"How many people are watching?" Uncork'd Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for an indie sci-fi prison escape thriller titled Division 19, the latest from filmmaker Suzie Halewood. The film premiered at the Fantasporto Film Festival in 2017, where it won the Critics' Award, and also played at the Boston Science Fiction Film Festival last year, where it won Best Director. Set in 2039, Division 19 takes place in a future where jails have been turned into online portals where the public gets to choose what prisoners eat, wear, watch and who they fight. The most successful is Panopticon TV, which is about to be rolled out to an entire town. When the most downloaded felon escapes, the authorities set a trap to reel him in. Linus Roache and Alison Doody star, with Jamie Draven, Lotte Verbeek, Clarke Peters, L. Scott Caldwell, and Will Rothhaar. Not surprisingly this looks instantly forgettable. Here's...

Outside of the Scream franchise, Neve Campbell hasn't really done anything notable. (Not that I know of anyway.) But she has been cast in a new dystopian sci-fi thriller called Division 19. The movie was started as a Kickstarter last month, and is far from reaching its goal, but it looks like they found funding from an outside source and started production in Detroit this week. The movie also stars Jamie Draven (Billy Elliot) and Clarke Peters (The Wire). Here's the official description of the story, and below it you'll find the Kickstater video:
Division 19 is set in a future where the burgeoning need for social control has led to mass-criminalization. With jails overflowing, the Central Control have brought in a data-warehousing specialist who has turned the jails into online portals allowing citizens to monitor felons and vote on what they eat, wear, read, watch and when they fight.

Badland Corp.
The latest arrival in this fall's seemingly endless barrage of Iraq War-themed films, Badland is an achingly self-important portrait of a returning Marine reservist who commits an unspeakable act in the name of post-traumatic stress disorder.
Written and directed by Francesco Lucente with a heavy heart and a heavier hand, this overlong, over-the-top dirge is being pushed -- with pushed being the operative word -- as an awards-season contender.
Precious few are likely to see it that way, if they see it at all.
England's Jamie Draven is the damaged goods in question -- a once-idealistic Gulf War veteran who has recently returned from a tour of Afghanistan and Iraq, a jittery shadow of his former self.
Jerry's crying jags and nosebleeds elicit little sympathy from his bullying wife (Vinessa Shaw), who's sick and tired of their dead-end trailer park existence, while his three young children become an increasing burden to him.
Then one day, unsurprisingly, he snaps, going on a cold-blooded shooting spree that leaves his wife and two of those kids dead.
With his surviving daughter (Grace Fulton) in tow, Jerry goes on the lam and starts over in a new town on the U.S.-Canadian border, taking a job in a diner run by the sympathetic Oli (Chandra West), who's unaware of his horrific deed, despite all those news reports.
It's only a matter of time before Jerry's past finally catches up with him, and at a painfully protracted 160 minutes, Badland has oodles to spare.
When the picture gets around to its calculated socko ending, the viewer has long been pummeled into a state of numbness.
Each time Draven's character so much as quivers an eyebrow, Carlo Varini's camera, when it's not paying obvious stylistic homage to Terrence Malick's Badlands, moves in close for the kill, prompting the Budapest Symphony Orchestra to swell accordingly as a mournful choir of operatic voices similarly rises to the occasion.
Before it all comes to a crashing end, Lucente tosses a Bruce Springsteen tune into the overwrought mix -- no, not Badlands, but the more recent "Devils & Dust."
Too bad he never took a cue from that war-themed song's powerfully understated eloquence.
