The film that was most shrouded in mystery going into the 2016 SXSW Film Festival was undoubtedly Fede Alvarez’s Don’t Breathe, his sophomore directorial effort and first film since 2013’s Evil Dead. The highly intense thriller stars Jane Levy, Dylan Minnette and Daniel Zovatto as a trio of thieves who break into a blind man’s home (portrayed by Stephen Lang) and quickly find out just why their plan to rob him was ill-conceived. Daily Dead had the opportunity to speak with Alvarez the day after the premiere of Don’t Breathe and he discussed reuniting with Levy and working with Lang to create the film’s ferociously unstoppable villain.
Last night, you said that you really appreciated being involved with a movie that hasn’t had the opportunity to be overhyped. It was really fun to experience Don’t Breathe without knowing much because it added a lot to the experience.

No, we're not talking about a remake of the jazzy little Seventies flick that saw Joan Collins battling giant ants. What we have here, kids, is another book adaptation that's coming at us faster than an ant can pounce a sugar cube. Read on for details.

If you've listened to Beyoncé's "Why Don't You Love Me" and inexplicably felt like you were a spy in the middle of an international conspiracy, then don't feel like you're weird. When producers the Bama Boyz, created the song, that's exactly how they felt.
The Grammy-nominated production trio of Eddie Smith, Jesse J. Rankins and Jonathan Wells are signed to Mathew Knowles' (a.k.a. Beyoncé's father) Music World Entertainment, and have worked with B for some time. In fact, the song's inspiration came from the time they spent in London at the end of her B-Day Tour.
"After the tour left, we stayed over in the UK, because we fell in love with it. It was a big thing for us, being out there, and we watch a lot of movies,...

A week or so ago I began to receive feedback that posts weren't being displayed on my entry "Win Ben Stein's Mind," from Dec. 3, 2008. That was my attack on Stein's film "Expelled," which supported Creationism against the Theory of Evolution. I consulted the web gods at the Sun-Times. I was told...uh...ahem...perhaps the thread was growing a tad long, and was maxing out the software? After 2,640 posts and 239,093 words, perhaps this was the case.
Today I received a post from one of the stalwart debaters on that thread, Much Aloha Bill, advising: "Put this puppy to sleep. It's had a long run." A few days earlier, Randy Masters, the most stalwart defender of Intelligent Design, had written to advise that a couple of his posts hadn't gone through. And so perhaps Movable Type was gently informing me that enough was enough.
I was interested in the discussion right up to the end.
