It’s tempting to call Shailene Woodley a “sensual” actress, but let’s be clear about what, exactly, that means. Woodley, like Debra Winger, has the gift of making sensuality dramatic; there’s a beautiful severity to her features that allows you to feel the things she’s showing you. That’s a talent, but it’s also an instinct — what a genuine movie star has. And Woodley’s got it. In “Adrift,” she plays a troubled but ebullient 23-year-old globe-trotter named Tami Oldham (who’s a real person; the film is based on a true story), and whether Tami is settling into the island of Tahiti because that’s where the fates took her, or falling in love, or leaping off a cliff, or trying to figure out how to save herself after she wakes up in a drifting, damaged sailboat that’s thigh-deep in water, Woodley gives herself...

Lison tells Dread exclusively of his ambitious film, “Rift was inspired by true events of multiple murder cases which transpired over the past 40 years, some solved and unsolved, mainly focusing on the story of Richard Speck and the murders in 1966. Of course being in Hollywood, we took the liberty of adding some artistic license to make it more entertaining to the viewer. Rift is set over three time periods: 1972, 2001 and the present day.”
Produced by Lison, Tatiana Chekhova, and executive producer and Olympian athlete Carl Lewis, the Gjenius production stars Leslie Easterbrook (The Devil’s Rejects), Tom Wright, Richmond Arquette,...

In movie remake news, a new version of The Swarm is currently being developed. Roy Lee (The Ring) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity) are producing, while commercial director Ash Bolland helms. More after the break. The original 1978 Irwin Allan film - itself based on the novel by Arthur Herzog - sees huge swarms of South American killer bees banding together and making their way around the globe. Though a box-office flop, the B-movie had an A-list cast: Michael Caine, Richard Widmark, Olivia de Havilland, Richard Chamberlin, Henry Fonda, and Patty Duke, to name a few. A writer is expected to be attached to the project within the next month. Source: TheWrap.com...
