Boston Underground XXVI: Bob Odenkirk Actioner NORMAL To Open The 26th Edition In March We’re still a ways from the Magnolia Pictures release of Ben Wheatley’s latest action thriller, Normal, starring Bob Odenkirk of Nobody fame. That still leaves plenty of time for the new flick to make the festival rounds and so the latest move will be at the twenty-sixth edition of the Boston Underground Film Festival which kicks off its four-day event on March 18. The announcement below is also listing screenings of TIFF favorite from director Curry Barker, Obsession, along with the upcoming Independent Film Company and Shudder release, Saccharine from Aussie director Natalie Erika James, and a repertory screening of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. The official line-up remains pending and I actually can’t wait to jump back into these festival updates again. If the addition of Normal as its opener is any hint, I gather folks will be in for a treat. Read on below and hit up the […] The post Boston Underground XXVI: Bob Odenkirk Actioner NORMAL To Open The 26th Edition In March appeared first on Film Combat Syndicate.

SHADOW TRANSIT: Yoshi Sudarso And Qymira Run The Night In The Official Trailer! I mentioned previously that I was inclined to believe that director/producer Pedring Lopez hasn’t lost his step after directing actioners Nilalang and Maria. A teaser had been circulating for his latest film, Shadow Transit, which is currently positioned for the QC Selects section of this year’s 13th QCinema International Film Festival which kicks off in Quezon City on November 14. That teaser wasn’t embeddable though and for that matter, probably wasn’t the preferred asset for Lopez’s new action noir as he and the good folks over at BlackOps Studios Asia got the gears rolling on its promotion. In any case, that all changed on Monday with the release of the film’s official trailer ahead of its QCinema festival premiere, with a cast led by Yoshi Sudarso and actress/recording artist, Qymira, along with KC Montero and Sanya Smith, and a script by Lopez. In the electric chaos of Manila nights, a […] The post SHADOW TRANSIT: Yoshi Sudarso And Qymira Run The Night In The Official Trailer! first appeared on Film Combat Syndicate.
