Berlin market-bound “The Trouble With Jessica,” which stars Rufus Sewell, Shirley Henderson and Olivia Williams, has launched its first trailer. It is being repped for global sales by Parkland Pictures.
The black comedy tells the story of two couples who find themselves having to move a dead body to ensure their imminent house sale doesn’t collapse.
Sewell (“Old”) and Williams (“The Father”) play one of the couples, Richard and Beth, while Henderson (“Harry Potter”) and Alan Tudyk (“Rogue One”) play their friends Sarah and Tom. Indira Varma (“Obi Wan Kenobi”) plays the eponymous doomed Jessica.
In the first trailer, which Variety unveils exclusively below ahead of the film’s Berlin market premiere later this month, the two couples are seen panicking after their friend Jessica dies by suicide in Sarah and Tom’s garden just as they are on the brink of selling the house for some much-needed cash.

Sir Anthony Hopkins recently received his sixth Academy Award nomination (for “The Father”). With his impressive body of work, it’s somewhat stunning to realize he was 54 years old before he became a household name.
Hopkins was born on New Year’s Eve in 1937 to working-class parents in Wales. He was inspired by fellow Welsh actor Richard Burton to study drama. Young Hopkins found success in theater, eventually becoming an understudy for Laurence Olivier, successfully taking over when Olivier became ill. Although his career was thriving in the theater, Hopkins decided to try his luck in television and films, and soon received his break in 1968 playing Richard the Lionheart in “The Lion in Winter.” Hopkins worked steadily on both the small and big screens, often receiving praise for his work. However, it was over 20 years before he became one of the most recognized actors in the world for a film...

Anthony Hopkins made his film debut 1968’s “The Lion in Winter” and the 83-year-old actor has become a lion in winter. He’s received extraordinary reviews for his devastating and poignant performance as an elderly man descending into dementia in “The Father,” which opened in theaters on Feb. 26.
AARP Movie for Grownups’ Tim Appelo stated: “Anthony Hopkins scores the performance of a lifetime as a man afflicted with dementia in a film that takes you inside his disintegrating reality — and also inside the experience of his daughter Anne (“The Favourite” Oscar winner Olivia Colman), who looks after him and faces terrifying decisions about his treatment.” Hopkins has won the British Independent Film Award for Best Actor, is nominated for a Golden Globe, SAG Award and Critics Choice honor and is a strong contender for an Oscar nomination.
Of course, he’s no stranger to Oscar. Hopkins won his only Academy...

Following his acclaimed debut feature “Der Bunker,” Germany’s Nikias Chryssos’ returns to dark fables with a timely tale of a mysterious cult in “A Pure Place.”
The offbeat coming-of-age tale follows two young siblings who live in a secret community on a remote Greek island, isolated from the rest of the world, which they consider impure and dangerous.
Chryssos, who stems from a Greek-German family, describes “A Pure Place” as a “magical, poetic” story inspired by Greek mythology that explores “the contrast between light and darkness, cleanliness and purity.”
In the film, the pristine community on the island is served by child slaves who toil down in the darkness below. The young boy Paul, played by Claude Heinrich, must challenge the obsessive community in order to free his sister Irina (Greta Bohacek) from the nefarious machinations of the cult leader (Sam Louwyck).

I think I had more fun reading the last three issues of The Thirteenth Doctor than I had watching the entire last series of the TV show. Jody Houser has certainly shown these characters can work well, can be interesting, and can feature in adventures that are just plain fun. The TV show was trying too hard to be ‘moral message of the week’, and fell between the twin stools of entertainment and education. It’s heart was in the right place, but on the whole misjudged both its audience and the tone. As some critics, or fanboys, or critical fanboys, were just looking for any excuse to criticize, this was unfortunate. The Thirteenth Doctor, when done right, is a good character. Just ask Jody Houser. But I digress…

Tagline: "His Collection is Almost Complete." *there are spoilers here. Director: Matt Winn. Writers: James Handel, Matt Winn and Chris Denne. Cast: Mischa Barton, Robert Knepper, Valene Kane, Charlotte Salt and Emily Atack. The Hoarder joins a growing collection of horror films set in a storage facility. From Storage (2009) to Self Storage (2013), this setting keeps production costs down and the characters trapped with the confines of a warehouse. This time, the characters are trapped like rats; but, something is trapped inside with them. A caged hamster symbolizes the characters' upcoming predicament. Meanwhile, the characters are so flawed by various vices that they are unable to help themselves or the others to escape. This makes the villain's murderous tasks that much easier. As well, The Hoarder offers a late social message on letting the past go. However, this message is acknowledged much too late by the protagonist; she is too busy covering up her indiscretions.
