NEON Films has released the release date for the very scary upcoming movie, THE LODGE.
Hitting theaters on November 15, the movie stars Riley Keough, Jaeden Lieberher, Lia McHugh, Alicia Silverstone, and Richard Armitage.
A bone-chilling nightmare from the directors of GOODNIGHT MOMMY, THE LODGE follows a family who retreat to their remote winter cabin over the holidays. When the father (Richard Armitage) is forced to abruptly depart for work, he leaves his children, Aidan (IT’s Jaeden Martell) and Mia (Lia McHugh) in the care of his new girlfriend, Grace (Riley Keough). Isolated and alone, a blizzard traps them inside the lodge as terrifying events summon specters from Grace’s dark past.
In honor of National Brother’s Day, take a look at this new clip from the film.
Sometimes things are not always what they seem, especially in the small suburban town where the Carpenter family lives. Single suburban mother Susan Carpenter (Naomi Watts) works as a waitress at a diner, alongside feisty family friend Sheila (Sarah Silverman). Her younger son Peter (Jacob Tremblay) is a playful 8-year-old. Taking care of everyone and everything in his own unique way is Susan’s older son Henry (Jaeden Lieberher), age 11. Protector to his adoring younger brother and tireless supporter of his often self-doubting mother – and, through investments, of the family as a whole – Henry blazes through the days like a comet.
Susan discovers that the family next door, which includes Henry’s kind classmate Christina (Maddie Ziegler), has a dangerous secret – and that Henry has devised a surprising plan to help. As his brainstormed rescue plan for Christina takes shape in thrilling ways, Susan finds herself at the center of it.
THE BOOK OF HENRY is directed by Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World, Safety Not Guaranteed) from an original screenplay by acclaimed novelist Gregg Hurwitz (Orphan X).

Kirsten Dunst, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Michael Shannon, Jaeden Lieberher and Jeff Nichols Weltpremiere MIDNIGHT SPECIAL, Berlinale 2016
Jeff Nichols’ must-see MIDNIGHT SPECIAL had its World Premiere in Berlin on Friday, February 12, 2016 at the 66th Berlinale International Film Festival .
Peter Debruge (Variety) says in his Berlin film review, MIDNIGHT SPECIAL “puts an original spin on the road movie, ending with a spectacular sci-fi finale on par with Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
A provocative, genre-defying film as supernatural as it is intimately human, it follows a father, Roy (Michael Shannon), who goes on the run to protect his young son, Alton (Jaeden Lieberher), a boy with mysterious powers that even Roy himself cannot comprehend.
What starts as a race from religious extremists and local law enforcement quickly escalates to a nationwide manhunt involving the highest levels of the Federal Government. Risking everything, Roy is committed to helping Alton reach his ultimate purpose, whatever that might be and whatever it costs, in a story that takes audiences on a perilous journey from Texas to the Florida coast, while exploring the bonds of love and trust, and the nature of faith.
MIDNIGHT SPECIAL stars Oscar nominee Michael Shannon (“99 Homes,” “Revolutionary Road”), Joel Edgerton (“Black Mass”), Kirsten Dunst (TV’s “Fargo”), Adam Driver (“Star Wars: The Force Awakens”), Jaeden Lieberher (“St. Vincent”) and Oscar nominee Sam Shepard (“The Right Stuff,” “August Osage County”).
Jeff Nichols (“Mud,” “Take Shelter”) directed the film from his own screenplay. It is produced by Oscar nominee Sarah Green (“The Tree of Life,” “Mud”) and Brian Kavanaugh-Jones (the “Insidious” films, “Sinister”), who previously collaborated with Nichols on his critically acclaimed thriller TAKE SHELTER.
Also reuniting with Nichols behind the scenes were director of photography Adam Stone (“Mud,” “Take Shelter”), production designer Chad Keith (“Take Shelter”) and editor Julie Monroe (“Mud”).
David Wingo (MUD, TAKE SHELTER, MAGGIE) composed the brilliant score.
