Most of the time, Ethan Hawke is an indicator of quality -- or, if not that, then an ambition to make something meaningful. He's always taken the craft of acting seriously (something that spurred a good-natured war of attrition between him and Robin Williams while filming "Dead Poets Society"), but he's not haughty about it. He played a vampiric hematologist for The Spierig Brothers in 2009's "Daybreakers" and even joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe with his role as an Ammit-worshipping weirdo who pours glass shards in his shoes for "Moon Knight." Also, let's not forget that time he decked himself out in garish accessories to play the incredibly-named Jolly the Pimp in Luc Besson's eye-popping space opera "Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets" (a reminder that bad people can make spectacular art).

Alas, 2013's "Getaway" is the rare occasion where it's hard to imagine Hawke having signed...

Happy Wednesday "Grey's Anatomy" fans. Today, we've got a brand new report to share with you guys in reference to the new, upcoming 15th season of your favorite show. It turns out that a new casting development has occurred that will be bringing a new, handsome doctor into the mix! According to a new report from the folks over at TV Line , the show's production team has hired actor Chris Carmack to come on and play a recurring character who will be an orthopedic surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial hospital. He will also have the nickname "ortho god" which I suppose means he's definitely mastered his craft. You guys can view photos of Chris Carmack on his official IMDb page by Clicking Here. Unfortunately, there are no other details available for this new character. We don't have a name for him yet or any other details about his life. Hopefully,...

Reality television shows can take a wrong turn into horror especially when a demonic possession is involved.

From former reality TV producer Seth Grossman, “Inner Demons” follows an intervention-style reality show crew trying to film a sixteen-year-old girl fighting a drug addiction. However, she was suffering from something even more destructive—a demonic possession. The movie is an inquiry into the truth about her—with symptoms between the disturbing and scary intersection of insanity, addiction and true possession.

The film stars Lara Vosburgh and Morgan McClellan.

Latino-Review was granted an exclusive interview with Grossman to discuss the production of this horror film. We talked about the young actress, the worlds of addiction and demonic possession and even relating the behaviors of hyenas to demons.

“Inner Demons” is playing in select theaters and available on VOD today.

Latino-Review: Tell me on how you were approached for...

Following a similar path with “Paranormal Actvity" start at a film festival, the movie “Inner Demons” revives the found footage horror films at the Los Angeles Film Festival this year.

The truly scary movie takes a different tact with an intervention reality television show trying to save a young girl from drug abuse. Unbeknownst to the production crew, family and rehab center, the girl is actually possessed by an evil spirit trying to get out.

The film marks the first starring role in a feature film for Lara Vosburgh. It is directed by Seth Grossman (“The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations”).

Latino-Review had an exclusive sit down interview with Vosburgh and Grossman after their screening at the film festival. We discussed the idea of found footage, horror movies in general and the challenges in acting and makeup.

If past years are any indication, Comic-Con will begin releasing its official 2011 panel schedule later today (Wednesday) with the schedule for Preview Night, Wednesday, July 20. If that happens then we can expect them to follow suit for the rest of the days, so that Thursday will see the release of the Thursday of Con schedule, etc., through Sunday.

Once the official schedules are posted these “TV and Movie Panels and Screenings Updates” will be scaled back to just the date, time, title, and location, since the rest of the information and So Much More (including comics panels, autograph signings, etc.) will be available on the Comic-Con schedule link we’ll provide. Consider this, then, the last of the extremely long posts, and hopefully we’ll be getting that official schedule soon.

Hmm, here’s an interesting matchup: Glee will be in Hall H on Sunday at 10:00; Supernatural will be...

Comic Con announcements are gearing up, and Relativity Films has a whole slate of films to bring to comic book fans this year. Check out the full list and panel times after the jump.

The second update but absolutely not the last. We have yet to hear from the major networks, Syfy, TNT or USA about their panels. More to the point, we have yet to hear from Comic-Con, at least as to the official schedule.

Underwater dangers seem to be back in demand these days (movie-wise, that is). We had Piranha 3D earlier this month, along with its proposed sequel in development, and now news hits that Shark Night 3-D is moving forward in production. Those unfamiliar with the project might ask, "Who would be directing a film called Shark Night 3-D?" Well, it's none other than Snakes on a Plane director David Ellis. With a resume that also includes two of the Final Destination films, Ellis certainly has a handle on creative deaths and gore, which makes him a perfect fit for the material. Casting for the film has already begun as several of the lead actors have been announced. Sinqua Walls (Friday Night Lights), Chris Carmack (The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations), Alyssa Diaz (Red Dawn), and Joel David Moore (Avatar) will play some of the young men and women who "spend a weekend...

