"I know what's going to happen... every detail of it." Sp Releasing has debuted an official trailer for another Ya it-super-sucks-to-be-teen-these-days film titled Anthem of a Teenage Prophet, adapted from a novel originally titled "Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet". The extra sappy story is about a teenager who realizes he has the power of premonition, and freaks out when he predicts the death of one of his friends. Dubbed the "Prophet of Death" by the media, Luke experiences more death flashes that become reality. Terrified by his new ability, Luke gets a prescription for a powerful sedative, which stops the visions for a while, but soon they—and his general disillusionment with life—return. Cameron Monaghan stars as Luke, with Peyton List, Juliette Lewis, Grayson Gabriel, Aaron Pearl, Richard de Klerk, and Alex MacNicoll. The kid really has the perfect emo look, with that long hair, darting eyes, and everything.

Director: Randall Miller Writers: Randall Miller, Jody Savin Starring: Alan Rickman, Ashley Greene, Malin Akerman, Justin Bartha, Freddy Rodriguez, Donal Logue, Stana Katic, Rupert Grint, Joel David Moore, Ryan Hurst, Johnny Galecki, Ahna O’Reilly, Richard de Klerk, Mickey Sumner, Taylor Hawkins, Bradley Whitford. Cbgb is the loosely told story of how punk was born out of a New York club called Cbgb (Country, BlueGrass, & Blues) in the 1970s. Actually, it's more about the club's creator/owner Hilly Kristal (Alan Rickman), and the trials and tribulations of being the owner of a mismanaged country club who opened his stage to the likes of the Talking Heads, Blondie, Television, Ramones, Dead Boys, Cramps, and in turn became the curator and "godfather" of punk rock. This is music that I grew up with. I collected the records, followed the history, read stacks of biographies, and watched numerous documentaries that tell the accounts of this era of time.

Ever wonder how the legendary Cbgb came to be? In the new film, appropriately titled Cbgb, director Randall Miller and co-writer Jody Savin give audiences a glimpse into the world that Hilly Kristal built… a little bar that became the birthplace of American punk music.
Recently, Wamg attended a press day for the film at the famous Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, CA. Participating in the press conference were Johnny Galecki (Terry Ork), Freddy Rodriguez (Idaho), Joel David Moore (Joey Ramone), Director/Co-Writer Randy Miller, and Co-Writer Jody Savin. Check it out below. (Side note: Sorry if it is a bit shaky. I was trying out my new camera.)

The pair’s trilogy of movies on the precipice of something greater — films with engaging protagonists and an interesting backdrop or pitch, but little sense of psychological depth — continues with “Cbgb,” a celebration of the man behind the seminal New [ Read More ]

The trio quickly embrace their new gift, having all the fun they could ever want which includes committing crimes without any fear of reprisals.

Having recruited Alan Rickman to play Cbgb founder Hilly Kristal in his film about the rise of the legendary New York music venue, director Randall Miller is adding to the line-up, bringing in Malin Akerman, Rupert Grint, Stana Katic, Joel David Moore, Julian Acosta, Richard De Klerk, Josh Zuckerman, John Holstrom, Ryan Hurst and Estelle Harris.

Carl Bessai's Repeaters will be released in select Canadian theatres on April 22 after a presence at the latest Vancouver International Film Festival.
The story revolves around drug addicts at a rehab centre who fight their inner demons and live the same day over and over again. While each have some degree of volition and are able to use this day to play out fantasies seemingly with no long term consequences, none has power to change the truth that tomorrow will be the same as yesterday.

Year: 2010
Director: Carl Bessai
Writer: Arne Olsen

Trailer: link
Review by: Marina Antunes
Rating: 7 out of 10
When it comes to making movies, Carl Bessai knows what he’s doing. The prolific filmmaker pumps them out on average of one per year and this year he’s outdone himself with not one but two films. One is a family comedy titled Fathers&Sons (a must for fans of dysfunctional family comedies) and the second of the duo and Bessai’s first foray into genre film making, is Repeaters, a film many have compared to Groundhog Day based on the premise alone but which has much more in common with Bessai’s previous films than with the comedic classic.
Kyle, Sonia and Weeks are in rehab, counting through the days (and steps) until it’s all over. Today is Step 9: making amends. The group gets their day passes and...

