Exclusive: Kiefer Sutherland (24) is set to star in action-thriller The Winter Kills from director John Stalberg, Jr. (Crypto).
Sutherland will portray a disgraced cop pursuing the serial killer who murdered his partner ten years ago — and has resurfaced to kill again.
Written by Ben Floro Carney, the film is produced by Patrick Rizzotti, Paul Johansson, David Guglielmo, John Jr, Wyatt Russell, Oliver Hudson and XYZ Films.
Pic is set to shoot this spring in New Jersey with debt financing to be provided by Blue Fox Financing. XYZ Films is also financing and will introduce the film to buyers at this week’s European Film Market in Berlin.
“Kiefer Sutherland is more than just the perfect actor for this film, he’s an absolute legend, and I’m beyond thrilled to match his rare talent with a role that will require every ounce of it. I couldn’t imagine a better team of professionals,...

In the mid-1970s Andy Warhol began keeping a diary–of sorts. It started out as a dry accounting of expenses–a tube of paint here, a quart of milk there—dictated to his collaborator Pat Hackett. But over time the entries shifted from the strictly mundane to something deeper and more personal.
“I’ve got these desperate feelings,” he noted in a 1981 entry, for instance, “that nothing means anything.”
Andy Warhol’s diaries were published posthumously in 1989, Hackett having edited the raw 20,000 pages to a more manageable, if not inconsiderable, 807. But it was not until this year that The Andy Warhol Diaries were transformed into a documentary series for Netflix, and an acclaimed one at that. It has earned four Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series and individual recognition for Andrew Rossi for writing and directing the series.

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation which has a short run time and a four-match card. I could honestly get used to these shorter shows! On commentary this week we have Paul Wight, Mark Henry And Tony Schiavone. Let’s get right into the action, which comes from the Kia Forum (aka The Forum) in Los Angeles, California.
Match #1: The Factory def. Dark Order
My Thoughts: This was a good, but not great, match. The kind of match you can watch without really paying attention to it and still know exactly what’s going on. Can’t believe Dark Order lost to The factory though, it looks like the faction are back to losing match after match, week after week. Do we need an injection of new blood into Dark Order? Probably.
My Score: 2.5 out of 5 Match #2: Frankie Kazarian def. Serpentico

Welcome to this week’s review of Aew Dark: Elevation, once again we’ve got Excalibur and Tony Schiavone on commentary and only a 6-match card. Let’s get right into the review… and the action!
Match #1: Nyla Rose def. Charlotte Renegade
My Thoughts: This was Nyla Rose mimicking Lance Archer’s matches and squashing Both Renegade sisters who, despite switching them switching places in the ring, couldn’t mount much offence on Rose – who ambushed them from the get-go and never let up.
My Score: 1.5 out of 5 Match #2: Julia Hart def. Skye Blue
My Thoughts: Julia Hart goes full heel in this match against Skye Blue. About time Tbh. Playing heel allowed Hart to get more aggressive and beat up Sky Blue rather than out-wrestle her. There were a few clumsy moments but this is undoubtedly Hart’s best singles outing yet.
My Score: 2 out of 5 Match #3: Gunn Club def.

Match #1: The Bunny def. Erica Leigh
My Thoughts: Erica Leigh opened this match with an old-school “evil bitch” mannerism that reminded me of the early 80s and the likes of Sensational Sherri. That did nothing for her however as The Bunny took control of the match and demolished Leigh in quick succession.
My Score: 1 out of 5 Match #2: 2point0 & Daniel Garcia def. Kekoa, Rayo & Pat Brink
My Thoughts: This match was over before it began, as 2point0 and Garcia jumped their opponents before the bell and didn’t let up. In fact, Garcia put the Scorpion...

We don’t know if this is a case of no news is good or bad news but Yuriy Bykov‘s The Owner has not made any blips on the radar in 2021. His sixth feature was announced just after he had teased an early retirement when 2018’s The Factory wasn’t exactly well received from critiques in his homeland.

