Check out the first 3 minutes of Kuso, the ‘weird’ ‘gross’ movie that reportedly had audience members walking out of the theater, when it premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.
Broadcasting through a makeshift network of discarded televisions, KUSO depicts the aftermath of Los Angeles’s worst earthquake nightmare. Viewers travel between screens and aftershocks into the twisted lives of the survived, experiencing a hallucination that is half-Cronenberg, half-Ren & Stimpy.
The debut film from acclaimed producer and rapper Flying Lotus, KUSO is a blistering, fever dream of filmmaking that uses music, special effects and animation to take a unique look at the dark history of America.
KUSO marks the feature directorial debut from Steve, the filmmaking alter-ego of Steve Ellison, better known as music producer, DJ and rapper Flying Lotus. Ellison’s name has become synonymous with creative innovation, having released five seminal studio albums, a slew of audio-visual marvels and, in the process, gaining two Grammy nominations including one for his work on Kendrick Lamar’s “To Pimp A Butterfly”.
Produced by Eddie Alcazar, and featuring Hannibal Buress (NEIGHBORS, Broad City), Anders Holm (Workaholics, The Mindy Project), Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Eastbound and Down), and iconic Funk musician George Clinton, the film also includes an original score and musical collaborations with Aphex Twin and Akira Yamaoka.

Singer Morrissey Biopic ENGLAND IS MINE to Be Released in The US | Trailer
England Is Mine, the biopic about the early life of singer Morrissey, the outspoken former lead singer of seminal British band The Smiths, will be released in the US via Cleopatra Entertainment. The film will open August 25 at the IFC Center in New York, then expand nationwide throughout the fall. This was first exclusively reportedly by Deadline.
England Is Mine is directed by Academy Award® and BAFTA Award nominee Mark Gill (The Voorman Problem), and stars Jack Lowden (Dunkirk) and Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey).
Set in Margaret Thatcher’s Britain of the 1970s and ’80s, a time when working-class Manchester was beset by unemployment and riots, the film tells the story of 17-year-old Steven (Lowden), a painfully shy, intellectually precocious loner who lives for, and writes about, the burgeoning local music scene — a surprisingly vibrant subculture in an otherwise drab industrial city. Too intimidated to join that scene, he writes reviews from the sidelines, imagining what he would do if he were onstage. When one of his write-ups is noticed by kindred spirit Sterling, an aspiring painter, the two become fast friends, and she pushes him to form a band and take to the stage. Steven finally works up the courage to book a club date and performs a dazzling cover of an old girl-group standard. This is the first time the world gets to hear the distinctive, emotion-filled voice that eventually would propel him to stardom.
That very night, a manager reaches out with an offer. Unfortunately, it’s only for the musicians, not the lead singer, meaning Steven will be left behind. His dreams of a musical career vanishes, and he’s left with nothing but wasted days at a soul-crushing civil servant job and lonely nights holed up in the same bedroom he’s slept in his whole life. Only his mother’s unwavering belief in his talent, and Linder’s constant reminder — “Be yourself, everyone else is taken” — give him the strength to keep trying to become the artist he was always meant to be.

Official Poster for MARSHALL Starring Chadwick Boseman
Before MLK and Malcom X, there was Thurgood Marshall. Check out the brand new OFFICIAL POSTER for MARSHALL, starring Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad, Kate Hudson, Dan Stevens, Sterling K. Brown, and James Cromwell. MARSHALL hits theaters October 13th.
Long before he sat on the United States Supreme Court or claimed victory in Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark case that desegregated schools, Thurgood Marshall (Chadwick Boseman) was a young rabble-rousing attorney for the NAACP. The new motion picture, MARSHALL, is the true story of his greatest challenge in those early days – a fight he fought alongside attorney Sam Friedman (Josh Gad), a young lawyer with no experience in criminal law: the case of black chauffeur Joseph Spell (Sterling K. Brown), accused by his white employer, Eleanor Strubing (Kate Hudson), of sexual assault and attempted murder.

TRUE TO THE GAME Starring Late Nelsan Ellis, Vivica Fox, Columbus Short Sets Release Date | Trailer + Poster
True To The Game, an adaptation of Teri Woods’ fan favorite and NY Times best-selling novel of the same name, and starring the late Nelsan Ellis, will debut in theaters nationwide on September 8, 2017.
Featuring an all star cast including Vivica Fox, Columbus Short, Andra Fuller, Draya Michele, Nafeesa Williams, newcomer Erica Peeples and the late Nelsan Ellis, True To The Game chronicles the love story of a charismatic drug lord, Quadir (Columbus Short) and Gena, a young woman from the projects of Philadelphia. Set in the 1980s in Harlem, NY, this exciting story comes to life as it shows their journey of love while navigating the nuances of the drug game, and their movement towards positivity when tragedy strikes.
“I am humbled and honored to have partnered with Manny Halley and Imani Motion Pictures to bring the True To The Game vision to life. As my fans have been anticipating this release for years, I am anxious for the loyal readers to view this adaptation on the big screen,” says Teri Woods, Author of True To The Game.
“As a fan of Teri Woods and her creative contributions to depict the reality of urban life, I am excited to have acquired the rights and bring her vision to life. True To The Game is a favorite because it highlights everything that all people want: financial prosperity, love and happiness. However, it also shows that there is a heavy price associated with those things in the street life. The film will highlight the impact of consequences of self motivated actions that that alter the lives of many,” says Manny Halley, CEO of Imani Motion Pictures.

Tribeca Film Festival Award Winning Film THE DIVINE ORDER Gets a Fall Release Date | Trailer
Petra Volpe’s The Divine Order, winner of the Audience Award at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival, will open at New York’s Film Forum on October 27, 2017, before a national rollout during the Fall.
The Divine Order is the story of Nora, an agreeably submissive and seemingly unremarkable young housewife living in a small village in Switzerland in 1971, as the rest of the world is changing and women there still don’t have the right to vote. After Nora experiences unfamiliar stirrings of dissatisfaction with her place in society, she begins to stand up to the closed minded townsfolk of both sexes in her village. Despite obstacles and backlash (and some amusing sequences including one with a guru who has Nora and her compatriots use a mirror in an unusual way) Nora becomes a hero as she overthrows the status quo.
The release of The Divine Order is the first co-acquisition for Kino Lorber and Zeitgeist Films after announcing their unique strategic alliance yesterday.
Nancy Gerstman and Emily Russo: “We couldn’t be more excited that THE DIVINE ORDER will be the first collaboration between Kino Lorber and Zeitgeist Films. We were totally bowled over when we saw it at the Tribeca Film Festival this year, and not at all surprised when it won the Audience Award. It has everything that would entertain viewers — a compelling story, great acting and fine direction — and it’s sexy too!”
“We are very proud to be a part of this new power-collaboration between Kino Lorber and Zeitgeist Films,” wrote Susan Wendt in a prepared statement. “We are sure they will do a great job with The Divine Order.”
