"Vampire Academy" Movie Soundtrack Due February 11, 2014
Universal Music Enterprises to Release VAMPIRE ACADEMY Soundtrack out February 11, 2014
Featured artists include Katy Perry, Sky Ferreira, Goldfrapp, Iggy Azalea, Natalia Kills, Au Revoir Simone, Jaymes Bullett, Max Frost, Bear In Heaven, Rainy Milo and an exclusive track from CHVRCHES
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Universal Music Enterprises announced today that it will release the soundtrack album from the upcoming movie VAMPIRE ACADEMY on February 11. The line-up of artists includes Katy Perry, Goldfrapp, Sky Ferreira and more. Indie darlings CHVRCHES (Iain Cook, Martin Doherty and Lauren Mayberry) will contribute a self-produced exclusive track of the Bauhaus cover “Bela Lugosi's Dead.” The Weinstein Company will release VAMPIRE ACADEMY in theaters nationwide on February 14th.
The full album track list features an eclectic line-up, with “In Your Grave” by Jaymes Bullet (unreleased), “Red Lips” by Sky Ferreira, “Nice and Slow” by Max Frost, “Thea” by Goldfrapp, “Boys Don’t Cry” by Natalia Kills, “Bounce” by Iggy Azalea, ”Sinful Nature” by Bear In Heaven, “Think About It” by Naughty Boy, “Rats” by Rainy Milo (unreleased), “Spiritual” by Katy Perry, “Crazy” by Au Revoir Simone and the aforementioned exclusive CHVRCHES “Bela Lugosi's Dead.” CHVRVCHES says, "’Bela Lugosi's Dead’ is a genre defining classic. It was equal parts thrilling and daunting to attempt a reworking of such an incredible song. We can only hope that we did The Count proud." Adds Howard Paar, music supervisor, "I think we all felt a big responsibility to capture the spirit of the books with the songs that were chosen. I hope everyone has as much fun listening to the soundtrack as we did making it."
Director Mark Waters explains, "I had happily planned a career as a doctor when I first saw 'The Hunger' in the early eighties. I was immediately enraptured by it and its unforgettable use, in the classic opening sequence, of the seminal Bauhaus song, 'Bela Lugosi's Dead.' I saw the movie again the next day and, by the end of the week, I no longer wanted to be a doctor.
"If and when my journey as a filmmaker took me down the dark alley of the Vampire genre, I knew I'd want to pay homage to The Hunger, Bauhaus, and 'Bela Lugosi's Dead' in a way that took it all to another level. It was remarkable good luck we could hitch onto the comet that is CHVRCHES. I dare anyone to try walking out on the closing credits when their version of Bela is playing!"
From Mark Waters, the director of MEAN GIRLS, and his brother Daniel Waters, the screenwriter of HEATHERS, comes VAMPIRE ACADEMY, a film based on the best-selling book series by Richelle Mead.
St. Vladimir's is like any boarding school -- it’s got cute boys, gossip queens, and a strict curfew, but that’s only because when you’re a vampire the sun is annoying. Rose Hathaway (Zoey Deutch), is the 17-year-old half human/half vampire guardian of her best friend, Princess Lissa Dragomir (Lucy Fry), the last in line to become queen of the Vampire Moroi. Someone or something wants Lissa dead. To keep her alive, Rose will have to keep her hormones in check and actually learn from her hot guardian instructor Dimitri. Only then will she be able to fight off crazed vampires, deadly fire-spells, and murderous psi-hounds. If you thought high school was cut throat….
VAMPIRE ACADEMY is a best-selling series of six young-adult paranormal romance novels by author Richelle Mead. The first book in the series, Vampire Academy, was published in 2007. By 2013 the series had sold over 8 million copies in 35 countries. With its irreverent characters and Richelle's distinct voice, Vampire Academy has set itself apart from anything else the Young Adult world is reading.
VAMPIRE ACADEMY will be released through the Weinstein Company, was financed by Reliance and is produced by Don Murphy and Susan Montford of NATURAL BORN KILLERS, BULLY, REAL STEEL & TRANSFORMERS, Deepak Nayar of BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM, BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB & LOST HIGHWAY and Michael Preger of the upcoming DAY OF THE TRIFFIDS.

