The Divide - Reviews from around the net.
Starting 2012 with the End of the world wont be everyones cup of tea. But if you like you scifi horror presented stylish and gruesome then The Divide directed by Xavier Gens and written by Errors of The Human Body Director Eron Sheean, might be for you this weekend.
Below are links to what the Critics are saying about this apocalytpic scifi thriller.
Keep coming back . We shall post more reviews as they are available. Venues and screen times are listed for the selected cinemas at the bottom of this article.
Aint It Cool News
"The bleak depths this film ventures into is frightening in itself. Seeing HEROES Milo Ventimiglia and Michael Eklund go off the deep end is the true highlight here and makes for some of the most disturbing moments of the film."
Planet Fury
"Think Heart of Darkness in a radioactive basement. Expect Masque of the Red Death in the rotten core of the Big Apple. The characters in The Divide drink, fight and fuck, for tomorrow they die".
Digital Hippos
The film piles on horror after gruesome horror, following acts of necessary gore with the inevitable devastation of guilt. Soon violence becomes more of a pleasure for the men and Eva is forced to take unthinkable measures.
The Phoenix
"...it's clear this group (including Rosanna Arquette, Milo Ventimiglia, and James Cameron regular Michael Biehn) wasn't the most stable to begin with. Hey, they're New Yorkers."
Bloody Disgusting.com
The Divide is a terrifying and bleak vision of the future whose performances and images will stick with you for days after you watch it

BROTHERHOOD IN THEATERS THIS FEBRUARY!
Hi Everyone!
The countdown to the release of BROTHERHOOD has begun! Brotherhood opens at the Angelika (Mockingbird Station) in Dallas on February 18th, in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Sunset 5 on February 25th, and will also be available Nation-wide (in literally every city) on Video-On-Demand February 18th.
Many of you have been asking about the release, how to spread the word, and how you can help. So I wanted to get you guys some information so you know what to expect and how you can help start spreading the word. It is SO IMPORTANT that we all really get our network of friends, family, and co-workers out to the theaters to see the movie. The movie will succeed or not based on how we mobilize!
The way BROTHERHOOD will be successful and expand from Dallas and Los Angeles to theaters in other cities is by having successful opening weekends in those two cities. If we all reach out and really promote the film to friends, family, and people inside our networks, BROTHERHOOD will absolutely be successful and there's no limit to how well the film can do.
What can you do?
1. Forward this email to your network of friends and family and ask them to pass it along as well.
2. Start talking to your friends, family and co-workers about BROTHERHOOD. Tell them that it's coming to Theaters and On-Demand February 18th and 25th. And tell them that you will pass along information about tickets when that info is available.
3. If you're not already a FAN of BROTHERHOOD on FACEBOOK, become a FAN and SUGGEST that your friends also become FANS (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Brotherhood/314075901841). Once you're a fan on Facebook be sure to LIKE our posts and then SHARE them with your friends. You can also follow BROTHERHOOD on TWITTER @brotherhoodfilm. And follow our website (www.brotherhoodthemovie.com<http://www.brotherhoodthemovie.com> ). All three are great ways to see interviews, reviews and to keep up with all things related to the film and its release.
Our distributor has brought on some amazing resources in terms of PR Firms, both nationally and locally, as well as digital and street teams. The BROTHERHOOD trailer will premiere this FRIDAY(21st) online at YAHOO! MOVIES, on TV on the REELZ CHANNEL show NAKED TRAILERS, and in Los Angeles and Dallas-area Angelika and Laemmle theaters. Our PRESS and REVIEWS in newspapers, magazines, and online are just starting to take shape. Next week, JON FOSTER is taping an episode of LAST CALL WITH CARSON DALY to promote BROTHERHOOD, which will air closer to the film's release and we will have many more T.V. appearances with the CAST and FILMMAKERS coming in the weeks leading up to the release. We also have all kinds of amazing posters and video content that we have created specifically to market the film, but...
The way the film is REALLY GOING TO BE SUCCESSFUL, is by all of us spreading the word. It is so easy to do and will make all the difference in the world for the film's release!
Thank you all so much for your support and if anyone has any questions at all, please feel free to email or call me. And I'll see you all in Dallas and LA!
Best,
Will Canon
Director, Brotherhood

THE END
"The End" opens with a very "Se7en"-esque aesthetic. Black and white film footage amid skipping titles... you get the feeling, with the menacing music and the dark voice-over, that you're about to see a documentary about the Devil, or at the very least, Hell itself. Which is partially true, as "The End" recounts the exploits and adventures of a very violent group of gangsters from post-World War II London's East End.

SCREENDAILY.COM - Rebranded Instinctive boards 13 Semesters, The Disposables
The Berlin-based international film production and finance company Instinctive Film - previously known as Invicta Entertainment - is boarding its first local German-language film, Frieder Wittich's coming-of-age student comedy 13 Semesters. The film begins shooting in Darmstadt next Monday (March 31).
Instinctive Film will co-produce the debut feature with Munich-based Claussen-Woebke+Putz Filmproduktion and broadcasters Hessischer Rundfunk and Arte with backing from Hessen Invest, FilmFernsehFonds Bayern and the German Federal Film Board (FFA).
Max Riemelt, Robert Gwisdek, and Alexander Fehling star in the story of two friends from an East German backwater coming to study Business Mathematics in Darmstadt and passing through the highs and lows of student life over the course of six-and-a-half years.
13 Semesters is the third film after Marco Kreuzpaintner's Krabat and Maggie Peren's Special Escort to come under the multi-picture distribution deal producer Claussen+Woebke-Putz Filmproduktion sealed with Twentieth Century Fox Germany in 2006.
In addition, Instinctive Film is in preproduction on writer-director Daniel Gillies' film The Disposables, starring the director, Rachel Leigh Cook and Seymour Cassel, which will start principal photography in Bogota and Los Angeles at the end of April, and is planning a June start for a psychological teenage angst thriller Piece By Piece, written by Adam Schaub and directed by Lee Donaldson, to be shot in and around Berlin and Potsdam.
The company is also set to be involved as a co-producer with Nehst Studios in a pilot film of an updated version of the 1960s The Saint TV series to be directed by Barry Levinson with James Purefoy to play the debonair international thief Simon Templar. The screenplay is being written by Jorge Zamacona and William J. Macdonald.
Roger Moore - who played the original Templar in the British series in the 1960s - and his son Geoffrey Moore are involved in the TV pilot which is being produced by Levinson and Tom Fontana.
Other projects in Instinctive Film's development slate include Bruce Beresford's period biopic Fever and the psychological drama Blanks.
Producer Darryn Welch's company was launched in Berlin at the beginning of this year to produce films in the $1m-$10m range for the international market.
