Just two days before Sundance Film Festival will unveil its lineup, the other major January Utah festival has released theirs. Now in its 29th iteration, next year’s Slamdance Film Festival––which will also be providing programming both in-person and online, from January 20th through 29th––has unveiled its features slate. The lineup for the festival, which opens with Moby’s Punk Rock Vegan Movie, was culled from 7,600 total submissions, 1,522 of which were features.

It’s finally time for the 62nd annual Grammy Awards, but what a time it’s been over the past few weeks, with the drama ramping up even more just before the show.
Music’s biggest night has turned into an embarrassment for the organization running it. This week saw more accusations from suspended CEO Deborah Dugan and an appearance on Good Morning America to air them; the barring of longtime Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer from performing on the show; the arrest of performer Yg, the rapper scheduled to appear in a tribute to Nipsey Hussle; and the quiet dropout of Taylor Swift, who was scheduled to be a surprise performer but now reportedly shunning the show because of its sexism.
Here’s the thing – the worst is yet to come as the Dugan legal battle plays out. It raises the question: who would be crazy enough to take the...

Outside the big movies that everyone talks about and promotes, I try to go into as many horror movies as possible with knowing very little about them. So a quick look on IMDb before I viewed Boo! told me that it wasn’t in fact a comedy that I believed it was based on the title and poster I had seen.
It is about as far away from comedy as a horror could be to be honest, with a tone that felt a lot more like recent box office and critic hit, Hereditary. This story also centres on a dysfunctional family that includes mother, father, daughter and son and while I write this I see that it has a few more similarities with Hereditary! In Boo! this...

Director discusses cinema/VoD debate at Karlovy Vary film festival.
David Lowery, the director of Sundance hit A Ghost Story, talked about the impact of Netflix on the film industry at a press conference promoting the film at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.
Lowery said: “I am a devotee of the big screen. I like to watch everything on the big screen and I made my movie to be watched on the big screen. That being said, I want my movies to get made.
“[Netflix] are setting aside the theatrical experience more than I’d be comfortable with, but I’d rather them do that and not make the movies. I fully support and endorse them and I’d be delighted to collaborate with them.

Is there love after death? Rooney Mara gives up the ghost to Casey Affleck in the trailer for A Ghost Story.
We do what we do to endure. We build our legacy piece by piece and maybe a few people remember you after you’re gone. The new trailer for A Ghost Story shows that sometimes you have to give up the ghost to leave a spiritual trail. Even if your story is written in chalk on a city sidewalk.
A Ghost Story stars Casey Affleck as a man watching over the legacy of his lover Rooney Mara. The romantic take on love after death is reminiscent of the Academy Award-winning supernatural romance Ghost, which starred Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze.
"It's all about time," promises the official synopsis. Will Oldham, Sonia Acevedo, Rob Zabrecky, and Liz Franke star in this story of a 'ghost and the house he haunts'.

Decay focuses on a middle-aged grounds keeper at a local theme park (played by Rob Zabrecky) that suffers from a debilitating case of Ocd. One day, his daily routine is disrupted by a surprise visitor in his basement: a beautiful young woman who, through a jarring turn of events, ends up dead. Jonathan panics and chooses not to report the dead girl. Instead, he invites her to dinner. Jonathan is happy to have a friend, until the police start closing in, and his mind, and the body of the girl, begins to decay.
Opening with a quote taken from a thousand internet memes is an odd way to start a horror movie. But then Decay is odd all over – odd characters, odd situations and an oddly beautiful appearance. And oddly,...

Decay is an upcoming horror film from director Joseph Wartnerchaney. The film was recently completed and it is set to show at the Denver Film Festival, in just a couple days. Here, it will likely have its World Premiere. In the film, an isolated groundskeeper has a mishap with a local girl.

A teaser trailer was released for this film, recently; it can be found below, along with a longer, official trailer. Jonathan (Rob Zabrecky) is the focal point of the film.

Now, Jonathan has a larger specimen for his collection. The film is supposedly based on a "true story." However,...

Despite the lottery-esque sounding odds, the U.S Dramatic Competition section which produces the finest American indie specimens such as Frozen River, Winter’s Bone, Blue Valentine, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Fruitvale Station and Whiplash is fairly consistent in terms of quality. Last year’s crop of sixteen have almost all had their theatrical releases with Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter being the last one out of the gates (pegged with an early 2015 release). Last week we individually looked at our top 80 Sundance Film Fest Predictions (you’ll find 30 other titles worth considering in our intro) and below, we’ve split the list into narrative and non-fiction film items and have both identified and color-coded our picks in an AtoZ cheat sheet.

Ryan Gosling moved into the director’s chair in 2013. Though it was cheered at its reception, Lost River (formerly titled “How to Catch a Monster”) it was jeered by a good majority critics after its premiere screening in the Un Certain Regard section at that Cannes Film Festival this past May. Since then, not a word. Not a sound. No North American premiere, just a release date planned for next February in France. If Warner Bros. still had an indie label, the distinctly art-house film wouldn’t be shrouded in release date mystery. My thinking is: the studio simply don’t know what to do with it. In comes Sundance. A second home to the actor for two segments in his career: the formative years (The United States of Leland, The Believer, The Slaughter Rule) and the break out years (Half Nelson and Blue Valentine). Could Sundance programmers reel in this distinctive,...

