johnny English movie – as it’s not exactly like the world has been crying out for them. After the original in 2003 and a follow-up in 2011, a third film is now on its way.
Ever since it was first hinted there might be a remake of Dario Argento’s classic 1977 horror movie Suspiria, people have been grumbling that it shouldn’t be touched. However, it appears from the new trailer for Call Me By Your Name director Luca Guadagnino’s new take on the story is keen to show this will be a very different film. And it’s potentially a very interesting one.
