"Anyone can fall for scams..." Vertical Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for an indie drama titled Nigerian Prince, which first premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. Made by a New York-based Nigerian-American filmmaker, the film tells the story of a Nigerian-American teenager who is sent back to Nigeria indefinitely by his mother. There he joins forces with a dangerous internet scammer in order to figure out how to return to the United States. Antonio J Bell stars as Eze, along with Chinaza Uche, Tina Mba, Bimbo Manuel, Ebbe Bassey, Rita Edward, Craig Stott, Dean Cameron, Omar Maskati, and Russell G. Jones. This looks like it gets extra violent and way more intensely thrilling than it seems at the start. I'm definitely curious about this, looks like a well-made indie film. Take a look below. Here's the first official trailer for Faraday Okoro's Nigerian Prince, direct...

A gay love story that’s also just a great love story, full stop? Yay.

★★☆☆☆ Adapted from a 1995 memoir of the same name by Australian actor Timothy Conigrave, Holding the Man recounts the star-crossed love of a lifetime between the writer and his athletic, handsome beau, John Caleo. Both men would succumb to AIDS-related illnesses and it is a pity that this layered and temporally-shifting recollection, that spans more than fifteen years, registers so little genuinely stirring emotion given the rollercoaster tale of woe at hand. What should be a heart-wrenching viewing experience remains disappointingly flat despite two dedicated performances - from Ryan Corr and Craig Stott - that attempt to bring some intensity of feeling to Neil Armfield's film.

Anthony Lapaglia, Guy Pearce, Kerry Fox, Ryan Corr and Craig Stott are set to star in "Holding the Man," a film adaptation of the acclaimed Australian play which Neil Armfield ("Candy") is helming.
The story covers a fifteen year love affair between two men in late 1970s/1980s Melbourne. The couple deal with disapproval, separation and, ultimately death.
Corr and Stott play the two leads, with the other three and Camilla Ah Kin playing their parents. The lead roles are tricky because the actors have to run the gamut from playing 16-year-old students to men in their thirties.
There also had to be chemistry, and Stott has to lose a lot of weight to portray his later scenes where he's dying. The production will take a seven week break in order for Stott to drop the weight.
Shooting begins in Melbourne next week. The film production follows several successful stagings...

Anthony Lapaglia, Guy Pearce and Kerry Fox are to star alongside upcoming Australian pair Ryan Corr and Craig Stott when Candy director Neil Armfield begins filming Holding The Man in Melbourne next week.
Corr and Stott play Timothy Conigrave and John Caleo in this adaptation of a real-life boy-boy love story, while the other three – and also Camilla Ah Kin – play their parents.
“We would have done 400 auditions in six months for those two roles,” producer Kylie du Fresne told ScreenDaily.
It was a challenge in part because the actors are aged 16 and at school at the beginning of the film and in their 30s with a lot of life experience by the end. Sparks also had to fly between them. The creative team were open to casting four people but it was not their ideal.

While Sundance usually gets all the love, we'd be remiss if we didn't also focus on the horrific happenings taking place at this year's Slamdance 2013 Film Festival (January 18th to the 24th). The first two genre flicks have been announced, and we're sure there's more to come.
First up is Chad Crawford Kinkle’s Jug Face starring Lauren Ashley Carter, Sean Bridgers, Sean Young, Larry Fessenden, and Daniel Manche.
Jug Face tells the story of a teen, pregnant with her brother’s child, who tries to escape from a backwoods community when she discovers she must sacrifice herself to a creature in a pit. It was the grand prize winner of the 2011 Slamdance screenwriting competition.
Secondly we have directors Ben Peyser and Scott Rutherford's flick Billy Chen Presents: Ghost Team One starring Carlos Santos, Fernanda Romero, J.R. Villarreal, Meghan Folcone, Tony Cavalero, James Babson, Scott MacArthur, and Craig Stott.
