James Ashcroft will direct the feature film adaptation of “Old Haunts.” The “Coming Home In the Dark” filmmaker was tapped for the gig by Awa Studios, the film and television division of Artists, Writers & Artisans (Awa), which published the popular graphic novel that is inspiring the movie.
Ashcroft will direct the “Old Haunts” adaptation from a script by in-demand scribe Aaron Rabin, who is hot off of the newly launched Marvel series, “Secret Invasion.” Zach Studin, president of Awa Studios, will produce the movie.
Since the world premiere of “Coming Home In The Dark” at Sundance, where the psychological thriller made a stir, Ashcroft has become an in-demand filmmaker, lining up projects with Agbo, Legendary and Netflix.
“James Ashcroft is a cinematic force, with an incredible vision for this explosive story that collides the genres of crime and horror,” Studin said. “His ability to capture heart-wrenching performances, while delivering gripping tension,...

The three women decide to get their hands dirty and take over the business, which ends up complicating their situation even further. On paper, The Kitchen had all the potential to be the female version of Goodfellas thanks to its top-notch cast and a director who’s writing

The Kitchen, God’s Wife: Berloff Doesn’t Bring the Heat in Halting Melodrama
Hell may as yet have no fury like a woman scorned, but the alchemy of Andrea Berloff’s directorial debut The Kitchen rarely raises above a simmer despite the tense elements and meaty narrative at its disposal. Based on a 2015 comic series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, Berloff, who was notably one of the scribes behind F. Gary Gray’s Straight Outta Compton, the pulpy source material certainly lands squarely in the ‘female of the species is more deadly than the male’ scenario. In a set-up which compares unfavorably to Steve McQueen’s 2018 slow burn genre piece Widows, itself based on a 1980s UK mini-series, three wives of Irish mobsters in 1978 Hell’s Kitchen are forced to scrabble together resources when their husbands get locked up for four years following a failed robbery.…

Director Andrea Berloff told us about getting the world of The Kitchen right and not taking no for an answer.
The narrative of women in gangster films is something seldom explored. That’s why director Andrea Berloff wanted to adapt The Kitchen, a 2014 comic by Ollie Masters and Becky Cloonan, into a film because rarely does this genre explore the brutality and survival from the women’s perspective. The women of The Kitchen go through the gauntlet as they tackle organized crime, gentrification, and domestic violence in order to build a network that provides a means of survival. The ladies must work together to make their small syndicate work, while thwarting both cops and other mobsters in the process.
The women of The Kitchen are living in three separate spheres of life. Kathy Brennan (Melissa McCarthy) is married to Jimmy (Brian d’Arcy James), a loving husband...

In “The Kitchen,” writer-director Andrea Berloff’s three women anti-heroes flip the mob-movie script when they take control of the criminal racket that runs the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood in ’70s New York. But one gangster-film hallmark remains omnipresent: violence.
While Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss participate in dismemberment, blood, and graphic gun violence, Berloff said she took lengths to portray those brutal acts in a less-glorified light.
“I was very conscious about how I was creating the violence,” she said at a post-screening Q&a in Los Angeles this week. “I did not let the women go to firearms training because I wanted them, when they held the guns, to look awkward. I didn’t want the guns to look cool.”
Berloff also opted to crank the volume of the gunshot sound effects, which she hoped would make the audience jump.

Oh, what a movie The Kitchen could have been. It seems impossible to screw up a crime thriller starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss as mob wives who turn the tables on the men who done them wrong. On paper, it’s a great idea to have Andrea Berloff, the Oscar-nominated co-writer of Straight Outta Compton, make her feature directing debut with this adaptation of DC Vertigo comic book series by writer Ollie Masters and artist Ming Doyle.

Across the long history of gangster movies, women have usually been relegated to molls, mothers, or voices of conscience; sometimes tough, but never in control. “The Kitchen,” a violent gender corrective set in an Irish mafia-run ’70s New York, has other plans, eager to present its trio of Hell’s Kitchen wives — Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish and Elisabeth Moss — as badass, bloodthirsty bosses in their own right.
It’s an exploitation flip whose time has surely come, but what writer-director Andrea Berloff has cobbled together around this concept (based on a DC/Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle) is little more than another tone-challenged stumble through mob clichés as prevalent as the trash, graffiti and flared threads dominating the period design.

