Not long ago, informed speculation pegged Danny Boyle’s next movie with Fox Searchlight as the story of Aron Ralston, the mountain climber who amputated his own arm to free himself from being trapped by a boulder. Now we know that is in fact his upcoming picture. The film even has a name: 127 H...

Review: Gentlemen Broncos

31 Oct 2009 07:02:00 PDT

Written by Cinematical staff
Gentlemen Broncos could have been great. It's about a teenage boy (Michael Angarano) whose fantasy novel featuring an underdog hero on a nonsensical planet (Sam Rockwell) is stolen by not only his washed-up hero author (Jemaine Clement) at a crash-course writing camp, but two insuffer...

After more than two years of start-and-stops, it finally looks like Arrested Development, the TV cult-com that launched poster geek Michael Cera’s career, will get a second life on the big screen. Mitchell Hurwitz, who in 2003 created the critically adored Fox comedy about the hilariou...

Fox Searchlight May Buy Into Ramones Biopic

01 Oct 2009 08:10:44 PDT

Written by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com)
No Related Post A Ramones biopic -- that being a film that sounds inherently cartoonish in the first place -- would be nothing without the band's music and the leeway to find great talent. An independent production based on the book I Slept with Joey Ramone, written by Joey's brother Mickey...

Review: Post Grad

21 Aug 2009 07:03:00 PDT

Written by Jeffrey M. Anderson
In comedy, there is a function known as a "straight man." Bud Abbott of Abbott and Costello and Oliver Hardy of Laurel and Hardy are the best-known examples of this. Their job is basically to be the springboard for the goofier member of the team, as well as other, more commonplace duties like r...

The Fantastic Mr. Fox Movie Trailer

Written by orfilms@gmail.com (slashfilm.com)
Meanwhile, the other day I mentioned that the film would premiere at the BFI London Film Festival (instead of at Venice, to which Fox Searchlight had reportedly applied, or TIFF) and wondered if that meant the movie wasn’t any good. Fox Searchlight contacted The Playlist and said it was th...

Meanwhile, when will we get a trailer? There was a lot of speculation that one would be attached to Ice Age 3 or 500 Days of Summer, but our sources now say we won’t see anything until August.

Sundance Review: 500 Days of Summer

17 Jan 2009 19:56:00 PST

Written by Erik Davis
The feel-good, Fox Searchlight-y film of the festival, 500 Days of Summer is like When Harry Met Sally ... if Sally turned around and repeatedly stabbed Harry in the heart with a toothpick. It's an anti-fairytale about a boy who falls head over dress shoes for the kind of girl who doesn't believ...

On a bright Toronto Morning, The Wrestler's director Darren Aronofsky still can't quite wrap his head around his past week: "It's been wild. Look, we started shooting in January; we finished the film five days ago. I was in Venice four days ago, with no buzz; three days ago, we won the Golden L...

Movie Review: Slumdog Millionaire

22 Nov 2008 21:30:00 PST

Written by Josh Tate
Is Slumdog Millionaire a story of coincidence? Partly. But mostly it's a story of destiny. When Jamal and his brother Salim were young orphans in Mumbai, they met a fellow orphan girl named Latika and that chance meeting eventually informed every event of Jamal's life. In his mind, he and Lat...

The film adaptation of the 1960’s era Sue Monk Kidd bestselling novel The Secret Life of Bees (Fox Searchlight) is the biggest surprise of the weekend. This "chick flick" is working in a big way coaxing $4M in opening day sales, and it will buzz to about $12.4M. With only 1,600 or so screens, thi...
