Our feature presentation: Vacancy

Released on 15th June, Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale star in ‘Vacancy’, which promises some real motel problems.

The main players are bickering couple David and Amy, who check into a deserted backwoods motel only to discover they're about to take starring roles in a real life horror movie. Locking us in their room and turning off the lights, Hungarian director Nimrod Antal tries to wind up the tension, but doesn’t succeed in all departments. After their car breaks down somewhere off the interstate, David and Amy check into the Pinewood Hotel. The manager played by Frank Whaley is a little weird and there's cockroaches between the sheets, but what's more disturbing is the horror movie they find in the VCR. Shot on cameras hidden in their room, and featuring past guests getting terrified by masked intruders, the tape suggests that David and Amy are not going to get much sleep.. At first, the director piles on suspense with an expert's touch, and you think you could be in for a very dark film especially from the performances by the leading players. Unfortunately, as the film progresses, it loses its edge and becomes a typical Hollywood horror, which has some scary moments but never reaches the heights it originally promised.

Forthcoming attractions:

Out on 29th June there’s "The Flying Scotsman". Jonny Lee Miller stars in the true story of Scottish champion cyclist Graeme Obree, who rode to victory in 1993 on a bicycle he built from scrap metal and old washing machine parts.

And 20th July sees the release of "Hairspray". John Travolta does drag in this remake of John Walters' 80s kitsch classic about a pleasantly plump teenager who auditions to appear on her favourite dance show.

Mike Myers has signed up for "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty", a remake of Danny Kaye's 1947 comedy classic. Based on the short story by James Thurber, the film will see Myers as a man whose dull everyday life is enlivened by a series of bizarre daydreams.

Sandra Bullock has apparently signed up for "The Proposal", which is a romantic comedy, where she will play a demanding female boss who is faced with deportation to Canada. In order to avoid that, she agrees to a sham engagement and marriage with her young male assistant.

Reese Witherspoon will star in a remake of the 1939 comedy "Midnight". Michael Arndt, the Oscar-nominated scribe of Little Miss Sunshine has been hired to pen the adaptation. He also hatched the idea of retelling the story, which originally starred Claudette Colbert as a destitute woman in Paris. She becomes a pawn when a wealthy man needs to distract the gigolo who is wooing his wife.

Aaron Eckhart will follow up his stint in the Batman Begins sequel "The Dark Knight" with a role in brooding drama "Travelling". The project marks the directing debut of Brandon Camp, who wrote the script with long-time writing partner Mike Thompson. Eckhart will play a widower whose book about grieving turns him into a celeb. Reinvented as a self-help guru, he falls for a woman at a seminar and is forced to confront the fact that he really hasn't come to grips with his loss.