HollywoodNews.com: Indie film hottie Richard de Klerk (“Cole”), whose new “Repeaters” thriller has been widely compared to “Groundhog Day,” tells us that the G-word “did come up on the set and it has to. You can’t argue with Bill Murray and an amazing film. But I think enough time has passed that we can take another look at the premise.”
Certainly “Repeaters” takes the idea of characters caught in a day that repeats over and over — and takes it in an entirely different direction from the 1993 rom com. In “Repeaters,” there are two young men (Dustin Milligan and de Klerk) and a young woman (Amanda Crew) in drug rehab. And, as de Klerk says, “it gets into the whole moral compass of a person.” With all the normal laws of time and society are suspended, will a person act honorably, embrace immorality or completely flip out?...

Henry’s Crime
After living in Buffalo the past four years, I was intrigued to see how director Malcolm Venville (44 Inch Chest) would capture the disparate lifestyle and rundown city with his latest feature Henry’s Crime. Starring Keanu Reeves, James Caan and Vera Farmiga in script from Sacha Gervasi (Anvil), he tells the story of a tollbooth worker who goes to jail for a robbery he was mistakenly involved with. After getting out of prison, he plans to do the crime he did the time for.
Venville attempts to balance comedy and drama with very little success. Keanu Reeves simply can’t pull off a dramatic performance. It’s impossible to buy his relationship with Farmiga. His lifeless demeanor matches the dry tone of the film. There is absolutely no style to be found here. What could have been the most interesting aspect, the actual “heist,” is done in...

It takes real guts to borrow the precise concept from Groundhog Day, and even more to not acknowledge the film's influence at all. And even though Repeaters does much less with the genius "repeating a day" gimmick than Harold Ramis and Bill Murray, it's an earnest and ridiculous thriller about drug addicts that's perversely fun to watch as well. It masquerades at first as a story about redemption and quite literally making amends, but once Repeaters embraces its trashy action and violence, it's an oddly compelling and energetic adventure. Be warned-- I may have only enjoyed this so much because it came in the middle of a film festival, and watching a movie with zero subtext and limited narrative logic was an odd pleasure. But Carl Bessai's film, still looking for distribution, really does have a shaggy appeal. Kyle (Dustin Milligan), Sonia (Amanda Crew) and Weeks (Richard de Klerk...

If you happened to have caught either of Canadian filmmaker Carl Bessai's last two films -- the familial drama 'Mothers & Daughters' or the wrong-side-of-the-tracks romance 'Cole' -- you'd go into his latest, 'Repeaters,' expecting a simple and thoughtful indie drama. Not this time around. Though Bessai does maintain his pensive, character-focused style, he ups the ante to deliver a surprising and often kinetic look at what can happen if your days start repeating, a la 'Groundhog Day.'
Dustin Milligan -- given more to do than chill at Beverly Hills High in the first season of '90210' -- plays Kyle, an addict in mandatory rehab who faces his first day-pass out of the joint alongside friends Sonia (Amanda Crew, 'Charlie St. Cloud') and Weeks (Richard de Klerk, 'Cole').

It's been a crazy couple of days at Tiff — yesterday's back-to-back interviews in our media lounge included Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew and Richard de Klerk ("Repeaters"), "Bunraku’s" Josh Hartnett and Guy Moshe, Oscar-nominee Fridrik Thor Fridriksson (“Mamma Gógó”), Debs Gardner-Paterson (“Africa United”), and documentary filmmakers Risteard Ó Domhnaill ("The Pipe") and Shlomi Eldar ("Precious Life”).
Ron Perlman came by with Kevin McKidd for photos by Scott McDermott. Ron had his cigar in hand, apparently a crutch he rarely leaves home without.
We dropped down to the Creative Coalition's event for George Hickenlooper's "Casino Jack" — Hickenlooper was there, as was thesp and theater director Kevin Spacey. Hickenlooper addressed the assembled cocktailers, sharing tales of his remembrances of the enlisted men fighting to avoid the road to Vietnam and the education he absorbed from being around a father who, despite his brilliance politically, perhaps wasn't there emotionally.

