An official teaser poster has been released for the Nimrod Antal reboot, Predators. The film is produced by Robert Rodriguez and has a cast led by Academy Award winner, Adrien Brody. While at SXSW, an exclusive 2 minute preview debuted of the film, and I have to admit, this movie looks a lot better than I thought it would. Check it out…
It’s here. The 2010 SXSW Film Festival has finally begun and it’s opened with a bang. Last night marked the world premiere of Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, the R-rated comic book movie that went from being the little engine that could to the talk of the town. The film centers on a group of unlikely heroes led by an awkward teenager who dresses up, fights crime, and takes down the bad guys. They can’t fly, they can’t see through walls, and they’re not invisible, but one thing is for sure…they can kick your ass.
Check out some early reactions to the very first screening of the film…
Check out The “Socalled” Movie where a real artist who follows his dream is able to take the internet and YouTube and become a massive success (apparently that really does work! Keep trying all your indie film-makers with crappy cameras and good ideas!). Thanks to the National Film Board of Canada and YouTube the feature-length documentary film titled The “Socalled” Movie will be premiered at the SXSW Film Festival on March 16.
The film is about Canadian musician, Socalled, whose debut music video garnered over 2M views on YouTube, is the subjects of the film and will also be performing at the festival on the 16th.
The SXSW Festival is almost here and the final preparations are being made for one of its biggest debuts, Kick-Ass. The Matthew Vaughn feature will premiere on opening day and over at MTV, they’ve unveiled a new promotional poster for the movie and announced the latest actors who’ll be attending the film’s panel.
The Argentinian Oscar-winning composer Gustavo Santaolalla is hitting the town of Austin this spring to lead a conversation with SXSW goers. SXSW is a huge event that combines film and music, so bringing Santaolalla in for a chat seems like a treat to anyone who plans to be there from March 12 through the 21st.
Santaolalla first came into the music industry in the 70s with his Latino folk/rock band Arco Iris. Then he went solo; and in 2000 he did what any talented musician should do at some time in their life — he scored a film. So at this event, Santaolalla will focus on his career as a film composer and record producer. Anyone looking to do this in the future should definitely attend.
Texas native Robert Rodriguez will debut footage from his new film at this year’s SXSW Festival, which happens to be the highly anticipated Predators reboot. He’s been a mainstay at the festival for years and during his latest visit he’ll bring the first look at his version of those orally challenged aliens from above.
SXSW has just announced their closing night titles, as well as some additional feature and shorts titles playing at this years 2010 festival taking place March 12-16. From the looks of it they picked up a few more hits from Sundance including Skateland, Four Lions and I’m Here , as well as some other titles that many of of have never heard of before. Lately I’ve heard a lot of buzz about When You’re Strange , a film about The Doors which was narrated by Johnny Depp.
Here’s all the new films added to the line-up…
SXSW has officially released the full lineup of films for their 2010 festival and it looks like we’re all in for a real treat.
