James Wan Discusses Aquaman Tone And How It Compares To His Horror Movies
4 May 2016 3:28 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
James Wan’s solo Aquaman movie and indeed the entire DC Extended Universe in general has been thrust into the spotlight in recent days. Mere hours after we learned that Seth Grahame-Smith had exited The Flash citing “creative differences,” reports indicated that Wan could be next in line to follow Grahame-Smith out the exit door.
Alas, much to the relief of fans and all of Atlantis, James Wan remains in the driver’s seat for Warner’s Aquaman movie, and the horror maestro recently touched base on the film’s tone and where it sits among the director’s body of work.
Per Empire:
“Look at the sensibility of my movies, from Furious 7 to the horror films. You can extract the kind of movie I might make of Aquaman.”
Before steering Universal’s Fast and Furious juggernaut directly into the billion dollar club, the filmmaker was a fixture all across the Saw franchise, »

James Wan Talks Aquaman: Will It Be Even Darker Than Batman V Superman?
3 May 2016 4:19 AM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Aquaman is a character that hasn't always been taken very seriously in comic books and other related media. While a recent comic book run by Geoff Johns helped breathe some new life into the modern iteration of the character, it hasn't stopped the general public from poking fun at the seemingly "silly" hero. According to Aquaman director James Wan, he plans to change that with his entry into the DC Extended Universe, and it may be darker than Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was. It's no secret that Wan is known for many horror films, including his co-creation of the Saw and Insidious franchises. In a brief interview with Empire, Wan referenced his film resume when describing what kind of film Aquaman would be. "Look at the sensibility of my movies, from Furious 7 to the horror films. You can extract the kind of movie I might make of Aquaman. »
Aquaman to Be Darker Than Batman v Superman?
2 May 2016 5:03 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Over the course of the last couple of days, there has been a rumor that director James Wan might drop out of Aquaman over creative differences. The director himself chimed in late yesterday. And while he wouldn't specifically address the idea that he might bail on the DC Comics adventure, he did hint that's he's not going anywhere yet. But if there are creative differences between the filmmaker and Warner Bros., perhaps it revolves around just how dark he plans on going with this comic book adventure.
In a recent interview with Empire, the man who co-created the Saw and Insidious horror franchises hints that his upcoming DC Comics standalone movie has more than just a little DNA spillover from his past works. This includes other entries on his directorial resume such as action blockbuster Furious 7 and the underrated 2007 revenge thriller Death Sentence, starring Kevin Bacon. Asked if Aquaman »

Aquaman Movie in Danger of Losing Director James Wan?
30 April 2016 12:08 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
In all honesty, there wasn't too much of a fan uproar earlier this week when it was announced that director Seth Grahame-Smith had bailed on The Flash movie. But it sounds like there are more problems brewing at DC Comics and Warner Bros. In the wake of this departure comes news that fan-favorite director James Wan might be the next to flee the Dceu compound.
Signed to The Flash movie since last October, writer and director Seth Grahame-Smith has cited 'creative differences' as his reason for leaving. Those differences have yet come to light. Similar circumstances surrounded Wonder Woman last year, when Michelle MacLaren exited before shooting was set to start. She also claimed 'creative differences' had driven a wedge between her and the project. She was later replaced by Patty Jenkins, and shooting is about to wrap in Italy. So, as you can see, not all is lost when »

