Smt Heads, Summer is more than half over. But with Music Box Films’ The Captain, you’re still getting coolest in the upcoming indie film. Also, don’t miss the soft breeze of Mary Queen Of Scots with Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie. Not mention 80’s homage, Breakarate!
Based on a disturbing true story, The Captain follows Willi Herold (Max Hubacher), a German army deserter who stumbles across an abandoned Nazi captain’s uniform during the last, desperate weeks of the Third Reich. Newly emboldened by the allure of a suit that he stole only to stay warm, Willi discovers that many Germans will follow the leader, whosoever that happens to be. A parade of fresh atrocities follow in the self-declared captain’s wake, and serve as a profound reminder of the consequences of social conformity and untrammeled political power.

Leprechaun creator Mark Jones, the man who helped make Warwick Davis a household name in households that like rhyme-heavy horror comedies more than Star Wars or Willow, has just lodged a legal complaint centered on his latest project. Jones is accusing a supposed lawyer of ruining his plans for Vamprechaun, a movie that sounds like Jones invented it while staring, bleary-eyed, at his kids’ overly-sugared breakfast cereals:

Jones is accusing Lance Thompson—a man who secured funding and acted as the production attorney for his 2014 revenge thriller Scorned—of falsely representing himself as a lawyer, and torpedoing Vamprechaun’s chances of ever merrily jigging its way to unlife. The troubles apparently started during a car trip the two men took together, in which Jones explained the film’s premise.

The man behind the cult horror-comedy Leprechaun franchise is out for blood in a copyright-infringement lawsuit over his new Vamprechaun project.
Mark Jones is suing Lance Thompson for allegedly lying about being an attorney and causing him to lose financing on his film, according to a complaint filed in California federal court.
Jones says he began developing the "vamprechaun" character — a leprechaun-vampire hybrid — in or before 2009. He put the project on hold because he was focused on finding funding for his 2013 film, Scorned, which was further along in the development process. Thompson secured funding for the film and also...

"90210" and Excision star AnnaLynne McCord has signed on for the revenge thriller Scorned alongside Titanic star Billy Zane and Viva Bianca from Starz's "Spartacus."
Per The Wrap, McCord and Zane will play Sadie and Kevin, a couple whose romantic weekend at a lake house takes a sideways turn when a text message from Sadie's best friend (played by Bianca) to Kevin reveals a lurid love affair between the two, sending Sadie on a vengeance spree. The director is Mark Jones, the creator and director of the Leprechaun horror-movie series, who co-wrote the screenplay with Sadie Katz.
Jones likened the project to "sophisticated" thrillers such as Fatal Attraction and Misery: "Having done horror with comedy, I wanted to delve into something more sophisticated along the lines of Fatal Attraction and Misery and develop a multi-dimensional, twisted character in our lead villain (McCord), who I feel brings an original and incredibly unique take on her character.
