Exclusive: Pierce Brosnan (Fast Charlie), Samuel L. Jackson (Argylle), and Brandon Lessard (Murder at Yellowstone City) are in Montana shooting Unholy Trinity, a Western helmed by Richard Gray (Robert the Bruce), which has secured a SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement.

Described as a tale of revenge, dark secrets, and buried treasures, the film is set against the turbulent backdrop of 1870s Montana. It picks up in the moments before the execution of Isaac Broadway, as he gives his estranged son, Henry (Lessard), an impossible task: murder the man who framed him for a crime he didn’t commit. Intent on fulfilling his promise, Henry travels to the remote town of Trinity, where an unexpected turn of events traps him in town and leaves him caught between Gabriel Dove (Brosnan), the town’s upstanding new sheriff, and a mysterious figure named St. Christopher (Jackson).

In late-1964-early-1965, Lou Reed wrote to the poet Delmore Schwartz, his creative-writing professor at Syracuse University, and described his life in New York City since graduating the previous spring. Reed noted his unsubmitted Harvard application and ambivalence about grad school; he obliquely referenced the “sick but strange and fascinating” experiences he’d been having, mentioning “rich johns on park ave” willing to pay up to 700 to watch displays involving “the more esoteric sexual art forms.” He described his job at Pickwick Records, a discount label/song mill, churning out...

To hear the first few seconds of the video above may catch you by surprise: It’s Lou Reed announcing the title of a song while declaring he wrote the words and music. Only it’s a song we know very well — “I’m Waiting for the Man” — and it’s from 1965.

The earliest known recording of the New York classic pre-dates the Velvet Underground, with whom Reed would release it two years later on The Velvet Underground & Nico. The demo is off Words & Music, May 1965, the first installment...

The 23-song set mixes features Buffalo Springfield classics (“I Am a Child,” “Expecting to Fly”) and Csny tunes (“Ohio,...

Neil Young’s January 22nd, 1971 concert at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, has been released as a live album and concert film. It’s a solo acoustic gig from the After the Gold Rush period, just three days after his famous show at Toronto’s Massey Hall.

Prince, Sign O’ the Times: Deluxe Edition (Warner)

On this 1987 masterpiece, Prince’s second double LP in less than five years, the R&b futurist responded to the serial crises in his personal life — the end of an affair; the firing of his band, the Revolution; escalating wartime with his label — in a kinetic tour de force of tightly wired pop, exploding bedroom funk, and soaring, redemptive climax. The big-box version of this reissue reveals the depth of Prince’s urgency in three CDs of unreleased studio treasures: diamonds...

Neil Young joined forces with Danny DeVito, Herb Alpert, George Lopez, Debbie Allen, Ricki Lake, Daryl Hannah, and Kenny Ortega on Tuesday for a virtual fundraiser to benefit the Painted Turtle, a summer camp for children with serious medical needs.

The entire event is worth watching, but you can fast forward to 36:38 to see Danny DeVito introduce Neil Young’s two-song set. “He is an artist that has been inspiring people for decades with his incredible music and lyrics,” DeVito said. “Everyone, welcome to the campfire, Neil Young.” (Click...

On August 26th, 1973, Joni Mitchell arrived at Studio Instrument Rentals in Los Angeles, where Neil Young and his band the Santa Monica Flyers were recording the boozy Tonight’s the Night. Joined by guitarists Ben Keith and Nils Lofgren, drummer Ralph Molina, and bassist Billy Talbot, Mitchell and Young tore through “Raised on Robbery,” soon to be released on her album Court and Spark.

If the Tonight’s the Night sessions were indeed a “drunken Irish wake,” as Talbot later recalled, this take on “Raised on Robbery” was the eulogy.

Five years ago, Barry Bowman’s daughter brought him a box of his belongings that his ex-wife thought he might want to keep. The retired DJ went fishing through it, shuffling through old airchecks on cassettes and reel-to-reel tapes. “I jokingly said, ‘I wonder if that old Joni Mitchell tape is in there — wouldn’t that be something?’” Bowman tells Rolling Stone from his home in Victoria, British Columbia. “I swear I spotted it right then. There was no doubt. When I saw that old, weathered label on there, everything...

Joni Mitchell has dug deep into the vaults for a massive archive series. She’ll kick it off with Joni Mitchell Archives Vol. 1: The Early Years (1963-1967), out October 30th.

The five-disc Early Years box set contains six hours of unreleased home, live and radio recordings and features 29 unreleased songs. They span from 1963-1967, just before the singer-songwriter released her 1968 debut Song to a Seagull produced by David Crosby.

To accompany the announcement, Mitchell released a 1963 performance of “House of the Rising Sun,” her earliest-known recording as a 19-year-old...

