Kyle Gallner (pictured above), who you may remember from A Nightmare on Elm Street and Jennifer’s Body, is set to round out the cast of Alcon Entertainment’s Beautiful Creatures, which will be distributed by Warner Bros. on February 1, 2013, says Variety. Richard LaGravenese is writing and directing the supernatural love story based on the first novel in Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl’s popular series. Alden Ehrenreich and newcomer Alice Englert star as teenage lovers who uncover dark secrets about their families, their history and their town. Pic co-stars Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis, Emma Thompson, Emmy Rossum and Thomas Mann. Gallner will play Larkin, Rossum’s younger brother whom she casts a spell on.
Sharlto Copley (District 9, Elysium) is heading to Hungary to begin shooting Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego’s Open Grave, and he has closed his deal to play the villain in Spike Lee’s Oldboy, a remake of the cult 2003 Korean revenge thriller from Park Chan-wook, reports Deadline. The actor will play the lead character in Lopez-Gallego’s follow-up to Apollo 18. Copley’s character wakes up in the pit full of rotting bodies with no idea how he got there, begins to have flashbacks of himself murdering people and stars to believe he’s the killer. Bloody Disgusting exclusively learned that Thomas Kretschmann (Hostel: Part III, King Kong, Resident Evil: Apocalypse) and Josie Ho (Contagion) round out the cast.
Lastly, Vik Sahay (pictured below; “Chuck”) officially joins A.J. Cook (“Criminal Minds”), Simon Quarterman (The Devil Inside) and Brian J. O’Connor (Epic Movie) in WER, the werewolf flick being directed by William Brent Bell (The Devil Inside), reports THR. Finally breaking the silence, they confirm our exclusive plot details: “The story is set in Paris and follows an investigation of a gruesome slaying of a family. Sahay is a member of the defense team which learns its client (O’Connor), who is suspect in the slayings, is a werewolf.” Shooting starts in Bucharest, Romania this month and is being produced by FilmDistrict (Insidious).

The Independent Spirit Award nominations are in. I truly don’t care. What’s interesting is Kevin Smith, who just can’t seem to stay out of the news (I really wish he would). Via his Twitter account @thatkevinsmith the writer/director of Red State bitched and moaned about his zero noms calling the awards “#fakeindie,” which is absolutely hilarious considering that’s exactly what Red State was.
“How the fuck did the @SpiritAwards NOT nominate Michael Parks? Nor John Goodman? Nor Melissa Leo?” Smith snarled on Twitter. “Fuck your idiotic organization.”
What Smith probably meant to say was: “How the fuck was MY movie not recognized? I’m Kevin Smith. I’m awesome!” Don’t you dare argue with genius!
While I won’t go as far as to say Red State was absolutely terrible, it is included on my “Worst Horror of 2011″ feature, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the film landed a Razzie nom in 2012. Fingers crossed for justice.
You guys love to hate on us for disliking the film, so go forth and insult away! READ MORE
RED STATE is a horror film in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America.
A group of kids encounter a crazed preacher (based on Fred Phelps, founder of the Westboro Baptist Church) who gives a whole new meaning to the term “extreme fundamentalism.
Red State unfolds in a small town dominated by a fundamentalist preacher, Abin Cooper. It tells the story of three high school boys who, on their way to an internet arranged meeting with a woman, end up crossing paths with Cooper. The encounter sets into motion a series of events that causes all hell to break loose.
While there are various other distribution plans (VOD on September 1), Kevin Smith’s Red State (review) will be arriving on DVD and Blu-ray from Lionsgate October 18. Extra features include: “The Making of Red State” documentary, Audio commentary with Kevin Smith, Sundance speech with introduction by Kevin Smith, Sundance ending, Deleted scenes with introduction by Kevin Smith, Poster Gallery with introduction by Kevin Smith.
We just now got our hands on a hi-res image gallery, dig it by clicking the below still.
“Three teenage boys are lured to the town of Cooper’s Dell with the promise of a party. But instead of enjoying the night of their dreams, the teens are plunged into the nightmarish world of Pastor Abin Cooper and the Five Points Trinity, a fundamentalist group with a stockpile of weaponry and a deadly moral agenda. When word of the teens’ disappearance reaches the authorities, a military task force is mobilized. With Cooper’s Dell teetering between salvation and damnation, the ATF braces for furious gun battle with Cooper and his heavily armed followers in this fever-pitched action thriller from writer-director Kevin Smith.”

On September 1st, Lionsgate will debut Kevin Smith’s Red State (review) on VOD. The untraditional, direct-to-fan, touring theatrical release pioneered by SModcast Pictures during the “Red State USA” Tour continues this fall.
Starring Kyle Gallner, Melissa Leo, Dermot Mulroney, Michael Angarano, Steven Root, Michael Parks and John Goodman, Lionsgate has just released an official trailer and one sheet that can both be viewed inside.
“ ‘Red State’ unfolds in a small town dominated by a fundamentalist preacher, Abin Cooper. It tells the story of three high school boys who, on their way to an internet arranged meeting with a woman, end up crossing paths with Cooper. The encounter sets into motion a series of events that causes all hell to break loose.”
While Kevin Smith charges fans upwards of $80 to see his movie Red State (review) in a theater, he continues to share assets for the movie with fans who donate to a charitable cause. His latest character poster features Stephen Root as “Sherrif Wynan” and was given to FilmThreat, Heath C, Ice, Dan Duffy, Jamie Calder, Darryl Clarke, and Gavin Ap’ Morrygan after they all donated to Japanese Relief at redcross.org.