The Owner
Russian director Yury Bykov continues a prolific streak with sixth feature The Owner, a Russian-Swiss-uk co-pro with Ilya Stewart, Pavel Buria and Murad Osmann of Moscow’s Hype Film on board. The new project is a welcome continuation, especially considering Bykov had announced his retirement from cinema after 2018’s The Factory due to critiques and misinterpretation of his intentions directing the television series “Sleepers” in 2017, which many saw as a defense of Russia’s tyrannical regime and a betrayal from Bykov, whose films are social commentaries about contemporary Russian life. Bykov has increasingly become one of Russia’s most well-traveled and internationally recognized directors over the past decade.…...

A feature documentary tracing the journey of a celebrated Argentine activist has won the Australian Film Television and Radio School (Aftrs), Doc Society, the Australian International Documentary Conference (Aidc) and Screen Nsw’s inaugural New Perspectives Pitch Lab.
Jayson McNamara’s Norita was selected amidst a group of six projects for the pitch training initiative, which is designed to support non-fiction talent with a social impact project in development or production.
Set in Argentina, the documentary tracks the transformation of Nora Cortiñas, following the kidnapping of her son by Argentina’s dictatorship in 1977.
During her 40 year search for him, Nora goes from a conservative housewife to a trailblazing activist and celebrated icon, inspiring a new generation to fight for their democracy.
In announcing their decision, the judging panel said it was “highly impressed” with the Norita team’s powerful pitch.

Solidarity in the face of privatisation and its hammer-blows against the international workforce flourishes under many banners, guises, and movements; a universal struggle to undermine capitalism’s exploitative abuses has been fought, both in broad daylight and beneath the shadows, for time immemorable. Back in the 1990’s, one such struggle reared its gnashers on a global level when ports across the planet refused the docking of shipping vessel Neptune Jade and the unloading of its cargo. Against this shining example of workers’ unity stands Chen Chieh-jen’s “The Route”, a border-negating wall of bodies and signs espousing the transnational ideal that camaraderie knows no physical limitations, where the will of the people will ultimately triumph. Or something like that at least.
The Route is screening at Taiwan Film Festival UK
The incidents surrounding the Neptune Jade’s 1997 voyage has been well documented and is well known among unionist circles. After...

Amazon Prime Video has acquired the first season of series “Russian Affairs” for distribution in Germany, France and the Netherlands, from Russia’s Start Studios.
The eight-part drama that follows the lives of Russia’s elite and those who aspire to that position is set in contemporary Moscow. Under the title “Gold Diggers,” the series was broadcast on Russia’s Start Ott platform in 2019 and generated more than 10 million viewers.
Daria Bondarenko, exec VP, international sales and co-oroductions, said: “The series lifts the lid on the bright lights of current Moscow, and the glamorous world of Russia’s wealthy society, where money, information, power, or beauty are the qualifications needed for entry, and illicit affairs are the norm.”
Start Studios is the production division of Russian independent studio Yellow, Black and White. In 2019, the company sold sci-fi series “Better Than Us” to Netflix. Other recent series from Yellow, Black and White include “Storm,...

Pamplona, Spain — For the third consecutive year, the Spanish Society of Authors and Publishers (Sgae) hosted a pitching session for TV projects from the Fundación Sgae Laboratory at Spain’s Conecta Fiction co-production and networking TV event, held this year in Pamplona.
The Sgae Laboratory gives participants an opportunity to fill out their projects over a six-month tutoring process in which they are given access to industry professionals who can provide advice and share their own experiences.
The first project to pitch on Tuesday was Beatriz García Alós’ “The Factory.” Set in this Spanish city of Sagunto on Valencia’s Mediterranean coast, the period drama begins in 1966 as economic crisis reaches the blast furnaces of the area used in mining operations which fuel the local economy. It was hardly the ideal situation for Begoña, the beautiful young daughter of one of the bosses, and her lover Mario, the son of a unionized worker,...

Right from the first moments of “The Factory,” it’s clear that Greyhair (Denis Shvedov) has been through some shit. He chooses to walk six kilometers every morning, rain or shine, to the factory where he works, forgoing the company bus because it’s too noisy. Once there, he feeds metal rods into a machine all day long with monotonous efficiency, without saying a single word to his co-workers.

