In light of the unspeakable tragedy that occurred this week in Las Vegas, Marvel and Netflix have decided to drop their planned big reveal about The Punisher from this weekend’s New York Comic-Con schedule. It was expected that the long-awaited release date of the upcoming series would be unveiled at the event, and according to a new report, it seems that we might know just why this decision was made.

Newsday’s Verne Gay is alleging that “they’ve heard” that the reveal of the release date has been cancelled because Marvel have changed their plans about when to drop the TV show on the streaming service. The original launch date of mid-October will apparently now be pushed back until “late fall,” due to the Las Vegas tragedy.

Netflix and Marvel have canceled plans for a couple of events that were planned for their upcoming series The Punisher because of the Las Vegas shooting. They recently announced that they have pulled out of New York Comic Con and Marvel and Netflix released a joint statement on the decision, saying:

"We are stunned and saddened by this week’s senseless act in Las Vegas. After careful consideration, Netflix and Marvel have decided it wouldn’t be appropriate for Marvel’s The Punisher to participate in New York Comic Con. Our thoughts continue to be with the victims and those affected by this tragedy.”

Variety is also reporting that they have also canceled an event in Paris that was scheduled for Saturday. It was called "Nuit Noire (Black Night)" and the event was going to take place at the Cirque d’Hiver, which is a historical monument that is home...

When beloved Southern belle Verna Garr Taylor was found dead on a desolate highway in 1936, her mysterious killing — labeled a suicide by the main suspect, who was Kentucky’s former lieutenant governor and her fiancé — and ensuing murder case made headlines across the country.

But 80 years, two trials and an “honor” killing later, the case officially remains unsolved.

That doesn’t mean it’s a mystery anymore: Taylor’s distant cousin Ian Punnett tells People he’s uncovered the truth of what happened the November night she was killed in Kentucky — revelations he details in a new book about the case,...

**Spoilers ahead** You already know the story, but here's the short version: at the beginning of 2014, Quentin Tarantino announced he was shelving "The Hateful Eight," after the script leaked before he had even gotten the movie in front of cameras. Later that spring, Tarantino staged a live read of the leaked script (read our review), but announced he was in the process of rewriting it, and at end of the year he was back to making "The Hateful Eight," now with a new ending that was kept under lock and key. So, what changed? Essentially, the final act.

If you're reading this, you likely already know the central mystery of the movie is who among those...

Like his latest feature, The Comedy, there will be no film like Rick Alverson‘s Entertainment this year. With Gregg Turkington‘s portraying his alter ego Neil Hamburger, it’s an uncomfortable, often hilarious character study, and today brings another look. Along with an extensive clip, it’s been revealed the soundtrack — which will get 1,000 vinyl pressings — will not only feature music, but comedy segments as well.

We said in our review, “Every second of the 102-minute running time is felt. We’re trapped with this character on his never-ending journey, one that makes for an unpleasant watch. Yet the pace, imagery, and Turkington’s compelling performance add up to an unnerving comedy. Entertainment is the kind of film one never has to see again, but will be better off for having seen it.”

Check out the clip and soundtrack details below along with a conversation between Alverson and Stinking Heaven director Nathan Silver.

The musical selections that follow were made by Gregg Turkington, who appears in the lead role of "Entertainment," a film which he co-wrote with director Rick Alverson. "Entertainment" follows The Comedian, played by Turkington, as he makes his way across the California desert to Hollywood, performing at a string of third-rate venues along the way.

Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival is launching a cloud-based online platform for animation professionals, Animacloudly, with partial support from Creative Europe.

The platform aims to link animation talent and studios with festivals, sales agents and the advertising industry through work portfolios, artist and studio showcases, festival listings and a database of professionals in the animation industry.

“While the animation industry both in the arthouse and commercial sectors has seen a tremendous boom in the recent years, there has been a lack of coherent promotion platforms and databases that could cater to that potential,” said Mikk Granström, manager of Black Night’s sub-festivals.

“Animacloudly will tap into that pool by developing a joint communication tool that would direct the attention of the major industry players and festivals to the animation community thus providing viable business for both parties”.

Animacloudly was developed by Animated Dreams, the animation sub-festival of Black Nights, in partnership with Estonian startup Bmo.

Well, this got real. Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight," ever since the script leak, has been playing things close to the vest. Last month came the surprising news that Jennifer Jason Leigh grabbed the female lead, and now another starry name is circling the pic. Deadline's two sentence report reveals that Channing Tatum is eyeing the movie. Which role? Your guess is as good as ours, and even though we looked at the movie in depth twice—Black Night, White Hell: A Look At Quentin Tarantino’s 'The Hateful Eight' Western and Quentin Tarantino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’ Roars To Life Onstage With Samuel L.

