If the success of PIRANHA 3D proved anything, it’s that audiences are keen to see beautiful people eaten alive by ridiculous fish monsters, and it’s fair to say that 2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK will feature plenty of that business.

The film will be released here in the UK under Brit producer Jonathan Sothcott’s ‘Present…’ distribution label. Sothcott had the following to say about the film:

As Carmen Electra steps in as a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent, we wanted to remind the world just why we loved her with the trailer for her killer fish epic TWO HEADED SHARK ATTACK, which I’m bringing to DVD in the UK in May. With Carmen, Brooke Hogan and a double headed man-eating shark in the mix, I’m not actually sure what more you could ask for from a B movie.

2-HEADED SHARK ATTACK will arrive in the UK May 2012

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES’ Jonathan Liebesman takes over directing duties for the sequel, that has this time been shot using actual 3D cameras, as opposed to the dreadful rushed conversion job of the remake. Now we have a look at the latest posters and banner for the film that is released 30th March:

Also starring in WRATH OF THE TITANS is Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes and Danny Huston plus newcomers to the franchise Rosamund Pike, Toby Kebbell, Bill Nighy and Edgar Ramirez.

‘I was a child actor for years and quit at 19, went to school a while, and a big part of why I came back was that I ultimately wanted to make movies,’ said the infuriatingly handsome and talented performer. ‘I spent a year working with Chris Nolan, Rian Johnson, Steven Spielberg, and I did my best to pay attention. I’ve also been making short films for a long time now, I’ve directed a ton of them, and that is a huge part of why I feel comfortable and confident in this.’

Not only that, but the INCEPTION star will be going all Woody Allen on us by writing, as well as starring and directing.

‘This is the first time I finished a feature film I thought was good enough to make into a movie.’ JGL the writer is certainly looking after JGL the actor, by hiring Johansson to co-star and casting himself against type. ‘I wrote myself a Hell of a role, one that people wouldn’t necessarily think of me for. The film is a sexy comedy about a modern-day Don Juan, and his quest to become less of a selfish dick.’

We here at THN are HUGE JGL fans and couldn’t be more excited for the actor/director/writer/musician/pin-up/Batman-cast-member. He’s had tremendous success over the last few years, with hits like 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, INCEPTION and 50/50. And 2012 is shaping up to be another mega year, with sci-fi actioner LOOPER, historical bio-pic LINCOLN, fast paced thriller PREMIUM RUSH and some small, indie art house flick called THE DARK KNIGHT RISES.

He will reunite with the producer of LOOPER and BRICK (2005) Ram Birgman for the as yet untitled comedy, and shooting is due to start on 16th April.

And just because we can, here’s a gratuitous gallery of one Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Hopes, dreams and aspirations. We have all had them at least one time in our lives, albeit some more significant and important than others. Striving to make it in the world of film is a process many have gone through with varying degrees of success. Even the best in the business had to struggle and work hard to get to where they are today, but just having the drive and determination to attempt such a feat, deserves some credit in such a cut-throat business.

Just last year, director Justin Kurzel showed just what you can accomplish with a zero-budget and a cast with zero-acting experience. Giving us one of the most chilling cinematic experiences in of the form of his true-life Australian thriller SNOWTOWN. A heartbreaking and shocking film that is hard to forget, long after the credits roll, featuring a performance of unnerving menace from Daniel Henshall, and one that belongs right up there with Michael Rooker’s Henry. Lets also not forget British, KILL LIST director Ben Wheatley, whose daring debut DOWN TERRACE mixed kitchen-sink drama and low-level gangsters, with utterly brilliant effect.

