Nashville was once famously called a ‘ten year town,’ because that’s about how long an artist has to make it there. Maggie Rose has been at it longer than that. Along the way, she struggled to break through in mainstream country music by submitting herself to the machine: playing CMA Fest in the midday summer sun, visiting countless radio stations, and releasing country singles that went nowhere.
Finally, she had enough. In 2018, with her aptly titled LP Change the Whole Thing, Rose threw up her hands and began making...

Original "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" scribes Ed Solomon and Chris Matheson are almost extensions of their characters. They've written all three movies in the series, maintaining their close friendship for over forty years. From the script's first draft, the idea was less about a time-traveling history lesson and more about making a buddy movie with two lovable rockers. The SoCal duo, known as the Wyld Stallyns, didn't necessarily have to go on a grand adventure through time to be compelling. Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) wandering around the quiet suburban streets of San Dimas, California, jamming guitar and hanging out at the Circle K could've been a great mumblecore movie all on its own.
The same could be said for "Back to the Future." When Marty McFly plugs into that Gibson Ga-5T and sends himself flying through the air in a sonic blast, he already seems like your new best friend.

Showtime’s Emmy-nominated survival drama Yellowjackets has revealed another teenage cast member who survives to the present day.
Six Feet Under alum Lauren Ambrose has joined the cast of the breakout series from creators Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson. Ambrose will play the adult version of Van, the 1990s-set teenage character played by Liv Hewson. As part of Thursday’s announcement, the premium cable network also revealed that Hewson has been promoted to series regular.
The casting arrives after the January freshman season finale opened the door for additional surviving members of the Yellowjackets team in the show’s present-day storyline.

Noah Centineo‘s new Netflix gig is a decidedly different one from that of Lara Jean’s boyfriend: The To All the Boys actor will star as a fledging CIA lawyer in an untitled drama for the streamer, TVLine has learned.
Created by Alexi Hawley (The Rookie, Castle), the series follows Centineo’s character as he becomes “enmeshed in dangerous international power politics when a former asset threatens to expose the nature of her long-term relationship with the agency unless they exonerate her of a serious crime,” per the official synopsis.

Weezer put a new spin on socially distanced late-night performances with their rendition of “Hero” on The Tonight Show Wednesday.
To start, the band transformed the riff-heavy track into a piano power ballad, led by frontman Rivers Cuomo, who appeared at his piano at home and began performing the song alone. Soon though, the TV over his shoulder flashed on and the other members of Weezer — Pat Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner — appeared on screen to provide accompaniment.

Granik also directed “Leave No Trace,” which stars Ben Foster as an Iraq War veteran suffering from Ptsd and Thomasin McKenzie as his 13-year-old daughter living in isolation in a public park in Portland, Ore., and then in the trackless woods.
The winners were announced Saturday night at USC’s Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial Library. “Leave No Trace” topped “Black Panther,” “Can You Ever Forgive Me?,” “The Death of Stalin,” and “If Beale Street Could Talk.

The USC Libraries has revealed the finalists for the 31st-annual USC Libraries Scripter Award, which honors the year’s best film and television adaptations, as well as the works on which they are based. This group of academics, industry professionals and critics (for which I vote) is often predictive of the Adapted Screenplay Oscar race.
Last year’s Scripter winners were “Call Me by Your Name” screenwriter James Ivory (who won the Oscar), and author André Aciman; past winners include “Moonlight,” “The Big Short” and “The Imitation Game,” which all won Oscars. In fact the past eight Scripter Award winners have gone on to win Oscars.
The finalist writers for film adaptation (listed in alphabetical order by film title):
Screenwriters Ryan Coogler and Joe Robert Cole for “Black Panther,” based on the character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby

“My demons are not remotely tackled. I just survive,” says Amy Adams in HBO‘s ominous preview for upcoming episodes of “Sharp Objects” (watch above). The eight-episode limited series premiered last Sunday, July 8, and it introduced the world — and the many demons — of investigative reporter Camille Preaker (Adams), who’s on a mission to track down a killer in her hometown. So what have we learned so far, and what’s to come?
In the premiere episode, titled “Vanish,” Camille reluctantly accepted an assignment from her editor in St. Louis: she would revisit the town of Wind Gap, where one girl was murdered and another has gone missing. Her sudden arrival upset her mother Adora (Patricia Clarkson), who doesn’t want Camille to stir up trouble in the community that might blow back on her.

