Bryan Singer is planning a documentary feature that would address the sexual misconduct allegations against him and also chronicle his attempt to make a filmmaking comeback years after a career implosion. Documentary sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the project has been floated in the nonfiction world, with Variety reporting that the disgraced director is self-financing the endeavor.
Singer has remained out of the Hollywood spotlight following a 2019 exposé in The Atlantic. The piece included claims by four Singer accusers detailing sexual encounters, including one allegation of rape, with teenage boys. (In 2019, Singer settled a 2017 suit filed by Cesar Sanchez-Guzman, who alleged the director sexually assaulted him during a 2003 party in Seattle. Singer has denied all allegations of abuse and misconduct.)
Prior to the exposé in The Atlantic, Singer was attached to direct the remake of ’80s action film Red Sonja but was dropped from the project following the publishing of the report.

In October 2017, Bryan Singer appeared energetic and in control as he welcomed Olympic diver Greg Louganis and Queen guitarist Brian May on the London set of “Bohemian Rhapsody.” But behind the scenes, chaos reigned. The onetime Hollywood wunderkind’s career was about to unravel, as Fox executives were growing weary of Singer’s pro- longed absences and erratic behavior. On Dec. 4, Fox pulled the trigger and fired Singer, replacing him with Dexter Fletcher. As Louganis and May smiled for photos with the acclaimed director, it marked one of Singer’s last known days on a film set.
Getting fired from “Bohemian Rhapsody” was a public humiliation for a filmmaker who had racked up hit after hit. But a series of personal scandals would dwarf that professional setback. Over the ensuing five and a half years, Singer tried to reenter the fray with an $80 million remake of ’80s action film “Red Sonja” for Millennium Films.

When The Gauntlet published Brindlewood Bay, author Jason Cordova realized that he had a framework that could be applied to other tabletop roleplaying game settings aside from mystery-solving grannies that run afoul of fiendish cults. After the success of the Kickstarter campaign last year, Cordova returned to an idea he was kicking around in 2014 called Public Access, which had players narrating weird found footage horror scenes but didn’t have much in the way of game or story. Upon revisiting it, he expanded on the idea with lessons learned from both Brindlewood Bay and The Between, another game of his that uses the same system, while still retaining his original analog horror vision. After getting my hands on Public Access, it’s clear that this RPG sits at a perfect intersection of mechanics and theme, creating a unique experience for both players and game masters.

Marvel’s “Captain Marvel” opened to Thursday-preview grosses of $20.7 million. That’s only slightly below last year’s “Black Panther,” which opened one hour later. For co-directors Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, that figure nearly doubles the total gross of the four indies they made before Marvel came calling..
This is a film that has even rival studios rooting for its success. Something has to stop the box-office slide of 2019; movie ticket sales are down are a catastrophic 30 percent so far. One reason for the falloff is by this time last year we had “Black Panther,” 2018’s biggest domestic grosser (and second largest opener to Marvel’s “Avengers: Infinity War”).
Whatever your feelings on the comic-book takeover of Hollywood, their success is vital for the struggling theater business. And as Marvel maintains its dominance In that world, they look to indie filmmakers to guide them.

It shouldn’t have been too surprising that John Ottman won this year’s Ace Eddie for Best Edited Feature Film Drama for Bohemian Rhapsody. Equally it shouldn’t be at all shocking that he is nominated for his first Academy Award in Film Editing for that film. If anyone would know the challenge of turning around a troubled ship, it is Ottman’s fellow film editors — and, in perhaps the year’s most extraordinary achievement in film editing, Ottman was integral to helping save the embattled production of the Queen biopic after its director Bryan Singer was fired with about 20% or so of the principal photography still to be finished. Circumstances surrounding the firing, not creative, are still foggy depending on who you talk to, but Dexter Fletcher was brought in to finish the shoot, although he chose not to challenge Singer’s sole directorial credit and is listed as an executive producer instead.

Now that the seventh season of Game of Thrones has wrapped up, Arya Stark is headed to Twitter. Maisie Williams, who portrays the headstrong Thrones protagonist, is the first of two celebrities (the other being Miley Cyrus) who will host episodes of Public Access, a web series sponsored by sneaker brand Converse.
Public Access is a chatty, informal show that channels the easygoing feel of the programming tier from which it takes its title. Each 15- to 20-minute installment of the show will be driven by the star power of its host and guests. The premiere episode, which will go live on September 5, will be led by Williams, who will be joined by another young, Emmy-nominated actress: Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things. Both Williams and Brown previously appeared in a Converse campaign that advertised the brand's Chuck Taylor line.

