Bone Tomahawk To Première At Fantastic Fest

And so it begins…

The genre-crossing film festival Fantastic Fest has announced that Bone Tomahawk will receive its world première at the event later this year.

S. Craig Zahler’s horror western will be the closing night film, presumably meaning it will be screened on the 1st of October 2015, the last date given.

Fantastic Fest takes place at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas and kicks-off on the 24th September.

Bone Tomahawk stars Kurt Russell (Overboard) as a Sheriff who sets out with three other men to rescue a group of captured townsfolk from ‘cannibalistic cave dwellers’.

Kurt and his co-star Matthew Fox (Lost) are both understood to be attending the première screening. We can only hope that Kathryn, who plays the Sheriff’s wife in the film, stands by her man (Kurt or Johnny, we don’t mind as long as she’s there) at the event.

See the recent post here on KM UK for a few photos of Kathryn in costume.

In a not so genre-busting move all the details about Fantastic Fest can be found on the official website HERE.

The Coin Gets Noms At The Tavern

The ‘tavern’ being the Brightside Tavern, host to The Brightside Tavern Film Festival.

The ‘noms’ are the four nominations that the short film The Coin has received at the BTFF event due to take place in mid-August in Jersey City. The categories are:

Best Short Film – Drama
Best Director – Drama
Best Cinematography
Best Concept

As well as the great news the film is up for more awards we now have more details on the screening itself, after first bringing you news of the event a couple of weeks ago.

Writer/producer/director Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute long movie starring Christopher Lloyd (Back To The Future) and Kathryn will be shown on the 16th of August, a Sunday, as part of a group of films starting at 5:05pm. The screening is described as ‘Downstairs 4’, presumably because it is the fourth taking place in a basement area.

More details and a link to the ticket sales are on the BTFF website.

HollyShorts Batman!

Kapow!

Just when you thought… (this is sounding familiar)… it was safe… (oh no, it’s totally different)… to assume that The Coin has got no more film festivals to visit, up pops another one.

With a poster reminiscent of the one for a certain drama film that aired in the UK recently… hint, hint… the HollyShorts Film Festival is having it’s 11th running, across 10 days, in 9 (+13) days time. Don’t you just ‘ate it when that happens?

Given its name it will come as no surprise that the event takes place in Hollywood, the ‘TCL Chinese Theatres 6’ to be precise.

As seems to be the norm when we first report these things, no schedule has been released as of yet so we’ll return to this event when we can bring you more detail. Tickets are becoming available on the official HollyShorts Film Festival website covering individual days and all-access passes.

Also as per usual we have to thank The Coin‘s writer/director/producer Fabien Martorell for letting us know about another screening of his film. Fingers crossed for a prize or two.

CBS Press Tour Stars Party 2008

It’s SHOWTIME!

Well, actually it’s CBS but it says Showtime on the backdrop too!

To help us get over what I gather the yoof of today are calling ‘hump day’. Apparently it is to do with it being the middle, or hump, of the week and not a crude reference to an act surely more suited to a carefree the weekend.

The memories of last weekend are fading and the next still seems so far away. What could be better to help with those mid-week blues than some new and improved photos of our favourite lady.

Back in 2008 the TV networks CBS, CW and Showtime threw a little soirée for the press to help promote their upcoming autumn season of shows with the aid of the stars of said shows. But what to call such a magic night of mingling of Hollywood’s best and assorted members of the journalistic fraternity? So many possibilities but can any of them capture the true spirit of the event? Maybe. However they went with ‘CBS, CW and Showtime Press Tour Party’. Truly awe inspiring 😉

What is awe-plenty (‘some’ just doesn’t cover it) is that Kathryn attended this 18th of July 2008 happening. She looked gorgeous, and bestowed upon us some amazing, hi-res photos.

Now we’ve added to the collection and super-sized a existing one. Find them all in the Gallery. Enjoy.

The Coin Looks On The Brightside

To paraphrase: Just when you thought you’d got out, they pull you back in!

Short film The Coin continues in it slow march to world domination of film festivals. The next target is a Jersey City at The Brightside Tavern Film Festival.

For those of a geographical bent: if the Statue Of Liberty was to look back over her left shoulder she’d be glancing in the general direction of The Brightside Tavern.

The event takes place over the weekend of the 15th and 16th of August so just five weeks to go from today (11th July).

The organisers have plenty of awards to be given for the many films to be screened so fingers crossed for Fabien Martorell’s 9 minute piece. Thanks to him for letting us know, as usual.

If you can attend the BTFF the please let us know about your experience.

The BTFF website has/will have more details.
