If there’s ever been a classic horror film that doesn’t need a sequel, it’s Carrie. Stephen King’s debut novel was masterfully adapted into a 1976 film by Brian De Palma and quickly became a runaway hit. In fact it’s likely because of the film’s success that the prolific author so quickly became a household name. Published in 1974, the semi-epistolary novel follows Carrie White, a high school senior who’s spent her life taking abuse from her ultra-religious mother and savage classmates. Finally pushed too far, Carrie unleashes her telekinetic power with a fiery vengeance that lays waste to the cruel and kind alike. De Palma faithfully adapted King’s original novel to create a terrifying exploration of long-term abuse and self-defense gone terribly wrong. The image of Carrie (Sissy Spacek) covered in blood as she walks through a burning prom has become an indelible image...

Los Angeles, Aug 7 (Ians) ‘The Bear’ star Jeremy Allen White appears to have moved on after his divorce from his childhood sweetheart, and was seen passionately kissing model Ashley Moore.
The actor, who plays chef Carmen Berzatto in ‘The Bear’, was married to actress Addison Timlin for just three years before she filed for divorce back in May, reports Mirror.co.uk. The pair are thought to have met when they were just teenagers and share two daughters together – Ezer, four, and Dolores, two.
It seems as though 32-year-old Jeremy has put all of that behind him, however, as he was spotted snogging and hugging Ashley, 30. The pair were seen in Los Angeles as they wrapped their arms around one another and locked lips.
Mirror.co.uk further states that the pair were also seen sharing a coffee together as they walked along the city streets. Jeremy wore a green...

That’s not how real women look!
When it comes to depictions of women’s bodies, Hollywood and the fashion industry have long faced criticism for missing the mark. That’s why the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media is teaming up with production companies Rose Pictures and Besties Make Movies on the documentary “Nothing Fits.”
Jennifer Holness, an alum of Davis’ Bentonville Film Festival, is attached to direct the feature film, which will examine the impact Hollywood and fashion have had on how multiple generations of women feel about their bodies and the struggles faced by those who do not fit the industries’ standard beauty norms.
“Nothing Fits” will take a deep dive into more than a century of fashion and deconstruct how it has elevated certain female body types while leaving others behind. The documentary aims to capture the experiential connection that women feel with fashion, while...

Actor Jeremy Allen White’s wife has filed for divorce after more than three years of marriage. Actress Addison Timlin filed the request for legal separation from ‘The Bear and Shameless’ star in Los Angeles, reports Mirror.co.uk.
The pair have been married since October 2019, when they tied the knot at the Beverly Hills courthouse. They share two daughters together, Ezer and Dolores.
As per Mirror.co.uk, while the reason for their split remains unclear, it comes just four months after Jeremy paid tribute to his wife when he accepted a Golden Globe award.
Addison and Jeremy are thought to have met when they were just teenagers after both working on the 2008 film ‘Afterschool’.

Jeremy Allen White's love story with his wife, Addison Timlin, has seemingly come to an end, as Timlin filed for divorce after three years of marriage on May 11.
While many may think the pair first connected in the late aughts when the two appeared in the 2008 film "Afterschool" together, they actually met long before that. The actors fell in love in 2005 during their freshman year while attending the same performing arts high school in New York City, but they didn't start dating at the time because . . . well, they were high-school freshmen, and life happens. They had a falling out, but then they got cast in "Afterschool," which brought them back together. Their journeys in, and out, and then back into each other's lives would ultimately serve as what they thought would be lifelong love and commitment.

