quietearth [Celluloid 05.15.12] United Kingdom zombies action comedy

While there may be some cheap CGI blood, the overall feel of this trailer says comedic gold! Nobody big directing or starring, just blood, gore, and stupidity. Not to be confused with Cockneys vs Zombies. [Continue reading (2 comments)]

quietearth [Celluloid 05.14.12] Republic of Korea scifi drama

quietearth [Celluloid 05.14.12] Spain post apocalyptic comedy drama

While this is a couple of years old it barely got attention. A short film anthology clocking in at somewhere over 30 minutes, it follows 7 survivors after a nuclear apocalypse and is billed as a dark comedy. It looks damn good. The Spanish title is Chroniques de Survivants. [Continue reading (1 comment)]

"Go ahead and scream your head off! We're miles from where anyone can hear you!" Ahh, how I loved Pee-Wee's Big Adventure with it's Rube Goldberg breakfast making machine and it's still funny today. According to a roundtable interview Collider did with Paul Reubens, Judd Apataow will be producing a new Pee-Wee flick, which Reubens co-wrote, and it'll be shooting any d...

This show has been causing a lot of conversation around here and now here's our first look at some footage from Revolution, the new post-apocalyptic tv show created by J.J.

quietearth [Celluloid 05.11.12] Argentina post apocalyptic fantasy

Reminiscent of HG Wells Time Machine, this post apocalyptic feature out of Argentian pits the literal upper class against the lower class. The latter lives in tunnels underground.

quietearth [Celluloid 05.10.12] western

Right behind news that my favorite cult director is raising coin for his next project is word that Pierre Spengler is also looking for funding to do an adaptation of Jodorowsky's comic Bouncer. It's reportedly a western about a one armed gunslinger which is filled with strange characters. I'm thinking El Topo. Problem is, there's very limited information available and... [Continue reading]

Pierre Spengler, whose produced countless movies (not many of them good) including Superman, is taking multiple comic projects to the Cannes film market looking to complete financing.

quietearth [Celluloid 05.10.12] scifi horror thriller

Wow, surpisingly no one besides /Film has picked up news on this incredible looking scifi trailer. Remember that Futurama movie Beast With a Billion Backs? Apparently Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn have taken that concept into the near future with advertising and mixed in some of John Carpenter's They Live. We have a trailer which is unfortunately dubbed in Rus... [Continue reading (4 comments)]

quietearth [Celluloid 05.09.12] United Kingdom apocalyptic comedy

This is being filed under apocalyptic since the synopsis we have below talks about the struggle .. for the future, not just theirs but humankind's. That's right, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost of Shaun of the Dead (which this sounds like) fame will be starring in this comedy which shoots in September. Don't disappoint us, Hot Fuzz sucked. [Continue reading (10 comments)]

quietearth [Celluloid 05.09.12]

As part of a yearly process to help film development, the Sundance Institute holds a directors/screenwriters lab in the summer. Wome good stuff has originated 5here. This years projects include a drunken astronaut comedy called Ajax (isn't that why the Mir came down?) and a girl deciding where to leave a post-cataclysmic Earth in Io. More details below.

quietearth [Celluloid 05.09.12] Canada scifi horror thriller

I think it's safe to say this is not going to be any type of apocalyptic flick now that we have a synopsis (below). However, I'm still hoping Brandon will be following the veins of his father's (David Cronenberg) body horror but unfortunately, the 3 pictures we have do not show much. This is one of our most anticipated films this year, and we'll be at Cannes to bring... [Continue reading]

quietearth [Celluloid 05.09.12] horror

Excision is defined as an omission which begs the question: Is there a cavity missing some body part? Or it could the copius amounts of blood shed in this incredible looking Sundance premierer which revolves around a high school girl with a surgical and sex fetish. The film stars porn star Traci Lords and Malcolm McDowell among other recognizable faces. [Continue reading (1 comment)]

Marina Antunes [Celluloid 05.08.12] thriller drama

We're cooling our heels trying not to get too wound up about the double hit of Cronenberg that will soon drown Cannes but I must admit, I'm having a hard time keeping a cool head where Cronenberg Sr.'s Cosmopolis is concerned. I've mostly enjoyed the director's films of late but admittedly, I miss the strange, otherworldly vibe that permeated many of his earlier works... [Continue reading]