Chris Gethard doesn’t want you to worry about him, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t nervous.
“Permanence is not my usual M.O. and it’s pretty terrifying,” Gethard said, sitting in the Hollywood offices of Funny or Die last month. He smiled, but even he’ll admit that behind that grin, there’s the reserved bit of trepidation that comes before releasing a bit of yourself out into the world.
On Saturday, his comedy special “Chris Gethard: Career Suicide” will debut on HBO. In it, over the course of an hour and a half, Gethard details his decades-long relationship with depression, recounting his first experiences with a sinking sensation he couldn’t quite identify, all the way through impulsive suicide attempts, pieced-together blackout spells and the process of finding healthier, constructive ways to deal with all of those conflicting feelings and ideas.

Public Access (1993)
“What’s wrong with Brewster?” That deceptively simple question, spoken at the start of a Podunk public access TV show, kicks off the drama in Public Access, and also kicked off the careers of director Bryan Singer and screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie. The film premiered at Sundance and won the Grand Jury Prize, yet failed to secure distribution, an event that would be almost unheard of nowadays. (Recent Grand Jury winners include Fruitvale Station, Whiplash, and Me And Earl And The Dying Girl.) But although it took awhile for the movie to make its way to the public, it delivered both Singer and McQuarrie to Hollywood, helping ...

Fugitive on FBI's 10 Most Wanted List Arrested For Alleged Murder of Pregnant Woman and Unborn Child
Shanika Minor, a Wisconsin woman recently added to the FBI's Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list for the alleged murder of a nine-months pregnant woman, was arrested in North Carolina, the bureau said in a press release Friday. Minor, 24, was arrested by Cumberland County Sheriff's deputies without incident at a motel in Fayetteville, North Carolina, after the FBI Public Access Line received a tip about her whereabouts, according to the press release. She has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide and first-degree intentional homicide of an unborn child, as well as unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. Minor is now being held...

Directors’ trademarks is a series of articles that examines the “signatures” that filmmakers leave behind in their work. This month, we’re examining the trademark style and calling signs of Bryan Singer as director.
Bryan Singer studied film at the New York School of Visual Arts and USC School of Cinematic Arts. After graduating, one of his short films caught the eye of a production company who funded low budget films. He then wrote Public Access with childhood friend Christopher McQuarrie, which he then directed as his first feature film in 1993. Two years later, he had his breakthrough with The Usual Suspects, which caught the eyes of critics at the Cannes Film Festival before ultimately becoming profitable in theaters. Next, Singer adapted a Stephen King novel for the screen, directing Apt Pupil (1998). That film received mixed reviews and was not a financial success. Singer was then hired to direct X-Men...

For more than two decades, Caveh Zahedi has been exploring his neuroses and desires in awkward, provocative detail. From his first feature "A Little Stiff" through 2005's "I Am a Sex Addict," the film diarist has proved to be an amusingly off-beat guide to his own life. That tendency may very well reach its apotheosis with "The Show About the Show," the irreverent meta web series that Zahedi launched this fall on the Brooklyn-based cable TV and digital network Bric TV.

At first glance, it looked like another of the Tarantino clones filling the art houses in the wake of Pulp Fiction. The Usual Suspects was a gritty crime thriller whose cast mixed cult favorites and unknowns and the writer/director team behind the (unreleased) Sundance sensation Public Access. But early reviews from its own Sundance debut and a canny marketing campaign led to an extraordinary response. In August 1995, the film opened on 42 screens with a stunning per-screen average of more than $15,000 (the top opener for the week, the much-hyped video game adaptation Mortal Kombat, averaged less than $10,000).
In the weeks to come, word of mouth would take The Usual Suspects from indie darling to cult classic. Raves from Rolling Stone, Washington Post, and others also helped spread the word that this was a must-see masterpiece of neo noir.

We've spent months wondering what Stephen Colbert's version of "The Late Show" would look like, and he gave it to us with both barrels in his debut. Kicking things off with a pre-recorded rendition of the national anthem, sung with various citizens at an array of venues across the U.S., Colbert proved he had more than a few surprises up his sleeve from the very start — and not just because of the touching cameo to cap off his opening segment (above).

It's been two decades since cinema's most famous police lineup sent viewers down a twisty rabbit hole in pursuit of someone named "Keyser Soze," and movies have never been the same. Yes, The Usual Suspects was released 20 years ago this week, and if you remember seeing it in theaters in 1995, brace yourself for a surprise twist: You're Old®. Though it was released near the end of the summer, the movie first saw the light of day the previous January at the Sundance Film Festival. Bryan Singer was a distinguished alumnus of the fest, his Public Access having shared the Grand Jury Prize two years earlier. Despite that honor, Public Access never got theatrical distribution, and the bare-bones DVD (released after Singer got famous) is now out of print. But it...