Iff Panama: Get to Know Seasoned Filmmaker and Educator Jorge Ameer
25 April 2016 5:28 PM, PDT | Sydney's Buzz | See recent Sydney's Buzz news »
While in Panama for the film festival, one of the notable people I met was Jorge Ameer.
Jorge left his home in Panama at age 16 in the late 1980s due to political unrest and civil instability. The country’s dictator and drug king Noriega was recruiting young men to fight in his military army as the looming confrontation with the United States approached. In 1989, the United States invaded Panama under the name of “Just Cause” ousted the Panamanian dictator.
Living in Los Angeles, at the age of 18, he was selected to participate in the Walt Disney College Program. He worked in the marketing departments of New Line Cinema, Paramount and Columbia Pictures. In motion picture development, Jorge worked as a story analyst for Richard Gere's production company and Wendy Finerman's productions at Tri Star Pictures in the early nineties and the now defunct Fries Entertainment.
He also tried his hand at acting and was in Gramercy's "Panther" and "Tales from the Hood", HBO's "Social Friction Fables" New Line's "Friday" along with other cameos and supporting roles. He co-starred opposite award winning actor Matthew Leitch (Star of “Aka”) in the carnival romp "Sabor Tropical".
Ameer served as the coordinator for the 1988 Latino Entertainment Industry Conference and as a member of the advisory board of the Methodfest Film Festival. He was also the U.S. representative for the Barcelona G & L Film Festival and a film programmer for the Palm Springs G & L Film Festival.
In October 1997, he founded and executive directed The Continental Film Festival, better known as the first American Independent film festival held overseas on the island of Contadora, off the Gulf of Panama. There is where his film career actually began. He served as a festival coordinator during the very beginnings of the Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival founded by Edward James Olmos and Marlene Dehmer.
At these festivals, Ameer helped in the selection of many foreign features. After noticing a lack of recognition of foreign and independent gay themed films released theatrically, he founded the International Gay Film Awards, the Glitter Awards (2001-2008), at that time the only award show of its kind.
In 1997, Ameer also started Hollywood Independents, a distribution company which launched with the theatrical release of "California Myth" starring Tyron Powers Jr.
Thereafter, the company has released such titles as the Jamaican/American co-production "Klash" starring Jazmine Guy, "Eastside" starring Mario Lopez, "Tequila Body Shots" starring Joey Lawrence, "Poor White Trash" starring Jamie Pressley, Jason London, William Devane and Sean Young, Spain's Academy Awards Winning film (Goya Winner) "I will Survive" (Sobrevivire), and "Hotel Room" from the director of "Nico & Dani". Other releases include his film "The Singing Forest", and "Junked" starring Thomas Jane (star of "The Mist", "Punisher" and the popular HBO series "Hung") and Jordan Ladd (star of "Cabin Fever", "Hostel 2").
Jorge Ameer's theatrical distribution company Hollywood Independents International opened its theatrical distribution operations in Central and South America in 2006 with the theatrical release of "Grande Ecole" a film by Robert Salis. The French film was censored and banned in Panama due to its explicit sexual content
Ameer took a trip to Panama to denounce the banning of this film. After outrage was expressed by the Panamanian press, the film opened successfully in Panama. It opened number one at the Alhambra-Plus Transistmica beating studio films "Night at the Museum" and "Deja Vu". It broke box office records locally, playing in theaters for eight weeks.
On January 26, 2009 the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture study invited Mr. Ameer's to have his screenplays be a permanent part of "The Core Collection". The screenplays in this collection are made accessible for research purposes; students, filmmakers, writers and actors are among the patrons.
In April 2011, Mr. Ameer started his own film series in Panama called Jorge Ameer presents Cine Serie Independiente, a showcase to promote and exhibit high profile award winning independent and foreign films in Panama.
He brought in Aluzio Abranche's controversial incestuous drama of brotherly love "From Beginning to End" (“Do Comeco ao Fim”), Andre Shortell's "Psych 9" starring Sara Foster & Cary Elwes and Karee Andrew's "Altitude".
During the film presentations, directors presented their work to Panamanian audiences in person and live via skype. This is the first time in Panama's cinema history technology has allowed local cinephiles the opportunity to interact with award winning filmmakers virally before and after their film presentations.
Unfortunately, the presenting cinema and only theatre exhibitor to support independent films - the Alhambra Theatres- closed the following year, 2012, due to financial troubles. It was the last of a series of vintage stand-alone cinemas constructed during the boom of single screen theatres and drive-ins in Panama.
There are currently only two theatre chain exhibitors (Cinepolis & Cinemark) operating in Panama. Both chains have their multiplex cinemas located throughout today's popular mega malls.
Several months after his film series, Mr. Ameer produced the opening night after-party to the October 2011 edition of Screamfest, the world's premiere horror film festival based in Hollywood, California. The event was held at the Hollywood Renaissance Hotel. The event brought luminaries of the genre such as Paranormal Activity's Oren Peli, "Saw" and "Insidious" director James Wan, as well as "Grease", "Summer Lovers", "Blue Lagoon" director Randal Kleiser and "Firestarters", "Class of 1984" director Mark Lester to name a few celebrity attendees. With a seance theme, over 400 votive candles were used to create the atmosphere. In addition over one hundred skulls, the Screamfest symbol, were featured as centerpieces and part of the morbid "look" throughout the event. A well-lit coffin surrounded by neon lights was featured in the gift room where guests retrieved their gift bags from the open casket.
Mr. Ameer has authored, produced, and directed the theatrical features "The Truth Within", "Strippers","The Singing Forest", "Contadora is for lovers", "The House of Adam", "The Dark Side of Love","Sabor Tropical", "D'Agostino". All projects released theatrically through Hollywood Independents.