Kathy is good at it. Claire relishes the violence. Ruby wants to control her own destiny. Drawn together by circumstance — or, more appropriately, because their individually unsatisfying husbands all worked together, badly enough that the cops busted them and now their women need to pick up the pieces — the trio at the center of Andrea Berloff’s “The Kitchen” sets about building their own criminal empire with surprising results.
Set in the grit and grime of ’70s-era New York City, mostly in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of its title, Berloff’s feature directorial debut adds a vivid, and yes, very violent new twist on the mob genre, swapping in scrappy ladies in a typically male-dominated world.
That’s the hook of both the film and the story that plays out within it, as Berloff’s film opens with an ill-fated mob job that throws Jimmy (Brian d’Arcy James...

Actress Melissa McCarthy is impressed with director Andrea Berloff, and says her writing has the power to move people.
"There's an economy to her writing that's really impressive. Andrea can put a lot into a very succinct shot and that's the right way to tell a story like this. It really moves," McCarthy said.

"When we first met she was very clear about the tone and the look, the strength and the unapologetic violence. And it's always good when you can give audiences something they don't necessarily see coming," she added.
McCarthy worked with Berloff on thriller "The Kitchen", which will release in India on August 23. Berloff has written and directed the Warner Bros. Pictures production, which is based on the DC/Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle.

New York City, 1978. The 20 blocks of pawnshops, porn palaces and dive bars between 8th Avenue and the Hudson River owned by the Irish mafia and known as Hell’s Kitchen was never the easiest place to live. Or the safest. But for mob wives Kathy, Ruby and Claire–played by Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss–things are about to take a radical, dramatic turn. When their husbands are sent to prison by the FBI the women take business into their own hands, running the rackets and taking out the competition…literally. Now they own the neighborhood. The gritty, female-driven mob drama “The Kitchen,” from New Line Cinema and Bron Creative, is written and directed by Andrea Berloff, who was nominated for an Oscar for Original Screenplay for “Straight Outta Compton.”

Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss star in this adaptation of Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle's The Kitchen.
With The Kitchen, Andrea Berloff makes her directorial debut for Warner Bros. and New Line. Berloff has previously found success penning screenplays for Straight Outta Compton and World Trade Center, but this is the first time she's stepped behind the camera, and what a project she's chosen to break in (and out) with.
It's hard to imagine how anyone could go wrong with this feature film, given the source material. The Kitchen is an incredible 2015 comic book series from Vertigo by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, with the story revolving around three mob wives - Kath, Raven, and Angie - who take over their imprisoned husbands' organized crime business back in the scorching '70s. It turns out they're really, really good at running rackets. Maybe too good.

Tiffany Haddish, Melissa McCarthy and Elisabeth Moss are married to the mob and fall into dangerous territory when they decide to take matters into their own hand in the first trailer for Warner Bros.’ “The Kitchen,” which debuted at CinemaCon on Tuesday.
In the trailer, the three women play wives of top New York gangsters, who continue to operate their husbands’ rackets after their men get locked up in prison.
“Just to be clear,” McCarthy says in the trailer. “Now, we run this neighborhood.”

Warner Bros. is cooking up a new release date for New Line Cinema’s forthcoming film The Kitchen starring Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss. The pic based on the Vertigo comic book series will open Aug. 9 rather than its previously announced release date of Sept. 20.
Last year, Deadline exclusively broke the story that McCarthy would be starring with Haddish in the movie directed and adapted by Andrea Berloff. The film marks Berloff’s directorial debut and is based on the DC/Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle which follows the lives of Irish mobsters who team up to take over running the business after their husbands are arrested and sent to prison.
The adaptation also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Margo Martindale, Bill Camp and Brian d’Arcy James. Michael De Luca is producing through his Michael De Luca Productions banner.

