Eric Paquette, former senior VP at Sony Pictures and MGM, has launched a new company, Meridian Pictures, with a focus on film and TV projects. Paquette said that he’ll be working with direct to consumer platforms, financiers and studios to fill their pipelines with “compelling stories for their specific audiences.” The projects in development include Papa Alpha Heavy, from writer Michael Walker, an action thriller set on a commercial airline. Gary Fleder is set to direct, and Chrisitain Mercuri’s Capstone is financing. Other projects Paquette is packaging include Meltdown, from screenwriter Jessica Postigo, based on the life of Bonnie Klea, the former Rocketdyne employee whose advocacy for worker victims of nuclear radiation exposure at the contaminated Santa Susana Field Laboratory led to a massive restitution program. Paquette will produce.

Kinetic, from Chris Dennis, is an action thriller where a truck drive has to deliver dangerous cargo to save his pregnant wife.

Seeking Justice is a film that was released in a limited number of theaters back in March and was quickly dismissed by most critics as “a typical potboiler with another phoned-in performance from Nicolas Cage” according to Rotten Tomatoes, where the movie stands at a measly 24%. So imagine my surprise when I pop in the Blu-Ray and discover that the film is really not quite that bad. Cage has never exactly been a master thespian, but as far as potboiling goes, the film has a bit to offer.

Will Gerard (Nicolas Cage) is an English teacher who is married to Laura (January Jones), a musician. One night, Laura is assaulted by a stranger, putting her in the hospital. It is there that Will is approached by Simon (Guy Pearce), who offers him the chance to get revenge on the man who did this to his wife. Will is obviously skeptical of the offer,...

Seeking Justice Directed by: Roger Donaldson Written by: Todd Hickey and Robert Tannen Starring: Nicolas Cage, January Jones, Guy Pearce, Jennifer Carpenter There’s a surprising amount of star power behind the newly released straight–to-dvd thriller Seeking Justice (the film had a very limited theatrical release). Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce, January Jones, Jennifer Carpenter, Harold Perrineau and Xander Berkely star in a story that slowly unravels a mystery concerning vigilantism run amok in modern day New Orleans. Cage plays Will, happily married to symphony musician Laura (January Jones) until she is brutally attacked and raped by an unknown perpetrator. Naturally Will is driven nearly mad over his anger and utter helplessness regarding the unfortunate event. While in the hospital, Will is approached by Simon (Guy Pearce) who offers to “take care” of the attacker for Will. He explains that he is from a secret syndicate of citizens who are...

Director Roger Donaldson has tried his hand at many different genres over the years; sci-fi (Species), disaster movie (Dante’s Peak), remake (The Getaway), comedy (Cadillac Man), historical epic (The Bounty) and ‘80s guilty pleasure (Cocktail) but one genre that he keeps returning to is the conspiracy thriller. His 1987 film No Way Out made Kevin Costner a star and was a tense Pentagon set thriller with killer twists. In 2003 he revisited the genre with the Colin Farrell and Al Pacino starring The Recruit which once again proved he was adept at handling the twists and turns of the genre. For his latest film, Justice starring Nicolas Cage and Guy Pearce released on Blu-ray and DVD this week, he returns for another crack at the conspiracy genre posing the question, what would you do?

Rating: 1.5/5.0

Chicago – “Seeking Justice” must have been such a juicy proposition on paper. Director Roger Donaldson is coming off his most interesting film in years (“The Bank Job”), Nicolas Cage is overdue for a quality drama, Guy Pearce is one of our most interesting actors, and the supporting cast includes a number of interesting actors with recent TV hits – Jennifer Carpenter (“Dexter”), Harold Perrineau Jr. (“Lost”), and January Jones (“Mad Men”). The only thing you’ll be wondering during this inert alleged thriller is where it all went wrong.

The premise of “Seeking Justice” is actually a decent one for this increasingly dangerous world. A man’s wife is raped.

