The Saints are coming - Trailer for Troy Duffy's Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day

The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is an upcoming sequel to the 1999 cult film The Boondock Saints. The director of the original film, Troy Duffy, returned to film the sequel, which sees the return of Sean Patrick Flanery and Norman Reedus as American brothers who act as vigilantes.

Apparently Maverick Film Troy Duffy has been keeping a video production diary over here!

Donnie Darko - Frank The Bunny Costume

In 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes and 12 seconds, the world will end. Are you ready? If not, at least look ready. I recommend this bunny costume as modelled by Frank the Karma killer. Available from Forbidden Planet.

Special Preview: The Imaginarium Of Dr Parnassus and Q&A with Terry Gilliam

Curzon Mayfair proudly welcomes director Terry Gilliam to the stage in a post screening discussion to answer
all audience questions.



THE IMAGINARIUM OF DR PARNASSUS
Dir: Terry Gilliam Starring: Christopher Plummer, Heath Ledger, Tom Waits.

A director seemingly affiliated with bad luck, that Terry Gilliam got to complete this at all is a minor miracle. A fantastical morality tale set in present-day London (for the most part at least), the alternate realities Gilliam spins will be more than familiar to fans of TIME BANDITS and BRAZIL. With more than a hint of Doctor Faustus, the film’s kernel is an ambitious travelling magician whose ambition has caused him to
enter a number of deals with the devil, the most personally damaging of which has seen Parnassus (played
impeccably by Plummer, THE NEW WORLD) trade immortality for his daughter (Lily Cole) on the occasion of her 16th birthday. A characteristic feast for the senses, the film is a fitting epitaph to Ledger, whose character is also ably portrayed in its transformative states by Jude Law, Colin Farrell and Johnny Depp.

Extremely entertaining, the film also has at its heart a larger than life turn from Tom Waits as the devil.

Tickets go on general sale on the Curzon website on Friday 4 September.

Classic screening: Once Upon a Time in the West

There were three men in her life. One to take her... one to love her... and one to kill her.

One of Time's top 100 greatest films ever made. This epic is the story of a mysterious stranger with a harmonica who joins forces with a notorious desperado to protect a beautiful widow from a ruthless assassin working for the railroad.

Newly restored and re-released by the BFI, Sergio Leone's masterpiece uses the epic theme of the industrial destruction of the Old West to frame compelling human dramas,
including the violent revenge odyssey of Harmonica (Charles Bronson).
