"Children of Invention" Screening at HIFF '09



OK, so I've totally neglected this blog, but what did you expect?  I'm not in Hawaii anymore...  :(

Anyway, since it seems that there are still a decent number of visitors to this poor dead blog (I guess lots of you still want to shoot in Hawaii and get production tax credits...
good luck with that!), I'm going to use it shamelessly to promote the feature film I produced, "Children of Invention," which premiered at Sundance earlier this year and will be playing at the 2009 Hawaii International Film Festival. Showtimes are:

* Mon, 10/19, 7:00pm @ Dole Cannery Theatres
* Wed, 10/21, 1:15pm @ Dole Cannery Theatres

>> 
BUY TICKETS HERE! <<

In "Children of Invention," two young children living outside Boston are left to fend for themselves when their mother gets embroiled in an illegal pyramid scheme and disappears. The film was written and directed by
Tze Chun (Filmmaker Magazine's "25 New Faces of Independent Film"), and is loosely based on his Sundance '07 short "Windowbreaker" (which also screened at HIFF '07).

We've won 10 film festival prizes and have been getting some great
reviews. What's more, the film is about a timely issue: Ponzi schemes. In fact, the Hawaii tax dept. just officially made Ponzi scheme theft losses deductible!  So come check out the film! Tze, I, and the other producer Trevor Sagan will be at both screenings. 

For more info, go to
http://www.childrenofinvention.com/. And join our Facebook group!

And be sure to check out some of the other great indie films at HIFF this year. I recommend:
White on Rice * Prince of Broadway * Fruit Fly * No Impact Man * Ajumma! Are You Krazy??? * I Don't Sleep, I Dream * Layover, On the Shore * Parallel Adele * Ten For Granpa

[P.S. Total side note: I dunno what's happened to Blogger since I last used it, but for some reason, this new post is screwing up the blog template, so all the stuff that used to be neatly placed in the column to the right has been smooshed all the way down and my "share it" buttons below aren't showing up properly.  Ugh, I hate an ugly blog/site, but whatareyagonnado?]

Princess Ka'iulani Film Causing Stir


A poster mock-up with the film's former controversial title

From its controversial titles to its non-Hawaiian star to its use of Iolani Palace, the $9 million Princess Ka'iulani film that's being produced by Matador Pictures and Trailblazer Films and is currently shooting on Oahu is causing a big stir among Native Hawaiians, state senators, and others.

Let's start with the title controversy: originally entitled "Barbarian Princess" (ironically so, since this was how the San Francisco Chronicle referred to the princess back in the day), the title was changed to "The Last Princess" to appease those who found the former title offensive (for obvious reasons). However, this new title is now an issue because Ka'iulani was not in fact the last princess--that designation, some say, belongs to the still-living royal descendant Abigail Kawananakoa.

Next is the casting of non-Hawaiian Q'orianka Kilcher (The New World) to play the half-Hawaiian, half-Scottish princess, despite director Marc Forby vowing to cast a Native Hawaiian in the role. The film also stars Barry Pepper (Flags of Our Fathers, The Green Mile, Saving Private Ryan), Will Patton (A Mighty Heart, Remember the Titans, Armageddon), and Shaun Evans (Being Julia, Cashback).

Then there's the use of the sacrosanct Iolani Palace, normally off-limits to commercial filming. People are worried (with reason!) that a rough-and-tumble film crew will damage the palace's fragile and valuable contents.

And of course there's the whole representation/accuracy issue in terms of what the film will depict. The filmmakers say that there is some dramatic license taken--it is, after all, a narrative feature and not a documentary.

In the latest news, a group of state senators led by Clayton Hee just issued a letter to state film commissioner Donne Dawson complaining about the film and questioning its use of the state's production tax credits. Said Hee, "The grade-C movie being filmed at Iolani Palace should properly describe what it is, an inaccurate and insensitive depiction, an extension of the treatment of others towards the host culture at the expense of the treatment of each of us taxpayers." Dawson said that the film had hired "several Hawaiian consultants who are experts in Hawaiian language and culture."

Venerated Honolulu Arthouse Theater Demolished


(Photo by Wendy Mitchell for indieWIRE)

The old Varsity theater in Mo'ili'ili was demolished yesterday due to deteriorating conditions. Built in 1939, the theater was the first home of the Hawaii International Film Festival as well as the Cinema Paradise Film Festival. For decades, the Varsity screened arthouse, foreign, and other non-mainstream films, but shut down operations last summer. A parking lot will be built in its place.

