Let's see what's going on in Austin film news this week.
- Predators, which was shot partially in Austin by Troublemaker Studios, is out on Blu-ray
this week. Over at the Austin Chronicle, Richard Whittaker reports from a junket for the Blu-ray release at Troublemaker (yes, I'm envious) and Austin Studios. Check out my review of Predators from its theatrical release this summer.
- SXSW 2010 documentary Marwencol is getting a theatrical release from Cinema Guild, and will have several screenings at Alamo Drafthouse at the Ritz starting November 10. I'm looking forward to seeing this film again (here's my review), especially in a theater. I do love the photos of the 1/6 scale red carpet at the film's NYC premiere.
- aGLIFF 2010 Narrative Feature Award winner Undertow (Contracorriente) will return to the Alamo Drafthouse on South Lamar for a screening on Friday night, Oct. 22.
- We've got another free movie opportunity in the next week to join Monday's list from Jenn: SXSW 2010 documentary Haynesville will screen at The University of Texas next Tuesday, Oct. 26. For more details, check out the official invite. The movie about Louisiana's largest natural gas field and its effects was directed by former Austin American-Statesman reporter Gregory Kallenberg.
- Speaking of UT, Slashfilm reports that the university's literary magazine Analecta found a story from filmmaker Wes Anderson in its archives, which you can now read online.
- Wait, here's another free movie! Nueva Onda Movie Nights is showing the Japanese haunted-house thriller Hausu on Friday, Oct. 29 (at Nueva Onda, natch) to get you in the mood for Halloween.
