Attention movie buffs! Lindsay is the winner of Peter Weir’s The Way Back starring Colin Farrell, Ed Harris and Jim Sturgess. Linday says, “Colin Farrell is a hottie!”  I am inclined to agree with her and he is very good in this film. He plays a criminal among political prisioners.

If you didn’t win The Way Back, no problem because the movie is available at your neighborhood redbox kiosk for only $1 a night.

Weir is a phenomenal director of such films as Master and Commander, Witness, The Year of Living Dangerously and The Truman Show.

Inspired by real events, join seven prisoners in their attempt to escape from a brutal Siberian gulag and make a 4,500-mile trek to freedom across the world’s most merciless terrain.  See what happens when supplies are scarce and they have to work as a team to gain their freedom. To celebrate this film, Screenhead is hosting a giveaway of The Way Back DVD.

This is a great Hollywood story in relation to the recent death of Osama bin Laden.

An exclusive story from Variety reports that Mark Boal’s untitled script about the operatives hunting Osama bin Laden concentrates on the very team that wound up killing the terrorist leader, a lucky break for the filmmaker who now has an ending for the project that’s still scheduled to go into production this summer with Kathryn Bigelow directing.

Those close to Boal tell Variety that the “Hurt Locker” writer is continuing his work on the script, and will without a doubt include the 40-minute fire-fight at the compound in Pakistan where bin Laden was found and shot to death Sunday.

Boal was following the mission for quite some time, thanks to his access to military intelligence and his background as an investigative journalist. For him, the timing of bin Laden’s death is a great Hollywood story in that if it had come much later, making changes would’ve been a scramble. The time is still late enough to maximize the movie’s overall premise.

We have three winners!

When Harry Tries to Marry follows the young Indian-born bachelor who lives in New York City. Harry’s handsome and charming, but he’s cynical about love. He’s never really gotten over his parents’ divorce — they were a modern Indian couple who married for love and it didn’t last. So to improve his odds of living “happily ever after,” Harry decides to have an arranged marriage, and asks his uncle back home in India to assist him in arranging the introduction to an appropriate Indian woman.

Screenhead is giving away two Roger Corman DVD/Blu-ray combo packs to four lucky movie lovers!

The first one is Roger Corman’s 1963 thriller The Terror – restored and in HD for the first time ever – will be available in a special DVD/Blu-ray combo pack April 26, 2011.

In 18th century France, Lt. Andre Duvalier (Jack Nicholson), an officer in Napoleon’s army, has been separated from his regiment. Wandering near the coast, he spies a young woman (Sandra Knight) and calls out. When she fails to acknowledge him, he follows her into the dark surf and loses consciousness.

He awakens in a house, tended by an old woman, Katrina (Dorothy Neumann), who claims not to know the mysterious lady. On his way again, Andre comes upon the castle of Baron Victor Frederick Von Leppe (Boris Karlof).

There he learns that the girl is in fact the spirit of the Baron’s late wife being used as a pawn by the witchy Katrina, who is bent on driving the elderly Baron to suicide.

Famous for being shot on leftover film sets from other productions, The Terror, produced and directed by Roger Corman, has been released under several titles (Lady of the Shadows, The Castle of Terror and The Haunting) and more recently aired as episodes of the syndicated TV series Cinema Insomnia With Mr. Lobo and Elvira’s Movie Macabre (Oct. 3, 2010).

The second one is produced by the celebrated B movie icon Roger Corman and directed by the legendary Francis Ford Coppola, 1963’s terror-ific Dementia 13 will be available in a special DVD/Blu-ray combo pack, April 26, 2011.

Considered Coppola’s first mainstream, “legitimate” directorial effort, this gothic psychological thriller – based on a story idea Corman penned in one night – was shot for a budget of $42,000. The majority of the American actors were college pals of Coppola, many of whom paid their own way to Ireland for the opportunity to appear in a film. Although Coppola promised “lots of sex and violence,” Corman later battled with Coppola and hired director Jack Hill to shoot additional scenes of carnage. For years, it was rumored that the film’s print had mysteriously disappeared. Now, Film Chest makes Dementia 13 available to fans, restored and in HD for the first time ever!

After inadvertently causing her husband’s fatal heart attack, Louise, a scheming young woman (Luana Anders), attempts to have herself written into her wealthy mother-in-law’s will.

Forging a letter from her deceased spouse to convince his family he’s away on business, Louise – determined to get into their good graces – pays a surprise visit to the ancestral home in Ireland. With other family members gathered at the foreboding castle, she joins in a morbid ritual to honor Kathleen, her sister-in-law who died mysteriously seven years earlier.

When an axe-wielding lunatic begins murderously stalking the gatherers, her plans are permanently interrupted. But which one is the killer? Is Louise – or one of the other peculiar mourners, each with a dark motive – willing to do anything to gain fortune?

Now that the Governator has been relinguished of his duties, it’s time for Arnold Schwarzenegger to get back to what he’s good at: trying badly to act. Does he even change his facial expression throughout the entirety of Commando? While no one cared in 1985, Arnie seems a little obsolete these days. Which is why he is making two huge missteps.

The first is that Arnie is set to return as the iconic Terminator. He appeared in the first three movies, his likeness turned up in Terminator: Salvation, and now according to 24 Frames his agents are shopping around a package for a fifth film that would include the king of meatheads. Extending a franchise beyond its welcome is nothing new in Hollywood, but what’s even more depressing is that it’s not being handed to some new talent to revitalise the spent story. No, instead Justin Lin is attached as director. Yes, the man between the moronic The Fast and the Furious sequels 3-5, the fifth (written by a 5-year old, it seems) due out this week. It will without doubt make a lot of money, and sadly that qualifies a hack director to take on what was once a great duo of films. Let’s just say there’s not much hope for the Terminated and the Untardy.

