Edward James Olmos (Battlestar Galactica) and Ryan Guzman (Step Up: Revolution, Everbody Wants Some) are set to star in a new film is described by Variety as a father and son drama set in the aftermath of 9/11.
It's called Windows on the World and the story starts out in Mexico "where a man watches the news on Sept. 11, 2001, with his family." As he watches the terrorist attack unfold on TV he's compelled to go to New York City to find his father, who was working on the top floor of the Twin Towers. The film is named after The Windows on the World venues, which were on the top floors of the North Tower.
This certainly sounds like a powerful and emotional story. Olmos is a great actor and It's always great to see him land a feature film role. I have no doubt he'll be great in the film!

So, what is the real story on Pig Hunt? The film is a strange twisted combination of David Arquette's campers lost in the woods The Tripper and Lake Placid, where a wild monster goes on a dining rampage consisting of wilderness lovers. Overall, Isaac adds in enough unique plot...

Pig Hunt wrapped up some film festival coverage in 2009 by attending the Chicago Horror Film Festival and the film has been released already in the United Kingdom, but what of North America? The film, unfortunately, does not have North American distribution yet, despite being completed in 2008 in Boonville California. That is right, an American made horror film has been released in the United Kingdom before North America. How is that for globalization?
In the trailer there is much action, much bumbling, and some good laughs, as a group of rednecks terrorize some city-slickers. Check out the 3000 lb boar below.
The synopsis for Pig Hunt here:
"When John takes his friends to a remote ranch for a wild pig hunt, it seems like a typical guys weekend with guns, despite the presence of John's sexy girlfriend. But as John and his crew trek deeper into the forest, they learn of a legendary,...