Review: "The Hunt for Red October" Still a Goodie
The Hunt for Red October (1990)
Running time: 134 minutes (2 hour, 14 minutes)
MPAA – PG-13 for some intense action/violence and language
DIRECTOR: John McTiernan
WRITERS: Larry Ferguson and Donald Stewart (based on the novel by Tom Clancy)
PRODUCER: Mace Neufeld
CINEMATOGRAPHER: Jan De Bont (D.o.P.)
EDITORS: Dennis Virkler and John Wright
COMPOSER: Basil Poledouris
Academy Award winner
DRAMA/ESPIONAGE/ACTION/THRILLER
Starring: Sean Connery, Alec Baldwin, Scott Glenn, Sam Neill, Richard Jordan, Peter Firth, Tim Curry, Courtney B. Vance, Stellan Skarsgard, Jeffrey Jones, Fred Dalton Thompson, Daniel Davis, Gates McFadden, and James Earl Jones
Advertisements for the upcoming film, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, tout it as the return of the Tom Clancy thriller to the big screen. That little bit of hard-selling made me want to see the first Tom Clancy thriller to hit movie theatres, again.
The Hunt for Red October is a 1990 naval thriller and action movie from director John McTiernan. The film is based on The Hunt for Red October, a novel by the late author Tom Clancy that was first published in 1984. The Hunt for Red October the movie focuses on a rogue Soviet submarine captain and the young CIA analyst who is trying to figure out his every move.
The Hunt for Red October opens in 1984 in the USSR and introduces Captain Marko Ramius (Sean Connery). He commands the Red October, a ballistic missile submarine that is virtually undetectable. The ship’s first mission is to be part of USSR war game exercises, but early in the mission, the Red October disappears.
In the United States, a young CIA analyst, Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin), gets an assignment from Vice Admiral James Greer (James Earl Jones), CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence. Ryan must discover Ramius’ intentions before a war breaks out between the Americans and the Russians over the missing Red October. Is Ramius trying to defect, or to start a war?
Tom Clancy’s intrepid CIA agent, Jack Ryan, makes his first big screen appearance in The Hunt for Red October. Actor Harrison Ford would play the character in 1992’s Patriot Games and 2004’s Clear and Present Danger. Ben Affleck would play Ryan in The Sum of All Fears (2002), which I have not seen as of this writing. Clear and Present Danger is one of my all-time favorite movies, and honestly, I can’t say if I like Baldwin or Ford more as Ryan, because both are among my favorite actors.
The Hunt for Red October is not a great movie, but it is greatly entertaining. It is skillfully directed by John McTiernan, who, for a time from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, was one of the supreme directors of big, masculine, and loud action movies. The expert film editing in this movie reveals McTiernan’s efficiency at creating a story that is part clever and deceptive game and part espionage thriller – all wrapped inside the mechanics of a military film.
Sean Connery as Ramius and Alec Baldwin as Ryan are convincing and proficient, and while this is not their best work, they create characters we want to be next to and follow into adventure. I had not seen this movie in years, but it is as good as or maybe even better than I remember. The Hunt for Red October is the techno-thriller that does not require the viewer to be smart to watch it. That is not a slap at the audience; that’s a compliment to say that The Hunt for Red October is a smart movie that is also successful at entertaining.

"Gravity," "American Hustle" Lead 2014 Oscar Nominations - Complete List
by Leroy Douresseaux
The 2014 / 86th Academy Awards nominations were announced on
Thursday, January 16, 2014 in the Academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater by Cheryl
Boone Isaacs and Chris Hemsworth.
Director David O. Russell’s American Hustle and director
Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity led the 2014 Academy Award nominations with 10 each,
including “Best Picture” and “Best Director” nods.
Director Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave received 9
nominations, although it was expected to lead the nominations pack. However, the film did not receive nominations
in the categories of “Best Cinematography” and “Best Original Score,” which
some prognosticators thought it would.
