“A Murder at the End of the World” creator, director and actor Brit Marling traced the whodunnit genre back to “between the First and the Second World War, which makes sense because that was another time that everyone was kind of looking around and being like, okay, who did this? How did we get to the place that we’re in? And it felt very much like that’s where we were and where we still are.” That led her and her creative partner Zal Batmanglij to develop a whodunnit of their own. Watch our exclusive video interview with Marling above.
“Murder” follows Darby Hart (Emma Corrin), a young hacker and amateur detective who is invited to an Icelandic retreat by a mysterious tech billionaire (Clive Owen). When someone turns up dead, it’s up to Darby to figure out who the culprit is. With characters well-versed in modern technology,...

Brit Marling is a fascinating example of a brainy talent who in 2009 turned her back on the financial security of Wall Street to follow her yen to make movies. She and her Georgetown buddy Zal Batmanglij, while they were unable to get work in film, spent that first summer trawling around the country with backpacks living off the grid with anarchist collectives, direct action groups and freegans, dumpster diving and train hopping, which later became rich fodder for their current film, their second together, the terrorist thriller "The East" (May 31). See our flipcam interview and trailer below. After co-directing a 2004 documentary with Mike Cahill ("Boxers and Ballerinas"), Marling broke out at Sundance 2011 as the co-writer-producer-star of two provocatively watchable indie features directed by Georgetown grads, Cahill's haunting sci-fi film "Another Earth" and Batmanglij's "The Sound of My Voice," in which she held the screen as a mesmerizing cult leader. The films proved.

She may have the exquisite bone structure, dazzling ocean-blue eyes and beachy blond locks common to La La Land ladies but Brit Marling is not your typical acting ingenue, choosing to give movies a try after her life as an academic felt too safe, too boring, too predictable. And it doesn't seem you can shake things up any more than by thrusting yourself into the choppy waters of professional movie-making.
Since co-directing the doc Boxers and Ballerinas in 2004, Marling has been steadily making her way in Hollywood on her own terms, writing and directing, and more recently, acting in films she's had a hand in creating and controlling, like last year's award-winning indie Another Earth.
This coming weekend she stars in Sound of My Voice, playing a limited run at select Cineplex theatres, playing a mysterious cult leader who gets her dedicated followers to believe she's from the future and...

At just 32 years old Mike Cahill has amassed a small but strong list of credits to his name. While studying economics at Georgetown University Cahill met Brit Marling, and a shared passion for cinema resulted in them collaborating on short films which Cahill would direct and Marling would star in. Several years later the pair worked on a documentary entitled Boxers and Ballerinas that explored the conflict between the U.S. and Cuba.
Cahill was the youngest field producer, editor and cinematographer for National Geographic Television and Film, and worked as an editor on the films Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man and Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out, as well as various television shows and music videos.
Cahill’s first feature film as director and screenwriter is Another Earth which he cowrote with Marling, who also plays the lead role. This acclaimed and thought-provoking movie focuses on two...

Chicago – The real strength of the new film “Another Earth” doesn’t necessarily lie in the science fiction aspect of a world appearing in the sky and bearing down on our earth, but in the humanity that is changed and reflected through that event. Director Mike Cahill co-wrote and directed this impressive and imaginative film.
Cahill is a writer, director, producer, cinematographer and editor that got his start as a field producer for National Geographic, making over a dozen films about animals and nature for that cable channel. His directorial debut came in 2004 with “Boxers and Ballerinas” (co-directed and co-written by Brit Marling, his writing partner on Another Earth). His interest in science and his experience shooting thousands of hours of film directly influenced the fragile and delicate atmosphere of his new film.

Another Earth is not a perfect movie, but it's kind of the epitome of why so many of us love indie films, making it no wonder that it's one of the "hot" Sundance flix this year. It ticks off the boxes for so many of our indie film requirements:
1. Has an interesting concept that blends genres. This is one of the movies where I can go one of two ways, telling you very little about the plot, or giving you a bit more. It doesn't much matter, as it's an enjoyable film either way, but I think it's a better viewing experience with the smaller plot description. Feel free to whichever paragraph you think is right for you:
--Brief description. A new planet, previously obscured by the sun, is discovered to be an apparent duplicate of our own Earth. While the world deals with the ramifications of this, Rhoda Williams...

I've always considered my earliest memories to be a guiding light by which I navigate my life as an entertainer. These memories and the emotions attached to them provide an awesome foundation for my creativity and it is an exceedingly rare opportunity when I am afforded the chance to experience a medium that taps that very foundation for me. Like a children's book hearkening back to those innocent and youthful days when pure imagination was the key to unlocking any door, Another Earth spins a beautifully simple story that plumbs the depths of not just the heart and mind, but of the prismatic wonder that is the human condition.
The Basics
Rhoda Williams is like any teenager at the beginning of her life. With her MIT acceptance letter in her pocket, she celebrates the night away, her future bright and full of promise. But fate can deal a cruel hand...

