Posted: March 27th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
Today we have the trailer for the Uruguayan horror movie "La Casa Muda (The Silent House)," which was filmed in one single continuous 78-minute shot. Check it out below.
Plot: The story focuses on Laura, who, second by second, intends to leave a house which hides an obscure secret. Laura and her father, Wilson, settle down in a cottage they have to renew since its owner will soon put the house up for sale. They intend to spend the night there and make the repairs the following morning. Everything seems to go smoothly until Laura hears a sound from outside that gets louder and louder on the upper floor of the house. Wilson goes up to see what is going on while she remains downstairs on her own, waiting for her father to come down.
"The Silent House" has played at several film festivals and is now ready to be released in the UK on April 8th. And an American remake has already been made. It recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival with Elizabeth Olsen (sister the Olsen twins) in the lead.

by Matt Goldberg Posted:March 26th, 2011
Universal has released 7 clips for their upcoming hard-R comedy Your Highness. The film stars Danny McBride as a lazy prince who is forced to go on a quest with his brother (James Franco) to rescue his brother’s fiancée (Zooey Deschanel) from an evil wizard (Justin Theroux). I haven’t seen the film yet but I’ve heard it’s hilarious and that folks are amazed with what director David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) and writers McBride and Ben Best (Eastbound & Down) got away with.
Hit the jump to check out the clips. The film also stars Natalie Portman, Rasmus Hardiker, Toby Jones, Charles Dance, and Damian Lewis. Your Highness opens April 8th.

Patrick Wilson Provides An Update On Brett Rickaby's The Book Of Matthew
published: 2011-03-26 16:34:26 Author: Perri Nemiroff
After having seen Patrick Wilson in Joel Schumacher’s The Phantom of the Opera, it makes sense for him to have done some musical work, but Brett Rickaby? You might know Rickaby from last year’s The Crazies and, if you’re bold enough, you’ve already caught him in his latest creeper, Bereavement. Well, playing super scary isn’t the only thing this guy’s good at. With years of experience under his belt, Rickaby is ready to take a stab at writing, directing and producing. (No pun intended.)
Rickaby’s busy working on a film based on a true personal story-- and a musical-- called The Book of Matthew. Yes, the film has an IMDb page, but it’s got rumor written all over it – literally. Amongst the list of rumored stars is Wilson, so, of course, while chatting with Wilson about his upcoming film, Insidious, I had to ask about the status of The Book of Matthew.
Wilson was thrilled to recall his time on the road with Rickaby while working on a traveling musical 15 years back, but when it came to The Book of Matthew, unfortunately all Wilson could say in terms of a production update is that it’s just “so hard to get independent movies made.” On the bright side, Wilson was able to flesh out the film’s plot quite a bit. The movie comes from a play Rickaby penned which was “his own story of getting caught up in a religious sect when he was in college and him trying to get out.” Sounds like this could really be something fresh and interesting, so hopefully Rickaby will find the resources he needs to turn this one into a reality.
Hear more about The Book of Matthew in the clip below and be sure to keep an eye out for our full interview with Wilson on Insidious next week.

Cobie Smulders Talks S.H.I.E.L.D Agent Maria Hill in the Avengers
Cobie Smulders will don a catsuit for The AvengersIn February, How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders was confirmed for the role of S.H.E.I.L.D. Agent Maria Hill in The Avengers. She will be playing sidekick to Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury.
Today, she has finally come forward to speak a bit about the role, revealing that she will begin shooting soon, and that she will be wearing a catsuit in the upcoming Joss Whedon directed superhero ensemble.
"We start in April, which is like... tomorrow. I literally leave here and I go to Albuquerque, New Mexico, to shoot some scenes in a catsuit. I've tried on portions of the catsuit [and] I've seen conceptual drawings of what they want it to be. It's fascinating to me. I feel like wardrobe becomes very creative on these types of movies because they literally spend weeks designing just the pants or the emblem. It's such an all-consuming process, so I'm excited to see how it all turns out."
The Avengers comes to theaters May 4th, 2012 and stars Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle, Clark Gregg, Tom Hiddleston. The film is directed by Joss Whedon.
