There’s plenty to look forward to in Hulu’s incoming slate, including the latest “American Horror Story” installment, BAFTA winner “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and new “The Kardashians.” But unfortunately, the streamer has to lose to gain, and new content means a library cleanout.

“Silence. Darkness.” Those two words appear up front in most of Neil Labute’s stageplays, though his latest feature, “House of Darkness,” opens with a more playful “Once Upon a Time …” The film — Labute’s first in a bumpy seven-year stretch since “Dirty Weekend,” during which the provocateur was abruptly dropped by longtime Off Broadway partner McC Theater — starts out as a standard hookup scenario and twists into edgier, potentially supernatural “Promising Young Woman” territory. Part cautionary tale, part post-#MeToo ghost story, this sly chamber piece uses silence and darkness to its advantage, allowing audiences’ imaginations to fill in the spaces and shadows of an atypical one-night stand.

When “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” was released back in 1986, the teen drama starring Matthew Broderick never released a soundtrack to accompany the film. Now 30 years later, the John Hughes’ classic will get its own compilation of the songs featured in the film, thanks to a deal struck by La La Records and Paramount Pictures.
According to Salon, Paramount will release an authorized “Ferris Bueller” soundtrack, with songs and score, later this year to celebrate the movie’s 30th anniversary. At this time the track list is not finalized and a release date has not been announced, but could happen as early as September.

“A&M was very angry with me over that; they begged me to put one out, but I thought ‘who’d want all of these songs?'” Hughes told Lollipop in an interview.

Afternoon Delight: Enjoyable, Downplayed Provocation from Labute
Walking into a film called Dirty Weekend knowing it’s directed by Neil Labute, an author known for his pointedly misanthropic views of humanity often criticized for misogynistic tendencies floating around in his glorified explorations of the pathetic trappings of masculinity, one may have certain assumptions. Collaborating once again with actress Alice Eve following the enjoyable 2013 two-hander Some Velvet Morning, Labute concocts another dialogue heavy vehicle once again vaguely informed by titillating possibilities. Surprisingly, it’s potentially his least barbed appraisal of humans behaving badly to date, but ultimately never comes to the sort of money shot we’re expecting. Because of this, it leaves one with an abrupt jolt of being just another exploration of middle-aged malaise seen many times before, even though Labute manages to filter it through a pair of otherwise entertaining characters.

Here We Go Again: Evans’ Nondescript Venture a Familiar Recipe of Whirlwind Romance
Love is not a many splendored thing in actor Chris Evans’ directorial debut, Before We Go, a mediocre two-hander requiring a certain finesse not in evidence either before or in front of the camera, at least enough to believably carry us off into the sunset of illogical romantic inclinations. That’s not to say the film is terrible or even evidence that Evans should quit his day job, but mostly how it unfortunately elicits an overall and achingly constant ‘meh.’ Saddled with one of those vaguely poetic titles reminiscent of a slew of emotionally malleable indie films like Before I Disappear or Away We Go, even though it probably wants to be comparable to Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise/Sunset/Midnight trilogy, perhaps we shouldn’t be disappointed since the comfortably predictable narrative can’t be accused...

But don't get her wrong, she's proud of both her brain and her six-pack. In Neil Labute's latest film, "Dirty Weekend," which opens in limited release on September 4, Eve and co-star Matthew Broderick play co-workers who find themselves trapped on a layover in Albuquerque. The duo heads out on an adventure visiting sex shops, coffee houses and gay bars in attempt to solve a bit of a sexual mystery. As in much of Labute's work, the film features bitingly sharp dialogue and forces its main characters to explore their subconscious desires, even if society still considers them taboo.

For his new film Dirty Weekend, Neil Labute found the title first — a British term for a weekend spent away in secret — and went from there. “I think life is that way for a lot of people, where their private life is different than their public persona,” Labute told Vulture, who constructed his film around two such characters: Les (Matthew Broderick), a repressed family man who vaguely remembers his own drunken dirty weekend but can’t even recall what gender he romped with, and his co-worker Natalie (Alice Eve), who needles Les to open up during a company layover. In this exclusive scene from the film (opening in theaters and on VOD this Friday), she reveals quite the provocative secret of her own. “It’s a really pivotal scene,” said Labute of the moment when Natalie reveals she's in a sub/dom relationship with her girlfriend.

"This life, this is all part of life, and this is your life, so you just have to be yourself." eOne Films Us has debuted a trailer for the fun indie comedy Dirty Weekend, starring Matthew Broderick and Alice Eve. This is the latest film from filmmaker Neil Labute, and it premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. The story seems to follow two random, unlikely friends who meet-up while their plane is delayed at the Albuquerque airport, ending up on a weekend of fun, or something like that. I guess it doesn't really sound as dirty as that title makes it out to be because it's much more of a lighthearted comedy, though if you dig into it there are some raunchy things going on.

You know writer/director Neil Labute as a provocateur prone to poke, prod and instigate with confrontational takes on various social bugaboos. “Lake Terrace” explores interracial marriage, misogyny and sexism are tackled in “In The Company Of Men,” and his numerous plays and movies explore ideas concerning exploitation, power, duplicity and more. Labute has been focused on sexuality in the last several years, and he seems to be taking Alice Eve (“Star Trek: Into Darkness”) along for the ride. She starred in his 2012 roleplaying fantasy movie “Some Velvet Morning” and co-stars in the writer/director’s latest, “Dirty Weekend.” Yet our review from the recent Tribeca Film Festival says a “gentler, even sweet[er] Labute emerges” this time.

