In 2002, after the success of Pitch Black, writer/director David Twohy filmed the WWII horror BELOW. Due to Twohy’s refusal to edit it for a PG-13 rating, it never got a UK theatrical release. Now, 20 years later, we will be hosting its UK theatrical premiere! www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

Come along! It’s as much about the Bristol film community and rich cinematic history of the city as it is about the reincarnation of the IMAX 🎥 🥰

Warner Bros and Kodak released a 10+ minute video of Ryan Coogler explaining how he shot Sinners on film and how people can see it in different formats in theaters. This is some of the best film promo I’ve seen in years. youtu.be/78Ru62uFM0s?...

My first post on Bluesky is a happy one: join me at the UK's Forbidden Worlds Film Festival, where I'll be talking all things Roger Corman with Gale Anne Hurd, and presenting a 'Guide to Jawsploitation'. (Apparently they'll be showing some movies, too.) www.forbiddenworldsfilmfestival.co.uk

RIP Jean Marsh (1935-2025). So versatile and distinctive.

submitted 3 days ago • 0 comments

Jean Marsh is one of those actors where when you look on social media right now there's ten different people remembering ten different roles, including whichever one of her three Doctor Who stories you're most fond of. Battlefield was one of my first Classic stories, so I'm going for that.

Farewell Jean Marsh, a great actor who, among many other achievements, was the go-to in twentieth century Doctor Who for playing a woman with broken love for her brother.
