As a Hello Kitty fan and an EVA fan, I cannot wait for this merch.

Thanks, Simon!
Well....I don´t know...Persihed seems like serious dramafilm....I was expecting a horror comedy like..well...Gremlins (1984), The Frighteners (1996) etc....well...is going to be interesting to follow there careers.

Perished is rather different from the look of this http://vimeo.com/25445912

This seems similar:

Hello Todd Brown (and Garth).

This is a good opportunity for me to clarify a few things:

The film is a blackly comic drama, but the humour here is Bunuelian: anarchic, dark and lacerating.

Other websites have mistakenly described the plot as revolving around "a priest who becomes a pariah in his parish after being involved in an abuse scandal". In fact, the reverse is true. Everyone knows that the priest is a good man, but this still does not prevent his community from tormenting him. Hence the Bunuelian comedy.

Imdb has the most succinct and accurate synopsis: "After Father James Lavelle is threatened during a confession, the good-natured priest must battle the dark forces closing in around him."

Obviously, the plot is a reference to Hitchcock's I CONFESS, but the style is basically Bresson. With jokes.

nono please no . as i wrote earlier: Shinya Tsukamoto + Yoshihiro Nishimura

Oh man...that´s funny...."I´m fucking god...I can do anything"...
I want to see Perished....same stuff as featured here..?

This sounds like fantasy/folk tale version of the Hulk.
Hopefully Fassbender has seen episodes of Game of Thrones and heads in that direction.

Yes, but I think it's best to keep a personal bias on the positive as oppose to the negative. A critic should always want to like a film.

But isn't 'personal bias' exactly what film criticism is?

I think the well may finally have run dry.

I respectfully disagree. A real & good film critic knows their limitations, be it a musical, a costume drama, or in my case, a graphically violent film. I know there are some things I just don't enjoy watching, and will not discredit a film that might be good because of my personal bias. So I don't review such films, and leave it to those who would do a better job.

Looks like they broke down in Royston Vasey. "Are you local?"

great actors

If you have a limit just watch the heavily censored version from the U.K.(you will be less offended). A real film critic should be able to view any film no matter what the subject is, as long as no actual person was harmed, adult or child..

love eddie murphy

I haven't laughed so hard and out loud at anything in a good long while. This is so full of win. Thank you for this.

For my entertainment dollar, I'm sure I'll get more out of the Asylum version than the $250 million dollar version. I'm pretty sure Carl Weathers will be in a theatrical movie soon, that is, if the 'Arrested Development' film gets off the ground.

I'll have to do some digging but I'm pretty sure when Reprisal originally announced the film they referred to it as a dark comedy. McDonagh consistently injects humor into his writing - even in dark scenarios - and you simply don't cast O'Dowd and then not let him be funny at all.

And Seven Psychopaths is finsihed filming, so not too long to wait for that, now!

For all those who read "Frank Castle" in the opening paragraph: my apologies. That should of course have been "William Castle" and I have changed it the moment I noticed. Thankfully Frank is imaginary or I would probably have been punished.

Yay!!

I've been suffering from serious Alison Brie withdrawal.

I'm curious what info you have about The Guard. The casting of O'Dowd immediately brings comedy to mind, and wikipedia lists it as a "dark comedy drama", but thefilmstage.com (linked by imdb) quotes it as being a "serious and dramatic narrative" and the Reprisal Films website calls it a "dark drama about a good priest tormented by various members of his community", though they have an accompanying video of a Q&A and when he says what it's about there are laughs from the audience and maybe a smile on his face.

I loved The Guard and am glad John's not taking his time making his next flick like his damn brother is, but I'd really like to get some concrete idea of what it will be.

Maybe the catering was really good.

Oh man....I reeaally hope this is true. I'd take a Kick-Ass sequel anytime over another X-Men prequel.

I hope Brad Alan will return.

Given that he's developing it on his own (with a production company named after an Ulster Cycle character) hopefully it won't be a "300 in Ireland" type film that you'd expect Hollywood to come up with. Like a lot of mythology The Ulster Cycle is pretty batshit insane and while a strict adaptation wouldn't work I'd love it if they tried to preserve the tone of the original material.

This is how a live action AKIRA should be done. :) FTW!

horrible. not sure if akira should ever be made live action

really? can't wait to watch it!

That's ok, i was just saying that the Weinsteins suck! Nothing more D:

Really bad. How is this an interesting tone?

Twitch attracting a new demographic is it? Wonderful...I mean OMG LAAAAMME LOL!

You guys are so lame!! Tobey Maguire is so GAY!!!! OMG! Andrew Garfield is gonna be so much better!! He's already massively hotter so... Anyway, I'm totally psyched for this movie!! You people don't know what the hell you're talking about. The previous trilogy was boring and lame. Sure it had Bruce Campbell but if you wanna watch a movie with Bruce Campbell why not watch something where he's the main character?

Of course not...it will be R-rated...hahahhahahhah

Great news.....this is a very funny film.....well made.

They made a shortfilm a few years back...

goddammit i cant get to austin on such short notice!

grady is the most awesome movie presenting dude ever.

Tom Hardy is like liquid gold....and to see him in such a bad movie is mind bottling...but i guess insurance on a Ferrari can be quite expensive. As long as he doesn't star in a Uwe Boll movie, I'll have to forgive him!!!!!

PG-13 for sure.

exactly, farking stupid!

i just hope this guy doesn't act like Tobey man.
I hate his Peter personality

Way to showcase a scene that makes people think of the former trilogy -- this whole scene is a typical 'Bruce Campbell' scene from Raimi, only without the Bruce and therefore without any of the awesome.

I hope they make it...seems very interesting.

Yeah. It's just eye-candy mish mash with about as much to do with Akira as a Kanye video.

Oh my god, I loved this scene... except for the part where he gets stuck standing around talking to the doorman.

Also, the jacket with a pill graphic on the back is Kaneda's trademark, right?

Thanks, Sean. It seems that Korea hasn't been making as many gangster comedies in recent years, so I am really looking forward to this one.

Now Tetsuo is a generic douche. This is just bad.

The exact same bunch of dumbassses who deemed DRAGON a suitable title for WU XIA, as it happens. Wish they'd hurry up and finish going out of business.

Pretty bad...

I just read the line that included 'giant Bona' and stopped reading until I could stop laughing

Proof no one gets it.