The Hateful Eight may not be dead yet! Director Quentin Tarantino has announced that he is working on a third draft of the screenplay, and he may actually direct it next winter.

As it has been widely reported, Quentin Tarantino ditched his plans to make the Western his next movie after the first draft of the screenplay leaked online earlier this year. This past weekend, he held a one time only live reading of the screenplay, with Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Amber Tamblyn, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern in the leads, which seems to have reinvigorated his passion for the project. At the staged reading, which he directed himself, Quentin told the audience that they were going to see a 'work in progress of the second draft', and that he is currently planning to write a new third draft. This will include an all-new take...

In January, Quentin Tarantino unleashed a tirade on the movie industry over someone from his inner circle leaking the script for his planned Western The Hateful Eight. Now he has decided to resume work on the script, though its fate still remains undetermined. On Saturday, he hosted a stage reading of the first draft of the script in Los Angeles at a Film Independent–sponsored event.

The cast was filled with numerous actors who have worked with Tarantino in the past: Samuel L. Jackson,...

Quentin Tarantino was in the middle of working on The Hateful Eight script when it leaked, and decided to scrap the project even though he wanted it to be his next film. Tarantino explained that he was frustrated with the leak to the point where he decided to put The Hateful Eight aside and work on something else. But it looks like he can't let the project go since this past weekend he hosted a live-reading of the script with Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern, and more reading the various parts. At the live-reading, Tarantino told the audience that they would be hearing an in-progress second draft of the script, and he planned to write a third draft. He also noted that the final chapter—"Black Night, White Hell" would be changed, "So the only time it will be seen is here, tonight," he told the audience according The Playlist.

Quentin Tarantino held a staged reading for his leaked The Hateful Eight script on Saturday, where the director revealed he is working on a second draft of the script with a completely different ending. Tarantino told the crowd the script is divided into five different chapters, and the fifth chapter (titled "Black Night, White Hell") will be rewritten or removed. The reading for Quentin Tarantino's three-hour-plus screenplay was performed by Samuel L. Jackson,...

After the script for his The Hateful Eight leaked earlier this year, a "very, very depressed" Quentin Tarantino said he would not be moving forward with the project. He may have changed his mind: On Saturday night, Tarantino presented a three and a half–hour staged reading of the film at L.A.'s Ace Hotel. "We’ve been rehearsing this for the last three days and we’re not bad," he told the crowd, which included Harvey and Bob Weinstein. Tarantino project alums Samuel L Jackson, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, James Parks, Amber Tamblyn, Michael Madsen, Denis Ménochet, James Remar, Walton Goggins, and Bruce Dern were on hand to read the roles of the post–Civil War western, which is broken up into five chapters.Variety reports that the standing-room–only audience enjoyed a "violent, bloody tale, laced with profanity and even vomit." Though chapter five (titled "Black Night,...

While Quentin Tarantino is suing Gawker Media over their decision to link to the leaked script for what would have been his new movie, The Hateful Eight, the writer/director held a live-reading of the first draft last night at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles with a star-studded cast. If you've managed to get your hands on the script, perhaps some of these character names will be familiar to you, but the actors most certainly will be as Samuel L. Jackson read the part of Major Marquis Warren, James Parks as the driver O.B., Kurt Russell as bounty hunter John Ruth, aka 'The Hangman', Amber Tamblyn as his prisoner Daisy Domergue, Walton Goggins as Chris Mannix, Denis Menochet as the Frenchman Bob, Tim Roth as the Englishman Oswaldo Mobray, Michael Madsen as John Gage, Bruce Dern as Confederate General Smithers, Dana Gourrier as Minnie, Zoe Bell as...

Although writer/director Quentin Tarantino has halted further development of his Old West screenplay "The Hateful Eight", designed to be a 70-millimeter Western epic, certain story details from the script have now leaked online:

"...the script is an ensemble Western, with the story broken into the chapters 'Last Stage to Red Rock', 'Son of A Gun', 'Minnie’s', 'The Four Pasengers' and 'Black Night, White Hell'. There are parts for Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz. Jackson and Madsen would play bounty hunters returning 'human plunder' to a town called 'Red Rock' in exchange for hefty rewards.

"Their characters, a former major in the Union army and a man named 'John Ruth', dominate the first two of the script’s five chapters. They run into a Southerner named 'Chris Mannix' on the road, and three of them, along with their driver...

The big news recently was Quentin Tarantino's decision to not make his planned ensemble Western, The Hateful Eight, after the script leaked. While some pranksters attempted to pass off Seth MacFarlane's script for A Million Ways to Die in the West as the leaked script yesterday, it seems the actual screenplay has found its way into the hands of a few outlets along with news Tarantino planned on making the film in the 70mm format Paul Thomas Anderson recently utilized for The Master. As for the film's plot, The Wrap offers the following summary: The script is an ensemble Western with obvious parts for Madsen and Dern, as well as Tarantino stalwarts like Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz. Jackson and Madsen would likely both play bounty hunters returning human plunder to a town called Red Rock in exchange for hefty rewards. Their characters, a former major in...

