Just a quick post to let you all know that the official website for Smashed is now live. If you live in the New York or Los Angeles area, you can find your theater showtimes by clicking ‘showtimes’ on the film’s site. If the film does really well at the box office, the movie will then play in other cities and countries.

StudioADI has uploaded a new behind the scenes video when they were working on The Thing and in it, they show what happens in the alternate ending to the film, which depicts an alien pilot to the discovered spacecraft. If you still haven’t seen the film, do not keep reading, spoilers ahead obviously. But anyway, according to the description, here’s how the alt. ending would’ve gone down:
The scripted ending to The Thing (2011) featured Kate inside the spacecraft, discovering the mummified remains of the pilot who first brought the craft to Earth, unleashing the Thing. A second pilot, still alive, attacks just as it mutates into a Thing version of itself. Shot but ultimately discarded in favor of a different direction, it gave us a great opportunity to design and build a unique alien life form and then push it into Thing territory when it changes. A full size animatronic/rod puppet provided physical elements on stage with a planned CG counterpart to flesh out the action. Watch The Thing Tom Woodruff Jr On Fire to see fire elements that were shot for what would have been the death of the CG pilot! All that burnin’ and nothing to do with it…
So bummed we couldn’t see this alternate version in the film, much less any of the amazing other practical effects they’d done at the time.

Well, here it is. Episode 6 of The Beauty Inside. Loved the special guest star–won’t spoil who it is if you’ve yet to see it!–but I wish there was more! Haha. Overall, I totally loved this series! Fantastic job by Mary, Topher Grace, Matthew Gray Gubler, director Drake Doremus, and everyone who was involved with the film. (Yes, even the people who auditioned!) Check out the final ep. below.

With TIFF officially over, Canada.com has picked its top picks from the festival, and SMASHED is among the list. Here’s what they had to say:
Too often, films about addiction veer into heavy melodrama or turn into sensational shockfests. Here’s a look at alcoholism that’s grounded by a moving naturalism, even as its flawed heroine spirals through after-work benders that go from hilarious to sad to frightening. Mary Elizabeth Winstead delivers a career-making performance as a young schoolteacher who realizes she’s lost control of her drinking. The stellar supporting cast includes “Breaking Bad”‘s Aaron Paul as her enabling husband, “Parks and Recreation”‘s Nick Offerman as her sympathetic co-worker and Oscar-winner Octavia Spencer as her AA sponsor.
Also, Lionsgate and Miramax have announced the Tarantino XX: 8-Film Collection, coming to Blu-ray on November 20th. On the Death Proof disc, we’ll see an uncut version of Mary singing “Baby It’s You”. Here’s the details:
DEATH PROOF
Kurt Russell stars as a tough-talking, psychotic serial murderer who transforms his stunt car into an indestructible killing machine, then climbs behind the wheel to stalk and terrorize a group of women on the road.
