Other than that, good news: THE GALLERIES ARE BACK UP! Check out the new pictures here

New videos will becoming up soon, with Gull Man and Jasper Conroy, plus footage from the set of An Old Hope trip that I took last month.

I’m incredibly busy with this festival, as you can see, but hopefully it’ll all pay off! We’ve got a lot of entries and we’re making a big name not just for the club, but for film making in general through this amazing festival!

Everyone’s seen the trailers where, previous to the video footage, you get the green template wtih white lettering saying “This has been approved for all audiences” blah blah blah.

Well apparently another big fad of the internet is the release of the Red Band trailers- trailers that, themselves, are rated R or NC-17, just because of how much violence or debauchery they can pack into 2 minutes.

WARNING: THESE VIDS CONTAIN EXTREME VIOLENCE

Today I’ve got quite a special for everyone reading the site: embedded vids of the red-bands of two of the hottest up coming action flicks: Aliens Vs. Predator: Requiem (renamed from Survival of the fittest, thank GOD!) and SHOOT ‘EM UP

This is looking to be the most violent movie I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t want it any other way. When it comes to an Alien film, yes- I want deep stories and tight scares. When it comes to a predator film, I really could care less- I just want completely competent and off the wall gorey action. Mix both together, and all I want is a clusterf#^K of gore, scares, and action. Because when you’ve got two movie titans on the screen like that, there is NO ROOM for story!

Speaking of movie titans, here’s the red band for my personal favorite action flick I haven’t seen this year: Shoot ‘Em Up!

So there you have it folks! The last third of the year will be full of the REAL action! Not this fake Pirate/Spiderguy/whateverthreequel BULL!

So what do you guys think? Gonna see these flicks? Feel free to comment!

We just wrapped filming a new movie here at STRIKE A POSE!!! Films- the psychological thriller “Clarity” starring Sam Anderson and Damien McCoy.

Here’s the synopsis and some set pics:

“A teenage boy hires a detective to find his missing girlfriend, however there are no records of her existence, no police files, not even anything in sealed government files. He gives the boy 24 hours to prove the girl exists and that if he does, he’ll agree to work as long as it takes to find her. Along the way he encounters his own past and discovers he may be on the tail of the same killer who took his lover three years ago.”

This film should be finished editing by the end of August 2007

Danny Boyle of 28 Days Later and Trainspotting fame, has been working on a little treat for all of us out in “quality film making” land. You know, the place we were before all these devastatingly terrible “threequels” bombarded out silver screens?

Well I’ve got a treat here for anyone who hasn’t seen the previews yet: two trailers for the film SUNSHINE a movie that is sort of about re-igniting the sun. Most people I’ve talked to about it have said “what? That’s the dumbest most preposterous idea ever” and granted there was a Courage the Cowardly Dog episode dedicated to such a task, only putting more emphasis onto how cartoony such a goal would be.

But good news! After some careful research through IMDB (it’s right in the freaking trivia section, folks), I’ve come up with something to quell yea nay-sayers (aka SCIENCE GEEKS):

The plot does not revolve around the sun dying in the normal sense: this is not due for around five billion years based on our understanding of nuclear fusion. It has instead been “infected” with a “Q-ball” - a supersymmetric nucleus, left over from the big bang - that is disrupting the normal matter. This is a theoretical particle that scientists at CERN are currently trying to confirm, and was one of the many contributions of the science advisor. The film’s bomb is meant to blast the Q-ball to its constituent parts which will then naturally decay, allowing the sun to return to normal.

This is the first trailer released, more of a plot/special effects teaser.

This second one details the action, drama, and suspense, with a creepy narration at the end that just DEMANDS you see this movie!

Finally a link to the review from Arrow in the Head

The release date for this film is July 20th, 2007