Variety has been given access to an exclusive clip from Yury Bykov’s “The Factory,” which world premieres Saturday at the Toronto Film Festival. Wild Bunch is selling the film.
Bykov has become one of Russia’s best known directors in recent years with his critically acclaimed films “The Fool” and “The Major.” The multi-hyphenate director, delivers his latest social drama, a study of corruption, moral compromise and the behavior of people in impossible situations in “The Factory.”
The film is set in a dilapidated industrial building on the outskirts of a provincial Russian town. Many of its workers have been employed before the change from state regulation to capitalist privatisation. When owner Konstantine Kalugin (Andrey Smolyakov), a local oligarch with deep-rooted links to the top, announces that the factory is bankrupt, a group of workers who haven’t been paid for months kidnap him and hold him for ransom.

From his unforgettable turn as Louis, a small time crook turned murderer in George Clooney’s Suburbicon, to his imminent role as Johannes Brandt in the BBC’s adaptation of Jesse Burton’s best selling novel The Miniaturist, 2017 has been a rather busy year for Alex Hassell. Known primarily for his theatrical roles, first as part of the RSC and later within his own theatre company The Factory, the actor has until now remained largely unknown to the general public, but things are about to change, much to the delight of those who have championed his theatrical output for the last few years.
A few days ago, we were lucky enough to speak to Alex about his upcoming role in The Miniaturist, and about his experiences of working in Hollywood on a production such as Suburbicon, and how that differs from his life as a theatre actor.

The stars of yesterday now are making three films a year you never knew existed until they show up on Netflix.^ Real Movie ^
In my prior life as a script reader, I certainly read a lot of bad scripts, but at times, an even more common occurrence was a script that seemed to do a great many things right, but somehow fell just short of being something you wanted to champion as a movie. As draining as the terrible scripts were, there’s something pure about clear-cut bad. It takes little effort to explain why they’re unfit.
The real challenges were the scripts that had kind of a decent premise, kind of an okay twist or two, and a lead character who wasn’t bad so much as he or she was just… there. The raw materials are there for what Could be a script. They just happen to be assembled in the least compelling way...

John Cusack has made 17 films in four years. We've found the ones that have gone all-but straight to DVD and watched them...
John Cusack is a bit of a Hollywood oddity. There’s no pattern to the type of movie he will choose to do, so he’s always kept us on our toes. Sure, he’ll make a dumb action movie, but that will often afford him the chance to make a few smaller gambles later on. Up until the last few years he’s played the system very well, but recently his ethic appears to have, um, waned? A little?
Since the heady days of Say Anything and Sixteen Candles he’s come to represent a sort of slightly weird-looking, awkwardly charming, offbeat everyman that men aged 18-49 can look at and go 'me'” - which is fine. There’s a place for that, as...

Trying to outdo Nicolas Cage in the number of mediocre movies he can appear in, John Cusack is in yet another movie we didn't know existed (or possibly forgot about). It's called "The Factory," and apparently it's been on DVD since February. Huh. In any case, the U.K. trailer is here, and the folks who cut it really want to make sure a voiceover holds your hand, explaining everything every step of the way. Co-starring Jennifer Carpenter ("Dexter"), Mae Whitman ("Arrested Development") and Katherine Waterston (one of our 2014 Actresses On The Rise), the generic story follows a cop hunting a serial killer who gets more than he bargained for when his own daughter goes missing. Morgan O'Neill (Sam Worthington surf movie "Drift") co-wrote and directed this wintery procedural, which doesn't seem to shake up the genre too much. But hey, if this kind of mediocrity helps Cusack keep his lights on,...

Nicolas Cage and John Cusack have been less than discerning with their film gigs in recent years, picking a lot of modestly budgeted thrillers that get poor reviews and barely go theatrical. How many remember the likes of "The Bag Man," "Drive Hard," "The Frozen Ground," "The Factory," "Seeking Justice," "Stolen," "Trespass," "Rage," or "The Numbers Station"?
Today comes trailers for two more. First up is "Left Behind," the film version of the popular book series by Tim Lahaye and Jerry B. Jenkins which deals with what would happen if the Christian Rapture and Apocalypse took place today. The focus here though isn't on wider society, but rather a family lead by Cage's pilot character.
The second is for Cusack's "Reclaim" which co-stars Ryan Phillippe, Rachelle Lefevre, Jacki Weaver and Luis Guzman. That follows an American couple who travel to Puerto Rico to finalize an adoption, only to learn it was a scam.

