Emmanuel Lubezki's 'Tree of Life' Wins ASC's Best Cinematography

By Alex Billington

It's time for the American Society of Cinematographers to award their best of the year, honoring the incredibly talented people behind the camera who make all these films look stunning. The 26th Annual ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards were held in Hollywood, and the big winner was Emmanuel Lubezki, taking top prize for his work in Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life. A deserving and expected win, as it was one of the most beautifully shot of last year. Wally Pfister won for 2010, and Lubezki won this once before, for Children of Men, and I'm sure he'll be up for this again next year with Gravity and Malick's other film.

Indie Trailer Sunday: Official Red Band for Drafthouse Films' 'The FP'

By Alex Billington

"Hey L Dubba E, I challenge you to a beat off!" Today's indie trailer is a red band for a film called The FP, directed by the Trost Brothers being distributed by Drafthouse Films. It's essentially The Warriors meets Dance Dance Revolution, the video game, in some crazy dark comedy mayhem. Director Jason Trost also stars as JTRO with Lee Valmassy as L Dubba E, Art Hsu, Caitlyn Folley, Nick Principe and Brandon Barrera as BTRO. This actually looks surprisingly good, like a great cult classic in the making. There's a lot of good humor in it. Though I do think this trailer shows pretty much everything up until the end, maybe too much.

First Look: An Astronaut Sharlto Copley in Sci-Fi 'The Europa Project'

By Alex Billington

Don't get too excited, this isn't Neill Blomkamp's new project retitled, it's another sci-fi movie that Sharlto Copley is in that he just finished shooting. ComingSoon found a first look photo in the latest Entertainment Weekly for The Europa Project and scanned it. Directed by Ecuadorian filmmaker Sebastián Cordero, Copley stars as one of six astronauts who make the arduous journey to Jupiter's frigid, glacial moon Europa in search of extraterrestrial life. How come I don't remember hearing too much about this, because it sounds awesome! Right after making this, he'll go onto Neill Blomkamp's sci-fi Elysium, too. View the scan below!

Spider-Man Viral Kicks Off with Peter Parker's Backpack Clue Pickup

By Alex Billington

Finally, the viral game we've been waiting for this year has kicked off! Earlier in the week, after the premiere of the new trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, we mentioned a new viral website for the Mark of the Spider-Man that launched. Since then, a twitter has launched @markofspiderman and has been spouting GPS locations all day. Where do they lead? Local pick-ups in six cities of a backpack, Peter Parker's backpack to be specific, containing a sketchbook and more school items. Hidden in there was a clue which pointed to a page on the viral site which then unlocked a countdown on the main website. It's time.

Check These Out: Flashy Capitol Motion Posters for 'Hunger Games'

By Alex Billington

Smile Away! Something fun for all the Hungers Games fans out there. Some "viral" marketing has popped up (via ComingSoon) in the form of ads from the Capitol for The Hunger Games movie, featuring three characters. Each one is basically an ad for a colorful product in the Capitol. There's one for Cinna, played by Lenny Kravitz, Katniss' stylist; one for Seneca Crane, played by Wes Bently, the Head Gamemaker; and one for interviewer Caesar Flickerman, played by Stanley Tucci, who looks like he's been distorted so much just to hide it's even him. These are kind of fun and flashy, more from the universe of Hunger Games.

Universal's 'Dracula Year Zero' Returns from the Dead with Gary Shore

By Alex Billington

A couple of years ago we were following a project at Universal called Dracula Year Zero, which had Alex Proyas directing, Sam Worthington starring. It stay in development for a while, even preparing to shoot, but was shut down over budget. Proyas went on to other projects (like Paradise Lost), so did Worthington. But Deadline is now saying Dracula Year Zero is, indeed, back from the dead, but with a new team. Michael De Luca (Moneyball) will still develop as producer, he's got Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless (Missile Command, Flash Gordon) writing a new draft of the script, with Gary Shore (The Draft) now in negotiations to direct.

Watch: Insanely Weird Trailer for 'Beyond The Black Rainbow' Sci-Fi

By Alex Billington

Let the new age of enlightenment begin. Ohh do we have something totally weird for you to end your week with. Magnet has unveiled the first official trailer via Apple for a strange, mysterious, trippy indie science fiction film called Beyond The Black Rainbow, written and directed by Panos Cosmatos. Deep within the mysterious Arboria Institute, a disturbed and beautiful girl is held captive by a doctor in search of inner peace. Her mind controlled by a sinister technology. The cast includes Eva Allan, Michael Rogers and Scott Hylands. This looks insane, yet potentially brilliant like Cube, I need to see it. Give it a shot below.

Saoirse Ronan Will Lead Overdue Snow White Film 'Order of Seven'

By Ethan Anderton

After leading the twisted sort of fairytale that was Hanna, young actress Saoirse Ronan will lead yet another drastically different variation on a classic story in what should be the last adaptation of Snow White we'll need for at least a decade. Variety reports Ronan has been tapped to lead Order of Seven, the Kung Fu centric telling of the tale that follows Olivia Sinclair, a British expatriate in 19th century Hong Kong, who seeks the protection of centuries old warriors, now a jaded group of outlaws (in place of the usual dwarves). After the reemergence of an ancient evil empress, Sinclair then helps the warriors reclaim their destiny.
