We've picked up on another thriller that's been relatively quiet until we picked up on some information - and a photo - from the American Film Market.
This one is Matty Beckerman's Project Blue Book produced by Hostel's Mike Fleiss and Reservoir Dogs' Lawrence Bender.
"A terrifying sci-fi story inspired by dramatic found footage, Project Blue Book preys on our fear of the unknown as we follow an average American family who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
While driving to a campsite in the Brown Mountains of North Carolina, the Morris family's Gps malfunctions and they are lead to a remote tunnel surrounded by abandoned vehicles. The father, Peter Morris is abducted leaving his traumatized wife and children to flee and seek refusge in a nearby cabin. There, they are horrified to learn that strange lights in the nearby mountains have been linked...

The evidence is clear: White Collar is back in full swing and the momentum propelling it forward this summer is more compelling than ever.
Jeff Eastin and company can rest assured that they won't be receiving "Diminishing Returns" on their investment in plot and character development on Season 4.
We all knew Peter wasn't going to get off lightly after disobeying direct orders not to go after Neal, but I had no idea that it would result in banishment to "the cave."
Poor Peter! With Agent Patterson breathing down his neck, it's a wonder he was able to get anything done. Then again, he did have a little bit of help from Neal and Mozzie. But with any luck, Peter might get out of Evidence sooner, rather than later.
The fact that Peter went against orders in the first place says lot about how he's developing as a character. His transition...

Introduction
In Laissez-passer [Safe Conduct], the film that the French director Bertrand Tavernier made in 2002, we see the French film industry of the Occupation years as a ruined and almost shut-down institution that is highly dependent on the factor of chance. In his story, Tavernier exculpates one of the key figures of the occupation cinema, Henri-Georges Clouzot, from the accusation of collaborating with the Nazis. He pictures Clouzot as a man whose Jewish wife has been held hostage by the Nazis and, and against all odds, he finishes Le corbeau about the vicious and nasty people of a small town in France, where someone is sending poison pen letters to its "honourable" citizens. Le corbeau became a very popular box-office hit during the Occupation, and, at the same time, the underground press attacked it for showing France as a land of the degenerate and perverted people, a view that, according to accusers,...

Well time is nearing to Zack Snyder and Chris Nolan’s casting net catching the new Man of Steel for their reboot of Superman and now we know they want some lesser known to unknown for the coveted role of Superman/Clark Kent. I thought I would take the time put some lesser known names out there that would be good to look at for this film. I have heard of these guys but that’s my job to know these names but to many out there these are dudes they have never heard of. So without furthur ado I think the best choice from all these candidates is Henry Cavill. I think he has the look, the chin, the height, the physical attributes in spades but he also has the acting chops that you’d want in newcomer actor. So who do you like out of our list?
