Bone Tomahawk To Kill Again At Abertoir

abertoir_horror_festival_618x206This must be some sort of record!

Has a film ever been the final item in so many film festivals across the globe?

S. Craig Zahler’s (writer/director) Bone Tomahawk will be back in the UK for the Abertoir Film Festival in Wales.  Yes, ‘abertoir’.  It’s a combination of Aberystwyth, the town the event is based in, and abattoir, another word for the horror-staple slaughterhouse.  Nicely done sirs.

Abertoir runs from the 10th to the 15th of November in the local Arts Centre.  The schedule has not yet been completed but the organisers have announced that Bone Tomahawk will be the closing film.  This means that ticket specifics are unavailable at this time.  As of writing there are said to be a few passes left for the full week though.

Check out the official website for more details.

Bone Tomahawk Trailer

trailer_001_screenshotHours after its first ever public screening at the Fantastic Fest event, finally a trailer has been released for Bone Tomahawk via the Entertainment Weekly website.  See the article in full here.

poster_002_1500x2215At 2m30s it is quite long for a trailer.  It gives you the basic set up of the plot with a few dramatic moments shown.

As you can see from the above screenshot (see the Gallery for a larger version) Kathryn makes a fleeting appearance.  That glimpse is probably in proportion with the duration of her role in the full 2 hour feature.

A small copy of the trailer has been added to the KM UK Gallery for your perusal.

Bone Tomahawk is due for general release in the USA, including via VOD services apparently, on October 23rd.

Bone Tomahawk @ Horror/Sci-Fi Showcase

ihsff_horror_showcase_220x184We’re still a few weeks off the general opening of Bone Tomahawk and all it seems to be doing is closing!

The International Horror & Sci-Fi Film Festival is holding a special showcase next week.  The actual annual festival is held in April of each year in Phoenix, Arizona.

Over three days the Fall Horror Showcase features a film per night, concluding with Bone Tomahawk on Thursday the 8th of October.

The Harkins Scottsdale 101 Theatre, which hosts the screening, is relatively small so there are only around 250 seats available.  So, if you want a ticket you’d better hurry up and visit the official website.

Bone Tomahawk Lands In Charlotte

charlotte_film_festival_1818x1232With each newly announced screening of Bone Tomahawk the beginning of October gets more and more crowded.

Premièring on the closing night of Fantastic Fest on the 1st, on the 4th it’s Popcorn Fest, the 6th sees it at Beyond Fest, before a few days off to make the trip to London for the BFI Film Fest on the 10th, and several screenings in Spain at the Sitges International Film Fest shortly after.  It’s a fest of fests!

You’d think that’s enough but oh no, not for Bone Tomahawk.

Some how the 7th running of the Charlotte Film Festival has snuck in and grabbed second place with a screening on Saturday the 3rd of October.  It’s another last-on-the-schedule, closing night showing.  The good folks of Charlotte, North Carolina, get a nice sensible hour starting time of 8pm.  That’s civilised.

The event takes place from this Friday (25th Sept) and continues until Bone Tomahawk finishes it off the Saturday a week later.  The festival is made up of a mix of both narrative and documentary films in both feature and short forms.

Full details of the cinema location and ticket prices are on the official website.

More B.O. For The Perfect Guy

poster_005Perhaps he’s not so perfect after all :-)

After its second weekend of release in the US of A, movie thriller The Perfect Guy stayed in the top four of the box office.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, sequel to last summer’s hit, and Johnny Depp starer Black Mass took the 1st and 2nd spots respectively.  Last week’s runner up to The Perfect Guy, M. Night Shyamalan’s new film The Visit fared slightly better during the week to nudge ahead of it into 3rd place.

Also, apparently The Perfect Guy also opened in a few international territories, mostly in the middle and far east, which added an extra few hundred thousand dollars to the kitty.

trailer_001_1080p_007All-in-all so far the film has taken over $40m, more than three times the production budget of $12m.  A tidy little earner for the studio.  That’s before the release in most of the rest of the world, including the large European market.

To celebrate the continued success of the film I’ve added a small set of full HD (1080p) screencaps of Kathryn in the original trailer.  They are now in the Gallery.
