Doom and dread dominate Sitges lineup

'Melancholia''Contagion''Hell''Kill List''CTIN!'It's official: The end of the world takes place in Sitges, Spain. And it doesn't happen just once, but repeats itself in Steven Soderbergh's germophobe fantasy "Contagion," Lars von Trier's annihilation meller "Melancholia" and Tim Fehlbaum's debut "Hell," produced by Roland Emmerich."The Apocalypse is in fashion, but mixed up with regular zombies, aliens stuff," says Alberto Marini, writer and exec producer of Jaume Balaguero's "Sleep Tight," surveying the line-up for 44th Sitges Fantastic Film Festival of Catalonia, running Oct. 6-16.That's not the only trend at Europe's biggest fanboy fest. Classic doom is matched by contempo dread: fears of "radical conservatism, being kidnapped in your own home, or abducted by a fundamentalist sect," says fest director Angel Sala.The flipside, is that, "perhaps due to a weariness with the crisis, or contempo semi-apocalyptic scenarios, people relish humor, sometimes black humor. Audiences will laugh a lot this year at Sitges," he says, citing Andre Ovredal's "Trollhunter," Juan Martinez Moreno's "Lobos de arga" (Game of Werewolves), Alejandro Brugues' "Juan of the Dead" and Joe Cornish's "Attack the Block.""Dead," a Cuban zombie comedy -- there haven't been many of those -- racked up bullish sales off its Toronto world preem."Spectators want genre that mixes classic elements with ground-breaking stories and plot twists," says Vicente Canales, founder of Film Factory Entertainment.Marini agrees: "Innovative stories or artistic risk are the only response possible to big studios' productions. It's our unique selling point."Some trends hold over from recent years. Emilio Martinez, director of Spanish genre website aullidos.com, sees a rising wave of subjective terror pics in the wake of "Paranormal Activity" -- "Very low-cost products that swept the world," he says.Titles fitting the subjective terror billing include Carles Torrens' "Emergo," Colin Minihan and Stuart Ortiz's "Grave Encounters," Gonzalo Lopez Gallego's "Apollo 18" and Ovredal's "Trollhunter," distribbed by Universal in main European territories.Deputy Sitges fest director Mike Hostench notices a "drive to break rules in a far-reaching, intellectual way."Possible examples this time round at Sitges are Kim Ki-duk's Cannes' Un Certain Regard prize co-winner "Arirang," Panos Cosmatos' "Beyond the Black Rainbow" and Ricard Gras' "Vlogger."Meanwhile, A.I. is making a comeback. Fest commemorates the 10th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's "A.I. Artificial Intelligence" as Spielberg preps "Robopocalypse" and, on Spanish home turf, Gabe Ibanez readies "Automata."Sitges opens with Kike Maillo's robot meller "Eva," well-received at Venice, takes in S.

iHeartRadio Festival: Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, Coldplay Kick Off First Night

Friday night at the MGM Grand Arena was a glitch-free celebration of radio hits from performers who often find their names high up on the Billboard charts. Jay-Z closed the evening with a 45-minute set which featured a cameo from Alicia Keys for "Empire State of Mind," while every other act turned in 20 or so minutes of music at "the largest live concert event in radio history," a bit of incalculable hyperbole from the promoter Clear Channel. Breaks between acts were always about five minutes and filled with either videos of performers talking about radio's effect on their careers or else advertisements from State Farm (really?), Budweiser (that made sense) and others. Nearly every seat in the 12,000-capacity was arena was filled within an hour of the 7:30 p.m. start time; the crowd had thinned by about a third as Jay-Z was wrapping up. STORY: Jay-Z to Perform at Ryan Seacrest-Hosted iHeartRadio Music Festival The short sets meant performers had no time to ease their way in -- it was pedal to the metal from the get-go for each one, as only Coldplay and former American Idol champs Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood even offered a ballad. Each act, regardless of how multifaceted they may be in a concert of their own, was forced to show only one side of their personality, which meant fast and furious in every case. It worked best for Keys, who opted to embrace a soul matron persona, a mature R&B singer emphasizing themes of perseverance and dedication over party anthems of love ballads. Here's the breakdown of Iheartradio's first night, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, with Joe Jonas, DJ Elvus Duran and Underwood introducing acts. In order of appearance: Black Eyed Peas Set: "Boom Boom Pow," "Just Can't Get Enough," "Don't Stop the Party," "The Time (Dirty Bit)," "I Gotta Feeling."

