One of the most striking elements of the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailers that we.ve seen is that adorable, inventive droid, who we.ve since learned to call Bb-8. Simultaneously something familiar and fresh.it looks like droids we know in some regards, but the fact that the head sits on top of a rolling ball of a body marks it as very different.there.s been a lot of discussion about the science behind this new astromech, especially once we learned it was a practical effect, not Ggi, and two fans have broken it down for our convenience. Lucasfilm hasn.t revealed exactly how they made the tricky little droid work, but two Spanish Star Wars fans, Carlos Sánchez, an engineer, and Emilio Gelardo, a designer who specializes in building all things Star Wars, think they have cracked the code, and their findings are on their...

Last year, David Fincher signed a development deal [1] with Media Rights Capitol that would cover the financing of a couple films, and the new step in moving forward with pictures under that deal is the formation of a company called Panic Pictures. Perhaps appropriately, the first property optioned for the company is a thriller called Panic Attack, which Ted Griffin (Ocean's Eleven, Tower Heist) will script. Vulture [2] has the details of the option, and says the book is about "a New York shrink who shoots and kills a home intruder, then faces a media frenzy and the victim's vengeful accomplice." Jason Starr wrote the book, and tells Vulture, ...the thing about Panic Attack is that there’s a really compelling antihero in this guy Johnny Long [the revenge-minded cohort stalking the psychiatrist and his family]... He’s a very clever, Ripley-esque psychopath. Will David Fincher direct? No idea at this point. He has The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo to finish,...

We shared posters and a trailer for David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It looks as though Fincher may have another project lined up based on a book. According to Vulture, Fincher has optioned Jason Starr‘s crime novel Panic Attack, which tells the story of “a New York shrink who shoots and kills a home intruder, then faces a media frenzy and the victim’s vengeful accomplice.” The screenplay will be written by Starr and produced by Fincher under his new company, Panic Pictures.
Starr has written a number of crime novels. His tenth book, The Pack arrives on shelves next week and is about "werewolf stay-at-home dads run amok on the Upper West Side." Starr is no stranger to Hollywood adaptation. Four of his novels are currently in development, including his 2008 thriller, The Follower, with Bret Easton Ellis adapting.

We won’t be seeing David Fincher‘s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo until December 21st, but the first teaser that premiered this weekend blew pretty much all of us away, and the marketing blitz is continuing with a few posters cropping up online recently. So while we (thankfully) won’t be devoid of him for the rest of 2011, his future seems pretty open.
We know that he’s scheduled to direct 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for Disney, and that there’s also been talks of doing another version of Cleopatra with Angelina Jolie. Also take into account the pilot for the TV series House of Cards that stars Kevin Spacey and that he might also direct the other two installments of the movie trilogy that Dragon Tattoo will be starting, and you see that he isn’t slowing down. Now, we have another project to add to the pile for him.

The plight of illegal immigrants is tremendously complicated, but the bureaucratic difficulties faced by legal immigrants is rarely much of a news story. Still, the concerns that accompany having your life revolve around a country that intends to kick you out still hover in the lives of many residents with green cards. “Immigration Tango” takes on this topic, giving us a look at the complexities of trying to beat the immigration system semi-legally.
In the movie, Elena (Elika Portnoy) and boyfriend Carlos (Carlos Sanchez) are both legal immigrants looking for a way to stay in Miami beyond their visas’ respective expiration dates. Elena is desperate to find a job that will sponsor her, since her visa runs out in just weeks,...

It was an era when student chants of ‘Mao, Mao, Mao’ was replaced with the rattle of machineguns and the explosion of car bombs. Middle class psychopaths and idealists gathered together and decided to overthrow the capitalist system by any means necessary.
Rich kids with guns may be incredibly dismissive, but it’s not far from the truth. But they meant business and murdered a trail of blood across Europe from the early 1970s to the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. From the discontent and mire rose outfits such as the Baader-Meinhof gang, the Red Brigade and Carlos the Jackal.
Olivier Assayas’ landmark television mini-series, Carlos, has been re-cut for theatrical release abroad and features a riveting central performance from Edgar Ramirez, who you may remember from The Bourne Ultimatum.
Clocking in at two hours and thirty-eight minutes it is still an epic, but delivers on all levels. Think...
