Vincent Cassel and David Cronenberg are getting the band back together for The Shrouds, a disturbing meditation about grief, making peace with death, and watching your loved ones decompose in real time. Yeah, you heard me. The Shrouds teaser trailer offers a brief glimpse at Cronenberg’s next mind-bending thriller and the filmmaker’s first project with Cassel since teaming up for Eastern Promises and A Dangerous Method. According to Cronenberg, The Shrouds is a personal project for him, with parts of the story being autobiographical.
In The Shrouds, Vincent Cassell takes on the role of Karsh, “an innovative businessman and grieving widower, who builds a novel device to connect with the dead inside a burial shroud. This burial tool installed at his own state-of-the-art though controversial cemetery allows him and his clients to watch their specific departed loved one decompose in real time. Karsh’s revolutionary business is on...

Sylvester Stallone isn’t just an actor, but a director and writer himself. Because of this, Stallone once had an unfavorable reputation behind-the-scenes of wanting to take control of the projects he starred in.
So when Stallone was cast in this obscure thriller, this filmmaker flat-out refused to collaborate with him. Until he was forced to.

The 2002 feature film D Tox, also titled Eye See You, might be one of the more obscure films in Stallone’s filmography. The movie was based on the novel Jitter Joint, and starred Stallone as a psychologically tortured federal agent hunting down serial killers.
Filmmaker Jim Gillespie would helm the project. He had a long list of big-named actors he wanted to work with on the thriller, but the Rocky star wasn’t one of them.

Christopher Nolan’s Memento captivates audiences as a mind-bending psychological thriller project, based on the short story Memento Mori by his brother, Jonathan Nolan. Given that the movie garnered widespread acclaim, it would have been anything but that if the latter hadn’t presented his unique idea.

For some artists, the duties and demands of awards attention can be a lifelong dream come true. For others, it’s a slog. Or worse. Christopher Nolan may fall in the latter category, based on what his Oppenheimer star Robert Downey Jr. said from the stage on Thursday night in Park City during the Sundance Film Festival’s opening night gala.
“During this wildly social season, in the wake of resounding global reaction to the Oppenheimer phenomenon, Chris and I shared a vulnerable moment of existential query. He placed his hand on my shoulder, got a little misty and whispered, ‘I’m beginning to wonder, is it possible: Death by schmoozing?’ Adulation, congratulations, celebration, being thanked and honored is as desirable to him as being tarred, feathered and pilloried.”
If that’s true, Nolan didn’t show it nor did he flinch during his time inside the DeJoria Center in nearby Kamas,...

Seven months have gone by since we heard that The Shrouds, the latest thriller from legendary director David Cronenberg, had wrapped production. We still don’t know when this one is going to be released into the world, but the first images have been unveiled by the French film magazine Cahiers du Cinéma – and thanks to TerenceYiBo on X, you can see those images at the bottom of this article!

When Summit Entertainment brought Christopher Nolan’s Memento to the American Film Market in 2000, the British- born director was still a relative unknown. The screenplay he wrote for his second feature proved puzzling as it wove together two timelines, one in reverse chronological order, to tell the story of a man with short- term memory loss trying to piece together the truth behind his wife’s murder.
But producer Aaron Ryder, calling it “perhaps the most innovative script I had ever seen,” brought it to Newmarket Films, which agreed to finance the project on a budget that was variously reported as $4.5 million to $9 million. When Newmarket failed to interest an American distributor, the company decided to release it itself domestically, with Summit coming aboard to handle international sales.
After big-name stars like Brad Pitt passed, Australian actor Guy Pearce was cast in the mind-bending lead role, with Carrie-Anne Moss, fresh from The Matrix,...

Movie maker Christopher Nolan made his first feature with little to no money before hitting it big with Memento. But the director shared his debut film was inspired by a real life crime.

Nolan’s cinematic debut was the 1998 indie flick Following. As its title suggests, the film was about a writer who stalks people to use their lives as material for his work. The Oppenheimer director first came up with the idea just by being around people. But the idea further grew after Nolan found himself the victim of a random and unexpected crime.
“You’d go out of your flat and you’d be surrounded by people,” Nolan once told Mental Floss. “I became interested in the idea of looking at individuals and saying, ‘What’s that person’s story?’ Right around that time,...

Here are his top 10 films ranked, after his latest release, Oppenheimer.
10. Tenet (2020) Tenet Trailer
Tenet is Nolan’s most ambitious and mind-bending film to date. It revolves around a secret agent who uses a mysterious technology that can invert the flow of time to prevent a global catastrophe. The film features spectacular action sequences, impressive cinematography, and a stellar cast led by John David Washington and Robert Pattinson. However, it also suffers from a convoluted plot, confusing dialogue, and a lack of emotional depth.

Los Angeles, April 18 (Ians) Actress Mischa Barton is joining the new season of the iconic Australian soap
‘Neighbours’.
Barton will guest star in the role of Reece, an American new to Erinsborough who’s not quite who she appears to be, reports ‘Deadline’.