What to Watch is back in two-week form this time around, hitting the most important Blu-ray, DVD, and streaming offerings from both March 25th and April 1st. No April Fool’s Day jokes here. We’re above that. Sorta. What you will find is one of the best movies of last year, a fantastic comedy series, a foreign film you really should see, and further proof that John Cusack is merely slipping into straight-to-dvd oblivion like that damn horse in “The Neverending Story”. Pick one of the six. What the Hell, pick two.

I have only myself to blame. After checking out the trailer for The Bag Man (previously Motel) and noting the presence of John Cusack and Robert De Niro, two actors who have done terrific work in the past (I mean, De Niro has two Oscars on his mantelpiece, for chrissake), I started to get a little excited for this indie crime thriller. Perhaps it would maintain a cool, neo-noir vibe, or at least give Cusack and De Niro a chance to craft nasty, interesting characters. Alas, that quantum of expectation simply made it all the more agonizing for me to sit through one of the laziest, dopiest thrillers I’ve seen in years.
The film starts off with a boring set-up, as criminal Jack (Cusack) gets an assignment from his big-shot boss Dragna (De Niro): pick up a bag and hold it at a seedy motel until Dragna arrives.

Chicago – There have been a depressing number of bad career choices on the part of Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and once-great actor John Cusack in recent years. Anyone seen “Seeking Justice,” “Stolen,” “The Numbers Station,” or “The Factory”? Someone owes you an apology.
The latest entry that merges these two titans of recent B-movies is “The Frozen Ground,” premiering On Demand and in limited release tomorrow, August 23, 2013. With a strong supporting cast and a few interesting procedural elements, Scott Walker’s drama isn’t the disaster as some of the other Cage or Cusack bombs but it still fails due to some poor creative and casting decisions before a lick of film was even shot.
Based on the true story of a serial killer, “The Frozen Ground” is the story of an investigation that hinged, as so many of these often do, on the one that lived. Cindy Paulson...

Chicago – John Cusack’s new spy thriller is so routine, predictable, and dull that they could have called it “By-the-Numbers Station”. Too easy? How about “Paint-by-Numbers Station”? Ok, I’ll stop now before @FakeShalit comes after me. “The Numbers Station,” now available On Demand and opening in Chicago this Friday, isn’t an awful film (it’s better than Cusack’s last dud, “The Factory”) but it’s a remarkably boring one. Co-star Malin Akerman does her best to try and add some character but director Kasper Barfoed can’t figure out the tone of this non-action spy movie and Cusack looks visibly bored. If someone had a camera on you while you were watching it, you would look the same way.

The patently familiar new psycho thriller 6 Souls actually played film festivals back in 2010 under the title Shelter before collecting dust on a Weinstein shelf for a few years, only to pop up on VOD this week. In April of 2013. That's not meant to imply that every genre title that suffers a long release delay is a generic, tiresome, and already outdated piece of low-end cable TV fodder, but in the case of 6 Souls (as well as the recent John Cusack flick The Factory) the plain truth is that it would have been a forgettable turkey three years ago. Today it's just a three-year-old turkey with some mild curiosity value.
The curious will be rewarded with a psychological thriller about a man with multiple personalities that seem to correspond to a half-dozen murder victims. Jonathan Rhys Myers is the lunatic suffering from what I call "early-career Edward Norton" psychoses; Julianne Moore...

No, we're not talking about the recently released John Cusack flick of the same name, though it couldn't possibly be worse, that's for sure. On tap for you cats right now is the first word on the latest spooker coming our way called The Factory.

There's another film on the way taking the moniker of The Factory. Not to be confused with the John Cusack-starring thriller which hit DVD this year, The Factory is a film by Dena Hysell and it's set to star Azura Skye (American Horror Story), Bill Sage and John Hennigan, says Variety.
According to the outlet, the film "chronicles a group considering buying an old factory who then get trapped inside trying to escape the demons from the factory’s past."

There's more than enough about The Factory to make it seem at least slightly intriguing to fans of genre cinema: it stars John Cusack and Jennifer Carpenter as a pair of detectives who are in constant pursuit of a despicable serial killer; it has a subplot about a psycho who kidnaps and mistreats young women that feels like it was yanked right out of a particularly uncreative horror film; and it's been sitting on a shelf over at Warner Bros. for well over four years. Components like that will often pique the interest of the intrepid genre fan, and since I am absolutely one of those intrepid genre fans, you can trust me when I say that The Factory is composed of seven or eight other films you've already seen before. And not composed especially well.

