Andrzej Bartkowiak got his start in the entertainment industry working as a cinematographer, working on such films as Terms of Endearment, Prizzi’s Honor, Twins, Falling Down, Speed, Species, Dante’s Peak, The Devil’s Advocate, U.S. Marshals, Lethal Weapon 4, Thirteen Days, and Trespass. But back at the turn of the century he also got into directing, working mainly in the action genre: Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, Maximum Impact, Dead Reckoning. His most well-known movie, for better or worse, may be the action horror video game adaptation Doom. Now Deadline has announced that Bartkowiak is treading back into horror territory, as he has signed on to direct the supernatural thriller The Dire Wolf.
Coming our way from Steelyard Pictures, The Dire Wolf has a screenplay written by Ry Cook and is expected to start filming in New Mexico soon, aiming for a 2024 release.

The director of films including Doom and Romeo Must Die, Andrzej Bartkowiak will next be directing a supernatural horror movie titled The Dire Wolf, Deadline reports today.
Steelyard Pictures is the company behind The Dire Wolf, releasing sometime next year.
Deadline details, “The film tells the story of Hank Whitmore, a sharp and stubborn New Mexican sheriff who aligns with the Navajo Nation when a series of supernatural events threatens his family, his town, and his way of life.”

Leone Marucci will produce. Marucci tells Deadline, “American cinema has long wrestled with our native culture’s spiritual connection to the natural world.

There's a lot going on in The Power of Few, the directorial debut from Leone Marucci. The movie features five different storylines which intersect, literally, at one New Orleans crossing, which is doused in violence and bloodshed. At the same time, the movie suggests that our fates aren't necessarily set, and that every person's actions have a ripple effect that can be felt across the world. Oh, also, there's the theft of an incalculably valuable religious icon, and a lot of big-name actors who show up in what is, essentially, a very small movie. Christopher Walken is a homeless man with a secret. Christian Slater is a secret agent trying to track a stolen package. Jessie Bradford is on the run from gangsters Juvenile and Anthony Anderson. Q'orianka Kilcher is the messenger who runs smack into all of it. Moon Bloodgood is a pregnant shopkeeper whose store ends up held...

Title: The Power of Few Director: Leone Marucci Starring: Jesse Bradford, Christopher Walken, Q’orianka Kilcher, Christian Slater, Nicky Whelan, Moon Bloodgood, Anthony Anderson, Juvenile, Devin Gearhart, Tione Johnson When Quentin Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” hit big in 1994, like an open-handed smack to the face of the film industry proper, its stylized noir plotting, fizzy mixture of violence and pop cultural dissection, and in particular its partite storytelling structure spawned a tsunami of imitators. Almost two decades later, that influence can still be felt, most recently in the form of writer-director Leone Marucci’s caffeinated, terminally bizarre “The Power of Few.” A New Orleans-set tapestral affair whose disparate storylines nominally coalesce over the course of one afternoon, this jumbled [ Read More ]

Written and directed by Leone Marucci, this picture follows six different points of view unfolding on one sunny New Orleans afternoon, spanning twenty minutes of time, where each segment eventually intersects in one climactic moment where criminals and a high profile religious based heist collide.
Living in squalor with his hopped up mom (Louise Linton, Lions For Lambs) and baby brother, Cory (Devon Gearhart, Funny Games) decides that he must acquire medicine for his ailing brother, and thus takes off on a mission to rob The Space Bar, an internet café/grocery store run by the pregnant Mala (Moon Bloodgood, Terminator Salvation). Mala has been arguing with husband Shane (Derek Richardson, Hostel) about his aspiring acting career. Meanwhile, undercover agents Clyde (Christian Slater, True Romance) and Marti (Nicky Whelan, Halloween II) are on the hunt for a suspect that may have recently stolen the Shroud of Turin from the Vatican,...

