  • A Comparison of Philip K. Dick's “We Can Remember It for You Wholesale”
    Memories of Future Masculine Identities: A Comparison of Philip K. Dick’s “We Can Remember it for you Wholesale”, the 1990 Film Total Recall and its 2012 Remake Amaya Fernández-Menicucci Imagined memories of masculine identities But what I’ve really done is, I have atavised [my characters’] society. That although it’s set in the future, in many ways they’re living—there is a retrogressive quality in their lives, you know? They’re living like our ancestors did. I mean, the hardware is in the future, the scenery’s in the future, but the situations are really from the past. (Philip K. Dick quoted in Spivard 1990: i) Memory as a process of identity construction is at the heart of the three texts I discuss in this paper: Philip K. Dick’s short story “We Can Remember it for you Wholesale”, published in 1966, but written in the 1950s; the 1990 film Total Recall directed by Paul Verhoeven; and Len Wiseman’s 2012 version of the latter by the same titled . In each of these three texts, a man struggles to remember who he was, as he discovers that his present identity has been artificially implanted in his brain, after all previous memories of his true self were erased. However, the three texts do not rely on memory as the only mechanism of self- construction. Indeed, fantasy and desire emerge as the first strategies Between, vol.

Although these texts are clearly popular, can they tell us anything else? Why are these same stories, and the action that occurs within them, repeated in an almost obsessive fashion? Not unlike traditional gothic texts that were primarily written in the late 18th Century or early 19th Century, the repetition and ritualistic nature of these tales hint at a trauma that must be worked through. The trauma that one can see in both contemporary and traditional gothic texts results from erasure of the feminine,and the continuance of pervadingacts of misogyny throughout. However, many contemporary gothic texts do not stop at simply recognizing this trauma, or working through it.Indeed, these texts have begun to imagine a new social contract between the sexes—which is the very relationship in which the original trauma occurs.

  • Production Notes
    PRODUCTION NOTES Underworld: Blood Wars, the newest installment of the blockbuster franchise, finds Vampire Death Dealer Selene (Kate Beckinsale) fending off brutal attacks from both the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that has betrayed her. Aided by her only allies, David (Theo James) and his father Thomas (Charles Dance), she must end the eternal war between Lycans and Vampires, even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice. The fifth film in the hugely successful action-horror series picks up the action where Underworld Awakening left off. The Lycans have found a powerful new leader in Marius (Tobias Menzies), who has injected a fanatical sense of purpose and discipline into their previously ragtag ranks. Marius will stop at nothing to track down Selene in order to learn the whereabouts of her daughter Eve, a Vampire-Lycan hybrid. Joined by David, Selene barely manages to elude her Lycan trackers until a truce negotiated by David’s father Thomas allows her to take refuge at the Eastern Coven, ruled by the ambitious Semira (Lara Pulver). In abject fear of the escalating Lycan threat, Selene’s former Vampire adversaries hope her legendary fighting skills will help them eradicate the Lycan scourge once and for all. But when Selene discovers that some of her Eastern protectors have traitorous agendas of their own, she and David are on the run again, forced to seek sanctuary behind the walls of the mysterious Nordic Coven, a peaceful sect of Vampires living in monk-like seclusion in the northernmost regions of the earth. But their newfound sense of security in the snow-covered lands of Var Dohr is fleeting, for wherever Selene goes, the centuries-old war between Vampires and Lycans always follows.

  • Underworld: Evolution Production Notes
    UNDERWORLD EVOLUTION œ In Cinemas January 19 PRODUCTION NOTES As the feud between vampires and werewolves escalates to new heights, so too does Underworld Evolution, delivering a veritable feast of bloodthirsty power, forbidden love and sweeping vengeance. With the exposure of well-kept secrets and the tough resolve of one betrayed Vampire warrior, a centuries-long struggle between vicious predators has reached new heights of fierceness. But it‘s one Immortal‘s insatiable lust for power that leads to disturbing new disclosures about the origins of the feud between the Vampires and the Lycans. The past just got very twisted, and the future may reveal an entirely new breed, the likes of which no one has ever seen. The Underworld saga continues as hunted Vampire Selene (Kate Beckinsale) seeks out Marcus (Tony Curran), king of the Vampires, in the hope of bargaining for her life. Hybrid Michael (Scott Speedman) wants to join Selene in her quest but is unable to trust the werewolf raging uncontrolled inside him, and she refuses his companionship. Their love proves more powerful than genetics, however, when Marcus descends upon Selene, intent on annihilating her. In the battle that ensues, Selene discovers that she has been betrayed by her own family and she sets out to seek her revenge. Selene seeks out Adrian Tanis (Steven Mackintosh), official Historian of the Covens, for help unraveling the web of lies spun by Marcus and Viktor (Bill Nighy) in their battle for supremacy. Intrigue deepens when Tanis reveals the identity of the first true Immortal: not Marcus or Viktor as was believed, but Alexander Corvinus (Derek Jacobi), father to Marcus and his twin brother, William.