Check out the exclusive premiere of the trailer for Canadian indie "Cole," which is premiering on VOD on September 15th, below.
The official blurb:
From veteran Canadian Diy filmmaker Carl Bessai ("Mothers & Daughters"), "Cole" follows a handsome, magnetic, talented young writer with dreams too big for his small town. Frustrated and trapped, Cole (Richard de Klerk) has spent his entire life picking up the pieces of his shattered family and using them as the basis for his writing and recreating an alternative reality. When Cole gets the opportunity to bring his talents to the city, he sees his potential for the first time -- and falls in love with Serafina, a beautiful black girl from a privileged background with secrets of her own. Shackled to his family by responsibility, Cole finds it increasingly hard to lead a double life and is forced to choose or do the unthinkable: unite his two worlds.

The first trailer for Canadian filmmaker Carl Bessai’s (Cole) latest movie, Repeaters, is now online. Something like a cross between Groundhog Day and Trainspotting, this mind-bending thriller tells the story of three young addicts in a rehabilitation center — played by Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew, and Richard de Klerk — who find themselves repeating the same day over and over again, each responding to the situation in very different, often violent, ways. The movie will debut next week at the 35th Annual Toronto International Film Festival. It does not yet have a U.S. release date.

In April, we saw the first images of the upcoming Canadian thriller Repeaters. Now, we get to see a new poster and a first trailer.
This film shot in Mission, B.C. was directed by Carl Bessai (Normal).
The story revolves around drug addicts at a rehab centre who fight their inner demons and live the same day over and over again. While each have some degree of volition and are able to use this day to play out fantasies seemingly with no long term consequences, none has power to change the truth that tomorrow will be the same as yesterday. Ultimately, all are forced to make choices that will affect not only their lives but the lives of everyone around them.
The film stars Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew, Richard de Klerk, Benjamin Ratner, Gabrielle Rose, Teach Grant, Anja Savcic and Emily Perkins. A release should take place in 2011.

Ironically, one of the things many of us tend to overlook every year at the Toronto International Film Festival is the line-up of interesting Canadian films. I guess I only have my own biases to blame, but this year there are quite a few intriguing flicks from The Great White North including Bruce McDonald's Trigger [1], Daniel Cockburn's You Are Here [2], and Mike Goldbach's Daydream Nation [3], not to mention Fubar II [4] and this film by Carl Bessai. Repeaters is basically being billed as the concept behind the Bill Murray comedy classic Groundhog Dog re-imagined as an "aggressive, fast-paced thriller." The basic idea is that a group of people in rehab get a one day pass to go back into the world to make amends, only to find that they wake up the next day and relive it all over again. And again. Slowly their behaviour becomes more bold and...

Repeaters Poster ArtWhat would you do if you woke up on the same day everyday? What would you do if everyday repeated? These are the types of questions asked of characters Kyle (Dustin Milligan, Sonia (Amanda Crew) and Weeks (Richard de Klerk) in the film Repeaters. These three are recovering drug addicts and they must make amends with family members who they have hurt through their drug use. This film is similar to Harold Ramis' Groundhog Day where life repeats until characters learn a lesson and readers can see Repeaters at the Toronto International Film Festival beginning September 13th. Have a read of the interesting premise below and take a peek at the film's trailer.
The synopsis for Repeaters here:
"On a random Wednesday, the residents of a rehab centre in Mission, B.C. are granted a rare one-day-pass to venture back into the world and make amends with those they have wronged.