Here’s your first look at the brand new trailer for THE CONFIRMATION starring Clive Owen, Jaeden Lieberher, Matthew Modine, Patton Oswalt, Robert Forster, Stephen Tobolowsky, Tim Blake Nelson, and Maria Bello.
Clive Owen shines in this irresistible comedy as Walt, a down-on-his luck carpenter tasked with entertaining his eight-year-old son Anthony while Anthony’s mom (Maria Bello) and her new husband are away. But when Walt’s prized toolbox is stolen, a quiet father-and-son weekend turns into an adventure of a lifetime.
Aided by an oddball drywall repairman (Patton Oswalt), Walt and Anthony go on a wildly funny search for the thieves—and find something they never imagined: a true family connection.
Directed by Bob Nelson, writer of NEBRASKA (Oscar nomination for Original Screenplay), THE CONFIRMATION opens in select theaters and On Demand Friday, March 18th.
Bill Murray has always played the nice guy. Whether on-screen in one of his many iconic roles or off-screen singing karaoke with fans or giving spontaneous bachelor party speeches (yes… that has happened), Bill Murray seems to wander intermittently in and out of our lives like that stoic but occasionally goofy uncle that you’ve always admired. His career has been partially eclipsed by his public reputation as of late, but ST. VINCENT is here to tarnish it with a bad-boy image. Well… maybe just a little.
Bill Murray plays a crotchety boozer named Vincent. His thrown-together appearance and house in shambles is just the start of the deeper problems that lie within. Around every corner is another person who he’s indebted to (one of which is a fellow gambler from the racetrack played by Terrence Howard). Vincent sees an opportunity to get himself out of the hole when a single mother (Melissa McCarthy) moves in next door and is suddenly in need of a babysitter when her son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) has an incident with some bullies at school and is without his house key and cell phone. From there we see Vincent in his new job as a babysitter to the young boy. Their daily activities include betting at the race track, drinking at the bar, and attending a gentleman’s club where the boy meets Vincent’s favorite “woman of the night,” the very pregnant Daka (Naomi Watts). But there’s more to Vincent as well and Oliver is determined to let others know of the light in the man that so many fail to see.
Our little lead in Jaeden Lieberher is always smart and endearing without ever feeling obnoxiously precocious. A role like this could have easily gone the route of corny or groan-inducing but director Theodore Melfi walks the line and keeps the film on the right track so that it doesn’t let its heart get in the way of the story. What helps is having a talented cast who is committed to the material. Seeing and hearing Murray and Watts in roles that make them both look and sound almost unrecognizable feels more inspired than a cheap novelty. They elevate the occasionally hokey material in a way that recalls LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE. Sure, seeing Vincent and his young sidekick running in slow motion with their winnings from the horse track or witnessing Oliver finally stand-up to his bullies are both examples of the standard scenes we’ve seen before in indie films (a later scene involving Murray racing in a wheelchair drifts a little too close to what Wes Anderson did stylistically in RUSHMORE), but that doesn’t take away from the magic and charm that the film achieves through its sincere performances.
VINCENT aims to be an adult film with heart. This type of feel-good film doesn’t get made very much anymore for adults, aside from the requisite Maggie Smith and Judi Dench “Royal team-up” that usually takes them to a foreign country (yawn). A talented cast and a lot of love is injected into ST. VINCENT. It’s hard not to believe in a film that believes so much in itself.
Here’s your first look at the trailer for ST. VINCENTstarring Bill Murray.
Maggie (Melissa McCarthy), a single mother, moves into a new home in Brooklyn with her 12-year old son, Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher). Forced to work long hours, she has no choice but to leave Oliver in the care of their new neighbor, Vincent (Bill Murray), a retired curmudgeon with a penchant for alcohol and gambling.
An odd friendship soon blossoms between the improbable pair. Together with a pregnant stripper named Daka (Naomi Watts), Vincent brings Oliver along on all the stops that make up his daily routine — the race track, a strip club, and the local dive bar. Vincent helps Oliver grow to become a man, while Oliver begins to see in Vincent something that no one else is able to: a misunderstood man with a good heart.
Directed by Theodore Melfi, The Weinstein Company will open ST. VINCENT in theaters October 24th.
