When you think about scrappy, micro-budget, guerrilla filmmaking of the ’90s, you think of Gregg Araki films. Shot on shoestring budgets with little more than his own two hands, Araki’s films were marked by a certain kind of radical punk rock aesthetic that mirrored the grunge era in music.
Described as a gay “Thelma and Louise,” he began the decade with “The Living End” (1992), a sexy road trip comedy about two young guys living with HIV. After making a splash at Sundance with that film, (and with the help of visionary longtime producer Marcus Hu), he churned out a trio of erotically charged teenage dirtbag films, dubbed his Teenage Apocalypse trilogy: “Totally Fucked Up” (1993), “The Doom Generation” (1995), and “Nowhere” (1997).
At the forefront of the New Queer Cinema, an enduring queerness ignites all of Araki’s films, though he certainly had fun toying with expectations. If every rebellious teenager wanted...

FX has a new comedy pilot in the works and they want Tracy Morgan to star. Today we can confirm Morgan has said yes. He’ll lead the cast of the single-camera comedy project entitled Death Pact. Yikes, that sounds ominous.
Morgan wasn’t in a scene he couldn’t steal during his long stint on fan favorite, 30 Rock, so I’m very eager to see if the FX project gets a full series order.
Death Pact comes from writer-creators Rob Long of Cheers and Tad Safran of The Long Weekend. Deadline reports the producers on board are Eric and Kim Tannenbaum.
Morgan stars as a “formerly lazy, pot-dealing assistant high school coach who returns to his hometown as a decorated war hero”. Sounds like he made good with his life, right? Well, his work isn’t done. When he realizes the sad state of his friends and former students alike,...

Cologne, Germany -- Despite fears of the coming economic apocalypse it was business as usual at the 2009 European Film Market, which wrapped up last week.
Attendance figures -- 6,300 compared with 6,443 last year -- defied the most dire predictions and while U.S. domestic deals were thin on the ground, international sales remained strong.
Graham King’s Gk Films had one of the few big U.S. deals out of Berlin, singing with Warner Bros. for North American rights on Martin Campbell’s Mel Gibson-starrer “Edge of Darkness.” Smaller domestic pick-ups included The Weinstein Company’s acquisition of Gilles Bourdos’ English-language debut “Afterwards” from Wild Bunch and Magnolia Pictures taking Thai action title “Ong Bak 2” from Sahamongkolfilm International for its Magnet Releasing genre label.
The bulk of the biz, however, was global. Fears the credit crunch would mash the international pre-sale business proved unfounded.