Robert Pattinson’s florid preacher is one of a gallery of geeks and grotesques in this grisly smalltown tale
This gruesome, violent, backwoods-gothic noir is directed by Antonio Campos (known for his more intimate chillers such as Afterschool and Christine) and adapted from the 2011 novel by Donald Ray Pollock – and it’s the author himself who supplies the deadpan drawl of narration. In the small town of Knockemstiff, Ohio (name not made up), grisly horrors metastasise over generations.
Tom Holland plays Arvin, a troubled orphan teen, haunted by the loss of his parents; his stepsister Lenora (Eliza Scanlen) has a chilling connection with a creepy local couple, Carl and Sandy (Jason Clarke and Riley Keough), who have a penchant for driving around picking up hitchhikers: these trusting young men tend to go missing afterwards. They’re also connected with the corrupt cop, Sheriff Bodecker (Sebastian Stan) and Lenora’s path...

It would’ve been improbable, ten years ago, to imagine the mind behind Afterschool directing a high-profile Netflix production marked minute-for-minute by recognizable faces, not least of which are the current Spider-Man and Batman. Yet major funding and marquee names have not dulled the uncompromising worldview of Antonio Campos, whose latest feature The Devil All the Time—adapting Donald Ray Pollock’s novel of the same name—weaves the decades-long vision of a small Ohio town in bleak (and I mean bleak) registers.
But when photographed by the brilliant Lol Crawley and featuring Robert Pattinson as a predatory southern preacher, The Devil All the Time is hardly some improbable offer. I talked to Campos about his collaborations, the Netflix machine, and something that seems worlds away from his form: laughter.

There is no reason to care about anyone in Antonio Campos’ “The Devil All the Time,” . More a pileup of scenes and tragedies strung together than the Altmanesque kaleidoscope of intersecting lives it could have been, this slog of an adaptation from Donald Ray Pollock’s terrific Appalachian gothic is dead from the start, with stars like Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson eagerly doing their best to resuscitate the corpse for a nearly two-and-a-half-hour running time.
Director Campos has excelled in mining the masculine and feminine in much smaller-scale movies like indies “Afterschool,” “Simon Killer,” and “Christine,” but that once nimble and focused approach — generally on films that chart an individual’s psychic unraveling into a murderer, sociopath, or suicide case — doesn’t translate successfully to a broader canvas. “The Devil All the Time” has to juggle so many characters that it becomes incoherent and basically boring onscreen, bobbing more...

"When people look back on it, they had no other choice..." Netflix has revealed the official trailer for The Devil All the Time, an adaptation of the novel by Donald Ray Pollock from filmmaker Antonio Campos. Some people are just born to be buried, the trailer says. In the 1960s after World War II in Southern Ohio, a melange of bizarre, compelling and mentally disturbed people suffer from the war's psychological damages. Tom Holland stars in the lead role as Arvin Russell. And the film's ensemble cast includes Robert Pattinson, Jason Clarke, Riley Keough, Sebastian Stan, Eliza Scanlan, Bill Skarsgård, Mia Wasikowska, Harry Melling, and Haley Bennett. Spanning the time between World War II and the Vietnam war, The Devil All the Time renders a seductive and horrific landscape that pits the just against the corrupted. Who's down for some Ohio craziness? This most certainly does look compelling. Here's the...

The Devil All the Time Trailer: Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Riley Keough & More Lead Gothic Drama
Simon Killer, Afterschool, and Christine director Antonio Campos is back with his most ambitious project yet, the gothic drama The Devil All the Time. Featuring the stacked cast of Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Riley Keough, Jason Clarke, Sebastian Stan, Haley Bennett, Harry Melling, Eliza Scanlen, Mia Wasikowska, and Robert Pattinson, the first trailer has now arrived ahead of a release next month on Netflix.
Based on Donald Ray Pollock’s novel, the story weaves an explosive Midwestern Gothic tale spanning two decades, in which sinister characters converge around young Arvin Russell as he fights the evil forces that threaten him and everything he loves.
“It was a hard book to adapt also because there was so much that we loved,” Campos recently said. “I’m a big fan of southern gothic and noir and this was a perfect marriage of the two. Sometimes you might be adapting a piece and you think like,...

