Meet Patricia Dumbrowski, a.k.a. Killa P. a.k.a. White Trish, a.k.a. Marilyn Mansion. Maybe you know the plus-size young woman from suburban New Jersey by the nickname the local knuckleheads have christened her with: Dumbo. Or maybe you know her by the wannabe white-girl rapper by her stage name, Patti Cake$. In between working works dead-end jobs and tending bar in a seedy dive, the aspiring Mc writing rhymes, spits battle raps in gas station parking lots and freestyles at her own determined reflection in the bathroom mirror.

From the streets of Compton to the cars of the Dubai….and London….and Rio….and Los Angeles.
Following the recent success of Straight Outta Compton, director F. Gary Gray is moving to one of the biggest franchises in Hollywood as The Hollywood Reporter reports that he is set to direct Furious 8 next. This comes a week after a report that Universal was struggling to find someone to take it over with fear star Vin Diesel would want to direct also.
According to the report, Gray beat out Louis Leterrier, Adam Wingard, and William Eubank for the job. Leterrier would’ve been a safe pick after he made two successful franchise films with The Incredible Hulk and Now You See Me. Eubank is a small director with two credits — Love and The Signal — to his name at this point.

As the hunt for a director to Fast & Furious 8 continues, the search is now down to four potential names, it's revealed...
We recently heard the strange story that one of the biggest franchises on the planet is struggling to find a director. With Fast & Furious 7 breaking the $1.5bn barrier and its sequel pegged for a 2017 release, The Hollywood Reporter suggested that Universal had offered Fast 8 to several filmmakers - who'd all turned it down.
James Wan, Justin Lin and Jaume Collet-Serra were all offered the Fast 8 gig, and all passed because they had other plans - Wan has Robotech and Aquaman, Lin has Star Trek Beyond, and Collet-Serra appears to be busy with The Shallows, which has something to do with a shark.
With the clock ticking on a huge, stunt-heavy production, Universal has, according to Variety, drawn up a shortlist of potential directors - and there's some interesting choices on here,...

Actress Ambyr Childers is quickly making a name for herself in different genres on television and in movies. Since taking her first job in the BBC comedy series S Club 7 in L.A., she's moved on to bigger opportunities like a role in the popular long-running American soap All My Children and supporting characters in The Master, Gangster Squad, 2 Guns, and several others. With Vice, Childers re-enters the world of science fiction she first dabbled with in the award-winning 2011 independent film Love.
I had the pleasure of interviewing Ms. Childers about her work on Vice. She shared her experiences working with Bruce Willis and tells readers what to expect from the movie. Childers also expands on her role of Kelly the "Artificial" and takes us behind the scenes of the making of the film.
How did you get involved in Vice?
Kelly, my character, pulls a machine gun on Bruce Willis!

★★☆☆☆ In 2011, first-time director William Eubank constructed a replica of the International Space Station in a driveway, out of odds-and-ends, and within it staged a flawed but ambitious science fiction saga called Love. For his next trick, he has crafted another low-budget sci-fi yarn that is just as visually admirable, but even more problematic overall. The Signal (2014) seeks to augment a tight, two-handed chamber piece with American indie sensibility, not to mention a found footage-style detour. Where Love's reach for profundity provided reason enough for viewers to look past some of its more clunky aspects, this sophomore feature suffers from failing to provide such audacious cover fire.

Ahead of Interstellar's launch, here's a selection of 10 underappreciated sci-fi films about space travel...
Christopher Nolan's Interstellar wears many of its influences proudly. The director has openly said that his film is inspired by such acclaimed pieces of cinema as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Philip Kaufman's The Right Stuff, as well as the human warmth of Steven Spielberg's 80s output. Interstellar depicts a near future where life on Earth teeters on the brink of extinction. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former test pilot turned farmer, joins a last-ditch mission to enter a wormhole in space and find a new home for humanity; he realises that the only way to save his family is to leave it behind.
It's the latest film to tap into our fascination with the depths of space - a topic that has been explored many times since the earliest days of cinema.

