Agnieszka Holland’s thriller, set on the eve of WWII, sees Hitler’s rise to power and Stalin’s Soviet propaganda machine pushing their “utopia” to the Western world.

Exclusive Carmilla trailer for the classic vampire tale

Film Movement has provided ComingSoon.net with the exclusive trailer debut of Carmilla, the latest screen version of the vampire tale that pre-dates Dracula. Check out the Carmilla trailer in the player below!

Isolated from the outside world, fifteen-year-old Lara (Hannah Rae of Broadchurch, Fighting with My Family) lives in seclusion on a vast country estate with her father and strict governess Miss Fontaine (Jessica Raine of Patrick Melrose, Jericho). Late one evening, a mysterious carriage crash brings a young girl (Devrim Lingnau) into their home to recuperate. Lara immediately becomes enchanted by this strange visitor who arouses her curiosity and awakens her burgeoning desires.

This atmospheric coming-of-age tale, also co-starring Golden Globe-nominee Tobias Menzies (Outlander, The Terror, Game of Thrones, The Crown) is inspired by the 1872 gothic novella by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, who crafted the story of Carmilla 25 years before Bram Stoker put the supernatural story of Count Dracula on the page.

Written and directed by Emily Harris and produced by Lizzie Brown and Emily Precious, Carmilla will open on July 17.

Danny Glover Offers Update on Lethal Weapon Reboot

Danny Glover offers update on Lethal Weapon reboot

The Lethal Weapon franchise has been one of the most celebrated and hit action franchises to survive past its ’80s and ’90s run and after reported talks in January of a fifth film in the series, star Danny Glover has given an update on the potential reboot.

In an interview with Variety, the 73-year-old actor confirmed that there “had been a conversation” in January about another film in the franchise with both Glover and co-star Mel Gibson attached the return and that “there is something of a plan.”

“I don’t want to give away the plot on the script that I read, but I found the plot had very strong relevance to some of things that are happening today,” Glover said. “I can say that. But that was in January. History changes so fast. But yes, there’s been talk about it. I can only tell you, if it does happen, there is something extraordinary in it. If Lethal Weapon gives us some sort of contribution to understanding a little bit more. It would be interesting to do. It would be interesting to see how we take this within the political framework we are in; the economic framework that we are in. And especially that framework as opposed to the communities that have been affected by the kind of police violence, the kind of police standards, and the power that they exert as well. And what would be interesting from that vantage point is what that attempt could be like at this particular moment.”

Created by Shane Black, the first film was directed by Richard Donner and released in 1987 and followed beleaguered veteran detective Roger Murtaugh (Glover) as he is partnered with reckless and PTSD-afflicted Martin Riggs (Gibson). The buddy comedy received rave reviews from critics and grossed over $120 million on a $15 million budget and spawned a franchise that included three sequels starring the two and a TV adaptation with Damon Wayans Sr. and Clayne Crawford taking on the roles of Murtaugh and Riggs that ran for three seasons on Fox before being cancelled.

A fifth film has been in the talks for years, though stalled for a long time as Gibson and Glover have expressed a lack of interest and problems with various scripts offered over time until January saw the news that Lethal Weapon 5 was in active development with the duo returning alongside Donner.

Alamo Drafthouse Moves Into Large-Scale Layoffs in ‘Devastating Step’

Alamo Drafthouse Moves Into Large-Scale Layoffs in ‘Devastating Step’

According to IndieWire, Alamo Drafthouse is moving into large-scale layoffs that include key staff, such as creative director Mike Sampson who shared a message on Twitter about being laid off:

Yesterday I, along with many others who were originally furloughed, was officially laid off from Alamo Drafthouse. I very much enjoyed my time there, but I stand proudly alongside those let go, an extremely wonderful group of humans who were the lifeblood of the company.

— Mike Sampson (@mjsamps) July 1, 2020

In a statement, a representative of Alamo said: “As we’ve looked at the road ahead, it’s become increasingly clear that many positions at Alamo Drafthouse would need to be eliminated, changed, or refocused. This is a devastating step to take. It would be impossible to quantify what these Alamo Drafthouse team members have collectively contributed, and we hope that once things have stabilized, we’ll be able to bring many of them back.”

The company announced in March that it would furlough 80% of its corporate staff and virtually all theater staff members as 40 of its theaters were closed. Soon after, founders Tim and Kerrie League announced an emergency relief fund of two weeks’ pay as well as health coverage through the end of April for the furloughed corporate-owned venue and headquarters staff.

At this time, Alamo has not reopened but will be requiring guests to wear masks once they do. The Texas-based chain is located in 41 complexes in 10 states with amenities including in-theater eating and drinking, specialized programming to supplement studio wide releases, and enhanced audience behavior control.