Ford will play Michael Peterson, accused of killing his wife Kathleen in this dramatisation of docu-series The Staircase.
Is Michael Peterson responsible for the death of his wife Kathleen, was it an accident, or did an owl do it? Questions at the heart of the very strange case documented in series The Staircase which began with eight episodes originally aired in 2004 following Peterson's murder trial. The series then continued in 2013 with two more episodess updating movements in the case, which was followed by another three in 2018. All 13 episodes are available to watch now on Netflix.
Peterson's much discussed story is now being turned into a series by Annapurna Television with Harrison Ford attached to star as well as executive producing. This would mark his first ever regular TV role. Writing the series is Antonio Campos who made movies Afterschool and Simon Killer, and for TV directed much of The Sinner.
Ford will play Michael Peterson, accused of killing his wife Kathleen in this dramatisation of docu-series The Staircase.

Harrison Ford could soon be taking on the first regular television role of his career.
Variety has learned exclusively from sources that the iconic movie star is attached to star in a series adaptation of “The Staircase,” the docuseries that detailed the trial of American novelist Michael Peterson, who was accused of murdering his wife in 2001. Peterson claimed his wife died after falling down the stairs at their home, but police suspected he bludgeoned her to death and staged the scene to look like an accident.
The project is currently being shopped to networks and streaming services. Ford is attached to executive produce the series in addition to starring. Antonio Campos will write and executive produce, with Annapurna Television producing. The docuseries was originally released in 2004, with creator Jean-Xavier de Lestrade updating with new information years later. Netflix released it as a 13-episode series in 2018.

Exclusive: Actor Theo James and producer Andrew D. Corkin are joining forces to produce theatrical and small-screen projects in the UK and U.S. with their new label Untapped.
“While our primary focus is genre and thriller, we are drawn to stories of conflicted humanity that force viewers to question how they would react when faced with real or existential threats,” said James. “These stories are often grounded in truth – literal or allegorical – encouraging us to confront and challenge the assumptions we make about ourselves and the world around us.”
Said Corkin: “We’re excited to solidify our partnership to tell complex, diverse stories across various mediums. Theo and I share a vision for how we want to build stories and worlds that both fit within the current marketplace and look beyond it.”
Already, James and Corkin have several film and TV projects in various stages of development, prep and post.

To celebrate the release of the twisted giallo-inspired love story Piercing – in select cinemas from 15th Feb. 2019 and available on digital 22nd Feb. 2019 – we are giving away a limited edition quad poster. Crimson Peak’s Mia Wasikowska and future A-lister Christopher Abbott star in a slick and twisted love story from the minds behind cult classic shockers Audition and Afterschool, and the Netflix hit The Sinner.
This sly and stylish urban psycho-thriller is based on the novel by the Japanese horror scribe Ryû Murakami, whose book Audition was so memorably adapted for the screen in 1999). Produced by indie heavyweights Antonio Campos (Netflix’s The Sinner) and Sean Durkin, this is a surreal, unique and unforgettable film experience from writer-director to watch Nicolas Pesce.

Tilda & Ezra 7 years ago. He learned from a master
We have been greatly remiss in celebrating Ezra Miller's rising fashion-icon insanity. I am pleased in retrospect to have been one of the five people who saw and admired his debut performance in the disturbing art film Afterschool which made $3,911* at the box office in 2009. I vividly remember seeing it because when I left the theater, a friend who worked at the Nashville Film Festival ran up to tell me that Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban had attended the screening directly before mine. (A tragedy truly: we saw the same movie at the same festival on the same day but weren't in the same showing. Argh!)
More than ever in 2018, Miller has proven that his casting as Tilda Swinton's son in his breakout picture, Lynne Ramsay's We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011) was more than a...

