Robert Redford, President & Founder of Sundance Institute said, “That the Festival has evolved and grown as it has over the past 30 years is a credit to both our audiences and our artists, who continue to find ways to take risks and open our minds to the power of story. This year’s films and artists promise to do the same.”

The U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competition lineups for the 2014 Sundance Film Festival were announced today and just below I have featured pictures from the 16 films that will be competing in the U.S. Dramatic competition and they feature a lot of names you're going to recognize. The titles begin with Camp X-Ray, which stars Kristen Stewart as a guard in Guantanamo Bay, where she forms an unlikely friendship with one of the detainees. Jim Mickle made an impact earlier this year with We Are What We Are and he returns with Michael C. Hall with Cold in July. Fishing Without Nets looks to tell a story similar to that of Captain Phillips, only this time from the Somali side of things; God's Pocket is "Mad Men" star John Slattery's writing and directorial debut and he's lined up an impressive cast including Philip Seymour Hoffman, Richard Jenkins,...

...I had told you it was a Tyler Perry presentation? I have nothing against Tyler Perry, in fact, I've never seen a film he's directed and only seen two films he's acted in... one I really like the other I loathe. And when it comes to his work as a producer, I've only seen Precious, which I also really liked. So in those terms, two-for-three isn't bad even if one of those two is more like a .003. So, to Peeples, a new film Perry produced and is presenting, but did not direct and is not a member of the cast. Instead this one was written and directed by Tina Gordon Chism (writer of Drumline and Atl) and stars the very funny and talented Craig Robinson ("The Office", Hot Tub Time Machine) alongside Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier, S. Epatha Merkerson, Tyler Williams (not Perry), Melvin Van Peebles (not Mario) and Diahann Carroll.

Dare I say it, but “Peeples” seems like it’s about to be a slight shift towards “no stereotypes” in the Tyler Perry film “Peeples.” The Lionsgate film is written and directed by first-time director Tina Gordon Chism and presented by Perry to the masses. The film is about a man wanting to ask for his girlfriend’s hand in marriage. The only problem is that she comes from an uppity family: The film stars Craig Robinson, Kerry Washington, David Alan Grier, S. Epatha Merkerson, Tyler Williams, Melvin Van Peebles, and Diahann Carroll and comes to theaters May 10. “Sparks fly when Wade Walker (Craig Robinson) crashes the preppy Peeples annual reunion [ Read More ]