Hulu's seven-episode series "The Hotwives of Orlando" lampoons Bravo's "Real Housewives" franchises in exactly the right ways: The catchphrases, the melodrama, the sham marriages, and the frightening fights are all parodied with very close attention to detail. Creators Dannah Phirman and Danielle Schneider have a cast of game ladies in their Florida-set series, including Schneider herself (who plays Shauna Maducci, the "bankrupt overspender"), "Happy Endings"/"SNL" vet Casey Wilson as trophy wife Tawny St. John, Tymberlee Hill as Phenomenon "Phe Phe" Reed, Andrea Savage as cougar Veronica Von Vandervon, Angela Kinsey of "The Office" as religious zealot Crystal Simmons, and "30 Rock" vet Kristen Schaal as drug-addled former child star Amanda Simmons. HitFix caught a few minutes to interview Wilson, Hill, Savage, Schneider, and Phirman. Instead of asking them to name their favorite "Housewives" franchise or terrifying dream about Andy Cohen, we asked them to pick their favorite ladies from famous pop culture groups.

The Academy has announced the new class of invited members for 2014 and, as is typical, many of which are among last year's nominees, which includes Barkhad Abdi, Michael Fassbender, Sally Hawkins, Mads Mikkelsen, Lupita Nyong'o and June Squibb in the Actors branch not to mention curious additions such as Josh Hutcherson, Rob Riggle and Jason Statham, but, okay. The Directors branch adds Jay and Mark Duplass along with Jean-Marc Vallee, Denis Villeneuve and Thomas Vinterberg. I didn't do an immediate tally of male to female additions or other demographics, but at first glance it seems to be a wide spread batch of new additions on all fronts. The Academy is also clearly attempting to aggressively bump up the demographics as this is the second year in a row where they have added a large number of new members, well over the average of 133 new members from 2004 to 2012.

Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o of 12 Years a Slave were two of the 271 artists and industry leaders invited to become members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which determines nominations and winners at the annual Oscars. The entire list of Academy membership—which numbers about 6,000—isn’t public information so the annual invitation list is often the best indication of the artists involved in the prestigious awards process. It’s worth noting that invitations need to be accepted in order for artists to become members; some artists, like two-time Best Actor winner Sean Penn, have declined membership over the years.

Pop quiz: What do Chris Rock, Claire Denis, Eddie Vedder and Josh Hutcherson all have in common? Answer: They could all be Oscar voters very soon. The annual Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences invitation list always makes for interesting reading, shedding light on just how large and far-reaching the group's membership is -- or could be, depending on who accepts their invitations. This year, 271 individuals have been asked to join AMPAS, meaning every one of them could contribute to next year's Academy Awards balloting -- and it's as diverse a list as they've ever assembled. Think the Academy consists entirely of fusty retired white dudes? Not if recent Best Original Song nominee Pharrell Williams takes them up on their offer. Think it's all just a Hollywood insiders' game? Not if French arthouse titans Chantal Akerman and Olivier Assayas join the party. It's a list that subverts expectation at every turn.

Scrambled Transmission: Eubank’s Sophomore Effort Relies on Visual Strengths
William Eubank expands his brand of cerebral sci-fi with sophomore effort, The Signal, following up from the 2011 space set debut, Love (which might be interesting to revisit after the success of Gravity). With incredible ingenuity, this lo-fi concept is showcased within an amazing visual design, and the fantastic look of the film blends perfectly with a creepy and unnerving set-up. However, about mid-way through our main characters’ ordeal, substance begins to feel a bit eschewed for style, the narrative hitting a rather stale plateau as it coasts to a dramatic third act with a compounded twist that would have seemed more effective had there been sharper development of its ideas.

When William Eubank made his first film "Love," it was a personal obsession filmed in a set that he built on his family's property and left standing for years. It was funded by the band Angels & Airwaves, and their score was also their third album, a big double-album release. When I saw the film, I thought it was remarkable mainly as an example of just what is possible when someone sets their mind to it. The film didn't really work on a script level, but it suggested that Eubank is capable of great things visually, and that he could stretch a dollar well past the breaking point. His new film "The Signal" made its premiere as a midnight entry at Sundance this year, and I've been chewing on it since seeing it. I have some issues with the film as a narrative, but I am fairly sure at this point...

