"I studied all the legendary fights! Ali." "What do you know about Ali?" Lionsgate has revealed the trailer for a sports drama called Uppercut, opening in late February next year. This is a German production made by a German filmmaker and starring a German actress though it's also an English-language film set in the world of boxing.

When Elliott, a tough ex-boxing champion, accepts the challenge to train Toni, the two mismatched characters form an unlikely alliance. Starring Luiii (aka Luise Grossmann) as Toni, Ving Rhames, Jordan E. Cooper, Joanna Cassidy, Scott Monahan, Andrew Ibach, and Lynn Favin. This is the director's third time telling this story - he made the German version Leberhaken in 2021, then "Uppercut: the still version" in 2023, and...

Further openers are Sony’s ’Equalizer 3’, Mub’s ’Passages’ and Lionsgate’s ‘Cobweb’ .

Two brothers drive to Alaska to sell a haul of stolen drugs and gain a higher price – if they don’t neck them all on the way

There are definitely irksome components in this microbudget drama set largely inside a creaking Cadillac, but there are redeeming features as well. In the debit column, there are way too many vaguely admiring montages that show the sibling central characters Jake and John ingesting a pharmacopeia of drugs, from “roxy” to heroin. Likewise, a lot of the naturalistic dialogue is a tad repetitive, like the long debates over whether they should sell all the drugs they have stolen (currently hidden in teddy bears in the trunk of the Caddy) in Los Angeles or Anchorage, Alaska. In the latter city, their illicit haul would fetch a much higher price – but only if they don’t neck it all first on the way.

A lot...

Screen Media has picked up North American rights to Anchorage, a drug-fueled road trip thriller from first-time director Scott Monahan. The Mise En Scéne Company, which is handling worldwide sales on the film, also signed a deal with Bulldog for U.K. rights.

Anchorage premiered at the Oldenburg International Film Festival, where it won the German independence award for best film, as well as the best actor nod for co-star Dakota Loesch, who also wrote the screenplay.

In the film, Loesch and Monahan play brothers Jacob and John who attempt to drive a trunk full of stolen opioids from Florida to Alaska to cash in big. But a split-second act of violence in the California desert derails their plans and sets them on a crash course with tragedy. Since its Oldenburg premiere, the film has traveled the festival circuit, building up word-of-mouth and winning numerous awards.

Anchorage, Scott Monahan’s dark drama about two brothers who take off on an ill-advised drug-running mission to Alaska, has won the 2021 Oldenburg International Film Festival, taking the German Independence Award for best film.

An intense road trip that engages and sometimes entertains even as it heads toward very dark places, Scott Monahan’s Anchorage refuses to dismiss its two fringe-dwelling protagonists (played by Monahan and screenwriter Dakota Loesch) as soulless or dumb. The brothers, headed north on an ill-conceived drug-running mission, may harbor antisocial tendencies, but conversational wit balances their dumber moments, and a bond of grief has turned brotherly love into fuel for a plan that’s more desperate than they seem to realize. Though it holds little commercial promise under current theatrical conditions, the pic is more than alive enough to fuel interest in ...

Lovers of camp cinema and the Drive-in horror classics of the 1950s have a new reason to celebrate. In 2017, we're getting the sure to be classic I Was a Teenage Wereskunk. Today, we have the trailer for this dumpster diamond. And we have a poster that gleefully screams, 'Half man, half skunk, all stink!'

Beware: This trailer will scare the smell out of you! Neal McLaughlin directs I Was a Teenage Wereskunk as an homage to the works of John Waters.
