‘John Carter’ Featurette: More Comedy, Less Sci-Fi Action
Feb 2nd
The comparatively threatening Martian creatures and provocative elements in author Edgar Rice Burrough’s original John Carter novels have been made somewhat “friendlier” in Walt Disney Picture’s upcoming film adaptation – be they the 12-foot tall native inhabitants of Mars, Carter’s “Martian dog” Woola, or even the thunderous White Apes which the hero battles in a death match. Previously-released John Carter promos has been primarily focused on footage featuring lots of CGI spectacle and grand-scale sci-fi action. Today, we have a new featurette that offers an early taste of the film’s approach to humor (among other things). Disney’s John Carter movie tells the story of its namesake (Taylor Kitsch), an ex-military captain who’s still in mourning over the loss of his family during the Civil War.

Jan 6th
Elizabeth Olsen really made a splash at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival, between her starring turns in the (now, critically-acclaimed) Martha Marcy May Marlene – and Silent House , a psychological horror flick based on writer/director Gustavo Hernández’ 2010 film The Silent House , now helmed by Open Water directing/producing duo Chris Kentis and Laura Lau. While a trailer has been released for Silent House , it can only allude to one of the film’s most unusual qualities: that it was shot and edited to create the illusion that all the onscreen madness takes place in real-time – and thus, unfolds over the course of a single, uninterrupted take. Silent House revolves around a young woman named Sarah (Olsen) who is visiting her family’s dilapidated lake house along with her father, when they inexplicably find themselves under attack by mysterious …