Residents of Monroe, Michigan (population: 20,733) got a surprise on Monday night when Stephen Colbert guest hosted “Only In Monroe” on Monroe Public Access Cable Television (Mpact). “Welcome to another edition of ‘Only In Monroe,'” said Colbert as he watered fake plants on set. “I’m Stephen Colbert filling in for your usual hosts Michelle Bowman and Kaye Lani Rae Rafko Wilson. I’m not sure how many people that is, but none of them could be here tonight.” Colbert, who succeeds David Letterman as host of CBS’ “The Late Show” in September, went on to thank the tiny Michigan public access station.

Sundance. Berlin. Tribeca. Cannes. Venice. Toronto. New York. Once saved for occasional weeks out of any given year, “film festival season” has now become a year-long event. Be it the aforementioned biggest of the big, or the ever growing slate of must-attend smaller festivals like Hot Docs, True/False, Stanley or Telluride, film festivals are cropping up across the globe.
But very few of them are set against a beautiful landscape quite as glorious as the Mammoth Lakes region of California.
Marking their debut this year, the Mammoth Lakes Film Festival will launch their inaugural lineup this week, with a hotly discussed documentary from Alex Gibney leading the way.
Gibney’s Steve Jobs: The Man In The Machine will open the festival this Wednesday. “We are blessed to have gotten such a strong lineup this year,” says Shira Dubrovner, founder of the festival. She, along with veteran programmer Paul Sbrizzi...

While the average audience member might not automatically process this, the overall sound of a film is pivotal to our enjoyment. When it comes to composers, it's almost as if they're engineering their own films away from the filmmakers, with elevated action, moody drama and swooning romance. What's unique is hearing the music of the film, then heading home and hearing it on your own. The mark of a great composition is that it complements the movie perfectly, but on an independent listen, it creates new images all its own inside your head. This week, we're listening to X-Men: Days Of Future Past, from composer John Ottman, a frequent Bryan Singer collaborator. There's much to discuss, and some of it may be vaguely spoilery, though we'll try not to mention any plot details. Who's Responsible? Ottman has collaborated with Singer as far back as Singer's first film, Public Access. Ottman...

Ottman’s range of composition takes in X-men 2, the dark comedy of The Cable Guy, the nightmares of Gothika and Orphan, and the animated notes of Astro Boy.
With six films already released, X-Men is one of the most successful franchises in film history. It started in 2000 with the original X-Men movie,...

Non-Stop
Composed by John Ottman
Varese Sarabande Records
The latest entry in Liam Neeson’s Career Resurgence Extravaganza, Non-Stop has Neeson’s alcoholic air marshal Bill Marks unravel a mysterious bomb threat aboard a flight from New York to London. (Said flight is, in fact, non-stop.) When it’s not withholding key pieces of its mystery, Jaume Collet-Serra’s thriller is both tense and supremely silly — imagine Flightplan’s laser focus on its central character with Speed’s one-upsmanship.
Having previously scored Collet-Serra’s Unknown (also starring Neeson), John Ottman’s no stranger to genre. From Eight-Legged Freaks to Gothika, he’s also scored nearly all of Bryan Singer’s films since the early days of Public Access. His work in Singer’s ill-fated Superman Returns is a standout highlight, showing a deep reverence for John Williams’ importance to the original’s iconography. In short, Ottman has a flexible toolkit,...

"America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon isn't too happy with Chelsea Handler and he's gone to Twitter to vent his frustration. It seems Cannon is upset Handler made jokes about he and his wife, Mariah Carey, appearing in Ebony magazine during an episode of her show, "Chelsea Lately."
Handler claims Cannon was "acting like a white boy" and takes Carey to task for some of the photos in the issue. "How do you claim to be a spiritual person if you've been photographed on a treadmill in high heels?" she jokes.
Once Cannon found out about the insults, the Twitter fun began. "I didn't hear what @chelseahandler said about me because I don't watch her show. (No One Does)," he writes. "What channel is it on, Public access?" He also challenged her to appear on "Wild 'n Out," tweeting, "Sounds like @chelseahandler wants 2 WildOut! Its easy to throw rocks at...

8: Jack the Giant Slayer
Although most of the story follows a predictable trajectory, there are some things to like. It’s enthusiastically acted and at times fun, but Jack the Giant Slayer also feels like it was made by a committee. It’s fast paced, energetic but also overwhelmed by digital effects. And it could be a great recommendation for children under the age of ten, only the CGI-heavy battle scenes, landed it with a PG-13 rating. Ultimately it’s an entertaining diversion but not something you’ll revisit ever again.

