What is Movie News After Dark? It’s a nightly movie news collection that doesn’t usually involve so much nudity, or Dance Dance Revolution references, but Mondays are always a little special. We begin this evening with a new shot from The Hobbit, a film you may have heard about. It’s also a film that will undoubtedly be filled with little people, tall wizards, shires, middling earths and rings inscribed with “From Sauron, with love.” This one features Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, standing amongst friends.

Collette McVeigh seems to be a fairly normal little girl, creating beaded necklaces and bribing her younger brother into running a quick errand for their father that she does not want to do herself. Unfortunately, this errand ends in tragedy, with her brother getting shot and killed. As her mother weeps over his body and her father fixes in on her with a look that could kill, Collette stands frozen, devastated. Shadow Dancer focuses on the life of a now grown-up Collette (Andrea Riseborough) who has a son of her own and is tied up in the “family business” (the IRA), rooted in taking down the English government which cost their brother his life.

Adorable primate or your future master? Oscar-winning documentarian James Marsh has a new movie coming out this summer that takes a look at yet another icon of the 70s. Man on Wire was a crazy, tightrope-walking Frenchman and Project Nim is a crazy, sign language-learning chimpanzee. Clearly, Marsh has a type. Nim digs into the science of the world famous experiment that first set out to bridge the gap between the two species, and from the trailer, it looks like it will unearth heartwarming and unpleasant aspects alike. Check it out for yourself:

What is Movie News After Dark? Only the most high-octane dose of movie news you could possibly have in the middle of the night. Everything in here is worth reading, friends. Except for my commentary. You could probably take or leave that, depending on your mood. The image above marks the first official image from Fright Night, the Craig Gillespie remake 3D remake of the 80s horror film of the same name. In this shot, Colin Farrell plays the vampire next door, and he appears to be looking to start a diet comprised completely of Anton Yelchin. Over at Cinematical (which I feel dirty linking to…) they have shots of Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Imogen Poots, who has one of the more adorable names ever.

Director James Marsh, who brought us last year’s best documentary (in my opinion) Man on Wire, is taking the jump to genre filmmaking with the upcoming supernatural thriller The Vatican Tapes.

Magnolia Pictures’ documentary release Man on Wire, which tells the story of Frenchman Philippe Petit’s daring dream of walking a tight-rope between the towers of the World Trade Center in ’74, has emerged as the ‘Best Reviewed Film of All-Time.’
