Here is something for all you Poe fans out there. Director Benjamin Cooper and writer Carl Edge have gone and adapted what has been considered Edgar Allan Poe's final and unfinished work, The Light-House Keeper. The original manuscript that Poe was writing was set up as a diary. Poe did not make it past Day Four before his death in 1849. The piece would inspire many authors to offer up their own 'finished' versions of the work throughout the decades to follow. We have been directed towards a 'poster' and a trailer for Edgar Allan Poe's Lighthouse Keeper which will be distributed by ITN in North America during the first quarter of 2017. In the movie, a young man awakens alone on a remote beach, marooned...

A CGI truck going over a cliff, a man in a hairy suit, murder and torn faces, surely this is a Sasquatch-ploitation film. Primitive might be more than that as its story tells tales of a special effects artist and his realistic nightmares. If he dreams of their death, then it happens not much later. Soon, a whole town is in danger with Martin (Matt O'Neill) connected to each of the gory murders. Who will be the next to meet the beast? Currently, Primitive is attending Cannes 2012 with distribution on the horizon. For now, enjoy the film's official trailer and poster found here and below. Director: Benjamin Cooper. Writer: Kenneth L. Province Jr. Producers: Benjamin Cooper. Cast: Matt O'Neill, Jeff Ryan and Reggie Bannister.

Movie-making isn't all parading around with Angelina Jolie and accepting Academy Awards. In fact, director Benjamin Cooper is here to tell us that on the low budget end of filmmaking it's all about being shrewd, making good decisions about everything and playing to your strengths. And Cooper is hoping with all this, and a little luck, his film Primitive can turn a profit.
Primitive is a pure creature feature. It's got the beastie with the claws and teeth, as well as the bloody wounds caused by them. Judging by what we've seen, it doesn't look like Cooper holds back too much on the gore. Kudos for that, Benjamin.
Cooper has a sneak preview for his film scheduled for October 8 at the inaugural Black October Art and Film Invasion in Vegas, as well as a limited theatrical run in its hometown of San Luis Obispo beginning on October 20. In the release...

White Collar - Season Two - Need to Know
At Fowler's mysterious meeting place, Peter and Diana wait for his contact, but lose him when he shows. The next day, Neal notices that Peter looks tired, and he mentions Elizabeth's away, a cover for Tiffani Thiessen's pregnancy. Neal exposits that Elizabeth's business is booming and soon Peter will be able to "retire early and become a house husband." Peter: "Because when you look at me you see soap operas and light housework?" Not to knock all the stay-at-home people out there but that made me laugh. They delve into the Case of the Crooked Politician and I wonder how they choose just one. Oh, I guess it's the one that gets turned in by his assistant. Political loyalty isn't what it used to be. The corrupt senator is Gary Jennings, a guy even Mozzie likes. I feel heartbreak a-coming.
