Currently finishing up Now You See Me: The Second Act, Jon M. Chu already has his sights on a future project. He'll be a producer on Escape, an action adventure by director, screenwriter and cinematographer Tze Chun.Not many details are yet out there about Escape's plot, other than that it involves "tech-savvy criminals who are recruited on a mission". But there's obviously something there, since Paramount have seen fit to give the project a studio home.Tze Chun previously wrote and directed the indie drama Children Of Invention and the thriller Cold Comes The Night, which starred Bryan Cranston and Alice Eve. So it looks likely that he'll man Escape's cameras too, with Chu overseeing. Chu's Now You See Me sequel is out in the UK on June 10, 2016.

The sophomore effort from Tze Chun (Children of Invention), thriller Cold Comes the Night, uses invigorated noir conventions to evoke the betrayed modern social compact in a dreary, post-industrial strip of upstate New York. Chloe (Alice Eve), a poor widow and single mother, manages a fleabag motel, the type that charges prostitutes and johns by the hour. Social Services is on Chloe’s case for providing such a rotten environment for her eight-year-old daughter Sophia (Ursula Parker), giving her two weeks to straighten out their circumstances before they intervene.

In 2009, writer-director Tze Chun garnered much acclaim with his debut feature Children of Invention, a semi-autobiographical film about a single mother and her two children struggling to make ends meet in suburban Boston. At first glance, Chun's follow-up, the new film Cold Comes the Night, would seem to be a radical departure; this is very much a genre piece, with the familiar elements of a duffel bag full of cash, scary men with guns, dirty cops, and such. A closer look, however, reveals that. thematically, the two films have much in common. Both films are dramatically fueled by the desperation of their single mom protagonists, who are in great need of money to give themselves and their children a better life. Also, both films are...

Coming off the final season of AMC’s brilliant drama series Breaking Bad, Bryan Cranston has already earned the respect and admiration of every critic and viewer out there. As chemistry teacher-turned-meth kingpin Walter White, Cranston commanded the small screen with shattering force and, throughout five wonderful seasons, developed one of the most complex antiheroes in television history. As that show concluded, fans mourned not only the loss of Breaking Bad as a whole but also Cranston’s incredible performance. Many questioned whether we’d ever see the actor as anything other than Walter White again.
So, it’s refreshing to see that in Cold Comes the Night, a tense and effective modern film-noir, the actor isn’t content to live off the sizable goodwill that Breaking Bad has afforded him. As near-blind Polish career criminal Topo, Cranston is an exceptionally strong antagonist, equal parts menacing and mysterious. Saddled with a thick accent,...

Tze Chun’s 2010 feature-length debut "Children of Invention" involved a floundering single mother engaging in ill-fated pyramid schemes as a frantic means of providing for her two young children. Chun's follow-up "Cold Comes the Night" also involves a single mom embarking on an illegal scheme for the sake of her child, but it places the conundrum in the context of a tightly wound noir thriller. While the fundamental drama stems from credible lower class struggles, the plot’s criminal element engages with these issues like a blunt instrument. Even so, Chun treats the material with a sophistication that brings its pulpy scenario down to earth. Not even Bryan Cranston with a cheap Slavic accent can stop him. Set in an isolated upstate town, "Cold Comes the Night" focuses on motel owner Chloe (Alice Eve) at the end of her rope as she fights to make rent and care for daughter.

Two male abductors are given a gratifying run for their money by Alice Eve and Halle Berry in two very different thrillers
It's a common complaint that thrillers in general, and anything inflected by horror in particular, exploit the spectacle of the female victim. Yet while there may be some truth in that generalisation, both genres are equally likely to subvert such hackneyed traditions, turning gender conventions on their head while seemingly conforming to stereotype. As Carol J Clover observed in her seminal work Men, Women and Chain Saws, the resourceful spectre of the avenging "final girl" is as much a staple of the slasher movie as the "primal" male monster, lending a radical element to films that are too often dismissed as inherently reactionary and misogynist. As always with cinema, appearances can be deceptive.
Take two very different releases, both with resourceful women giving male abductors a run for their money.

