Astral Release Details: "Coming to terms with the explanation of his mother's untimely death, Alex turns to spiritual contact after the relationship with his father breaks down. As a student of metaphysics, Alex learns of the "scientific" premise of astral projection-the ability to project your spirit into an unseen spatial dimension. Attempting to astral project, Alex becomes plagued by shadow spirits-malevolent entities vying to enter his body to access our world. Alex soon learns that he is not the only member of his...

Given the jazz-inflected complexities and somber, introspective tone of Joni Mitchell’s most vibrant work, the skill and magnetism of the artists who took the stage on the first of two nights celebrating her 75th birthday at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion at L.A.’s the Music Center felt all the more impressive. Over the course of a breathless two-and-a-half hours, a carousel of musicians — some of her decades-old familiars like Graham Nash and James Taylor, others fresher talents like Brandi Carlile and Norah Jones — took turns paying tribute to...

Kids. Such as Sex, Lies, and Videotape or Reservoir Dogs before it, and such as Winter’s Bone, Blue Valentine and Fruitvale Station after it, Larry Clark & Harmony Korine’s seminal film is forever connected in “spirit” to the lieu where it received its secret midnight premiere screening in 1995. The Sundance Film Festival might be known as the birthplace of U.S indie filmmaking innovation, avant-gardism, a larger definition of the low budgeted film response to Hollywood in not only narrative but in the non-fiction form, but it is a festival made strong by its renewal and familiarity. That close acquaintanceness exists in Kids‘ starlets Rosario Dawson and Chloë Sevigny filmography/career path trajectory and connection to Park City (both have several indie films slated for ’14 – of which I’ve included in our predictions list) and it is that “familiarity” that is visibly noticeable in how I map out my annual predictions list.

Jennifer Lawrence, House at the End of the Street Jennifer Lawrence stars in House at the End of the Street, Mark Tonderai’s horror / thriller to be released by Relativity Media on September 21. The video below makes House at the End of the Street’s house at the end of the street look more than a little like Psycho’s Bates Motel. Jennifer Lawrence has the Janet Leigh role (minus the shower scene and the all that stabbing), while Max Thieriot comes across as a rebooted version of Anthony Perkins‘ Norman Bates. Now, does Thieriot have a sister — instead of a mother — fixation? In addition to The Hunger Games‘ Lawrence (a Best Actress Oscar nominee for Debra Granik’s Winter’s Bone) and Foreverland / My Soul to Take’s Thieriot, House at the End of the Street also features Elisabeth Shue (a Best Actress nominee for Mike Figgis‘ 1995 drama Leaving Las Vegas,...

FilmNation and A Bigger Boat companies are hoping the answer is yes. Currently in development is a horror film known as "House at the End of the Street" which they are billing as a horror thriller that is supposed to be what "Psycho" as "Disturbia" was to "Rear Window."...

Interesting concept and one that would fit in with a culture of remakes and retreads but the plot doesn't seem to suggest such a blatant rip. "House" focuses on a teen girl (Jennifer Lawrence) who moves with her mom to a new town and learns that their home is across the street from a house where a double murder took place. Complications ensue when the teen befriends the massacre's sole surviving son (Max Thieriot)." Not exactly sure where the comparisons are coming from but obviously the studio has more up their sleeve.

The script is being written by Jonathan Mostow, director of "Terminator 3" and "Surrogates,...

FilmNation and A Bigger Boat companies are developing "House at the End of the Street" horror thriller and are aiming for the project to be to "Psycho" what "Disturbia" was to "Rear Window." "House" centers on a teen girl (Jennifer Lawrence) who moves with her mom to a new town and learns that their home is across the street from a house where a double murder took place. Complications ensue when the teen befriends the massacre's sole surviving son (Max Thieriot). The story is written by Jonathan Mostow, director of "Terminator 3" and "Surrogates," and is adapted for the big screen by David Loucka (Borderline, The Ring 3D). Producers are looking at a mid-July start in Ottowa.

Crash and King Kong star Naomi Watts will play opposite Daniel Craig in the upcoming Jim Sheridan (Brothers) thriller Dream House from Universal.

Picked up last year, the story, written by David Loucka (Eddie, Borderline), centers on a family “that relocates into what appears to be the ideal residence in small town Connecticut. However, a father (Craig) and his family are disturbed to discover that their beautiful new home was the site of another family’s slaughter, believed to be at the hands of the husband who survived. Watts plays the family’s neighbor.”

Production is set to begin later this month with a 2011 release.

Daniel Craig has committed to star in the psychological thriller Dream House, which is to be directed by Jim Sheridan (Get Rich or Die Tryin').

In the story, Craig plays a New York publishing executive who relocates his family to a small New England town, only to learn that their new home was the scene of a vicious murder.

Dream House was written by David Loucka (Borderline), and will be produced by James G. Robinson along with David Robinson, Daniel Bobker and Ehren Krueger.

Craig is currently preparing to star opposite Hugh Jackman in the Broadway play "A Steady Rain", by John Crowley.

Dream House is scheduled to start shooting on January 25, 2010.

Daniel Craig (Casino Royale) has committed to star in the psychological thriller "Dream House," which will be directed by Jim Sheridan (Get Rich or Die Tryin') and is set to start shooting on January 25th. Craig plays a New York publishing executive who relocates his family to a small New England town, only to learn that their new home was the scene of a vicious murder. "Dream House" was written by David Loucka (Eddie, Borderline). Craig is about to star in the Broadway play "A Steady Rain," by John Crowley. Hugh Jackman is his co-star.

Daniel Craig is in early talks to star in "Dream House," a psychological thriller Jim Sheridan is expected to direct for Morgan Creek.

David Loucka ("Borderline") wrote the script, which follows a man and his family as they move to a peaceful town and discover their new home is haunted by its former inhabitants.

Even though I don't have any other details as far as the story is concerned, this just sounds like something we've seen a gazillion times already, right? I mean, how many recent 'haunted house' flicks actually delivered the goods?

Anyway, Craig recently starred in "Quantum of Solace" and "Defiance." He will also lend his voice to Red Rackham in Steven Spielberg's upcoming "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn."...

James Bond star Daniel Craig is in talks to star in psychological thriller Dream House, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Jim Sheridan is in line to direct the project for American film studio Morgan Creek. Sheridan's previous credits include In the Name of the Father (1993), The Boxer (1997), In America (2002) and Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005).

In the screenplay by David Loucka (who penned the 1996 Whoopi Goldberg comedy Eddie and 2002's thriller Borderline), Craig would play a man who moves his family to an idyllic small town, only to find his house haunted by its former inhabitants who were murdered there.

Craig, the new 007 in Casino Royale and last year's Quantum of Solace, had previously been in Layer Cake and Munich and was more recently in The Golden Compass and Defiance. He is set to return for the as-yet-untitled Bond 23.

He recently signed for the Broadway drama A Steady Rain...
