AFM ’10: New ‘Phasma Ex Machina’ Sales Art Lights Up the Room
Fans of Primer should take note of Matt Osterman’s Phasma Ex Machina (review), a wonderfully eerie cross-genre thriller that carries strong elements of science fiction and the supernatural. Having played at the FanTasia Film Festival, Calgary Int’l Film Festival and the Fantastisk Filmfestival in Sweden, Phasma follows the lives of two brothers and an electrical engineer trying to decipher a series of strange events. Everything changes when the brothers discover that the distance between the living and the dead isn’t all that far. We just got our hands on a brand new piece of art that can be viewed beyond the break. Hopefully we’ll hear of some acquisition news soon!
“After his parents are killed in car accident, Cody is left dealing with great guilt, caring for his younger brother and the persistent thought of how to bring his parents back to life. Cody knows he is not the first person to have this idea or the first to have attempted to carry it through. After several attempts with his electromagnetic device, he becomes the first to breach the wall between the living and the dead. But where is the line between life and death? And who actually comes back? What ghosts come out of the machine? “Phasma Ex Machina” is a sci-fi film which has succeeded to combine both heart and mystery with electronic veins and sheet metal.”
Less than two months after releasing in theaters, where it has scared up $188 million at the box office, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire is headed home next week, we’ve learned.
First reported by Ghostbusters News, Frozen Empire comes to Digital Tuesday, May 7.
In Gil Kenan’s Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level.
But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.
The cast includes Patton Oswalt, Kumail Nanjiani, James Acaster, and Emily Alyn Lind, alongside Bill Murray, Finn Wolfhard, Ernie Hudson, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd, Celeste O’Connor, Logan Kim, Annie Potts, Dan Aykroyd and Carrie Coon.
Jason Reitman, who directed Ghostbusters: Afterlife, is back to produce Frozen Empire.
Meagan wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Frozen Empire offers familiar set pieces, references, and easter eggs aplenty, but the nostalgia tank is now running on empty.”
“That may be enough for some, especially when Frozen Empire pulls out some deep-cut nods. But by the time the mid-credit scene kicks in, solely designed to inspire merchandising sales, it’s more likely to leave you ready for the Ghostbusters to retire in peace,” she adds.
