FX Chief Weighs In on Violence on TV, It's Always Sunny and Anger Management

"I'm a really curious person ... I'd be interested in studies on violence in entertainment and the correlation of violence in real life," FX chief John Landgraf told reporters at the FX winter previews Wednesday. "If we find meaningful correlations, we should act on those correlations."

Landgraf, whose network airs the sometimes brutally violent Sons of Anarchy, was responding to the inevitable questions about violence and responsibility question that has been prevalent at the Television Critics Association tour this month. Although he pointed out that the U.S. and U.K. consume the same violent media (The Walking Dead is the No. 1 cable show in England), violent gun deaths are significantly higher in the States. He theorized that it is differences in the countries' gun-control policies ...

Apparently, Klaus Kinski sexually molested his daughter, Pola, for years.

Posted: 09 Jan 2013 09:07 AM PST

Interview with Pola Kinski by Der Stern (in German)

The original article is in German, so here's the gist of it: Pola Kinski is going to release an autobiography soon, and in it, she claims her father sexually abused her over a period of 14 years, starting when she was five.

Some quotes, crapy ad-hoc-translation by myself: "He didn't care when I struggled, when I said 'I don't want this'. He just took what he wanted."

"He treated himself to a little sexual object, which he bedded on silk pillows."

"I just can't hear it anymore [...] Since he's been dead, this idolization is just getting worse and worse."

Well... that sucks, big time. On screen, Kinski allways extrudes this very creepy vibe; and he had a reputation of being a megalomaniacal asshole, who respected no one except himself. I've been able to overlook all of this in light of his mesmerizing screen presence. But this? I don't think I'll be able to watch any of his movies again. :-(

EXCLUSIVE: Noel Clarke Talks Battling Monsters in Storage 24

Posted: 09 Jan 2013 12:32 AM PST

Noel Clarke discusses Storage 24

Actor/writer/producer Noel Clarke discusses his new thriller Storage 24, currently available on VOD before hitting theaters January 11

Noel Clarke is getting to the point where he may have literally done it all in movies and television. Fans of the BBC series Doctor Who will know him for his arc as Mickey Smith. He has also written, directed, produced, and starred in his own indie features such as Kidulthood, Adulthood, and Doghouse. His profile will likely be even bigger with his mysterious role in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek Into Darkness later this summer. The talented multi-hyphenate can next be seen in the thriller Storage 24, which, of course, he also co-wrote and produced.

The actor stars as Charlie, a broken man who heads to a London storage facility with his friend Mark (Colin O'Donoghue), after his girlfriend Shelley (Antonia Campbell-Hughes) leaves him. Things get awkward when Shelley and her friend Nikki (Laura Haddock) are already there, splitting up the couple's possessions. However, this foursome has bigger issues to deal with, namely the vicious alien monster prowling through the facility, killing anything in its path.

I recently had the chance to speak with Noel Clarke about Storage 24, which is currently available through VOD formats before debuting in theaters January 11. Here's what he had to say about this claustrophobic horror-thriller.

Can you first talk about the inception of this movie? Was there some sort of incident in a storage facility, and it evolved from there?

Noel Clarke: Yeah, man. I literally was at a storage facility with a family member, just walking around the corridors, thinking, 'This place is crazy.' There's no windows, there are the same lights, and if you walk too far and try to find your way back, you find yourself looking down a corridor and going, 'Where is everyone?' I thought, wouldn't it be crazy if there was a serial killer that was killing people in one of these places? One day, I woke up and I was like, 'Don't be ridiculous. A serial killer is ridiculous. An alien would be better' (Laughs). I switched it to an alien, had the idea, started writing it, got my writing team on it, then we hired (director) Johannes (Roberts).

I saw there are a number of other writers credited on this. Are those all guys on your team then? Did the story change much after you decided on the alien?

Noel Clarke: Yeah. The way I work with the guys is I'll write the draft, and then say what I think needs changing. They'll come back with their input, and they'll do a draft. Of course, when you hire a director, you have to let him do his draft. It's not too different from what I originally thought, or what I originally wrote. It's in a storage facility, so you can't change it that much. In terms of Johannes changing my character from a tough guy to a weak guy, and stuff like that, he brought elements to it. It really changed in that respect, and that was great.

I asked because I saw you have a story credit, and most times, that means a lot has changed from the original draft to what shows up on screen.

Noel Clarke: We were trying to figure out how to do that. I wrote the screenplay with the guys, but I wanted people to know that it was my idea as well, not just the fact that I was the co-writer. That was important, to me, that people understand I am trying to think outside of the box.

Did you shoot in an actual, working facility like this, or was it all studio work?

Noel Clarke: We looked for a storage facility, and, of course, we weren't allowed to shoot. They're like, 'You can't have a creature running around.' So, we built that whole set in a studio. The walls were movable, and we had three corridors and, of course, green screen at the end. Once you've done that, and you have a couple of left turns, you can do what you want. That was all a build. The exterior locations weren't far away either, so it was a contained shoot.