Actor turns talent toward helping others find roles

SCREEN TIME ➣Hawaii Actors Network
By Katherine Nichols

There's a relatively new Web resource out there for actors and casting directors in Hawaii, and if you don't already know about it, you probably should. Actor Teddy Wells developed www.hawaiiactors.com to help casting agents find extras and principles for television and movie roles, and to help actors -- who may or may not be members of the Screen Actors Guild -- promote themselves and get work.

The former Nick's Fishmarket chef became a SAG actor 13 years ago and has managed to land a fair number of acting gigs since then.

During a recent shoot with Animal Planet's "I'm Alive," a series about people recounting their life threatening encounters with animals, Wells saw how much they struggled to find talent in the islands.

"There was no central location to find SAG or non-SAG actors," he noted. "They're not paying a whole lot, so they don't want to go through talent agencies."

The whole point of the Actors Network is "to put people out there to be found to get work," he said. "Because if they're not looking for Teddy Wells, maybe I can help somebody else."

With a few success stories -- one member landed a recurring role on "Lost" -- people are catching on. In its first 6 months, membership has grown to about 900, with 4 or 6 new actors signing on each day, including newcomers and industry veterans. Even better, the social network is free.

"It's pretty much my charity," said Wells, who admitted that he may try to generate some advertising revenue from the site in the coming year. But for now it's a nonprofit that relies on donations from grateful actors and Wells' own resources. "It's my way of giving back to the entertainment industry in Hawaii ..."

Hawaii 5-O gets the green light to film in Hawaii again.

An updated version of "Hawaii Five-O", the classic cop series about the Hawaii-state police force, will air on CBS. The original series, created by Leonard Freeman, ran from 1968-1980 with Officer Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) and his sidekick Dan Williams (James MacArthur). Most remember the series for its theme song and McGarrets famous closing line for each episode, "Book 'em, Danno."

Major film writers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci ("Transformers") created the storyline for the new "Hawaii Five-O" pilot along with "CSI: NY" executive producer Peter Lenkov. The classic show was the longest running crime show on television before "Law & Order" claimed that title.

Joint Theatrical Release for "White on Rice" & "Children of Invention" in New York City

Children of Invention / White on Rice Joint Release PosterChildren of Invention / White on Rice Joint Release PosterTwo popular American independent films that were featured in HIFF's 2009 film festival, White on Rice and Children of Invention, are planning a joint theatrical release for their films in New York City at the newly renovated BIG Cinemas Manhattan on March 12th. Children of Invention producer Mynette Louie comments on their joint efforts:

“We kept running into the WHITE ON RICE folks on our festival run, so we all became good friends.  It makes perfect sense for us to buoy each other’s promotional efforts in true ‘DIWO’ style.  DIWO means ‘Do It With Others,’ and it’s much more fruitful than DIY, particularly in this hostile climate for indie films.”

Both films are currently available as limited edition DVD's, see their respective websites for details. For more detailed information about the joint theatrical release, see their press release here: http://www.childrenofinvention.com/diwo-nyc.htm

Cars 2 Pushed Back to December 2011

During Walt Disney Company's first quarter 2010 earnings call on Tuesday, company President and CEO Bob Iger mentioned that Disney•Pixar's Cars 2 will be released in theaters in December of 2011. The film was previously scheduled for a release on June 24, 2011 and this move would leave that release slot empty for now. Warner Bros. Pictures is releasing Green Lantern on June 17, 2011 and Michael Bay's Transformers 3 is targeted for a July 1, 2011 release. We're guessing another movie will quickly jump to June 24 spot, although Paramount moved up Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen to a Tuesday night/Wednesday release in 2009, so that is another possibility for the third film. Disney•Pixar had scheduled a December, 2011 release for The Bear and the Bow . We assume that...

McAvoy plays a man who learns he has cancer and successfully battles the disease over several years.

Paramount Pictures announced today that it is making Mission: Impossible IV . The film, which will be produced by Tom Cruise, J.J.