A little while back I wrote an article about the poster release for the upcoming film Repeaters, which is premiering at Tiff 2010. Well tonight, Hitflix has premiered the trailer for this darker version of Groundhog Day.
The trailer, embedded below, is fascinating and much more fast paced than I thought it would be. I’m actually excited now because the brief synopsis I posted in the other article didn’t really do much in terms of enticement but after watching the trailer everything has changed.
The trailer doesn’t exactly give us a lot in terms of where the characters are or why they are there, but it does give us some insight in terms of some of the struggles they encounter, what they do with themselves, and how the repetition of the same day is affecting them personally.
The best thing to do is to read the synopsis first,...

Below is the trailer for Repeaters, a low-budget Canadian indie sci-fi flick. It's an interesting concept -- three reprobates, after being forced into a rehab program, find themselves repeating the same day, over and over. Each remembers the previous iteration of the day, and by making the trio slowly turn on each other, director Carl Bessai and writer Arne Olsen managed to inject a bit of freshness into the idea. Will it work? I have no clue. It stars Amanda Crew, who I find quite charming and was decent enough in the incredibly stupid, yet strangely entertaining Sex Drive, as well as Dustin Milligan anf Richard de Klerk. Bonus points for co-starring Emily Perkins (Juno, Ginger Snaps).
It looks intriguing. It apparently did well at the Toronto Independent Film Festival, too. Despite my general distrust of, disdain for, and aversion to Canadians, it's got promise. Take a look.
Yes, yes,...

Another film which is going to be premiered at Toronto International Film Festival has been previewed. "Repeaters" has got a promo trailer which follows three young outsiders whose days inexplicably repeat as they struggle to battle personal demons and addictions.
These three rehab patients are given a one-day pass to make amends with their families. Kyle tries to reconnect with his sister, Sonia avoids her ailing dad, who subsequently passes away, and Weeks sets off to see his violent father in prison. It's a terrible day for each of them, and they cannot find their way out.

Interesting fact: veteran Canadian director Carl Bessai has had a film featured at Tiff every year since 2006 – Cole (2009), Mothers & Daughters (2008), Normal (2007) and Unnatural & Accidental (2006). This year, he brings a dark, fast-paced thriller to the Festival, Repeaters, starring Dustin Milligan, Amanda Crew, and Richard de Klerk. The story focuses on three young addicts in a rehab centre who attempt to make a path to recovery but live through a strange, eerie repetitiveness in each day. A new trailer popped up today for the film and can be seen below. There’s a little bit too much unrealistic gunfire for our tastes, but it does seem to be loaded with action and thrills.

Repeaters, a film premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival, has just released its first poster in anticipation for its worldwide debut.
The film, which is directed by Canadian Carl Bessai (Severed), has been described as a dark Groundhog day except instead of it being Groundhog day it is actually just one of the most miserable days of your life.
The Tiff film description:
Veteran director Carl Bessai returns with a tense thriller that follows three young addicts in a rehabilitation centre. Each day they live the same events over and over – a situation each responds to in radically different ways.
The film stars Dustin Milligan (Gunless), Amanda Crew (Charlie St. Cloud), and Richard de Klerk (Bang Bang You’re Dead).
While the poster doesn’t really tell you too much I still think its color use is pretty cool, specifically the blood red. Other than that I think it...

Cinematical is happy to bring you this exclusive poster for Repeaters, the latest from Canadian indie filmmaker Carl Bessai, to be screened during this year's Toronto International Film Festival. (Full poster after the jump.) Imagine, for a second, if you didn't repeat a mundane Groundhog Day, but rather one singular, terrible day. You aren't alone in the experience -- you have two others with you -- but you find that you have to contend not only with the emotional slap of that same day over and over again, but also with one friend's increasing disconnect from reality.
The film follows three rehab patients who are given a one-day pass to make amends with their families. Kyle (Dustin Milligan, 90210) tries to reconnect with his sister, Sonia (Amanda Crew, Charlie St. Cloud) avoids her ailing dad, who subsequently passes away, and Weeks (Richard de Klerk, Cole) sets off to see his violent father in prison.
