TIFF ’10: New Image Gallery for ‘Black Swan’
Before arriving in theaters on December 1 from Fox Searchlight, Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan will premiere at both the TIFF and in Venice. Starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Winona Ryder, Barbara Hershey, Sebastian Stan, Kristina Anapau, we were supplied with a revised one sheet along with a few stills from the flick that centers on a veteran ballerina (Portman) who finds herself locked in a competitive situation with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance. But it’s unclear whether the rival is a supernatural apparition or if the protagonist is simply having delusions. How dark the film will be is yet to be seen.

‘Demon Hunters’ Trailer Unleashes Action Horror Team-Up in Taiwan-India’s First Co-Production
A Taiwanese paranormal YouTuber and an Indian tech engineer are forced to join forces against evil in the trailer for Demon Hunters, the first Taiwan-India co-produced feature.
Light House Productions and Kleos Entertainment Group will release the action horror comedy on Digital and VOD on August 7.
Directed by Mei-Juin Chen (Taiwan) and produced by Gayathiri Guliani (India – Kleos Entertainment Group ) and Cindy Shyu (Taiwan – Light House Productions), Demon Hunters follows “Tommy (played by Taiwan’s heartthrob JC Lin), a YouTuber who fakes exorcisms for views, as he teams up with Sanjay (played by India’s current hot superstar Arjan Bajwa), an Indian tech expert and grandson of a legendary exorcist, to battle a zombie demon possession.”
Jack Kao, Harry Chang, and Regina Lei also star.
“This is a great step toward building globally resonant IP from Asia,” said Guliani, producer at Kleos Entertainment Group. “It demonstrates how culturally rooted stories can transcend borders and unlock new film audience ecosystems. Our hope is to do even more cross-cultural and cross-country collaborations.”
Director Chen stated: “I am proud and excited that three women filmmakers from different cultures and countries came together to create and make Demon Hunters. I am looking forward to working together again and ensuring our voices are heard through stories that have been told traditionally from a male perspective. This film gives us so much insight to do more.”
Shyu, producer at Light House Productions, added: “Bringing together Taiwan and India on this scale has been creatively enriching. The film reflects a seamless blend of storytelling traditions and technical excellence that audiences worldwide can connect with. We are looking forward to the US reception for this wild and fun film.”
The cross-cultural action-horror hybrid features more than 700 VFX shots and a combined Taiwanese-Hindi soundtrack, including the Bollywood-style track “Dadaji Ka Jadoo,” distributed by Sony Music Taiwan.
Demon Hunters will be available in America in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Mandarin, and English.