"Tom and J.J. are great talents and we are excited to be working with them to re-launch this legendary franchise," said Paramount Pictures Chairman & CEO Brad Grey. Screenwriters Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec are attached to write the script, from an original idea by Cruise and Abrams. The studio, Cruise and Abrams are in now the process of identifying a director for the film. Cruise's "Mission: Impossible" franchise has grossed over 1.4 billion globally.

Hanks and Gary Goetzman also will produce for Playtone, with Philippe Rousselet serving as executive producer. Larry Crowne will start production in April in Los Angeles.

Two Footage Clips From Shutter Island

Not trailers but actual footage from Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island” starring Leo Dicaprio and Mark Ruffalo. Two federal marshalls are summoned to a remote island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate a disappearance in a hospital/prison for the Criminally Insane. Make sure when you read that you say that last part aloud, it’ll help emphasize the dramatic tension. Drag your significant other to this one, because I think you may need the emotional support after. Thanks Beyond Disgusting for their kind assistance with this matter. “Shutter Island” opens wide on Feb 19th.

The Full Trailer For ZONAD. Like A Penis, Only Smaller

“ZONAD” is an Irish comedy about a small Irish town and the maybe alien or probably low on self esteem guy that pretends to be one. It’s looks plenty good. It’s difficult to capture the plot in words this early, so, assistance please. From beyond the very limits of our imagination comes a stranger. Who is he? What is he? And why is he so thirsty? These are the very questions asked by the inhabitants of Ballymoran, a sleepy village nestled deep in the Gilhooly mountains when they discover a “visitor” in their midst. Oh well said Italic man! Smashing! Nothing captures words like Gilhooy and Ballymoran like italics. ZONAD opens in theatres, maybe someplace near you  March 17th. Thanks QuietEarth.

Another Crazies Clip: There’s Somebody Outside

Overture Films has released another clip from Breck Eisner’s “The Crazies”, due out in theaters later this year. It’s a remake of a George Romero movie, but since it’s one of George’s lesser known ones, the remake tag is somewhat more acceptable this time around. David Dutten is sheriff of Ogden Marsh, a picture-perfect American town with happy, law-abiding citizens. But one night, one of them comes to a school baseball game with a loaded shotgun, ready to kill. Another man burns down his own house-after locking his wife and young son in a closet inside. Within days, the town has transformed into a sickening asylum; people who days ago lived quiet, unremarkable lives have now become depraved, blood-thirsty killers, hiding in the darkness with guns and knives. Sheriff Dutten tries to make sense of what’s happening as the horrific, nonsensical violence escalates. Something is infecting the citizens of Ogden Marsh with insanity. Now complete anarchy reigns as one by one [...]

Zombieland Writers Drop Plot Hints, Returning Characters

Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, the writers of the first “Zombieland” and Ryan Reynolds’ upcoming “Deadpool” movie, talked to MTV about what to expect in a “Zombieland 2″. According to the writers, they’re approaching the script with 3D in mind (yes, that miserable fad won’t be dead anytime soon, it appears), and will be introducing a female love interest for Woody Harrelson’s character, Tallahassee. They also reveal that the two ladies from the first movie, Wichita and Little Rock (Emma Stone and Abigal Breslin, respectively) will also be back, with the sequel continuing to explore growing up in a world infested with the living and rotting dead. To be honest, I would have preferred to see a sequel with Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) and Harrelson’s Tallahassee, and leave the two sisters out of it. Nothing against them, they were great characters, but I can’t help but think that the continued adventures of the zombie killing boys, as they meet up with [...]

Abrams and Tom Cruise Officially Onboard Mission Impossible 4

Remember the wacky days when Paramount Pictures, embarrassed by Tom Cruise’s increasingly erratic behavior (Tom being Tom, as they say) cut ties with him? Well that was then, and today Paramount has seen the light. Reuters say the studio has officially signed on Tom Cruise to star and J.J. Abrams to produce the next “Mission Impossible” film, which despite earlier reports, will indeed, once again, focus on the IMF’s superagent, Ethan Hunt (aka Tom Cruise) and not a new breed of younger agents with Hunt as their mentor. Figures. Tom Cruise taking a back seat in a franchise he basically built from Day 1? That was never going to happen. Now all the studio has to do is find a director, a couple of screenwriters (or a half dozen), and release the film on Memorial Day weekend 2011 as planned. That, and keep Tom away from cameras where the word “Scientology” is mentioned and couches.
