Haven't these guys seen "The Edge?" Bears eat people!
Regardless of the danger, James Marsden, Thomas Jane and Billy Bob Thornton are set to prove their mettle as they've signed on to star in the wilderness survival thriller, "Red Machine," according to Variety.
"Red Machine" tells the tale of two estranged brothers (Marsden and Jane) who reconcile while on a camping trip with their respective girlfriends; their great reconciliation in the great outdoors is interrupted when a giant grizzly bear known as 'The Red Machine' begins stalking them. Thornton is set to channel Robert Shaw in "Jaws" as a legendary bear expert and hunter who probably gets killed.
"Red Machine" will be directed by David Hackl, the man who took over the "Saw" franchise from Darren Lynn Bousman with the fifth installment, with newcomer J.R. Reher providing the script.

Share David Hackl has been recruited to direct Jack Reher’s script, The Red Machine. The movie follows two estranged brothers on a camping trip who find themselves up against a giant grizzly that has lost all fear of humans. Production designer on Saw III, Saw IV, Repo! The Genetic Opera and director of Saw V, Hackl has been neck deep in blood and gore for much of the last decade, which should give you an idea of the direction The Red Machine will take. The last cinematic duo to tackle a bear were Alec Baldwin and Anthony...

Here’s a movie pitch you don’t hear every day. Two estranged brothers go on a camping trip in the woods. Naturally, they come under attack from... A masked killer? A bunch of rednecks? Undead zombies? Nope. A bear. Well, that seems, likely. Saw V director David Hackl is shooting The Red Machine, which tells that tale. What this red machine is, and how it plays into the story remains to be seen, but the bear as a bad guy is something I can certainly get behind. This is...

Now that the debris from the great Saw sequel debacle has finally settled, we've been wondering what project Saw V director David Hackl would be tackling next. Finally some news has come.
According to The Wrap David Hackl (pictured right) is attached to direct Jack Reher's spec script The Red Machine.
The story follows two estranged brothers who go on a camping trip and are continuously attacked by an erratic bear that has lost its fear of humans.
Given that we haven't had a good killer bear movie in decades, the time just may be right for a good old fashioned claw-them-up. More on this as we get it.

If Stephen Colbert’s constant warnings on the subject of bears weren’t enough, and The Edge or Grizzly Man didn’t make us all aware that sometimes the furry beasts can be dangerous, then maybe Saw V director David Hackl can get the point hammered home with The Red Machine.Working from a script by Jack Reher, Hackl will shoot a movie that sees two estranged brothers on a camping trip find a reason to get over their differences when they come under assault from a bear that has apparently gotten over its fear of humans. Possibly because they keep leaving picnic baskets where it can reach them in Jellystone Park.There’s no studio attached to the film yet, but given that it’s been years since we had a bear-focused thriller (Winnie the Pooh doesn’t count), the time is clearly right for it.Hackl, meanwhile, is...

Another Saw director moves on as David Hackl (Saw V) is attached to direct Jack Reher's spec script The Red Machine, reports TheWrap. The story follows two estranged brothers who go on a camping trip and are continuously attacked by an erratic bear that has lost its fear of humans. Hackl served as the production designer on the second, third and fourth Saw movies. He also worked as the second unit director on Saw III, Saw IV and Repo! The Genetic Opera. Hackl was set to direct the seventh installment in the successful franchise, Saw 3D, but was forced off the project only two weeks before principal photography began by Twisted Pictures at Lionsgate's request, so that the studio could exercise a second picture option on Saw VI director Kevin Greutert in order to prevent him from directing Paranormal Activity 2, which is a rival horror franchise.

Director David Hackl may have found his muse in screenwriter Jack Rehr. The two announced their creative union in April when Hackl attached himself to Rehr's adaptation of The Butcher Bride ( interview with Hackl/Rehr here ). Over the weekend, Rehr contacted both the Wrap and Shock about his latest project with the director: The Red Machine . In the tradition of Grizzly and The Edge , this one follows a bear that has lost its fear of humans and begins to prey on two brothers on a camping trip. The film package is out to producers.

