Exclusive TV Spot for I MELT WITH YOU Starring Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, and Jeremy Piven

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: November 3rd, 2011 at 5:05 pm

We’re happy to debut an exclusive TV spot for the drama I Melt With You today. The film tells the story of four lifelong friends (Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, and Christian McKay) who gather for their annual get-together in Big Sur, only to be confronted by the current state of their lives darkened by a promise from their past. This spot is much more commercial than the incredibly dark trailers and promos we’ve seen before, but I’m still intrigued by the project. The cast is great, and it looks to be a pretty compelling drama.

Hit the jump to watch the TV spot. I Melt With You will be available on Magnolia On-Demand November 4th, followed by its theatrical release on December 9th.

Each year, a number of films are presented and sold at the American Film Market in Santa Monica.

Lucky for us, that info is now public, and we’ve pulled together cast, director, and writer information as well as official synopses for some high profile 2012 Lionsgate films. We’ve got info on the Evil Dead remake, Spike Lee’s English-language adaptation of the now classic Park Chan-wook film Old Boy, Diablo Cody’s directorial debut, the comedy Murder of a Cat starring Jay Baruchel, Alison Pill, and Rob Lowe, and much more. Hit the jump for all the details.

PARKS AND RECREATION Season Three DVD Review

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: October 15th, 2011 at 6:03 am

When the NBC comedy series first started, Parks and Recreation only seemed to be riding on the coattails of The Office with its mockumentary style and somewhat weak start in the first season. However, two season later the show has quickly found its footing, crafted some spectacular characters, fantastic comedy and a series that has actually surpassed the quality of the series it once seemed to simply copy. Aside from previous series regulars like Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman and Aziz Ansari consistently delivering some of the best comedic performances on television, the addition of Adam Scott and Rob Lowe as series regulars also bring some magic to Pawnee, Indiana. For a more in-depth analysis of the third season of Parks and Recreation, hit the jump.

Red Band Trailer for I MELT WITH YOU Starring Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, and Jeremy Piven

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: September 29th, 2011 at 4:10 pm

The red band trailer for the drama I Melt With You has gone online. The film centers on four lifelong friends (Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, and Christian McKay) that gather for their annual get-together in Big Sur, only to be confronted by their own shortcomings in life and a past secret. The trailer is rather strange. It almost seems a bit like St. Elmo’s Fire meets Requiem for a Dream. It features lots of drugs and close-ups and music, then there’s that secret. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason I need to know. The performances look intense, with some non-Ari shouting from Piven, so expect plenty of drama. I’m a bit biased here, given my heterosexual man-crush on Lowe, but it looks like a weird little flick and my interest is piqued.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Directed by Mark Pellington, the film will be available on Magnolia On-Demand on November 4th, followed by a theatrical release on December 9th.

Trailer for I MELT WITH YOU Starring Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 18th, 2011 at 4:39 pm

After those extremely creepy teasers that were released for Mark Pellington’s (The Mothman Prophecies) polarizingly dark drama I Melt With You, I really wasn’t sure what to expect from the actual film. Well, now the trailer for the flick has been released, and it’s equally creepy. It appears to be a very twisted version of The Big Chill, with Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven starring as three friends who share a vital secret. They go away together and apparently go insane. Magnolia acquired the film at Sundance and is set to release it sometime this year. Hit the jump to check out the trailer for I Melt With You.

Rob Lowe Directing Candy Bar Horror Short Film BUTTERFINGER THE 13TH

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 13th, 2011 at 1:51 pm

Rob Lowe is kind of on fire these days. He’s killing it every week on Parks and Recreation, he has a New York Times best-selling memoir flying off shelves, and he recently signed on to return to his West Wing roots as a political operative in Knife Fight. Now, he’s taking his talents to horror. Candy bar horror, to be more specific. Lowe will be directing a 25-minute short film for Butterfinger called Butterfinger the 13^th. The horror-comedy is set to be released on October 13^th, just in time for Halloween.

Hit the jump to check out the sweet (zing!) teaser trailer for the film, as well as a tongue-in-cheek press release.

Rob Lowe to Play Tough Political Operative in KNIFE FIGHT

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 12th, 2011 at 11:28 am

One of Rob Lowe’s most famous roles was as the idealistic and brilliant communications deputy Sam Seaborn on Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing.  Now it looks like he’s going to a much darker place in the political spectrum as Deadline reports that he’s signed on to star in Knife Fight.  Lowe will play the “lead role of a political crisis specialist who plays hard and tough in dealing with various October campaign surprises.”  Lowe clearly has the versatility to make such a role come alive and I’ll be interested to see what he does with it.  In the meantime, you can still see him playing a character involved in politics (or at least governance) as he’s been killing it on Parks and Recreation all season long.

Knife Fight is set to hit theaters in October 2012 to capitalize on the reality show we call our Presidential election.

Rob Lowe Goes Crazy on the Cast of PARKS AND RECREATION

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: January 18th, 2011 at 1:04 pm

Rob Lowe really livened up an already stellar comedy series when he joined the cast of Parks and Recreation towards the end of the second season. Well, unfortunately no one bothered to tell Rob Lowe that he wasn’t going to be on TV while the show was on hiatus waiting for its third season to begin and that dude is pissed. Funny or Die was on set to catch Rob Lowe’s outburst that resulted in him dropping some F-bombs and throwing coffee in Aziz Ansari’s face, and you can check out the explosive footage below. The third season premieres on NBC this Thursday, January 20th at 9:30/8:30c right after The Office, so I hope these guys patch things up before then.

THE INVENTION OF LYING Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: January 19th, 2010 at 7:09 am

Ricky Gervais has a cult following in America for his work on the British version of The Office. The show didn’t hit cultural saturation stateside (though it is a masterpiece), it did inspire the American version, and Gervais made some in-roads with HBO-released Extras. Cinematically, he made a cameo in Stardust, and they have now given him two films to star in: Ghost Town, a more standardized romantic comedy, and The Invention of Lying, which was more in tune with his comic sensibilities. It also attracted a great deal of talent, which speaks to Gervais’s power in the community. In the film are Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, Louis C.K., Rob Lowe, Jeffery Tambor, Jennifer Garner, and a number of high profile cameos. Unfortunately for Gervais, neither did all that well, but both are fun to watch. The Invention of Lying stars Gervais as the first person to ever figure out lying in world where lying never existed before. My review of The Invention of Lying Blu-ray after the jump.
