On Friday nights, IndieWire After Dark takes a feature-length beat to honor fringe cinema in the streaming age.
First, the spoiler-free pitch for one editor’s midnight movie pick — something weird and wonderful from any age of film that deserves our memorializing.
Then, the spoiler-filled aftermath as experienced by the unwitting editor attacked by this week’s recommendation.
The Pitch: Switzerland-Obsessed Weirdo Commits Murder and Spreads His Wings in a Tragicomic Case of the Butterfly Effect
It’s almost the 1st; do you know where your landlord is?
Since before the days of cavemen, our pack-minded species has been forced to share resources to ensure its survival. The advent of the supermarket means we’re no longer made to squabble over food and water like bipedal extras in “The Lion King.” But around the world people of all cultures and kinds continue to clamor into the makeshift hives we call...

To mark the release of Small Apartments on DVD Monday 29th, we’ve got 5 copies to give away where the first person to be drawn from the digital hat will also win an A2 poster.
Franklin Franklin (Lucas) plays the alphorn and dreams of Switzerland. His crazy brother sends him fingernail clippings in the mail. One of his neighbours is a forgetful pot-head, the other a gruff busy-body who doesn’t miss anything. Across the street live a mother and her fifteen-year-old daughter, whom he likes to watch from his window, but none of these are Franklin’s real problem. The real problem is his landlord; lying dead on the kitchen floor. Switzerland seems further and further away.
Small Apartments was written by Chris Millis and based on his novel. It was produced by Ash R. Shah,
Timothy Wayne Peternel, David Hillary and Bonnie Timmermann. Ben Feingold executive produced, along with
John Glynn,...

Matt Lucas (Alice In Wonderland, Bridesmaids) leads a hilarious allstar cast in the new comedy Small Apartments, available February 19th from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Directed by award-winning film and music video director Jonas Åkerlund (Spun, Lady Gaga’s “Paparazzi”), the film premiered at the 2012 South by Southwest Film Festival. Nick Nunziata of Chud.com hailed the film, saying “They don’t make them like this anymore. Actually they’ve never made them like this before.”
Lucas appears in his first leading role as “Franklin Franklin,” a clumsy recluse who embarks on a hapless cover-up after accidentally killing his landlord. Also starring in the film is Billy Crystal (When Harry Met Sally), Juno Temple (The Dark Knight Rises), James Marsden (X-Men: The Last Stand), Peter Stormare (Fargo), Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction), Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables), Rosie Perez (Pineapple Express), and Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect), with James Caan (The Godfather) and...

Rebel Wilson had a hell of a 2012, popping up in films as varied as Bachelorette and Ice Age: Continental Drift, as well as What To Expect When You're Expecting and Pitch Perfect. She.ll ring in the New Year with the indie flick Small Apartments, which will be hitting theaters in limited release at the beginning of February and then will continue on to Blu-ray and DVD on February 19. Based on a book by director Chris Millis, Small Apartments premiered at the 2012 SXSW film festival. Wilson appears in the film as a renter dating Johnny Knoxville. The couple lives in the same apartment building as protagonist Matt Lucas (whom Wilson also lived with in 2011's Bridesmaids), who stars in the film as a dude dealing with the problem of a dead landlord. Additionally, Billy Crystal, James Marsden, Juno Temple, Dolph Lundgren, and James Caan appear in the flick. Sony Pictures...

Small Apartments, remember that one? Sure you do, we’re talking about Jonas Akerlund‘s latest movie which will finally open this February! But, until that happens, we have a completely new & (let me say) – a completely weird trailer for the whole thing, and I’m sure you’re going to love it! Check out the rest of this report for more details…
In case you’re not so familiar with this project, I will first inform you that this dark comedy premiered at the SXSW festival this March and that Jonas Akerlund directed it from a Chris Millis‘ script which centers on a guy named Franklin Franklin who kills his landlord by mistake.

The skin-crawling world of Small Apartments is presented without irony or judgment – so it’s not surprising that, in such an off-kilter environment, Matt Lucas’ Franklin Franklin (yes, that’s really his name) sounds relatively sane. Even when he’s off-handedly confessing to the murder of his landlord, Lucas’ delivery is so deadpan that no one takes him seriously – after all, why would Franklin kill anyone? Oh, possibly because (like everybody else in his crumbling apartment building) he’s totally deranged? Based on Chris Millis’ novel of the same name, Jonas Åkerlund’s film centers on Franklin’s life in the days following the death of his evil landlord (Peter Stormare). Franklin’s life is normally pretty weird, and having a dead body hanging out in his dingy apartment isn’t helping matters. His neighbors (including Johnny Knoxville, Rebel Wilson, Juno Temple, and James Caan – a supporting cast deserving of much better than this production) aren’t...

Swedish filmmaker Jonas Åkerlund used to be the kind of director whose every move was worth following. He started out building buzz for his career by making controversial music videos, helming the sensational, barely-seen "Smack My Bitch Up" clip for Prodigy and, way more successfully, the "Ray of Light" music video for Madonna (a clip that won a record seven prizes at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards). Even his lesser videos (like his Cardigans' "Favorite Game" clip) were compelling and vital compared to most pedestrian and run-of-the-mill music videos. Åkerlund's videos were often defined by a willingness to delve into the scuzzier aspects of life (like the Prodigy video and Metallica's "Turn the Page") – visually his style was slick but also grimy, lit up by garish neon lights and high contrast colorization.

Here’s the new poster and the long-awaited clip for Jonas Akerlund‘s latest movie, Small Apartments. A capricious comedy tells the story of Franklin Franklin, played by Matt Lucas, who by mistake kills his landlord, played by Peter Stormare.

South by Southwest starts on March 9, and Sundance had better watch its back.
Although Park City's film festival still reigns supreme as America's preeminent independent film event, Austin's SXSW is running a close second. The reason? It's cooler. And we're not talking the temperature.
Unlike Sundance, SXSW is not only a film festival, but it also sidelines as one of the hottest music festivals of the year. And let's face it; Austin's got a lot more going on than Park City. When SXSW isn't in full swing, the city remains a movie lover's haven thanks to the celebrated Alamo Drafthouse, run by indie film's coolest cat, Tim League. Austin also boasts a thriving music scene all year round, and is commonly referred to as the live music capital of the world.
Oh, and the film festival? It falls in line. The past few years have seen SXSW premiere such indie hits as "Tiny Furniture,...

While Sundance still gets the headlines, the last few years have seen the film strand of South By Southwest, the Austin, Texas cultural conference, become just as vital to the movie world as Robert Redford's baby. The past few festivals alone witnessed some of the best movies of their respective years debut, from low-budget indies like "The Puffy Chair," "Beeswax," "Tiny Furniture" and "Cold Weather" to more mainstream fare like "I Love You Man," "Adventureland" and "Bridesmaids," to international genre hits like "Kill List," "Attack The Block" and "Monsters."
It's certainly one of the highlights of our cinematic calendar, and there's no reason to think that the 2012 installment, which kicks off on Friday with the world premiere of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard's eagerly anticipated horror-comedy "The Cabin In The Woods," will disappoint.

Drew Goddard's The Cabin in the Woods is finally getting the premiere it deserves. The long-delayed horror film is set to premiere at the SXSW Film Festival from March 9-18 this year.
What is even better is that Joss Whedon, who co-wrote and produced the film, will be in attendance for a Q&A panel. Chris Hemsworth, Richard Jenkins, and Bradley Whitford lead this horror film. I will hopefully be in attendance this year on behalf of GeekTyrant and am looking forward to seeing this and many other great films.

The insane buzz swirling around The Cabin in the Woods — along with the actual film’s general content — makes it the perfect title to open this year’s South by Southwest. And that’s what the people running the festival have figured, as a press release (via /Film) announces that the Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon horror deconstruction will start things off in Austin this March.
Along with some information on the film (which you’ve probably heard over and over at this point), said press release also told of premieres for Kevin Macdonald‘s newest documentary, Marley, as well as Lena Dunham‘s HBO pilot, Girls. But this is only the tip of the iceberg for a festival that presents bizarre, entertaining, sometimes offensive material with the ability to leave a lasting mark in their respective genres.

In addition to premiering the film, producer/co-writer Joss Whedon will participate in a key Conversation panel at the SXSW Film Conference on Saturday, March 10.
The Cabin in the Woods marks Emmy®-nominated writer Drew Goddard’s (Cloverfield, "Lost", "Alias") first foray into directing. This mind-blowing horror film starts, typically enough, as we join five young adults embarking on a weekend of debauchery at an abandoned cabin in the woods. But as layer after layer of the film’s truly kaleidoscopic world is revealed, everything we know about horror is deconstructed and everything we love is reconstructed before our eyes.

#58. Small Apartments - Jonas Akerland Another item that could end up in the Midnight in Park City section is the book to film adaptation of Small Apartments (see movie prop pic above). The 2003 festival edition saw Jonas Åkerlund showcase his first film Spun.

According to his Twitter that's exactly what the Swedish action legend is up to these days, having just started production on Jonas Åkerlund's Small Apartments, an independent comedy adapted from a novella by Chris Millis. No word on who Dolph is playing, but this is certainly an interesting, if not radical shift for the man who in recent years has had something of a renaissance with his directorial action efforts and a role in Sly Stallone's The Expendables. Small Apartments on the other hand appears to be an odd-ball, character-driven comedy based around an urbanite named Franklin Franklin who plays the alpine horn and dreams of the pastoral peace that is Switzerland. Franklin is being played by Little Britain's Matt Lucas, and the rest of...

Okay, a quick trip to Urban Dictionary tells me it means "gym, tan, laundry" and I celebrate these people for understanding the importance of Gain freshness.
Then we have the cover photo itself. For most, spending a great deal of time with one's shirt held up...