★★☆☆☆ After earning praise for his first feature Children of Invention (2010), Tze Chun returns to cinemas with follow-up Cold Comes The Night (2013). Whilst the presence of Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston will undoubtedly pique interest, Chun's latest is an overly safe sophomore offering. Set against a wintry backdrop, Cold Comes the Night centres on Chloe (Alice Eve), a single mother who runs a shabby motel with her daughter, Sophia (Ursula Parker). She allows a prostitution ring to run on the premises under the supervision of bent cop Billy (Logan Marshall-Green), whose affection for Chloe is never reciprocated.
En route to deliver cash to his boss, near-blind Polish criminal Topo (Cranston) comes to the motel for the night, but after his driver is killed in an accident the felon forces Chloe to help him recover his stolen money. Though frightened, Chloe attempts to capitalise on the situation by making a deal with...

Sony Pictures have announced that they have acquired the worldwide rights to Tze Chun’s Cold Comes the Night, and along with the announcement comes a very promising first trailer.
Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston look to be great in the joint leads, with Cranston taking much more of a central role than the more frequent supporting roles we’ve seen from him in recent years. And that can only be good news.
Cold Comes the Night tells the story of a struggling motel owner (Eve) who, along with her daughter (Parker), is taken hostage by a career criminal (Cranston) as he attempts to retrieve his cash package from a crooked cop (Marshall-Green). Everyone gets in over their heads, and a series of double-crosses leaves a string of dead bodies in this pulse-pounding story about desperation and survival.

August means the end of Breaking Bad (shhh, no tears), but it’s clearly only the beginning of great things for Bryan Cranston, who has really found his niche playing terrifying men. The trailer for the new thriller Cold Comes the Night has Cranston morphing into a menacing criminal with an impressive Russian accent, who’s hellbent on stealing back a duffel bag of cash from the cop who took it. Here’s the problem – even scary Russian thugs can be completely blind, so it’s going to take a little extra work to get that money back, like maybe using poor, struggling motel owner Alice Eve as collateral? While Russian Cranston and his aviators is obviously a total badass, it seems like Eve is going to be the show-stealer in the film, directed by Tze Chun (Children of Invention).

In Cold Comes the Night — previously known as Eye of Winter — a down-on-her-luck single mom (Alice Eve) finds herself entangled with a stone-cold Russian gangster who’s going blind (Bryan Cranston). He’s looking for a big bundle of cash — and if Eve doesn’t help him find it, the ruskie promises to “put bullet” in her little girl’s ear.
Can the blond find a way to save herself and her daughter — possibly by breaking bad? We’ll find out in this latest film from Tze Chun, writer and director of the 2009 festival darling Children of Invention.

Remember those thrillers from the mid 1990’s, the kind that would star Ashley Judd, Julia Roberts or maybe Jodie Foster? An often generic variety that specialized in isolated females going up against some character actor tricked out in Karloffian splendor, while pleasant but sinister Philip Glass style piano music plays in the background? Now, of course, trends repeat themselves—they were repeating themselves then from the 80’s and the decade before that and so on, tracking back to classic pictures like Gaslight—and it seems like we are in the midst of another renaissance of creepy dude, on-her-own female and restricted setting. Earlier this year we had The Call, with Halle Berry racing to save Abigail Breslin from a car trunk, and now Alice Eve and Bryan Cranston tangling over stolen money in an indie thriller called Cold Comes the Night.

Bryan Cranston's Eastern European bad guy accent is way better than John Travolta's Eastern European bad guy accent. And that's not the only this first trailer for "Cold Comes the Night" has going for it. It's the first starring role for "Star Trek Into Darkness" supporting player Alice Eve, for starters. (Props to the UK's Total Film for the exclusive trailer debut).
The 31-year-old bombshell plays a hotel owner and mother struggling to pay the bills and to maintain custody of her daughter. "Breaking Bad" badass Cranston appears as a lifelong criminal engaged in a battle of wits over some cash (naturally) with a crooked cop, played Logan Marshall-Green from "Prometheus." Sony Pictures Worldwide has secured distribution for "Cold Comes the Night," which was directed by Tze Chun, who wrote and directed Sundance favorite "Children of Invention."
Sony has yet to announce a release date for North America.

Bryan Cranston is a baaaaaaaaaad man in “Children of Invention” director Tze Chun’s gritty crime thriller “Cold Comes the Night”. In a bit of a twist, the American Cranston is doing what sounds like a Russian accent, while the British Eve is doing an American accent. I’m not sure if Logan Marshall-Green, the other main player in this little drama, does an accent or not, but it would be a shame if he didn’t. Check out the first trailer for “Cold Comes the Night”. A struggling motel owner and her daughter are taken hostage by a nearly blind career criminal to be his eyes as he attempts to retrieve his cash package from a crooked cop. The UK gets it first September 20th, but no word on a Stateside release date yet. I wouldn’t expect to see it at a theater near you, it looks like...

