‘Spring’ Trailer: “I Don’t Think You’re Ready For Where This Is Going”

Spring was one of the movies that had the most people talking at Fantastic Fest last year, and it was the one I was most bummed to miss. It comes from writer/directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, who previously made the intense and unsettling film Resolution, and features Lou Taylor Pucci as an American backpacker who meets a beguiling young woman (Nadia Hilker) in Italy… and then discovers that she has secrets that set her apart from every other girl he’s ever met. This Spring trailer is pretty great, starting off with a pretty normal tone before getting really weird. Check it out below.

I’d heard a lot about Spring at the end of last year, but tried to stay fuzzy on the details, and this trailer shows just enough. Whatever that creature shot is, just as the title card comes up, would probably be enough to get me into the theater even if I hadn’t heard consistently great things about this movie. I don’t want to see any more than this, but I’m definitely hooked based on this look.

Spring will hit theaters and VOD on March 20. Trailer via Collider.

Evan (Lou Taylor Pucci, Evil Dead, Thumbsucker) is a young American fleeing to Europe to escape his past. While backpacking along the Italian coast, everything changes during a stop at an idyllic Italian village, where he meets and instantly connects with the enchanting and mysterious Louise. A flirtatious romance begins to bloom between the two – however, Evan soon realizes that Louise has been harboring a monstrous, primordial secret that puts both their relationship and their lives in jeopardy.

The ‘Frozen’ Stage Show Moves Forward With Familiar Creative Team

As the unfathomable success of Frozen continues to sustain, Disney is being very careful with how they exploit the title. They’re slowly but surely rolling the film and its characters into theme parks. There are no immediate plans for a sequel, but a short film will be out in March. And there have been talks of a stage adaptation too, which just took a major step forward.

The Frozen stage show just officially announced its writers, songwriters and director. Good news, Frozen fans, they’re familiar. The writer and director will be Jennifer Lee, the co-director of the film. Then Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, the Oscar-winning duo behind the songs in the original film, are doing the songs for the show. So basically, the Frozen musical is in capable, familiar hands. Read more on the Frozen Broadway musical below.

The Hollywood Reporter reported the Frozen Broadway news. Apparently, the Daily Mail ran an unconfirmed report that the musical was aiming at a 2017 release with Alex Timbers directing. Here’s the statement reacting to that from Thomas Schumacher, the president and producer of Disney Theatrical Productions:

As has already been announced, Disney Theatrical is working on a stage adaptation of the animated film Frozen. It will come as no surprise that the EGOT-winning Broadway veteran Robert Lopez and the Oscar and Grammy winning Kristen Anderson-Lopez, who wrote the indelible songs for the film, will be working on the show and that Oscar winner Jennifer Lee, co-director and screenwriter of the film, will be working on the book of the stage version. No other staffing or dates have been announced.

That’s not to say the 2017 date isn’t possible, just that they aren’t locked into anything – at least publicly.

There are also expectations the Lopez’s will be writing new songs for the show but that, too, is as yet unconfirmed. They pretty much have to though as every single Disney Theatrical production has added new songs to the original source material to make the show longer than the usual 90 minute run time.

Are you looking forward to a Frozen Broadway update?

When Bears Attack: First Trailer for the Nature Thriller 'Backcountry'

Stephen Colbert has always had an inherent fear of bears (at least until he made peace with them before the end of his show), so the latest man vs. nature thriller Backcountry would probably be the most terrifying thing next to encountering a real bear. The film played at TIFF to some pretty solid reviews, and now it’s poised to hit limited theaters this spring. The thriller follows Missy Peregrym and Jeff Roop as a couple who end up being terrorized by a man-eating bear while on a romantic camping trip. It’s clearly a monster tale on the scale of Jaws or Jurassic Park, and if you’re timid about camping this won’t help. Watch below! ›››

In addition to the return of Jason Bourne in a new film directed by Paul Greengrass, he’s working on The Martian for release this year, and is set to star in Downsizing with director Alexander Payne. In addition, he’s also got The Great Wall at Legendary Pictures from director Zhang Yimou, and the action adventure has just gained a new cast member.

Of Course 'Mission: Impossible 5' is Getting an IMAX Release in July

Briefly: Last month brought surprising news that Paramount Pictures bumped up the release of Mission: Impossible 5 by five months. The film was originally supposed to arrive on Christmas Day, but has now been set for release on July 31st. And now the studio has just announced the film will unsurprisingly get an IMAX release on the same day it hits traditional theaters.

Berlinale 2015: Oliver Hirschbiegel's New WWII Thriller '13 Minutes'

If only he had 13 more minutes, the world would be an entirely different place. The new film from German director Oliver Hirschbiegel (Das Experiment, Downfall, The Invasion), titled 13 Minutes, premiered at the Berlin Film Festival this week. It’s a solid thriller that tells the true story of carpenter Georg Elser, a resistance fighter who designed a bomb and attempted to kill Hitler in 1939, but was unsuccessful by only 13 minutes. It feels very much like Germany’s response to The Imitation Game, highlighting an individual who tried to impact WWII for the better and wasn’t recognized by his country for many years. It’s also everything that Valkyrie should’ve been, but wasn’t, and explores Georg’s life leading up to and after the bombing. ›››

Reese Witherspoon & Sofia Vergara in First Trailer for 'Hot Pursuit'

“We have been set up, shot at and hunted down.” If you watched The Heat and thought to yourself, “Hey, I wish this was more like Midnight Run,” then we have some good news for you. Hot Pursuit stars Reese Witherspoon as a feisty, uptight police officer tasked with escorting the widow/potential witness (Sofia Vergara) in an important investigation of a drug lord. But of course, shit goes down, and the two are forced to go on the run. Witherspoon and Vergara seem like a fun enough mismatched pair, but the comedy is a little broad, though I do like the bit about the news messing up their height and age respectively. Watch! ›››

Jeff Bridges to Lead Lake Bell's 'The Emperor's Children' Adaptation

After pulling double duty in 2010 with TRON: Legacy and True Grit, it’s been a rough few years for Jeff Bridges with duds like R.I.P.D., The Giver and The Seventh Son. But maybe he can turn it around with his new project, an adaptation of Claire Messud’s novel The Emperor’s Children that will be directed by actress Lake Bell for her sophomore directing effort following In a World a few years ago. The film hails from Imagine Entertainment with Brian Grazer and Ron Howard producing from a script by Noah Baumbach. THR reports Bridges will play legendary journalist and liberal opinion-maker Murray Thwaite. ›››
