Entertaining Trailer For Indie Old Folk Road-Trip Comedy ‘Land Ho!’
At the beginning of the year, we had our first official look at indie project and Sundance sleeper hit LAND HO! Today, THN are very pleased to share the great looking trailer that follows the life of two old friends who were once brothers-in-law.
Mitch (Earl Lynn Nelson) and Colin (Paul Eenhoorn) were married to two sisters and close friends, but they drifted apart as Mitch and his wife divorced and Colin’s wife died. Now Mitch, a retired surgeon who can’t quite admit to being retired, recruits a reluctant Colin on a holiday to Iceland—just the ticket to perk up a pair who have endured their share of disappointments but still have a spirit of adventure in them.
This films like a fresh new twist on the road movie and also, most importantly, not just for the sake of it. It’s been doing the festival circuit and picking up loads of praise along the way, check out the trailer and let us know what you think!
Stephen King’s ‘It’ Floating To New Line By Steve Palace
Stephen King’s ‘It’ Floating To New Line
Warner Bros have been developing a new adaptation of Stephen King’s clowns ‘n coming of age horror novel for a few years now – this appears to be a giant shoe, sorry step, closer with the news that the film has shifted production to the studio’s dedicated horror division. New Line made their name with A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET before branching out into the RUSH HOUR and LORD OF THE RINGS franchises. However with THE CONJURING and this latest move it seems they are once again becoming a bespoke home for the genre.
You may be familiar with IT via the 1990 miniseries directed by Tommy Lee Wallace (HALLOWEEN III), featuring a terrifying Tim Curry as Pennywise, the clown who lives in the sewers and lures children to their deaths with the promise they will “float”. That was split into two hefty chunks and the new movie will be along the same lines with a double feature planned. One is about the characters as children and the next how they cope with the trauma again many years later. It has its detractors, but I’m a fan of the small screen version – the creature feature denouement is far from satisfactory but overall it’s an effective ride. While I’m not sure trying to sustain the tale over more than one trip to the cinema is the best idea it could be a healthy box office move for the company. With King’s GERALD’S GAME about to be filmed by OCULUS’s Mike Flanagan and numerous others on the slate this is also a fertile period for the author.

Relatively small movie SKYLINE is to
get a sequel, BEYOND SKYLINE. The news broke earlier this week during
Cannes with a Facebook page promoting the new endeavor going live
shortly after. SKYLINE was released at around the same time as Aaron
Eckhart’s soldiers versus alien’s pic BATTLE: LOS ANGELES, which given
the higher profile leading man stole most of the publicity away from
SKYLINE. Neither film made a great deal of money but SKYLINE gained a
cult audience and that audience has allowed the green light on a sequel.
The original writer and producer Liam
O’Donnell will go one role further this time and direct the sequel,
taking over from the Brothers Strause. SKYLINE wasn’t everyone’s cup of
tea and had a rather strange and twisted ending which was also handily
rather open-ended. Apparently it was always hoped that the film would
branch out and become a franchise and with this news it would appear
that they might well be on its way.
No plot details have been released yet
and it is unclear whether Eric Balfour, who played main man Jarrod, will
return, though I’d be interested in seeing how that would happen given
the fate of his character the first time around. A poster however has
been released and it would point to the teaming up of alien and human to
destroy the invaders, check it out below:

From ‘Blue Ruin’ To ‘Green Room’ For Jeremy Saulnier
Having scored a critical and commercial hit with the low budget revenge movie BLUE RUIN, it was only a matter of time before the labours of writer/director Jeremy Saulnier paid off. Announced at Cannes, financing has been secured for his next film, titled GREEN ROOM. Sounding like a variation on John Carpenter, with possibly a smattering of Johannes Roberts’ F (2010), the story is an enclosed battle for survival as a punk band become trapped at a venue by a pack of rampaging fascist skinheads. Set to begin production in September, the money is coming from the appropriately-shaded Broad Green Pictures, who will co-produce with RUIN’s Filmscience. Saulnier looks to be continuing in the visceral mode he started with his debut MURDER PARTY in 2007, with what sounds like a powder keg of a scenario just from the initial description.
