What’s New on DVD in March: ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ ‘Burning,’ ‘Kingdom of the Spiders’ and More
After writing the DVD Obscura column for years at Movies.com, TheWrap’s Film Reviews Editor Alonso Duralde brings it to its new home. In an age where niche and classic movies are harder and harder to find via traditional streaming services, it’s still worth maintaining a collection of physical media that can’t disappear from the internet (or even from your own online library).

Bero Beyer
Not all projects should be made or released just because they go through film labs, says Bero Beyer.

The new artistic director of International Film Festival Rotterdam (Iffr), Bero Beyer, has questioned the role of talent schemes across the industry, saying there is a need to curate “gems” among a glut of “mediocre” features.

Speaking on the second day of CineMart, Iffr’s long-established co-production market, Beyer said: “It seems as if the R&D department of the film industry has moved to funds and festivals, in particular to specialised talent development programs that have grown into alternate financing models for feature films.”

Beyer, previously an independent producer on films such as Paradise Now and Atlantic., said having the weight of a major festival behind a project provided an advantage to features from young filmmakers and was not typical of the indie film process.

“Several schemes have been initiated to create a space for artistic freedom,” he said...

Eddie Marsan, Martin Compston, and Gemma Arterton in La disparition d'Alice Creed (2009)
Alice Creed gets Dutch remake
Eddie Marsan, Martin Compston, and Gemma Arterton in La disparition d'Alice Creed (2009)
Kidnap thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed remade for Dutch audiences.

Producer Frans van Gestel is at the Rotterdam International Film Festival (Iffr) drumming up international interest in Joram Lürsen’s new thriller Reckless (Bloedlink), a Dutch remake of British kidnap thriller The Disappearance Of Alice Creed.

The film, produced by Oscar-nominated Dutch outfit Topkapi Films, is directly based on J Blakeson’s 2009 thriller, which starred Gemma Arterton, Eddie Marsan and Martin Compston