Ameer has produced, written and directed countless 35mm comedic shorts films to name a few "My Straight Boyfriend", "Popcorn & Coke", "Uninhibited", "Midnight Snack", "Tease" now available on DVD as a compilation of shorts called “Straight Men & the Men Who Love Them”.
This collection has been so successful that he has executive produced, programmed and curated two more such programs “Straight Men & the Men Who Love Them 2” and the upcoming “Straight Men & the Men Who Love Them 3”. The latest compilation of shorts is a collection of international shorts curated from the Cannes Film Festival Short Film Corner.
Ameer made a documentary "Classic Hollywood Cinemas" an in depth look at the old Hollywood movie palaces, their historic and preservation value and impact.
He's also produced and arranged the publishing of the historical and award winning first ever "Guide to Gay & Lesbian Film which has won many book awards for its detail, educational and historical contribution to independent gay and lesbian films released in theaters.
In addition to filmmaking, within the exhibition industry, Jorge Ameer was the last person to re-open the historic Vogue theatre in Hollywood as a movie theatre to showcase independent films. Films such as "Nico and Dani" (Tla Releasing) and "Just one time" from the now defunct Cowboy Releasing played at this theatre. The resurgence of film exhibition at the Vogue was short lived due to alleged hauntings at the venue where a paranormal research group leased the theatre from Mann theaters to set up shop as headquarters for their research group.
Jorge Ameer's "The Dark Side of Love " was the last film to shoot at the Regent Showcase Theatre in Hollywood prior to its closing. "The Regent Showcase Theatre, originally the Gordon Theatre (1938), is one of the older art houses in Los Angeles until its closing in May 2009.
A human rights activist, Ameer has spent most of his career creating controversial, cutting edge trivial stories with thought provoking subject matters to challenge audiences from the stereotypical social conventions and outdated traditional values which detract from enhancing the global human experience.
He is currently working on his latest film project “Oasis” to be shot in Panama during the month of August. Oasis” is a twisted thriller set in the backdrop of Panama's paradise its about a newlywed American who decides to visit a friend while in Panama on business, to rekindle their friendship to prove his love to his wife by killing him.
Also, on the current issue of Scream Magazine issue # 35, the worlds largest horror film magazine, his “Medusa” has received with extensive coverage. The film is currently playing in theaters in the U.S. through Regal Cinemas after having its world premiere at the Cannes Film Market.
“Medusa” had its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival Marche along with a horror short he starred in called "Find Pauletta" in the Short Film Corner. This was the first time a Panamanian has had two films in two different programs of the Cannes Film Festival.
VFX for “Medusa” was by Jeremy Vanneman who has worked on many studio films including the upcoming “Ghostbusters”, “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “San Andreas”, etc. “Medusa” also has a celebrity cameo by 80's hearthrob William McNamara.
Jorge is the only Panamanian filmmaker who writes, direct, produces and own his own production and distribution company in Hollywood.
Jorge Ameer has also pioneered and procured the opening of the first high school film program at one of the oldest (110 years) and most prestigious private high schools in Panama, the Pan American Institute (Instituto Panamericano) in Panama City.
The film program curriculum was designed by Ameer and approved by the Ministry of Education.
It launched in 2015 with the first class schedule to graduate in 2017.
In his own words:
The high school film program was an idea that started because of the lack of opportunity and education in film that I myself had when growing up. I loved film so much; film was my babysitter during my childhood years. Whenever I wasn't in school I was at the movie theatre watching several films a day until my mom picked me up from the theatre. I attended the Pan American Institute (Instituto Panamericano) from kindergarten through graduation 1989.
Decades later as a filmmaker, distributor and film buyer, I approached the principal of the high school with the high risk idea of starting a film school program for an industry that even though in its infancy I knew it would grow leaps and bounds if those who pushed hard enough would stick with it to create some semblance of film opportunities and production here in Panama. Ten years later after designing a very thorough program that includes script writing, production, distribution, film marketing, campaign strategy, film fund and grant writing as well as crowdfunding to use donors as ambassadors to promote the film, the Ministry of Education approved the program.
Last year, the first students, approximately 27 brave souls, risking the uncertainty the entertainment field has to offer, weathered the scrutiny of their parents to become the pioneering and prototype Class of 2017. This Class, now in the 11th grade, is gearing up to produce its first set of shorts for the Ipa Student Film Festival. The first film festival of its kind, it showcases the works of these film students with the goal of creating filmmakers from an early stage who will graduate with films reels in their areas of interest which will show their talents to prospective universities, scholarship programs and other international student competitions.
I got the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Film Department called Di Cine in conjunction with the Panama Film Commission to fund the projections of these works which will take place as an outdoor cinema event on the school grounds. on Friday, August 5 at 7pm. Provided the students meet the minimum Gpa, they will be required to do internships placed and provided through the Film Commission in conjunction with other private film entities such as the Tvn Channel 2, one of Panama's major television networks as well as The Panama Canal Chanel among other companies offering opportunities for these students to practice their craft prior to graduating.
Currently, under construction, is an upcoming state of the art film lab studio facility providing students with the opportunity to develop their talents. Also a new auditorium will host film events and eventually the high school graduation ceremony. »

