‘Faults’ to Debut at the 2015 Film Comment Selects Festival

The Film Society of LINCOLN Center announced its lineup for the 15th edition of Film Comment magazine’s essential, eclectic festival, taking place February 20 – March 5, 2015. Among those films selected to play is Riley Stearns and Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s new film Faults.

Film Comment Selects series tickets will go on sale Tuesday, February 10. A pre-sale to Film Society members will begin Friday, February 6. Below is the film’s description and time/date it will debut at the fest.

Faults
Riley Stearns, USA, 2014, DCP, 89m
Ansel Roth is at the end of his rope. Once a prominent authority on mind control and cult organizations, he’s now broke and alone, resorted to doing lame, sparsely attended seminars and book signings at crappy hotels. On the edge of suicide he is approached with a new assignment: to help “save” a distraught couple’s 28-year-old daughter Claire from the mysterious titular religious cult. He reluctantly accepts, and as the five-day deprogramming mission is carried out, events become increasingly messy and bizarre, with Ansel’s outside troubles also paying an inopportune visit. This contained film-mostly taking place within the walls of a motel room-is guided by the dynamite lead performances of Leland Orser as Ansel and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Claire, and a strikingly clever script (written by first-time feature director Riley Stearns) that is as funny and dark as it is surprising. A Screen Media Films release.

Monday, February 23, 8:30pm

Congrats, Mary and Riley!

Kill the Messenger Blu Ray Features Announced

After it was revealed via Amazon that Kill the Messenger was available for pre-order in February, Blu-Ray.com has unveiled that the date it will hit shelves is February 10th, 2015 in Blu-ray/DVD/Digital HD format.

The Blu-ray release of Kill the Messenger is presented in 1080p with DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround. Special features include:

  • Feature Commentary with Director Michael Cuesta
  • Deleted Scenes with Optional Commentary by Cuesta
  • Kill the Messenger: The All-Star Cast
  • Crack in America
  • Filming in Georgia

Jeremy Renner leads an all-star cast in a dramatic thriller based on the remarkable true story of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb. Webb stumbles onto a story which leads to the shady origins of the men who started the crack epidemic on the nation’s streets. He further alleges that the CIA was aware of major dealers who were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm rebels fighting in Nicaragua. Despite warnings from drug kingpins and CIA operatives to stop his investigation, Webb keeps digging to uncover a conspiracy with explosive implications. His journey takes him from the prisons of California to the villages of Nicaragua to the highest corridors of power in Washington, D.C. and draws the kind of attention that threatens not just his career, but his family and his life.

Kill the Messenger Available for Pre-Order

Amazon has listed Kill the Messenger for pre-order for DVD and Blu-Ray. According to DVDReleaseDates, the film is scheduled to hit shelves in February of 2015, but it has not yet been confirmed.

Kill the Messenger stars two-time Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner, who leads an all-star cast in a dramatic thriller based on the remarkable true story of Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Gary Webb. Webb stumbles onto a story which leads to the shady origins of the men who started the crack epidemic on the nation’s streets…and further alleges that the CIA was aware of major dealers who were smuggling cocaine into the U.S., and using the profits to arm rebels fighting in Nicaragua. Despite warnings from drug kingpins and CIA operatives to stop his investigation, Webb keeps digging to uncover a conspiracy with explosive implications. His journey takes him from the prisons of California to the villages of Nicaragua to the highest corridors of power in Washington, D.C. – and draws the kind of attention that threatens not just his career, but his family and his life.

KTM hit theaters in limited release last month.

The film also stars Mary, Rosemary Dewitt, Barry Pepper, Ray Liotta and Tim Blake Nelson. Be sure to visit Amazon to pre-order your copy!