Eva Mendes and Rob Zabrecky are set to appear in Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, "How to Catch a Monster," according to a recent report.
The site Bloody Disgusting reports the actress, who has dated Gosling since 2011, is signed on to play the part of Cat. The character works at the "Big Bad Wolf Club" in the movie, ostensibly a fetish club. Zabrecky is to play a cab driver.
Gosling's co-star from "Drive," Christina Hendricks, will star as Billy, a single mom of two kids who also works at the fetish club.
Gosling also wrote "How to Catch a Monster," which has been described as a macabre and dark story blending elements of horror, suspense and fantasy. The film applied for tax credits through the Michigan Film Office to shoot in Detroit this May.

Ryan Gosling might just be a closet Whovian, people, because for his directorial debut "How to Catch a Monster," Gosling's now plucked none other than The Doctor himself, Matt Smith.
Per Variety, "Monster" will mark Smith's stateside acting debut, and he will star as the male lead for the film.
Outside of "Dr. Who," Smith has very few film credits to his name - British titles like "Womb" and "Bert & Dickie," e.g. - so the decision to cast him probably had a little something to do with his popular (and zany) work in TV. Given the surreal subject matter of the movie, Smith's experience muscling through wacky material to make it work will come quite in handy.

The film is set against the surreal dreamscape of a vanishing city where Billy (Hendricks), a single mother of two, is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. She must dive deep into the mystery, if the family is to survive.

Eva Mendes Joins Ryan Gosling's 'How to Catch a Monster' with Christina Hendricks and Ben Mendelsohn
Ryan Gosling's directorial debut, "How to Catch a Monster," has added Eva Mendes and Rob Zabrecky to its cast. They join Ben Mendelsohn ("Animal Kingdom") and the film's star, Christina Hendricks, who appeared with Gosling in "Drive." Mendes also stars with Gosling and Bradley Cooper in Derek Cianfrance's upcoming "The Place Beyond the Pines." "How to Catch a Monster," which Gosling and Hendricks describe as a fantasy noir, centers on a mother who is trying to protect her two sons and ends up working in a fetish club. One of her sons discovers a secret underwater town and descends into the darkness, with her following him. Those are pretty vague plot details and Mendelsohn's role is unclear, but we do know the film stars shooting in May after Hendricks wraps the latest season of "Mad Men." Mendelsohn also worked with Gosling in Derek Cianfrance's "The Place Beyond the Pines" (March.

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling still seem like an odd couple, though maybe that will come into focus when we see the film that introduced the two of them, Derek Cianfrance's spring release The Place Beyond The Pines. But now we have proof that this isn't just some on-set romance that vanishes the movie comes out. Gosling has now cast his girlfriend in the film he's planning as his directorial debut, the surreal and possibly terrifying How To Catch A Monster. Bloody Disgusting got the scoop, reporting that both Mendes and Rob Zabrecky-- who has a lot of small credits to his name but nothing you are likely to recognize-- have joined the cast. Gosling's Drive co-star is still on board to play the lead, a mother who travels with her two sons into a "macabre and dark fantasy underworld" that somehow includes an underwater town.

Forget engagement rings and all that noise (unless there's a "Back to the Future" theme involved, 'cause of course). Ryan Gosling's got his own style of showing commitment: casting his girl in his latest movie.
The Gos has now selected his main squeeze Eva Mendes to star in his first directorial effort "How to Catch a Monster."
As confirmed by Bloody Disgusting, Mendes' beau has brought her on board his spooky mindtrip movie, which he also wrote, as a character called Cat who runs the Big Bad Wolf Club.
The story is set in the nightmarish hellscape that is life for Billy, a single mother in a vanishing city, who gets sucked into a "surreal" underworld while her son "discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town."
We picture the casting couch process went a little something like this: "Hey girl, movies last forever so will you be in mine?...

After pairing up as colleagues in the upcoming "The Place Beyond The Pines," and off screen as the most enviable couple in Hollywood, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are taking their relationship to the next level. And don't worry ladies, we're not talking marriage. Mendes has (inevitably) joined Gosling's directorial debut, "How To Catch A Monster." And if there's any way to surely test any union, it's working together. Good luck, Mendling. Penned by Gosling, the cryptic logline reveals the story to be centering on Billy, a single mother of two, who is swept into a macabre and dark fantasy underworld while her teenage son discovers a secret road leading to an underwater town. Both Billy and Bones must dive deep into the mystery, if their family is to survive. Mendes joins Christina Hendricks, Ben Mendelsohn (another 'Pines' actor) and the also newly cast Rob Zabrecky on the picture, and she'll play Cat,...
