			<title>Great Trailer for Coming of Age Film THE SPECTACULAR NOW</title>
			<link>http://hotblur.com/!/News/great-trailer-for-coming-of-age-film-the-spectacular-now</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
In a summer filled with epic films that include superheroes, robots, and monsters, there are still a few other l gems that are worth checking out, like this film... The Spectacular Now. I had the opportunity to see this movie up at Sundance, and I absolutely loved it. It was one of my favorite films at the film fest. You can read my review for it here and watch our video review for it here. 
The movie has a solid cast of actors that includes Miles Teller, Shailene Woodley, Brie Larson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Kyle Chandler. They were all perfect in this movie. The film is based on Tim Tharp’s novel, and it &quot;captures the insecurity and confusion of adolescence without looking for tidy truths.&quot; The movie comes from the writers who brought us (500) Days of Summer, Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, and here&#039;s the synopsis:

Sutter Keely lives in the now. It’s a good place for him. A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he’s the life of the party, loves his job at a men’s clothing store, and has no plans for the future. A budding alcoholic, he’s never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified 7UP cup. But after being dumped by his girlfriend, Sutter gets drunk and wakes up on a lawn with Aimee Finicky hovering over him. Not a member of the cool crowd, she’s different: the “nice girl” who reads science fiction and doesn’t have a boyfriend. She does have dreams, while Sutter lives in a world of impressive self-delusion. And yet they’re drawn to each other.

The movie opens up in theaters on August 2nd. Make sure to check it out!

			<title>Fantastic Sci-fi Short Film - TONIGHT I STRIKE</title>
			<link>http://hotblur.com/!/News/fantastic-scifi-short-film-tonight-i-strike</link>
			<description><![CDATA[
Here&#039;s a spectacular sci-fi short film called Tonight I Strike, directed by Dan Gaud. The director started his career doing VFX work on films such as District 9 and The Watchmen. He&#039;s looking to launch a directing career for himself, so he created this $15,000 short to help push that goal forward in hopes it will get him signed up with a talent agency.
The story follows Liam, who &quot;is searching for his sister and nothing will get in his way. A tale of violence, redemption, and magnets.&quot;
I enjoyed this short and thought was a solid production. Check it out!

			<title>GALAXY QUEST Director to Take on HOUDINI</title>
			<link>http://hotblur.com/!/News/galaxy-quest-director-to-take-on-houdini</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Galaxy Quest director Dean Parisot is currently in negotiations with Summit Entertainment to direct their Harry Houdini feature film. Summit has been trying to get this movie off the ground for years, and at different points of development directors Joe Wright and Gary Ross were both up to direct it. For one reason or another it didn&#039;t work out for either of them.
Parisot is a talented director who not only made the amazing sci-fi comedy Galaxy Quest, but also recently finished working on Red 2, which also looks awesome. This Houdini film seems like it will be a good project for him to tackle. This could be a really fun movie. 
The movie is an adaptation of the book The Secret Life of Houdini, The Making of America&#039;s First Superhero written by William Kalush and Larry Sloman. The name of the movie will be The Secret Life of Houdini.
The book dives into some interesting details about Houdini saying that he was a British spy, in cahoots with police organizations, and was even asked to be an adviser to Czar Nicholas II&#039;s court in prerevolutionary Russia. The movie is set up over at Lionsgate, and they want to make an action-thriller in which Houdini will be portrayed as part Indiana Jones and part Sherlock Holmes. The latest draft of the script was written by Noah Oppenheim.
Here&#039;s the description of the book the film will be inspired by:

Using exclusive access to newly uncovered archives, Kalush and Sloman reveal the clandestine agreements in which the British and Americans recruited Houdini to be an active secret agent. In exchange for his cooperation, the governments of these two countries facilitated his rise to the top of the world stage. The authors give thrilling accounts of his assignments, such as his participation in early aerial surveillance and his use of his own magic magazine to communicate espionage-related information. After the war, Houdini embarked upon what became his most dangerous mission when he took on the Spiritualist movement. Convinced that Spiritualist mediums were frauds, he became obsessed with exposing them. But the Spiritualists were a powerful adversary. An organized network of fanatics, led by Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle, worked relentlessly to orchestrate a campaign that would silence Houdini forever. Grounded in solid research, but as exciting and dramatic as a good thriller, THE SECRET LIFE OF HOUDINI traces the magician&#039;s long and circuitous route from struggling vaudevillian to worldwide legend.

			<title>Free Birds Trailer: Owen Wilson And Woody Harrelson Are Time-Travlling Turkeys</title>
			<link>http://hotblur.com/!/News/free-birds-trailer-owen-wilson-and-woody-harrelson-are-timetravlling-turkeys</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Free Birds comes from Jimmy Hayward, the director of the Jonah Hex movie, making his return to animation. It’s a variant on those familiar Let’s Kill Hitler tropes, with a pair of Turkeys going back to Thanksgiving in order to change tradition and save their wobbly necks.
Click here to view the embedded video.
You can see that in HD at Apple. And as you’d expect, the film is out at the beginning of November. It might literally put you off your dinner.
Hayward made Horton Hears A Who too. Maybe he really likes mashing up animated animals with hard sci-fi ideas – first, miniature worlds, secondly, time hopping.
