United Artists Releasing opens Flag Day, directed and starring Sean Penn, in a uneven specialty market where the Delta Variant spike has theaters in key cities requiring proof of vaccination, theaters are hard to book, and hits have been rare since the industry reopened.
Eventually “We’ll crack the code, because good movie and good stories win out.” said Erik Lomis, President, Distribution at Uar. Older demos — the meat-and-potatoes of arthouse — “are less comfortable coming back than we all hoped. It’s a tough, tough market to crack… but there’s nothing like seeing it in a movie theater.”
The film from MGM Studios premiered at Cannes and debuts in 24 theaters in 10 markets. It expands next weekend to 24 markets and 50 theaters. “We’ll continue to roll out like that until we really step on the gas depending upon market conditions,...

“My Father’s Daughter” is a tender ballad led by heavy piano and Vedder’s delicate vocal performance as she sings of potent familial bonds: “They asked if I had seen you/But I’ve got no truck with men/Like them, they can go to hell/I am my father’s daughter/Come hell or high water.” The song also...

Sean Penn’s upcoming film “Flag Day” has released its first trailer, featuring Penn and his children, Dylan Frances Penn and Hopper Jack Penn, as the dysfunctional Vogel family.
Sean Penn serves as both star and director for the movie, which is based on Jenifer Vogel’s 2004 memoir recounting her fractured relationship with her father, criminal and con-man John Vogel. The film stays true to the memoir, offering up the troubled relationship between John (Sean Penn), a grandiose deadbeat-narcissist, and Jennifer (Dylan Frances Penn), an aspiring journalist. Katheryn Winnick plays John’s wife, Patty, and Hopper Jack Penn portrays their adrift son, Nick. “Flag Day” marks Dylan Frances Penn’s debut leading role.
The trailer shows that though John has a demented way of parenting — and mess up his relationships again and again — he truly loves his children. So in order to prove to his daughter that she can rely on him,...

“Flag Day,” a new drama from Sean Penn, has sold North American rights to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer weeks before it is scheduled to have its global debut at the Cannes Film Festival.
The film was directed by Penn, with the Oscar-winner starring alongside his daughter, Dylan Penn. It’s an adaptation of Jennifer Vogel’s acclaimed memoir “Flim-Flam Man: The True Story of My Father’s Counterfeit Life,” and recounts the author’s difficult relationship with her con-man father, John Vogel. Frequently operating on the wrong side of the law, John Vogel torched buildings, robbed banks, and counterfeited more than $20 million. But he could also be a charming and caring father, complicating his ties with his daughter.
Penn’s directorial debut, “The Indian Runner,” had its world premiere at Cannes in 1991. His acting credits include “Mystic River,” “Dead Man Walking,” and “Milk.” Penn also directed “The Crossing Guard” and “Into the Wild.

The book tells the story of a daughter that has to come to terms with her perceptions of her criminal father,...

As the Timeless series finale neared its end and the Time Team scored its biggest win yet, captured nemesis Emma dangled one last tease before Lucy: the prospect of getting back the sister who vanished from the timeline at the close of the Season 1 premiere.
“Wait — I can bring Amy back.”
“She’s lying,” Lucy (played by Abigail Spencer) scoffed.
“Try me,” Emma (Annie Wersching) countered. “I only [removed Amy from existence] because your mother ordered me to. But I can undo it. It means nothing to me and everything to you….”
“I want all of this to be over.”
“And you want your sister back.

SXSW 2017‘The Archer’ Delivers Thrills, Social Commentary, and a Dash of ExploitationImagine a fictional and highly entertaining remake of the documentary ‘Kids for Cash.’
The Hunger Games franchise may be over, but those of us who enjoy watching young women send pointy missiles of death towards evil-doers aren’t out of luck just yet. Ignore the unimaginative title — The Archer is a thrilling and highly compelling tale of young woman fighting back against a justice system gone rogue, and it’s inspired by a real-world travesty.
Lauren (Bailey Noble) is an A-student and an expert marksman on her high-school archery team, but she watches as her life crumbles following an altercation and the subsequent criminal proceeding. She’s charged with assault, and while it was in defense of her best friend the judge throws the proverbial book at her sentencing her to a remote detention facility for wayward youths for an “indeterminate” sentence.