His other project is to appear as a comic-book superhero known as the Governator, developed as a comic and animated series by Marvel maestro Stan Lee. When the subject of a jokes gets in on it, you know it’s not going to be funny. Nor is it clever to develop a nickname into an entire series. Maybe Arnie does belong in politics after all.

Production has commenced in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated movie Marvel’s The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay by Whedon. The film will continue principal photography in Cleveland, Ohio and New York City. Robert Downey Jr. returns as the iconic Tony Stark/Iron Man along with Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Chris Evans as Captain America, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Mark Ruffalo as Hulk, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson, and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Set for release in the US on May 4, 2012, Marvel’s The Avengers is the first feature to be fully owned, marketed and distributed by Disney, which acquired Marvel in 2009.

Continuing the epic big-screen adventures started in Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, and Captain America: The First Avenger, Marvel’s The Avengers is the Super Hero team up of a lifetime. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as SHIELD, finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster.

Based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series, first published in 1963, Marvel’s The Avengers brings together the mightiest Super Hero characters as they all assemble together on screen for the first time. The star studded cast of Super Heroes will be joined by Cobie Smulders as Agent Maria Hill of SHIELD, as well as Tom Hiddleston and Stellan Skarsgård who will both reprise their respective roles as Loki and Professor Erik Selvig from the upcoming Marvel Studios’ feature Thor.

On behalf of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Screenhead is pleased to present an official giveaway of Sniper: Reloaded, which is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

For an actor who is known to be abrasive and driven at the same time, it’s about time that he tries to take over an entire film production by being its actor and director. According to Deadline, Russell Crowe is considering taking control of a film entitled 77.

While he hasn’t committed just yet (he’s waiting on the next draft), Crowe is line to take on a script that is an original idea by pulp writer James Ellroy (he wrote the original novels of LA Confidential and The Black Dahlia). David Matthews is working on the redraft. The story follows two police officers, one black and one white, and the connection between an unsolved murder of a police officer and the infamous shoot-out between the LAPD and the militant Patty Heart-kidnapping Symbionese Liberation Army.

Crowe’s superstar status has lagged a bit in recent years (Robin Hood underperformed, and The Next Three Days and State of Play were borderline disasters) so perhaps he feels he needs to resurrect his carrer single-handedly. Apparently, Crowe was interested in directing WWII drama The Long Green Shore but ultimately backed down, and the project is still in development.

I am excited to share the new trailer from The Devil’s Double, opening in theaters July 29, 2011.

Featuring a riveting double performance by Dominic Cooper, who was awesome in An Education and Mama Mia, in the roles of Latif Yahia and Uday Hussein, The Devil’s Double is a dynamic, chilling adaptation of Latif Yahia’s autobiographical novel, charting one man’s defiant struggle to survive a viper’s pit of corruption and brutality. The film is directed by Lee Tamahori and written by Michael Thomas.

Summoned from the frontline to Saddam Hussein’s palace, Iraqi army lieutenant Latif is thrust into the highest echelons of the “royal family” when he’s ordered to become the ‘fiday’ – or body double – to Saddam’s son, the notorious “Black Prince” Uday Hussein, a reckless, sadistic party-boy with a rabid hunger for sex and brutality. With his and his family’s lives at stake, Latif must surrender his former self forever as he learns to walk, talk and act like Uday.

But nothing could have prepared him for the horror of the Black Prince’s psychotic, drug-addled life of fast cars, easy women and impulsive violence. With one wrong move costing him his life, Latif forges an intimate bond with Sarrab (Ludivine Sangier), Uday’s seductive mistress who’s haunted by her own secrets. But as war looms with Kuwait and Uday’s depraved gangster regime threatens to destroy them all, Latif realizes that escape from the devil’s den will only come at the highest possible cost.

Is it a great move to propel your career into the mainstream or is it a safe choice that could typecast you forever? This is the choice Jeremy Renner must make shortly. For according to Deadline, he has formally been offered the lead role in the fourth Jason Bourne film, The Bourne Legacy.

Renner shot into the limelight 2 years ago for his fearless performance as a bomb-defuser in the Oscar-winning The Hurt Locker. Renner was nominated for his performance but lost out to Jeff Bridges. Renner was nominated again this year for his brief supporting role in The Town. And since then his career has exploded. He’s appearing in the odd revisitionist Brothers Grimm tale Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, as superhero Hawkeye in the 2012 star-studded blockbuster The Avengers (and he may even get his own movie as a result), and is also starring alongside Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible 4, which is out this Christmas. The latter was the perfect testing ground for the role that is now being laid out before him.

But is the project worth taking? Rather than being a direct sequel (even though the book of the same title is), Matt Damon’s decision to back out as Jason Bourne led the film’s creative team to take a new approach and rework the story as a sort of spinoff. So despite the misleading title Renner will not be playing Jason Bourne, but instead an operative from a different covert spy organisation. Surely audiences will be confused if not annoyed by being misled, and the film risks becoming more of a Bourne wannabe (Taken, Unknown) than a Bourne film. Tony Gilroy (writer of the Bourne films and director of Michael Clayton and Duplicity) will direct.
