The two stars will join Henry Cavill, who plays a man whose family is kidnapped abroad, in The Cold Light Of Day. Willis is set to play Cavill’s father and Weaver will purportedly play the villain in the kidnapping plot.  The film is being helmed by JCVD director Marbouk El Mechri. Read the full story

A press release sent out by Paramount Pictures is lauding the fact that their low budget Hail Mary, Paranormal Activity, has grossed over $100 million domestically alone. Considering what it cost to make and the very cheap method of advertising used to promote the film, it is a landmark success for the company and possibly one of the most successful bets in the industry.

Crossing the $100 million mark at the box office also pushes the film into being the top grossing R-Rated thriller of the past decade. It even has, however unlikely, accumulated enough money to earn the mantle for the fifth largest horror release ever. I am sure that no one involved in the production or the distribution of the film could have ever imagined such success. The film continues to pull in successful numbers every weekend and is still retaining momentum as word-of-mouth continues to grow.

Entertainment Tonight has released the trailer for F. Gary Gray’s latest film Law Abiding Citizen. The film stars Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler. It is “a thriller about a brilliant sociopath who orchestrates a series of high-profile murders that grip the city of Philadelphia – all from inside his jail cell – and the prosecutor assigned to his case who realizes he is the only one who can end the reign of terror.”

Anything Park Chan-wook creates is guaranteed to be unique, brilliant, and very twisted at a minimum. Well, anything that isn’t I’m a Cyborg at least. Park’s newest film titled Thirst is a vampire romance-erotic-thriller-dark comedy-drama –  yes, that is a lot of adjectives — inspired by the 19th century French novel by Emile Zola titled Therese Raquin. Park creates a uniquely Korean, and uniquely Park, vision of the vampire mythos and asks the audience to explore the dilemma of a Catholic priest discovering himself having a thirst for blood and the moral and spiritual crisis that would develop.  Park delivers on the elements you would hope but definitely falls short of masterpiece quality like Oldboy or even that of Lady Vengeance. Heavily bloated with a narrative that often loses itself much less the audience, Thirst desperately needed another trip through the cutting room. It crawls when it should be running but luckily brings it back home before losing the audience completely. As negative as it may sound the positives definitely outweigh the negatives and another volume has without a doubt been added to the dark and twisted Zeitgeist of Park Chan-wook film.