Meaningless Affect: Marucci’s Interactive Film Project a Dreadful Observation of Social Awareness
Moments into Leone Marucci’s incomprehensibly obnoxious new film, The Power of Few should have one pondering not only how some of the notable cast members signed onto the film but how this received funding in the first place. Assaulting the senses like a New Orleans set Crash (2005) meeting indefinably interconnected drek of something like Answers to Nothing (2011), this amateur circus of poorly conceived nonsense may have been borne out of good intentions, but only serves to reinforce the notion of what path they pave.

Q'orianka Kilcher made her mark at the tender age of 14 years old, when she was cast as Pocahontas in Terrence Malik's 2005 The New World. The daughter of a Quechua-Huachipaeri Peruvian has lent her celebrity to human rights and environmental causes through her own 'on-q Initiative/Action Hero Network' organization – you can count the time she chained herself to the gates of the White House covered in a mysterious liquid, causing a major security breach which then prompted hazmat crews to lock down the premises, forcing Peruvian president Alan Garcia to enter through a side service entrance during his visit, as one of her dopest moments. In 2006 she teamed up with writer/director Leone Marucci and produced The Power of Few under her newly formed iQ Films production company. The film, described as an “interactive” film, not only held worldwide online auditions for a role in the film (the role was filled by a non-professional actress from Malta), they posted all the raw footage from a particular scene in the film and invited filmmakers and fans to craft their own version of the scene and the winning edit is actually used in the film. Shooting the film in New Orleans also gave Kilcher and Marucci the idea to present opportunities to the homeless, underprivileged youth, senior citizens and aspiring artists, to fill paid positions and participate in the making of Power Of Few. And all this before she turns 23 years old.
LatinoBuzz: At what moment did you decide that acting was what you wanted to do?
Q'orianka: Actually I always wanted to be a singer and so, when I was 5 years old, I started acting classes so I could be a better performer. I wanted to have a powerful voice so I could be heard.
LatinoBuzz:You started at an early age in Hollywood, but instead of going the route of many starlets you chose to become politically active - for both environmental and indigenous rights - why did they become so important to you?
Q'orianka: I would like to start with saying that I don’t consider myself “politically active” at all… politics is the last thing which motivates or inspires me. I have always felt that politics (like religion) always divides us, so I always try the best I can to focus on the things which unite us as humanity, like our common need and right for clean water, air and soil - our equally deserved right to respect, freedom and dignity for all. I'm the farthest thing from politically active. The things I do, I do from the heart and out of love and respect for our planet and all living things. And I draw my courage from my love for justice and truth and I calm my fears by comforting those who are more scared than me. And I try to do my best to make the world a better place, one small action at a time as good as I can. But its getting harder and harder to just mind my business because at some point, silence is betrayal and we have to speak up and stand up to power and find the courage to defend justice, compassion and all the values we stand for. I'm really more just a dreamer with simple principles of respect, dignity and love passed down to me from my mom and my mentor. But I think humanity has been sleeping for way too long and it’s a good time for all of us to wake up and remember who we were meant to be.
LatinoBuzz: How did you come upon the script for 'The Power Of Few' and what about it made you want to produce it?
Q'orianka: I just had finished filming 'The New World' and was doing a lot of traveling to promote the film. It was an amazing chapter in my life, and I felt extremely blessed for having been given the opportunity to work with my most beloved director Terrence Malick, producer Sara Green and the amazing Emmanuel Lubezki, all while having experienced being “married” to Christian Bale and “kissed” by Colin Farrell all in one film! I knew I was extremely privileged and lucky for all the opportunities which suddenly had opened up for me, and while I really enjoyed all the jet setting all across the world, receiving awards, meeting new people and doing all sorts of interviews in connection with our film's Oscar campaign, the one thing which in the end really stuck with me most was the incredible power of mentorship that I received along the way. I would never be where I am if it would not be for Terry, Sara, Colin, my family and all the colleagues and friends whose actions and insights have inspired and guided me on my journey as an artist and human being. It was this spirit of mentorship which inspired me to dream big and envision a day when I could use filmmaking as a tool to pay forward the blessings I've had in my life. So when Leon approached me with a script entitled 'The Power Of Few', the title not only grabbed my attention but also inspired me to imagine “What if”? My vision was to create a filmmaking process which would lend itself as some sort of mentoring event to inspire, empower and engage creative young minds to connect, collaborate, create and participate in a truly groundbreaking interactive and inclusive way. I think it is important as artists to always find the courage to challenge the status quo, not only through our art, but through who we are as people. For me 'The Power of Few' was always more than a film; it was an opportunity and chance to break down the barriers of conventional filmmaking while creating a connection between a young, passionate global audience and Hollywood. As a young artist in this time of internet and technology, I feel that we are at an important tipping point where we have the opportunity to step up to the challenges of the future by empowering audiences to be more than just a consumer, inviting them to be collaborators and participate and hold stake in the future of our industry. Having the power to make a difference and change the world through art. This is what originally inspired me to be an actress and artist.
LatinoBuzz: Do you find that actors - especially actors of color - are finding the necessity to produce their own work now? To essentially create a career for themselves?