Next month, Bryan Cranston will begin wrapping up his turn on the AMC drama series "Breaking Bad," but that doesn't mean he's not bringing the intimidation elsewhere. Cranston might even be more scary with a Russian accent in this trailer for the indie crime thriller Cold Comes the Night, but there's a twist. As a career criminal trying to retrieve a duffel bag of money from a crooked cop, Cranston also has to contend with the fact that he's completely blind. That's why he uses the young daughter of a hotel manager (Alice Eve) as collateral so she'll help him find the money. This looks like it could be a pretty bad ass little thriller. Here's the first trailer for Tze Chun's Cold Comes the Night, originally from Total Film: Cold Comes the Night is directed by Tze Chun (Children of Invention), who also wrote the script with Nick Simon and Osgood Perkins.

Tze Chun, a 2007 25 New Face based on his great short, Windowbreaker, appears to have done a 180 follow-up to his first feature, the low-key, character-based drama Children of Invention. Cold Comes the Night stars Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston, rising star Alice Eve and a missing bag of cash. But, note that I wrote “appears” in the above sentence. Last year, Kishori Rajan spoke to Chun about this movie while it was in production, and the director says it’s not entirely unlike his previous work: When his manager sent him as a writing sample a psychological thriller script by …...

What is Casting Couch? It’s a casting news column that has a theory casting agents are kind of just coasting going into the Thanksgiving holiday. Bryan Cranston. For a long time he was viewed as being an under appreciated character actor, or even “the dad from Malcolm in the Middle,” but these days he’s basically the most universally beloved actor in the business. It’s amazing what cooking meth in your tighty-whities can do for your career. What a coup for the upcoming crime drama, Eye of Winter, then, that it’s landed Cranston as its lead. He’ll be playing a blind criminal who takes a struggling motel owner (Alive Eve) and her daughter hostage so that they can be his eyes while he attempts to retrieve a package from a crooked cop (Logan Marshall Green). Tze Chun (Children of Invention) will direct and has co-written alongside Osgood Perkins and Nick Simon. [Variety] After...

Ever since Breaking Bad made him super-popular, Bryan Cranston is popping up in everything these days. This year alone, he’s popped up in six films, including Argo, Total Recall, John Carter and Rock of Ages. Now, along with Alice Eve (She’s Out Of My League), Cranston has signed on to star in an indie thriller titled Eye of Winter, which sounds like a dark and haunting snow-based vampire film or something but is actually about a struggling motel owner (Eve) who is taken hostage by a nearly blind career criminal who uses her as a pair of eyes. Cranston is set to play the blind career criminal, which will certainly be an interesting role for a man who has mostly played characters with good visibility.
Also great news is that Ursula Parker (who plays Louis C.K’s daughter in Louie) is playing Alice Eve’s daughter in the film.

It looks like Bryan Cranston is going low key for his next film project after having a pivotal supporting role in Ben Affleck's Oscar contender Argo this year. Variety reports Cranston has joined the cast of Eye of Winter, a thriller that is also adding Alice Eve (She's Out of My League) and Logan Marshall Green (Prometheus). In the film from Children of Invention director Tze Chun, a struggling motel owner (Eve), along with her daughter (Ursula Parker from "Louie"), is taken hostage by a nearly blind career criminal (Cranston) to be his eyes as he tries to retrieve his cash from a crooked cop (Marshall-Green). More below! This could very well be one of those thrillers that debuts at Sundance, just as Children of Invention did back in 2009. And with a cast like this, it means a talented director like Tze Chun will probably get more attention. Cranston...

Elevated into critical acclaim with the modest yet affecting short “Windowbreaker,” which in turn led to his 2009 Sundance feature “Children of Invention,” writer/director Tze Chun's career has grown more promising with every new development. The filmmaker's next effort looks to be his most accomplished yet in terms of genre and the caliber of talent involved. Syncopated Films are set to release Chun's take on the crime drama with “Eye of Winter,” starring Bryan Cranston, Alice Eve (“Star Trek Into Darkness”) and Logan Marshall-Green (“Prometheus”). Eve plays a struggling motel owner who, along with her daughter, is taken hostage by a nearly blind career criminal (Cranston) who uses her as his eyes as he attempts to retrieve his cash package from a crooked cop (Marshall-Green). Penned by Chen, who also co-wrote the script with Osgood Perkins and Nick Simon, the film will also star Ursula Parker...