The Signal
Written by Carlyle Eubank, William Eubank, and David Frigerio
Directed by William Eubank
USA, 2014
Whether or not we are alone in the universe is an age old question that has racked the brains of mankind for millennia. Extraterrestrial life has been explored and researched countless times over. We have not received a definite answer to the question of whether aliens exist or not but it seems that motion pictures and other forms of art have attempted to answer that question for us. Science fiction allows us to create creatures and worlds that reach out into deep space. The Signal attempts to continue this eternal quest for knowledge and present alien life in a believable, sometimes scary fashion. Unfortunately, the film doesn’t do a very good job at answering the questions it asks.

This Friday, Focus Features is bringing up-and-coming filmmaker William Eubank’s sci-fi road trip mash-up The Signal to limited theaters after its impressive premiere at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival. Daily Dead recently spoke with Eubank about the inspiration behind the story of The Signal and his experiences behind the camera as well.
Eubank also discussed working with his highly talented ensemble for The Signal including Laurence Fishburne, Lin Shaye and Brenton Thwaites, how he pulled off some rather impressive visual effects on a modest budget and whether or not he has future film plans for the world that he created.
Thanks so much for speaking with me today. I’m really impressed with the amount of story and ambition you were able to put up on the screen for The Signal. Can you start off by discussing where the story idea came from originally?
William Eubank: Thanks so much!

A dreamy atmosphere is established early in William Eubank's sophomore feature The Signal, holding the promise that the story could go, literally, anywhere. It's a haunting, lonely, moody, deliberately-paced atmosphere that's reminiscent of Eubank's debut, Love, which was set aboard the International Space Station. Initially, The Signal follows three young friends traveling across the U.S.; the open landscapes remind that the countryside between cities is often as empty of people as outer space itself. Nic (Brenton Thwaites), his girlfriend Haley (Olvia Cooke), and his best friend Jonah (Beau Knapp) enjoy an easy comfort on the long trip, yet there's a sense of disquiet between Nic and Haley. She's moving away for a year, and her decision has edged her relationship with Nic to the breaking...

It's hard to pinpoint exactly when William Eubank’s "The Signal" goes from being an alluring and contained science fiction thriller into a full blown parade of slow-motion-driven visual effects. Its irreverent stylistic choices range from found footage to romance tropes and a heavy dose of high-tech alien robotics. The director's sophomore film, following his debut "Love," is defined by immeasurable ambition. While that previous effort reached for existentially profound ideas, here the narrative and its numerous components suffer from a gratuitous, empty feel. The first half of the film plays like a road trip horror flick that a trio of young adults in the search of a notorious hacker known as Nomad, who infiltrated MIT's server. In order to assert their superiority and challenge this achievement, internet outlaw Nick (Brenton Thwaites), Jonah (Beau Knapp), and Haley (Olivia Cooke) embark on a quest to the Southwest to uncover the identity of the assailant.

It isn’t easy getting your first feature off the ground, but William Eubank managed to pull it off and in a rather unconventional manner. He didn’t attend a traditional film school or track down an industry contact willing to give him a shot. Eubank entered a Red Hot Chili Peppers music video contest – and lost. But he did wind up with quite the consolation prize – the band Angels and Airwaves agreed to both produce and score his first feature, “Love.” After four years of work that included building a fully realized space station set, writing, directing and shooting the film himself, Eubank wound up with a final product [ Read More ]

How I Learned to Stop Worrying About Being Cool and Love Blink-182 'Enema of the State' turned 15 this week, so I guess this is growing up. by Liam Mathews I was nine when Blink-182's album Enema of the State came out on June 1, 1999. I was much younger than the adolescent (stunted or otherwise) subjects of songs like "What's My Age Again?" or "The Party Song," but the songs still resonated with me. Maybe it was the way the songs worked the same way as a can of Mountain Dew, blasting sugary, overly caffeinated energy through my body, or the juvenile sense of humor, which had an obsession with balls and farts and stuff that was hilarious to me as a nine-year-old, and still is now, let's be real.

