Los Angeles’ Skid Row is rarely a place filmmakers go looking for inspirational stories. It has been home to the city’s homeless population since the 1930s and has only grown in size thanks to the housing crisis. In “Skid Row Marathon,” director Mark Hayes decides to explore not Skid Row in particular, but a judge who has formed a running club with some Skid Row residents to train for marathons, and offers insights into this unique group of people who have struggled in life.
Though some of the stories are inspirational, Hayes takes on a “white savior” view too often, making the documentary feel misguided and detached.
It’s always a little bit strange for me to see how a writer or director who isn’t from L.A. or has only lived here a few years, takes on a subject that is very much an L.A. thing.

Don Coscarelli is a living legend in not only the horror world, but in independent cinema. From having a major studio release his first film at the age of 19, to his beloved Phantasm series, to John Dies at the End, Don Coscarelli has always done it his way. His upcoming book, True Indie: Life and Death in Filmmaking chronicles his journey on the often arduous independent road, and Daily Dead had the opportunity to talk with him about his book and his storied career.
Thanks for taking the time to chat with Daily Dead. You're going to be the spotlight of a master class at the Miskatonic Institute of Horror Studies, which is just opening their La branch on September 13th. What can you tell us about that?

The documentary “Skid Row Marathon,” which premiered this week at the Los Angeles Film Festival, chronicles the unlikely path some recovering addicts, alcoholics and convicts have taken from homelessness to marathon running. But in the case of one of its subjects, Ben Shirley, the path has been even stranger: He went from almost destroying his life through substance abuse to conducting music for the documentary in which he appears, with stops along the way to run a couple of marathons. The central figure in director Mark Hayes’ film is Craig Mitchell, a Los Angeles superior court judge and former prosecutor who.

Its prosaic title only begins to suggest the real-life drama contained within Skid Row Marathon. And we have an exclusive clip that illustrates that. Set to enjoy its world premiere at the Los Angeles Film Festival this coming Saturday, June 17, the documentary, directed by Mark Hayes, explores the idea of physical exercise as a means of overcoming challenges that might seem insurmountable to some. But it's not just any physical exercise. Here's the official synopsis: From his seat as a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge, Craig Mitchell hands down sentences to convicted criminals. But at the Midnight Mission on La's Skid Row, Judge Mitchell trades his robes for running shoes, leading a long-distance running club that gives its members a sense of purpose and...

Though he was just 25 years old when Phantasm hit theaters, many don't know that the cult 1979 horror film was actually director Don Coscarelli's third movie. In fact, at the age of 19, he became the youngest director ever to have a film distributed by a major studio (a statistic that's often been alleged but which I cannot independently confirm) when Universal acquired his teen drama Jim, the World's Greatest for distribution. That film, which was financed by Coscarelli's father -- who put up the money for production after having "a good year in the stock market," in Coscarelli's words -- landed the teenage filmmaker and his co-director Craig Mitchell an office on the studio's lot to finish the movie. It was an unusually auspicious Big Hollywood start to a career that ended up taking a less-mainstream turn as the years went on. "I've been working my way downward ever since,...

DreamWorks has set Joe Carnahan ("The Grey," "Narc") to write and direct their long-gestating action thriller "Motorcade".
The story deals with a terrorist attack on the U.S. President's motorcade as he travels through Los Angeles, and was originally pitched back in 2004 by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell.
Several other high-profile names have been linked to the project in the past including Tom Cruise and Len Wiseman. Billy Ray previously took at shot at the script which shifted the original pitch's action from New York to Los Angeles.
It's unclear what changes Carnahan's version will employ just yet. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald will executive produce.

Joe Carnahan has been tapped to write and direct Motorcade for DreamWorks, a project that the studio has had in the works for over a decade.
The thriller will center on a Secret Service agent who fails to stop a deadly and vicious attack on the President of the United States as he rides in a motorcade.
Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell originally pitched the pic to DreamWorks back in 2004, and the studio picked it up for a modest sum. Over the years, writers Ehren Kruger, Billy Ray and Robert Rodat have all circled for rewrites, and Jon Cassar was at one point attached to direct, but somehow Motorcade has yet to be made. Carnahan, though, is expected to take it on as his next project.

Before Tom Cruise decided to star in Knight & Day for James Mangold he was considering several projects. One was The Tourist, which Johnny Depp ultimately took, another was The Matarese Circle, which would have put him alongside Denzel Washington with David Cronenberg directing and the other was Motorcade, a thriller that was, at the time, to be directed by Len Wiseman, who instead went on to direct the Total Recall reboot. Looking at those options, it seems Cruise made the best choice for the time, but Motorcade never really died and Dreamworks is now ready to bring it back to life. It was just announced Joe Carnahan has been brought aboard to direct the thriller which pits the U.S. president against terrorists who commandeer his motorcade on the streets of Los Angeles and Carnahan is bringing along his Smokin' Aces star Ryan Reynolds to play a disgraced Secret Service...

As we walked out, Craig Mitchell with Lmg Touring (the people responsible for the live 311 Day webcast) gave us a tour of what's going to make the webcast run. We got to see the control area and all the equipment, including the military-grade satellite dish that'll be used to transmit the broadcast.

Tracey Gold has played victim, predator, hero... you name it.

DreamWorks has had developing the Motorcade script by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell on their agenda for years, but it never quite seemed to come together as a viable project. Now, however, with a little script doctoring and a celebrated TV producer/director attached, Motorcade seems done spinning its wheels.
Motorcade tells the story of an ousted Secret Service agent who happens to be on hand when the U.S. President is kidnapped. Originally planned as a Tom Cruise vehicle with Len Wiseman directing, the script for Motorcade is now being worked on by Billy Ray. Jon Cassar is attached as director, which would mark the 24 producer/director's first gig helming a theatrical production. Variety reports that Cruise is no longer in consideration for the lead role, with DreamWorks interested in casting Ryan Reynolds instead.

