hitpigJason Sudeikis, Lilly Singh, Rainn Wilson, RuPaul, Hannah Gadsby, Anitta, Charlie Adler, Flavor Flav, Lorraine Ashbourne and Andy Serkis.

It is based on Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times bestseller children’s book “Pete & Pickles” by author Berkeley Breathed.

Set in a futuristic world, the film follows a grizzled porcine bounty hunter who accepts his next hit: Pickles, a naive, ebullient elephant who has escaped the clutches of an evil trillionaire. Though Hitpig initially sets out to capture the perky pachyderm, the unlikely pair find themselves on an unexpected adventure crisscrossing the globe that brings out the best in both of them. Based on an original idea by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Berkeley Breathed, inspired by his 2008 children’s book Pete & Pickles, comes an adventure about learning that sometimes what we want isn’t what we need.

The film is set for release on November 1, 2024.

Michel Fiffe Kicks Off Highly Anticipated Finale Story Arc Death Of Copra Miniseries

Michel-Fiffe-Death-Of-CopraMichel Fiffe’s critically-acclaimed superhero revenge epic will begin a high octane, action-packed finale story arc with the upcoming Death of COPRA. This four issue miniseries will launch in January 2025 from Image Comics.

“The whole thing is bittersweet, which is perfect in a way,” said Fiffe. “The story of COPRA is one of duality: brutal but tender, bombast as defined by human nuance, crafted with a love of comics history while guided by an eye towards the future.”

This new chapter will kick off with 32 story pages written, drawn, colored, and lettered by Fiffe, who added: “These characters have been through the wringer for a long time. Some have their retribution and others get their comeuppance; all of these moments have been speeding towards this crucial home stretch. Although COPRA has traditionally been a single ongoing narrative, this final arc deserved its own space to unfold.”

Michelangelo Antonioni’s First Masterpiece, IL GRIDO

IL-GRIDOIL GRIDO (1957), the widely underseen early masterwork by Italian auteur Michelangelo Antonioni, will run at Film Forum in a new 4K restoration from Friday, November 8 through Thursday, November 14.

Deserted by the mother of his child, Aldo, a factory worker (played by Hollywood tough guy Steve Cochran) wanders through the Po Valley in search of solace and connection. His romantic prospects—including a gas-station owner (Dorian Gray), a sex worker (Lyn Shaw), and an old girlfriend (Betsy Blair, Oscar nominee for the prior year’s Marty and Mrs. Gene Kelly)—fizzle out into alienation and despair.

Made three years before his international breakthrough L’avventura, this rare departure from exploring affluent society is among Antonioni’s most politically trenchant films and a raw expression of anguish that remains one of Italian cinema’s great underappreciated gems. Strikingly composed with atmospheric photography by the great Gianni Di Venanzo, IL GRIDO reveals a director in the process of discovering his artistic signature.

Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, from the screenplay by Michelangelo Antonioni, Elio Bartolini and Ennio De Concini, the film stars Steve Cochran, Alida Valli, Betsy Blair, and Dorian Gray.

Andrew Abraham’s documentary “Dog War” will make North American Premiere at Chelsea Film Festival October 19

dog-warThe film is Andrew Abraham’s “on the front lines” documentary about two ex-military men on a mission to save dogs from hidden meat farms in South Korea.

Dog War follows a duo of war-hardened, canine-loving combat veterans fighting to stop the dog meat trade in South Korea. Surveilling and infiltrating hidden meat farms and markets, they risk it all to save as many dogs as possible.

At the same time, the film spotlights a country at war with itself over the issue, igniting questions about cultural difference, and social and generational change. Dog War probes these questions without simple black and white answers—about animal rights vs. human livelihood, heroism vs. vigilantism, respect for another culture, and how far we can justly go to save man’s best friend.