Just after the viral marketing for the indie sci-fi flick The Signal kicked off last week, we got the first trailer for the film that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. Now a second poster has arrived for the film, and it's pretty trippy. A walking, radiation-suited figure (maybe Laurence Fishburne) is given a kaleidoscopic effect, and it's just a stylish image that catches the eye and even creates a bit of mystery. This is such a cool movie, and we hope audiences will seek it out this summer and enjoy the ominous feel, the twists and turns, and just an original sci-fi flick amongst a pool of franchises, sequels and reboots. Look! Here's the new poster for William Eubank's The Signal from Focus Features (click for large version): The Signal is directed by William Eubank (Love), who also co-wrote the script with newcomers Carlyle Eubank and David Frigerio.

Look, as much as we may want to we can’t possibly see every movie that plays Sundance or any other given film festival. Part of the problem is the sheer quantity of films playing, but even beyond that there will always be movies that slip beneath our radar. Also, if I’m being completely honest, sometimes sleep is far more appealing than the thought of trudging out into the snow for a midnight of a movie you’ve heard nothing about. So yeah. We missed The Signal at this year’s Sundance film fest, but while I’ve been okay with that for the past couple months the new trailer below has me regretting that decision. Director William Eubank‘s second feature (after the Angels & Airwaves film, Love) looks to be a sci-fi-tinged thriller about a trio of young people who are understandably terrified and confused after a close encounter with Laurence Fishburne.

Eubank recently caught our attention with his debut, the visually amazing Love, which he filmed in his parents' rather spacious backyard. We are very excited to see what he has come up with next. The Signal rolled out at Sundance this year in the midnighters program. The Signal is directed by William Eubank (Love), who also co-wrote the script with newcomers Carlyle Eubank and David Frigerio. Nick (Brenton Thwaites) and Jonah (Beau Knapp) are MIT freshmen and serious hackers. While driving through Nevada with Nick's girlfriend, Hailey (Olivia Cooke), they follow rival hacker Nomad's...

The first trailer for the Sundance sci-fi thriller The Signal has been released, and it looks very promising. The film is directed by William Eubank, who previously helmed Love, a sci-fi flick commissioned by the alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves, that garnered him acclaim and media attention world wide. The Signal stars Brenton Thwaites, Olivia Cooke, Beau Knapp and Laurence Fishburne and set to be released sometime in June. The synopsis reads: Three college students on a road trip across the Southwest experience a detour; the tracking of a computer genius who has already hacked into MIT and exposed security faults. The trio find themselves drawn to an eerily isolated area when suddenly, everything goes dark. When one of the students, Nic, regains consciousness, he is in a waking nightmare. Watch the video below. Enjoy!

Director William Eubank (Love) is helming the sci-fi thriller The Signal. This spectacular looking film was written by a trio of writers: Carlyle Eubank, William Eubank and David Frigerio. This trio have created a strange reality, in which three college students find themselves in a security web, in an isolated locale. The Signal stars Sarah Clarke ("24"), Olivia Cooke ("Bates Motel"), Laurence Fishburne, Jeffrey Grover and Beau Knapp. The film's first trailer is here! The story for the film is somewhat vague. However, three friends begin a short road trip. Their trip finds a detour, in the form of a computer hacker. Soon, all of the characters end up in a very slippery version of consciousness, which turns into a living nightmare. The Signal had a recent appearance at the Sundance Film Festival (Jan., 2014). The film will also see theatres in North America this Summer, June 13th, 2014. Fans of sci-fi, horror...

A lot of movies play the Sundance Film Festival so we're not able to see everything, and "The Signal" was one of those things we missed this year. But perhaps we should have tried harder to make this one. The first trailer for the mysterious sci-fi thriller is here, and the combination of dazzling visuals and an enigmatic hook has grabbed our attention. Rising star Brenton Thwaites and Laurence Fishburne feature in William Eubank's ("Love") latest, which seems to involve trouble with the titular signal, some kind of major conspiracy and some pretty eye-popping action. We'd explain the plot if we could in a few words, but this longer synopsis will do a better job of setting things up: Nick and Jonah are MIT freshmen with a passion for hacking. While driving cross-country through Nevada with Nick’s girlfriend, Hailey, they follow rival hacker Nomad’s clues to a location 180 miles away.