Q'orianka: Absolutely Yes! Why wait around? First of all, its fun to stay busy and creative and as we all know we don’t always get to to the kind of roles we might dream or feel inspired to play, due to the typical stereotyping of characters which is still noticeably present in this industry, so creating our own project not only empowers us to break that barrier but also hopefully helps us to slowly break down stereotypes. Period! Two, It allows us to show the world that in fact an actress of color can be absolutely believable playing, lets say a “regular girl next door” character because, in contrary to how these sorts of characters are usually portrayed in film, we are in fact that girl next door living in a modern multicultural and multiethnic society. Last but not least, I think it's most important to create our own projects in a means to empower our voices and tell our stories to the world in our own words and with truth. There is an amazing power to film. And as we look into the future we all have a great opportunity and responsibility to be media warriors for positive social change. Through our work and the power of film we can help give a voice to our communities, culture and living traditions and shed light on many of the relevant issues facing the communities and our world.
LatinoBuzz: If you could re-make a film and play the lead – what's the film?
Q'orianka: With so many amazing stories still waiting to be told, I think I would choose to skip the remake. Or maybe I would ask James Cameron to rewind time and cast me to play the role of Neytiri in 'Avatar' because I would have loved to have the powerful platform and public voice this highly successful film would have given me to speak out on behalf of my indigenous brothers and sisters around the world who are all struggling to protect some of the last pristine places on earth.
LatinoBuzz: You've actually played a few historical figures now. Is there a woman from history you admire?
Q'orianka: Wow, there are so many amazing woman in history I admire, so this could take a very long time. So to make it short, I will just highlight one who I had the honor to play: Princess Kai’ulani of Hawaii! Ka’iulani’s courage, compassion, diplomacy, grace and internal strength and dignity make her an amazing young role model, especially for young women. In her short years, Ka’iulani was a principled international diplomat, ahead of her time, who spoke out on behalf of her Peoples and nation. Princess Ka’iulani’s story does not only give us an insight into an important and often forgotten dark chapter of Hawaii’s history, but it also is a story of courage and hope and her life and plea for her people carries a message of absolute contemporary relevance in the context of the issues still faced by many of the 360 million indigenous peoples around the world who are struggling until this day for dignity, self determination and cultural survival. Being a young indigenous woman of descent and having spoken at the Un Declaration of Indigenous Peoples Rights in Washington DC myself at the age of 16, her story is very close to my heart.
LatinoBuzz: There was a lot of discussions on social media regarding 'Argo' and Ben Affleck's decision to cast himself in the lead role of CIA operative Antonio Mendez, which drew the ire of many who felt he has enough opportunities presented to him and he could have cast a Latino. Do you think we have to reach that point where enough is enough of 'white-washing' characters? I just think of what it could mean to a young kid in the Bronx, East La, South Side Chi', to see someone like themselves presented as a hero.
Q'orianka: Well this is an age old story, and a very tiring one which has caused much harm on how we have been portrayed in films over the years. I do think its important for our youth to have their very own role-models they really can relate to and yes, it's always a great day if a lead character, a hero or a significant role which is actually described in a particular ethnicity is actually played by a talented actor who is living proof that actors from this particular ethnicity are truly gifted, talented and superb actors. But I believe that in the name of our 'Art' we can all transform and morph into different characters. It is sad to think that many times it's not so much for the art, but for the money and funding such choices are made. Personally, I welcome the challenge to prove myself as a versatile actress and I welcome the few moments where I might be cast despite my ethnicity to play a character I love. So, it’s a bit of a two sided sword, because if we have ever wish for Hollywood to be “color blind”, our argument can be quickly turned against us the next time we do an excellent job but lose the part to a white girl with blue eyes, just because the writer had described her with such physicalities.
LatinoBuzz: Name four people you want to break bread with?
Q'orianka: Hahaha, break bread? Well I would love to share some of my home baked bread with Tom Hanks and see if he likes it. I would like that! And the other three slices I'd like to share with my dear friends Gina Rodriguez, Jesse Garcia and Anthony Chavez!
LatinoBuzz: When you wake up in the morning what the most important thing on your mind?
Q'orianka: Hahahah! Hmmmm “Oh no! I forgot to move my car for street cleaning!!!” Hahaha! No, no, I like to listen to different interviews on Ted, piece together my day and then dance around my kitchen to 80's music while making breakfast.
LatinoBuzz: What do you hope the youngsters take away from your foundation after putting cameras into their hands?
Q'Orianka: The power to have their voices heard and tell their own stories from their own perspectives.
LatinoBuzz:Five years from now, Q'orianka.....?
Q'orianka: Ah, you see I used to be a planner. I used to have all these plans and think “Ah, I have my whole life figured out”, but then I realized no matter how much I plan: life happens! So I find myself living day to day trying to do my best, embracing every moment as a learning opportunity and chance to get to know myself a little more. I love life's surprises and not knowing where the wind will take me. I would love to continue doing what I love to do, produce more films, create more art, sing more and travel the world. And to help create pilot projects and opportunities for youth in my community and around the world to find meaningful and fulfilling ways to connect, collaborate and create and follow their dreams. And perhaps who knows, maybe one day, if it's written in the stars for me, maybe I start a little family of my own. But who knows?! First, I need to meet that “Mr. Right”!
The Power of Few opens Feb 15th in select cities. For more information, please visit: http://thepoweroffew.com and you can follow Q'orianka on Twitter at @Qorianka

