Grimm – My what a bald head you have Mr Willis

Posted by LiveFor on May 20, 2009

This sounds like it could be interesting. Looks as if all the old fairy tales, which we all know were actually rather nasty, are coming true or the creatures from them have always been around.

Shocktillyoudrop
had the poster that mentions Bruce Willis’ involvement. The film is also apparantly being directed by Russell Mulcahy (Razorback, Highlander, Resident Evil: Extinction, Give ‘em Hell Malone). Here is the synopsis for Grimm.

Marburg, Massachusetts, USA – Teenager Katie O’Sullivan goes to a new babysitting job. Instead of a regular family, she encounters ghostly twins Henry and Grace and a terrifying apparition that drags her off towards a sinister tower. She is never seen again.

Soon afterwards, Pat Quinn and his family move to the seemingly idyllic town, where he is the new Police Chief. His second wife Ella has two daughters from her first marriage and Quinn has a daughter, Megan, and son, John, from his. On their very first evening John encounters the strange twins, as well as a huge frog, which he brings back to the house. Quinn makes him take it back to the pond where he found it, but that night a wet, naked young man forces his way into the house and Megan’s bedroom. He vanishes before Quinn sees him, leaving behind a slimy trail. From this moment on, Megan and John notice strange things and people in the town, but when they talk about them, nobody believes them. Only Professor Kurland, who approaches Quinn to show him pictures of Katie and two other teenagers who went missing at the same time, thinks they’re telling the truth. He warns Quinn that bad things happen to youngsters in this town.

One day, Megan and her best friend Ruth go to visit Ruth’s grandmother. A wolf-like creature attacks them, having already savaged the grandmother. Ruth is torn limb from limb and Megan barely escapes with her life. As mysterious and frightening happenings occur one after the other, Quinn starts to believe there may be sinister forces at work in Marburg, but will he discover who or what is behind it all in time to save his family?

All well and good. Could be horrendous but with decent effects it may be a cool, spooky film.

What are your thoughts on it?

Give ‘em Hell Malone – Cannes Trailer

Posted by LiveFor on May 7, 2009

I first mentioned the Russell Mulcahy (Highlander) film, Give ‘em Hell Malone, back in September of last year.

Then there were teaser trailers, photos, and posters.

Now the new trailer for its Cannes debut has been released and it is below for your viewing pleasure.

Starring Thomas Jane, Ving Rhames, Elsa Pataky, Chris Yen, French Stewart, Doug Hutchison, Leland Orser, Eileen Ryan, Gregory Harrison and David Andriole.

I’m digging the look of this film. I love the whole pulp noir style of it all. What are your thoughts on it? Are you a fan of Thomas Jane? Will you be watching the film when it is released?

Russell Mulcahy takes the Bait

Posted by LiveFor on April 30, 2009

Russell Mulcahy has recently made the nice looking Give ‘em Hell Malone starring Thomas Jane. He also made Highlander and The Shadow amongst many other things.

Now, for his next film, Bait, he appears to have taken whole heap of high concepts and thrown into something that can only be described as a great big mess. Oh it will also be in 3-D.

In a sleepy coastal resort community, shoppers at an underground supermarket find themselves terrorized by a crazed bandit when the unimaginable occurs… A monstrous freak tsunami swallows the town. Now trapped inside a flooded supermarket with an armed maniac and rushing water threatening to entomb them all in a watery grave, the imprisoned band of survivors discover they’re not alone. The tsunami has brought some unwanted visitors from the depths. As the waters rise they must overcome not only the threat of drowning, but another threat, just as deadly and far more bloodthirsty… Packs of hungry tiger sharks.

You probably feel much the same way I do after that.

Give ‘em Hell, Malone – Two new posters

Posted by LiveFor on April 30, 2009

The Moving Picture posted these two posters for Russell Mulcahy’s Give ‘em Hell Malone.

Looks like some poster designer has been reading their Sin City books. I personally feel these posters are a bit naff, but I am looking forward to seeing the film.

The film stars Thomas Jane as Malone along with Ving Rhames, Elsa Pataky, Leland Orser, French Stewart and Doug Hutchison

The Devil’s Commandos – Thomas Jane faces down Satan’s Army

Posted by LiveFor on January 2, 2009

I mentioned this in a Random a few days ago but now I’ve got the poster and a bit more info from ShockTillYouDrop.

Screenwriter Todd Farmer (Jason X, My Bloody Valentine 3D, Messengers 2: The Scarecrow) is developing Devil’s Commandos for Thomas Jane (The Mist, Mutant Chronicles, The Punisher, Give ‘em Hell Malone) to star.

Devil’s Commandos is a Tim Bradstreet (artist on The Punisher, Hellblazer) story,” said Farmer “Turns out, not only can Timmy draw, his noodle churns out some rockin’ ideas. Who knew? But I told him if I wrote the thing he wouldn’t get any credit. He’d end up as a footnote somewhere. So I suggested he write it with me. Tom will star and direct in 3-D to follow his Dark Country debut. Plan is to start after Tom wraps Hung.”

Farmer and Jane previously collaborated in 2007 when the former wrote the comic book series Alien Pig Farm 3000. “Devil’s Commandos is about a WWII commando unit sent on a rescue mission. Pretty straight forward. Except for the part where hell opens up and they have to fight Satan’s army.”

Sounds like an excellent concept for a film. Fingers crossed it ends up better than Mutant Chronicles.

Thomas Jane – Photos of Give ‘em Hell Malone

Posted by LiveFor on December 1, 2008

I posted the trailer for Russell Mulcahy‘s Give ‘em Hell Malone a while ago and I personally think it looks ace. Looks like a very hard boiled detective kind of story. Mulcahy previously directed Highlander.
Thomas Jane stars as Malone, a tough as nails private investigator who squares off with gangsters and thugs to protect a valuable secret. “Malone goes through hell to protect the information but he dishes some hell as well.”
Film School Rejects got hold of the photos. As well as Thomas Jane there is also a shot of Elsa Pataky, but still no photos of Ving Rhames. It’s due out in April next year. Will you be going to see this?

UPDATED: Give ‘em Hell Malone – Poster and trailer for Thomas Jane’s latest

Posted by LiveFor on November 13, 2008

I mentioned this a while ago but here is a poster and a teaser trailer for the Thomas Jane, Ving Rhames film. It’s directed by Russell Mulcahy.

“Thomas Jane as the title character and Ving Rhames as his rival, “Boulder.” Malone, tough private eye, takes a job retrieving a case containing a mysterious secret. Bullets, fists, and blood fly as he fights through an army of thugs to protect the secret.”

UPDATE: Here’s the embeded trailer below. It does look pretty cool and proper old school. Let me know what you think of it.
