The coronavirus pandemic has not deterred Los Angeles-based actor-filmmakers Darwin Shaw and Will Hawkes.
The duo has launched “The Antiviral Film Project” in recent weeks as a collage of 19 shorts made by 19 film crews from 19 global communities for 19 charities, leading to three films that will be produced in traditional fashion once self-isolation ends.
“The Antiviral Film Project aims to create a new kind of international motion picture anthology about the global Covid-19 experience,” said Shaw. “It will be a journey told in three chapters — Isolation, Connection and Emergence. We will be documenting the process of virtual development in real-time, producing episodic behind-the-scenes content, taking you on the journey with us and ultimately leading to a three picture cinematic experience.”
“It is a participatory event, and our vision extends far beyond the pandemic,” said Hawkes. “We want to harness the energy of this shared focus to create stories that provide catharsis...

Coming to terms with the explanation of his mother's untimely death, Alex (Dillane) turns to spiritual contact after the relationship with his father breaks down.

"I can't really tell you how to do it, I can only describe how I did it." Vertical Entertainment has released the first official trailer for an indie horror thriller from the UK titled Astral, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Chris Mul. The film's story follows a metaphysics university student who discovers the practice of "astral projection" and the scientific possibility of a dimension outside our own. Coming to terms with the untimely death of his mother, Alex turns to astral projection in an attempt to reconnect with her. Of course, evil never dies. Astral stars Frank Dillane as Alex, with Vanessa Grasse, Damson Idris, Catherine Steadman, Trevor White, and Darwin Shaw. At first glance, this seems pretty much like every other demonic spirit horror film out there, I'm not really sure what makes it unique. But it's worth a look anyway. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Chris Mul's Astral,...

New Son Of God movie delivered a mediocre version of Jesus' story & more. 20th Century Fox released their new drama flick, "Son Of God," into theaters this weekend. I just checked it out, and thought it was pretty mediocre at best. I actually thought the 2000 TV version ,named "Jesus," delivered a much better version of the Jesus story. This one stars: Diogo Morgado, Greg Hicks, Adrian Schiller, Darwin Shaw, Sebastian Knapp, Joe Wredden, Simon Kunz, Paul Marc Davis, Matthew Gravelle, Amber Rose Revah, and Roma Downey. Basically, this movie was just another rehashed telling of the story of Jesus the Christ, and it really came off that way. It showed his humble birth and all of his most popular miracles he performed like healing the crippled man, finding all the fish in the water, raising Lazarus from the dead ,and more. We also saw the drama he incurred with Pharisees,...

When we first meet the hero of Son of God, a kind of chintzy melodrama about the horrors of capital punishment, he’s approaching a fisherman with a classic boiler-room pitch: "Just give me an hour, and I will give you a whole new life," Jesus (Diogo Morgado) promises Peter (Darwin Shaw), this messiah’s self-amused look and extra dimples suggesting the face of different J.C.: Jim Carrey. Often, working a miracle, he looks as pleased as a professional magician dazzling with a trick. Peter agrees to hear him out and is rewarded with a holy fish bounty. We never really hear the rest of what Jesus says to him, which is a shame. That 60-minute presentation would be a gift in comparison to this kid-traumatizing 138-minute nails-in-the-hands storybook, a movie that sh...

'White Lies' is what one might term an 'Ariadne-centric' episode of Atlantis - a bit of a blank slate at first, Aiysha Hart's enchanting princess has displayed fiery flashes of personality in the past few weeks. Here, caught in the middle of a family crisis, she finally takes something approaching centre stage.
With Ariadne locked away in her ivory tower and Jason down among the peasants, the story-of-the-week gives the pining pair an excuse to finally share some meaningful screen time after weeks of brief, longing glances.
What we're subsequently treated to is a little teen-romance-by-numbers - conversations through locked doors, Jason catching the briefest of glances as his lady love changes clothes - but Hart and her scene partner Jack Donnelly are both charming performers who make this familiar 'will they / won't they' shtick watchable.

1.5 White Lies
First up, let's recap the action of this week's Atlantis.
Whilst a mysterious stranger breaks into the palace and attacks Ariadne, Hercules is betting on beetles. The intruder passes a note to Ariadne, before being injured and caught, setting Ariadne on her own mission, whilst he suffers at the hands of Pasiphae and her dark ways. Thankfully, Ariadne has a plan that involves duping Jason into escorting her handmaiden and it is soon discovered that the poor, mysterious stranger was delivering a note to say that Ariadne’s brother, Therus, the betrayer of his Kingdom, is actually very much alive and well, seeking justice for the lies that have been told about him.

If you read my lengthy exploratory piece examining my theories with regards to Ridley Scott's Prometheus you'll remember on the first page where I mention in the opening scene there originally were two Engineers seen, not just one. Well, instead of just the concept art from "Prometheus: The Art of the Film" as seen above, now courtesy of a Facebook page belonging to Connor O'Sullivan (via Prometheus Forum) we have the following image that shows what the Elder Engineer (played by Matthew Rook) actually looked like. Scott has already said there will be upwards of 28 minutes of deleted scenes on the Prometheus Blu-ray (pre-order it here) and Darwin Shaw, who plays one of the Engineers seen later in the film, commented on Twitter saying, "You'll have to wait for the Directors cut for the full opening scene!" Personally, I can't wait to see how the full scene plays out...

Bappaditya Bandopadhyay, producer of Sri Lankan filmmaker Vimukthi Jayasundara's third feature film Mushrooms announced today that the film will be part of the Directors' Fortnight selection, which is set to be officially unveiled in about T-minus 36 hours. Jayasundara's debut film The Forsaken Land did quite well for itself when it premiered in Cannes in 2005, winning the Camera d'Or for best debut feature. His next film, Between Two Worlds, premiered at the 2009 Venice Film Festival, and while it didn't win anything, it's picked up some heavy acclaim from the few who have seen it (filmmaker Dan Sallitt lists it in his Top 10 list for 2009). Mushrooms cast includes Hollywood actor Darwin Shaw (Casino Royale, Prince of Persia), who will apparently play a Spanish soldier in the film, as well as Bengali actress Paoli Dam (Kaalbela). Few details are known about the plot so far for this sampling of South Asian film,...