Chicago – John Cusack is in a very bad mood. Not even a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner can melt his icily grim disposition, as he speeds through traffic, shouts expletives at random extras and takes part in several terse phone conversations (hopefully with his agent). Of course, if I was an A-grade actor trapped in Z-grade dreck, I’d be peeved too.
Morgan O’Neill’s bargain basement thriller, “The Factory,” continues Cusack’s curious descent into grisly schlock destined for a direct-to-video release. As grossly miscast as the actor may have been in James McTeigue’s dreadful “The Raven,” the role at least allowed Cusack to exude some semblance of dry, deadpan wit. “The Factory” merely requires him to appear miserable, and suffice it to say that the actor’s misery is wholly convincing.
DVD Rating: 0.5/5.0

In The Factory Mike Fletcher (John Cusack) is a detective with a strong mission to find the killer of prostitutes in the Buffalo NY area. The victims are women and girls with no family ties or other attachments so their disappearances dont even create a ripple in many cases it is weeks before anyone even notices the women are gone. Avenging societies forgotten and undesirable has become an obsession for Det. Fletcher and he pursues his goal while neglecting his own family.

If you ever find yourself kidnapped by a serial killer intent on impregnating you and starting a family, you better hope that the cop on the case to find you isn’t John Cusack because he will suck at doing so. In the psychological thriller The Factory, Cusack demonstrates the reasons why he should stay away from serious films and why he’s definitely a better actor than a hard-nose detective.
The Factory follows Detective Mike Fletcher (Cusack) as he and his partner Kelsey (Jennifer Carpenter) search for the person responsible for the mysterious disappearances of prostitutes throughout Buffalo. Just as the case gets shut down by the department due to lack of evidence, Fletcher’s rebellious young daughter, played by Mae Whitman, is kidnapped by the same person Fletcher is hell-bent on finding.

Serial killers have long been the stuff of which nightmares are made. The serial killer sub-genre of horror has brought us some amazingly memorable characters that still haunt us to this day. On February 19th Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will bring us a new name in fear with The Factory.
Starring John Cusack and Jennifer Carpenter as detectives tracking a murderer, The Factory is set in the bitter cold of a Buffalo winter. A great place to hunt a hunter. And to celebrate the release of this newest addition to the sub-genre, we've compiled a list of the Top 11 Movie Serial Killers.
There is certainly a long list of names to choose from, but we narrowed the field a bit by limiting it to those who were just regular human people. No supernatural involvement here, just a person or group of people who've gone off the deep end and made...

Vengeance is a dish best served cold, is the old trope. Just as heavily said, so is the criminal with the heart of gold. Combing the two will be the independent feature “For the Dogs,” now starring a popular actor.
Sam Worthington will now star in the aforementioned action-thriller. The movie is based on Kevin Wignall’s novel of an assassin who becomes sympathetic to a college girl’s quest for revenge. One in which she will repay the murders of her parents and younger brother. Worthington last appeared in “Wrath of the Titans,” and is most famously known for participating in the blockbuster “Avatar,” as well as possibly acting in its sequel.
The creative process will be backed by writers Oren Moverman and Paul Leyden. Leyden having created the adaptation, has written the screenplay for “The Factory,” and recently, completed his directorial debut, “Come Back to Me.” Moverman has...

It may not seem like it, but 2012 was actually a pretty good year for horror films. (Check this piece I did for Twitch.) It just wasn't a very good year for Hollywood horror flicks. If you chose to focus on imports and indies, however, there was no shortage of quality scary flicks worth watching. But like all the best nerds, horror nerds want to know what's coming up Next! So I ran through the calendar and put together a horror cinema preview for 2013. I've actually seen a few of these (thank you, film festivals) and will include a link to my review when they come up.

Warner Home Video has set a February 19th release date for The Factory, the thriller starring John Cusack which has been sitting on the shelf for a few years now.
When the film made its debut this year at the Los Angeles Screamfest, we suspected it was going to finally get a release - how wide it would go was unknown. Would the studio opt for a limited theatrical run? I guess not.
Jennifer Carpenter also stars in this Morgan O'Neill-directed flick.