Q'orianka: I would like to start with saying that I don’t consider myself “politically active” at all… politics is the last thing which motivates or inspires me. I have always felt that politics (like religion) always divides us, so I always try the best I can to focus on the things which unite us as humanity, like our common need and right for clean water, air and soil - our equally deserved right to respect, freedom and dignity for all. I'm the farthest thing from politically active. The things I do, I do from the heart and out of love and respect for our planet and all living things. And I draw my courage from my love for justice and truth and I calm my fears by comforting those who are more scared than me. And I try to do my best to make the world a better place, one small action at a time as good as I can. But its getting harder and harder to just mind my business because at some point, silence is betrayal and we have to speak up and stand up to power and find the courage to defend justice, compassion and all the values we stand for. I'm really more just a dreamer with simple principles of respect, dignity and love passed down to me from my mom and my mentor. But I think humanity has been sleeping for way too long and it’s a good time for all of us to wake up and remember who we were meant to be.
LatinoBuzz: How did you come upon the script for 'The Power Of Few' and what about it made you want to produce it?
Q'orianka: I just had finished filming 'The New World' and was doing a lot of traveling to promote the film. It was an amazing chapter in my life, and I felt extremely blessed for having been given the opportunity to work with my most beloved director Terrence Malick, producer Sara Green and the amazing Emmanuel Lubezki, all while having experienced being “married” to Christian Bale and “kissed” by Colin Farrell all in one film! I knew I was extremely privileged and lucky for all the opportunities which suddenly had opened up for me, and while I really enjoyed all the jet setting all across the world, receiving awards, meeting new people and doing all sorts of interviews in connection with our film's Oscar campaign, the one thing which in the end really stuck with me most was the incredible power of mentorship that I received along the way. I would never be where I am if it would not be for Terry, Sara, Colin, my family and all the colleagues and friends whose actions and insights have inspired and guided me on my journey as an artist and human being. It was this spirit of mentorship which inspired me to dream big and envision a day when I could use filmmaking as a tool to pay forward the blessings I've had in my life. So when Leon approached me with a script entitled 'The Power Of Few', the title not only grabbed my attention but also inspired me to imagine “What if”? My vision was to create a filmmaking process which would lend itself as some sort of mentoring event to inspire, empower and engage creative young minds to connect, collaborate, create and participate in a truly groundbreaking interactive and inclusive way. I think it is important as artists to always find the courage to challenge the status quo, not only through our art, but through who we are as people. For me 'The Power of Few' was always more than a film; it was an opportunity and chance to break down the barriers of conventional filmmaking while creating a connection between a young, passionate global audience and Hollywood. As a young artist in this time of internet and technology, I feel that we are at an important tipping point where we have the opportunity to step up to the challenges of the future by empowering audiences to be more than just a consumer, inviting them to be collaborators and participate and hold stake in the future of our industry. Having the power to make a difference and change the world through art. This is what originally inspired me to be an actress and artist.
LatinoBuzz: Do you find that actors - especially actors of color - are finding the necessity to produce their own work now? To essentially create a career for themselves?
Q'orianka: Absolutely Yes! Why wait around? First of all, its fun to stay busy and creative and as we all know we don’t always get to to the kind of roles we might dream or feel inspired to play, due to the typical stereotyping of characters which is still noticeably present in this industry, so creating our own project not only empowers us to break that barrier but also hopefully helps us to slowly break down stereotypes. Period! Two, It allows us to show the world that in fact an actress of color can be absolutely believable playing, lets say a “regular girl next door” character because, in contrary to how these sorts of characters are usually portrayed in film, we are in fact that girl next door living in a modern multicultural and multiethnic society. Last but not least, I think it's most important to create our own projects in a means to empower our voices and tell our stories to the world in our own words and with truth. There is an amazing power to film. And as we look into the future we all have a great opportunity and responsibility to be media warriors for positive social change. Through our work and the power of film we can help give a voice to our communities, culture and living traditions and shed light on many of the relevant issues facing the communities and our world.
LatinoBuzz: If you could re-make a film and play the lead – what's the film?