It’d be easy for audiences to tune into Sharp Objects with considerably high expectations. It stars Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson, is the latest “prestige” piece of television from HBO, and is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée – who is coming off of a fantastic year with the success of HBO’s 2017 phenomenon,Big Little Lies. Add in source material from Gone Girl’s Gillian Flynn, and you have yourself an unsettling, binge-worthy summer series to watch.
Yet, while Big Little Lies was fantastic, those drawing comparisons between it and Sharp Objects are evaluating HBO’s latest all wrong. Its first episode, “Vanish” demonstrates this perfectly by introducing a story and a leading lady who are so detached, so cut off from reality, that it’d be difficult to compare it to anything else.

Warning: spoilers ahead for “Sharp Objects” Episode 1: “Vanish”
Showrunner Marti Noxon knew that many viewers of HBO’s limited series “Sharp Objects” wouldn’t be prepared for the reveal about protagonist Camille Preaker (Amy Adams) at the end of the premiere episode, but she wanted to give her audience the same “aha moment” from Gillian Flynn’s novel as soon as possible.
The moment we’re talking about comes at the very end of the premiere, titled “Vanish” — a word we see etched onto Camille’s skin, along with several other words scarring her entire body.
“I was mindful that many of the people watching the show would not know the story,” Noxon told TheWrap after Sunday night’s premiere, adding that she remembered the “moment in the book — which actually takes place pretty deep in — where she reveals that she’s a cutter.”

One of the first signs you see when driving through Wind Gap, Mo., is a faded green mural showing a woman waving from her ’50s era convertible. It’s a fitting welcome for newcomers, including visitors and viewers alike, but not because of the kind gesture or visibly outdated iconography. It’s the spray-painted scrawl just to the left of it, where an oh-so-clever vandal has tagged one of George H.W. Bush’s 1992 campaign signs so next to the wholesome, white-teeth flashing beauty queen it reads, “Lick my fucking Bush.”
In Sunday night’s premiere, “Sharp Objects” viewers were taken for a ride into town and greeted in a similar fashion: false-fronting kindness with a nastiness lurking just out of sight. Be it a cold family or cold bodies, Camille Preaker (Amy Adams) serves as our proxy to a small southern staple of broken Americana,...

VANish would have seemed at home at the 1996 Sundance Film Festival, when the first wave of Tarantino imitators were shelling their wares to a studio system that couldn’t pay our fast enough. Of course, as history has taught us, that trend of fast-talking, gun-waving slacker criminals didn’t die out then, but it’s hard to imagine who exactly director Bryan Bockbrader thought he was going to shock. All of the characters play hard at getting the highest decibel intensity that they can, but even the actors seem to know that this schtick is long past its shelf life.

Dont pick up VANish anticipating a big film. And dont look into it expecting some earth shattering concept for that matter either. But you can bet all of your Lucky Charms that youll find a beating heart in the film which still pumps blood long after the credits roll. Kudos go out to Bryan Bockbrader as the man delivers something impacting here and a future run of thrilling pics could very well lie in wait for the celluloid neophyte with a knack for writing directing and even performing.

Today, the indie thriller VANish arrives on Blu/DVD and VOD and to celebrate, Daily Dead recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with prolific character actor Tony Todd, who portrays an oddball highway cop that unknowingly stumbles upon a kidnapping-gone-wrong during a routine traffic stop. During our interview, Todd discussed his involvement with the project, what’s coming next for him and how his enduring legacy as Candyman has allowed him to continue to pursue his interests in social work.
Thanks for speaking with me today, Tony. I thought VANish did a really nice job of doing some unexpected things even if it didn’t have a huge budget. It got very creative with the characters which was a great decision, I think.
Tony Todd: Oh yeah, I’d agree that the story kept things interesting and those choices make it a better experience for audiences,...

