They find a strange building in the middle of the town, with no sign of entry or exit.If you haven't seen King of the Hill, I insist that you find a copy. It's an incredible film about a man and woman running from an unseen gunman in the hills of Spain, playing on rural thriller tropes and video game aesthetics. (In...

There’s a new comic book-to-film production house working on bringing some lesser known properties to the screen: Vigilante Entertainment, headed up by Hicham Benkirane, formerly in charge of the brilliantly titled Les Humanoides Associes.
While Vigilante has rights to many Les Humanoides Associes properties such as Miss: Better Living Through Crime, The Book of Jack and Fragile (a zombie love story), the first project they’re setting their sights on is an adaptation of Warren Ellis’ Black Summer. Ellis was also responsible for Red, which is going into production over at Summit Films with Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman. According to Variety, the plot of Summer is pretty sweet:
“[Black Summer centers on] superhero team the Seven Guns, a group of scientist-adventurers who modified their own bodies for street-fighting in order to take back their West Coast city from a corrupt police force, criminal local government and rapacious private security forces.”
What’s less sweet?...

Looking over the news from the week of March 22-28, 2009, quite frankly, not much of it sparked a lot of enthusiasm. But there were a few items that made me go hmmmm, especially compared to the rest. First up is a low, but in an effort to keep things moving in a productive direction, the rest of the list are (cross your fingers) highs.
A chill came to my heart when I saw the chat with screenwriters Stiles White and Juliet Snowden. These people were at least partially responsible for the train wreck known as Knowing (they share credit with Ryne Douglas Pearson and Stuart Hazeldine), and I cannot imagine entrusting such classics as Poltergeist and The Birds to them. On the other hand, if by chance they were involved with scripting the few enjoyable parts of Knowing (i.e., before all parties involved lost control of themselves), then maybe...

Another day, another apocalypse
Toward the end of Knowing, the hyper new sci-fi parable, wide-eyed star Nic Cage wails, “How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?” At this point, the movie has hurtled through so many breathless sequences of disaster violence that the plot has virtually shut down, but still, it’s a fair question. And in one of the only moments of real verve, the movie comes up with an unlikely answer: Sorry, Nic, but you don’t.

Our thoughts: Science and religion collide again on the big screen in Alex Proyas’ latest sci-fi thriller “Knowing,” in which Nicholas Cage makes a shocking discovery and tries everything in his power to prevent the end of humanity. It’s definitely not a terrible flick, but I did come across several aspects I simply couldn’t appreciate.

There was more snacking than feasting at the domestic boxoffice this weekend.
Summit Entertainment's suspense thriller "Knowing" bowed at No. 1 with an estimated $24.8 million, while two other wide openers also registered respectable sums. Paramount's R-rated comedy "I Love You, Man" debuted in second place with $18 million, and Universal's spy thriller "Duplicity" took third with $14.4 million.
Holdover pics also contributed decent performances. But despite such sturdy grosses, the session's $107 million in industrywide boxoffice marked a 6% dip when compared with an Easter 2008 weekend topped by two $20 million-plus performers.
Nielsen Edi data show the latest frame represents just the third year-over-year down session in 11 frames this year, and industryites remain upbeat about the current theatrical marketplace. Year-to-date, 2009 is pacing 1% head of the same portion of last year at $2.02 billion, but the modest nature of that improvement reflects seasonal fluctuations in the boxoffice calendar.

Not since The Butterfly Effect has a movie punched across such a goofy storyline with such wholehearted conviction as Knowing. The fact that the film has you holding your breath as often as it inspires you to roll your eyes is a credit to director Alex Proyas.
Proyas has proven, with The Crow and Dark City, that he can spin spellbinding cinema when provided with strong material, and here demonstrates his ability to command some measure of attention working with a script that seriously needs its head examined. It opens in 1959, when a class full of elementary-school kids is asked to draw their visions of what life will be like 50 years hence, to be put into a time capsule which will be unearthed after that time has gone by. Instead of a rocketship or a robot, little Lucinda (Lara Robinson) covers her paper with a series of apparently random numerals; after the capsule interment ceremony,...

Oh, for a clearer crystal ball.
Three wide openers look like they should do some decent boxoffice this weekend, but calling a favorite to finish atop the domestic rankings is tougher than usual.
Some say Summit Entertainment's sci-fi yarn "Knowing," starring Nicolas Cage and Rose Byrne, will unspool at No. 1 with well more than $20 million through Sunday. Support is strongest among older males, but older females and younger males also express good prerelease interest.
Still, considering it is the younger demos who tend to drive openings, it's perhaps unfortunate for Summit as its wide-release competition includes Paramount's R-rated comedy "I Love You, Man."
Toplined by Paul Rudd and Jason Segel -- who also paired in last year's "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" -- "Man" appears a lock for at least the teen millions. And if "Man" peels off too many younger moviegoers,...

Alex Proyas is a hard director to pin down. While he almost always deals with some sort of dark material, he takes genre conventions, mixes them up and often defies expectations. At least two of his films, The Crow and Dark City, are regarded as modern cult classics, with the latter blessed by a passionate Roger Ebert going to bat for it.
Although notoriously plagued by studio interference and power struggles on his most recent feature I, Robot, he has persevered and is ready to release a new vision onto screens—one that will surprise many viewers, both the eagerly anticipating and the cautiously approaching. That vision is contained in Knowing, the science-fiction thriller that Summit Entertainment releases this Friday.

"Knowing" reviewby Steve Ramos, Writer To the credit of filmmaker Alex Proyas and his five writers on the fantasy thriller "Knowing" it's difficult to successfully wrap a story about the cataclysmic end of the world. No matter what happens, someone will be disappointed.Based on a story by prolific author Ryne Douglas Pearson and adapted by Pearson, Proyas and three other screenwriters, "Knowing" has its share of clever mystery and creepy moments of suspense. But its unsatisfying ending, an attempt to neatly tie all loose ends via an inspirational bow, takes away much of its spooky fun. A Boston-area elementary school class draws pictures imagining their world 50 years into the future. Their work is placed in a time capsule in celebration of the 1959 dedication of their new school building.

Fox Searchlight has picked up Escape Artists' Knowing in turnaround from Columbia Pictures. The supernatural thriller, which has just been greenlighted, will be directed by Richard Kelly. The project will be Kelly's follow-up feature to cult favorite Donnie Darko, which he wrote and made his directorial debut on in 2001. Knowing is the story of a man who unearths a time capsule with children's drawings predicting the future that was buried in the 1950s. One child's drawings predicted several horrible events that already have come true; however, one of those events has not yet occurred, and the man sets out to prevent it from happening. Ryne Pearson wrote the original draft, which was rewritten by Kelly. Escape Artists partners Steve Tisch, Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and David Alper are producing the project. Kelly came aboard the project as writer and director in March 2002 (HR 3/11/2002).
