Elijah Wood, the actor who brought Frodo Baggins to life in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, will be in Calgary this month for the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo.

He’ll sit in on a panel Sunday at 11 a.m. in the Corral, free with admission, and be available for autographs and photo ops over the two days at an extra fee.

Wood, who will be attending for the first time in the Expo’s 13 years, joins other celebrity guests this year including Jeff Goldblum, Paul Reubens (a.k.a.Pee-wee Herman), Wil Wheaton, Jason Momoa, Anthony Daniels, Megan Follows, Lou Ferrigno, a Back to the Future reunion with Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson and Tom Wilson, and a Princess Bride reunion featuring Cary Elwes, Chris Sarandon and Wallace Shawn.

Elijah Is a Postman in Star-Studded and Surreal Spots by Prada

on March 18, 2018 by marcie Comments Off

In Prada’s “The Postman’s Gifts,” Elijah Wood stars in a series of Autumn de Wilde-directed films that depict him offering a massive surprise package to various unwitting actresses in weird, dreamlike situations.

The series is split into two parts. “The Postman’s Gifts” is an elaborate way to showcase Prada’s Galleria bag. And “The Postman Dreams” features various accessories. By and large, though, all the fragments have a strong Wes Anderson-meets-the-Nouvelle Vague vibe, with modern touches because these are modern times.

In “The Bogey” (Hollywood vernacular for someone who breaches a set), Elijah Wood—always, at the outset, taking orders from a mysterious Italian voice on a headset—stumbles onto a bizarre shoot. He’s charged with delivering a package to Emma Roberts under the watchful eye of a drone.

Roberts races over to a vintage car to open her gift. One of the great pleasures of these videos is in watching the unboxing, even if we know what’s inside. And Roberts, like anyone receiving a massive surprise package, more so one from Prada, is delighted to find it contains a turquoise-blue Galleria bag.

Hereditary is scaring the shit out of everybody, including Elijah Wood

on March 14, 2018 by marcie Comments Off

The trailer for A24’s upcoming horror film Hereditary features the kind of pull quotes (including one from our own A.A. Dowd’s glowing assessment) that lead audiences to wonder if it could actually be as disturbing as it sounds. Judging by the spellbound audience at SXSW, you should maybe believe the hype.

The film’s midnight premiere ended up turning hundreds of people away at the door, as a packed house sat down to watch Ari Aster’s psychologically fraught chiller. (Moonlight director Barry Jenkins was among the enthusiastic crowd, sitting front and center to take in the film.) And I can honestly say it was one of the more impressive theatergoing experiences I’ve had in terms of an entire roomful of people taking surprise gasps in unison. It’s not a scare-a-minute thrill ride, but rather a deeply disturbing and traumatic family drama that slowly transforms into something more sinister. And that was by design: During the Q&A following the screening, Aster talked about some of the films that influenced him as he was crafting this depiction of familial breakdown, and among his name checks (along with the expected horror touchstones like Polanski) were potent domestic dramas like In the Bedroom and The Ice Storm.

That last one was a surprise to Elijah Wood, who costarred in Ang Lee’s period piece and who was on hand to lead the Q&A. Wood kept shaking his head, saying variants on, “God, that was horrifying.” The most interesting behind-the-scenes tidbit Wood coaxed out of the director was the admission that when location scouting proved unable to find a house that could allow for the kinds of wide shots Aster wanted (Toni Collette’s character makes miniatures, and numerous scenes are meant to evoke the diorama-style scenes made within the film), the director decided they had to build a house to get it right. And they did, an impressive feat for a low-budget horror flick.

Wood is right: It’s a really horrifying film. Even this diehard horror fan found himself waking up in the middle of the night after the screening, and—for the first time in years—having to put on a little light in the hotel room as a bulwark against what might be lurking in the dark. It’s that unsettling. Hereditary opens June 8.

Transference E3 2017

on June 14, 2017 by marcie Comments Off

Ubisoft Montreal and Elijah Wood’s film studio SpectreVision are working on a virtual reality “psychological thriller” called Transference. We don’t know much about the game, but its trailer combines modern VR imagery with shades of ‘80s techno-horror. It’s apparently about a world where human memories can be digitally recreated, and players navigate “the maze-like puzzle of an impossible home” in a branching narrative about a man and his troubled family. It will star Macon Blair, who starred in indie films Green Room and Blue Ruin before directing dark revenge comedy I Don’t Feel at Home in this World Anymore.

Transference will be supported on Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, and HTC Vive. But unlike Ubisoft’s last VR game Star Trek: Bridge Crew, it’s also available outside VR on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Building something that works on both mediums could be hard, and we don’t know what the game will look like or how it’ll be played. But it’s supposed to be coming out in the spring of 2018.