Performance style: Robotic strutting STORY: Jennifer Lopez, Steven Tyler to Headline iHeartRadio Music Festival Kelly Clarkson Set: "Since U Been Gone," "Walk Away," "Because of You," "Mr. Know It All," "My Life Would Suck Without You" Shout outs: Coldplay and Jay-Z Visuals: A lot of bouncing Performance style: Full-throated anguish Bruno Mars Set: "Nothin' on You," "Grenade," "Just the Way You Are," Valerie" Shout outs: Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson, Amy Winehouse Visuals: Black and white suits + pompadour = soul singer Jackie Wilson fronting the '70s ska revivalists the Specials Performance style: Soul, circa 1961. Carrie Underwood Set: "Cowboy Casanova," "Undo It," "Say You Won't," "Last Name," "Before He Cheats" Shout outs: The entire bill Visuals: Neon for the opener; interacting with eight-member band. Performance style: Angry cowgirl with a love for Aerosmith riffs. STORY: iHeart Radio Music Fest Sells Out in Less Than Ten Minutes Karmin Set: "Super Bass" cover Visuals: Guy and gal seated behind an electric piano. Performance style: Ironic Vegas lounge act. Jane's Addiction Set: "Mountain Song," "Been Caught Stealing," "Irresistible Force," "Stop," "Jane Says" Shout outs: Las Vegas, 1988 Visuals: Two dancers with stripper moves; green lasers shooting into the deepest reaches of space Performance style: Prototypical metal-meets-punk. Coldplay Set: "Viva La Vida," "Clocks," "Rehab" into "Fix You," "Paradise," "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall" Shout outs: The club they played on their first visit to Las Vegas.

How R.E.M. Changed Movies

R.E.M.'s announcement on Wednesday that the band plans to "call it a day" prompted tearful recollections from fans about the Georgia group's indelible impact on the world of music over the past 31 years. (Cue "Everybody Hurts.") Less noted has been their impact on the world of movies. Besides appearing on dozens of soundtracks, the members of R.E.M. were instrumental in producing some of the most interesting and innovative movies of the last couple decades. That R.E.M. were big movie fans is no secret. Their lyrics were filled with references to classic films (including 'Casino,' 'Scarface' and 'Blade Runner') and actors. ("I'm Martin Sheen/I'm Steve McQueen/I'm Jimmy Dean," Michael Stipe sang on "Electrolite.") The 1986 album title 'Lifes Rich Pageant' came from a line uttered by Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau in 'A Shot in the Dark.' The song 'Departure' was an elegy for Stipe's friend River Phoenix. 'Me, Marlon Brando, Marlon Brando and I' imagined a meeting between the actor, Neil Young and Pocahontas. 'Monty Got a Raw Deal' paid homage to Montgomery Clift. And the video for 'Everybody Hurts' features a traffic jam inspired by the one at the beginning of Fellini's '8 1/2.' Most famously, the band revived interest in the late comedian Andy Kaufman with its 1992 song 'Man on the Moon.' The track helped inspire the acclaimed 1999 Kaufman biopic of the same name, for which R.E.M.'s Mike Mills and Peter Buck composed the score. (The movie's female lead was Stipe pal Courtney Love.) The band's contributions to the soundtrack included the title track, "The Great Beyond," and "This Friendly World," in which Stipe duets with Jim Carrey in character as Kaufman. 'Man on the Moon' - Trailer Stipe parlayed his musical fame into a couple of minor acting roles in TV and movies, including a supporting part as a railroad worker in Christopher Munch's gorgeous, overlooked black-and-white indie drama 'Color of a Brisk and Leaping Day' (1997). From there, he moved into producing movies, founding the production companies C-Hundred (for short films, videos, public service announcements, and micro-budgeted features) and Single Cell (for more mainstream movies). The former company, founded with filmmaker and occasional R.E.M. video director Jim McKay, released such Sundance favorites as 'Our Song' (a high school drama directed by McKay and starring Kerry Washington) and Tom Gilroy's character study 'Spring Forward' (a two-hander starring Liev Schreiber and Ned Beatty). Single Cell was behind such films as 'Velvet Goldmine' (Todd Haynes' imaginative fantasy about '70s rock), 'American Movie' (a documentary about an amateur horror film director), Mary Harron's celebrated 'American Psycho,' Jill Sprecher's '13 Conversations About One Thing,' and most memorably, 'Being John Malkovich.' Spike Jonze, who made his feature directing debut on 'Malkovich,' is one of several music video directors who got a career boost into features thanks in part to R.E.M. Another is Peter Care, whose work on several R.E.M. videos (including "Drive," "Man on the Moon" and "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?") and on the band's 1996 concert feature 'RoadMovie' led to his feature directing debut, 2002's 'The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys,' starring Jodie Foster. And of course, there's Tarsem Singh, whose colorful and symbol-laden video for 'Losing My Religion' (which earned the Best Video prize at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards) led to his career directing such visually overstuffed films as 'The Cell' (2000) and this fall's Greek mythological epic 'Immortals.' Throughout R.E.M.'s history, the band's music was a favorite on movie soundtracks, going back as far as 1983's sci-fi film 'Strange Invaders,' released the same year as R.E.M.'s first album. Their songs popped up in several Michael Moore documentaries. 'Shiny Happy People' (for moments of joy, sometimes facetious) and 'Everybody Hurts' (denoting epic heartbreak or consolation) appeared so often in movies and TV shows that they became clichés. So did "It's the End of the World as We Know It and I Feel Fine,' often used to lend an ironic jauntiness to scenes hinting at apocalyptic doom (most memorably, during the opening moments of 'Independence Day'). Why did R.E.M.'s music go so well with movies? First, their cryptic lyrics, so widely open to interpretation, can be used to accompany a broad spectrum of scenarios. Second, the music itself (especially with the turn toward a grander, more sweeping sonic palette on 'Lifes Rich Pageant' and the records that followed) lent itself to the swelling emotions of cinema. Finally, their songs literally were the soundtrack to life for many moviegoers who grew up in the '80s and '90s. Listening to R.E.M. can evoke both nostalgia for one's teenage years and the swelling in one's heart of dreams and desires still unfulfilled. Which is why I will leave you with this scene from 'Never Been Kissed,' in which former teen misfit Drew Barrymore gets a second chance to attend the prom with a cute guy, with her elation scored to R.E.M.'s 'At My Most Beautiful.'

