Indy Film Fest Fave ‘Ben’s at Home’ is Getting a Web Series…Hell Yes

bens at home - posterI was happy today to get news that one of my fave films of 2014, Ben’s at Home, is in the process of getting made into a web series. I was lucky enough to catch the film at the Indy Film Fest and had the fantastic opportunity to speak with both co-writer/star Dan Abramovici and co-writer/director Mars Horodyski about the film and their process. You can catch my review here.The basics of the plot is a guy who goes through a bad breakup decides not to leave his house…ever. Everything he needs, he can get sent to his house. Why leave?

So, there is a way that you (yes you!) can help out the Ben’s at Home team. Watch the teaser below and throw a comment their way on YouTube. The Canadian-based filmmakers are looking to get funding through Canada’s Independent Production Fund to get this thing off the ground. So what harm can that do? The film was funny, witty and topical and I expect the web series will expand on what Ben is up to now.

Get there, people. I’m really excited about this project and you should be too.

Walt Disney Animation Studios Reveals ‘Zootopia’ Concept Art

walt-disney-animation-studios-screen

 

Back in August, Disney announced at the D23 Expo that director Byron Howard (Bolt, Tangled) is directing an animal’s world comedy adventure film called Zootopia for the companies Animation Studios, today comes a first look at the concept art currently being worked on for the project. You can check out the pics below!

The film tells the story of a modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.

Jason Bateman voices the character of Nick Wilde for the film.

Zootopia will be released on March 4, 2016

SNOWDEN_1st_LookSMALLToday, Open Road Films released the first look at Academy Award winning director Oliver Stone’s International thriller, Snowden. The film stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Edward Snowden, an American computer professional who leaked classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) to the mainstream media, starting in June 2013. In this first look, before he was a whistle-blower, Edward was an ordinary man who unquestioningly served his country.

Zack Snyder Reveals First Look at Jason Momoa as Aquaman!

aquamanjasonmomoa

Zack Snyder pretty much broke the internet today when he decided to reveal the first look at Jason Momoa as Aquaman!

Included with the photo was the following statement and hastag:

There is only one true King. #unitetheseven

Momoa, it has been previously announced, to is set to first appear as The Marine Marvel in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice set to be released on March 25, 2016. He will then star in Justice League Part One in 2017, followed by the solo Aquaman movie in 2018 and, most likely, Justice League Part Two in 2019.

Biggest question here is, what does the tagline  “Unite The Seven” refer to? My guess is this is the first of seven posters which will reveal the Justice League, as there are seven on them (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and Flash). We will just have to wait and see…

Sound off! What do you think of the look?

NYFF 52- Liz’s Review: ‘Shorts Program 2’ is full of delight, fright, and insight

nyff New York Film Festival 2014

While I was not afforded to time to attend last week’s first round of Shorts, today I had the pleasure of seeing The NYFF52 Shorts Program 2, a collection of really well done films. Engrossing, never dull, and surely surprising.
