The Divide screened at SXSW
“Insidious,” a haunted-house story from “Saw’” creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell; “The Divide,” a sci-fi thriller starring Michael Biehn and Milo Ventimiglia; and “Attack the Block,” an action-adventure story by “Adventures of Tintin” writer Joe Cornish are some of the movies premiering in the South by Southwest Film Conference and Festival’s midnight program next month, festival organizers announced Thursday.
Posted by Aniek | 0 commentsThe Divide — an end-of-the world catastrophe story lensed in Winnipeg last summer — has just been chosen for screening at the prestigious South By South West (SXSW) Festival in Austin, Texas. The movie’s world première is midnight March 13 as part of the expo’s dark-themed “Midnighter” shows. Nate Rollo, a local producer on the show, will be flying into Austin with show brass and stars, hoping their film will find world-wide distribution there. “The Divide is about a group of survivors who take refuge in a fallout shelter in the basement of a New York City skyrise,” says Rollo. “Things regress into a very ruthless environment for the eight people and then it becomes a game of survival.”
The film’s directed by Xavier Gens from Paris, France whose film Hit Man grossed $99 million at the box office. He turned down earlier distribution offers for The Divide because he thinks this film can go big. Cast includes Hollywood star Rosanna Arquette, who plays the mother of the only child trapped in the shelter (Winnipegger Abbey Phickson), plus Lauren German (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Courtney B. Vance (Law and Order: Criminal Intent). Michael Biehn (Terminator, The Abyss) plays the paranoid building super who built the bomb shelter. Also watch out for Ashton Holmes (The Pacific, HBO), and Milo Ventimiglia, a star of Heroes, Parisian actor Ivan Gonzalez and Canadian actor Michael Eckland. “Michael goes through the most dramatic change in character you’ve ever seen in a film,” says Rollo.

On the Set of ‘Armored’ with Milo Ventimiglia
Milo Ventimiglia is still trying to be a hero. On TV, Heroes’ Peter Petrelli absorbs whatever super power he needs to save the day. In Armored, he’s only got human strength and wits to stop an armored truck heist. We met with him on the set, emerging from the overturned truck covered in movie blood and bruises, to find out what trouble he’s into this time.

Milo Ventimiglia Armored Set Visit Interview
How did your character get into this current state?
Milo Ventimiglia: “You mean dirty, bloody and half-way dead? My character Officer Eckhart responds to a siren. When getting to the location, he thinks he hears the siren and the siren goes off. He gets himself shot when he does his job and pulls his weapon. He gets a shotgun blast to the gut.”
You have a fairly leading role in the film, is your character in this state the whole time?
Milo Ventimiglia: “Quite a bit. The majority of the film I’m in the back of an armored car laying, dying, wailing, crying, thinking about my own morality. He’s a mess, but this is the worst where I’m at.”
Is there extra stuff seeping from the fake bullet holes?
Milo Ventimiglia: “Oh yeah. There’s actually tubes connected to this that run down. Some of the scenes on the truck they’re pumping a lot of blood in me. This is all very dry right now. But it’s pretty wet and pretty sticky and pretty messy.”

‘Gamer’ fails to advance above level of mediocre
Welcome to Sodom and Gomorrah 2.0. There’s a reason why “Gamer” wasn’t screened for critics before opening. It’s ugly.
A Who’s Who of B- and C-list actors chew the scenery with the nefarious creations of Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall, “Dexter”), a developer of massively multiplayer online role-playing games.
The journey is bloody, raunchy and amusing – sometimes purposely, sometimes not. It won’t win an Academy Award, but it has popcorn potential.
Castle has brought MMORPGs to the next level. Real people substitute for digital avatars, and the sordid fantasies of gamers are lived out in the flesh.
A pasty-faced 17-year-old controls Kable (Gerard Butler, “The Ugly Truth”), the lead in Castle’s gruesome best-selling creation, “Slayer.”
Kable is among a group of death-row convicts fitted with mind control software. To win their freedom from prison they must survive 30 battles, all played out for hungry pay-per-view audiences.
But the convicts’ fates are in the hands of thrill-seeking couch potatoes unaware of the true consequences of the game. There’s plenty of action in “Gamer,” but not much acting. Butler wears a perma-frown as the film’s brooding hero. Butler might be King Leonidas (“300”), but in this he’s just a grumpy bore.
The peripheral characters played by Alison Lohman (“Drag Me To Hell”), Chris “Ludacris” Bridges (“RocknRolla”), John Leguizamo (“Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs”), Kyra Sedgwick (“The Closer”), and Milo Ventimiglia (“Heroes”) are a blur and hobble the film’s intensity.
“Gamer” is an updated version of the 2007 clunker “The Condmened.” Hall and Butler are better than this.
