[News Bites] SWAT Confiscates ‘World War Z’ Arsenal, Behind-the-Scenes of ‘Dracula 3D’ and ‘R.I.P.D.’
On Monday, a SWAT team raided a Budapest warehouse holding weapons being used in Brad Pitt’s upcoming zombie movie World War Z, writes US Magazine. “The film is already over budget and over schedule,” a source tells the site. “Brad is furious.” Police seized 85 fully-functional weapons, most of which were automatic, military-style assault rifles. The problem, a source says, is that the guns came with paperwork claiming they were non-functional — but they’re actually in working order.

The film is based on the original novel by Bram Stroker, about the vampire Dracula, an icon of twentieth century culture.
Carrie-Anne Moss talked to IFC about her role as “Claudia Wolf” in Lionsgate’s Silent Hill: Revelation, stating she didn’t play any of the games, but reflected at the character from “Silent Hill 3”: ““It definitely was part of the conversation with the director, looking at a lot of different footage. And then ultimately this crazy wig and this crazy costume helped me go, there I was! … The dialogue, too. This woman was powerful and slightly insane, but a zealot who totally believed in what she was doing. So it was pretty intense.” Michael J. Bassett directed the sequel arriving some time in 2012.
Boston.com went behind-the-scenes of R.I.P.D., being filmed on Batterymarch Street in the Financial District over the weekend.

One of the genre films set to premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in June is the sci-fi/drama She Loved Blossoms More, and a bonkers first-look photo has arrived this week (above).
Additionally, Variety reports this afternoon that Yellow Veil Pictures has secured world sales on She Loved Blossoms More, billed as a “family drama in science fiction disguise.”
In the film, “three brothers build an unusual time-machine in order to bring their long-dead mother back to life. When their delusional father comes into the picture, the experiments go awry, and they descend into a psychedelic hellscape where the past and present fuse in a comedic yet deeply disturbing exploration of grief.”
Yannis Veslemes directed the film and co-wrote with Dimitris Emmanouilidis.
Veslemes said in a statement shared by Variety, “[She Loved Blossoms More is] a ballad for the defeated, a comedy for the accursed, a moral tale for us all and our beloved families.”
“She Loved Blossoms More is the first film we’ve onboarded at script stage, and it’s been quite amazing to see it come alive,” said Hugues Barbier of Yellow Veil Pictures. “We couldn’t be more proud of Yannis’ vision and the amazing team he has around him. Blossoms is an emotional thrill ride and a calling card for one of the most exciting new filmmakers.”
