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!

Interview: 'Bullhead' Director Michael Roskam & Matthias Schoenaerts

By Jeremy Kirk

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.

Watch: First SXSW Trailer for Midnight Film 'The Aggression Scale'

By Alex Billington

What is The Aggression Scale? Wow, I am very impressed, I really want to see this now! THR posted the first promo trailer for The Aggression Scale, directed by Steven C. Miller, which was just announced as a world premiere in the SXSW Film Festival's midnight category next month. The original description states: 4 hitmen + $500,000 of stolen cash + 1 family = WAR. It basically looks like a home invasion meets crazy teens, and more, horror but I love this trailer, I love the music, it looks great. The cast includes Fabianne Therese, Dana Ashbrook, Derek Mears, Jacob Reynolds and Ray Wise. Highly suggest watching!

SXSW Announces 2012 Midnight Line-Up: 'V/H/S', '[REC] 3' & More

By Alex Billington

The 2012 SXSW Film Festival has announced another 11 films as part of their "Midnighters" line-up this year. We covered their reveal of the first 130 features selected for SXSW in Austin starting on March 9th, but these midnights are as exciting as they feature some of the more buzzed-about horror/genre titles. There's even one that says "Super Secret Screening" without any hints as to what it could be. Maybe it's just [REC] 4 to follow-up [REC] 3? I'm sure we'll find out soon. Our own Jeremy Kirk will be covering the fest. If you're also attending or curious, check out the midnight selection, some potentially fantastic films in here.

Official US Trailer for Nazis on the Moon Sci-Fi Film 'Iron Sky' Arrives

By Alex Billington

"We come in peace!" Another new trailer, the official US theatrical trailer, has debuted for Iron Sky, the crazy upcoming dark sci-fi comedy about the invasion of Nazis from the Dark Side of the Moon directed by Timo Vuorensola and starring Udo Kier, among others. While we've seen plenty of footage for this film already, including a recent Berlin teaser a few weeks ago, with the premiere coming soon and FX finally finished, they're going all out. This new trailer (via AICN) is a full-on English-language introduction to the concept and the Moon-Nazis. While the dialogue seems awfully cheesy, at least the sci-fi action looks good.

IFC Films Lands Fave Sundance Doc 'Room 237' About 'The Shining'

By Alex Billington

One of my favorite documentaries that I'm really hoping breaks out from Sundance this year is Room 237, a little-known, fan-favorite doc about Stanley Kubrick's The Shining and all the crazy conspiracy theories hidden within. It played in the New Frontier (the "experimental") category at Sundance this year. I caught it late in the fest with a bunch of film bloggers after we'd spent the night buzzing about it, and it surpassed all of our expectations, topping a lot of Best Of lists and earning a place in our hearts for just being a wacky but fascinating deconstruction of The Shining. Thankfully IFC Films has just acquired the doc for distribution!

Natalie Portman Joins the Ranks of Malick's Two Back-to-Back Films

By Alex Billington

Well, what do we have here? Deadline is reporting that Oscar winning actress Natalie Portman has finally lined up her next roles following her 'maternity leave' time off after winning the Black Swan Oscar. Portman is the latest to join the growing cast(s) of Terrence Malick's two new films that he's shooting back-to-back this year starring Christian Bale as well as Cate Blanchett, Haley Bennett, Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara. You may recall the names, Knight of Cups and Lawless, as they're both intriguing but that's all we know about both of them, not their premise or plot or much else, except that they may involve music. Read on!

Watch: Full Trailer for Nacho Vigalondo's New Comedy 'Extraterrestre'

By Alex Billington

"Love... is from another world." A brand new full-length trailer for Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo's new sci-fi/drama/comedy Extraterrestre, which just means Extraterrestrial in Spanish, has debuted over on Vimeo (via Bleeding Cool). Don't let that name trick you, this is barely sci-fi at all and there's not many extraterrestrials in it (no spoiler), but there is a beautiful lead actress by the name of Michelle Jenner. And you will watch this (over and over) for her alone. Julián Villagrán also stars as Julio, with Raúl Cimas and Carlos Areces. This trailer gives you an idea of the characters and how amusing is, give it a shot below.