On September 3rd, 1970, Joni Mitchell stopped by the BBC’s Television Centre in London to perform for the premiere of their In Concert series. She would play songs from previous albums, including “Cactus Tree” from her 1968 David Crosby–produced debut and “Chelsea Morning” from Clouds, but the majority of her 11-song set came from her then-new album, Ladies of the Canyon, released 50 years ago this month.

With tracks like “Big Yellow Taxi” and “The Circle Game” — the latter her response to Neil Young’s “Sugar Mountain” — Ladies of the Canyon...

Neil Young’s plans to tour North American arenas with Crazy Horse may be on hold for that moment, but he isn’t letting that stop him from playing music for his fans.

Young just posted an incredible six-song acoustic set on the Neil Young Archives. The Fireside Session show was directed by his wife, actress Daryl Hannah, at the home they share in Telluride, Colorado. Click here to check it out.

“I hope you’re doing well,” he said after opening the show with an outdoor performance of “Sugar Mountain” near a fire.

Neil Young’s 1970 masterpiece After the Gold Rush turns 50 in September and, according to a new post on the Neil Young Archives, Reprise Records is planning a deluxe rerelease to celebrate. It’ll be the first album in Young’s catalog to receive such a treatment.

The album might be paired with a concert filmed at the Shakespeare Theater in Stratford, Connecticut, on January 22nd, 1971, just three days after his famous performance at Massey Hall in Toronto. “While Massey Hall was a homecoming for me and meant so much a the time,...

Painter, poet and musician Joni Mitchell turns 75 years old today. Her artistry has encompassed pop, rock, folk and jazz, earning varying degrees of praise and criticism, especially for her more experimental, jazz-centric works, but she remains, unquestionably, one of the most influential songwriters of the past 50 years.

Born Roberta Joan Anderson in Fort MacLeod, Alberta, Canada, and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, she began performing in public, accompanying herself on ukulele, in 1963. In August of that year, she appeared on Ckbi-tv in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, as a one-time replacement for a...

Live performances by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, recorded at a student ministry on the University of Michigan campus in 1968, were among the professional-quality recordings unearthed by the Michigan History Project.

Seven-inch reel-to-reel audio tapes featuring concerts by Tim Buckley, Odetta, David Ackles and Dave Van Ronk were also among the recordings made at the Canterbury House, an Ann Arbor, Michigan venue that hosted counterculture events in the mid to late-Sixties.

The Michigan History Project recently acquired the recordings, with the non-profit organization now seeking a record label interested in releasing the concerts.

The Stranger Things franchise just got a little more awesome today. Netflix has announced that actors Cary Elwes (The Princess Bride) and Jake Busey (The Frighteners) have joined that cast of the upcoming third season!

Cary Elwes will be playing a character named Mayor Kline, who is described as being "handsome, slick, and sleazy. Mayor Kline is your classic ’80s politician – more concerned with his own image than with the people of the small town he governs."

Jake Busey will be taking on the role of Bruce, "a journalist for the The Hawkins Post with questionable morals and a sick sense of humor."

This is great casting for Stranger Things, and it'll be fun to see how these character end up fitting into this continuing supernatural sci-fi story. No major story details have been revealed for Stranger Things Season 3, but I have no doubt that the creative team will end...

Sugar Mountain‘s core premise is decent enough. Faced with repossession of their dead mother’s fishing boat (due to a Harvard concert pianist losing a couple of fingers after slipping on the deck), brothers Liam and Miles (Shane Coffey and Drew Roy), together with Miles’ girlfriend Lauren (Haley Webb) cook up a missing person hoax.

Here’s the plan: cocky and confident Miles will get into a staged bar fight with the quieter Liam over Lauren. The next day the brothers will go for a hike on the titular Sugar Mountain to try and clear the air, but get into a ‘fight’ midway up. Miles storms off into the wilderness and when he doesn’t return, Liam to raises the alarm in town. With Aron Ralston (of 127 Hours fame) firmly on their minds, they foresee a media storm that they’ll milk to the fullest when Miles ‘miraculously’ returns a fortnight later,...

Jason Momoa has been a busy guy of late. Since moving from small cable TV (Stargate: Atlantis) to Big cale TV (Game Of Thrones) it seems that both the industry at large and Momoa himself have been scrambling to figure out what, exactly, to do with the talented brute. His mass appeal is obvious and being carried out with blockbuster roles such as the upcoming Aquaman but Momoa clearly has the urge to prove himself in smaller indie far as well whether in recent writer-director effort Road To Paloma, Ana Lily Amirpour's The Bad Batch or upcoming effort Sugar Mountain. Momoa plays the heavy here as a violent man owed ten thousand dollars by a local youth. The youth - having no way of coming...

