“It’s a part of me,” says Ryan Coogler of the Sundance Film Festival, a decade after his Fruitvale Station debuted in Park City and took home both the Audience Award and the Grand Jury prize. “So much of it impacted me and made me the filmmaker that I am today,” the Black Panther director adds. “Without question, and in ways I couldn’t have anticipated.” An alumnus of the 2012 Sundance Institute Labs, Coogler is back this year at the Robert Redford founded festival in a duel role. The Bay Area-based filmmaker is a producer on the Peter Nicks helmed Stephen Curry: Underrated documentary, which premieres on January 23 at the Eccles Theatre.

Let’s put our cards on the table: Almost three years after Peacock launched, the Comcast-owned streamer finally has a legitimate potential breakout show in Natasha Lyonne and Rian Johnson ’s Poker Face . Debuting with four episodes Friday and then dropping the rest of its 10-episode first season weekly, the one-hour drama could prove the dramatic reset the sports-focused Peacock has needed since day one.

True to the talent on both sides of the camera, Poker Face’ s winning hand has a lot to do with how well-crafted and constructed it is. However, besides a beat-up Plymouth Barracuda, Rockford Files trailer home homages and all, the wider appeal of Poker Face is that it is a confident show for grown-ups that younger viewers who never … [Read more...] about ‘Poker Face’ Review: No Lie!

Shudder and IFC Midnight are launching microbudget Skinamarink on a not-so-micro 629 screens, giving the viral horror pic a major push after a well-received premiere back at Fantasia-fest that just kept snowballing with strong reviews and social media love. “I was over the moon. For a horror filmmaker in Canada, [Fantasia] is like getting a Cannes screening,” says first-time filmmaker Kyle Edward Ball about the leadup to this weekend’s buzzy specialty opening. He shot the $15k feature at his parents’ home in Edmonton, Canada. In it, two children wake up in the middle of the night to find their father is missing and all the windows and doors in their home have vanished. “I’d had a nightmare when I was little. I was in my parents’ house, my parents were missing, and there was a monster. And lots of people have shared this exact same dream,” Ball tells Deadline. He should know. After film school and a stint selling video equipment, he launched a YouTube channel called Bitesized … [Read more...] about Microbudget Horror ‘Skinamarink’ Creeps Onto 600+ Screens – Specialty Preview
