While it was on the air, Fairy Tail became one of the biggest shoneen anime series. Though it never competed with any of the Big 3, it earned a spot in the tier below them, mostly for its cool, yet quirky characters. It was easy for viewers to find a character they identified with, and even a good ship pairing they liked.

That said, while there were plenty of cool characters, Hiro Mashima also created a number of weird characters to populate his world. Having either weird designs, weird powers, or both, these characters made the series just as much as the main characters did. Any true fan of the series will recognize even the most obscure characters, often because they were so cartoonish they were hard to forget.

The Sundance Film Festival starts this week (we’ve just finished weatherising our Damon Wise for the event; think the rebel base on Hoth if you need a visual) but already one of the most anticipated movies is Primer director Shane Carruth’s first film in nearly a decade, Upstream Color. In advance of the premiere, Carruth and co have put out a new trailer, available over at Apple.While most of the details are being kept under wraps for now, the basic synopsis of the movie reads thusly: “A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.”Beyond that, all we have is a cast list, with Carruth appearing alongside Andrew Sensenig, Brina Palencia, Amy Seimetz, Juli Erickson, Frank Mosley and Mollie Milligan.It’s refreshing to see...

I like to think that I’m on track with every indie film development there possibly is – especially Sundance alumni. But somehow the filmmaker who gave us Primer wasn’t as dormant as I thought he was. Upstream Color sees Shane Carruth oversee all aspects of his film: write, direct, act, compose the score, edit, and is also the dp and was a camera operator as well. By the looks of the media that has been released on this indie project – it looks glossy in the best kind of manner possible. The most anticipated film title at the fest this year (alongside a certain Linklater film) also stars the hardest working actress in the biz: Amy Seimetz.

Last week, the first trailer debuted for Upstream Color, writer-director Shane Carruth's long-awaited follow-up to his critically-acclaimed 2004 debut Primer. Today, we have the second trailer for this bizarre thriller, starring Andrew Sensenig and Amy Seimetz as a couple trapped within the life cycle of a mysterious, ageless, organism. The film will make its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next month, before opening in theaters March 22, 2013. Until then, you can feast on this strange footage.

Primer writer/director Shane Carruth returns with his second feature film, the sci-fi drama Upstream Color. Andrew Sensenig and Brina Palencia star as a man and woman entangled in the life cycle of an ageless organism, where their Identities become an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of their wrecked lives. We have the trailer and poster for this unique vision. Here, why don't you watch it and see if you can figure out what's going on.

Upstream Color comes to theaters March 22nd, 2013 and stars Andrew Sensenig, Shane Carruth, Brina Palencia, Amy Seimetz, Juli Erickson, Frank Mosley, Mollie Milligan, Joy Freeman-DeLeon. The film is directed by Shane Carruth.

When some young, fresh and original directors garner attention for their first film, it can lead to the Hollywood lure of big names, bigger budgets, and more generic work. But on the evidence of this trailer for Primer director Shane Carruth’s Upstream Color, he’s sticking with the complex, thoughtful and atmospheric tone. Take a look above.Very little is known about the film, which features Carruth acting once again, this time alongside Andrew Sensenig, Brina Palencia, Amy Seimetz, Juli Erickson, Frank Mosley and Mollie Milligan.It will screen at the Sundance Festival in January, and so far all that has really been released besides some stills is this rough synopsis: “A man and woman are drawn together, entangled in the lifecycle of an ageless organism. Identity becomes an illusion as they struggle to assemble the loose fragments of wrecked lives.” So... Yes. He certainly has us interested.But...

Universal Soldier is being rebooted, remade into a TV Show. The Universal Soldier TV series is being penned by Damian Kindler and is being brought to the small screen by Fremantle Media. Allen Shapiro and Craig Baumgarten, both of whom produced the original 1992 Universal Soldier film – directed by Roland Emmerich - will executive produce the TV series.

I found this story strange since John Hyams is currently making Universal Soldier: A New Dimension with Jean-Claude Van Damme, Dolph Lundgren, Scott Adkins, Rus Blackwell, Mariah Bonner, Audrey P. Scott, David Jensen, Adam Sibley, James DuMont, Roy Jones Jr., Christopher Severio, Juli Erickson, and David Lee Valle. The film has not even been released yet. I thought Michael Jai White was starring in the film as well, reported here: Universal Soldier: A New Dimension: Michael Jai White joins Damme, Lundgren, but a quick check of his IMDb page and the Universal Soldier: A New Dimension...

Ah, Facebook. How you satisfy my Jcvd fix. New behind-the-scenes pics from the set of John Hyams’ Universal Soldier: A New Dimension featuring Van Damme. Still, we don’t know what the film is about, but it’ll be in 3D. Dolph Lundgren, Micheal Jai White, Scott Adkins, and co-stars Rus Blackwell, Mariah Bonner, Beau Brasso, David Jensen, James DuMont, Audrey P. Scott, Glen Warner, Robert Douthat, Juli Erickson, Kristopher Van Varenberg and Adam Sibley.

We will keep you updated on more Universal Soldier: A New Dimension.

Actors Juli (no “e”!) Erickson and Gabriel Horn were an absolute delight to speak with. Both come from very different generations of acting (and life), but their chemistry meshes so well it shows both on-screen and off. They’re currently at the Dallas International Film Festival with writer/director Tom Huckabee promoting their film, Carried Away. In the movie, aspiring actor Ed Franklin (Gabriel Horn) comes home for Christmas to visit his family who all are, let’s say, crazy. None of them get along and when he finds out his granny (the very funny Juli Erickson) has been put in a nursing home, he breaks her out and together they embark on a hilarious road trip.

Tom Huckabee lives in Texas but is no stranger to Hollywood. Back in 1983 he wrote, directed, and produced Taking Tiger Mountain, starring Bill Paxton. It’s been roughly 27 years since that film had its debut, and now he’s back with the comedy, Carried Away. In the movie, aspiring actor Ed Franklin (Gabriel Horn) comes home for Christmas to visit his family who all are, let’s say, crazy.