Can you talk a bit about the look of the alien? It has quite a distinct look. Can you talk about what you really wanted this creature to look like?

Noel Clarke: When I initially had the idea, and hired Johannes, I said to him, 'I kind of want the creature to look like Carnage from Spider-Man, in the comics. That was the basis. I showed him a picture of Carnage, and I said, 'I want you to go away and design your own monster.' Him and the designer went off, and came back with the creature. I was very happy with it. It was important to me that it wasn't some pig, that it was some humanoid thing. Even though the jaw opens sideways, and it has another mouth, you can see Carnage had that stuff too. That was the basis of it.

It's not really shown in the movie, but did you develop a back story about what actually happened on that plane? Perhaps to be explored in a prequel or sequel?

Noel Clarke: Yeah, you could have prequels and sequels. The back story, essentially, is that this thing had been caught awhile ago. It was being transported from one place to another, because they knew that something was approaching, that was connected to it. The thing was what shot the cargo plane down. When the cargo plane landed, our alien ended up in the storage facility.

Can you talk a bit about putting this cast together? What were the things you were looking for to play the other three main roles?

Noel Clarke: The thing about stepping back and hiring a director, is you have to do just that. I just kind of stepped back. Obviously, I'm a producer as well, but I let Johannes bring in the people he wanted. Colin O'Donoghue was in The Rite, and I thought he was just absolutely fantastic in that movie, with Anthony Hopkins. We really thought he would be great to play Mark. With all due respect to Antonia (Campbell-Hughes), Johannes wanted Shelley to have a different look. He didn't believe my character, Charlie, would have a stunning, beautiful girlfriend, because he's such brooding loner. He wanted the girlfriend to be like a girl next door, so he went with Antonia. Then, of course, Laura (Haddock) is her conventionally-beautiful friend. I was very happy with the job they did.

Did you have a lot of time to shoot this? Was the schedule rushed at all?

Noel Clarke: We had five weeks. We did six-day weeks, and we were in that small set where we could remove the walls. I guess the most challenging thing was crawling through the vents. Those were real tiny. People were claustrophobic. That was the most challenging part, but, essentially, it was a problem-free shoot. The one thing that was crazy was the creature. We shot this guy in a suit. In the dark, it looks amazing. The first day, we got to set and we were sitting outside, getting ready, and the guy walks past us, in broad daylight, in the creature outfit. We were like, 'Oh my God. This looks awful.' We could see the rest of the crew going, 'Oh my God. What are we working on?' But, when we went inside, with the lights off, it looked pretty good. For a moment, it was touch-and-go. We were pretty nervous.

That just shows you the importance of lighting right there.

Noel Clarke: Oh my goodness. I wish I could send you a picture of this thing in broad daylight. You'd be like, 'This is not the same thing.' It's amazing.

A lot of people, myself included, are really excited about Star Trek Into Darkness. Is there anything at all you can say about who you play? The only thing I've seen is your character is a family man with a wife and child. Could you expand on that a bit?

Noel Clarke: Yes, I play a family man, who is seen in the first few minutes. I get approached by that other gentleman, and it goes from there. I can't really say anything more about it, but I'm excited. I loved Star Trek as a kid, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. To be a part of this movie was amazing.

That's about all I have. Thanks so much, Noel.

Noel Clarke: Thanks. Take care.

You can watch writer/producer/actor Noel Clarke as Charlie in Storage 24, currently available on VOD formats before debuting in theaters January 11.

Storage 24 comes to theaters January 11th, 2013 and stars Noel Clarke, Colin O'Donoghue, Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Laura Haddock, Jamie Thomas King, Alex Price, Ned Dennehy, Geoff Bell. The film is directed by Johannes Roberts.

COMICS: The Massive Twist In THE SUPERIOR SPIDER-MAN #1 Revealed

Posted: 09 Jan 2013 09:33 AM PST

I think it's fair to say that none of us will have seen this coming! As you can see from the scans below - which actually found their way online a few days ago - Peter Parker somehow survived the events of Amazing Spider-Man #700 and is now trapped inside his own body. Will he be able to fight back and eventually regain control from the villainous Doctor Octopus? And just how long will he be able to stop Ock's murderous ways?! We'll have to wait and see! Issue #2 goes on sale in two weeks time and I highly recommend checking out this instalment regardless of how you responded to the events of #700.

Bill Pullman Offers An Update On INDEPENDENCE DAY 2

Bill Pullman is no stranger to playing the President of The United States. He is currently playing the role as the Commander and Chief in the new television series 1600 Penn, and he played one in the Summer blockbuster Independence Day. Rumors have been swirling for a long time now as to when or if we will get a sequel to the film that launched Will Smith to movie stardom. While speaking with CraveOnline Pullman gave this hopeful update on the film, "Within a year(They might start shooting), yeah, something like that I guess. I worried about taking this part because it's heating up." He said that he talked to director Roland Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin about his schedule with 1600 Penn, and they told him to go for the series that they would work around it if Independence Day 2 get made.