Director Andrew Bujalski invented mumblecore with his 2002 debut, Funny Ha Ha. His latest film, Computer Chess, stars the geeky competitors of an eighties virtual-chess tournament. These are the movies, books, TV shows, albums, and European countries that shaped his work. 1. Austin City Lights and Brookline Is My Lady (Public-access TV shows)Public access is always the best thing on TV. It’s the last stand of the avant-garde. Austin City Lights was this stunning show with a cast of eccentrics, including a strange woman named “Flash” Jordan Thomas and her mother, Lady B. I have a strong memory of them standing around singing a song they seemed to be making up on the spot. Brookline Is My Lady was a variety show from Boston in the nineties. Sketch-comedy stuff that you wouldn’t find in a more professional production. 2. Elvis Costello, Get Happy!!If I could be a musician, I...

With Sundance London fast approaching, we've highlighted ten Sundance films you really should watch...
For nearly 30 years the Sundance Film Festival has been the pre-eminent North American independent film showcase. Helping to make the names and careers of filmmakers as diverse as Steven Soderbergh, Kevin Smith, Quentin Tarantino Bryan Singer and Christopher Nolan the festival's reach has now spread even further thanks to the inaugural Sundance London show in 2012.
But despite Sundance’s enviable influence at the top of the film tree not every movie – or even award winner – shown at the festival ends up becoming as ubiquitous as Sex, Lies and Videotape or Clerks.
Fast approaching is the Sundance London 2013 festival (full details on that are here), whose line-up is set to be announced on March 11th. The event runs from 25-28 April, and tickets go on sale at the end of next week.

He's directed numerous X-Men, Superman, Tom Cruise, Verbal Kint and Dr. House, but before getting back to the X-Men, he visited the land of giants. In theaters this weekend is Jack the Giant Slayer, directed by Bryan Singer (of Public Access, Usual Suspects, Apt Pupil, X-Men, X2, Superman Returns and Valkyrie), starring Nicholas Hoult as in an epic new take on the Jack and the Bean Stalk story. I interviewed Bryan when offered the opportunity recently, as a fan I couldn't say no even though we couldn't talk about X-Men. But we did talk about Jack before his return to Montreal for seven months of work on Days of Future Past. My interview was conducted over the phone with Bryan Singer. We were asked by the publicist to keep our questions specifically related to Jack the Giant Slayer and not any other movies. I always wish I had more time...

Washington -- The Kennedy Center is expanding onto the Potomac -- literally. The $100 million expansion plan, the Kennedy Center's first structural expansion since its 1971 opening, includes an outdoor performance space floating on the river.

According to the Kennedy Center's website, the expansion -- half of which is to be funded by chairman David M. Rubenstein -- "will add much needed education and rehearsal space to the south end of the Kennedy Center grounds. Public access spaces will include gardens, an outdoor video wall for simulcast performances, and an outdoor performance space on the Potomac River."
Ground is expected to be broken in 2016, with the project completed in 2018, according to the New York Times.

We've seen tons of stills and behind-the-scenes images from Rob Zombie's latest film, The Lords of Salem, but really not much beyond that. No trailer, no clips, nothing. That being said, Artist Direct caught up with Rob and came back with a status report.
“I’m in the final stages of finishing the film. By the end of August, we’ll be done. The sound designers are still creating some of the sound effects for the movie. Once they’re done, I’ll go into the mix stage in August and mix the final sound for the movie. Then, I’ll be done,” Zombie explains.
“This movie is definitely a slow psychological burn…It’s a weird movie,” Zombie continues. “When you watch it, it seems like there’s not a lot happening for a while. However, what’s happening is you’re starting to get sucked into the pace of the movie though.

After months of showing off every image imaginable from his The Lords of Salem, Rob Zombie has been uncharacteristically quiet with regard to the film, but that's about to change as news has finally been posted on his official website as to when and where fans can check out the trailer.
From RobZombie.com:
You’ve been asking for it.
You’ve been waiting [for] it patiently (well ish).
Now, you lucky Zombieheads who will be at the first Zombie/Megadeth show on Friday 11 May at the Pnc Bank Arts Center are in for a real treat.
The first trailer for his upcoming and eagerly awaited new film The Lords of Salem will be premiered at the kick-off show.
The film finished post production a few weeks ago. It is Rob Zombie’s third independant film and his first since he directed Halloween 2.
More coming soon!
So there you have it.