Melissa McCarthy, Tiffany Haddish, and Elisabeth Moss are three women you don't want to mess with in Warner Bros' The Kitchen.
Andrea Berloff's The Kitchen is one of our most highly anticipated films in 2019. Based on the phenomenal Vertigo comic book series by Ollie Masters and Ming Doyle, it's been pitched as a female Goodfellas, with the story revolving around three mob wives who take over their imprisoned husbands' organized crime business in the 1970s. Widows was so good, honestly. Keep these films coming, Hollywood.
To the official synopsis-mobile!
"The Kitchen stars Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids), Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) and Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale) as three 1978 Hell’s Kitchen housewives whose mobster husbands are sent to prison by the FBI. Left with little but a sharp ax to grind, the ladies take the Irish mafia’s matters into their own hands...

Last issue was an absolute stormer, helped in part by Alex Paknadel taking over as scripter from Ollie Masters. Masters obviously plotted out the entire arc, so kudos for that, but the devil in the detail last issue came from Paknadel who really energised the issue. Last issue also saw the two different storylines we have been following, Teja and Rama/Yuda in prison and Bejo’s turf war with rival boss Otomo, finally link up. A police informant told Bejo that a cop in prison (Teja) is talking to Bunawar, the anti-corruption task force, and that the trail will ultimately end up at the feet of Bejo. Not the most subtle of men, Bejo’s solution? Hammer Girl, Baseball Bat Man, and The Assassin make a house call.
Well, more a prison call, as that is where Teja is currently being held.

Last issue, in the common vernacular, it was all kicking off. Good guy, bad guy, didn’t matter, everyone was facing challenges all over the place. Special forces cop Rama, known undercover as Yuda, is still protecting Teja, the cop falsely imprisoned for trying to take down crime boss Bejo. Prison’s not the best place for a cop, obviously. Bejo, though, coming from lowly stock is looked at as something of an upstart among fellow crime bosses, and he has been provoked to his limits by Utomo, a more senior crime boss. Utomo is so busy burning down Bejo’s restaurant he hasn’t realised Bejo has an ace up his sleeve. Two aces, actually, in Hammer Girl and Baseball Bat Man. Things can only get uglier…
We start with a family feel to proceedings, but in a uniquely The Raid way.

I enjoyed the last issue, without loving it. Considering the two films worth of material that this book can pull from, the first issue felt surprisingly lightweight. What it did best was to replicate the style and feel of the films. Very violent, very visual, very fast panel cuts, and that all worked very well indeed. As the blurb told us last issue, this story takes place during the events of The Raid 2, so if you’ve seen that film characters and events may take on deeper meaning, but it’s still very readable as a stand-alone book in its own right.
So, in a nutshell, last issue saw our hero, Jakarta special forces officer Rama undercover in prison where he is trying to take down the criminal empire of big boss Bejo, who runs most of Jakarta.

Exclusive: It was a female director who gave the industry and Warner Bros the highest overall summer film last year with $412.5 million at the domestic box office and provided the studio the wind to sail past Disney as the first to win the $2 billion domestic box office race. Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman made the industry sit up and take notice when the Superhero origin film opened to $103.2M domestically and $228M internationally. It was one of only three films last year the studio released from female directors. The others were Denise Di Novi’s Unforgettable and Stella Meghie’s Everything, Everything (an MGM co-production). New Line had zero, but these numbers are changing, and for the better.
We’ve come a long way since Jeffrey Katzenberg entrusted a female director who had only previously worked in TV — Mimi Leder — to helm DreamWorks’ first live-action title, The Peacemaker. That sent tongues...

The words ‘cult hit’ are bandied around a lot these days, perhaps a bit too freely. Rather like the over use of the word ‘supermodel’, but don’t get me started on that… The Raid film, and subsequent pop culture love, actually passed me by back in 2011. Sure I had heard of it in passing, but never really thought enough of it to actually watch the film. It seems that was a mistake, if all the stuff I see all over the internet is anything to go by. So, while I am going to go and watch the films at some point, I am coming in to this review as a complete neutral, which may on balance actually be a good thing.
For fans of the films, you can skip most of this next paragraph. For newbie’s like me,...
