"I don't want him having this kind of life." Lionsgate has debuted the first official trailer for a gritty crime thriller titled We Die Young, the latest film starring Belgian badass Jean-Claude Van Damme (he's also in The Bouncer from last year). The film focuses on the struggles of gang life in Washington DC, telling the story of a 14-year-old boy inducted into a gang. He wants to keep his younger brother safe, but is already being scouted. When an war veteran comes into the neighborhood, they see an opportunity to find a revenge and get out before it's too late. In addition to Jcvd, We Die Young also stars Elijah Rodriguez, Joana Metrass, Jacob Scipio, Uriel Emil, Nicholas Sean Johnny, Joseph Long, and David Castañeda. So many of these forgettable action films being made, and despite starring Jcvd this doesn't look any good. Here's the first official trailer (+ two...

The London Short Film Festival served up a selection of mostly depressing fare. So why so few funny films?
Just over a year ago my friend Tim Mackenzie-Smith asked me to make a brief appearance in a short film he was making. The story was a simple one: an everyday bloke, Stephen Mann (Ryan Philpott), down on his luck and trying to get to an all-important job interview finds London ganging up on him and trying to thwart him in the guise of transport problems, hoodies trying to mug him, weirdos hassling him ("It's called Paruresis – when you can't piss in public") and various other mishaps.
It sounded amusing yet plausible, everyone has faced some kind of situation where they are late for an important event and then it seems the world is against them. I happily agreed, and it was an exciting and enlightening experience seeing how a film is actually made,...
