Semi-New "Last House" Poster

Now that Friday the 13th has slayed the President's Day weekend, we can focus our sites on the next horror remake coming our way. It so happens it's not that far off. Wes Craven himself has gone back to one of his first films and with director Dennis Iliadis remade "The Last House on the Left." The film hits theaters March 13th and stars Tony Goldwyn, Monica Potter, Sara Paxton, Garret Dillahunt, Martha MacIssac and Riki Lindhome. Back in January we were treated to the first trailer and today I remembered about a one-sheet I found a couple weeks back and never got around to posting. So anyways, checkout the simple poster that asks the question, "If bad people hurt someone you love. How far would you go to hurt them back?" below.....

Trailer: The Black Freighter

"Tales of the Black Freighter" is a companion piece that is embedded in the Watchmen comic. Synder decided it would be wise to create a companion DVD that would tell the story within a story in a unquie way. Thus "Tales of the Black Freighter" will release March 24th two weeks after "Watchmen" hits cinemas. The animation looks outstanding throughout, gritty and impactful just like the story itself. Gerard Butler has voiced the cartoon dvd and it looks like it definately measures up to the story told throughout the Watchmen comic. Don't believe me. Check it out for yourself below...


What say you? Will you be buying this companion dvd when it hits stores March 24th? Strikeback...

Rockwell on Trial in "Waters"

Attach Sam Rockwell to anything and I am interested. He is genuinely a outstanding actor who has proven time and time again he demands attention. Rockwell is being reported by THR to have execepted a role in "Betty Anne Waters." The true story follows a single mother who after her brother is sentenced to life in jail, spend a decade obtaining her law degree and defending his innocence.

"Betty Anne Waters" also stars Hillary Swank playing Sam Rockwell's sister who defends him after his trial and Minnie Driver, who has a undisclosed role in the film. "Betty Anne Waters" begins shooting this month and is being directed by Tony Goldwyn and financed by Omega Entertainment. The screenplay was written by Pamela Gray with the final shooting draft completed by Richard LaGravenese. Swank will also serve as executive producer on the film.

The concept of the film is nothing new, but having Rockwell, Swank and Driver on board definately bolsters the anticipation for the law driven film. Law or courts driven films can generally feel like been there done that, but Rockwell instantly makes me interested to see how this film ends up. More news as it unfolds....

What say you? Is Sam Rockwell an actor you seek out in film? Hillary Swank Hot or not? Strikeback...
