'Exit Through the Gift Shop' Prize Pack Giveaway

Exit Through the Gift Shop Poster'Exit Through the Gift Shop,' now available on iTunes and VOD, follows an eccentric shopkeeper turned amateur filmmaker as he attempts to capture many of the world's most infamous vandals on camera, only to have a British stencil artist named Banksy turn the camcorder back on its owner with wildly unexpected results. The film, which offers a raw inside look at street art, is a brutal and revealing account of what happens when fame, money and vandalism collide.

One of the most provocative films about art ever made, 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' is a fascinating study of low-level criminality, comradeship and incompetence. By turns shocking, hilarious and absurd, this is an enthralling modern-day fairytale... with bolt cutters.

Jean-Claude Van Damme Says Heart Attack Rumors are False

UPDATE: Jean-Claude Van Damme has addressed reports that he suffered a heart attack on the set of his new movie 'Weapon,' writing the following on his Facebook page: "Hours ago, I read a rumor online about me suffering a heart attack. Please do not believe all what you read from rumors on any unofficial JCVD sites. Jean-Claude Van Damme is 100 percent healthy, training well for taking the fight and sending his fans and friends much love." Another report comes directly from his website: "JCVD is in better shape than ever and preparing for his fight in July. He did not suffer from a heart attack on the set of Weapon as reported on some websites!"

Is he lying and trying not to look weak, or was the original report, from our friends over at the pretty trustworthy Twitch, not entirely accurate and/or from a bad source? We're curious to see how this one unfolds in the coming days. See our original report below ...

UPDATE 2: Todd from Twitch has told us that his sources are good, and that the above quotes are coming from fan-run pages, and not from Jean-Claude Van Damme himself.

--------------

Yesterday, the iconic Muscles from Brussels -- Jean-Claude Van Damme -- celebrated his 50th birthday. Just one day later, reports have surfaced that the action star has suffered a heart attack while filming his latest action fest, 'Weapon.'

Twitch reports that the Ernie Barbarash film was shooting in Romania before heading to New Orleans for three days of filming, but the production was quickly put on hold due to "complications." The complication was that Van Damme suffered a minor heart attack before shooting his scenes. Everything halted, while his wife, Gladys Portugues, quickly joined him and, thankfully, it looks like the '80s action star will make a full recovery.

Jason Reitman's 'Young Adult' Set Photos (Exclusive)

We were lucky enough to stumble across the now-in-production 'Young Adult' earlier today, which is currently filming scenes in Massapequa Park, NY. The production has taken over the small Long Island town for at least the rest of the week, with residents crowding the streets in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the film's star Charlize Theron. With 'Young Adult', director Jason Reitman reunites with his 'Juno' screenwriter Diablo Cody on a story about a young adult novelist (Theron) who returns to her hometown in the hopes of re-connecting with an old flame (Patrick Wilson).

Though the film is being shot on Long Island, the setting is a small town in Minnesota. Aside from a Minnesota Wild-themed bar window and a few scattered license plates, there's not a whole lot of Minnesota oozing out of the stuff we've seen so far. In the scene we watched them shoot, Theron's character was sitting on a park bench with her sleek laptop open and little frenetic dog hopping around in the background. Suddenly, she gets a call on her blackberry and stops everything. Who is it and what do they want? We'll have to wait awhile to get those answers; 'Young Adult' won't arrive in theaters until late next year.

Check out our exclusive 'Young Adult' set photos in the gallery below.

'Scream 4' Trailer Arrives Online: This One Packs a Much Bigger Punch

By Cinematical Staff (Subscribe to Cinematical Staff's posts), Posted Oct 19th 2010 11:55AM

Sidney Prescott, Ghostface, a ringing telephone ... it's like a time warp back to 1996. The trailer for Dimensions Film's 'Scream 4' made its debut at the Spike TV Scream Awards, but now a much longer version (in much better quality) has officially arrived online and we've posted it after the jump.

Unlike the leaked teaser we posted yesterday, there's quite a bit of carnage here to whet your appetite. The new cast is the main focus, and aside from Rory Culkin -- who looks to be channeling Jamie Kennedy's film-obsessed geek from the original trilogy -- it's sort of hard to tell who's who. All the girls look young, pretty and clueless, but we guess that's the point. A few old faithfuls have returned (like Sidney Prescott, Sheriff Dewey Riley and Gale Weathers, who definitely appears to be our first confirmed victim based on this trailer), and the series looks to pick up where it left off in terms of deconstructing the horror genre -- focusing on newer rules like how a killer films his crimes, and that, unlike last time, the virgin is allowed to die.

Emily Blunt and Rachel Weisz Improvise Their Way Through Next Movie

Emily Blunt and Rachel Weisz have both made great gains in having versatile acting careers filled with varied characters. And for their next project, the British-born actresses are teaming up to take on a new challenge: improvising.

Deadline reports that Blunt and Weisz have signed on for Lynn Shelton's next project, a still-untitled film that will be semi-improvised. Shelton became a break-through talent with 2009's 'Humpday,' a Sundance comedy about two old friends who decide to make an amateur gay porn together on a dare. That film was shot in a two-week span and featured entirely improvised dialogue.

No details have been revealed about this upcoming film's story or the leading ladies' characters, but this is the biggest casting deal in Shelton's career, so far.