  • Recuperating Fatherhood in Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds
    1 H. Hamad 9 January 2011 Extreme Parenting: Recuperating Fatherhood in Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds (2005) Hannah Hamad Surrounding the release of Steven Spielberg’s science-fiction blockbuster War of the Worlds (2005), a widely mediated publicity still featured star Tom Cruise with his arm protectively placed around the shoulders of young co-star Dakota Fanning, as they gaze heavenwards in bewildered wonder. [INSERT FIGURE hamad.1 HERE] The widespread promotional use of this image, as opposed to one showcasing its genre, spectacle or blockbuster credentials to greater effect, manifestly indicated that fatherhood and familial relations would be thematically prominent. This thematic bent was commensurate with recent developments in Spielberg’s output and, as this chapter will ultimately contend, with a current trend in depictions of screen fathers, manifested across the spectrum of Hollywood’s male star led genres. One way of understanding the film’s thematic preoccupation with fatherhood is as a continuation of Spielberg’s longstanding concerns with fragmented and troubled families, through his output over time via recurring character types and scenarios like the inadequate father and child in peril. Spielberg scholars identify these as authorial concerns1 arising from his autobiographical investment in broken families and troubled fatherhood.2 War of the Worlds is thus a logical entry to his extant filmography in thematic terms, featuring a Spielbergian narrative impetus striving towards reuniting a fragmented family, in which the 2 H. Hamad 9 January 2011 father no longer has a place. He shepherds his children away from danger and toward their mother amidst the crisis of an alien invasion, while transforming and rehabilitating his paternal credentials, which are initially presented as inadequate.

  • REV Torjussen Mini Bio,Credits 9-21-18
    Composer: Ceiri Torjussen Studio (US) : 001 310 559-6128 | Studio (UK) : 02920 624-669 Mobile : 001 310 384-6851 www.ceiri.com | [email protected] Multi award-winning composer Ceiri Torjussen’s music was described by the Los Angeles Times as a “sudden bolt of creative lightning.” Welsh-born, but based mainly in Los Angeles, his credits run the gamut of independent films, documentaries, network TV, animation and large budget studio films. He is also an accomplished composer of concert and experimental music. Torjussen recently completed scoring the 4-hour, doc-series Pistorius for Amazon, about the famed Paralympic athlete and convicted murderer Oscar Pistorius. Recent narrative film projects include the dark drama All Creatures Here Below, and the horror film Primal Rage (released theatrically in 2018). The psychological thriller Jack Goes Home (starring Rory Culkin and Lin Shaye) premiered at SXSW 2016 and critically acclaimed horror film The Canal, which features a terrifying, experimental score, premiered at Tribeca in 2014. His extensive documentary work includes such award-winning films as Mr. Calzaghe (BBC/eOne), about boxing legend Joe Calzaghe, and Becoming Bulletproof (Showtime, 2015), about disabled filmmakers making a Western. In 2013 Ceiri scored two award-winning films: Test (winner of Outfest and featured at the 2014 Berlinale), a drama set in the 1980s, features a moody, ambient electronic score; and on the other end of the stylistic spectrum, Big Ass Spider! (premiered at SXSW 2013), is a nod to the classic monster-movie scores of the 1950s and features full orchestra with a hard-rock edge. He composed additional, heart-thumping action music for Hitman: Agent 47, Repo Men, Live Free or Die Hard and Underworld Evolution, and orchestral action-comedy music for Scary Movie II.
