Posted: Mon., Dec. 28, 2009, 8:00pm PT Adler, McCarthy engulfed in WWII 'Fog' Producers option sci-fi horror comicbook 'Night and Fog' By TATIANA SIEGEL Producers Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy have optioned the sci-fi horror comicbook "Night and Fog" from publisher Studio 407. No stranger to comicbook-based material, Adler has produced such graphic-based fare as "Constantine," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming Brandon Routh starrer "Dead of Night," which is based on the popular Italian title "Dylan Dog." This material is definitely in my strike zone in more ways than one," Adler said, noting his prior role as a producer of such horror projects as the "Tales From the Crypt" series. "But what really appealed to me wasn't so much the genre trappings but rather the characters that really drive this story." Set during WWII, story revolves around an infectious mist unleashed on a military base that transforms its victims into preternatural creatures of the night. But when the survivors try to kill them, they adapt and change into something even more horrific and unstoppable. Studio 407's Alex Leung will also serve as a producer on "Night and Fog." Adler and McCarthy are also teaming to produce an adaptation of "Havana Nocturne" along with Eric Eisner. They also recently optioned Ken Bruen's crime thriller "Tower." "Night and Fog" is available in comic shops in the single-issue format and digitally on iPhone through Comixology.

  • The Boondock Saints - Giustizia Finale (1999) Un Film Che Riesce a Distinguersi Dal Gregge Di Un Genere Tanto Usurato
    The Boondock Saints - Giustizia finale (1999) Un film che riesce a distinguersi dal gregge di un genere tanto usurato. Un film di Troy Duffy con Willem Dafoe, Sean Patrick Flanery, Norman Reedus, David Della Rocco, Billy Connolly, David Ferry, Brian Mahoney, Richard Fitzpatrick, William Young (II), Robert Pemberton. Genere Politico durata 140 minuti. Produzione USA 1999. Due goodfellas irlandesi giocano a fare i giustizieri a Boston. L'agente dell'Fbi Dafoe prova a fermarli. La bella città<I> east coast</I> è ben ripre... Giuseppe Grossi - www.mymovies.it C'è del marcio a Boston. Il sangue versato dalla mafia si mescola con la buona birra irlandese. Il retrogusto è quello della vendetta e del castigo divino. I fratelli Mac Manus credono nella figura del Dio punitore e ritengono sia l'ora di fare piazza pulita. Se il creatore scatenò le piaghe d'Egitto, i due giovani sceriffi fai da te applicheranno un'epurazione totale. Spacciatori, stupratori, assassini. La punizione si trasforma in un dovere da rispettare tutti i santi giorni. 'The Boondock Saints' è una naturale conseguenza della ventata pulp del cinema tarantiniano. Quello dei balordi da punire, degli scontri verbali oltre che fisici, passi biblici inclusi. Troy Duffy si serve del genere senza diventare vittima di confronti, raccontando un hard boiled deduttivo capace di sollevare un interessante problema etico sul senso della giustizia. Laddove il necessario non coincide col giusto e quando le leggi umane si scoprono inapplicabili come i precetti religiosi, la violenza sembra l'unica estrema soluzione. Il film ha il merito di non schierarsi e di delineare protagonisti contradditori, in cui l'opposizione manichea tra bene e male si risolve in anime grigie.

  • Hyphenated Identity of Irish-Americans in Gangster Film Genre
    Journal of Foreign Languages, Cultures and Civilizations December 2015, Vol. 3, No. 2, pp. 1-9 ISSN 2333-5882 (Print) 2333-5890 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jflcc.v3n2a1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.15640/jflcc.v3n2a1 Hyphenated Identity of Irish-Americans in Gangster Film Genre Małgorzata Martynuska1 Abstract The 1990s marks the emergence of a phenomenon in which third generation white ethnic Americans began to reclaim their roots. That was also the decade when the revival of the Irish-American gangster in Hollywood started. This article analyses the ethnic portrayal of Irish-Americans in the gangster film genre from the period of 1990-2010. The films illustrate the process of the shaping of the Irish-American identity by both the American influences and the ethnic environment. Protagonists’ actions are driven by tribal codes of behaviour, loyalty and revenge, all presented with the traditional Hibernian heritage and Catholic faith. The Irish-American characters who hope to define their own identity and assimilate into the American mainstream, soon find out that they cannot escape their ethnic background. Their identity crisis is rooted in inner conflict resulting from the betrayal of Irish heritage in the quest for social acceptance in the American society. Key words: Irish Americans, gangster film genre, identity, heritage, ethnicity 1. Introduction “American urban ethnic history begins with Irish Catholic immigrants. […] A steady stream became a flood during the years of the Great Famine, 1845-49, when more than a million refugees from hunger, disease, and despair found their way to America.

But the journey quickly turns into a settling of old scores for this worn out couple. After an ultimate fight, Romy decides to break free. She cuts off her ties to a stable and secure life that has become alienating and escapes to the unknown. Drifting through a noisy Las Vegas to the wondrous high desert, Romy goes on with her solitary journey, abandoning herself to her sole intuitions and making it up as she goes. Liberated, she will cross paths with Diego (Norman Reedus), a charismatic and solitary man, with whom she’ll share an inconceivable but pure love. SKY tells a universal story in a minimalist, intimate way. It sits perfectly in my body of work DIRECTORSof films and novels, where the existential quest for freedom is a recurrent and central theme.