Jon Cassar, the co-executive producer and frequent director of Fox's 24, is sliding into the director's chair for Motorcade, the long gestating action-thriller that's been in development at DreamWorks. Ryan Reynolds is now attached to play the lead role, a disgraced Secret Service agent that gets embroiled in a kidnapping attempt of the President of the United States.
DreamWorks is hoping to have Motorcade shooting by this time or earlier next year. The script is by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell, with Billy Ray (State of Play) performing rewrites at the present time.
Cassar's directed 59 episodes of 24 so he's got plenty of experience ordering around a jiggling camera. This would be his first feature film.

DreamWorks is moving forward with Motorcade , hiring director Jon Cassar, best known as co-executive producer and a prolific helmer of the Fox TV drama "24." The studio hopes to get the picture into production by late summer or early fall 2010, and DreamWorks is eying Ryan Reynolds to play the disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the wrong place at the right time when the U.S. president is kidnapped in New York. Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing. Billy Ray continues to work on a script that was originated by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell.

DreamWorks has given a new lease of life to Motorcade, a project that has taken its time getting off the ground, by putting the film into the safe hands of Jon Cassar.
Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell originally drafted the script for the action thriller, telling the story of a disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the wrong place at the right time when the American President is kidnapped while driving in his motorcade through New York. Billy Ray then took over writing duties, and last year Len Wiseman was in talks to direct and Tom Cruise showed an interest in playing the lead.
Now it seems the man for the helmer's job is Cassar, who is best known for directing 59 episodes of 24, as well as the spinoff telepic, 24: Redemption. And although nothing has been signed on the dotted line yet, DreamWorks is eyeing up Ryan Reynolds for the lead role,...

Not content to just mouth off as a superpowered merc or patrol the spaceways as an interstellar cop with yellow issues, Ryan Reynolds is currently in negotiations to board the action movie “Motorcade” for DreamWorks. Variety calls the movie a “drama”, but how can it possibly be a drama and not an action movie with a premise like this: Reynolds would play a disgraced Secret Service agent who happens to be in the wrong place at the right time when the U.S. president is kidnapped in New York. Come on, that screams action thriller! Or at least, “24″-esque. Which probably makes sense that Dreamworks has assigned former “24″ director/producer Jon Cassar to helm the project, taking over for Len Wiseman (”Live Free or Die Hard” and the “Underworld” films), who was attached to the movie a while back (with Tom Cruise interested, natch), but has since left for greener pastures.

Four months after the release of Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie, Tom Cruise is still organizing his future. The actor has a number of potential projects lined up, which seem to be at the top of the list for many studios. According to the trades, studios have spent millions of dollars in rewrite fees to custom-tailor projects for the star. The frontrunners for his next film appear to be the DreamWorks drama Motorcade, to be directed by Len Wiseman, followed by the Spyglass remake The Tourist (with Charlize Theron), to be helmed by Bharat Nalluri, and the Fox action comedy Wichita (with Cameron Diaz), which James Mangold will direct. Also still in the mix is MGM's The Matarese Circle, which potentially matches Cruise with Denzel Washington and director David Cronenberg. Motorcade, which was written by Billy Ray (Breach), centers on a group of terrorists attacking the president's motorcade as it traverses through Los Angeles.

Filmmaker Len Wiseman is in talks to direct DreamWorks' upcoming thriller "Motorcade," according to Variety.
Originally written by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell, the story centers on terrorists attacking the president's motorcade in Los Angeles.
The trade says Billy Ray, director of "Breach," is rewriting the screenplay. Wiseman most recently directed "Live Free or Die Hard." He also helmed the first two "Underworld" flicks.
Final word: Considering the United States has just elected a new president, I'm glad this project is only in early developmental stages instead of being ready for a theatrical release.

Len Wiseman is in talks to direct Motorcade, a DreamWorks thriller from writer Billy Ray about terrorists attacking the president's motorcade as it traverses through Los Angeles. Ray previously wrote and directed Shatter Glass and Breach as well as writing Suspect Hero, Hart’s War and the Jodie Foster thriller Flight Plan. Motorcade was originally scripted by Hans Bauer (Anaconda) and Craig Mitchell (Highwaymen). Wiseman, know for directing the two Underworld flicks and last summer’s Live Free or Die Hard, is also attached to direct New Line's Gears of War, which is based on Microsoft and Epic Games' hit video game. That flick revolves around a world reeling from an invasion by aliens known as the Locust, and a small team of elite soldiers who fight to retake the planet Sera and save its human inhabitants.

Originally scripted by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell -- rewritten by Billy Ray -- Motorcade is about terrorists attacking the president's motorcade as it traverses through Los Angeles. The idea is so simple that there is bound to be tons of Die Hard-like action.

Script development and presidential motorcades have one essential thing in common: They must stay in motion or bad things will happen.
DreamWorks is applying this mantra to its thriller Motorcade by bringing on writer-director Billy Ray to change the script's route and keep the project moving forward. Motorcade is an action thriller about terrorists assaulting the president's procession as it snakes through Los Angeles.
Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell sold their original pitch to DreamWorks in November 2004, with Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald producing. David Beaubaire and Jonathan Eirich are the execs steering the project for the studio.
Ray, who is repped by ICM, has embraced a shrewd mix of rewrites on such big-budget fare as Volcano, Flightplan and State of Play and more personal writing-directing assignments such as Shattered Glass, Breach and the forthcoming Hurricane Season at Universal.
