Russell Crowe stars as a psycho trucker in Unhinged, an exciting thriller from director Derrick Borte. Given that it’s one of the first mainstream films to receive an actual theatrical release during the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s likely to be one of the best films you’ll see in a cinema all year.
Unhinged opens with Crowe’s unnamed and clearly troubled trucker bashing someone’s door in with a massive hammer before brutally murdering everyone inside. The next time we see him, he’s on the motorway, where he doesn’t take too kindly to being honked at by single mother Rachel (Caren Pistorius) and her young son (Gabriel Bateman). Crowe gives Rachel the opportunity to apologise, but when she refuses, he goes full-blown psycho, stealing...

In the realm of classic animated shorts, many plots hinged on the main character (often the “series star”) losing their patience, as their frustrations cause them to go into “action” or even “revenge” mode (often with the sight gag of steam spewing from their ears or through the tops of their noggins). Popeye’s “I’s had all I kin’ stan’ an’ I can’t stands no more!”, Bugs Bunny’s “Of course you realize this means war!”. and even Droopy Dog’s “Know what? I’m mad.”. This would spill into live-action flicks, with the gentle cowboy or farmer taking a stand. In the 1970s, epitomized by Network’s Howard Beale ranting, “I’m as mad as Hell and I’m not gonna’ take it anymore!”, the normal guy, the everyman was pushed into the breaking point in comedies like The Prisoner Of Second Avenue and thrillers like Death Wish...

Chicago – America is at a boiling point. The pandemic, the election, the divisiveness and general atmosphere has reformulated us in many profound ways. Director Derrick Borte explores those themes in the new release “Unhinged,” which also has the distinction of being the first film to be distributed to all open nationwide theaters on Friday, August 21st.
Russell Crowe is Tom, a victim of his own desperation and anger. When a put-upon single mom named Rachel (Caren Pistorius) honks at him during a traffic stop, it starts a road rage incident, that escalates into a revenge scenario that becomes increasingly violent. Crowe puts some nuance into the unhinged character, and director Borte follows through on the themes of citizens up against it, predicting the divisions that have been fought during the pandemic.

"Yes, troublesome people may be trouble..." AMC has revealed one final trailer for Unhinged, a road rage action movie made by filmmaker Derrick Borte. The trailer plays as a PSA on road rage / aggressive driving. Academy Award winner Russell Crowe stars in this "psychological thriller that explores the fragile balance of a society pushed to the edge, taking something we've all experienced – road rage – to an unpredictable and terrifying conclusion." This was originally AMC's big "re-opening" movie to draw people back into their theaters. But after multiple delays, and problems trying to re-open in several states, it is now getting a late August release. The main cast includes Gabriel Bateman, Jimmi Simpson, and Austin P. McKenzie. This has already opened in some countries around the world, with mixed reviews so far. Still want to see it? Here's the final trailer (+ another poster) for Derrick Borte's Unhinged, direct from AMC's YouTube...

Rachel (Caren Pistorius) is running late to work when she has an altercation at a traffic light with a stranger (Crowe) whose life has left him feeling powerless and invisible.

What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse that proves you never know just how close you are to someone who is about to become unhinged.

‘The Assistant.’
As more cinemas around Australia opened their doors, ticket sales improved last weekend from a low base as several art house titles led by Kitty Green’s The Assistant entered the market.
Exhibitors blame the lack of new mainstream releases rather than any discernible reticence to return to cinemas.
“Business is incredibly quiet, with no new films in the market,” says Geoff Chard, national programming manager at Village Cinemas, which re-opened eight complexes last week with another six to follow this Thursday and the remainder later in July.
“Titanic, released 23 years ago, was number four for the weekend. That makes perfect sense as the films released in February and March are still the top films, albeit on very low grosses.”
At Cinema Nova, where The Assistant was the most popular title, ticket sales were spread fairly evenly among the retro releases. CEO Kristian Connelly says: “For many moviegoers...

Update: As expected with Tenet‘s big move to Aug. 12, and Mulan‘s to Aug. 21, Solstice Studios’ first theatrical release Unhinged will now open July 31. If Sony/Tri-Star’s Broken Hearts Gallery moves to Aug. 7, Unhinged will then be the first fresh wide release for exhibition after being shutdown since mid-March. Again, it’s not expected for AMC and Regal to be open in mid-July with Covid-19 cases spiking and New York and LA markets not even open yet. We’re waiting on official word from AMC and Regal. We hear Cinemark is proceeding with opening 75 theaters next weekend.
Unhinged initially was expected to open over the Independence Day stretch next weekend, but then moved to July 10 after Tenet jumped from July 17 to July 31.
There’s also Lionsgate’s Antebellum on Aug. 21, sharing space with Mulan. Gotta figure that title moves.
So far the immediate ‘summer’ calendar for wide releases is looking like this below.