The latest emerging talent to follow in the footsteps of these fantastic cinematic magic makers can be found in Callum Andrew Johnston, whose love of cinema lead to him studying the medium at the Ifield Community College. Having decided that filmmaking was the journey he would like to pursue, Johnston co-wrote and directed the short film CROSSED PATHS, and micro-budget full-length feature RH11 (which you can enjoy via YouTube HERE). Hugely inspired by the likes of Guy Richie’s gritty crime-capers LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELLS and SNATCH, Johnston, now has another feature already completed, which happens to be a bolder follow-up (but strong enough story as a stand-alone feature) that expands on his characters from RH11 –  and all this before his 21^st birthday.

LITTLE DISTRICT, written solely by Johnston himself, has a violent and darkly comic plot with the focus on the run down estate of RH11, and details how the central characters come to terms with the kidnapping and brutal murder of Tommy King. The pressure-cooker anticipation of the trial of those responsible is coming to a close with two of the estate’s very own residents accused. Many of those who knew both the victim and villains are at a crossroads in their life. Jess, the former lover to the murdered Tommy, is struggling to deal with the horrifying crime; turning to drink and drugs and working as a stripper to make ends meet, Jess is oblivious that she works for the very man who gave the order for the murder. Danny on the other hand, whose close friendship with Tommy and bond with Jess after a saving her from a harrowing childhood experience, left the estate in an attempt to forget the ordeal. Upon hearing the news of Jess’ downward spiral, Danny is faced with a desperate decision; should he return and help a friend in need when it could in turn lead him on to a path that could spell disaster for them both? A path that others around him seem destined for… a life behind bars? Or even worse?

The film, shot in Johnston’s home town of Crawley, West Sussex, took advantage of using locations and local young talent known to the director. Like so many filmmakers before him, the pre-production stage was not without its problems. The actor set to portray the character of ‘Little Nick’ dropped out two-weeks before shooting was set to begin; leaving Johnston with a decision of just who will replace him. Bravely, it was Johnston who actually stepped in, making an appearance in his very own feature (admittingly only because he knew the lines under such short notice). The cast is led by Michael Oram and Hannah Charlton, who appear as the lead characters of Danny Jones and Jess Hunter. Support also comes in the form of Billy Lenson, Ali Storm, Gareth Biddle and Darren Enright.

Johnston gave thanks to his hometown of Crawley, by staging the film’s premiere there last month. For a film shot on such a micro-budget, the plot is one that appears promising and hard-hitting. The set of character posters capture perfectly the persona we expect each character to have. While the film’s main poster, along with the gloomy skyline behind the entire major cast giving the sense of the foreboding darkness that surrounds the films dark story. All exhibit more than a hint of ‘epic’ about them. Acquiring rising photographer and poster designer Claire Curtis (who also worked on the Noel Clarke and James D’Arcy Brit prison-drama SCREWED), also proving to be a major coup for the director.

THN will have an interview with writer and director, Callum Andrew Johnston coming soon, as well as a review of his film LITTLE DISTRICT.

Here is a new peak at the upcoming family adventure, coming to cinemas 30^th March.

A host of well-know faces of Adam Sandler regulars will contribute to the voice-talent, including David Spade, Kevin James, Steve Buscemi and Sandler himself as overprotective father Dracula.  Miley Cyrus, Fran Dresher, David Koechner, Molly Shannon and Andy Samberg round out the rest of the cast. The official synopsis goes as follows:-

Welcome to the Hotel Transylvania, Dracula’s (Sandler) lavish five-stake resort, where monsters and their families can live it up, free from meddling from the human world. But here’s a little known fact about Dracula: he is not only the Prince of Darkness; he is also a dad. Over-protective of his teenage daughter, Mavis, Dracula fabricates tales of elaborate dangers to dissuade her adventurous spirit. As a haven for Mavis, he opens the Hotel Transylvania, where his daughter and some of the world’s most famous monsters – Frankenstein and his bride, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, a family of werewolves, and more – can kick back in safety and peace. For Drac, catering to all of these legendary monsters is no problem – but his world could come crashing down when one ordinary guy stumbles on the hotel and takes a shine to Mavis.