Another indie project is coming, but with this cast on board – it already looks great. We’ve just learned that Bryan Cranston, Alice Eve and Logan Marshall Green are all set to star in a movie titled Eye Of Winter, which comes from Children of Invention helmer Tze Chun. At this moment we know that Syncopated Films and Sasquatch Films stand behind the whole thing, and for more details check out the rest of this report…
Chun will direct Eye Of Winter from a script which he co-wrote together with Osgood Perkins and Nick Simon. The movie will apparently center on a struggling motel owner who, along with her daughter, is taken hostage by a nearly blind career criminal to be his eyes as he attempts to retrieve his cash package from a crooked cop.

Screencapture of Prescreen’s Sundance trailers page
Prescreen, an online movie-distribution platform created by former Groupon executive Shawn Bercuson, has dedicated a new section of its online site purely to trailers for films selected for the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. The site is unaffiliated with the festival itself and currently features over 80 trailers. Bercuson says he was surprised to learn no such site already existed, and is currently in the process of reaching out to publicity teams of films not yet represented at Prescreen.

#61. Stones in the Sun - Patricia Benoit Known as "Haiti Cherie" back when it was in 2007 Screenwriters and Directors Lab at Sundance, it has since picked up an Annenberg Film Fellowship Grant in 2009 and changed its name to Stones in the Sun. A longtime in the works, Patricia Benoit's debut should be a good fit for the U.S Dramatic Comp or the Next section. Note: pic above is a random shot of Haiti. Gist: Through interconnected stories of exile, a young couple, two sisters and a father and son find that shedding the past is impossible when it is marred by torture and violence. Achingly real and timely, the film reveals the rich complexity of immigrant life in the United States and the powerful links between the personal and the political, the present and the past. Producers: Karin Chien (Circumstance), Ben Howe (Don't Let Me Drown) and Mynette Louie (Children of Invention)(Ioncinema.

#12. California Solo - Marshall Lewy Sundance tends to add films to their line-up that have a musical element -- it could allow for a film like California Solo, a drama toplined by Robert Carlyle to make the cut. Produced by Mynette Louie (Children of Invention), Marshall Lewy's sophomore pic could crack the U.S Dramatic Comp or Premieres category line-up. A fierce perf from Carlyle could help secure a spot. Gist: A former Britpop rocker (Carlyle) who now works on an organic farm gets caught driving drunk and faces deportation after living in Los Angeles for 20 years. In his efforts to stay in the U.S., he must confront the past and current demons in his life. Producer: Mynette Louie (Children of Invention)(Ioncinema.com Preview Page // IMDb Link) ...

Did you miss the Filmmaker Conference at Independent Film Week last month? Me too – I managed to catch a few panels, but I spent most of the week running around, working, and attending other Ifw events (as evidenced by my photo blogs here, here, and here).
Luckily, Ifp will streaming the entire conference available to members. One new video will be added to ifp.org every weekday this month. Membership levels start at $35, which for roughly 30 hours of film industry education (and tons of other benefits) is not a bad deal.
One video is already online – a case study of Sundance Audience Award winning documentary Buck featuring director Cindy Meehl, producer Julie Goldman, editor Toby Shimin, associate producer Sofia Santana, line producer Alice Henty, and co-executive producer and Back Allie Films president Andrea Meditch.

As one of roughly a dozen full time staffers at Ifp, I’ve been working the past six months to help launch the 33rd annual Independent Film Week. It’s our first year at Lincoln Center’s new Elinor Bunin Film Center, and more than a thousand indie filmmakers and industry professionals are in town for the festivities.
In commemoration, I’ve dug up my long neglected digital camera, and I’ll be sharing photo highlights from Ifw all week long. Here are some snapshots from Day 1:

Children Of Invention isn’t a stellar masterpiece of cinematic achievement, but it’s a great dramatic film about the harder edge of life akin to what many experience these days, with the economy and job market what it is.
While the story is of a Chinese mother, trying to raise her two children in America — which presents it’s significance near the end of the film – the essence of the story remains the same… no matter how hard you work, no matter what you sacrifice, life sometimes still has a way of spitting in your face. However, as this story unfolds, we’re reminded that life also has a way of testing us and repaying us for our hardships in the most unexpected of ways and at the least expected moments.
