Invitation to Murder is a mystery film directed by Stephen Shimek.
Does a story about England, an invitation, different characters and a murder to be solved sound familiar? They’re called whodonit, and the greatest exponent of the genre was the ever-great Agatha Christie.
Here’s a charming film that captures the essence, step by step, without the minimum intent of originality.
Delightful in its evocation of English traditionalism.
And in its consequent repetition, too.
Movie Review
Curiously enough, this is actually a French production in which everything takes us to England, to those stories that, although already a bit worn out by repetition, continue to captivate. A good mystery for a film that, without a doubt, we have already seen.
There is nothing original in a film that is a tribute to the English writer and, in the end, little more than a rather televised episode that may entertain...

Is there a remake of The Blair Witch Project currently in the works? According to a strange casting call that recently went out across the web, there most certainly is. However, all signs would seem to indicate that this project is not connected to Artisan Entertainment, the production company that owns the rights to the Blair Witch franchise. A director named Stacy Hopkins is setting up shop in Glasgow, Scotland, and the casting call looks something like this: Dennis Hither, Michael Adams and Donald Walker, experienced filmmakers, set out to shoot a documentary about a local legend, the Blair Witch. We seek amateur/semi professional actors/actresses to play the roles of three experienced film makers, and females to play Michael’s girl friend. There are 4 roles available, with Dennis Hither being the lead role. We require mostly Canadian and U.S actors/actresses, all others should also apply. The...

Given the success of Paranormal Activity, it was only a matter of time before someone went back to the well, or in this case the woods, to try to capture that ever so special lightning in a bottle that all indie filmmakers pursue.
While it's far from officially announced, Bloody Disgusting caught wind of a sort of Blair Witch Project remake from director Stacy Hopkins that's getting set to start filming in Glasgow, Scotland, tentatively being referred to as The Blair Witch Remake -- a film about three inexperienced filmmakers who set out to shoot a documentary about a local legend.
Online casting resources such as Backstage put out a call to have the following roles filled:
Dennis Hither: 22-38, an experienced filmmaker, Lead; Michael Adams: 22-44, supporting; Donald Walker: 22-38, an experienced filmmaker; Allison James: 21-35, Michael's girlfriend.
Look for further clarification of what this project actually is soon.

A casting notice for a film called The Blair Witch Remake would seem to suggest, obviously enough, that The Blair Witch Project is being remade, but a close look at the circumstances raises a few questions. The characters listed are Dennis Hither, Michael Adams, Donald Walker and Allison James as opposed to Heather Donahue, Josh Leonard and Mike Williams. What's more, the female role is apparently not one of the filmmakers this time around, with Dennis listed as the main role. I'll put the full casting notices after the break. Another question mark hovers over the use of the Blair Witch name. I'd be very surprised if Lionsgate, who hold the rights to any sequels, would allow another film to pitch up on their turf like that. We know that Myrick and Sanchez have recently been talking about a third Blair Witch film... could this possibly be it? I'm pretty...

Producer Bob Greensworth is spearheading what some casting sites are calling The Blair Witch Remake . Shooting begins in December in Glasgow, Scotland and Stacy Hopkins is in line to direct. Principal roles looking to be filled are: Dennis Hither: 22-38, an experienced filmmaker, Lead; Michael Adams: 22-44, supporting; Donald Walker: 22-38, an experienced filmmaker; Allison James: 21-35, Michael's girlfriend. Our attempts to find a background on Greensworth and Hopkins have yielded nothing. This sounds very much like a spoof or a meta film in which we follow a group of filmmakers out to remake the '99 flick.