'Captain America' Foreign Grosses Top U.S. Revenues

Before Marvel and Paramount released 'Captain America: First Avenger' around the world over the summer, there was some debate about whether the property would translate for foreign audiences. After all, good ol' Cap is a pretty jingoistic superhero and "America" -- a brand that has flagged in the last decade, as you might have noticed -- features prominently in the title. As it turns out, though, none of that mattered to 'First Avenger's' bottom line -- especially not with the third dimension involved. THR reports that 'Captain America: First Avenger' actually earned more in foreign territories than it did during its U.S. theatrical run; the Joe Johnston-directed film grossed $178 million internationally, against $173.5 million in domestic returns. 'Captain America's' 3-D up-charge on tickets helped its returns abroad, as did brand recognition. Those factors were really advantageous in Latin America, where the film earned $57 million. By comparison, 'Thor' grabbed $54 million in Latin America, but still won the international crown from 'Captain America' with $267 million in foreign ticket sales. All of which is to say: Marvel better invest in a fleet of Brink's trucks before 'The Avengers' comes out next summer. [via THR] Photo: Paramount

DreamWorks Animation preps Shanghai facility

DreamWorks Animation is creating intends to open a facility in Shanghai which will enable it to create characters produced for china market. The organization is presently thinking about candidates to fill various posts in the venture, including those of leader, tapping La-based recruitment firm RSR Partners to handle headhunting responsibilities. Word leaked of DWA's plans when prospective employs received the letter from RSR revealing the studio's intends to "begin a production and development presence in China." "Because it is an essential marketplace for us and something where the DreamWorks Animation logo and items have tremendous value, we still explore possibilities in China," stated a DreamWorks Animation representative. "Any more forthcoming nexus s premature." Recently, DreamWorks inked an offer with Youku.com, a Chinese YouTube of videos to distrib its films, beginning using the "Kung Fu Panda" photos. Creating a bigger relocate China will make sense for DWA, thinking about the way the "Kung Fu Panda" franchise was created to attract that market. First film was the very first animated release to earn a lot more than 100 million yuan ($15 million) in the local box office there. This summer's follow up also carried out strongly there, breaking B.O. records. "Kung Fu Panda 2," which Componen distribbed for DWA domestic and worldwide, established a brand new opening day mark for any foreign release in China only a week after Disney's "Pirates from the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" set the record. "Panda" pic required in $18.5 million over its two-day weekend in May. The film has gained $92 million in China since that time. Altogether, it's collected $492 million from foreign areas and $657 million overall. In either case, a name in China would enable DWA to take advantage of the growing B.O., which rose an astonishing 64% this past year, generating $1.5 billion. But given the way the Chinese government limits the number of foreign films can unspool in China, DWA will still need to make use of a local company to produce the brand new studio and bypass the limitations the way in which Legendary lately released Legendary East to make a slate of live action photos in the area.