Directed by: Roger Donaldson

Written by: Robert Tannen and Todd Hickey

Featuring: Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce, Harold Perrineau, Jennifer Carpenter, January Jones

In the canon of New Orleans crime film, Seeking Justice is the bad night on Bourbon Street.

It starts off promising. Not golden, but you get your hopes up. Director Roger Donaldson seems to be phoning it in a little, sure. Nic Cage is so energetic, though. There’s jazz and foreshadowing and Walt’s dad from Lost — this could turn out well.

Midway through Seeking Justice, you’re having a good time thanks to cheap swill. You know that the editing, the acting and the dialogue could be better, but fuck it — you’re here for a good time. By now, the storyline of a shadowy conspiracy of Big Easy vigilantes has flowered into car chases, a mystery and nifty Diy tricks to evade the law. The...

Director Roger Donaldson's (The Bank Job) dramatic new thriller, Seeking Justice (formerly The Hungry Rabbit Jumps), has yet to receive a U.S. release date, but it opens in Ireland and the U.K. tomorrow — under the even shorter title Justice — and three new high quality still images and six new preview clips from the movie have turned up online.

Written by Robert Tannen (Even Money), Seeking Justice stars Nicolas Cage as Will Gerard, a happily married high school teacher whose life is turned upside down when his musician wife (January Jones) is violently attacked. When Will is approached by a stranger named Simon (Guy Pearce) who offers to track down his wife's attacker and dispense street justice, he accepts without thought of the terrible price he will be asked to pay in return.

Remember that new crime thriller that Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) was directing in New Orleans? The one starring Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce and January Jones about a husband who enlists a vigilante group to seek retribution on the man who assaulted his wife? It had that bizarre but original name? What was it? Oh, yeah, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps? No? That's okay, because it's going by a new name now anyway. Or, rather, several names.

In the U.K., it's now called Justice, while here in the States it's Seeking Justice. The movie has yet to get a U.S. release date, but it has already opened in Italy and will soon open in several other European countries and a trailer for the U.K. release has just gone online. In addition, Collider has posted a batch of new still images from the movie.

The Hangover: Part Two

Opens: May 26th 2011

Cast: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifinakis, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong

Director: Todd Phillips

Summary: Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don’t always go as planned.

Analysis: It really wasn't until about three months before its release that Warner Brothers realised "The Hangover" was going to be a hit. Test screening response was through the roof, while the trailer had great reaction after premiering at ShoWest and online. About that time they commissioned director Todd Phillips, along with his "Old School" and "Road Trip" scribe Scot Armstrong, to pen a sequel. Yet they still waited to see how the first one went before fully committing to the follow-up.

The wait didn't last long.

The eleventh and last part (W-z) of my extensive 2010 preview guide I'm still at work on and should be hitting the site either Tuesday or Wednesday. Before that though it is time to plug a few holes.

With release dates always in flux, there is no true definitive list of films opening this year as the number of titles change day-by-day and many aren't really locked in yet. As a result, there's definitely been some guesswork assembling this list, albeit carefully considered and researched to try and fit in what will come out, what's important enough, and what can be reasonably done.

However, there are always titles that slip through the cracks. Thankfully some ever vigilant readers have been keeping an eye out and sent in some suggestions of key projects I've missed. Not everything can be included of course, otherwise this list would take forever, but there are fourteen...

As a chance of coincidence, a new casting announcement has arrived for the actress Jennifer Carpenter the same day as the Dexter season finale; a great Showtime series in which she stars. Probably trying to fill her hiatus, Carpenter has been cast for the indie thriller Hungry Rabbit Jumps.

For the fourth consecutive year Hollywood has selected its Black List, a compilation of the top unproduced screenplays for 2009. Over 300 film professionals were asked to submit the titles of up to ten of their favorite screenplays. The only condition for the picks were that the projects would not be released in theaters this year. That means some of the Black List honorees may be in the process of being turned into movies but by far the majority remain thoughts on digital ink, a blueprint for grand dramatic ideas, high-reaching adventure and controversial ideas waiting to be burned to light.

