Last Friday, the apocalyptic supernatural Spanish horror film Everyone Will Burn was given a theatrical release in select locations by Drafthouse Films. Now the film has made its way to VOD (it’s available on iTunes at This Link), and to help you decide whether or not this is one you’d like to check out, we have the trailer embedded above.
David Hebrero, who has racked up many credits as a cinematographer and a gaffer, directed Everyone Will Burn from a screenplay he wrote with Javier Kiran. The story centers on María José, an outlier in her small Spanish town, who is grieving after her young son’s suicide. As she teeters on the brink of suicide herself, she encounters a mysterious young girl caked in dirt. It is quickly revealed that the girl has telekinetic powers and might be the harbinger of the apocalyptic prophecy that exists within town legend.

"It's not just a lullaby. It's a prophecy... and omen." Drafthouse Films posted their official US trailer for a Spanish horror thriller film titled Everyone Will Burn, originally called Y Todos Arderán in Spanish. This played at the Alamo Drafthouse's Fantastic Fest last fall and the same trailer originally debuted back then, but with Drafthouse Films finally opening this in theaters this summer it's time to give it another look. In a small village in Leon, María José prepares to end her life after failing to get over the death of her son. Everything changes when she is visited by Lucía, a strange little girl who might just be connected to a local legend about the apocalypse. That's quite an enticing pitch! Macarena Gómez and Sofía García co-star as María José and Lucía, along with Rodolfo Sancho, Ana Milán, Rubén Ochandiano, and Germán Torres. This looks pretty gnarly, stay...

Javier Gutiérrez (“Campeones”), Adriana Ugarte (“Julieta”), Rubén Ochandiano (“Undercover)” and Juana Acosta (“El Inocente”) star in Lobo Feroz.

‘Lobo Feroz,’ Spanish Remake of Israeli Revenge Thriller ‘Big Bad Wolves,’ Drops Trailer (Exclusive)
“Lobo Feroz” (“Ferocious Wolves”), the Spanish-language remake of Israeli revenge thriller “Big Bad Wolves” by Uruguay’s Gustavo Hernandez, is launching its trailer exclusively with Variety, ahead of its Jan. 27 Spanish theatrical release via Filmax.
The mordant revenge thriller follows a detective as he tracks a suspected child killer, a former religious studies teacher who was arrested for the crime, but later released due to a clerical error. The detective eventually teams up with the mother of the most recent victim to mete out justice the law seems unable to provide.
Trailer opens with the detective slamming the suspect’s head against a pool table as he draws parallels with the “Little Red Riding Hood” fairy tale about the little girl who goes into the woods alone and comes across the big bad wolf.

“A Dead Man Cannot Live” begins with Tano, played by the lanky, weathered, deep-voiced Antonio Dechent, one of the finest actors of his around-60 Spanish generation, sitting at a bar rail, and thinking back on better times.
Even the Costa de Sol narco business is going to ruin. Tano’s boss, Manuel, is senile, his son and heir, the inappropriately named Angel, totally out of control. When younger mobsters steal Tano’s latest drug shipment from Morocco, Tano is given a week to retrieve it by the Russians mafia or die.
In the 2000s, Spain’s dominated Europe’s horror genre. Shoot-em-ups, like “A Dead Man,” form part of a building wave of crafted Spanish action thrillers. Few are as bloody and violent as “A Dead Man” which becomes a critique of the tragic consequences of the very brutality it portrays.

Principal photography is just about to wrap on this independent film toplined by Macarena Gómez, Rodolfo Sancho, Rubén Ochandiano and Ana Milán. “A spiritual successor to Rosemary’s Baby” is how David Hebrero describes his second feature following Dulcinea, a horror-drama entitled Y todos arderán (lit. “And They’ll All Burn”). In addition, the filmmaker asserts that it will emit whiffs of the Italian giallo and Spanish fantaterror genres, as well as absorbing and exuding unashamedly obvious influences from the juggernauts of contemporary fantastical film, such as Álex de la Iglesia, Ari Aster and Robert Eggers (The Witch). As a result, expectations are sky-high. And it’s surely for this very reason that the cast, comprising Macarena Gómez, Rodolfo Sancho (whom we...

We’ve already talked about Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful and we finally have a chance to show you the first poster and two photos from this movie which stars Javier Bardem.
Javier Bardem In Biutiful
As we know, Biutiful will be shown at this year’s Cannes Film Festival In Competition. With star power of Javier Bardem in the leading role, the public probably have more eyes on this one than on the other In Competition rivals, from the start. Biutiful is already described as Spanish-language “urban thriller.”

Here’s Biutiful synopsis: A man involved in illegal dealing is confronted by his childhood friend, who is now a policeman.

