It’s barely been 24 hours since Danny Boyle cast a shadow of uncertainty over Cillian Murphy’s potential status in 28 Years Later, but now the director has delivered a much more clear update on his role in the film. 28 Days Later was one of Cillian Murphy’s earliest roles, and since it was announced that a legacy sequel to the film was in the works, fans have been curious about whether he’ll have a role to play. It’s also been confirmed that 28 Years Later will be the first installment in a new trilogy, and we now know definitively when he will show up. During a recent interview with IGN, Boyle confirmed that Murphy will not star in 28 Years Later, but will have a role in its sequel, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple:

"He is in the second one. I shouldn't give away too much.

We’re only a few weeks away from the release of 28 Years Later, and the director of the film has finally shed some light on how it connects to the original. After not returning in any capacity to work on the controversial sequel, 28 Weeks Later, both director Danny Boyle and scribe Alex Garland are back to write and direct 28 Years Later, the legacy sequel to the hit 2002 horror film. Although it was first reported that Cillian Murphy would reprise his role as Jim in the film, this has since been debunked despite his continued involvement as a producer. During a recent Q&a hosted by ScreenRant at an early showing of 28 Years Later, director Danny Boyle was asked how it connects to the original film and what happened to Jim (Murphy) and Selena (Naomie Harris):

“So, it's independent from the first film, but it's still the same...

Tom Hardy’s long-gestating action thriller Havoc is finally gearing up to be released on Netflix. While it’s been in the works for a while, Havoc is getting closer to becoming a reality. Although an exact release date has yet to be announced, Havoc will be arriving in Netflix’s streaming library sometime in 2023. And Hardy isn’t just starring in Havoc; he’s also attached as a producer, so he has even more investment in this project than usual.

Having played Farrier in Dunkirk, SPC Lance Twombly in Black Hawk Down, and “Mad” Max Rockatansky in Mad Max: Fury Road, Hardy is no stranger to playing action heroes in gritty thrillers. With The Raid director Gareth Evans at the helm, Havoc is shaping up to be one of Hardy’s most ruthless and riveting action movies to date.

La-headquartered China Lion Film Distribution has picked up Chinese titles Running Man and Somewhere Only We Know for release in the U.S., Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Both will go day-and-date with their Mainland debuts later this month and in mid-February, the latter taking advantage of the early Chinese New Year corridor. (See teasers below.)

Each of the films has a strong hook for Chinese, and Korean, audiences. Running Man mixes talent from both countries and is adapted from a popular reality TV series which itself was based on an original Korean format. Somewhere Only We Know taps the trend of romance and nostalgia, and stars Kris Wu, a former member of Korean/Chinese boy band Exo.

Running Man, which China Lion picked up from Wanda Media Group, is a feature spinoff of the popular reality TV show that revolves around celebrity teams who compete against one another for an ultimate prize.

The Grind

Stars: Jamie Foreman, Danny John-Jules, Zoe Tapper, Gordon Alexander, Kellie Shirley | Written and Directed by Rishi Opel

The Grind quite simply is a low budget British gangster film, if you can call a criminal loan shark a gangster. It’s a tale of people living the dream to have a night club and make a success out of it, losers who affect other people’s lives through addiction and just plain selfishness.

At the start of the story Vince has everything; he’s living his dream and has managed to build up his night club to be popular and dreams of opening a casino. The problem is though the funding and business deal that he’d be part of is based on money from a loan shark, which is of course not a good place to start. Add to that police starting investigations into a drugs death in...

Title: Dont’s Let Him In Directed by: Kelly Smith Starring: Sophie Linfield, Sam Hazeldine and Gordon Alexander Running time: 79 minutes, Unrated Two couples in Britain take a holiday at a countryside cottage, which happens to be in the same vicinity of a serial killer. When an injured hitchhiker shows up at their door, each person begins to question if one of their own is the actual killer. In the special features section, director Kelly Smith states this film is sort of an homage to 70′s horror films. I agree with Smith, because after watching the film, I felt I’ve seen several other films with a similar theme. It’s been...

Be careful who you pick up on the highway while on holiday. Make sure you stop for a hot blonde but not a grizzled lout. Otherwise, your time away from work will be full of murder and prose of trees needing "to be fed." This is the lesson that Don't Let Him In teaches horror fans as Kelly Smith's first film is confined by its budget while still finding a way to use psychology to tragic effect. As well, a small cast, one primary setting and only a few camera tricks keep this picture in indie territory with the film slightly formulaic. The film is slightly conservative overall.

You know your movie is in trouble when Danny John-Jules gets top billing. If you don't know who that is, congratulations, you're not nerdy enough to be a fan of Red Dwarf, the BBC's long-running sci fi sitcom. In it, John-Jules played a sentient humanoid cat who dressed and talked like James Brown. For the most part it was more believable than this movie.

Sucker Punch is a remake of the Charles Bronson/James Coburn boxing movie Hard Times only in the way that a bunch of kids throwing rocks at each other is a remake of The Godfather. It has a dark horse fighter (Gordon Alexander) coming back into the London underground no-holds-barred boxing circuit, where he is soon taken under the wing of a sleazy fight promoter (John-Jules), who gambles away whatever they earn. The bad guy this time around is the beefy northern England Ufc fighter Ian "The Machine" Freeman,...

Rating: 7 out of 10

It.s never a good idea to go on vacation to a house/cabin/camp site in an isolated wood. You know you.re asking for trouble. That groups of friends continue to do so is testament to the power of story, naive behaviour and death wish. Now what happens when you take that vacation in the woods And invite a serial killer along?

Kelly Smith.s first feature is a movie inspired by fillms like The Hills Have Eyes, old school Hammer House, and I would say a dash of Friday the 13th. Shot on 16mm, which gives a grainy edge, the film delivers on the body count, has an awesome serial killer, and there.s a nice twist at the end. I felt the movie came in a little short at 85 minutes,...
