Watch Lars von Trier’s Violent Short ‘Occupation’
It’s been a beautifully slow news day, which is all fine and dandy — other than it makes me feel like we don’t have anything fun for you guys to read about during your final hours of a long work weel. We’ll fix that right now…
My buddy Aaron just sent me over a short film I completely forgot about that’s perfect for Bloody Disgusting, and makes a bold statement about disrupting other patrons in a theater (I’m looking at you!)
The above short film was helmed by none other than Lars von Trier, the self-proclaimed greatest director in the world who’s most recent works include the masterpieces Antichrist and Melancholia. The 3-minute long short, entitled “Occupations,” was directed in 2007 as part of Chacun Son Cinéma (To Each His Own Cinema) collective film of 33 shorts directed by different directors about their feeling about Cinema.
It’s not a good idea to interrupt a man who is watching a movie in cinema. Especially if that person is Lars von Trier….
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
