‘K-11’ From Kristen Stewart’s Mom Gets Picked Up for Distribution
It doesn’t hurt to have your daughter constantly in the news when it comes time to get your feature film directorial debut picked up for distribution, does it?
Jules Stewart, mom of Twilight star Kristen, just had her dramatic film K-11 picked up by Breaking Glass Pictures. Breaking Glass is planning to open the film in North American theaters in late 2012 or early 2013.
Breaking Glass CEO Rich Wolff made the deal for distribution in collaboration with Libertine Films’ Tom Wright. Announcing the acquisition, Wright stated: “The Breaking Glass team is a great fit for K-11 as they are uniquely positioned to market the film to both a wide audience and the several niche demographics that will love this film. We’re certain they will truly capitalize on its diverse market appeal.”
Added Wolff: “We are pleased to be distributing the very talented Jules Stewart’s first film. K-11 is very unique to say the least and surely will raise a few eyebrows. The acting is dead on, the story is gripping, and we are gunning for multiple award nominations.”
The Plot: The film follows Raymond Saxx Jr. (Goran Visnjic), a powerful record producer who wakes from a drug-induced blackout to find himself locked up in K-11, the [real] section of the Los Angeles County Men’s Central jail for gay and transgender inmates. Plunged into a nightmarish world ruled by a transsexual diva named Mousey (Kate del Castillo), Raymond is truly a fish out of water.
Complicating matters are a troubled young transgender named Butterfly (Portia Doubleday), a predatory child molester (Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister), and the ruthless Sheriff’s Deputy, Lt. Johnson (D.B. Sweeney). Ray’s struggle to contact the outside world and regain his freedom seems impossible, so he must learn to navigate this new power structure if he is ever going to survive and regain control of his life.
The cast also includes Jason Mewes, Tara Buck, and Kristen’s brother, Cameron.
Movie 43 Restricted Trailer Arrives
This comedy movie had me at “Gerard Butler as a leprechaun.” In the new red band trailer (totally inappropriate for work, anyone easily offended, or under 17) for Movie 43, Butler is just one of dozens of recognizable faces handling roles we wouldn’t usually associate with their body of work. Included in the new trailer are scenes with Elizabeth Banks, Halle Berry, Kate Bosworth, Kieran Culkin, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Chloë Grace Moretz, Chris Pratt, Liev Schreiber, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, and Kate Winslet.
Directed by Steven Brill, Peter Farrelly, Will Graham, Steve Carr, Griffin Dunne, James Duffy, Jonathan Van Tulleken, Elizabeth Banks, Patrik Forsberg, Brett Ratner, Rusty Cundieff, and James Gunn, Movie 43 will hit theaters on January 25, 2013.
The Plot:
Movie 43 is the outrageous new comedy from the twisted mind of Peter Farrelly and starring some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Comprised of hilarious and offensive story lines and featuring tons of familiar faces we love, Movie 43 is the first of its kind, putting each actor in crazy and unique scenarios. This isn’t spam, it’s just celebrities gone wild… or perhaps it’s just plain wrong!

Cinemax Renews Strike Back
Strike Back will be back in 2013 for season #3. Cinemax just confirmed the action series will return with 10 new episodes in 2013 and that shooting will take place on next season’s episodes in South Africa and Hungary.
Returning for season three are director Michael Bassett and writers Simon Burke, James Dormer and Richard Zajdlic. However, Cinemax doesn’t want to spoil anything so they aren’t revealing which cast members will be returning next season.
Details on Strike Back:
The first season introduced an unlikely pair of operatives in the stealth counterterrorism unit Section 20: Sgt. Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester), an exceptional British Special Forces (SBS) soldier, and the less-conventional Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton), a former U.S. Delta Force member. In the second season, currently debuting new episodes Fridays at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT) and concluding its run Oct. 12, the team tracks nuclear triggers stolen by a powerful businessman with dangerous geo-political ambitions, while the two lead characters face personal challenges and contend with the pressures of their high-stress work.