However they felt it might be best to continue, yet inside a subdued manner."We made the decision we'd continue the festival, but continue in an exceedingly different type of way," stated festival director Piers Handling. "We rolled away the red-colored carpets, canceled the parties, canceled the sponsor bulletins.

Fox ready to break out in all genres

Fox heads into the fall season with every chance of having TV's top freshman drama, comedy and reality show in the 18-49 demo.Of course, whether viewers will follow that playbook remains to be seen, but for the network that brings back perennial powerhouse "American Idol" in January, the autumn potential of "Terra Nova," "New Girl" and "The X Factor" is thrilling."One thing that I am very genuinely enthused about is that our shows are really the headlines this year," Fox entertainment prexy Kevin Reilly says. "I feel like we're sitting on a hot hand."Each show comes with questions. Is "Terra Nova" a smallscreen "Jurassic Park" or a big-budget boondoggle? Will Zooey Deschanel bring more than a cult following to "New Girl?" Is Fox brass correct in believing that "X Factor" is similar yet different from "Idol" in all the right places to succeed?But the risk-reward of each scenario tilts enough in Fox's favor for Reilly to be optimistic. "Terra Nova" should draw much more on Mondays than last year's critically admired but quickly canceled "Lone Star." "New Girl," sandwiched between "Glee" and "Raising Hope" on Tuesdays, no doubt will make "Running Wilde" a more distant memory. "X Factor" sets both Wednesdays and Thursdays up for gains, while "Kitchen Nightmares" and "Fringe" on Fridays offers more stability than, say, "The Good Guys."And speaking of stability, there's the Sunday animation block, which features four returning halfhours to buoy newcomer "Allen Gregory.""In this job, you kind of play what you got, and this year feels like a really potent crop," Reilly says. "I do think that Fox is going to have success in every genre and the potential for breakout success in those genres. I look at the course of our season, and I've looked at all the other competitive product and I really like the way we're positioned."SPOTLIGHT"Terra Nova"You could be excused for thinking it should be called "Terra Olda." Covering the ground of this series might seem like anything but new news, given that the buzz first began in 2009 and that it was ordered to series (skipping the pilot stage) before the 2010-11 TV season. That planned sneak preview last May? Yeah, well. . .But now with a firm premiere date of Sept. 26, the future-to-the-back drama -- with Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin, Katherine Pope, Brannon Braga and director Alex Graves among its 12 exec producers -- will end all the speculation and mystery about its creative, special-effects and ratings bonafides. With a bang, Reilly believes."Whether that show will work or not, that show is just not going to come on quietly," Reilly says. "That show is going to make a lot of noise. It's going to get sampled, and it's going to be really different than anything else on the air."NEW FOR 2011-12"Allen Gregory"One of two new halfhours on Fox about uppity kids, "Allen Gregory" revs up its tale of a precocious-by-half 7-year-old who for the first time is compelled to spend time with peers his own age. The demo cred of series co-creator and lead voice Jonah Hill and the longrunning success of Fox's animation block should bring some curious viewers. "I Hate My Teenage Daughter"Here's the other one, an acerbic comedy with Aisha Dee and Kristi Lauren as the out-of-control kin to series leads Katie Finnernan and Jaime Pressly, the latter in her first regular role since "My Name Is Earl." With a premiere date delayed until a post-Thanksgiving Nov. 30, "Daughter" will launch after families gathered for the holiday and the traditional dinner-table debate of which fall premieres were worth watching. "New Girl"If it wasn't atop every single critics list for freshman fall comedy, "New Girl" was still favored by enough to offer hope that it will have strength beyond its casting coup of Deschanel as loveable-but-leavable Jess. The writing was sharp and chemistry clear between Deschanel and co-stars Max Greenfield, Jake Johnson and Hannah Simone, with Lamorne Morris sliding in to replace Damon Wayans Jr. "The X Factor" Contact Jon Weisman at jon.weisman@variety.com
