The Boat That Rocked is Rocked Some More

Universal haven't abandoned ship on Richard Curtis' sophomore feature, instead they're getting James Schamus and Focus Features to tugboat The Boat That Rocked for a more strategic North American release.

Trailer: Emmanuel Mouret’s Fais-moi plaisir!

What I'm seeing in the trailer for Emmanuel Mouret's Fais-moi plaisir! is pure Blake Edwards' The Party. His last two films, Change of Address and Shall We Kiss?, were released to art-house U.S. audiences, and this hybrid of comedy of manners/comedy of errors might also be headed the same way.

Magnet Moves into Ti West’s ‘House of the Devil’

Horror helmer Ti West has finally bedded a distribution deal from none other than Magnet Releasing. Currently in post prod with Cabin Fever 2: Spring Fever, West had the opportunity to present The House of the Devil in Tribeca this year.

Lars von Trier's Antichrist will be receiving an October 21st (VOD) and 23rd release (New York & L.A) via IFC.
