Now that Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don’t Cry) is set in the director’s chair, producers are working to cast the lead in the MGM/Screen Gems remake of Carrie. Vulture reports that a number of actresses have been shortlisted for the part (including Dakota Fanning and Lily Collins) but Chloe Moretz and Haley Bennett (Marley and Me) are apparently the top two candidates. The remake is said to be more faithful to Stephen King’s source material than Brian De Palma’s 1976 film adaptation, and apparently The Descendants star Shailene Woodley has already passed on the lead role.

Hot off his crazytimes spell and firing from the CBS “comedy” Two and a Half Men, Charlie Sheen has landed the lead in Roman Coppola’s A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charlie Swan III. The story, which hits a little close to home for the actor, centers on a successful graphic designer whose fame and fortune have made him irresistible to women. His life heads into a downward spiral when his girlfriend breaks up with him. Variety reports that Coppola, who most recently co-wrote Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom, will write and direct with Jason Schwartzman also set to star.

Juno Temple and Chris Zylka Exclusive Video Interview KABOOM

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: January 25th, 2011 at 2:21 pm

With Sundance in full swing in Park City, I got to sit down with Juno Temple and Chris Zylka to talk about their work in Gregg Araki’s Kaboom (watch my interview with Araki here). Premiering January 21st in limited release and nationwide on VOD (Video on Demand), Kaboom is a ” thriller/comedy telling the story of Smith (Thomas Dekker), an ambisexual 18 year-old college freshman who stumbles upon a monstrous conspiracy in a seemingly idyllic seaside Southern California town.”  The film also stars Haley Bennett, Rozane Mesquida, James Duval, and Andy Fischer-Price.  If you’re a fan of Nowhere, The Doom Generation and Totally F*cked Up, you definitely want to check out Kaboom.

During the interview, Temple and Zylka talked about how they’d describe Kaboom to friends, how the film captures that first love energy, how they got involved in the film, the nudity, the differences from the script to what ended up on screen, their reaction to the very honest “lessons in giving head” scene, and what they have coming up.  For all you Spider-Man fans, Zylka plays Flash Thompson in the reboot.  Hit the jump to watch:

New Trailer for Gregg Araki’s KABOOM

by Jason Barr    Posted: January 14th, 2011 at 4:09 pm

The trailer for Gregg Araki’s (Mysterious Skin) sci-fi/comedy Kaboom has landed online.  Starring Thomas Dekker (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Haley Bennett (The Haunting of Molly Hartley), Kaboom centers on Smith (Dekker), an 18-year-old college freshman who happens to come across a conspiracy in a picturesque Southern California community.  Considering I’ve yet to see the film, I can only go by what the trailer tells me.  With that in mind, this trailer is telling me to expect a sexier, more colorful, and more comedic Donnie Darko.  If Kaboom delivers on that tease, then it is definitely worth my time.

To check out the trailer for yourself, hit the jump.  While Kaboom made the rounds on festival circuits last year (it screened at both the Toronto International Film Festival and Cannes, to name a few), it will be making its U.S. debut at the upcoming Sundance Film Festival.

3 NSFW Clips from Gregg Araki’s KABOOM

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 17th, 2010 at 10:25 am

One of the many films to premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival is Gregg Araki’s Kaboom.  Since no trailers or footage had been released prior to the festival, many were curious what kind of movie he had made.  Would it be serious like Mysterious Skin or was he returning to his earlier days and making another Doom Generation or Nowhere.

Well, after watching the NSFW clips, it’s pretty clear Kaboom is a return to his roots and it looks like only something Araki could come up with.  Hit the jump to check out the clips and I’ve also posted some snippets of a few reviews:
