Coming off one of the best films of last year, Tangerine, director Sean Baker is going from iPhone to 35mm for his next feature, The Florida Project. We spoke with him about the drama and now it’s recently gone into production, with Willem Dafoe spotted on set. Currently shooting in Orlando, it follows a six-year-old and her group of friends during summer break as they adventure and soar on youth while their parents handle real-life problems. Although there are no details on his role, one could assume Dafoe will play one of these parents. [Page Six]

Oh how I wish I was up at SXSW! I've been really pumped up for the Fede Alvarez-directed remake of Evil Dead! Looks like the movie is going to deliver the awesomeness, especially for horror fans. Here's a round-up of reviews from around the web giving their thoughts on the film. After reading through these I'm excited as hell to see the movie for myself!
ShockTillYouDrop - "Evil Dead is slickly put together, but it is also vapid and vacuous. It wants to be an entertaining film because that's its job, but it's only willing to try so hard at it. For horror fans, that's probably enough. There is gore aplenty and over the top violence.
/Film - "Evil Dead veers between being a tweaked but faithful remake of elements of Raimi’s first two movies — like a greatest hits record that is also a collection of covers — and its own original film.

Here are two bits of news related to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, neither of them released as strictly promotional material and both of them fun and insightful in their own way. Which is certainly refreshing after the constant cascade of clips and TV spots and posters and hi-res stills over the last few weeks. Firstly we have an editorial by the fantastic Renn Brown over at Chud regarding the greater 48 Fps discussion that has followed Peter Jackson's latest film everywhere...

The Hobbit is finally upon us, and with it, the next step (or misstep) in tentpole movies – 48 Frames Per Second. Even before the film is released, we’re hearing complaints – the most common being that it looks like video and that it causes motion sickness – while exhibitors haven’t exactly embraced the technology with relatively few daring to show the film in its native format. Is all this criticism fair? Or will we be seeing exhibitors clamouring over one another to offer next year’s instalment of the film in High Frame Rate?
Before we get any further into the arguments for and against the technology, it’s probably worth exploring a bit of the science behind it.
When we look at an object, we don’t see all of it. Our eyes scan around it in tiny, imperceptible movements, building up a picture through persistence of vision. These tiny eye movements,...