If you could meet your other you - what would you say? That's the question an intriguing new viral-ish website for Mike Cahill's sci-fi indie Another Earth addresses. Fox Searchlight, who picked up the film from Sundance, recently launched a website located at MeetYourOtherYou.com that uses some webcam trickery to run a little video where you will communicate with your "other self" from that "other Earth." Those that have seen the official trailer for this film remember the moment when the person on the TV talks back and this is trying to achieve the same effect but with everyone individually. It's pretty cool - try it out! Just click on the image above to head to the "Other You" website. Be sure to watch the official trailer as well. Another Earth is both written and directed by American filmmaker Mike Cahill, whose feature directing debut was Boxers and Ballerinas...

Another Earth had its World Premiere at Sundance this year, and critics and fans alike all walked out praising the film as the next Moon. The indie low budget sci-fi feature comes from Mike Cahill, whose background comes largely from documentaries with National Geographic, while his co-conspirator, Brit Marling, worked as an investment-banking analyst before taking a sabbatical to co-direct the Havana-based doc Boxers and Ballerinas. The two wrote the screenplay for Another Earth with Cahill directing, producing, shooting and editing while Marling acts as his co-producer and star. Alice was lucky enough to see the secret screening over at SXSW 2011, and wrote up a really great review which you can read here.

I'm a huge fan of Mark Romanek's "Never Let Me Go," which has a sci-fi twist, but is not really a sci-fi movie. Fox Searchlight has just released the trailer for "Another Earth," which attempts something similar. Check out the trailer below. Plot: Rhoda Williams (Brit Marling), who is a bright young woman accepted into MIT's astrophysics program, aspires to explore the cosmos. A brilliant composer, John Burroughs (William Mapother), has just reached the pinnacle of his profession and is about to have a second child. On the eve of the discovery of a duplicate Earth, tragedy strikes and the lives of these strangers become irrevocably intertwined. The new movie is directed by Mike Cahill (Boxers and Ballerinas). It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year where it was acquired by Fox Searchlight. The film is now scheduled to hit theaters on July 22nd, in limited release.

Chicago – An overarching feeling of optimism seemed to permeate throughout the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. Studios purchased the distribution rights to roughly 30 movies, nearly double the number of films that sold last year. Several of the festival’s most buzzed-about discoveries could easily find a sizable audience outside of the festival circuit, either in theaters or on VOD.
Paramount and Indian Paintbrush certainly appeared confident in their purchase of “Like Crazy,” the latest film from “Douchebag” director Drake Doremus, which flew under nearly everyone’s radar before claiming the festival’s top prize. It follows a young couple, played by Anton Yelchin and Felicity Jones, as they attempt to maintain a long distance relationship between America and Britain. The largely improvised film has already been compared to bittersweet romances such as “Before Sunrise” and “Blue Valentine.” Jones is quickly emerging as an actress to watch, a fact solidified by the special...

[1] At the beginning of the week, everyone was talking about Elizabeth Olsen, the Other Olsen sister, who had been unofficially crowned the "it" girl of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. She's a new young talent that had her public coming out, appearing in two films at this year's fest, both of which sold early in the week -- Martha Marcy May Marlene and Silent House. And Elizabeth is a talent we should watch out for in years to come, but the star power extruding from her family's name seems to be blinding people to the real story, the real "it" girl of this year's festival -- Brit Marling. If you ask me, she is a new force in the independent film scene. Not only did she star in two of the more highly acclaimed films of this year's Sundance, but she also co-wrote and produced both features. Both movies have a sci-fi component,...

Brit Marling is pulling double duty at this year's Sundance Film Festival. The actor is being billed—in press notes, anyway—as "the first female multi-hyphenate to have two films premiere side by side" at Sundance. Awkward a noun as "multi-hyphenate" is, it does the job. Marling is here with "Another Earth" and "Sound of My Voice," both of which she stars in, co-wrote, and co-produced. In the humanist science-fiction film "Another Earth," the actor plays Rhoda, a promising high school student whose life is altered by a tragic mistake and further complicated by an extraordinary discovery. In "Sound of My Voice," Marling plays a far different character—Maggie, a ruthless cult leader who becomes the object of two documentary filmmakers' curiosity. "Earth" was directed and co-written by Marling's Georgetown classmate Mike Cahill. Another college pal, Zal Batmanglij, directed and co-wrote "Voice.""We all used to make short films in school together,...

(Sharon Swart is assisting Deadline’s Sundance coverage) Sundance has launched new directors’ careers for decades, most famously Steven Soderbergh with his 1989 sex, lies, and videotape. In recent years, helmers including Ryan Fleck (2006’s Half Nelson) and Cary Fukunaga (2009’s Sin Nombre) broke through at the festival. This year, films from several returning Sundance directors, including Drake Doremus (Like Crazy), Jacob Aaron Estes (The Details), and Miranda July (The Future) are getting attention. Here’s a look at more under-the-radar names emerging this year: Mike Cahill: His competition film Another Earth was just acquired by Fox Searchlight after receiving a standing ovation at Sundance’s Eccles Theatre on Monday. The minimalist sci-fi drama concerns a budding astrophysics student played by Brit Marling who accidentally kills a man’s family. “I love the idea of space and science being used as a metaphor,” Cahill said after his screening. “What I wanted to explore is,...
