Bone Tomahawk Gets Off Scot (Not) Free

More film festival news means Bone Tomahawk will be continuing to stride the globe like a colossus into November.

The award winning film has more US screenings this weekend in Telluride, Colorado.

It’s already been shown in England as part of the BFI London Film Festival. We know the horror western will be in Wales for the Abertoir Film Festival in mid-November and over the water to the Republic Of Ireland and the Cork Film Festival just before that.

How about the other English border?

We’ve now got news that that’ll be covered in early November when Bone Tomahawk jumps Hadrian’s Wall on its way to Inverness.

As part of the schedule of the Inverness Film Festival it can claim to be the Scottish première and the most northerly screening so far.

The Eden Court theatre will be playing host to the movie at 8:30pm on Thursday the 5th of November.

At the heart of Inverness, on bank of the river Ness (which joins the famous Loch Ness and Beauly Firth), Eden Court is approaching its 40th year. The IFF is 13 this year.

But where can you find out more about this event? I hear you ask. How about the official website.

SNOB Doesn’t Turn Its Nose Up At The Coin

You probably thought we’d heard the last of The Coin. Me too.

No, it turns up with out warning like a bad penny. But in a good way of course

Yesterday the writer/director/producer of the short film The Coin, Fabien Martorell, let us know that his work has been selected for another film festival.

This time its the people of Boston get the benefit of the 9 minute long drama starring Christopher Lloyd (The Addams Family) and Kathryn. She’s the stressed mother taking her young son to a local store to buy groceries. He’s the homeless man sat on the pavement/sidewalk out front who gives the boy a few words of wisdom.

The oddly named Somewhat North Of Boston Film Festival will be screening The Coin during its 3-day event in mid-November. At the time of writing we don’t have specific details on when it will be shown. I’ll bring you more when I can.

Interesting name that. Concord, New Hampshire, home to the SNOB Film Fest is indeed ‘somewhat north’ of Boston, Massachusetts. It’s also ‘somewhat north’ of New Boston, New Hampshire. Why not go plural? I guess it sounds better than Somewhat North Of Manchester (the New Hampshire version). SNOB vs SNOM.

There’s not a lot there at the moment but browse the official SNOB website in anticipation.

Bone Tomahawk Becomes Award Winner In Spain

There is a still a day to go of the Sitges International Film Festival in Spain but they’ve announced the winners of the events awards.

Bone Tomahawk has netted a Best Director gong for S. Craig Zahler. Who, as luck would have it, is the director. Funny that

The horror western also took the prize for the José Luis Guarner Critic Award as the best feature film.

A full list of all the winners in all the categories can be found on the official website.

Congratulations to all involved on these first pieces of silverware for the project from everyone here at KM UK.

The movie has been garnering positive comments at every screening it’s done so far.

Mention should be made of the fact that Bone Tomahawk had a budget of only $1.8m and was filmed in just three weeks. That’s tiny compared to almost every Hollywood movie, and is especially impressive when you consider the cast that it has. Not only are there some big names in there (Kurt Russell and Matthew Fox to give just two examples) but there are at least six people that could easily claim a large chunk of that money on their own. Clearly this was a project they really wanted to do.

Bone Tomahawk Puts A Cork In It

Bone Tomahawk had a successful weekend at the BFI London Film Festival.

We found out last week that the horror western will be heading to Wales in mid-November.

Just before reaching the Abertoir Film Festival the movie will be overshooting the valleys and landing on the south coast of the Republic Of Ireland.

The 60th running of the Cork Film Festival plays host to Bone Tomahawk in a 6:30pm screening on the 9th of November at the Gate Cinema. That’s a Monday evening.

Tickets are €10 or less and available via the CFF website.

Thanks to Fate 815 for bringing this one to our attention.

BBFC Gives BT An 18

It was bound to happen.

It had to happen.

It really did.

Just ahead of the Bone Tomahawk showing at the BFI Film Festival, a month before the screening in the Abertoir event, and way ahead of the December general release of the movie in this part of the world, the UK rating organisation the BBFC has rendered its verdict.

Without the rating it is unlikely the film could be shown. It would require specific approval from the local council for a cinema to show it.

The film has been given the 18 rating, meaning, not surprisingly, that only those 18 years of age and older can legally watch it.

The brief reason given is, not surprisingly given the subject matter:

strong violence

You can read more details of the content that lead to that decision on the BBFC website HERE. I don’t think the text is particularly spoiler-laden, but you have been warned.

The UK December 11th release date, predicted here on KM UK back in September, has been confirmed recently.