If 12 Years a Slave had received those two nominations, it would have
given the movie a leading eleven nominations.
I think this is leading to what I predicted at the beginning of the
2013-14 movie award season; 12 Years a Slave is NOT going to win “Best
Picture.” I don’t expect it to win in the
director, lead actor, and supporting actress categories, either.
Beyond that, there are so many surprises and so-called
snubs, and I have neither the time nor inclination to discuss them. But you can find lots of discussion around
the web.
The Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2013
will be presented on Sunday, March 2,
2014 , at the Dolby Theatre™ at Hollywood & Highland Center®,
and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation, produced by Craig
Zadan and Neil Meron, will also be televised live in more than 225 countries
and territories worldwide.

2014 Canadian Screen Award Nominations Are Announced
by Leroy Douresseaux
The Canadian Screen Awards honor achievements in Canadian film and television production, as well as achievements in digital media. In 2012, the formerly separate Genie Awards (for film) and Gemini Awards (for television) merged into a single ceremony, the Canadian Screen Awards.
The Canadian Screen Awards are presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television. This is a national, no-profit, professional association dedicated to the promotion, recognition and celebration of exceptional achievements in Canadian film, television and digital media.

"Gravity" Goes Nationwide - Again on January 17 2014
Warner Bros. Pictures’ Award-Winning Drama “Gravity” Returning to Wide Release on January 17
The acclaimed Alfonso Cuarón-directed worldwide hit, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, will be on more than 900 screens nationwide
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Following months of overwhelming critical and audience acclaim and numerous year-end awards, Warner Bros. Pictures is bringing Alfonso Cuarón’s cinematic achievement “Gravity” back to big screens nationwide. The film, which stars Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, will be re-released on more than 900 screens on January 17, 2014, it was announced today by Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.
Originally released on October 4, 2013, “Gravity” instantly became a favorite of both critics and audiences. It has since become one of the most honored films of the year, most recently bringing a Golden Globe Award for Best Director to Alfonso Cuarón. The film has also received 11 BAFTA Award nominations and 10 Critics’ Choice Award nominations, both including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress (Bullock)*. It has also won Best Picture awards from several prestigious critics organizations, including the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and has been included on 395 critics’ and critics groups’ top ten lists, as well as being named one of the AFI’s ten best films of the year. It was also announced as the year’s best reviewed film by the website Rotten Tomatoes.
In addition, the talents behind the film have been recognized by their peers, with a Directors Guild of America Award nomination for Cuarón; a Producers Guild of America Award nomination for David Heyman and Cuarón; a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Bullock; a American Society of Cinematographers Award nomination for Emmanuel Lubezki; an Art Directors Guild Award nomination for Andy Nicholson; and an American Cinema Editors’ Eddie Award nomination for Cuarón and Mark Sanger*.
“Gravity” has also been a smash hit at the box office, earning more than $670 million worldwide and counting, with most moviegoers opting to view it in 3D.
In making the announcement, Fellman stated, “We are thrilled by the many accolades for ‘Gravity,’ which have generated renewed word-of-mouth and interest in seeing the film, whether for the first time or to experience it again. We wanted to give audiences everywhere another opportunity to see it the way it was meant to be seen—on the big screen.”
Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side”) and George Clooney (“Syriana”) star in “Gravity,” a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón (“Children of Men”).
Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney) in command. But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
“Gravity” was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films). Chris deFaria, Nikki Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers. The behind-the-scenes team included multiple Oscar®-nominated director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki (“Children of Men,” “The New World”); production designer Andy Nicholson (art director “Alice in Wonderland”); editors Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger (VFX editor “Children of Men”); and costume designer Jany Temime (the “Harry Potter” films). The visual effects were handled by Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Tim Webber (“The Dark Knight”). The music was composed by Steven Price (“Attack the Block”).
Warner Bros. Pictures Presents an Esperanto Filmoj/Heyday Films Production, an Alfonso Cuarón Film, “Gravity.” Released in 3D and 2D and IMAX®, the film is being distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company. This film has been rated PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language.
