Odds: In the roles of young George Lucas and Cock Puncher…
Posted by Alison Willmore on
“The Go-Getter,” which opens this week and which will likely only register as the movie which lead to Zooey Deschanel’s musical career, was directed by Martin Hynes, who played George Lucas in “George Lucas in Love.” [LA Times]
French horror flick “Martyrs,” which I heard memorably described at Cannes as the film that features a woman getting hit in the face for 40 minutes, has been given the Gallic equivalent of an NC-17 for violence. [Twitch]
“A monumental amount of Universal’s archival prints” were destroyed in the fire, writers Sony Pictures’ Jared Sapolin. “Even though the negatives are allegedly safe in New Jersey, this is still a colossal tragedy. It will take Universal years — if not decades — to replace all the lost archival prints (assuming they even have the inclination).” [Hollywood Elsewhere]
Steven Seagal plays a character called “Cock Puncher” in “The Onion Movie,” which came out on DVD today. [Ain’t It Cool News]
Troma’s “Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead” is a “fromage” to Takashi Miike’s “The Happiness of the Katakuris.” [Guardian Film Blog]
And Charlie Kaufman would be down with trimming “Synecdoche, New York,” which could use some serious centering, if the right distributor came around. [Hollywood Reporter]