For a screenplay to have made it onto the Black List it must have received at least five votes for it. Some scripts have five votes while the top-rated screenplay received 47 votes. That doesn't mean that the script with the most votes is the best screenplay of the year; it means...

Guy Pearce has joined Nicolas Cage and January Jones in "Hungry Rabbit Jumps," the dramatic thriller from Endgame Entertainment. Roger Donaldson ("The Bank Job") is helming. Tells of a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime leading him to being entwined in an underground vigilante organization. The script is written by Robert Tannen and the $30 million-budgeted film is being produced by Tobey Maguire alongside Endgame's James Stern and indie producer Ram Bergman.

You know who we don’t really see enough of? Guy Pearce.

The Guy is proven talent, from Ravenous to Memento to The Hurt Locker, but for some reason has never really been given his chance to shine as a leading man in the public eye since the lackluster Time Machine remake.

The good news is that we’ll be seeing him again very soon, in Roger Donaldson’s The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. You may remember Donaldson from The Bank Job and The World’s Fastest Indian. Pearce is joining the film alongside Nicolas Cage and Mad Men’s January Jones, while no other casting details have been revealed.

The film, which will center around “a man (presumably Cage) who becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization after his wife (Jones) is the victim of a brutal crime” has been scripted by unproven screenwriter Robert Tannen. It sounds remarkably similar...

According to Production Weekly's most recent Tweet, actor Guy Pearce will be joining Nicolas Cage and January Jones in Roger Donaldson's (The Bank Job) new film, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps.

The script, written by Robert Tannen, tells the story of a man (played by Cage) who becomes entangled with a vigilante group when he goes out seeking retribution on those who assaulted his wife. Rabbit is being produced by Tobey Maguire's Maguire Entertainment and Endgame.

The Tweet from Pa also indicates that filming will begin in New Orleans in two weeks.

Guy Pearce | Nicolas Cage | Tobey Maguire | January Jones | Roger Donaldson | Robert Tannen...

Guy Pearce is to star in upcoming thriller 'The Hungry Rabbit Jumps'. The 42-year-old actor will star alongside Nicolas Cage in the Roger Donaldson blockbuster about an ordinary man who looks to a vigilante group for help when his gets assaulted. Exact details are not yet known, but Guy is expected to play either the leader of the dangerous group or one of the policemen involved in the case, while Nicolas will play the concerned husband and January Jones his wife. The storyline has been adapted for the big screen by Robert Tannen, who wrote the original story with Todd Hickey. Tobey Maguire and Ram ..

A very odd title for Nicolas Cage’s new film (to start shooting in 2 weeks time); then again, he’s spent his entire career playing odd people or making odd project choices. Production Weekly have announced Aussie Guy Pearce is joining the proceedings.

Described as a thriller, little is known about The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, other than it features a man turning to a gang of vigilantes after his wife (January Jones) gets attacked. Roger Donaldson is directing a debut script by Robert Tannen.

It is unclear how Guy Pearce fits into the story, but rumour has it, he’s bagged the role of the gang leader. It’s all a mystery at present. But with an intriguing premise, brilliant actors and surefooted direction – this could potentially be great. Nicolas Cage is always out looking for new and ever-stranger roles to play; and Pearce has carved out an excellent career for himself in Hollywood.

Following the new Bad Lieutenant, Nicolas Cage is heading back to New Orleans at the start of next year for the vigilante thriller Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Joining him, we've just learned, will be the comely and alliterative January Jones, who stars in Mad Men and who also just signed on for Unknown White Male.Jones plays Cage's wife (marriage to Cage and Liam Neeson in the same week: impressive, no?), the victim of a brutal crime that pushes Cage towards a vigilante organisation. "In the best Hitchcockian tradition", it says here, Cage gets in over his head. Action! Danger! Excitement! Eye-boggling and that little nervous laugh!Robert Tannen (Even Money) wrote the script, Tobey Maguire's company is producing, and the director is Roger Donaldson. Filming will presumably need to be completed before Cage starts work on Drive Angry in April, which makes for a tight schedule if Jones is...

