John Carpenter, Trent Reznor, Danny Elfman, Goblin to Perform at Future Ruins Festival in Los Angeles
Future Ruins, a first-of-its-kind music festival in which film and television composers step out from behind the screen and onto the stage, will take place at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center on November 8.
It will feature genre heavyweights John Carpenter (Halloween, Escape from New York), Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (Gone Girl, The Social Network), Danny Elfman (Batman, Edward Scissorhands), Claudio Simonetti’s Goblin (Suspiria, Dawn of the Dead), Kyle Dixon & Michael Stein (“Stranger Things”), and Howard Shore performing the score of David Cronenberg’s Crash.
The line-up also includes Cristobal Tapia de Veer (“The White Lotus,” Smile), Ben Salisbury & Geoff Barrow (Ex Machina, Annihilation), Hildur Guðnadóttir (Joker, “Chernobyl”) , Isobel Waller-Bridge (“Fleabag”) , Mark Mothersbaugh (Thor: Ragnarok, The Royal Tenenbaums), Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (Candyman), Tamar-kali (Mudbound), Terence Blanchard (Inside Man, Primal Fear), Volker Bertelmann (All Quiet on the Western Front, The Old Guard), and Questlove presenting the score works of Curtis Mayfield (Superfly).
Set across three stages, Future Ruins is designed to feel thoughtful and immersive, bringing this music to light in an environment where it has never been heard before. Every artist is a headliner, each with their own specially curated moment.
Each artist is encouraged to take big swings and reimagine their work for a live audience. Ranging from electronic sets and live bands to orchestral performances, fans have the chance to experience live debuts from composers who rarely appear onstage.
Future Ruins tickets go on sale next Wednesday, May 21 at 12pm PT.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
