Le Donk and Scor-Zay-Zee Trailer Arrives

We’re big Shane Meadows fans here at Corridorstyle, particularly the stuff he’s done with Paddy Considine so this looks right up our street. Apparently it’s some kind of initiative he’s behind to make feaure films in only five days, and this is the first.

Paddy Considine plays loser Le Donk who’s just discovered a rapping protegee, Scor-Zay-Zee, and this ‘documentary’ charts his efforts to create the next Eminem.

Check out the trailer below, apparently his next film is areally bleak horror movie and is a return to ‘Dead Man’s Shoes’ territory. We’ll definitely be front of the queue for both films.

Enter the void – Our Sitges Preview

Two hours. Three hours. Who knows which Version Sitges will throw up but will we be there when the lights go down to see which? Read on to find out

Heartless to show at Sitges

We’ve only just picked this up and there’s nothing official yet on the Sitges website but it would appear that Philip Ridley’s HEARTLESS will be showing at the festival.

A little ashamed to say that, of Ridley’s previous work, I’ve only seen THE KRAYS but Todd Brown over at Twitch Films and Mark Kermode (of all people) at the Beeb have piqued my interest to catch this one.

I was impressed with Jim Sturgess in ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and only recently got around to watching IN BRUGES where Clemence Poesy was certainly easy on the eye and handled herself comfortably across from Colin Farrell

From a link over at IMDB it would appear that Todd Brown has also churned out a review of HEARTLESS from the FRIGHTFEST screening but the link’s presently not working. Come on Todd, don’t hold out on us.

Coppola To Attend Sitges?

This is totally unconfirmed but I think there’s a chance that the great Francis Ford Coppola will be attending Sitges this year. This is based on Tweets that I saw over the weekend, however I think they were in Catalan and unfortunately my Catalan is about as good as my Mandarin Chinese.

It would kind of make sense as I believe he’s visited Sitges a couple of times but from what I can see it wasn’t necessarily to the festival, it was to visit a restaurant called Al Fresco which had been recommended to him whilst he was visiting Barcelona. Also, his film ‘Youth Without Youth’ is showing in the Seven Chances section and he’s also got a new film out soon called ‘Tetro’ which could potentially be shown as a surprise session?

Let us know if you’ve heard anything.

Sitges News Update – Official

Just a follow up to our earlier post where we mentioned some new films Sitges had confirmed as part of their ever growing line-up.

Here’s the link to the festival’s official announcement

[REC]2 – Our Sitges Preview

The batteries have been recharged and the camera’s rolling once more. Dim the lights and turn up the night-vision. The sequel to 2007’s claustrophobic Blair-zombie

Sitges News Update

We’ve not received the official update yet but it appears that the films that are going to make up the Seccion – Oficial Fantastic have been announced.

You can see the full list here, we’ll be putting up previews of the individual films over the next few days.

Sitges News

Ok. It’s a week old and we’ve pinched it off Variety but we’ve a few new films to add to the ever-growing Sitges festival program.

No final confirmation yet on the official Sitges site but it Looks like LA HORDE will indeed be showing along with Romero’s SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD, Christian Alvart’s PANDORUM, and Kathryn Bigelow’s THE HURT LOCKER (probably included as it’s Spanish Premier)

Inside a month to go now so we’re officially excited

Sitges Rumours Part Two

We’re also hearing that French Zombie film LA HORDE is likely to be playing at Sitges this year.

Initially I really liked the look of this as the trailer made it look like SNATCH meets 28 DAYS LATER and also reports were coming in from sites such as TWITCHFILM giving it glowing reports.

However, reading the tweets coming in from this weekend’s FRIGHTFEST, it seemed to get a fairly unanimous thumbs down so now I’m not too sure.

Sitges Rumours Part One

We’re expecting stuff to be confirmed over the next few days, but here’s the first of a couple of rumours we’ve had leaked to us recently:

Fruit Chan’s DON’T LOOK UP is expected to be shown at this year’s festival, although as I write I’m still waiting for this to be confirmed. Our knowledge of his previous work is limited at best however a couple of years ago we managed to catch DUMPLINGS which was truly bizarre, but in a good way.

You can view the IMDB entry HERE, apparently it’s something to do with the characters in a horror movie coming to life and messing with the director?? I’ve included what I think might be the trailer below, it’s not anything I’m getting over excited about, but you’re more than welcome to try to convince me otherwise.
