“He Who Seeks Revenge Should Dig Two Graves”
Alex Cox’s new film is a scathing black comedy about love, sex, family, murder, incest and revenge, set in a post-apocalyptic Liverpool. After ten years in hiding, Vindici (Christopher Eccleston-28 Days Later, The Others) returns to destroy the Duke (Derek Jacobi-Gosford Park, Gladiator) who murdered Vindici’s wife on their wedding day. During his absence Vindici’s family fell into poverty, while the Duke, Duchess and their decadent sons acquired wealth and power, ruling over their court obsessed with transient beauty, money, inherited privilege and power. Determined to exact his revenge, Vindici sets out to gain the confidence of the Duke and his villainous heir, Lussurioso (Eddie Izzard-Dressed To Kill, Circle).
Featuring brilliant performances by Eccleston, Izzard, and Jacobi, Revengers Tragedy proves once again that Alex Cox (Repo Man, Sid & Nancy) is one of the few truly subversive filmmakers at work today. Somewhere between A Clockwork Orange and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet, this updated telling of Thomas Middleton’s notorious 17th century play is an energetic and stylish masterwork.

Wesley Snipes' Gallowwalkers Sales Art Poster
Gallowwalker poster art featuring Wesley Snipes shows that he is still the man. I loved his Blade movies even though they trailed off to be crap in the end. Wesley Snipes played the role great. Let’s see how Wesley makes his comeback.
Daniel Radcliffe in Horns
In July 2012; Daniel Radcliffe was cast in Alexandre Aja‘s (The Hills Have Eyes, Piranha 3D) adaptation of Joe Hill‘s Horns but now we have a photo. Daniel is set to play the lead role and looks awesome in character. Take a look for yourself!