The casting roulette wheel is spinning really friggin' fast! That's right, kids! More potential victims have been announced for the Vegas based Hostel Part III, and they're ready to bet on red. Blood red.

Bloody Disgusting reports that Brian Hallisay ("Eastwick", "Bones") and Sarah Habel (pictured right, The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations) have joined the previously announced Kip Pardue in Hostel Part III.

Scott Spiegel will be in the director's chair working from a screenplay by Michael Weiss. Hostel Part III will head to Vegas, where a bachelor party goes anything but well. Eli Roth will return to produce.

Look for more soon!

I wish I had the chance to interview more compatriot composers here, but fact is there are very few Hungarian film composers I could talk to. Adam Balazs is one of them - although he lives in Los Angeles, he recently completed his first score to a Hungarian movie: Szíven szúrt ország is a documentary about the murder of a handball player whose tragic death brought forward many unresolved issues within the country. In addition to this new documentary, Ádám's new movie The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations will have a soundtrack CD released pretty soon, which is a first for the composer (although several of his scores are available through download options). We discussed these and a number of other projects in the following interview:

How did your interest in music begin?

I grew up in a fully musical environment — my father is a distinguished classical composer and before her retirement,...

One upcoming comic book-movie adaptation that we haven't had any news of lately is an adaptation of the Top Cow title Magdalena. But thanks to MTV, we just got an update from the screenwriter herself.

The movie already has a cast, a writer, and a director. Magdalena chronicles the adventures of a direct descendant of Mary Magdalene named Patience, who protects the world against evil using a variety of supernatural powers. Writing the script is Holly Brix (The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations) and set to direct is Japanese filmmaker Ryûhei Kitamura, who made his Us debut with The Midnight Meat Train. Set to star as Patience is Step Up actress Jenna Dewan, along with Luke Goss as her mentor, Kristof.

Even though Brix hasn't officially begun writing the script, here's her take on how the movie will go:

Obviously, I read all the comics and we talked about different versions of the story,...

There's an under-the-radar project we haven't written about yet called Magdalena. It's an adaptation of a Top Cow comic book that already has a cast, a writer, and a director. Magdalena chronicles the adventures of a direct descendant of Mary Magdalene named Patience who protects the world against evil using a variety of supernatural powers. Writing the script is Holly Brix (The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations) and set to direct is Japanese filmmaker Ryûhei Kitamura, who made his Us debut with The Midnight Meat Train. Set to star as Patience is Step Up actress Jenna Dewan, along with Luke Goss as her mentor, Kristof. MTV just talked with the screenwriter, Holly Brix, who talked openly about what she's planning to do, even though she hasn't even officially started writing. Here's one of her better answers about choosing a story. "Obviously, I read all the comics and we talked about different...

Last we heard from the "Magdalena" camp, the upcoming adaptation of the Top Cow property had landed "Midnight Meat Train" director Ryûhei Kitamura to helm the project, with "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" writer Holly Brix penning the screenplay.

Chronicling the adventures of a direct descendant of Mary Magdalene who protects the world against evil using a variety of supernatural powers, "Magdalena" already has its stars in "Step Up" actress Jenna Dewan (playing the heroine, Patience) and "Hellboy II" actor Luke Goss (playing Patience's mentor, Kristof). Last year, we featured a week of video interviews with Dewan (we've embedded some of them in this post), and now we thought we'd check in with the new "Magdalena" writer to see where the project's at these days—and where she's planning to take it.

MTV: Where is the film at right now? Where are you in the process?

Holly Brix: Right now,...

Marc Silvestri, best known in comics as a renowned artist on the “X-Men” titles, one of the cofounders of Image Comics, Top Cow CEO and executive producer of the big-screen adaptation of “Wanted”, is taking on the executive producer role again for an upcoming comic book adaptation. Variety and MTV Splashpage are reporting that he has found a director for “Magdalena”, a big-screen adaptation of the long-running Top Cow character that will star Jenna Dewan and Luke Goss. Ryûhei Kitamura (”Midnight Meat Train”) will be directing. Writer Holly Brix (”The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations”) and producers Gale Anne Hurd (”Terminator 2″) Platinum Studios head Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, [...]...

Jenna Dewan is preparing to star as heroine Patience in the 2010 live action film 'Magdalena', which is based on a popular Top Cow comic book.

In the film, Patience discovers that she's a part of the lineage of female warriors descended from Mary Magdalene who fight supernatural evil. The film also stars Luke Goss who plays Kristof, an agent sent by the secret organization that has been the guardian of the Magdalena lineage.

Before Jen begins the rigorous training she will have to go through for the film, she is accompanying Chan on his current 'G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra' around-the-world press tour.