After premiering at the Sundance Film Festival this past January, Kevin Smith has officially begun his National roadshow for his political horror Red State (review), which he’ll officially release come October 19.
This morning Apple.com premiered the “official” trailer, poster and synopsis.
“The 10th film from writer/director Kevin Smith (“Clerks”, “Chasing Amy”, “Dogma”, “Clerks 2″, “Zack & Miri Make a Porno”), ‘Red State’ unfolds in a small town dominated by a fundamentalist preacher, Abin Cooper. It tells the story of three high school boys who, on their way to an internet arranged meeting with a woman, end up crossing paths with Cooper. The encounter sets into motion a series of events that causes all hell to break loose.
A horror thriller that could only come from the imagination of Smith, ‘Red State’ stars Tarantino and Rodriguez favorite Michael Parks (“From Dusk Till Dawn”, “Kill Bill Vols. 1 & 2″), Oscar Nominee for Best Actress Melissa Leo (“The Fighter,” “Frozen River”) and John Goodman, Michael Angarano, Kyle Gallner and Nicholas Braun.”

It’s funny how Kevin Smith used so much energy spewing hate at the press and then pulled a publicity stunt acquiring his own movie for $20. If that’s not begging for press, I don’t know what is. He continues his off-the-charts hypocrisy by providing MTV with the first ever clip from Red State (read our review) that puts three young teens in an awkward position.
Before being self-released via his Smodcast Pictures Banner in October (I still bet money that the Weinsteins will be involved), Smith will be taking the religious horror thriller on the road this coming March. It follows a group of misfits who encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America.
Ryan Daley was one of the first ever to catch Kevin Smith’s Red State when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. He wasn’t a fan. While not hating the movie, he thought it moved too far away from horror and focused too much attention on hefty dialogue. Maybe Smith agrees?
During a podcast interview with the Kevin and Josh Movie Show, Smith revealed he plans on removing nearly 10 minutes of footage before taking it on the road March 5. You’ll find a taste of the interview inside.

I wanted to start unrolling Ryan Daley’s Sundance Film Festival reviews tomorrow, but you guys have been clamoring for Bloody Disgusting’s official stance on Kevin Smith’s Red State. And for those of you expecting a biased review from a Smith hater, let it be known that Daley is a huge fan.
“‘Red State’ isn`t particularly fun to watch with a group. In fact, it`s not particularly fun at all. Perhaps if the horror aspects had been more prominent, instead of repeatedly shoved to the background in favor of heavy wads of dialogue, Smith would have had a future cult hit on his hands.”
To read Daley’s entire review all you have to do is click the title above. Watch for all of the reviews in the coming days, but until then catch up on all of our Sundance coverage.
Writer/director Kevin Smith debuted two new Red State one sheets thanks to donations to Kenny Gordon Foundation from sites including XCellentCreations. One features the character ‘Caleb”, while the other hosts “The Sons”, a trio of what looks to be a group of no-good kids. One kid has a rat-tail, and that’s awesome. Kyle Gallner, Melissa Leo, Dermot Mulroney, Michael Angarano, Steven Root, Michael Parks, and John Goodman lead the cast in the horror film in which a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America. It will premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah this coming January.

Website GFB Robot donated $2,000 to help kids in Haiti (details here), their prize was the chance to debut yet another fugly Red State poster that cleaned up the font just a little bit from the first (so it’s only kinda gross). The one sheet features a new look at “The Father” in Kevin Smith’s political horror that premieres this coming January at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. It follows a group of misfits encounter fundamentalism gone to the extreme in Middle America.

What’s with stars using their talents as collateral to force fans to donate money these days? That entire “donate or we won’t tweet” situation (that completely failed) last week was absolutely appalling (and loaded with narcissism), especially considering how meaningless $1m was between the lot of ‘em. Now writer/director Kevin Smith is hoping to “do some good” with the release of his second Red State poster that was only unveiled after a bunch of generous fans pledged $1000 to The Wayne Foundation in less than 30 minutes. I just don’t appreciate public figures holding things over their fan’s head forcing them to donate. If you’re a charitable person, you can make your fans aware of the opportunities without forcing them to empty their pockets (here’s an example from Bloody Disgusting). If you really want to help change the world, then maybe post links to various charities or include a banner to the Wayne Foundation in all of your podcasts/blogs/etc.? Either way, if you feel strongly about the Wayne Foundation’s cause, make sure to donate. Anyways, Red State is premiering at Sundance this coming January, hopefully the thriller isn’t as fugly as the following poster. Blarg.

Since the very first word, director Kevin Smith has “planned” quite unordinary steps in getting his political horror flick Red State made. While his intentions were quirky, it sounds as if this were your average indie Hollywood (I know that’s an oxymoron) production. Now that the film is in the can, Smith tells /Film of yet another oddball idea – assuming his film will be accepted into Sundance. “Here’s something that’s not so much news as my stated intentions for RED STATE: if it gets into Sundance, my plan is to pick the RED STATE distributor right there – IN THE ROOM – auction style,” he tells the site via e-mail. “Might even bring up a professional auctioneer to make it fun and unintelligible. And if you’re a multi-millionaire who can’t make it to the first screening of RED STATE, fear not: maybe we’ll set up an eBay page for the post-screening bid-calling as well.” The real question is: what will the starting bid be? What if it sucks? Can I bid $1? Is there a reserve? What’s the by it now option? ROFL.