We first heard of director William Eubank a few years ago when he erupted onto our radar with Love (review). I didn't love that movie, it was a bit too abstract in concept for my liking, but I loved Eubank's visual style and how he mixes music and images. He showed promise as someone to watch and it looks like with his follow-up, another sci-fi offering titled The Signal, he may manage to deliver on his initial promise.
The Signal follows a group of college students on a road trip who are veered off course and into the middle of the desert by a computer genius who has hacked his way into the MIT system, exposed security faults and, from the looks of the trailer, [Continued ...]...

Following yesterday's viral reveal of the teaser poster and new first look photos for the Sundance selected sci-fi film The Signal, the first trailer has finally arrived. Thankfully, this full trailer is a tease in every sense of the word. We get a vague sense of the story, but the mystery is preserved and all of the cool twists and turns are kept under wraps. It has a flares of Chronicle and The Matrix, though Laurence Fishburne is in the interrogation role this time as Brenton Thwaites finds himself confined in some sort of strange base for an unknown reason. Alex loved this film at Sundance, and we can't wait for you to see it. Watch! Here's the first trailer for William Eubank's The Signal, originally from Apple: The Signal is directed by William Eubank (Love), who also co-wrote the script with newcomers Carlyle Eubank and David Frigerio.

And in the end, it was a predictable Oscar night! The frontrunners were true frontrunners with "12 Years a Slave" taking home the Best Picture trophy while "Gravity" won all technical awards. In the acting categories, Cate Blanchett won Best Actress, Matthew McConaughey was awarded the Best Actor trophy, while Jared Leto and Lupita Nyong'o received the Supporting Actor and Actress awards, respectively.
I think Ellen did a great job hosting the award, and the best musical performer for me was Pink singing "Over the Rainbow" in tribute to "The Wizard of Oz."
And here are the winners of the granddaddy of the Awards Season -- the 2014 Oscars:
Actor in a Leading Role
Christian Bale in .American Hustle.
Bruce Dern in .Nebraska.
Leonardo DiCaprio in .The Wolf of Wall Street.
Chiwetel Ejiofor in .12 Years a Slave.

The Oscar nominations for the 86th Academy Awards have been announced but who will win and who should win? In a banner year for great movies, 2013 gave us thought-provoking and entertaining experience at the cinema. On Oscar night, Steve McQueen.s .12 Years a Slave. will take home the top prize but Alfonso Cuaron.s .Gravity. will win all the technical awards including Best Director. Quite fitting since one provoked (.12 Years.) and the other entertained (.Gravity.).

We really would not like to be Lee Ryan right now. The Blue singer has angered plenty of people with his treatment of Celebrity Big Brother love interests Jasmine Waltz and Casey Batchelor, and drove Twitter into meltdown when he essentially shrugged off the issue upon his eviction at the weekend.
Lee now has finally said 'sorry' (to be fair, it is the hardest word) and is on the road to redeeming himself in the eyes of the public. But what should his next move be? Digital Spy has a few suggestions...
Don't blame the edit!
Lee has a potential 'get out of jail free card' here in that we're well aware of how reality shows work, how they can manipulate things into looking like something else and miss out key details. He could say, 'No guys, in the 23 hours a day you didn't see I spoke nonstop about how...

It's hard to pinpoint exactly where does William Eubank’s "The Signal" goes from being an alluring and contained science fiction thriller into a full blown parade of slow-motion-driven visual effects. Its irreverent stylistic choices range from found footage to romance tropes and a heavy dose of high-tech alien robotics. The director's sophomore film, following his debut "Love," is defined by immeasurable ambition. While that previous effort reached for existentially profound ideas, here the narrative and its numerous components suffer from a gratuitous, empty feel. The first half of the film plays like a road trip horror flick that a trio of young adults in the search of a notorious hacker known as Nomad, who infiltrated MIT's server. In order to assert their superiority and challenge this achievement, internet outlaw Nick (Brenton Thwaites), Jonah (Beau Knapp), and Haley (Olivia Cooke) embark on a quest to the Southwest to uncover the identity of the assailant.

We woke up early with Hollywood this morning for the nominations for the granddaddy of the awards season -- the Oscars! Mister Thor himself, Chris Hemsworth, along with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences President Cheryl Boone Isaacs announced the nominations, and there were not a whole lot of surprises.
But I'm very happy that the Academy honored "Dallas Buyers Club" with a nod for Best Picture along with Golden Globe winners, Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, getting Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor nominations respectively.
David O. Russell's "American Hustle" and Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" dominated the nominations with 10 nods each including Best Picture. The films will compete with "12 Years a Slave," "Captain Phillips," "Her," "Nebraska," "Philomena," "Dallas Buyers Club," and "The Wolf of Wall Street."

