This… This is how you take a genre or story device and make it feel fresh! Let’s be honest the old re-living the same day over and over till it has a satisfying conclusion is a trope we have seen many many times. Groundhog Day and more recently Happy Death Day are a couple that spring to mind, so when I read the synopsis for Boss Level I did kind of shake my head. However, like I have said so many times, if someone I like is in the movie or it’s a director I’m into then your damn right I’m going to give it a fair shake!

Here we have Frank Grillo (Beyond Skyline), Mel Gibson (Fatman) and...

The fantasy trope of Time Loops is all the rage again. Obviously, we all know Groundhog Day, which did it perfectly. Last year brought Palm Springs, which also did it terrifically well. Just a few weeks ago, The Map of Tiny Perfect Things also found a way to make the premise charming. Now, we have Boss Level, which decides to go in a whole other direction. Instead of being a comedy or a romantic comedy, it goes as far away from rom-com as possible. Instead, we have a violent action film, with admittedly comedic undertones. The result is something that stands out, that’s for sure. The movie is a mix of action and science fiction, with a little comedy thrown in for good measure. As we learn early on, former Special Forces agent Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo) is trapped in a time loop that will constantly repeat the day of his murder.

Even though it’s moving at a slower pace than many would like, the vaccine rollout is starting to gain some traction and in turn, moviegoers are going to start setting foot in theaters — safely of course. That said, the specialty box office space might be hearing some more coin drop into its piggy bank in the forthcoming months. It’s been quite a journey, but we’ll get there slowly yet surely.

Eddie Huang, who is best known for writing the best-selling Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir which was the inspiration for the popular ABC sitcom, makes his feature directorial debut with Boogie which Focus Features releases in theaters today.

The story follows Alfred Chin (Taylor Takahashi) who goes by the name “Boogie”. He is a basketball phenom living in Queens, New York and dreams of one day playing in the NBA. However, his parents have other plans for him.

Add another entry to the time loop directory with Joe Carnahan’s Boss Level arriving as this month’s installment of what feels like a regular ritual these days. It’s not socially relevant like The Obituary of Tunde Johnson, emotionally poignant like Before I Fall, genre-bending like Happy Death Day, or irreverently subversive like Palm Springs, but it is entertaining. This is especially true for fans (like me) of the director’s Smokin’ Aces since that’s the title this latest work most closely resembles whether by way of its frenetic pacing, eccentric criminals, or blunt yet quick-witted humor. With sardonic narration dripping with the frustration that comes from constantly waking up to deadly assassins ensuring death arrives before 1:00pm each day, it never tries to be something it’s not.

That narrator is Roy Pulver (Frank Grillo)—a former covert military operative who finds himself growing bored...

We have the first trailer for Boss Level. The new action/thriller was originally destined for a theatrical release but, instead, it will debut on Hulu in the U.S. The movie stars Frank Grillo, who reunited with his frequent collaborator, writer/director Joe Carnahan. This time around, Grillo finds himself trapped in a deadly time loop. It brings a new spin on the increasingly-popular plot device of having someone live out the same day over and over again. Other recent examples include Edge of Tomorrow, Happy Death Day and Palm Springs.

The trailer opens with Frank Grillo's character Roy walking into a diner and having way too much to drink before promptly being murdered. We come to learn that this has happened 140 some odd times, with a mysterious villain played by Mel Gibson pulling the strings. Roy is forced to relive his brutal death time and time again, with no way of stopping it.

Hulu has cut a deal for the rights to Boss Level. The new sci-fi movie, which stars Mel Gibson and Frank Grillo, was originally destined for theaters. But like many other movies before it this year, that became unrealistic. Instead, it will have a streaming debut in 2021, bringing the latest from director Joe Carnahan to Hulu subscribers from the comfort of their homes.

According to a new report, Hulu paid somewhere in the low eight-figure range for the U.S. rights to Boss Level, though the precise price tag was not revealed. The movie is said to carry a $45 million budget. Interestingly, the deal is just for the U.S. rights. It's said that theatrical rights have been sold internationally, which means box office dollars are still on the table from overseas. But domestic moviegoers will need to be content with watching this one at home.

Exclusive: Hulu has struck an eight-figure deal for U.S. distribution rights to the Joe Carnahan-directed action sci-fi movie Boss Level starring Frank Grillo, Naomi Watts, Mel Gibson, Will Sasso, Ken Jeong, Annabelle Wallis, Michelle Yeoh and Selina Lo.

The completed film will debut as a Hulu Original in 2021 after the streamer finalized a deal in the low-eight-figure range, we understand.