Q'orianka: With so many amazing stories still waiting to be told, I think I would choose to skip the remake. Or maybe I would ask James Cameron to rewind time and cast me to play the role of Neytiri in 'Avatar' because I would have loved to have the powerful platform and public voice this highly successful film would have given me to speak out on behalf of my indigenous brothers and sisters around the world who are all struggling to protect some of the last pristine places on earth.
LatinoBuzz: You've actually played a few historical figures now. Is there a woman from history you admire?
Q'orianka: Wow, there are so many amazing woman in history I admire, so this could take a very long time. So to make it short, I will just highlight one who I had the honor to play: Princess Kai’ulani of Hawaii! Ka’iulani’s courage, compassion, diplomacy, grace and internal strength and dignity make her an amazing young role model, especially for young women. In her short years, Ka’iulani was a principled international diplomat, ahead of her time, who spoke out on behalf of her Peoples and nation. Princess Ka’iulani’s story does not only give us an insight into an important and often forgotten dark chapter of Hawaii’s history, but it also is a story of courage and hope and her life and plea for her people carries a message of absolute contemporary relevance in the context of the issues still faced by many of the 360 million indigenous peoples around the world who are struggling until this day for dignity, self determination and cultural survival. Being a young indigenous woman of descent and having spoken at the Un Declaration of Indigenous Peoples Rights in Washington DC myself at the age of 16, her story is very close to my heart.
LatinoBuzz: There was a lot of discussions on social media regarding 'Argo' and Ben Affleck's decision to cast himself in the lead role of CIA operative Antonio Mendez, which drew the ire of many who felt he has enough opportunities presented to him and he could have cast a Latino. Do you think we have to reach that point where enough is enough of 'white-washing' characters? I just think of what it could mean to a young kid in the Bronx, East La, South Side Chi', to see someone like themselves presented as a hero.
Q'orianka: Well this is an age old story, and a very tiring one which has caused much harm on how we have been portrayed in films over the years. I do think its important for our youth to have their very own role-models they really can relate to and yes, it's always a great day if a lead character, a hero or a significant role which is actually described in a particular ethnicity is actually played by a talented actor who is living proof that actors from this particular ethnicity are truly gifted, talented and superb actors. But I believe that in the name of our 'Art' we can all transform and morph into different characters. It is sad to think that many times it's not so much for the art, but for the money and funding such choices are made. Personally, I welcome the challenge to prove myself as a versatile actress and I welcome the few moments where I might be cast despite my ethnicity to play a character I love. So, it’s a bit of a two sided sword, because if we have ever wish for Hollywood to be “color blind”, our argument can be quickly turned against us the next time we do an excellent job but lose the part to a white girl with blue eyes, just because the writer had described her with such physicalities.
LatinoBuzz: Name four people you want to break bread with?
Q'orianka: Hahaha, break bread? Well I would love to share some of my home baked bread with Tom Hanks and see if he likes it. I would like that! And the other three slices I'd like to share with my dear friends Gina Rodriguez, Jesse Garcia and Anthony Chavez!
LatinoBuzz: When you wake up in the morning what the most important thing on your mind?
Q'orianka: Hahahah! Hmmmm “Oh no! I forgot to move my car for street cleaning!!!” Hahaha! No, no, I like to listen to different interviews on Ted, piece together my day and then dance around my kitchen to 80's music while making breakfast.
LatinoBuzz: What do you hope the youngsters take away from your foundation after putting cameras into their hands?
Q'Orianka: The power to have their voices heard and tell their own stories from their own perspectives.
LatinoBuzz:Five years from now, Q'orianka.....?
Q'orianka: Ah, you see I used to be a planner. I used to have all these plans and think “Ah, I have my whole life figured out”, but then I realized no matter how much I plan: life happens! So I find myself living day to day trying to do my best, embracing every moment as a learning opportunity and chance to get to know myself a little more. I love life's surprises and not knowing where the wind will take me. I would love to continue doing what I love to do, produce more films, create more art, sing more and travel the world. And to help create pilot projects and opportunities for youth in my community and around the world to find meaningful and fulfilling ways to connect, collaborate and create and follow their dreams. And perhaps who knows, maybe one day, if it's written in the stars for me, maybe I start a little family of my own. But who knows?! First, I need to meet that “Mr. Right”!
The Power of Few opens Feb 15th in select cities. For more information, please visit: http://thepoweroffew.com and you can follow Q'orianka on Twitter at @Qorianka

