Vince Vaughn is reteaming with Dragged Across Concrete and Brawl In Cell Block 99 director S. Craig Zahler on new gangster thriller The Bookie & the Bruiser. The film will also star Clean and Asteroid City actor Adrien Brody as production slates a late 2024 start date. The Bookie & the Bruiser has Zahler directing from his script which is set in 1959 New York City. The story centers on “a pensive, Jewish fellow named Rivner and an oversized Italian-American tough named Boscolo from the Lower East Side, both of whom served overseas in World War II and returned changed men who no longer fit inside the lives they’d left behind.” The logline adds, “Uninterested in taking orders from bosses or playing by the rules of polite society, the two friends partner up as a bookmaker and an enforcer and create an illicit gambling operation that proves to be very […]
How do you celebrate Friday the 13th? I love to watch scary movies and no, not just the Jason series, although I did spend a Friday the 13th introducing one of my nephews to Jason. Anyway, Blumhouse and Universal Pictures are releasing a new film this November with Freaky – formerly titled Body Swap and directed by Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, the Paranormal Activity franchise), and fittingly, it’s about another ‘Friday’ you may be familiar with (Landon reportedly did take inspiration from author Mary Rodgers… Hint-Hint?). Before I say anything else, the trailer is above and here are the deets below as well: Seventeen-year-old Millie Kessler (Kathryn Newton, Blockers, HBO’s Big Little Lies) is just trying to survive the bloodthirsty halls of Blissfield High and the cruelty of the popular crowd. But when she becomes the newest target of The Butcher (Vince Vaughn), her town’s infamous serial killer, her […]
Writer and director Clark Duke’s new movie and screen-acting credit, Arkansas, won’t be bowing before SXSW audiences as initially planned. Lionsgate has its own plans though, with an official trailer now running, and a limited theatrical, VOD, Apple TV+ and Amazon release date set for May 1, followed by a Blu-Ray and DVD rollout on May 5. In Clark Duke’s directorial debut, Kyle (Liam Hemsworth) and Swin (Clark Duke) live by the orders of an Arkansas-based drug kingpin named Frog (Vince Vaughn), whom they’ve never met. Posing as junior park rangers by day, they operate as low-level drug couriers by night under the watchful eye of Frog’s proxies (John Malkovich and Vivica A. Fox). Swin then settles into his day job by taking up a relationship with Johnna (Eden Brolin) against orders to blend in while Kyle continues to question his night job by trying to figure out who Frog […]
Director S. Craig Zahler is exactly the kind of director you’re looking for if you want a film that leaves a lasting impact. Last year’s head-stomping hit with Brawl In Cell Block 99 proved to be an entertainingly violent allegory on redemption from the Bone Tomahawk director and apart from any of the reviews stemming from its screening last year at Venice, his newest entry, Dragged Across Concrete, seemingly teases something that could almost be just as brutal and chilling, and just as soulful by way of its soundtrack. DRAGGED ACROSS CONCRETE follows two police detectives who find themselves suspended when a video of their strong-arm tactics is leaked to the media. With little money and no options, the embittered policemen descend into the criminal underworld and find more than they wanted waiting in the shadows. Summit Entertainment presents, a Unified Pictures production, a Cinestate production, in association with Look […]
There’s no question as to whether or not 2018 has been a great year for Dwayne Johnson even as we’ve only come halfway. This Friday will see the release of his next big adventure, Rampage, with the actor readying to dominate the summer with high-rise inferno thriller, Skyscraper. Keep these two in mind while taking a gander at the newest teaser trailer for Emmy, BAFTA and Golden Globe award winner, Logan co-star Stephen Merchant’s own sophomore directing effort, Fighting With My Family. A new clip arrived online sometime early Tuesday morning prior to MGM officially releasing it later in the evening on their channel.

S. Craig Zahler, the director of the award-winning Western horror thriller, Bone Tomahawk was previously attached to direct MadRiver Pictures’s Breaking The Empire State back in January. If you’ve been tracking that project, then it looks like that one will have to wait a bit longer with news on a new action thriller set to go into production later this year. For this, we turn to actor Vince Vaughn whose recent stint in director Peter Billingsley’s father/daughter crime pic, Term Life opens in select theaters on April 29. The actor, most prominently known for comedy roles in films such as Wedding Crashers and The Watch will now continue his foray into action with Zahler’s own script in Brawl In Cell Block 99; Vaughn will star as a down-and-out former boxer and flailing auto mechanic whose last ditch effort to make some money at the behest of an old buddy and […]
Focus World is bringing into focus, writerAndy Lieberman’s latest script now erected in helmer Peter Billingsley’s father daughter crime actioner, Term Life. The film arrives on March 1 via VoD and Digital HD with a theatrical opening on April 8, and with it, an exceptional cast of well-knowns led by Vince Vaughn and actrees Haile Steinfeld who you would almost swear was in a similar predicament in a McG pic once upon a time. Hm. SYNOPSIS: Everyone wants Nick (Vince Vaughn) dead. A desperate man, Nick takes out a life insurance policy on himself, payable to his estranged daughter (Hailee Steinfeld). But the policy doesn’t take effect for 21 days and he might not live that long. I wasn’t kidding about the cast either, bearing in mind names like Jon Favreau, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard and comedian Mike Epps along with Bill Paxton and seething Bad Boys 2 villain, […]