Not surprisingly, it seems that things are going well for January Jones's career after her great work in Mad Men. In a recent page 3, we mentioned that Jones would be joining Diane Kruger and Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male. Now it seems she has another theatrical project lined up. Jones will be starring in Hungry Rabbit Jump, alongside Nicolas Cage as his wife. The film will be helmed by Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job, Thirteen Days), with a script by Robert Tannen (Even Money). We've known about the project since September, when Cage left The Green Hornet. The film concerns a man who is out for revenge after his wife becomes victim to a crime. He seeks out help from a vigilante group, and quickly gets in over his head. I'm not sure if we can rely on Cage not to give us a hilarious performance (somebody remind...

Nicolas Cage, who was rumored to be the villain in the upcoming Green Hornet movie, has officially walked away from the project in favor of something called The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, which sounds like the sort of code spies use to make sure they're dealing with the right contact.

First, the details on that film: It's a revenge thriller directed by Roger Donaldson. Interestingly, Tobey Maguire, who is producing through his cleverly named Maguire Entertainment brand, was going to star in the film about a year, a year-and-a-half ago when he picked up the script by Robert Tannen.

Cage will play a man shellshocked by the violent murder of his wife and joins The Hair Club for Men...I mean, an underground vigilante organization. So that part of the premise might be Ok. Sounds like a bloodbath to me.

Nicolas Cage has boarded "The Hungry Rabbit Jumps," a thriller that Roger Donaldson will direct for Tobey Maguire's Maguire Entertainment and Endgame.According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Robert Tannen-written script, which Endgame picked up last year, centers on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He later becomes involved with an underground vigilante organization.Maguire, who will not be acting in the production, is producing with Maguire Entertainment's Jenno Topping. Jim Stern produces for Endgame, which is financing. Ram Bergman is also producing. The movie is scheduled to shoot in January in New Orleans.

Nicolas Cage is keeping himself busy these days. Just one week after boarding Patrick Lussier's 3D action flick "Drive Angry," Cage has now signed on to play the lead role in a thriller titled "The Hungry Rabbit Jumps."

Heat Vision reports Roger Donaldson ("The Recruit," "The Bank Job") will direct the film from a script by Robert Tannen. Tobey Maguire and his Maguire Entertainment will produce the project.

As far as the plot is concerned, "Rabbit" follows a man who gets involved with an underground vigilante organization after his wife falls victim to a brutal crime.

Nicolas Cage is not literally a hungry rabbit but has hopped on board to star in The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Believe it or not, the film is actually a thriller, centering on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He subsequently becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization. The feature is written by Robert Tannen with Roger Donaldson, director of “The Bank Job”, helming the pic.

Hungry Rabbit Jumps will be under Maguire Entertainment, the production company from actor Tobey Maguire. Even though the Spider-Man actor will not be in front of the camera, he will be behind it serving as producer along with Jenno Topping, Ram Bergman and Jim Stern. Filming will start in January of 2010, no word yet on a settled release date. Currently Nicolas Cage is attached to a slew of projects, from Michael Gondry’s The Green Hornet, Kick Ass to the...

Over the past couple of years Nicolas Cage has shown just how big his appetite for thrillers really is. The actor just signed up for the action pic Drive Angry, and still has found a way to fit in The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, a thriller to be directed by Roger Donaldson.

Nicolas Cage for The Hungry Rabbit Jumps

Written by Robert Tannen, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps centers on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He subsequently becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization. Tobey Maguire will produce through his Maguire Entertainment banner. Jim Stern will produce for Endgame, which is financing the production.

