This trailer has been out for a few days now, but I thought it was the perfect trailer to feature today, not only because no one is at work on a Sunday, but because it's a great indie trailer. The Killer Inside Me is the latest film from British filmmaker MichaelWinterbottom about a West Texas deputy sheriff who is slowly unmasked as a psychotic killer. Casey Affleck stars as the sheriff...
... a very promising flick, and with all the talent involved I simply couldn't help posting about it. MichaelWinterbottom's most recent film Genova didn't get a ton of attention at TIFF last year, but his previous two films, A Mighty Heart and The Road to Guantanamo both made my top 10 lists in their respective years. This ...
I've really been looking forward to footage from MichaelWinterbottom's adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel The Killer Inside Me. I'm a massive Thompson fan, and adaptations of his novels have about a .500 average. (I'm the guy that doesn't like The Grifters much; I infinitely prefer a movie like Tavernier's Coup de Torchon.) The cast here seems to be on the money -- Casey Affleck as...

... . The actor has been surfing the waters off Australia since childhood. He will next be seen in the MichaelWinterbottom directed thriller, The Killer Inside Me , an adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel. Commenting on the appeal of the book, Baker told Variety: “Winton’s book beautifully captures the excitement and brutality of growing up in a way I’ve only experienced...
... that's been addressed by prominent western directors in recent times, with mixed results. In 2002, MichaelWinterbottom's docudrama, In This World, concentrated on the dangerous journey of Afghan immigrants to London, portraying the exploitation and hardship they face without revealing their individuality and motivations. That same year also saw the release of Dirty Pretty Things,...
Gotham: 'Mentalist' star, Johnson will produce adaptation -- "The Mentalist" star Simon Baker and producer Mark Johnson have teamed to acquire feature rights to the Tim Winton novel "Breath."
A promotional trailer has arrived for The Killer Inside Me, the adaptation of the Jim Thompson novel which sees a small town sheriff who slowly allows the psychopathic killer inside him, a part he's been hiding for a very long time, out, and watches his life fall apart around him. Directed by MichaelWinterbottom and starring Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson, Jessica Alba, Ned Beatty, Bill...
... costs. Sci-fi flicks from filmmakers you wouldn't expect to make sci-fi flicks ( Jean-Luc Godard , MichaelWinterbottom and Stanley Donen are a few examples) always fascinate me, so I'm very anxious to see what Anderson comes up with if he ever does go through with the idea, whether or not he manages to actually film on location. If the space setting isn't even a priority, and he...
... , Gentleman (1759-1767): In the words of Steve Coogan (playing himself playing Tristram Shandy in MichaelWinterbottom ’s film version of Sterne’s seemingly unfilmable novel), Tristram Shandy is “a post-modern classic before there was any modernism to be post- about.” Sterne’s 1759 masterpiece is an anachronism—a case of modern, even post-modern, literary sensibility springing up...
... and books out about him and his milieu - and they're all amazingly good. Just a few examples: MichaelWinterbottom's 24 Hour Party People (2002), Anton Corbijn's Control (2007) and Grant Gee's documentary, Joy Division (2007). John Bonham (5/31/1948-9/25/1980). When he died of a vodka overdose, Led Zeppelin disbanded. For more on Bonham, there are the Led Zeppelin albums and concert...

When it comes to hosting, India seems to prefer Julia Roberts over Angelina Jolie. Roberts is currently shooting in rural Haryana (India) for “Eat, Pray, Love” (Ryan Murphy), while Jolie was in Pune-Mumbai (India) in 2006 for filming “A Mighty Heart” (MichaelWinterbottom). Even when comparing with Bollywood actresses like megastar Filmfare Award winner Aishwarya...