White Winter Black Night is the title of one of the novels I’m writing. Simon & Schuster will publish the book in 2014.

Published by Simon & Schuster… how damn cool is that? Simon & Schuster is one of the most respected and largest publishers in the world. To get a book published by Simon & Schuster is a big deal for a writer, any writer.

I’m a writer.

Well, now I’m a writer.

Growing up there was nothing and I mean nothing I loved more than reading. I read everything and when I say everything I mean everything. It started with comics and once I realized how wonderful reading was it started me on an odyssey that still exists today. At present I’m listening to two audio books in two different cars. I’m reading two hard cover books and have no idea how many books I’m reading on my iPad.

With a name like Gringo Star, it’s hard not to laugh. But that’s exactly what happened when their debut full-length All Y’All sprang up a few years back from the sunbaked lawns and beer-drenched nights of Atlanta. To be precise, and I hate using that phrase so make the most of it, it was 2008 when that album first appeared and, to be precise, it was 2008 when the name didn’t seem so funny anymore. The leering smiles were at first replaced by contentious grins, which then grew into bonafide beams of joy once the minutes passed by on All Y’All – the energy and positivity of the band’s sound travelling through the soundwaves and seeping into the skin: turning the crooked mouths into smiles as bright and as feel-good...

Our round-up of John Barry’s non-Bond movie scores continues with a look at some romantic compositions from the disco decade…

As we embark on the fourth part of our appreciation of John Barry’s career beyond Bond, we move into a decade renowned for its glitter balls, bell-bottoms and jiggle television. However, this phase of Barry’s career is representative of a burgeoning interest in more emotionally charged, fractured and complex ideas, viewed through the filter of a maturing, mellowing artist.

Even the most vibrant, exotic scores could not disguise the introspection and sensitivity of the man himself. He continued to chase universal themes – and he was still capable of conjuring up worlds of intrigue and drama – but the projects he gravitated towards more in the wake of Midnight Cowboy were those that allowed him to explore more intimate musical textures.

Barry still accepted a range of eclectic assignments,...

Quartet Records has released a soundtrack album for the French/Spanish co-production Le moine (The Monk). The album includes the film’s original score composed by Alberto Iglesias who is having a busy year with two potential Award contenders, including the John Le Carre adaptation Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and Pedro Almadovar’s The Skin I Live In coming out later this year. The music for Le Moine is performed by The London Session Orchestra and the Metro Voices. The soundtrack is now available to order from Europe on Quartet Records’ website, where you can also listen to audio clips. The album is also available in the Us from Screen Archives. Le moine directed by Dominik Moll is an adaptation of the classic 1796 Gothic novel by Mathew Gregory Lewis and centers around Capucin Ambrosio, a pious, well-respected monk in Spain and his violent downfall. The movie stars stars Vincent Cassel and Geraldine Chaplin.

Trailer for Olivier Smolders Nuit Noire: Oscar, a conservator at the Natural Sciences Museum, passes the days exercising his passion for studying insects; if only there still were days. As long as people can remember, the sun only releases a few pathetic rays for fifteen seconds before noon. The rest of the time, the world is plunged into a night without end, a permanent eclipse. Coming home after work, Oscar finds an African woman in his bed. Suffering from a mysterious and incurable disease, she seems to have come to his place to die. Trapped between desire and repulsion, Oscar gradually abandons his life to terrifying phantoms.

The long awaited feature length debut film of talented short filmmaker Olivier Smolders (see also Spiritual Exercises DVD), Nuit Noire (Black Night) is mysterious, ghostly, technically impeccable, and continuously bathed in a magical, surreal light.

Using vibrant colors against a backdrop of black and white, Ayman Mokhtar's film experiments with "the rhythmic potential in film as a time-dependent medium [which] needs to be explored and unleashed." Beautifully shot and based around a Doctor's inability to touch human skin, Anaphylaxis reminds me of Olivier Smolders' Nuit Noire.

A successful doctor, content with life, develops a strange illness – anaphylaxis, a severe allergy to human skin. He tries to defy his illness, but his life is tuned upside down by his inability to touch people. He can’t function professionally, socially or intimately with his fiancée, whom he eventually loses.

Then he discovers that dead bodies don’t trigger his illness. He withdraws from life around him to work as a pathologist, dealing only with dead bodies. Life is calm until he encounters a woman’s dead body covered from neck to toe with writing. Intrigued, he starts to read.

These remind of the Lynchian and incredibly stunning Nuit Noire, but unfortunately, their only publicity stills. We can hope this entire UK indie which is directed by Ian Fielding and currently in post is shot the same way but I highly doubt it.
