Interview: 'Bullhead' Director Michael Roskam & Matthias Schoenaerts

Bullhead is a damn solid gangster movie. It tells the story of Jacky Vanmarsenille, a Belgian cattle farmer who gets caught up in the illegal side of the beef trade. Jacky has his own dark past, one that he struggles with every day, and the film shows how everything in one's world can come to a screeching halt all at once. Bullhead played at Fantastic Fest 2011. I was lucky enough to catch it there and instantly saw how powerful and engaging it is. I'm not alone, as Drafthouse Films picked it up for distribution shortly after its premiere. What's more, Bullhead was one of five films nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at this year's Oscars.

Check This Out: Amazing Fan-Made 'The Incredibles 2' Concept Art

By Alex Billington

Whoa. Calling Mr. Incredible! While we've heard from Brad Bird himself that it's very unlikely, at least for a while, that we'll see The Incredibles 2, one fan has taken on the massive of challenge of possibly hinting at what a sequel could be like. I was a sent an email from Edwin Rhemrev, a "visual development artist", who linked me to his own blog post featuring some Incredibles 2 concept art he created. But he reminds me "it's a fanproject though, so be aware these are not official Pixar images or anything" - indeed. All I had to do was take one look and was stunned, these are amazing, you've got to see them anyway, just to dream...

Watch: Aaron Sims' Incredible Sci-Fi Short 'Archetype' - The Next D9?

By Alex Billington

"My name is Patrick." This is something you've got to see! I was tipped by reader Josh E. about a sci-fi short on YouTube that I had to watch called Archetype. I decided to check it out and, as he'd promised, it was incredible and already has big numbers on YouTube, but could go even farther and be made into a movie. Archetype was created by effects/animation veteran Aaron Sims, and it's about these huge combat robots in the future, and one that has some sort of a... malfunction. It has a rather brilliant narrative in addition to an incredible world, very impressive work, I thought it was awesome. You do not want to miss seeing this!

Video Blog: 'Amazing Spider-Man' Worldwide Preview Event Footage!

By Alex Billington

Sony is kicking off their marketing for The Amazing Spider-Man today with a worldwide preview event held in numerous cities around the world. Fans were invited in and were shown the brand new trailer in 3D (watch the trailer online now) as well as eight minutes of extra never-before-seen footage, some of which was unfinished, but all of which was awesome. I've been very excited for this movie since our first tease at Comic-Con last year, but with the footage we saw today, I'm completely sold and even more hyped for this. Marc Webb was the right guy, Andrew Garfield was the right guy, this is looking better the more we see.

Is It Personal? No One Ever Likes the Best Picture Winner Anymore

By Alex Billington

Earlier today I got into a huge discussion on twitter about 3D, gimmicks, and how bad The Artist is (except that I love The Artist) and how much better Hugo is. It all started because @KrisTapley posed the question: "Which film will you remember more a year from now? The Artist or Hugo?" While I am not an awards blogger, I follow the awards season closely, and root for my faves. I'm on the side of The Artist this year, mainly because I really adore the film, but I've started to realize that no one really likes the Best Picture winner (for now I should say frontrunner) anymore. No one is ever happy, it's never the right film. Why?

Interview: 'Chronicle' Director Josh Trank on Making Telekinesis Real

By Alex Billington

Meet Josh Trank. Get to know his name. You will be hearing it quite a bit in the near future. Not only is he the very talented filmmaker behind the superpowers found-footage film Chronicle, which I've seen and is awesome, but he's already being pursued for the new Fantastic Four movie, too. With Chronicle arriving in theaters this weekend, I met up with Josh on Skype for a video chat and interview/discussion on how he got here, how he made this movie, plus everything else in-between, with references to Blair Witch Project, Stand By Me, Akira and even Jaws. Josh is a big cinephile like all of us and it was great to talk with him.

Sundance 2012 Interview: Mark Webber - 'The End of Love' Director

By Alex Billington

One of my favorite late-fest discoveries at Sundance 2012 was The End of Love, a film directed/written by, and starring, Mark Webber and his 2-year-old son. It's a beautiful film about a single father trying to raise a son, and the way Webber captures the connection and dialogue he has with his real boy is incredible. You may recognize Webber from any number of acting roles, as the "Talent" in Scott Pilgrim, or indies ranging from Explicit Ills to Shrink to Weapons, but he's as talented behind the screen as he is on it. Luckily, Ethan and I were able to meet up with Mark at Sundance for a fantastic interview about making The End of Love.

Interview: Joe Carnahan Discusses 'The Grey' & His Directing Career

By Alex Billington

"You suffer for your art; we're going to suffer on this one." Now playing in theaters is The Grey, a survival thriller directed by Joe Carnahan, of The A-Team most recently, as well as Smokin' Aces, Narc and Blood, Guts, Bullets & Octane. The film, starring Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo and Dallas Roberts, is about a group of Alaskan pipeline workers who crash in the wilderness and try to survive being hunted by wolves. I've seen the film a few times and it's awesome, I love it, so I jumped at the opportunity to speak with Joe Carnahan a few weeks back. We talk about his career and the incredible realism of The Grey.

Sundance 2012 Blog: In It for the Long Run - All the Way to Sunday!

By Alex Billington

I'm here all the way to the very end. Even though this is my sixth year at the Sundance Film Festival, for those past five years straight, I've attended all 10 days of the fest. Sundance (and most major film festivals) last a full 10 days, which is quite a long time when you think about it, spending 10 days in one location watching movies non-stop every single day. It's exhausting, mentally and physically, that's for sure, but I love it. I'm one of those people who does not bail early, who'll stay to the end just to stay to the end, just to get the full experience and most importantly catch up on any films that I really need to see before it's over.

Watch: Jason Segel in Fantastic First 'Jeff Who Lives at Home' Trailer

By Ethan Anderton

Just yesterday we highlighted the first poster for Jeff Who Lives at Home, a new comedy starring Jason Segel (The Muppets) and Ed Helms (The Hangover), but now it's time to get really pumped for the movie with the first official trailer which just debuted online. Like any truly great comedy, it doesn't just go for broad stroke laughter and jokes, but has a great, touching story at its core. The Duplass Brothers (The Puffy Chair, Cyrus) are behind the film which seems more like a homegrown story of struggling man with comedic elements rather than a straight-up comedy. Honestly, I can't wait to see this film. Watch below!

Kicking Off Sundance 2012 - What Films Will We Fall in Love With?

By Alex Billington

We're back in (soon-to-be snowy) Park City, Utah, bundled in layers of clothing, ready to kick off another Sundance Film Festival. This will be my sixth year in a row I've been attending this fest (I started going in 2007) and I'm always incredibly excited to be back. There's something in the air this time, I don't know if it's just me or if it's reading through the film selection on paper or what, but I have a feeling we might fall in love with some wonderful films at Sundance 2012. Or so that is my hope. I always come to every Sundance hoping to fall in love with a few films, to find "the Donnie Darko" or "the 500 Days of Summer" of this year.
