In a funny yet poignant film, Michael Fassbender's turn as cult character Frank Sidebottom proves liberating rather than limiting
If you've ever wondered what would happen if you transplanted the method of Captain Beefheart and the madness of Daniel Johnston into the gigantic papier-mache head of Frank Sidebottom (and frankly, who hasn't?) then this surreally comic – and yet poignant – oddity has the answers. Investing the frame of Chris Sievey's madcap creation with the tortured soul of avant garde rock, Frank manages to get beneath the mask and the skin of its eponymous antihero in a manner that bridges the gap between absurdist laughter and all-too-tender tears. The result is something weird, wonderful, and utterly unique – a cracked classic which takes its place alongside the Barbie-doll animation Superstar and the conjoined twins mockumentary Brothers of the Head in the pantheon of genuinely unexpected pop movies.

Elijah Wood – who’s had his share of genre dippings with Lord of the Rings, Sin City, and the upcoming Maniac remake – will take his love of horror to the next level by heading up an indie film company called The Woodshed.
The Woodshed will produce mainly low-budget genre flicks – those under the umbrella of horror/fantasy/sci-fi.
Elijah Wood is starting the company with Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller.
Wood speaks about his newest (and riskiest) endeavor:
“I’ve been a fan of horror and genre cinema in general since I was a child and have become increasingly passionate about the idea of there being a space in which horror films that take their subject matter and characters seriously could be produced. What was born out of a conversation of our mutual love for the genre and what we felt was lacking in a broad sense, especially from the U.

It has been announced that Elijah Wood, Daniel Noah, Josh C. Waller have formed The Woodshed, a company that will focus on new horror productions. According to Deadline, they already have a slate of horror films in the works that include:
-Curse The Darkness, a socio-political zombie film scripted by Brandon Maurice Williams to shoot in February in Florida in partnership with Cinipix Films. Building on the research of anthropologist Wade Davis, the film takes a grounded approach to Haitian zombie practices to tackle immigration issues. Lawrence Inglee is also a co-producer.
-Henley, a feature transfer of the 2012 Sundance short written by Clay McLeod Chapman and Craig Macneill. Macneill will direct and Noah Greenberg is producer as well as cinematographer. The film is described as an intimate portrait of a 9-year-old sociopath as he first discovers his taste for killing.

Every since we saw Elijah Wood in Sin City, we knew this cat had a love of horror films in him, and the very good news is that he's taken said love to an entirely new level with his new shingle, The Woodshed.
Deadline reports that Wood has partnered with Daniel Noah and Josh C. Waller to form The Woodshed, an indie company that will focus on genre fare. Not surprisingly, Wood is a horror fanatic. “I’ve been a fan of horror and genre cinema in general since I was a child and have become increasingly passionate about the idea of there being a space in which horror films that take their subject matter and characters seriously could be produced,” he said. “What was born out of a conversation of our mutual love for the genre and what we felt was lacking in a broad sense, especially from the U.

Luke Treadaway stars in Thirteen Steps Down, a gripping psychological thriller based on the novel by Ruth Rendell, coming to ITV on Monday 13th August.
The two-part drama centres on a young Notting Hill mechanic Mix Cellini (Treadaway) who is fixated by both a local model Nerissa Nash (Elarica Gallagher) and a long-dead serial killer, John Reginald Christie, the real-life petty criminal who murdered eight women in Notting Hill between 1943 and 1953.
27 year old Luke (represented in the UK by Hamilton Hodell) already has an impressive CV of film and TV roles. He was nominated for a British Independent Film Award as most promising newcomer for his role as Barry Howe in the 2005 film Brothers of the Head. He made his first television appearance the following year as Adam Solomons in eight episodes of The Innocence Project. Other roles have included Theo in the TV movie Clapham Junction, Eddie in ten...

Not many films are set at music festivals. D.A. Pennebaker’s documentary, “Monterey Pop” is vital, we’ll grant you, and other rock docs that expose something fundamental about the artists they’re profiling (“Don’t Look Back,” “Gimme Shelter”) remain compelling portraits of some of the most important artists of the twentieth-century. But, much like stand-up comedy or running for high office, fictional recreations of what compels a human being to get up onstage in front of thousands of people and expose themselves to the public at large, are far and few between.
With this in mind we turn to “You Instead,” which is director David Mackenzie’s seventh feature film, not that you’d known it from anything on display here. It has all the manufactured, forcible ‘fun’ of a T-Mobile flash-mob advert although it attempts to weave a spontaneous star-cross’d romance out of a happenstance meeting...