Following their collaboration on the short films Gandhi at the Bat and Scene, Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm premiered the UK release of their feature length debut, The Red Machine, at the Edinburgh Film Festival.
Despite its low budget the film has so far managed to gain some awards and it is easy to see the great potential within.
Taking place in 1935 Washington, DC at the peak of the Great Depression, cocky safecracker Eddie Doyle’s (Donal Thoms-Cappello) luck runs out and he is captured by the police and offered an opportunity to get his criminal record erased. The catch? He has to team up with the mysterious Navy spy F. Ellis Coburn (Lee Perkins) and steal a device that the Japanese military are using to encode their top-secret messages.

Carl catches up with The Red Machine at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Now, can someone make him a 1935 buddy movie?
The introductory scene in this film undoes the rest of the work in the film in less than a minute, which is quite a feat. It all starts in a Navy building in 1935, in which four men sitting in silence around a table are scribbling notes down and looking at Japanese symbols. They are code breakers, and they all seem to know their stuff pretty well, so when one of them gets a new code to break and doesn't understand it, the whole place comes alive with panic.
The red machine in question is a new coding machine built by the Japanese to send messages home from the States, and Lt F Ellis Colburn has been tasked to find it. Naval intelligence has given him a partner to work with too but,...

Two highly-anticipated second feature films from U.S. underground filmmakers will be making their World Premieres all the way over at the 64th annual Edinburgh International Film Festival, which will run for twelve days on June 16-27. The films are Rona Mark’s The Crab and Zach Clark’s Vacation!.
The Crab, which screens on June 21, is the touching story of a verbally abusive man born with two enormous, mutant-like hands; while Vacation!, which screens on June 20, tracks four urban gals let loose in a sunny seaside resort down South.
Both Mark and Clark previously screened their debut features at Eiff. Mark’s Strange Girls screened there in 2008 and Clark’s Modern Love Is Automatic screened in 2009. Both films also ended up as runners-up in Bad Lit’s annual Movie of the Year award, again Strange Girls in 2008 and Modern Love in 2009. Sadly, these two masterpieces are still unavailable on...

I hesitate to refer to these movies as leftovers because they're actually some of the highlights of the festival for me, but through my own fault, they just fell on the wayside as I was covering the Mill Valley Film Festival. So now I'm posting my late reviews of Larry Blamire's B-movie spoof Dark and Stormy Night, Noah Buschel's noir deconstruction The Missing Person, and Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm's period heist flick The Red Machine.
Coincidentally, all three films happen to sport a very retro feel and make use of outdated lingo effectively.

Larry Blamire continues with this film his spoofing of classic B-movies following the semi-popular Lost Skeleton of Cadavra (and its lesser known sequel), culled from the tradition of the Dark House pictures. The plot is of the familiar Agatha Christie variety: suspicious characters trapped in a closed-off space, dying...

The Mill Valley Film Festival opens tonight, filling the next 10 days with some of the most anticipated films of the rest of the year, as well as a selection of international films making its way to the Bay Area. In addition, the festival will also host the awarding of talents such as Woody Harrelson, Clive Owen, Uma Thurman, Jason Reitman and screen legend Anna Karina.
We'll have reviews coming in for the festival soon, but for the moment, here's a brief preview of what to look for.
Clive Owen gets a spotlight for bringing his latest work, the patriarchal drama The Boys Are Back, which opens the festival tonight. Owen plays a father who has to raise his two sons on his own after his wife's sudden death. As part of the program is a screening of Owen's breakout role in the gambling thriller Croupier.

Trailer for Korean rampaging giant pig movie Chaw. Jeong-won Shin directs a cast that includes Josiah D. Lee (The Red Machine) Yu-mi Jeong (A Bittersweet Life). The IMDb describes the movie as "a black comedy about the events that are set into motion in a town after a man-eating boar goes on a rampage."
While you might laugh, it's not the first time a movie has been made bout a giant boar on the rampage. I've always been a fan of Russell Mulcahy's (Resident Evil: Extinction) 1984 big box VHS classic Razorback. A film about a crazed giant boar that terrorizes the Australian outback.