Via her new official Twitter Jenna let us know from London this morning that Japanese director Ryuhei Kitamura ('Midnight Meat Train') has now been chosen to helm 'Magdalena', and feels that "he is such a unique visionary".

In Variety we get a few more details.

Producer Gale Anne Hurd, who seemingly has a love for comic book adaptations after having produced two version of The Hulk and The Punisher for the big screen, has now teamed up with Platinum Studios to bring Top Cow’s comic The Magdalena to your local multiplex. In case you’re not familiar, The Magdalena concerns a descendant of Jesus and Mary Magdalene who is a soldier for a secret order of cardinals who fight evil in its many forms.

She has the ability to see into people’s hearts and give them a chance to redeem themselves. She also wields the Spear of Destiny, a spear that pierced Jesus’ side during the crucifiction, as a weapon against the forces of darkness. Versus, Midnight Meat Train and Godzilla: Final Wars director Ryuhei Kitamura has been tapped to take on the directing chores for the film.

Holly Brix, whos past credits...

Former X-Men artist, Image co-founder and Top Cow CEO Marc Silvestri seems to have found a new niche in Hollywood production. The "Wanted" executive producer will repeat that role on his company's next movie adaptation "Magdalena" with newly announced director Ryûhei Kitamura.

Valhalla Motion Pictures and Platinum Studios signed Kitamura, who most recently directed Clive Barker's "Midnight Meat Train." Also new to the "Magdalena" team is "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" writer Holly Brix. Silverstri's production team for the religious history-inspired action tale includes Gale Anne Hurd of "Terminator 2," Platinum Studios head Scott Mitchell Rosenberg and Top Cow president Matt Hawkins, according to Variety.

The movie, slated to star Jenna Dewan and Luke Goss, follows Top Cow's original title character, a descendant from Jesus Christ's bloodline via Mary Magdalene. Endowed with the ability to look into human hearts and show evil-doers the errors of their ways, Magdalena uses her...

Gale Anne Hurds Valhalla Motion Pictures, Platinum Studios and Top Cow Productions have attached Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus, Midnight Meat Train) to direct and Holly Brix (The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations, Mile Zero) to write Magdalena. Plot details remain under wraps, however what is known is the basic premise of the Top Cow comic of the same name, about the protector of the Catholic Church who is descended from Christs bloodline and wields the Spear Of Destiny as her weapon of choice. Jenna Dewan (the only good thing about that turd Tamara) and Luke Goss (Doomsday, Hellboy II: The Golden Army) are attached to star.

Director Ryuhei Kitamura and writer Holly Brix are attached tol "Magdalena," a film developed around the Top Cow Prods.' comics character.

Magdalena, a descendant of Mary Magdalene, is a protector of the Catholic Church.

Valhalla Motion Pictures' Gale Anne Hurd and Platinum Studios' Scott Mitchell Rosenberg are set to produce. Top Cow's Marc Silvestri will exec produce with Randy Greenberg of the Greenberg Group.

Kitamura, repped by CAA, directed "Midnight Meat Train" for Lionsgate and Lakeshore. Brix, repped by Icm and BenderSpink, wrote "The Butterfly Effect 3: Revelations" for Lionsgate and After Dark Films.

Jenna Dewan ("Step Up") and Luke Goss ("Hellboy II: The Golden Army") are attached to star.

Okay, this is the part where I start sweating bullets. I'm not a hundred percent sure I've found the dog of the After Dark Horrorfest yet, and if it's going to happen anywhere, it's probably going to happen here. This is the one no one saw coming, the third iteration of a movie that was a vastly worse result than its good idea implied it would be.

See, I love time travel stories. Call it personal bias, but I love, Love!, seeing what happens when you change something about the past. It's amazing how much of what we know about our lives depends on so very little. Just alter one thing and suddenly the entire world you know is different, the chain of cause and effect wrapping around your entire life to affect everyone you've ever come in contact with, and everyone They've ever come in contact with and so on,...

We originally reported that Anthony Leonardi was in talks to get behind the camera for the third Butterfly Effect film... sometimes it doesn't always pan out. We learned this afternoon that Seth Grossman will direct the newly titled Butterfly Revelation (Butterfly Effect: Revelation) for After Dark Films. We were also tipped off that Chris Carmack will topline as Sam Reed in the film, which was written by Holly Brix. A fatal fire in his childhood has somehow given Sam Reed the capacity to travel back in time -- a "psychic" talent that, thus far, he has used to help fight crime. But, in order to save an innocent man from the death chamber, Sam travels back to try and track the real killer of an old love -- and winds up ripping a hole in the fabric of the past and unleashing a vicious serial slayer on an unsuspecting world.
