Watch: Teaser Trailer for Takashi Shimizu's Newest US Thriller '7500'

"We're approach a little rough air." CBS Films has unveiled the first teaser trailer from IGN for Takashi Shimizu's new US horror-thriller 7500, about passengers on a long flight across the Pacific who encounter some freaky "supernatural forces" on the plane. The ensemble cast includes Leslie Bibb (above), Jamie Chung, Amy Smart, Ryan Kwanten and Scout Taylor-Compton. If you've been afraid to fly since that crash scene in The Grey, this film is really going to put you over the top, truly make you never want to fly again. It looks creepy in all the right ways, definitely looking forward to see what Shimizu is hiding. Enjoy!

Official Trailer for Stoner Comedy 'High Road' Featuring Lizzy Caplan

By Alex Billington

"I'm gone for six hours and you make out with your boss?!" Millennium Entertainment has debuted a new trailer on Hulu (via Cinema Blend) for a stoner comedy of sorts called High Road, written and directed by actor Matt Walsh, about some pot dealer and the crazy stuff happening to him in his life. The cast is the best part about it, including: Lizzy Caplan, Abby Elliott, Ed Helms, Dylan O'Brien, James Pumphrey, Rob Riggle, Horatio Sans, Zach Woods, and of course, Joe Lo Truglio. This looks somewhat amusing, maybe briefly entertaining, but not that great honestly. It is a comedy, so a few of you may laugh more than me. Have fun!

Sundance 2012: Magnolia Gets 'Compliance', '2 Days', 'Nobody Walks'

By Alex Billington

Magnolia Pictures went on a buying spree recently to wrap up the 2012 Sundance Film Festival this weekend. While the indie distributor, still owned by Mark Cuban, already picked up the horror anthology V/H/S and the doc Queen of Versailles, three more big acquisitions have rolled in very recently. Magnolia is picking up the controversial fast food abuse drama Compliance, written & directed by Craig Zobel, as well as Julie Delpy's new comedy 2 Days in New York, a sequel to her 2 Days in Paris, and Ry Russo-Young's drama Nobody Walks, starring Olivia Thirlby, John Krasinski and Rosemarie DeWitt. More info below!

Sundance 2012 Awards Revealed - 'Beasts' & 'Surrogate' Top Winners

By Alex Billington

Sundance Film Festival - Beasts of the Southern Wild

The official awards for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival were announced tonight at a ceremony in Park City. The Sundance awards are always very interesting to follow each year, because the winners are either entirely unexpected or totally deserving, and we've certainly got plenty of both again this year. However, the biggest winner and my own top favorite film of the festival was Benh Zeitlin's Beasts of the Southern Wild, a tremendous piece of cinema (read my review) which is one of the best discoveries of this year's fest. The full list of winners, including the five Audience Award winners (to also keep an eye on), can be found below.

Must Watch: Crazy Red Band Trailer for Bobcat's 'God Bless America'

By Alex Billington

"Why have a civilization if we're no longer interested in being civilized?" Magnolia has unveiled the first official red band trailer on Hulu (via The Film Stage) for the crazy indie comedy God Bless America, the new film from Bobcat Goldthwait (Sleeping Dogs Lie, World's Greatest Dad). It's essentially the ultimate shoot 'em up catharsis film for anyone who hates selfish, arrogant American idiots and what our culture has become (you'll get a taste of it in this trailer). I saw this film at TIFF last year and it's downright hilarious, but be aware that it's very dark and violent, this is Bobcat. But if you're already intrigued, then take a look!

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.

Sundance 2012 Sales: Nicholas Jarecki's 'Arbitrage' and 'Red Lights'

By Alex Billington

Three more major Sundance acquisitions to report on. Deals at the festival seem to be picking up steam as the fest continues, with three films that premiered over the last weekend landing distributors. First up, one of my personal favorites, Nicholas Jarecki's New York-set legal/financial thriller Arbitrage, was acquired by Roadside Attractions & Lionsgate for $2.5 million. Glad to hear, as it's a film that I will happily follow and support up to its release. Next up, Rodrigo Cortés' controversial Red Lights starring Robert De Niro was acquired by Millennium Entertainment. One other film from the fest is also nearing a deal. Read on!

Sundance 2012 Sales: 'Celeste & Jesse', 'Beasts' and 'The Surrogate'

By Alex Billington

It has been a fairly slow start for Sundance deals this year, but today is when everything began to hit. Not only was it confirmed, only a few hours after it premiered to a standing ovation, that Fox Searchlight was buying The Surrogate for $6 million, but a number of other deals have come through today. Searchlight is also on the prowl buying another one of the most highly-buzzed about films, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and Sony Pictures Classics just nabbed the comedy Celeste & Jesse Forever. A few other sales hit over the weekend for a few other films, but many of my favorite films haven't been picked up by anyone yet.

Watch: Another International Trailer for Annaud's 'Black Gold' Lands

By Alex Billington

"Sultan considers the exploitation of the Yellow Belt a violation of the treaty. May god protect us all." Another shorter new international trailer has popped up on YouTube (via TMB) for Jean-Jacques Annaud's Arabian oil epic Black Gold, starring a great cast, including Mark Strong as Sultan Amar, seen above. We also featured a fantastic longer trailer for this late last year, and I've been anxiously awaiting it ever since, as it looks spectacular but I don't know when it'll arrive in US theaters. The cast includes Tahar Rahim (of A Prophet), Freida Pinto (of Slumdog Millionaire, Miral) and of course Antonio Banderas. Take a look!

Kevin Smith's SModcast Pictures Partnering with Distributor Phase 4

By Alex Billington

On the exact one year anniversary of the world premiere of Kevin Smith's Red State at Sundance 2011 last year (our review), Smith and Phase 4 Films have announced a new partnership. Phase 4 and Kevin Smith's SModcast Pictures Presents label have partnered for distribution of "up to twelve films per year" moving forward. It looks like there's no more self-distribution, even though Red State was an indie hit and they made back all their money (and more). "We had a terrific experience working with Kevin and his team on Red State in Canada and are thrilled to be embarking on this new venture with him," said Phase 4's CEO.

Watch: Trailer for Sundance Fave Destin Cretton's 'I Am Not a Hipster'

By Alex Billington

Want an early look at one of my favorite films of Sundance and one of the most buzzed about flicks here? Here's the trailer for Destin Cretton's I Am Not a Hipster, starring Dominic Bogart as Brook, which I saw last week and completely loved. While this trailer has been out for a few months (via SlashFilm), we're just featuring it today as it's one film from this fest that I can't get out of my mind and one that I hope goes far after as well. I think this trailer does a good job of introducing you to Brook, the music, and feeling of the film, and I highly recommend catching it whenever it does get released. I'll be keeping a close watch on this!

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.
