AFI Fest 2009: The Road, Easier With Practice

4 November 2009 3:07 PM, PST | Alternative Film Guide | See recent Alternative Film Guide news »

Viggo Mortensen, Kodi Smit-McPhee in The Road (top); Brian Geraghty in Easier with Practice (bottom) Tonight, Wed., Nov. 4, at AFI Fest 2009 in Hollywood: The Road has been getting a lot of Oscar buzz for star Viggo Mortensen, director John Hillcoat, and for the film itself, a futuristic father-son adventure drama set in a post-apocalyptic world. In Eduardo Coutinho’s documentary Moscow, the director of a theater group in Brazil’s third largest city sets out to stage a production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters. Kyle Patrick Alvarez’s Easier with Practice sounds like an unusual road movie, one in which a book author (Brian Geraghty) traveling with his brother (Kel O’Neill) becomes emotionally attached to a sexy voice on the phone. Could his brother have something [...] »

The Hurt Locker and Big Fan Lead the Gotham Indie Award Noms

19 October 2009 | ioncinema | See recent ioncinema news »

- Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker (Best Feature, Ensemble, Breakthrough Actor) and Robert Siegel Big Fan (Best Feature, Breakthrough Director and Actor) managed to pick up three mentions each for the 19th Annual Gotham Independent Film Award nominations, but the big winner on November 30th might actually be The Coen Bros. A Serious Man who have noms in the Best Feature and Best Ensemble Perf. categories. Sebastian Silva's (who we just recently interviewed) picked up  pair of noms for The Maid in the Best Feature and Breakthrough Actor categories. Unfortunately Goodbye Solo only received a Breakthrough Actor nom when it should have doubled up with a Best Feature nom as well, and mysteriously Sophie Barthes received a Best Ensemble nom when she should have warranted a Breakthrough Director nom as well - that Breakthrough Director category has a pair of real turkeys in it, and nowhere in sight »

Access Hollywood reports that True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer have had their roles exaggerated in the upcoming film Open House.

The story follows a couple who run into unexpected troubles when they try and sell their home. The film stars Brian Geraghty, Tricia Helfer and Rachel Blanchard.

The film is written and directed by Paquin's brother Andrew. It will be coming out in 2010.

Real-Life Romances On The Big Screen

15 October 2009 3:32 PM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

It's not that strange for two people who work together to fall in love, but it does seem to happen an awful lot in Hollywood (although to be fair, most of us don't spend our days rolling around half-naked with our co-workers). So even though it might be easy to fall in love at work, it isn't as easy for a couple to stay in love once they're spending every waking moment together -- and the latest celebrity couple who will put my theory to the test is Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer (better known as Sookie and Vampire Bill) from HBO's True Blood. The two fell in love (and got engaged) while working on the vampire soap, and now they're heading back to work together in the thriller, Open House.

According to IMDb, the story will center on a couple whose marriage is on the rocks, and are trying »

15 October 2009 6:42 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

On and offscreen couple Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer will no doubt glamour True Blood fans into viewing their new project Open House, a thriller that according to Dread Central is about a young and wealthy couple hosting an open house to sell off their estate only to find that one of their guests never left. The cast is said to feature, amongst others, Tricia Helfer (BattleStar Galactica), Rachel Blanchard (Snakes on a Plane) and Brian Geraghty (The Hurt Locker). Directing the movie is non other than Anna's brother Andrew who lacks experience as a director with only a few credits to his name, but has been a producer since 2002 according to IMDb. The Canadian siblings run a production house together called Paquin Films, which produced two movies so far: Blue State and Something Beneath. I know you can't see it, but I'm shrugging my shoulders right now. Engaged to be married in real life, »

Real-Life True Blood Lovers Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer Sign into Open House

13 October 2009 4:04 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »

If you’ve seen HBO’s “True Blood” TV show, you might have figured that there could easily be something between its two leads, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, who plays the human waitress and her lover vampire, respectively on the show. Apparently the “relationship” has taken place off-screen as well, as the two are now engaged to be married, and now according to Dread Central, have signed up to star in a new horror movie called “Open House”. The film, which will co-star Tricia Helfer, Rachel Blanchard, Brian Geraghty, Jessica Collins, Larry Sullivan, Gabriel Olds, Gerald Downey, and Mia Riverton, is written and directed by Andrew Paquin (aka Anna’s brother), and will star Paquin and Moyer as a wealthy couple trapped in a strained marriage who host an open house in order to sell their home. They are horrified to find out days later that one of their »

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer Host an Open House, Vampires Not Invited

13 October 2009 12:47 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

I suppose we should just get used to seeing Anna Paquin and her True Blood co-star/real life fiance together all the freaking time. The couple are now starring in a new thriller, Open House, directed and written by Paquin's brother Andrew. His past credits don't suggest much, but I suppose having some hot stars in the family makes it easier to get projects off the ground. According to Dread Central, the film will apparently concern a young and wealthy couple who host an open house to sell off their property, only to learn that one guest never left. The cast also features Tricia Helfer, Rachel Blanchard, and Brian Geraghty, among many others. As a thriller setup, I actually think its quite promising. An open house is one of those events that can be incredibly anxiety-inducing---especially to people who feel the need to always be in control. The synopsis makes »

Review: The Hurt Locker - A look at Warfare 2.0

21 September 2009 1:28 AM, PDT | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

Kathryn Bigalow’s outstanding The Hurt Locker is a rare Hollywood beast. A visceral, claustrophobic, hallucinatory filmic experience and an uncynical movie about war that, unlike its many precedents, dares not to glorify military heroism or glamourise conflict. It refuses to weigh up the reasons for war or fudge the drama of battle, but drags its audience into a catastrophic military mire in which the combatants on either side are engaged in an almost unmilitary, in the traditional sense, “game” of wits and bravado. This is a film not about morality or impossible Manichean ideologies but one about men and, as an examination of the individual motivations that impel soldiers in Warfare 2.0 – not patriotism or jingoistic breast-beating but fragile terror or, as the film dares to suggest, the adrenaline rush - it is extraordinary. Eschewing the conventions of narrative, Bigalow has constructed a series of gut-wrenchingly tense micro-dramas in which a three-man bomb disposal squad, »