10 Film Sequels And Spin-Offs That Should Never Have Happened
4 April 2016 3:33 PM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
The law of diminishing returns dictates that when Hollywood seizes on a sleeper hit and begins cranking out sequels, prequels and spin-offs, the desire to make money will suck all the life out of the material and produce a film of inferior quality.
Released in 2004, James Wan’s Saw was a movie for the head, a well thought-out psycho-thriller that didn’t skimp on character. By the time of Saw 3D, the series had become a parody of its former self, resorting to violence so cartoonish and overdone that it was impossible to take seriously.
Memo to aspiring filmmakers: when you open a movie with 2 alpha males being forced into combat by a tricycle-riding puppet, you’ve abandoned the source material and lurched into high camp. Sure you can recycle shtick from earlier installments, but as another victim faces another round of torture porn, we’re reminded that »

James Wan Says the 'Aquaman' Movie Will Show the Badass Side of the DC Superhero
28 March 2016 2:30 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Thanks to the breakout success of the gritty shocker Saw in 2004, James Wan was immediately tagged as a filmmaker to watch. His next two movies, the atmospheric horror tale Dead Silence and the brutal thriller Death Sentence, may not have performed well at the box office, but they showed the increasing range of his talent. They also set the stage for a trio of intense and popular fright flicks from Wan: Insidious (2010), The Conjuring (2013) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013). After the popular success of those films, Wan took on the action blockbuster Furious 7 after director Justin Lin stepped away from the franchise. Wan guided the movie through its many challenges, including the unexpected death of Paul Walker, and Furious 7 was a giant success worldwide. The filmmaker...

First Trailer For Lights Out Is Skin-Crawlingly Scary
27 March 2016 3:18 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
After stepping away from the horror genre to direct Furious 7, James Wan is back in full, frightening force this year, directing The Conjuring 2 (for which a blood-curdling trailer just dropped) and producing the very creepy-looking Lights Out. The first full trailer for the latter, which Warner Bros. is heavily backing with a prime summer release slot, just arrived, and it’s immediately clear why the studio is so gung-ho about the frightener – this thing looks absolutely terrifying.
David F. Sandberg is making his feature debut on the pic, an adaptation of his spine-tingling 2013 short (which you can watch and consequently lose sleep over here). He’s working with a great cast, too, including Teresa Palmer, Gabriel Bateman, Alexander Dipersia, Billy Burke and Maria Bello, and a beefed-up premise. Whereas the short just went for the jugular (and the light-switch), this spin on the concept (a demon can only »

