Bone Tomahawk In Scotland Tomorrow

inverness_film_festival_1160x2000Fancy a scary night out in Inverness, Scotland?

Free tomorrow and prefer to stay indoors to get your frights?

Your luck’s in.

Horror film Bone Tomahawk is being shown as part of the Inverness Film Festival.

The 13th running of the is hosting the film in its Scottish première at the Eden Court theatre.  The showing starts at 8:30pm.

The official website has all the details.

Kurt Russell (The Thing), Matthew Fox (Speed Racer) and Patrick Wilson (the second Fargo TV series currently airing) are amongst the impressively starry cast.  Kathryn has a couple of short scenes as the wife of the Sheriff.  All worked for minimum pay, a sign of really wanting to be involved in the project, if claims of the $1.8m total budget are to be believed.  No reason to doubt it.

One Thing Leeds To Another For Bone Tomahawk

leeds_film_festival_300x300.jpgThey’re coming thick and fast at the moment.

That rather enigmatic log on the right is the symbol used by the Leeds International Film Festival.

The city of Leeds is in the self-styled ‘god’s own country’ county of Yorkshire in the north of England.

Hundreds of screenings, over a dozen venues, all packed in to a full two week long festival.  The programme is broken down to five sections.  Bone Tomahawk falls under the one titled ‘Fanomenon’ and will be shown as part of a marathon event called ‘Night Of The Dead XV’.  It starts, appropriately enough, on Friday the 13th of November at 9pm.  The curtain rises on Bone Tomahawk at around 1am on Saturday morning.  But they’re only half-way done!  The latest horror film from New Zealand, Deathgasm, ends the night with the credits rolling at nearly 7am.  I’m not sure I’d be up for that.  Some of us have on the Monday after!

Looks like tickets are only available for the whole night event, so are more expensive than they would be for just an individual screening.

You want to know where to find more info?  Let me ‘Leeds’ you to it: official website.

Bone Tomahawk Gets Off Scot (Not) Free

inverness_film_festival_1160x2000More 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

snob_film_festival_960x355You 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

sitges_film_fest_2480x3508There 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.