Read More: Watch: Matthew Broderick and Alice Eve Have a 'Dirty Weekend' in Tribeca Trailer The poster for Neil Labute's newest film "Dirty Weekend," which stars Matthew Broderick and Alive Eve as unlikely friends who find themselves on an adventure while delayed at the airport, debuts today exclusively on Indiewire. "Dirty Weekend" will premiere this Sunday at the Tribeca Film Festival, and has been included on Indiewire's list of the festival's 12 Must-See Films. From Neil Labute: "'Dirty Weekend' originally began as an idea for a film that would take place in London, with two work colleagues spending a long layover in that fair city on their way to some other European destination. As time and luck would have it, the film was finally financed but it was necessary to film it in the United States; I weighed all the good tax breaks in the...

Read More: 12 Must-See Films at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival When a film’s main promotional still image has two dildos in the foreground, you kind of know what you’re getting into, especially when that film was written and directed by Neil Labute. In "Dirty Weekend," two colleagues, Matthew Broderick and Alice Eve, are delayed in the Albuquerque airport. Their aimless wanderings naturally lead to intimate conversations, hidden secrets and a witty showdown. Despite the suggestive title, Labute’s reputation for digging into primal fantasies and human instinct suggests a highbrow examination of "the ripple effects of desire." Yet despite the film's description (and the dildos), from the look of this trailer, "Dirty Weekend" may also hit a few saccharin notes. Labute isn't just about the salacious. "Dirty Weekend" will screen at the Tribeca Film Festival. Read More: Cannes Will Open With a Film By a Female Director for the First Time.

While filmmaker Neil Labute has made a name for himself with a number of feature films since his debut in 1997, his last onscreen venture was the 2013 film Some Velvet Morning. In the interim, Labute has mainly been working in television, but his departure from features is poised to end at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, where he will unveil his newest feature.
Titled Dirty Weekend, Labute once again takes on both directing and screenwriting duties, with his Some Velvet Morning lead Alice Eve returning for this outing as well. She is joined by Matthew Broderick this time around, and the synopsis of the film is as follows.
Colleagues Les (Matthew Broderick) and Natalie (Alice Eve) are delayed in the Albuquerque airport. Restless, irritated, and unable to stand the service workers he meets at every turn, Les heads downtown. Natalie refuses to leave his side and discovers that his supposedly aimless wandering...

Neil Labute is working at quite the rate these days. His DirecTV series "Billy & Billie" just hit screens last month, and he's got his next feature ready to roll with "Dirty Weekend." With a Tribeca Film Festival premiere on deck, the first trailer has arrived. Matthew Broderick and Alice Eve lead the movie about two colleagues, Les and Natalie, whose delay at an Albuquerque airport turns into — you guessed it — a dirty weekend. Secrets are spilled, the ragtag pair become unlikely buds, and while it looks like your average indie comedy, with Labute's involvement, we're sure there are some interesting twists along the way.

Josh Duhamel and Alice Eve have joined Anthony Hopkins and Al Pacino in legal thriller Beyond Deceit, to be directed by scribe Shintaro Shimosawa (Fox’s The Following) in his directorial debut.
Malin Akerman, Byung-hun Lee, Glen Powell and Leah McKendrick will co-star in the pic, which centers on an ambitious young lawyer (Duhamel, replacing Dan Stevens after the latter actor dropped out over conflicts with Beauty and the Beast) who takes on a major case against the ruthless executive of a pharmaceutical giant, only to find himself framed for murder.
Eve will take on the supporting role of his wife, but it’s unclear whether Hopkins or Pacino will be playing the chief antagonist. Adam Mason and Simon Boyes (red-hot SXSW selection Hangman) penned the script, which Shimosawa then rewrote.
Beyond Deceit is just one more screen credit for Duhamel and Eve, who are each racking up tons right now.

Boiler Plate Weekend: Granier-Deferre’s Familiar, Forgettable Getaway
Inappropriate lovers contending with a criminal while trapped in an isolated locale is hardly an original premise on its own and Christophe Granier-Deferre’s directorial debut, Dirty Weekend, doesn’t supply the necessary energy to make up for its familiarity. Bypassing a theatrical release altogether, even its title has been subjected to reconsideration, initially titled Le Weekend (snagged by Roger Michell for his 2013 film), Neil Labute’s Alice Eve/Matthew Broderick vehicle will most likely superimpose Granier-Deferre’s alternate, as well. Rudimentary, predictable, and sometimes a bit forced in its bid for a comedic affect, you’ll see every narrative twist and turn miles before they land.
Arriving in Normandy from England for a weekend getaway, Mike’s (Jamie Palmer) actions seem immediately suspicious, finagling a car rental with cash rather than a credit card. He’s a married teacher that’s...

Director: Neil Labute
Writer: Neil Labute
Producers: Duncan Montgomery, Tiller Russell, Joey Stewart
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Matthew Broderick, Alice Eve, Phil Burke
It seems Labute had a positive experience working with Alice Eve in Some Velvet Morning because here she is again headlining his cast. While Broderick can certainly enhance a film when cast correctly (think Alexander Payne’s Election), we’re curious to see what’s really going on here. Knowing Labute, there’s some trick up his sleeve, hopefully the kind that has a generous payoff. 2013 was something of a return for Labute, with Velvet and the adaptation of his play, Some Girl(s) from Daisy von Scherler Mayer both being worthwhile indie features. We’re happy to see him continuing with his own work rather than the odd remakes.