Kristen Stewart, On the Road movie Kristen Stewart looks quite beautiful in this On the Road photo, posted earlier today on the film's website. Best known for playing Bella Swan in the Twilight movies, Stewart has appeared in several independent productions, most notably a supporting role in Sean Penn's Into the Wild (which led to her being cast in On the Road), and leads in Greg Mottola's well-received Adventureland, opposite Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Eisenberg; Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways, as singer Joan Jett next to Dakota Fanning's Cherie Currie; and as a pole dancer/sex worker in Jake Scott's little-seen Welcome to the Rileys, with James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo. Directed by Walter Salles, and adapted by José Rivera from Jack Kerouac's classic novel, On the Road will probably be screened at the Cannes Film Festival in May. Stewart's co-stars are Tron: Legacy / Inside Llewyn Davis...

Tom Sturridge as Carlo Marx: On the Road poster Tom Sturridge (Effie / Waiting for Forever / Brothers of the Head) is seen above in the latest On the Road "character" poster. In director Walter Salles and screenwriter José Rivera's film version of Jack Kerouac's iconic novel, Sturridge plays the character Carlo Marx, which sounds a lot like Harpo Marx, but who's actually Kerouac's portrait of writer-poet Allen Ginsberg. [Watch the On the Road trailer.] Two years ago, James Franco played Ginsberg in Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman's Howl. Next, Daniel Radcliffe will be playing Ginsberg in John Krokidas' Kill Your Darlings (2013), co-starring Elizabeth Olsen, Michael C. Hall, and Ben Foster as William S. Burroughs (played by Viggo Mortensen, as Old Bull Lee, in On the Road).

I’m going to start by boldly/naively stating that I am not as big a fan of horror as I could be or indeed as many of you are likely to be. Yet I do have faith in the genre, I believe it to have the possibility and potential to make classic cinema, the obvious likes of Alien and The Shining are fine examples of that. As horror continues on into the 21st century there are one or two pieces of cinematic gold for every dozen appalling slasher sequels, monster mash-ups and vampire flicks.
Below is a list of 10 filmmakers, writers and actors who I guestimate could be crucial to the future of horror. So here it goes, a horror rookie looking into the possible future crystal ball of the genre with some very safe predictions (filmmakers that have already proven their craft) and a few more riskier suggestions.

Emelia (Jessica Brown Findlay) has something of a gift for effrontery. She is not scared to say what is on her mind. She doesn’t suffer fools gladly, nor miss an opportunity to shock a stuffy, boring adult. Her surname is Conan Doyle, and she introduces herself as the great-great-granddaughter of Arthur Conan Doyle. Like him, she wants to be a writer. She comes into the life of Beth (Felicity Jones) when Beth’s parents hire her as a cleaner for their Bed & Breakfast. Beth is well-educated, polite, and well-behaved. The girls are both 17; of the two, Beth is the one who has never drank, or had sex.

Everything about You Instead feels genuine apart from the characters and the plot. It is a romantic comedy filmed at 2010’s T in the Park Festival in Scotland, with real bands and real festival-goers buzzing around the periphery of the plot. This is a rather good idea for a movie, as it gives a rich and fascinating backdrop to the story. It’s made on what is obviously a very small budget; presumably it had to be shot fast and around the time schedule of the festival, meaning that they’d have to take, for a start, whatever weather they were hit with.
Unfortunately, the story writer Thomas Leveritt (a young, award-winning novelist) and director David Mackenzie (Young Adam, Hallam Foe) have saddled this ‘realist’ backdrop with about as dull and conventional a romantic-comedy plot as it’s possible to conceive. Given that the main artistic...

Luke Treadaway, 26, is the star of You Instead, a new rock'n'roll romcom about two feuding pop stars handcuffed together by accident for 24 hours at a music festival. Treadaway made his screen debut in 2005 in Brothers of the Head, in which he plays the singer of a band, conjoined to his real-life twin brother, Harry, so being attached to his co-star is not a new experience.

