Prometheus’ reign at the top of the Box Office chart finally came to an end this week as it drops down to fourth place with Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter landing the top spot. The Five Year Engagement also did pretty well going in at three, just behind MIB3 in second place. Stephen Frears’ latest offering [...]
To mark today’s release of Killer Joe, Entertainment One have given us two signed posters by the movie’s legendary director William Friedkin (who directed a little movie called The Exorcist!). Killer Joe has a great cast which includes Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple, Gina Gershon, Thomas Haden Church with fabulous script from Tracy Letts. [...]
Last week, I got to chat with one of the most legendary directors in Hollywood. The man in question is William Friedkin. While he may not be as well known as Steven Spielberg, James Cameron or Robert Zemeckis, if I told you that he’s directed The French Connection and a little horror movie called The [...]
Matthew McConaughey stars as the eponymous Killer Joe in William Friedkin’s crime-thriller, heralded by critics as an unmissable dark and twisted film this year, which sounds perfect to me. It recently landed the notorious NC-17 rating across the Atlantic – a rating potentially damaging to its US box office performance. The film debuted in Venice [...]
Matthew McConaughey’s resurgence in the past few years has been impressive to watch, diversifying his career with the likes of The Lincoln Lawyer last year, and heading in new directions once more this year with Killer Joe, Magic Mike, The Paperboy, and Mud. E1 have sent over the first trailer for the next of those, [...]
Killer Joe will open the 66th Edinburgh International Film Festival, artistic director Chris Fujiwara has announced. The noir thriller, directed by William Friedkin (The Exorcist), centers on a young man whose life spirals out of control when he hires an unexpectedly charming hit man to kill his own mother for her life insurance policy. In [...]
Here’s the third and final part of Jim Emerson‘s video editing masterclass, In the Cut which he has titled, I Left My Heart in My Throat in San Francisco. In this video, Jim uses William Friedkin’s “The French Connection” (1971), Peter Yates’ “Bullitt” (1968) and Don Siegel’s “The Lineup” (1958) to clearly show how editing and [...]
Matthew McConaughey did a bit of a one-eighty in his career this year, subverting people’s expectations of him with his leading role in the film adaptation of Michael Connelly’s novel, The Lincoln Lawyer, which was very well received. One of his next films, Killer Joe, could well be more of the same, and this first [...]
Here’s a bunch of new images from yet another film set to play at the Toronto Film Festival. It’s called Killer Joe, is directed by William Friedkin and stars Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Thomas Haden Church, Juno Temple and Gina Gershon. Emile Hirsch plays a desperate Texas debtor who plots to kill his mother, with help [...]
The west coast cultural melting-pot that is Los Angeles goes by the nickname “the city of angels”, although throughout many of its representations on the big screen, it appears to be somewhat lacking a population which could be described as heavenly. Whether it be the backdrop for a futuristic tale of a world-wearily cop hunting [...]
Matthew McConaughey seems to have allowed himself to settle into a rut lately. By-the-numbers rom-coms such as Failure to Launch, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days and The Wedding Planner have all served to blight the memory of some genuinely varied and successful character work in Frailty, Amistad, A Time [...]
Perhaps one of the most notorious horror films ever made, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist will have its Blu-ray debut in October in both the US and the UK. Warner Brothers have put together a very tempting package for the release which will feature both the theatrical cut and the ‘director’s cut’, which was previously released [...]
Halloween is a time quite custom designed for tricks, treats and terror. In the world of cinema, there is no film as notoriously terrifying as William Friedkin’s The Exorcist. As a special treat to Orange Film Club members, the tree-lined depths of Tower Hamlets Cemetery came alive tonight with clergy, fog, spirits and curious lights – all leading the [...]