"He's road raging." AMC Theaters has debuted an official trailer for an intense thriller called Unhinged, a road rage action movie made by filmmaker Derrick Borte. Academy Award winner Russell Crowe stars in this "timely psychological thriller that explores the fragile balance of a society pushed to the edge, taking something we've all experienced – road rage – to an unpredictable and terrifying conclusion." Whoa! Don't mess with Crowe! He is the one who becomes angry and turns violent after getting upset at another driver, played by Caren Pistorius. The cast also includes Gabriel Bateman, Jimmi Simpson, and Austin P. McKenzie. This is being marketed as "the first movie" to play in theaters on July 1st, which is an odd pick. Is this really the movie to bring people back to cinemas? I don't think so. But it does look frightening as hell. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Derrick Borte's Unhinged,...

Russell Crowe gets stuck in an extremely over-the-top bout of road rage in the new trailer for Unhinged. The movie is expected to arrive July 1st and is being touted in a press release as “the first new film to open in America’s movie theaters in accordance with state public-health department safety guidelines.”
The film is centered around a terrifying cat-and-mouse chase between Crowe’s character, an unnamed stranger, and a woman named Rachel (Caren Pistorius), who provokes the stranger’s ire when trying to get around him in a traffic jam.

Unhinged is a psychological thriller starring Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe from Carl Ellsworth, the writer of Red Eye and Disturbia and Lisa Ellzey, the producer of Warrior and Kingdom of Heaven. It takes an ordinary, everyday incident to its most terrifying conclusion in telling the story of a mother who leans on her horn at the wrong time, to the wrong guy. “Road rage” doesn’t begin to describe what he’s about to do to her and everyone she knows.
The film is directed by Derrick Borte (American Dreamer) and also stars Caren Pistorius, Gabriel Bateman, Jimmi Simpson and Austin P. McKenzie.

Breaking: Solstice Studios wants to be the first to test the movie theater marketplace, setting a July 1 release date for the Russell Crowe psychological thriller Unhinged. The indie production/distribution company has moved the film from its September 4 release date right into the July 4 weekend, a moment where they expect theaters to be open and full of repertory programming. Unhinged will likely be the first to test the waters as theaters try to rebound from the crushing pandemic, and utilize the safety playbooks that Nato and all exhibitors are finalizing to restore customer confidence that it will be once again safe to venture back into a movie theater.
“When we green lit this film, I probably figured that July 4th weekend and Christmas would be the two least likely slots,” said Solstice chairman/CEO Mark Gill. “We were sitting on September 4 and then Covid-19 happened, and A Quiet Place 2...

Mark Gill’s Solstice Studios is planning to release its first film, a thriller starring Russell Crowe called “Unhinged,” and it plans to do so at the start of July in the hopes that it will be one of the first films people can see if theaters reopen widely.
Solstice Studios has set a theatrical release date for “Unhinged” on July 1, the distributor announced Tuesday. Solstice consulted directly with the National Association of Theater Owners and other theater chains in finding an ideal date, and the idea is that, if they’re able to do so, the release will coincide with theaters reopening nationwide or directly follow it.

After a couple impressive March weekends with one new box office record, and a couple impressive openings, we’re now into April, and of the new movies, there just doesn’t seem like anything can defeat last week’s powerful duo of DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby--which exceeded all predictions with $49 million, taking the top spot from Beauty and the Beast. Ghost in the Shell didn’t even do as well as I thought it may, opening with just $19 million, those late reviews helping to kill its weekend.

Here at Et, we’re obsessed with a lot of things -- and for the week of Feb. 27 to March 5, this is what we’re most excited about:
Why We’re Obsessed With ‘Missing Richard Simmons’
From filmmaker Dan Taberski comes a gripping new podcast that seeks to answer the question: Whatever happened to longtime fitness guru Richard Simmons? After disappearing from public life and seemingly ghosting all his close friends and supporters in 2014, Simmons mostly hasn’t been heard from since. Taberski, a fan and friend of Simmons, makes it his mission to find the answer to that question, while also uncovering what made Simmons the man he is today. The podcast, which is only two episodes in, blends the mystery of Serial with those E! True Hollywood Story specials that became popular in the late ’90s.

An onslaught of onscreen and offscreen talent unite with a clear sense of purpose in the limited series “When We Rise.” An examination of gay and women’s rights over three decades and how their causes conflict and coalesce, Dustin Lance Black’s new ABC offering emphasizes what’s possible when oppressed minorities come together and fight back against a malicious patriarchy.
There’s no shortage of modern parallels at play, and ABC is counting on the public’s revived passion for protest to drive interest in a show that honors those who paved the way with picket signs and (mostly) passive resistance. The eight-episode series written by Black (mostly) does right by its honorable cause, but it suffers from the strictures of its format. A sprawling story creates an awkward combination of history lessons and personal stories, and broadcast standards prove far too restrictive. The result is a conglomeration...

The fight for Lgbtq rights is a topic that inspires a great deal of passion, so it was more than understandable that “When We Rise” creator Dustin Lance Black got emotional on Tuesday morning when discussing the current-day impact upon his upcoming miniseries.
“I would give anything in the world for [the show] to be less topical,” he told journalists at ABC’s portion of Television Critics Association press tour. “But I’m not entirely surprised, because as a student of history I know that history is not a straight line. History is a pendulum.”
