Bulgaria has re-entered the International Film race for the 2023 Academy Awards with In the Heart of the Machine, directed by Martin Makariev.
The Bulgarian selection committee, chaired by Oscar-nominated Borat star Maria Bakalova, named In the Heart of the Machine (В Сърцето На Машината) as the country’s new entry after their original pick, Mother, was deemed ineligible by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences earlier this week due to more than 50 of the spoken dialogue track being in the English language. The country had until October 3 to submit a new film.
The Academy’s decision created confusion among the producers of Mother who believed their film was compliant with the rule amid calls for more transparency over how exactly the determination is made.
Based on a true story, In the Heart of the Machine is set in 1978, at the height of the communist rule in Bulgaria, and...

Brad Pitt is reportedly circling the title role in Pontius Pilate, a new interpretation of sorts on the man that ordered the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. A biopic is in the works at Warner Bros who acquired the script from Tortilla Soup writer Vera Blasi.
The 49-year-old actor is not committed, but is reportedly close to signing on for the title role in a big budget Biblical epic.
Instead of a straight-ahead biblical story, the script describes the titular character as a ‘proud, capable Roman soldier’ whose ‘arrogance and inability to grasp the devoutness of the citizenry and its hatred for the Roman occupiers and their pagan gods leads him to make catastrophic decisions’ to allow Jesus to be crucified.
The period drama about one of history’s most vilified figures also features the Roman emperors Caligula and Tiberius as well as New Testament figures such as John the Baptist,...

As revealed last autumn, Warners are planning to add to the recent spate of proposed Biblical epics with its own yarn based around Roman prefect Pontius Pilate. Deadline now reveals that Brad Pitt is circling the lead role. Reports that it's because he wants to wash his hands of World War Z remain unverified.The familiar version of Pilate is more or less the one played - rather well - by Hristo Shopov in Mel Gibson's The Passion Of The Christ, and by David Bowie in Scorsese's The Last Temptation Of Christ - although perhaps you prefer Telly Savalas in The Greatest Story Ever Told or Michael Palin's portrayal in Life Of Brian. He's the politician who orders Jesus' crucifixion, securing himself a role as one of history's greatest villains.There is plenty more to his story than that, however, and the idea of showing the character's younger...

Crazy Russian terrorists. They should have known better than to raid a concert where Dolph Lundgren is slinging drums. Before he shows up in Stallone’s “The Expendables”, you can catch Lundgren’s rock-and-roll actioner “Command Performance” when it lands on DVD later this year. Here’s your first look at the official trailer for the movie. Fyi: “Command Performance” doesn’t just star Lundgren, he also co-wrote the script with Steve Latshaw and directed. A Moscow charity concert turns bloody when armed extortionists take the head liner American pop-star Venus and the Russian President Petrov hostage. But help is on the way when the drummer in the warm-up band, a California ex-biker, and a young Russian F.S.B. agent team up to try to save the day. Things arent as simple as they appear, when old ghosts from the Soviet Union appear to haunt the world in this action-thriller starring Dolph Lundgren.