To celebrate the release of Martyrs - out now on DVD and Digital HD – we have a copy on DVD to giveaway.
A brilliant reimagining of the French revenge shocker, this all-new version puts its own bloody stamp on the story – but is just as harrowing, visceral and gutsy. Directed by the “ones to watch” sibling duo of Kevin and Michael Goetz (Scenic Route), Martyrs is one of the most exciting horror remakes yet.
It also boasts some great performances from its young cast, with Troian Bellisario and Bailey Noble proving themselves as two scream queens for the ultra-violent generation – plus cult star Toby Huss makes the most chilling appearance of his career.
To win a copy of Martyrs on DVD, just answer the following question:
Who directed the original version of Martyrs? Was it:
a) Pascal Laugier
b) Xavier Gens

To be fair, given the reputation Pascal Laugiers’ Martyrs has in the horror community, it was never going to be an easy task for Kevin and Michael Goetz to remake the film. Given that there are already a myriad of reviews out there comparing the two (detrimentally), I’m going to try something new and Not mention Laugiers’ original film too much… Though given how closely this remake follows the original movie, that could be difficult!

In 2008, writer-director Pascal Laugier contributed to the realm of New French Extremity — a movement defined by such unrelenting bloodbaths as Claire Denis’s Trouble Every Day and Alexandre Aja’s High Tension — with Martyrs. While lesser films of its ilk received the dreaded “torture porn” label, Laugier’s shocking revenge picture gained cult admiration by padding its wrenching depictions of child abuse, hardcore gore, and ghastly (if not inventive) body horror with a provocative reflection on the meaning of suffering. Like many popular overseas horror selections, the film has received an American remake that may not resonate quite as much.
Directed by Kevin and Michael Goetz (Scenic Route), and based on a script by Mark L. Smith (who, as the co-writer of The Revenant, knows a thing or two about grueling violence), the new Martyrs begins much like its predecessor: with a little girl named Lucie (Ever Prishkulnik) escaping an...

The search for knowledge leads to great pain in the Goetz brothers' reimagining of Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs. With the new take on the cult classic horror film hitting theaters and Digital HD this Friday from Anchor Bay Entertainment, we caught up with Martyrs actress Bailey Noble (True Blood) in our latest Q&A feature.
Thanks for taking the time to answer some questions for us, Bailey. How did you get involved with this reimagining of Martyrs and what attracted you to the story?
Bailey Noble: First of all, I love that you called it a reimagining! I auditioned for the role of Anna and after meeting with the Goetz brothers and chemistry reading with Troian [Bellisario], the role was offered to me! I read the script and fell in love with Lucy and Anna's relationship, so that's initially what attracted me to the film. I also love seeing empowered female roles,...

"The truth can only be seen through their eyes." Anchorbay has debuted the first creepy trailer for the new Us remake of the French horror thriller Martyrs, which broke out and became a cult hit back in late 2008 after first premiering at festivals. This new version stars Troian Bellisario, Bailey Noble, Kate Burton and Toby Huss. This is about two friends who find themselves "trapped in a nightmare" as grown ups after being traumatized at an orphanage while young. This looks like it's much more of a psychological thriller with some horrific moments, and also exactly what I would expect for a remake. Just doesn't look that good. Here's the first trailer for Kevin & Michael Goetz's Martyrs, direct from Anchorbay's YouTube: Synopsis: Ten-year-old Lucie flees from the isolated warehouse where she has been held prisoner. Deeply traumatized, she is plagued by awful night terrors at the orphanage that takes her in.

I assume Pascal Laugier's original Martyrs (review) needs no introduction. It's easily one of the most talked about and controversial films to see release in the last ten years. So it was no surprise that a remake was announced back in 2010 in light of the French import's success.

The remake stars Bailey Noble (True Blood) and Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars). Martyrs also features Kate Burton (Stay, Big Trouble in Little China) and Blake Robbins (Rubber). The script comes fromMark L. Smith whose previous work includes Vacancy, The Hole and The Revenant.

Her only comfort comes from Anna, a girl her own age. Nearly a decade later and still haunted by demons, Lucie finally tracks down the family that tortured her.