You Instead is a film shot guerrilla-style over five days during Scotland's leading music festival T in the Park in 2010. It is directed by David Mackenzie (Perfect Sense, Young Adam, Hallam Foe, Spread), and stars Luke Treadaway (Attack The Block, Clash Of The Titans, Brothers Of The Head), Natalia Tena (Harry Potter),Mathew Baynton (Peep Show), Ruta Gedmintas (Lip Service), Sophie Wu (Kick Ass), Gavin Mitchell (Still Game) and Alastair Mackenzie (Perfect Sense). Arriving at T in the Park for his gig, strutting indie star Adam is handcuffed to punky girl-band leader Morello. Initial frustration gives away to grudging acceptance and then the stirring of genuine feelings over the next 24 hours of the festival. Embedded below is the trailer....

Two more movies today and two more thumbs up: one for Albatross, which I review in full, and another for the Norwegian King of Devil’s Island. An unusual double bill, to be sure, but it matters not; you don’t generally need to be in a certain mood to watch a good movie, it’s supposed to put you in that mood.
Albatross is a British coming-of-age comic drama about two girls with very different outlooks and backgrounds, who come together and bring something out of one another. It was a surprise: a very sweet, funny movie with wonderful central performances. There was nothing particularly new or innovative about the story, but it still comes highly recommended. It is the first movie from director Niall MacCormick and writer Tamzin Rafn, who are clearly talents to keep an eye out for.

Luke Treadaway could be about to eclipse his twin brother Harry – thanks to his role as a plummy stoner in space invasion movie Attack the Block
Does Luke Treadaway have attachment issues? In his first film, he spent the summer strapped to his identical twin, Harry: they were playing conjoined twins and proto-punk rockers in the disturbingly brilliant Brothers of the Head (2006). Later this summer, he will appear handcuffed to a rival rock star in David Mackenzie's You Instead. This week sees the opening of Joe Cornish's eagerly awaited Attack the Block, in which Treadaway plays a plummy stoner whose attachment to weed brings him in close contact with the "big alien gorilla wolf monsters" rampaging through a south London estate.
Off screen, of course, there is the press interest in his relationship with his acting twin, Harry. Both were inspired by their drama teacher while growing up...

This week sees the opening of Joe Cornish's eagerly awaited Attack the Block, in which Treadaway plays a plummy stoner whose attachment to weed brings him in close contact with the "big alien gorilla wolf monsters" rampaging through a south London estate.
Off screen, of course, there is the press interest in his relationship with his acting twin, Harry. Both were inspired by their drama teacher while growing up...

Screen Daily reports that young thesps Luke Treadaway (broke out with Brothers of the Head and we'll see him in Attack the Block next year) and Felicity Jones (Chéri and The Tempest and will next be seen in Drake Doremus's Like Crazy and Hysteria) will topline Donald Rice's directorial debut film, Cheerful Weather For The Wedding. Produced by Yellow Knife's Teun Hilte (Paul Verhoeven's Black Book), filming is currently underway and the cast also includes actors Mackenzie Crook and Elizabeth McGovern. Gist: Mary Henely Magill and Rice co-wrote the project which is based on a 1932 novella by Julia Strachey and tells the story of a brisk March day in England, during which Dolly (Jones) is due to marry the Honourable Owen Bigham. Waylaid by the disheartened admirer who failed to win her over while he still could, a distant and detached mother, and her own sense of foreboding,...

Photo: IFC Films IFC Films has apparently picked up Philip Ridley's Heartless, a long-gestating psychological thriller starring Jim Sturgess (21), Clemence Poesy (127 Hours, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), Noel Clarke (Centurion), Timothy Spall (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince), Eddie Marsan (The Disappearance of Alice Creed) and Luke Treadaway (Brothers of the Head). The film is described as part Donnie Darko and part Guillermo del Toro and recently won the Best Independent Film Award at the Toronto After Dark Festival. I don't know if it lives up to any of that chatter and acclaim, but it doesn't look half bad.
IFC will release the film in New York theaters on November 19 and on demand on November 24 and I have the new trailer and a election of eight new images to share with you from the film.