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that just a few days after signing onto the 3D revenge film, Drive Angry, Nicolas Cage has signed on to star in the Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) thriller, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps. Add this to Drive Angry and Cage’s reported in-talks involvement with The Green Hornet, and the actor looks to have a busy time ahead of him.

Along with Donaldson directing, The Hungry Rabbit Jumps is written by Robert Tannen (Even Money), and will be produced by Tobey Maguire (through his Maguire Entertainment venture) and Jim Stern (through financier, Endgame). The film, which was picked up last year, sees Cage as a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. The shattered husband then gets entangled with an underground vigilante organization to (I assume) get revenge on those responsible.

If revenge is the road the film goes down, then The Hungry Rabbit Jumps...

We previously posted an article wondering why Nicolas Cage was selling eight out of his eleven houses. We know that he has a $6 million IRS debt, but even one of those houses will bring in more than that. Many of you might have also noticed that Cage is taking starring roles in more projects than usual. While he previously averaged two films per year, he now has six movies lined up for 2010 and several more for 2011. That's more than what Samuel L. Jackson has going on. Just a week ago, we reported that Cage would star in a revenge thriller "Drive Angry," and it has now been announced that he has also boarded "The Hungry Rabbit Jumps," a thriller that Roger Donaldson (The Bank Job) is directing. The Robert Tannen-written script centers on a man whose wife is the victim of a brutal crime. He subsequently becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization.

On its blog Heat Vision, The Hollywood Reporter writes that Nicolas Cage has signed on to star in the upcoming thriller Hungry Rabbit Jumps. The news comes just one week after the announcement that Cage would star in another revenge flick, Drive Angry.

Hungry Rabbit Jumps is being directed by Roger Donaldson, who also helmed Thirteen Days, The Recruit, and The World's Fastest Indian. The script by Robert Tannen involves a man who becomes entangled with an underground vigilante organization after his wife falls victim to a brutal crime.

Tobey Maguire is acting as one of the movie's producers (through his company, Maguire Entertainment), and the movie is reportedly scheduled to begin filming in New Orleans this coming January. Also producing is Jim Stern of Endgame, who commented briefly on the project:

As a company, we've been wanting to do a thriller for a long time ... In the best of the Hitchcockian tradition,...

Nicolas Cage will play a vigilante in thriller The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, says The Hollywood Reporter. Roger Donaldson (Thirteen Days) is directing the project from a script by Robert Tannen. It centres on a man who joins an underground organisation to seek revenge on the men who brutally attacked his wife. Tobey Maguire will serve as a producer through his Maguire Entertainment firm, while Jim Stern (more)...

Nicolas Cage is keeping busy at the moment: with Kick-Ass and The Sorceror's Apprentice in the bag, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans doing the festival rounds and 3D action film Drive Angry already lined up. But for the 5 minutes he's got spare in the meantime, he's signed on to star in The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, a vigilante thriller to be directed by Roger Donaldson.Based on a script by Robert Tannen (gambling drama Even Money), Cage will play a man whose wife is the victim of a violent crime, who becomes involved in an underground vigilante organisation as he tries to deal with the aftermath. Producer Jim Stern described the plot to The Hollywood Reporter, saying, "In the best of the Hitchcockian tradition, we've got a character who's offered the chance for vengeance and he finds himself in over his head."The rest remains under wraps, but we'll...

At the tail end of last month news broke of a new action movie called Drive Angry that Nicolas Cage has committed to star in. He still is going to star in that film which starts rolling in April but now Cage has found another paycheck to earn before Drive Angry gets rolling.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the comic book Coppola will topline The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, a thriller that will shoot in January in New Orleans (the same place where Drive Angry will lens.) Get this: the story will have Mr. Ghost Rider playing a man whose wife is a victim of a brutal crime, so he gets caught up somehow in an underground vigilante group that ferrets out justice on criminals. Sounds like Fight Club meets The Star Chamber meets Death Wish. At this rate it's pretty much a given that if you're playing a son, daughter...