"I went missing up on that mountain right there? Well, we'd have a hell of a story." The first trailer for a survival thriller titled Sugar Mountain has arrived online. The film is about two brothers who decide to fake a disappearance in the Alaskan wilderness so they'll have a great survival story to sell. However, things don't go exactly as planned and they end up in even more trouble than before. Jason Momoa stars with Cary Elwes, Melora Walters, Anna Hutchison, John Karna, Drew Roy, Haley Webb and Shane Coffey. This looks like a bit of a mess, with lots of drama among characters and not enough actual survival, though it's hard to judge from this trailer alone. I'm curious but honestly not expecting that much from this. Here's the first official trailer for Richard Gray's Sugar Mountain, direct from YouTube: Two brothers, down on their luck, fake...

We already know that Jason Momoa is pretty tough. We also know that he’ll make for a very different Aquaman when he comes to the big screen in Zack Snyder’s Justice League film. Before that, however, Momoa will flex his very impressive muscles in Sugar Mountain, and based on the recently released trailer, this seems like a story of why you shouldn’t piss the actor off.

Sugar Mountain is the story of two brothers in debt to a local heavy (Momoa) who decide to fake a disappearance in the wilderness, thus getting themselves a great survival story and a chance at fame. Things go wrong, though – as you knew they would – when the plan actually winds up endangering them, and the local sheriff (Cary Elwes) suspects foul play.

The trailer for Sugar Mountain does not give us much to go on by way of plot – actually, I...

If horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that you probably shouldn’t follow a dude you meet at a strip club to a second location. That important rule appears to have been lost on the characters of “SiREN,” a feature-length adaptation of the “Amateur Night” segment from 2012’s “V/H/S.” Watch its trailer below.

The trailer begins with four bros loaded into an SUV for a “Hangover”–style bachelor party, which is sure to cause many to cheer on their imminent demise. They eventually make their way to the remote brothel of the title, a luxe mansion with enough weirdness to instantly identify itself as a bad place; once there, they learn that a woman who works there is more than she appears to be.

Jason Momoa is set to make his big debut as Aquaman in Zack Snyder’s “Justice League” next year, but before we see the actor as the DC Comics superhero fans can see him as a ruthless thug in “Sugar Mountain.”

The thriller centers around two brothers, deep in debt with Momoa, who fake a disappearance in the wilderness so they’ll have a great survival story to sell. Their hoax quickly turns sour when their plan puts their lives at risk.

The film is directed by Richard Gray and also stars Drew Roy, Haley Webb, Shane Coffey, and Cary Elwes as the local sheriff who begins to suspect fowl play.

Gray’s previous credits include “Summer Coda,” “Blinder,” and “The Lookalike” starring Gillian Jacobs and Justin Long.

Ever since his brief run on “Game Of Thrones” ended, Jason Momoa has tried his hand a few different things, ranging from failed tentpoles (“Conan The Barbarian“) to short lived TV shows (“The Red Road“) to grimy genre efforts (“Bullet To The Head“) to weirdo arthouse flicks (“The Bad Batch“). His next big stints will be as Aquaman in “Justice League” next year and in his own standalone effort in 2018, but until then, Momoa is crossing “indie thriller” off this list.

Beloved horror cult gem Audition will be getting an English-language remake. Takashi Miike’s 1999 film–which doubled as a public service announcement about the potential dangers of piano wire–was based on a 1997 novel by Japanese author Ryu Murakami.

The new film will transplant the story to an American setting. It’s being produced by Mario Kassar, the iconic ’80s-era producer of films like Terminator and Rambo. It will be written and directed by Richard Gray, the Australian director who’s currently wrapping up Jason Momoa’s Sugar Mountain. Update: A rep for Gray confirmed his participating to EW, and...

The cult horror classic Audition, Takashi Miike’s breakout film from 1999, is getting the Hollywood treatment with an English language remake planned to shoot this fall.

Deadline reported Friday that the remake will be produced by Mario Kassar (Terminator, Rambo) and directed by Richard Gray (the upcoming The Lookalike and Sugar Mountain).

Miike’s film, based on a novel by Ryu Murakami, is about a man who puts out a casting call for a new girlfriend and finds the woman he selects is not all she appears. This adaptation falls into that nebulous territory of not strictly being a remake of the Japanese film but a new adaptation of Murakami’s story with an American setting.

And this of course is hardly the first cult horror film to fall under Hollywood’s purview. Last year the Spike Lee directed Oldboy, a remake of a South Korean film with just as many cringe-worthy moments,...

"Terminator 2" and "Basic Instinct" producer Mario Kassar is planning a remake of Takashi Miike's 2000 cult classic "Audition".

The story of the new version is said to be similar to both the film and Ryu Murakami's 1997 novel. In this take, a lonely widower is convinced by his filmmaker friend to hold a casting call for a fake movie in order to find a girlfriend.

He finds one girl he likes, a ballerina named Evie Lawrence, but soon his life turns into a nightmare.
