Discuss: How Far Should This Mobile Movie Craze Go?
Filed under: Distribution », Home Entertainment »
Now that cell phones have fancy little screens that show funky little movies -- 'cept for mine, which just shows a cute cat and some text -- movies-on-phones is becoming all the more popular. People download flicks to watch on the go, and somehow decipher teeny tiny faces on a tiny little screen; it's the silly contrast to the obsession with big, super-awesome-high-definition TVs. Others, meanwhile, use cells to make mini movies, like Don McKellar's Phone Call from Imaginary Girlfriends.But now films are getting their release on the phone. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Sally Potter's Rage will premiere on cell phones through Babelgum on September 28, offering an "episode" a day for one week. Luckily, this film is a "series of interviews, as if shot by a schoolboy on his mobile phone over a seven-day period," where names like Steve Buscemi and Dianne Wiest talk about a New York fashion show -- so it's not exactly a strange way to release the film.
But it does open a can of worms: Can we expect future films to get released on our phones? Full features? I shudder at the thought -- at having to wait for installments of something that should be seen as a whole, at having to see what should be a piece of art on a tiny screen. We've already seen the world of cinema get terribly watered down, so could we possibly get a future where everyone watches movies on their handhelds? How far should this mobile movie craze go?

I know, she looks like a cross between the woman who cut your hair when you were seven and that weird chick from Taxicab Confessions, but believe it or not -- that's Jude Law, the actor, in character for the new film Rage. According to director Sally Potter, Law took on the role of Minx -- "a "celebrity super-model" [who] took on a kind of hyper-beauty for this persona... a 'female' beauty which gradually unravels as the story unfolds." Potter adds, "Strangely, the more he became a 'she', coiffed and made-up - the more naked was his performance. There was great strength in his willingness to make himself vulnerable. It was an extraordinarily intense part of the shoot."
Rage was chosen to premiere at this year's Berlin Film Festival (which is just about to start), so I'm sure we'll hear more about it real soon. Described as "a bitterly funny exposé of the inner lives of individuals working at a New York fashion house – as if shot by a schoolboy on his cellphone camera - over seven days in which an accident on the runway becomes a murder investigation.," Rage also stars Judi Dench, Steve Buscemi, Eddie Izzard, John Leguizamo and Dianne Wiest.

Cinematical Has Seen First 28 Minutes of '28 Weeks Later'!

Fox Atomic decided to torture us by inviting us over the the swanky Fox lot to view the first 28 minutes of the in-progress flick, 28 Weeks Later (we parked in "The Sound of Music," and let me tell you ... those hills were most definitely not alive. They didn't have eyes either, thankfully). I can say with absolute conviction, if you liked the first one, you're going to like this one as well. It's also safe to say (according to Fox Atomic) that you don't have to have seen the first film in order to enjoy this one. That's definitely true from what I was treated to.
Here's the setting: it's 28 weeks since the outbreak of the Rage infection that decimated London in the first film, 28 Days Later (hence 28 Weeks Later ... both movies are timed from the infection outbreak, which is day zero.) If you haven't seen the first film, the Rage virus/infection isn't pretty. One bite (or even a single drop of blood) from someone who is infected will put you instantly into a "state of irreversible hyperactivity and murderousness," according to Wikipedia. It's almost like being turned into a familiar horror movie staple (we aren't using the zed word here), except with the extreme hyperactivity.
