Tony Leung goes the secret agent route in ‘The Silent War’ – new posters
The first trailer for a new Chinese-language espionage film The Silent War is now online.

Brigitte Lin to come out of retirement for Zhang Yimou’s next film

Nope, it’s not a ‘Phantasm’ sequel – but ‘The Tall Man’ returns
French director Pascal Laugier made a big impression on horror fans worldwide with his 2008 effort Martyrs. The boundary-pushing film took the ‘torture porn’ genre to new heights – or was it new lows? – but actually managed to transcend its Hostel-like trappings thanks to a metaphysical spin on the story. Along with Inside, there’s no denying that Martyrs remains one of the key films of the New French Extremity, … Continue reading

David Cronenberg’s ‘Cosmopolis’ – New trailer
THE MOVIE: Last month, the first glimpse of David Cronenberg’s film Cosmopolis hit the web.

This time around, though, the director is finding his inspiration in the work of acclaimed author Don DeLillo (White Noise, Underworld) and he’s bringing along Twilight … Continue reading
