’The government understands audiovisual is a growth sector,’ - Incaa chief Ralph Haiek.
Ventana Sur market chief Jerome Paillard and Incaa president Ralph Haiek announced a new attendance record of more than 4,000 at the event’s 10th anniversary edition that wrapped in Buenos Aires on December 14.
Unsurprisingly, Argentine delegates represented the lion’s share of industry attendees, climbing 20% on 2017 to around 2,600. Paillard noted that international attendance outside Argentina climbed by 12% this year to more than 1,000 attendees.
Paillard attributed the increase to the fact that buyers keen to invest early in content appreciated the significant amount of works in progress at the market,...

Just days before its series premiere, Timeless is facing an untimely copyright lawsuit in California federal court. Spanish producer Onza Partners claims the NBC series is a ripoff of El Ministerio del Tiempo, the story of a three-person government team who travels to time to change the past, according to the complaint filed Tuesday. Onza principal Gonzalo Sagardia met with Gersh partner Roy Ashton at an international television conference in April 2015, seeking his help in packaging an American version of the show. Sagardia gave Ashton a DVD and other promotional materials with the understanding that, if the agent

Peter Cushing, born on this day in 1913, was one of the most respected and important actors in the horror and fantasy film genres. To his many fans, the British star, who died in 1994, was known as ‘The Gentle Man of Horror’ and is recognized for his work with Hammer Films which began in the late 1950’s, but he had numerous memorable roles outside of Hammer. A topnotch actor who was able to deliver superb performances on a consistent basis, Peter Cushing also had range. He could play both the hero and the villain with ease.
Here, according to We Are Movie Geeks, are Peter Cushing’s ten best roles:
Dr. Maitland
During the 1960s, Amicus Studios had a knack for borrowing from the pool of Hammer Studios actors and filmmakers to make their own Hammer-inspired films. While...

Warners answers the call for Hammer horror with four nifty thrillers starring the great Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The transfers are immaculate -- Technicolor was never richer than this. The only drawback is that Chris Lee's Dracula has so few lines of dialogue. On hi-def, Cushing's Frankenstein movie is a major re-discovery as well.

The Curse of the Werewolf
Directed by Terence Fisher
Written by Anthony Hinds
UK, 1961
The original Universal Studios Wolf Man left an indelible mark on film history, particularly in it’s painstakingly specific make-up transformation that turned Lon Chaney, Jr.’s Larry Talbot into the title character. That effect has hung over every werewolf feature since, with films trying to compete with makeup maestro Jack Pierce’s legendary design. 20 years after the first Wolf Man film, Hammer Horror took a stab at the monster, utilizing a script based on A Werewolf in Paris and a barrel-chested Oliver Reed in his first film role.
By the time Hammer got around to making their werewolf film they’d already found success with multiple Peter Cushing/Christopher Lee vehicles such as The Mummy, Dracula and Frankenstein, all of which displayed exciting makeup effects, and they continued the trend early on in The Curse of the Werewolf.

Roy Ashton is known as one of the greatest make up artists to work in film, working for Hammer and Amicus and doing fantastic work in the horror genre. He’s a FM favorite.
Distinctive Dummies‘ newest action figure in the Roy Ashton collection is a 12″ Arthur Grimsdyke, from the Amicus film Tales From The Crypt. From the “Poetic Justice” segment, Roy turned actor Peter Cushing’s “kind hearted pensioner, Arthur Grimsdyke, into an undead Zombie who rises from the grave to wreak his ghostly revenge on the person who wronged him.”
The action figure comes with a custom pro print box, custom hand made clothing, and a torn out heart… all of which is authorized by the Roy Ashton estate.
It’s priced at $104.99 and ships July 23rd, and can be ordered here.

Exclusive: Veteran Gersh TV lit agents Amy L. Retzinger and Rob Golenberg have left the agency. Both had been there for more than a decade. The move is a fallout from Gersh’s recent hire of CAA TV lit agent Roy Ashton as Partner and Head of the Television Literary Department and part of a restructuring at the department under Ashton. Neither Retzinger nor Golenberg have lined up their next gigs yet. There has been speculation that Retzinger might be headed to upstart Verve, while Golenberg is in the process of starting a representation/production business, which he will likely announce after the first of the year.

Voluptuous vampire vixens, high society diabolists, meandering mouldy mummies, rapacious reptiles, and zillions of zombies… Sound like fun? Well the new Hammer Horror Halloween season on Horror channel will be most definitely for you then! Showing on the channel from October 1st to October 31st, the Hammer season is introduced by author, broadcaster and critic Kim Newman.
The line-up includes:
Sat Oct 1st | 23:10 | Scars of Dracula (1970)
Christopher Lee’s fifth Dracula picture and was directed by Roy Ward Baker who was determined to do it in as gory a style as possible. The film’s greatest innovation, however, was to present a surprisingly verbose Count as Lee had been given very little dialogue in the previous Dracula movies, Bereft of an American pre-sale, Scars of Dracula and its support feature, The Horror of Frankenstein, were both produced on relatively low budgets

With CGI (computer generated imagery) becoming the new norm in filmmaking, (most recently the emergence of almost every film being made with 3D technology) fans have let their displeasure for this new gimmick be heard as most of them feel that the new 3D fad is just that..a fad and while CGI does improve upon a film, practical effects can be used just as well....
The argument for special effects is that when used right in film it provides a sense of realism and tangibility for the audience which heightens the film experience for the viewer. Using special effects over CGI also gives a film the "how'd they do that" factor which is when filmakers find other ways to create set pieces, costumes, etc. to enhance the wow aspect of the movie. Good examples showing the wow factor of special effects being used in film range in a wide...

The William Castle Film Collection (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, $80.95) includes eight pictures produced and directed by master showman Castle. In Part One of this lengthy DVD review, I dissected four of them—13 Ghosts, Homicidal and the two best, The Tingler and Mr. Sardonicus. Believe you me, it was a ghastly business! As Sardonicus would say, “I have known a ghoul—a disgusting creature that opens graves and feeds on corpses.” Like a DVD reviewer. See here.
In this epic conclusion, I am fitted out with a Strait-jacket (about time!) and also chronicle Zotz!, 13 Frightened Girls and The Old Dark House, the three Castle entries new to DVD (which lack the short, individual “making of” documentaries accompanying the other five). Only two of these eight flicks were shot in color (Girls, House); theatrical trailers are included with all of the movies. And that’s all you need to know as we continue—in amazing Screamarama,...