Captain America and The Grey star Grillo leads cast as former special forces agent Roy Pulver, who is trapped in a time loop that constantly repeats the day of his murder. Pulver manages to uncover clues about a secret government project that could unlock the mystery behind his death but must find Colonel Ventor (Gibson), the head of the government program, while outrunning assassins determined to keep him from the truth, and save his wife (Watts).

Script comes from Carnahan, Chris Borey and Eddie Borey. Producers are WarParty Films; Emmett/Furla Films; Scott Free Entertainment (Ridley Scott); and The Fyzz Facility Pictures. CAA Media Finance brokered the deal with Hulu on behalf of the filmmakers.

It has been an interesting journey so far for the $45-budgeted film, which has been completed since early this year. The movie was initially sold to Byron Allen’s Entertainment Studios in early 2018 but that deal wasn’t ultimately realized. There was a special screening for the film at the Arclight Cinemas in Los Angeles in February, attended by the likes of Walking Dead co-creator Robert Kirkman, and Highland has sold the movie well overseas with those markets awaiting the U.S. release.

Hulu’s roster of original films include splashy Sundance acquisition Palm Springs, Bad Hair, Run and Happiest Season.

On paper Open Grave sounded like yet another “homage” to the likes of Buried. After all its the tale of a man who wakes up on the titular open grave – that alone was enough to spark comparisons for me. How wrong could I have been…

Directed by Gonzalo López-Gallego (Apollo 18), Open Grave stars Sharlto Copley (District 9, The A-Team) as a man who wakes up in a pit full of corpses with no memory. He’s rescued by a mute Chinese woman who leads him back to a house where there are four other people who have all “awoke” with the same loss of memory and total lack of idea who they are and why they are there.

Starring District 9‘s Sharlto Copley, Open Grave is being released by Tribeca Film on VOD this week, with a digital and limited theatrical release to follow in the coming weeks. If you’d like more information, we have the official trailer, synopsis, and theater list:

“A man (Sharlto Copley, District 9, Elysium) wakes up in a pit of dead bodies with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Fleeing the scene, he breaks into a nearby house and is met at gunpoint by a group of terrified strangers, all suffering from memory loss. Suspicion gives way to violence as the group starts to piece together clues about their identities, but when they uncover a threat that’s more vicious — and hungry — than each other, they are forced to figure out what brought them all together — before it’s too late.”

Director: Gonzalo López-Gallego. Writers: Chris Borey and Eddie Borey. Cast: Sharlto Copley, Joseph Morgan, Thomas Kretschmann, Erin Richards and Josie Ho. Open Grave is a Hungarian shot horror feature, from director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego. Lopez-Gallego is notoriously known for his work on the abysmal found footage film Apollo 18. Lopez-Gallego's work and shooting on Open Grave is much better. However, the story for this feature, which is more mystery than horror, does not unpack some of its major plotpoints very well. Therefore, the ending is a little drawn out and unsatisfying. Writers and brothers Chris and Eddie Borey needed a little more tension and action in their script. Still, Open Grave creates some compelling intrigue through the first two acts. It would be a waste and disservice to readers to reveal the film's story, in its entirety. So, the story for Open Grave will be discussed in general terms. Basically, six...

What would you do if you awoke amongst a group of horribly mutilated corpses in an open grave? We mean, besides the obvious gibbering in pure terror.

And will any of them survive?Featuring Thomas Kretschmann, Joseph Morgan, Erin Richard, Josie Ho and Max Wrottesley, Open Grave is from director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego and writing duo Eddie and Chris Borey.

After a breakthrough performance in District 9 and taking strong supporting roles in films like The A-Team and Elysium (plus a promising villainous turn in Oldboy), Sharlto Copley is back in the lead with Open Grave. The first trailer for the thriller from Gonzalo López-Gallego has arrived, showing off the story of a man who wakes up in a pit of rotting corpses with no idea how he got there. He begins having flashbacks of himself murdering people and starts to think that he might be responsible for the pile of bodies surrounding him. This looks intense, and we're hoping the January release date isn't a bad sign. Watch it!

Actor Sharlto Copley has been confirmed to play the villain in director Spike Lee's Oldboy remake. He has also finalized a deal to star in Open Grave for director Gonzalo L&#243pez-Gallego (Apollo 18).

We reported last month that the District 9 star was in early talks to play the Oldboy villain, Adrian Pryce. Now his deal is officially sealed to play the billionaire, who releases Joe Douchett (Josh Brolin) after keeping him in captivity for several years. Elizabeth Olsen also stars as a case worker who helps Joe figure out his past.