Love triangles, hot tub motor-boating and Lee Ryan blubbing - we thought we'd seen it all on this year's Celebrity Big Brother.
That was until we witnessed Lionel Blair dressed in latex while shouting "suck my d**k" during a task on last night's show (January 12).
The housemates selected for the 18 Certificate task - which included Luisa Zissman, Jasmine Waltz, Sam Faiers and Ollie Locke - were sent to a room where they had to provide content appropriate for the adult certificate.
They were supplied with alcohol, a bed, S&M gear and a dancing pole, which they happily took full advantage of.
Lee suggestively licked the pole while wearing a pair of the skimpiest Pvc pants on earth, as onlooker Jasmine cheered: "I love your boner."
Jasmine next took her go on the pole, during which Lionel shoved dollar bills down her Pvc skirt. She then suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction,...

Plus, a fan-favorite couple tragically calls it quits! (I guess that’s why they call it Halloween, not Happy-ween.)
Following in rich Vampire Diaries tradition, a costume party set the stage for a game-changing supernatural showdown on the show’s Oct. 31 episode.
The crux of this week’s drama centered around Damon’s (Ian Somerhalder) plan to bring Bonnie (Kat Graham) back from the dead by trading Silas’ (Paul Wesley) life for hers — you know, like the way you trade Pokemon cards. The first part of the plan, get Klaus to drink Katherine’s (Nina Dobrev) cure-blood, was do-able. The second part? Not so much.
(Side note: Is Katherine a vampire now? I mean, how else would she have survived being completely drained by Klaus if she’s still human?!)
It turns out the gang still needs a supernatural “anchor,” which was created by Tessa (Janina Gavankar) — who looked incredible as Cleopatra,...

Sci-fi movies are full of aliens, but which ones truly convince us that we're in the presence of the other-worldly?
Nb: this article contains a mild spoiler for Oblivion.
Before the science fiction genre even had a name, writers were wondering about life on alien planets. Philosophers, astronomers and dramatists were suggesting that civilisations might exist on other worlds in the 17th century, and some of the earliest pieces of cinema - such as Georges Méliès' A Trip To The Moon (1902) - tried to imagine what those aliens might look like. But in the decades since that key silent film, only a handful of filmmakers have successfully managed to convincingly describe what an alien life form might look or behave like, and all the terror and awe we might feel if we were to encounter one for ourselves.

Jimmy Eat World are a unifying band. They have fans from all sorts of musical persuasions. They enjoy patronage from Indie kids, skin-headed hardcore elitists, Skate-punkers, arty Post-Hardcore types, Metal-heads and mums and dads.
Everyone’s favorite Emo band hail from Arizona and have been together for twenty years now, releasing numerous albums and Ep’s. Such is their broad appeal that they have toured with the likes of Green Day, Weezer, Taking Back Sunday, Blink 182, New Found Glory and many more.
This month saw the release of their eighth full length record, ‘Damage’, and of course, it is superb.
Let’s look at just five of the many reasons why we love Jimmy Eat World.
5. They Look Like Regular Dudes
They’ve sold a couple of million records, played pretty high up on major festival bills, toured the world, regularly sell out their own headlining shows and graced magazine covers.

Not many bands can draw a crowd from so many generations. From 6 year olds in banners bigger than they are to teens with My Chemical Romance tattoos to middle age punks with Bad Religion jackets they are all being represented here today.
All Time Low are essentially a Blink 182 tribute band to the kids who were too young for the three piece. Their perky pop with guitars is entertaining enough although unoriginal. The more upbeat ‘Time Bomb’ and ‘Lost In Stereo’ go down best in a half empty stadium. Jack Barakat, per usual, lowers the tone with butt and your mum jokes and it just feels unnecessary and a tad creepy.
With a back catalogue like the Kaiser Chiefs it’s hard to not get a crowd singing. Ricky Wilson is on form running from corner to corner of the stage and up the frame work like a hyperactive child.
