New trailer for Retreat (2011)

Synopsis: In a last-ditch attempt to save their failing marriage after the stillbirth of their first child, Kate (Thandie Newton), a journalist and Martin (Cillian Murphy), an architect, escape London for a retreat to the beautiful, yet remote and unpopulated Blackholme Island, which is off the west coast of Scotland.  Fairweather Cottage is a place where they once shared a romantic holiday and the island holds fond memories of happier times. Kate and Martin arrive by boat, it's autumn and the rocky barren moors are blown by freezing winds and the before they've even settled in, the generator and CB radio communication start to fail.  Their relationship is already fragile and anxieties are pushed higher when they lose all contact with the mainland and after a heavy storm, an injured man is washed up on the shore. Dressed in military fatigues and carrying a gun, the mysterious stranger regains consciousness and identifies himself as a British soldier called Private Jack Corman and he soon reveals that he carries a deadly message – an airborne virus is sweeping Europe and all their lives are under threat unless they take drastic action.  He insists that the only way to avoid the fatal disease is to seal themselves in the cottage. In a series of tense twists, the captive couple are forced to use their ingenuity to outwit the equally volatile and charismatic Jack in an attempt to unravel the real truth.  Loyalties divide and merge and paranoia sets in, culminating in a violent and shocking conclusion.

'Making Ugly' Press release

Few months ago, we saw the trailer for this film, and now, seems like the film is seeking distribution. So here's the official press release along with a cool new poster for the Indie flick. World Press Release: Squarebox Yellow LTD Announces Completion of Independent British Feature Film Making Ugly Directed by Andrew Niblo Starring Paul Quinn, Jamie Jack Gordon and Margaret Ann Bain Today 16 August 2011 Squarebox Yellow proudly announced the completion of its maiden feature film production Making Ugly, a British independent thriller shot on the minute budget of £7000 across London and Edinburgh. Making Ugly is a provocative, dark thriller, the debut feature film of writer/director Andrew Niblo. Making Ugly features an impressive Scottish and English ensemble cast of rising stars from UK theatre and television. Already tagged as “the next great gritty British thriller” Making Ugly is a powerful experience that will keep you guessing from start to finish.                   Making Ugly follows the tales of three captivating characters on a sinister journey. As the worlds they know are changing and crumbling around them, they too transform in ways that you would never expect. Neil (Paul Quinn) is a tormented, exiled family man with a secret. Heather (Margaret Ann Bain) is a woman on the edge and about to discover her own terrifying strength. When the mysterious Stark (Jamie Jack Gordon) enters their lives he lures them into an ugly world of mystery and deceit. No one can be trusted when you are Making Ugly. Behind the scenes the uniqueness of Making Ugly lies in the manner it was produced. From the initial stages of development, the producers faced the challenge of realising Andrew Niblo's vision and securing the necessary cast, crew, equipment and locations usually seen in mid-budget films with extremely limited funds. Through ingenious strategies and sheer determination, Mara Adina and Dara Carroll completed Making Ugly on the incredibly low budget of £7,000. Squarebox Yellow is also very happy to announce that Making Ugly will now be entering it’s festival season with plans to screen throughout British, European and American festivals. Making Ugly is currently seeking distribution.

Check it: First 5 minutes of Sucker Punch!

Check this out, we got some exclusive footage from Sucker Punch, out today in Cinemas around the UK. To be honest, I watched a minute then stopped it there. Only reason being that I don't want to ruin the story for myself. But the minute I saw was pretty freakin sweet. I hope the critics aren't right about this film, because the cast and the story have great potential. Kazed.