Acting students, if they're lucky, find classes that are satisfying, challenging, and fully worth the time and money. But once in a while, they wind up in a class that rises above and beyond mere satisfaction. Something about the rapport between instructor and students—and among students themselves—clicks perfectly. Everyone ends up making sweet, surprising artistic leaps forward.When you find a class like that, it's only natural to want to keep the magic going. Actors sometimes decide to take the play they've been exploring in their scene study class, secure a theater, and put the whole thing up for an audience. Usually those plans fall apart pretty quickly. A week after the last class meeting, everyone has moved on to the next endeavor. But Back Stage found actors who didn't lose the momentum—who managed to collaborate with fellow students to create fully realized productions. These performers generously...

This week, John Carvill steals himself through the sobs and reminds us of the best cinematic separations
"Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs," sang Paul McCartney. Others do something similiar with movies: from the silents to 3D, the arthouse to the multiplex, romance sells. Why? Well, to give and receive love is an innate human need: once we've sorted those bare necessities such as food and shelter, love is next on the agenda.
Romcoms may be hugely popular, but that name is misleading – in real life, relationships are seldom funny. Love can be hard work, and it can hurt. As a sagacious stranger warns Woody Allen in Annie Hall, love can fade. Love can die. Make love, not war – or so they say – but what about when love becomes war, what about when it kills? That's why breakup scenes are so powerful. They're the romantic equivalent...

“Yorkshire Noir. Dickens on bad acid.” -- Tony Grisoni on Red Riding. Tony Grisoni did it. Wrote the whole lot. All 278 minutes of the Red Riding Trilogy, which was adapted from David Peace’s noir epics. Dread Central recently sat down with him to get the scoop on the details, the process, Poe, and even Terry Gilliam.
What we present now are only the facts — under the grim light of day. They say it’s a nightmare town out there, filled with corruption and woe. I’d say beware of wolves and stick to the path.
Heather Buckley: What is the origin of the title Red Riding?
Tony Grisoni: For administrative purposes, the English county of Yorkshire is divided into three; one of these is known as West Riding. So the title Red Riding plays off these historic boundaries. But, of course, there’s also the allusion to the...

Mackenzie Crook, Peter Capaldi and Richard Eyre inject credibility into Sky's season of dialogue-free short films
'Tis the season to be merry; it's also clearly the season for celebrity-studded short-film portmanteau seasons. Sky1 has come up with a Christmas-themed collection of 11 films lasting 10 minutes, all dialogue-free, that is unabashedly heartwarming, but also manages to inject a surprising amount of cinematic credibility into proceedings.
This sort of thing is normally a refuge for TV names taking a moment off from the day job and attempting to "stretch", or giving a shot in the director's chair for some actor or other – and the likes of Ross Kemp, Liza Tarbuck, Paterson Joseph and Peter Capaldi are all present and correct.
But there are some very odd participants floating about in Ten Minute Tales, people who I'd have thought would never have gone near a seasonal schmaltz-fest. For one, graphic novel maestro Neil Gaiman,...

Over at Hacking Netflix, Peter Nelhaus started a lively discussion about how long Netflix subscribers should get to keep DVDs without penalty. Peter feels that Netflix needs to establish some limits -- after you've hung on to a disc for, say, two months, you should be charged the purchase price for the DVD. His problem is that Netflix just doesn't have large quantities of more obscure foreign/indie titles, and if I'm procrastinating on watching one of those "smaller" titles, the rest of you are waiting on me. The two pages of comments offer a range of suggestions: Netflix sending a "nudge" email to subscribers every month, waiting until six months to charge a fee for holding a DVD, or simply buying more copies of that title.
The thread prompted me to look at our own Netflix account. It's not pretty. We've had one DVD for a month, and the...

Bunny And The Bull is a comedy road movie set entirely in a flat. Stephen Turnbull hasn’t been outside in months and when he finds his mind hurtling back to the disastrous trek he took around Europe with his friend Bunny, a catalogue of adventures unfold. Starring Edward Hogg (Brothers Of The Head ) and Simon Farnaby (‘The Mighty Boosh’, ‘Jam & Jerusalem’), Bunny And The Bull promises to be a touching journey to the end of the room.

Newcomers and Major Mainstays. The top 40 list include newcomers like Rupert Grint, Luke and Harry Treadaway, Josh Peck, Tom Payne and Rory Culkin. One of them has yet to do his first full-length movie- Colin Morgan. Major mainstays are Ryan Donowho, Jesse Eisenberg and Tom Sturridge. Definitely, these three can act and play the lead roles. It just so happens that the kind of challenging and interesting roles are not yet within their grasps...