What do you get when you mix part action flick, part horror flick, part thriller, and part buddy comedy/road trip movie? Probably something fairly close to VANish. After getting to enjoy Dark Sky Film's most recent release, “Starry Eyes”, for review, I was in no way going to turn down the chance to enjoy their next one.
So, the story set up is this: Jack (Austin Abke), and Max (Bryan Bockbrader, who also writes, and directs) are buddies that decide to kidnap Emma (Maiara Walsh), and hold her ransom, wanting five million bucks from her father (Danny Trejo). Along the way they get help from Afghanistan Vet Shane (Adam Guthrie). However, as the story progresses, we learn that not everyone on this little road trip from hell are who they say they are.

Writer-director Bryan Bockbrader bravely keeps the camera crammed inside the van for the entirety of the film. Abiding by the rules of single-location filmmaking, Bockbrader traps his characters (and the audience) within the van's 8' by 4' interior in order to perpetuate the film's claustrophobic intensity; VANish simultaneously takes full advantage of the inherent forward motion of the road movie genre to propel the narrative deep into the desert where the amateur kidnappers hope to exchange Emma for a cool 5 million dollars.

A trailer for Martin Owen's horror satire 'L.A. Slasher' has arrived bringing with it slickness, a classic 80's tune and an Andy Dick voiceover. 'Death to Reality' cries out the new trailer so much so that you could be mistaken to think that that is the actual title to the feature from writer/director Owen. 'L.A. Slasher' stars Mischa Barton ('Apartment 1303'), Dave Bautista, Marisa Lauren, Danny Trejo ('VANish'), Abigail Wright, Drake Bell, Andy Dick, Brooke Hogan, Eric Roberts, Frank Collison, Elizabeth Morris, Korrina Rico and hottie Tori Black (below). And even though the trailer has a souped-up music video feel to it hopefully the accompanying synopsis below will help clear things up a bit....