Unlike Sundance or Cannes, the SXSW Film Festival has undergone rapid changes over the past decade. Tied in with the swirling chaos of its Interactive and Music sections, the Austin-based event is known for the discovery of low-budget features and as a launch pad for edgy studio projects favored by the city’s hipsters.
Much of SXSW’s identity took shape during the early aughts, when current iTunes independent film coordinator Matt Dentler brought a range of new American talent into the program. When he left in 2008 for a job in New York, incoming SXSW film producer Janet Pierson was a programming newcomer but a veteran of scene. With her husband, John Pierson, she shepherded the careers of independent filmmakers like Kevin Smith, Spike Lee, and Errol Morris. With SXSW, she was tasked with funneling that experience into the ever-changing ecosystem of film and television.

Coming off what are arguably two of the best performances of his career in James Gray‘s “The Lost City Of Z” and the Safdies‘ “Good Time,” Robert Pattinson isn’t changing course. The actor is continuing to chase challenging roles with auteur directors, and his next sounds like it’s going to be another barn burner.
Earlier this year it was revealed that Pattinson was teaming up on an unnamed project with Antonio Campos, the filmmaker behind “Christine,” “Simon Killer,” and “Afterschool.” Now, Esquire has revealed the title of the film is “The Devil All The Time,” and it sounds like the actor is diving into a pretty steamy role.

Harold Ramis certainly didn’t invent it, but his Groundhog Day made the narrative loop device a mainstream mainstay, lovingly aped in everything from Source Code to Edge of Tomorrow to 50 First Dates.

The Tribeca Film Festival announced its second annual Tribeca TV program on Thursday and it includes a range of world premieres, popular show returns and a slate of independent pilots. One of the most highly anticipated debuts will be Hulu’s adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel, “The Handmaid’s Tale.”
Tribeca 2017 Lineup: New Fillms From Alex Gibney, Azazel Jacobs and Laurie Simmons Lead the Eclectic Mix
The series has been in the news lately, and not only because it will premiere soon. The dystopian story about a government forcing fertile women to become breeders for their high-ranking officials has struck a nerve among progressive women who are wary of having their health and reproductive rights controlled. Recently, protestors dressed in the handmaids’ red robes and white bonnets made an appearance in the Texas Senate gallery as its members were passing abortion legislation.

Antonio Campos gives the true story of the American TV news reporter who killed herself on air its second, superior big-screen telling
Two films made last year explored the wrenching, real-life story of the Florida-based local news reporter Christine Chubbuck who in 1974 took her own life on live television. Robert Greene’s Kate Plays Christine was a tricksy moral maze of a movie that explored the ethical dilemma of being a parasite of tragedy. By comparison, Antonio Campos’s Christine is less experimental in its approach, but this elegant, achingly sad study of debilitating depression is by no means a conventional piece of film-making. Deftly sidestepping any of the obvious narrative choices, this film confirms Campos (Afterschool, Simon Killer) as one of the most intelligent and consistently surprising film-makers working in Us indie cinema.

One of the best performances of the last year can be found in the latest film from Afterschool and Simon Killer director Antonio Campos, the character study Christine. His first feature based on a true story, it follows the final weeks of the life of Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall), a Florida-based news reporter who committed suicide live on air in the summer of 1974. With the film now available on VOD, we’re pleased to premiere an exclusive clip, which features Hall’s character on-air about a local zoning crisis.
I said in my review, “Hall, in one of her best performances, embodies Christine with searing intensity, staring blankly while her co-workers offer simple questions and in one remarkable scene, puzzling a woman offering many different solutions to help her situation. Her initially nervous energy eventually evolves into verbal explosions at her mother (J. Smith-Cameron) and Michael, placing the blame on...

With many turning online to get the latest in world events, the charm of the local news team is losing its luster for a certain generation. But director Antonio Campos (“Afterschool,” “Simon Killer“) takes audiences back to the polyester and cheesy music of 1970s television with “Christine,” albeit with a chillier edge, with his acclaimed drama telling a true story that remains shocking decades later.