You Can't Sit Still with this Trailer for The Conjuring 2!
27 March 2016 4:00 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
It has been a few years since James Wan's (Saw) The Conjuring (2013) has been released. This horror film fan remembers seeing the original film in 2014, on home entertainment formats and it was the scariest film of the year, for this viewer. Wan continues to utilize terrifying horror stories and chilling sound designs for the sequel, The Conjuring 2. This time, events take place in 1971, in North London. Here, a single mother and her four children are haunted by an unspeakable demon. Starring Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson, the first trailer shows the Warrens encountering the darkest of forces; the clip is not to be missed. The synopsis is sparse. However, the film's story involves the Enfield Haunting, which took place over eight years in the 1970s. A poltergeist was thought to be the source of the trouble, in a large, rustic home. Now, this haunting will see big screens this summer. »

The Conjuring 2 Trailer Is Suspenseful, Terrifying, and Dark
26 March 2016 2:02 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Horror movies are really a dime a dozen. While the genre is produced almost ad nauseum, there are few titles that succeed in truly terrifying audiences. One of the most consistently scary horror creators is none other than James Wan. In addition to directing the original Saw film, Wan also directed the massively successful and truly terrifying Insidious films, as well as The Conjuring. Now Wan is stepping back into the world of the Lorraine and Ed Warren with The Conjuring 2. While a teaser was previously shown, the first full-length trailer was released today. Check it out, but hopefully not in the dark. Did you jump too? Like more than once? Seriously, this trailer is gold. The Conjuring 2 is the sequel to the rather successful 2013 film. Both films are based on cases from the real-life paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. The two would travel around the world »
The Conjuring 2: Expect the Worst (In a Good way)
21 March 2016 9:27 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
This June will see the release of the highly anticipated follow-up to hit horror outing The Conjuring, which means that once more we’ll be opening the past case files of famed paranormal investigative couple Ed and Lorraine Warren. The sequel is based on the true life events that occurred in a home in north England in the late 70’s, which was better known at the time as the Enfield Poltergeist, and revolves around the time that the Warrens visited the home and met with the family to investigate this unsettling event.
Here’s hoping that 2016 will be another great year in horror. It’s obvious that horror is already influencing a number of other mediums at the moment with horror on TV in particular enjoying huge success. Even the gaming industry is seeing a rise in genre-based franchises including the release of the Outlast sequel and the Scary Friends »

Lucas Till to star in new MacGyver series for CBS
21 March 2016 4:15 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Fans of mid-80s network TV adventure shows probably hold MacGyver pretty close to their hearts, along with Magnum Pi, Knight Rider, and probably Tom Sellick’s mustache, come to think of it. And in great news for TV executives, those same fans are now grownups with bank accounts, mortgages and children….and a desperate need for escapes from those things. Nostalgic escapes, preferably. And so it has come to pass that nostalgia has become synonymous with TV in particular these days, with practically every show from our collective childhood being revived in some form or another. They were bound to get around to MacGyver sooner or later, and the upcoming revival has apparently found its lead.
X-Men: First Class star Lucas Till has been announced as CBS’ new Angus MacGyver, filling the role made famous by Richard Dean Anderson. For those born after the 80s (and who don’t »

Jeff Nichols Talks Turning Down "Aquaman"
7 March 2016 1:18 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
"Take Shelter" and "Mud" filmmaker Jeff Nichols, out doing promotional rounds for his new film "Midnight Special," has spoken about that time when he was in serious consideration to helm the standalone "Aquaman" movie at Warner Bros. Pictures.
"Saw" and "Furious 7" director James Wan ultimately landed the gig, but back in late 2014 the hack of Sony Pictures led to the news that Nichols was in talks to direct the Jason Momoa-led DC Comics adaptation. Speaking with ScreenCrush this week, Nichols revealed why he ultimately didn't want to be a part of the DC Extended Universe:
"But, you know [sighs] the trick with 'Midnight Special' is even though it was made at the studio [Warner Bros.], they gave me a lot of control over the process. And I don't just mean control over final cut, but it felt like we were making one of my movies. I had my team. »