Our International Sales Agent (Isa) of the Day coverage is back again for this year's Cannes Film Festival. We will feature successful, upcoming, innovative and trailblazing agents from around the world, and cover the latest trends in sales and distribution. Beyond the numbers and deals, this segment will also share inspirational and unique stories of how these individuals have evolved and paved their way in the industry, and what they envision for the new waves in global cinema.
Isa of the Day Sam Blan is an Executive at the Los Angeles based Inception Film Partners. His intercultural perspective, worldviews and devotion to exploring new ways of reaching and understanding audiences through new platforms and technology makes him an asset and a shining example of where the new generation of the film industry is going. Beyond the ins and outs of business and numbers, Sam understands the importance of positivity and community in the film business. He connects his career and drive to the greater picture of the world, and sees film as a tool of understanding that can heal on the global scale and transform cultural barriers.
Sam shares more about his partners, Cannes and his inspiration:
Who makes up Inception?
The company is only made up of the people who work for it everyday. Inception Media Group is a parent company operated by partners David Borshell and Andy Reimer. I work most closely with Evp of sales and distribution, Jim Harvey, who has been in sales for over twenty-one years, and has worked for companies such as Myriad, Lakeshore, Bold and Summit. He has sold movies like Drive with Ryan Gosling, Rabbit Hole with Nicole Kidman, and Mr. Brooks with Kevin Costner.
I speak fluent Arabic, so having language skills is highly useful in our work. What really makes us different is that we don't just go to festivals. We'll go to consumer electronic shows, licensing expos; we're always thinking outside of the box of not just how to create content, but also how the content is being consumed. How is it being bought, and more importantly, what are the trends facing the future? That's the difference from many other companies. We'll go the extra mile to look at something to understand who is the audience and how they'll be reached.
What does Inception have at Cannes this year?
We have a big animation film called Almost Heroes 3D with Taylor Kitsch, James Woods, Jon Heder, Jennette McCurdy and Carla Gugino (and many others) at the market. We're bringing two new pre-sellable films called Sexy Criminals, and 1001 Bullets. As far as newer acquisitions, we have a hilarious film called May the Best Man Win, which came out of SXSW. It will be released theatrically in the United States. We have another film called VANish, with Maiara Walsh and Danny Trejo, that's in a similar vein to Reservoir Dogs meets Buried (See Inception's full Cannes lineup below).
How are sales this year?
So far, so good. I was part of a company called Strategic Film Partners for two and a half years and then Inception Media Group bought it and turned into Inception Film Partners. With the titles that we acquired like Almost Heroes and Barefoot (acquired from Wme), we're definitely in a solid place. We're growing and getting more and more traction.
Who are your buyers?
We deal with buyers from all around the world, but it just depends. It doesn't really matter as far as trying to get access to the buyers, especially when you have a seasoned veteran like Jim on your team. It's a matter of having the right content. We'll deal with everyone like Village Roadshow and BSkyB. We deal with all the major buyers including the studios, such as Sony (which we have done several deals with), mini-majors, and go all the way down to the smaller scale buyers.
We're obviously a newer entity, which comes with the trials and tribulations of any new company. We try to be as transparent as possible. In this business there's a lot of smoke and mirrors, and I'm upfront with what we're trying to create as a business. That's one of the things that we pride ourselves on; we're always going to be honest.
Our estimates are always a little more conservative, because we'd rather be as exact as possible. Window dressing estimates is rampant in our business, but a hard drama usually won't sell in Asia, for instance, so why put an inflated number? To get the movie or make it under false pretenses??? We tell people to make their film budget a little lower, and expect a number that's not going to necessarily be what they think. We want to be as pragmatic as possible. We normally over deliver on expectations because we started from a base that was realistic. Jim consistently exceeds those expectations.
Where does your drive come from and where do you see yourself going?
It beats going to law school, number one! I did really well on my Lsats, and much to my father's chagrin, I said I'm going to Hollywood. Aside from winning young author competitions and being in theater, I really knew nothing about the industry. Furthermore, I was watching television one day when I was 23 years old, and I just didn't like what I was watching. I thought to myself, "I can do so much better than that, and I think it's one of those things where we can't allow mediocrity to be the norm. "
Unfortunately, there's a lot of it in this industry. I'm as guilty of it as anyone else...working with things that are not to the standard of what we'd like to have out there, but I want to learn and grow as much as possible. I’m an autodidact, and will always be. I love and enjoy entertainment. I just want to share it, because storytelling is the conduit of life in our civilization.
One of my favorite quotes, from Martin Scorsese, is "Now more than ever, we need to talk to each other, to listen to each other and understand how we see the world, and cinema is the best medium for doing this." This quote always gets me, because cinema can transcend boundaries. I'm of Palestinian descent. I speak Arabic, and I travel to the Middle East and all around the world. I'm an interculturalist, and to be able to understand different cultures and use cinema to bridge those gaps is a phenomenal gift. I want to bridge the gap between the east and west and bring meaningful cinema to the world. In order to do that, you have to raise the bar for yourself and for everybody else.
Are there popular films that actually transcend cultural barriers?
At the end of the day, you have to look at one of the best selling genres: family, because it covers the universal themes: happiness, love and the importance of relationships with kith and kin. We all smile in the same language. Other genres such as action work as well. The Hunger Games worked worldwide. I've been a big comic book nerd my whole life, and I think a lot of those stories transcend really well. They come with universal themes. For example, when you talk about Iron Man, it's not just about a guy in a metal suit. It's about a guy who tries to use his power for good to advance the human race. Just look at someone who I admire, Elon Musk, as a real life example of who director Jon Favreau wanted to portray. Although, Marvel’s Iron Man was around way before Elon came on the scene. There are examples like this throughout our movie history. It's the same thing with Spiderman; a normal guy becomes a superhero, and most people can relate to that.
One of the best selling intellectual properties in the Middle East right now is actually about regular people becoming superheroes, and we had a similar show in the USA called Heroes. Everybody around the world can relate to stories when shared through the lens of the heroic journey. When you make it relatable to audiences, they buy tickets and jump on board.
I'm also excited for a lot of films coming out of the Middle East. Look at Omar that was up for the best foreign film in the Oscars. This film helped to explore the political discourse of Palestine and Israel.
Do you have any comments on the film business and its greater community and culture?
Let's help each other out. Every company is obviously in competition, but when I see someone create a good film or something else that's really awesome, I don't get envious of it. I applaud it. It's only good for the industry. When people create good content, it's good for everyone. A lot of people in the industry tear each other down and I think its Bs. It's high time that we all help each other out and rise together. That's what I hope to do in my career. I want to inspire people in my field. I want them to inspire me, and I think it needs to happen more.

The early word on VANish and a trio of stills that feature co-stars Tony Todd, Danny Trejo, and Maiara Walsh landed in our inbox, and given filmmaker Bryan Bockbrader's promise "there's no escaping the chaos," of course we had to share.