Ok, we all love Javier Bardem, right, especially after No Country For Old Men and Vicky Cristina Barcelona.
That’s why, although, at first moment, we had no detailed information about Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s upcoming movie titled Biutiful, we already have a feeling that it would be awesome.
And we’ll finally have a chance to enjoy Bardem on big screen at Cannes Film Festival 2010 because this movie is in this year competition!
So, as we said, Javier Bardem is the leading star in Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful, which is actually the first project of Gonzalez after his much-publicized bust-up with former screenwriting partner Guillermo Arriaga.
If you don’t remember these names, let us remind you that Arriaga and Gonzalez Inarritu were Mexico’s most successful filmmaking duo, starting with their breakout hit Amores Perros in 2000 and the subsequent leap into Hollywood with English-language pics 21 Grams and Babel that formed a trilogy.

Pedro Almodovar's latest has the potential to lure viewers in with the promise of the unraveling of a romantic-tragic mystery. And yes, part of the movie is concerned - as many of Almodovar's films are - with passion in its many forms and its unintended consequences. But the filmmaker's true interest this time out appears to be in reconstruction and rebuilding the past. And it is in exploring this theme that the filmmaker elevates the movie to a masterwork.
<strong>Broken Embraces</strong> stars Lluís Homar as a blind screenwriter named Harry Caine who was once a sighted director named Mateo Blanco. Those of you guessing the change has something to do with a beauty named Lena (Penélope Cruz) have been thankfully paying attention. In the present, Harry/Mateo is fairly content with his life, doted upon by his fiercely protective agent, Judit (Blanca Portillo) and her son Diego (Tamar Novas).

Pedro Almodóvar's films are often compared to soap operas, in form if not function. He relishes interpersonal politics -- secrets and lies, hidden relationships, connections whose intricacies unfurl in emotional confrontations. Almodóvar fools us by spooning out low-minded intrigue that is, in fact, a vehicle for sophisticated cinematic statements. As ever, he is exploring the formation of identity in Broken Embraces, but this is perhaps his most explicit gesture in the way cinematic canon plays a role in that identity -- Broken Embraces is stacked with reference, homage, pastiche, and the metaphorical insistence of selfhood through visual artistic creation.
The film's opening shot is an eye reflecting the main protagonist (Lluís Homar), a director and screenwriter who has adopted the Wellesian moniker of Harry Caine after an accident left him with cortical blindness. The shot itself seems to infer, as with Lacan's Mirror, the creation of false subjectivities. Caine...

Pedro Almodóvar dazzles again.
Penélope Cruz in "Broken Embraces"
Photo: Universal
Lena, Mateo and Ernesto are caught up in a vintage film-noir triangle. Lena (Penélope Cruz) is a willful beauty with a lurid secret. She lives in luxury with the much-older Ernesto (José Luis Gómez), a wealthy Madrid businessman, but is falling under the spell of Mateo (Lluís Homar), a celebrated movie director, who has cast her in his latest picture. Ernesto, possessive and ruthless, has arranged to become the film's producer, and has assigned his unstable son (Rubén Ochandiano) to shoot a video documentary about the making of it — footage that allows Ernesto, back in his mansion in Lena's increasing absences, to track her deepening relationship with Mateo.
Pedro Almodóvar's "Broken Embraces" is a rapt essay in film-noir atmosphere — the classic black-and-white fog of desperation, treachery and impending disaster — which has been translated here in carefully calibrated color.

Naturally, we here at MTV will be all over the 2009 awards season, right up to our annual coverage backstage at the Oscars. But who will be the next "Slumdog," "Brokeback" or "Little Miss Sunshine"? Below you'll find a list of 10 films we'll be watching closely between now and Oscar night.

Directed by Almodovar
Starring Penélope Cruz, Lola Dueñas, Chus Lampreave and Blanca Portillo from Volver. Plus: José Luis Gómez, Rossy de Palma (yay!) and Rubén Ochandiano
Synopsis The plot details of this contemporary thriller are being kept secret so the official synopsis is bare bones: "Fourteen years after having an accident that left him blind, a writer and filmmaker remembers the circumstances that surrounded him and the woman that he loved".
Brought to you by El Deseo & Sony Pictures Classics
Expected Release Date November (that's the Almodóvar slot)
Nathaniel: Pedro (also known as "The Greatest Living Film Director") makes sensational cinema and I love that he's been on this Hitchcock groove lately -- think of that great score for Volver or the threatening underlay of Bad Education. He promises this one is funny, too.
Whitney: The first Almodóvar I saw was Talk to Her, and I've felt uncomfortable with him ever since.

Synopsis The plot details of this contemporary thriller are being kept secret so the official synopsis is bare bones: "Fourteen years after having an accident that left him blind, a writer and filmmaker remembers the circumstances that surrounded him and the woman that he loved".

Expected Release Date November (that's the Almodóvar slot)
Nathaniel: Pedro (also known as "The Greatest Living Film Director") makes sensational cinema and I love that he's been on this Hitchcock groove lately -- think of that great score for Volver or the threatening underlay of Bad Education. He promises this one is funny, too.
