Exclusive 'Haywire' Featurette: Michael Fassbender On The 'Old School' Vibe

Posted 5/1/12 4:36 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in DVD, Video

There are few things we love more than Michael Fassbender, but as we learned while watching "Haywire," seeing Gina Carano beat the crap out of him is truly something special.

To celebrate the release of "Haywire" on Blu-ray and DVD, we have an exclusive clip from the featurette "The Men of 'Haywire,'" starring none other than the Fassbender himself.

In the clip, Fassbender explains what he enjoyed most about the ultra-cool screenplay for the film. "What I like from the script is all the stuff that's not said, the intrigue," he says. "I got an old school espionage-type film, like an old spy thriller, going back to the early 80s, from what I can remember of my childhood. That's the feel I got from it, although it's set in a modern context."

'Haywire', 'Clueless', And More: This Week On Video!

Posted 5/1/12 1:41 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in DVD

In this week's Video Score, a bunch of Hollywood's biggest male actors get their butts handed to them by Gina Carano. "Haywire" was one of the year's biggest surprises, and it still packs a bunch on Blu-ray.

Plus, we have the rest of the week's biggest releases down below!

Pick of the Week
Haywire

"Haywire" (2012)
Director: Steven Soderbergh
Cast: Gina Carano, Michael Douglas, Michael Fassbender

Story:
Mallory Kane (Carano) is the woman the U.S. government calls on to take care of their dirty work. She's fast, efficient, and -- perhaps most important of all -- clean. But when Mallory makes the mistake of saving a Chinese journalist from certain death, she becomes an enemy to the very same government she once served.

Gina Carano Recalls The 'Bumps And Bruises' Of 'Haywire'

Posted 4/30/12 4:51 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in DVD, Interviews

Gina Carano

When MMA fighter-turned-action star Gina Carano first met with her A-list "Haywire" co-stars — Michael Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Ewan McGregor and Antonio Banderas — she did so knowing that at some point in the near future, she'd likely have to beat them up.

But according to Carano, that fact never got in the way of their working relationships. "It wasn't about beating each other up," she said. "It was about creating something great, and that's what they do every day on film, so it was nice to be able to share what I do."

Carano spoke with MTV News in the lead up to the release of "Haywire" on Blu-ray this week, and she explained that her approach to fighting on film was not that different from her cage fighting. "I've learned through fighting that you never judge anybody off of what you think you know about them," she said.

'The Innkeepers', 'Contraband,' And More: This Week On Video

Posted 4/24/12 2:18 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in DVD

In The Video Score today, we have a throw back to when horror movies were actually scary, one of last year's most celebrated film debuts from a writer-director, and that movie Halle Berry did about sharks. We're breaking down the week's major Blu-ray and DVD releases all for you below!

Pick of the Week
The Innkeepers Blue

"The Innkeepers" (2011)
Director: Ti West
Cast: Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Alsion Bartlett

Story:
A pair of self-styled ghost chasers hunt for spirits in a run-down New England inn in this subtle thriller from director Ti West. The Yankee Pedlar Inn is a hotel in Torrington, CT, that's been welcoming guests for over a hundred years. However, not many have been stopping by lately, and the owners have chosen to shut it down. In the Yankee Pedlar's last weeks of operation, the staff have been reduced to just two people, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy). Neither one is especially interested in hotel management, but they're both students of the supernatural: They've come to the Yankee Pedlar because it has a reputation for being haunted and they want to see for themselves if ghosts walk the halls before it's too late.

Robert Rodriguez Reminisces About His Early Film 'Roadracers'

Posted 4/24/12 1:01 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in DVD, Interviews

Robert Rodriguez

Robert Rodriguez loves "Roadracers," a film he made on a sliver of a budget in between his indie hit "El Mariachi" and his breakout "Desperado."

He told me that much almost as soon as he got on the phone. "I love 'Roadracers,' " he said. "It is one of my favorite movies." You could hear the excitement in his voice.

And he has a reason to be excited. After years of attempting to get "Roadracers" out on DVD and then eventually Blu-ray, Rodriguez finally succeeded with the April 17 release in high definition. Part of the reason it had taken so long to hit video was because of the film's origins.

You know that when it's a movie starring Mark Wahlberg, you can expect a few things. He's probably going to be a tough guy, probably out of Boston. There might be a crime involved and some revenge to be had.

What you never expect is the dancing ninja.

Check out this deleted scene from the upcoming Blu-ray release of "Contraband" above.

There are also three great classics coming out, two of which are on Blu-ray.

Exclusive 'We Bought A Zoo' Featurette: Cameron Crowe's Musical Mixes

Posted 4/5/12 12:09 pm EST by Kara Warner in DVD, Video

One of the many reasons to respect director Cameron Crowe is how selectivity he chooses his projects. Sure, we'd like to see more films from him, but we also fully appreciate the fact that he doesn't hop into the director's chair willy nilly.

Another reason is for his use of music during filming, which is the subject of a featurette on the recently released DVD/Blu-ray for his latest film, "We Bought A Zoo," a film we felt was overlooked during award season.

Check out the exclusive clip from the making of "We Shot A Zoo" above to hear what stars Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Haden Church and Matt Damon had to say about how Crowe's musical inclinations enhanced their performances and overall experiences.
