L.A. Film Fest Mixes Indies and Studio Fare
This just may be the best time of year in L.A. As the Los Angeles Dodgers hit the field and the jacaranda trees bloom, Film Independent will take over Westwood Village for the Los Angeles Film Festival, June 19-29. With more than 275 screenings and events, and with attendance expected to top 100,000, the 2008 LAFF will once again be one of the biggest film events of the year in a town obsessed with movies.
“There are so many film festivals around the world and even in this city. What we try to do is create something that is very unique, that’s very L.A.,” said LAFF director Rich Raddon. The festival, which last year opened with Transformers, continues the trend of screening studio and independent films by opening June 19 with Timur Bekmambetov’s Wanted, starring Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy. Another action flick based on a comic book, Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army, will close the festival June 28.Raddon came under fire in the press last year for featuring a blockbuster in a festival known as a platform for low-budget indies. He said it might seem LAFF is sending a mixed message by screening Wanted and Hellboy II alongside films such as The Choir, Michael Davie’s documentary about life in South Africa’s largest penitentiary (June 22 and 26). However, the festival has always made a point of offering something for everyone. Continue Reading…

New ‘Wanted’ Featurette !
A new behind-the-scenes featurette has popped up online for the upcoming comic adaptation of Wanted, courtesy of Empire Online. The featurette gives comparisons from the movie to Mark Millar’s comic graphic novel series.
This is a big move for Universal, since the first movie has yet to appear in theaters. Fans have called it a rip-off of “The Matrix” and director Timur Bekmambetov’s last projects, “Night Watch” and “Day Watch” films, are mediocre at best, even though they are some of the most successful movies in Russia.
The upcoming adaptation stars James McAvoy, Morgan Freeman, Terence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann, Common and Angelina Jolie. Timur Bekmambetov (Russian Night Watch) directed the film, based on a screenplay by Michael Brandt, Derek Haas and Chris Morgan.
Wanted will hit theaters June 27, 2008.
