Greil Marcus Interview
Directed by Kyle Harbaugh.
From 11:11; out now via Rhymesayers.
Now that Tony Jaa’s stopped being crazy, it’s time for the most bad-ass looking movie ever. Too bad the Weinstein Co. will probably bury its North American release.
A young man in the Ayutthaya period grows up among villagers who preserve the legacy of the traditional khon masked dance. He becomes an outcast when he finds that his firm limbs weren’t made to pursue the specialty of his ancestors, but with the advice of a mysterious guru he’s able to develop a new style of fighting which mixes the strength of martial arts with the regal elegance of khon dance. Then he’s ready to go out and fight the enemy.

Directed by John Kingman.
From Heiruspecs; due out December 13.
Belgian director Koen Mortier just purchased adaptation rights to Chuck Palahniuk’s Haunted, and the only film that’s mentioned with his name is last year’s Ex Drummer, which has yet to be released in America. So in case you care but are too lazy to do your own research -
Three disabled guys ask a celebrity to join their rock band. Missing a physical disability, the celebrity’s handicap is that he cannot play the drums. Together, their aim is to play at, and win a local rock festival.
Oh, how edgy!