Antonio Campos’ Christine was one of two films at this year’s Sundance Film Festival about the life (and death) of Florida reporter Christine Chubbock. (The other one was Robert Greene’s more meta exploration of Chubbuck’s story, Kate Plays Christine.) Now, The Orchard has released the first trailer for Campos’ film, which looks to be just as fascinatingly nerve-wracking and unpleasant as his previous films, Afterschool and Simon Killer.
Rebecca Hall (The Prestige) plays Chubbuck, a powerful personality who alternates between flirting with her co-worker (Michael C. Hall), and railing against her news station’s “if it bleeds, it leads” approach. Campos’ tone—and Hall’s wild-eyed, committed performance—make it clear that this isn’t a story with a happy ending, even if the trailer stops just short of revealing its grisly end. Christine arrives in theaters on October 14.

Easily the strangest coincidence at Sundance this year was the emergence of two films about Christine Chubbuck, a reporter who shot herself on the air in 1974: Robert Greene’s “Kate Plays Christine” and Antonio Campos’ “Christine.” Greene’s quasi-documentary, which stars indie mainstay Kate Lyn Sheil in the title role, hit theaters first, while Campos’ more conventional drama is set to arrive next month. Watch its trailer below.

The true story of Florida TV news reporter Christine Chubbuck has captured more than one filmmaker’s imagination. Earlier this year saw the release of the meta-movie “Kate Plays Christine” which is as much about the nature of telling Chubbuck’s story as the events leading up to her on-air suicide. But Antonio Campos (“Afterschool,” “Simon Killer“) is telling Chubbuck’s story from beginning to end with “Christine,” which is riding into the fall season following some big buzz at Sundance Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival.

After the formally rigorous character studies of Afterschool and Simon Killer, director Antonio Campos is back with Christine. His first feature based on a true story — also the basis of this summer’s stellar genre-defying documentary Kate Plays Christine — it follows the final weeks of the life of Christine Chubbuck (Rebecca Hall), a Florida-based news reporter who committed suicide live on air in the summer of 1974. Also led by Michael C. Hall, Tracy Letts, Maria Dizzia, Timothy Simons, J. Smith-Cameron, and Kim Shaw, an intense first trailer has now arrived ahead of the film’s release next month.

With three Sundance premieres under his belt, it may have only been a matter of time before Antonio Campos (Christine, Simon Killer, Afterschool) moved onto studio fare. It was less a matter of time that he’d direct a prequel to one of the most popular horror films in movie history, yet THR has word that 20th Century Fox seeks him for The First Omen, a movie who want to know a bit more about the possessed child named Damien.
Details on the project are a bit sparse, save for the involvement of screenwriter Ben Jacoby and, on the producing side, David S. Goyer‘s Phantom Four. Make of the suggestive title what you will — if you have any desire to think about this in any terms, I mean. The prospect of Campos’ static, long-shot aesthetic entering the big-studio reboot / remake realm is intriguing, certainly, but to what end, really?...

I actually rewatched The Omen fairly recently, and truth be told, I'd forgotten how hokey the thing is. The fact that it grossed boatloads of money in 1976 makes sense: it's broadly entertaining,...

Listen closely and you might hear haunting chants in the distance, because a prequel to 1976’s The Omen is in development at 20th Century Fox.
According to THR, 20th Century Fox is developing The First Omen, a prequel movie to The Omen, which first hit theaters nearly 40 years ago.
Written by Ben Jacoby (Bleed), The First Omen could have a director soon, as Antonio Campos (2016’s Christine, Simon Killer, Afterschool) is in talks to step behind the camera for the film. David Goyer and his Phantom Four label will produce the project.
As many horror fans know, The Omen focused on a young boy named Damien who was the Antichrist, often bringing suffering to those around him, including his adoptive parents: American Diplomat Robert Thorn (Gregory Peck) and Katherine Thorn (Lee Remick). The Omen was followed by three film sequels, a 2006 remake, and a sequel series called Damien that’s currently airing on A&E.