I’d never heard of that movie before, either, but The Power of Few has my full attention. The trailer has been going around the net these past few days featuring Hollywood’s favorite grandpa Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Anthony Anderson, Moon Bloodgood, Q’orianka Kilcher, and Jesse Bradford.
An interconnected crime story comes from the first time writer/director Leone Marucci. The some sort of multi-perspective crime caper doesn’t seem to have a release date in the Us at this point.
The film was reportedly shot in New Orleans, where an outreach strategy created opportunities for young locals, homeless people and senior citizens to join the cast and the crew. The producers of The Power of Few collaborated with associations like Volunteers of America and The Covenant House of New Orleans to hire local veterans and homeless people, young and old, to be part of their cast and crew.

I'm not sure what in the hell is going on in this trailer for The Power of Few, but one thing I do know is that Christopher Walken wants to clone Jesus. This is such a crazy weird trailer, and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a drama or a comedy, or what, but it's some kind of crime thriller.
Synopsis:
Spies, cops, holy fools and well-armed children cross paths on a day of danger, mystery and possible transformation. "The Power of Few" unfolds through the lives of five unusual characters who unknowingly are connected to an extraordinary smuggling operation on a day when religious conspiracy and urban crime collide.
This doesn't even seem like a movie! But, it is, and it was directed by Leone Marucci. It also has an impressive cast of actors that includes Christian Slater, Anthony Anderson, Jesse Bradford, Q'orianka Kilcher, Moon Bloodgood, Nicky Whelan,...

