The transient lifestyle of two brothers is put to the ultimate test in the first trailer for The Motel Life. Emile Hirsch and Stephen Dorff star as these vagabonds who live on the outskirts of Reno, Nevada. After one of them is involved in a fatal accident, they must decide whether to run or face the music. This drama from directors Alan Polsky and Gabe Polsky co-stars Dakota Fanning, Kris Kristofferson and Joshua Leonard, arriving in limited release on November 8.

The Motel Life explores the intense bond between two brothers living on the fringes of Reno, Nevada. They grew up depending on each other and their big imaginations to escape the challenges of their transient life. When one of the brothers is involved in a fatal accident, it forces both of them to choose between running or facing reality. It is a story of brotherhood, shared dreams and the redemptive power of hope.

The Walking Dead’s Norman Reedus stars in the film adaption of John Buffalo Mailer’s “Hello Herman” – which is directed by Michelle Danner, Artistic Director at Edgemar Center of the Arts and one of the most successful acting coaches in Hollywood. The film is currently available on On Demand and iTunes, and is based on the play of the same name. Reedus is joined in the film by Martha Higareda and newcomer Garrett Backstrom. In a press release, Danner stated: “’Hello Herman’ is the story of a teenager who, out of confusion and rage, carries out a high school shooting that mirrors the tragedy of Columbine. Certain members of the media only heighten the tragedy by sensationalizing it and...

We’re back with another edition of the Indie Spotlight, highlighting recent independent horror news sent our way. Today’s feature includes release information for The Frozen Ground, details on the film version of Hello Herman, starring Norman Reedus, multiple trailers, impressions of Zombie Massacre, and much more:

The Frozen Ground Theatrical Release Details: “The Frozen Ground is inspired by the incredible true story that follows Alaskan State Trooper Jack Halcombe (Nicolas Cage) as he sets out to end the murderous rampage of Robert Hansen (John Cusack), a serial killer who has gone unnoticed for 13 years. As the bodies of street girls start to pile up in Anchorage, fear strikes a chord with the public. Risking his life, Halcombe goes on a personal manhunt to find the killer before the next body surfaces. When a seventeen year old escapee (Vanessa Hudgens) reveals key information about the case, Halcombe is finally...

Missed Targets: Danner’s Film After-school Special Fodder

Reveling in the fact that it was made before the latest rash of mass shootings, including 2012’s Aurora, Colorado’s theater massacre, Michelle Danner’s ungainly sophomore effort, Hello Herman still fails to have a timely edge or any other quality of merit, for that matter. Rather, this poorly constructed social issue film is fitted for the same destiny as one of its characters as is outlined by the main protagonist in the film, a footnote to a rather lengthy list of unremarkable footnotes. That’s not to diminish the profound tragedy that is the result of such horrific violence, and exploring the how and the why of these incidents is of paramount importance. While Danner avoids exploitative tactics, her film, unfortunately lacks any kind of elegance or finesse, instead bluntly bludgeoning its audience with the obvious, exuding all the grace of high school theatrical production.

Quentin Tarantino appearing onscreen usually signals the worst five minutes of an otherwise strong movie. Director Michelle Danner, emoting and unmoored as the grieving mother of Herman, a high-school shooter who grants a video blogger exclusive interview rights, occupies a similarly low point in her film—but in Hello Herman, the valleys aren't such a far cry from the peaks. Herman (Garrett Backstrom) turns the tables in his prison interviews to interrogate popular ethics blogger Lax Morales (The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus) about an incident that occurred as the reporter was undercover with a white power group a few years prior. As Lax tries to understand what prompted Herman's attack, we're presented with flashbacks of the usual suspects: neglectful parents, viol...

Check out the new poster and trailer for director Michelle Danner’s Hello Herman. The film, which has its world premiere screening this weekend at the Hollywood Film Festival (at the Arclight Theater in Hollywood), will open in theaters February 2013. Hello Herman features Norman Reedus & Garret Backstrom and explores themes concerning bullying.

The film is about a sixteen year old (Garrett Backstrom) who makes a fateful decision. He enters his suburban high school and kills thirty nine students, two teachers, and a police officer. Just before his arrest he emails his idol, journalist Lax Morales (Norman Reedus). “I want to tell my story on your show.” Lax, haunted by his own fateful past and the loss of his love Isa Luz (Martha Higareda), now sits face to face with Herman. As he helps Herman to explore and understand his demons Lax must finally face his own.

Hello Herman stars Norman Reedus...

The new trailer for Michelle Danner's sophomore directorial effort "Hello Herman" plays like a mashup of "Capote," "American History X," "We Need to Talk About Kevin" and "Fight Club." That's a good thing. "The Walking Dead"'s Norman Reedus stars here as an elite journalist with a haunted past, in a chronicle of a particularly devastating school shooting. Herman, the perpetrator of the massacre, is played by newcomer Garrett Backstrom, whose hairless cheeks and palpable desire to be taken seriously evince more than a passing likeness to Justin Bieber. "I'm not the average 16-year-old," Herman tells Lax (Reedus), whom he has singled out for access to his story. "I'm America's worst nightmare." Herman's rage appears to have grown from a now-predictable history of playground bullying and locker room torment, but the origins of Lax's demons -- if his bare-knuckle...

Who are you most excited to see?...

I recently had the chance to sit down with actor Stephen Dorff to chat about his turn as Stavros in the upcoming 3D epic Immortals, which hits theaters November 11. We also talked about a number of upcoming movies Stephen Dorff stars in, such as The Motel Life, Boot Tracks, and a movie he starred in and produced entitled Brake. Take a look at what he had to say below.

"I did a really cool movie last year called The Motel Life, with me and Emile Hirsch, Dakota Fanning, and directed by the Polsky Brothers. They're new directors who have produced a lot of movies like Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. This film is really strong. I play a character with one leg, so it was really challenging. It's probably one of the best scripts I've ever read in this business, and I've been doing this for a long time.

Read our exclusive interview with acclaimed actress and acting coach Michelle Danner, who’s making her feature film directorial debut with the upcoming drama ‘Hello Herman.’ The movie, which features newcomer Garrett Backstrom in the title role, follows the 16 year old as he kills 39 students, 2 teachers and a police officer in his school. He then e-mails pictures of the incident to his idol, journalist Lax Morales, played by Norman Reedus. Danner, who also runs the Edgemar Center for the Arts in Los Angeles, discusses with us, among other things, why she was motivated to tell Herman’s story, and what Garrett and Norman’s working relationship was like.
