EXCLUSIVE: The Weeknd is depicted as a curious toddler by filmmaker Eddie Alcazar (Divinity, The Vandal) in the new stop-motion short film Red Terror, an accompaniment to the song of the same name off his latest album release Hurry Up Tomorrow. The video can be viewed below.

EXCLUSIVE: Steven Soderbergh has dedicated more than four decades to shaping his legacy in Hollywood as a director, cinematographer and producer. But instead of splurging on yachts or a home in the South of France, he is investing in the future of independent filmmaking by mentoring directors like Joe and Anthony Russo, Christopher Nolan and most recently Eddie Alcazar. He and Alcazar’s second collaboration (after 2018’s Perfect) is Divinity, which hits theaters nationwide Friday after debuting at the Sundance Film Festival.

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT: This article contains spoilers for “Divinity,” which releases in New York on Friday, Los Angeles on Oct. 20 and goes wide on Nov. 3.

Two experimental films executive produced by Steven Soderbergh — Eddie Alcazar’s Divinity and Godfrey Reggio’s Once Within A Time – join Neon’s anticipated Anatomy Of A Fall, Cannes Palme d’Or winner, in theaters today, a bit of counter-programming on a weekend dominated by Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour. 

William Earl Horror Film School is a feature in which talent in front of and behind the camera share the ins and outs of creating the biggest onscreen scares. Eddie Alcazar’s feature film debut “Divinity” is a lot of things scene-to-scene: a love story; an examination of how a father’s legacy can impact his son; a creature feature; a black and white sci-fi throwback; a stop motion masterpiece. Utilizing his low budget as a way to spark creativity, writer and director Eddie Alcazar successfully develops his dystopian vision of the future in which society is obsessed with the titular drug, which promises everlasting youth. Yet the director pauses when asked if he’d consider his dynamic midnight movie to be “weird.” “I never really think about that too much,” he says.

EXCLUSIVE: Screamfest Horror Film Festival has unveiled the first-wave lineup for its 23rd edition, taking place at the TCL Chinese Theatre from October 10-19, announcing that it will kick off with a screening of Eddie Alcazar’s much-discussed Sundance 2023 mind-bender Divinity.

Writer-director Eddie Alcazar’s dystopian sci-fi thriller Divinity, starring Stephen Dorff, Bella Thorne, and Scott Bakula, has landed a SAG-AFTRA Interim Agreement. The pact will allow cast members to get out and promote the theatrical release of the film, which hits Regal Union Square in New York on October 13th and LA on the 20th, ahead of a wide expansion on November 3rd.

EXCLUSIVE: Indie distributors Utopia and Sumerian have set an October 13th nationwide theatrical release for Divinity, the sci-fi thriller starring Stephen Dorff, Bella Thorne, Scott Bakula and more, which world premiered in the NEXT section of this year’s Sundance Film Festival.

EXCLUSIVE: Eddie Alcazar’s Sundance-lauded feature Divinity will premiere internationally at the Taormina Film Festival on June 29th in Italy. Writer and Director Alcazar and stars Bella Thorne, Karrueche Tran and Moises Arias are set to appear at the Teatro Antico for the celebration.

Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International Utopia and Sumerian have acquired worldwide rights to Eddie Alcazar’s Sundance-premiering “Divinity.” The film had a memorable premiere in Park City, where there was a medical incident (unrelated to the movie) during its world premiere at the Egyptian Theater. Guests in attendance — who received zines and VHS boxes upon arrival — were also treated to writer-director Alcazar showing up to the event in a terrifying mask. Executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and starring Stephen Dorff, the experimental film is set in an otherworldly human existence, where the creation of a groundbreaking immortality serum named “Divinity” is wreaking havoc.

Todd Gilchrist editor Boasting an intriguing premise, a compelling ensemble and frequently crisp, handsome filmmaking, Mark Burman’s “Ambush” almost qualifies as an above-average Vietnam-era nailbiter — were it not for the hopelessly below-average performances contributed by the two actors whose names stand tallest in its credits block. Aaron Eckhart and Jonathan Rhys Meyers, usually complex and appealing even in roles as small as these, play characters perched lazily outside the main story while Connor Paolo, Gregory Sims, Jason Genao and others do the narrative heavy lifting that remains after their more sellable co-stars cashed their paychecks. Nevertheless smarter and more entertaining than one might expect from a small-scale, outwardly familiar story like this, “Ambush” feels like a throwback — mostly in a good way — to the ‘Namsploitation films that companies like Cannon churned out in the 1980s, when stories about the war were at their most commercially popular.

Bella Thorne spent much of the third day of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival promoting the new sci-fi film Divinity that made its world premiere at the Egyptian Theater on Main Street in Park City, Utah.The actress, 25, stunned on the red carpet in a sheer pink sequin dress that helped show off her incredible curves. Along with a pink feathered train, the flashy number also had a busty neckline and a slit along the left side allowing the starlet to flaunt her left leg at a moments notice. Promo mode: Bella Thorne, 25, showed off her fashion sense ahead of the premiere of sci-fi film Divinity on day three of the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah on SaturdayShe strutted her stuff in a pair of blingy heels that was adorned with an assortment of glistening stones and sequins.