I don't know about you, but I love movies that are weird and unpredictable. You never get a good idea of what it's exactly supposed to be. It zags when you expect it to zig. And that seems to be the case for the new indie featuire called The Power of Few, written and directed by Leone Marucci, who only has a small list of credits, including two previous shorts, to his name. The interesting thing about the film, which stars an eclectic group of names (Anthony Anderson, Christopher Walken, Jesse Bradford, Q'orianka Kitcher - who some of you might remember as Pocahantas in Terrance Malick's The New World, who also produced Power of Few) Christian...

It's only 11 days into 2013, and we already have a candidate for one of the most bizarre movie-related things you'll see all year. JoBlo (via Slashfilm) has uncovered an absolutely batsh*t trailer for a crowdsourced movie called The Power of Few, an interconnected crime story starring a scraggly-haired Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Moon Bloodgood, and Anthony Anderson. It comes from first time writer/director Leone Marucci, but online voters apparently chose important things like costumes and character decisions, and the result is jaw-droppingly bad. Prepare to be dazed and confused. Watch below! Here's the first trailer for Leone Marucci's The Power of Few, in high def from Apple: Spies, cops, holy fools and well-armed children cross paths on a day of danger, mystery and possible transformation. The Power of Few unfolds over twenty minutes on one New Orleans afternoon, experienced through the lives of five unusual characters who unknowingly...

Here’s a rather interesting take on audience participation in film-making…. The filmmakers in charge of new movie, Power of Few starring Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Q’orianka Kilcher and Jesse Bradford have decided that they want members of the public to edit a scene, in this case scene 64 and use the best edit as part of the movie. I’ve got an official press release below which explains in further detail but in a nutshell, you cut together a scene with pre-short footage, add music from the selection provided and the edit judged to be the best by director, Leone Marucci will end up in the final cut of the film. I’ve also placed a video below which explains in further detail the premise of the project which sounds great to get involved in.

That's right, the True Romance stars have reunited for a new indie thriller with an apocalyptic twist and we've tracked down the first poster and stills from the film.
International terrorism collides with urban crime in this story told from multiple perspectives. Writen and directed by Leone Marucci (who, by the way, was a production assistant on the Six String Samurai), The Power of Few sounds like a strange one worth checking out.
Synopsis:
Alexa (Q'orianka Kilcher) is a courier who dreams of escaping her run down town and heading West to start a new life. Those plans will take a dramatic turn when she agrees to transport a package that has the attention of powerful competing forces.

The last time these two shared screen credits was in the Tarantino-scripted, Tony Scott-directed masterpiece that is True Romance.
Soon we’ll get to see Christopher Walken and Christian Slater together again as they join forces in “The Power of Few” for Arclight Films. The film will also feature Q’orianka Kilcher (Terrence Malick’s The New World) as a woman who in agreeing to transport a mystery package gets caught up in a globe-spanning plot that could (ominous low-pitched voice) “threaten the whole world”.
We don’t know yet the identity of the characters that Walken and Slater will play, though I would hazard a guess that Walken will play the villain. Anthony Anderson (K-Ville, Transformers) and Franke Potente (Run, Lola, Run and The Bourne Identity) are also on board. Leone Marucci will direct from his own script.
Shooting is due to kick off in New Orleans later this month.
