'Silent House' Company directors Have Real Terrible Inspiration

"Quiet House" isn't the first frightening movie in the future our way from Chris Kentis and Laura Lau. In 2003, the husband-wife duo found our attention with "Open Water," the nailbiter a good American couple stranded at ocean and instructed to survive a pack of bloodthirsty sharks. Although the material is not exactly the same, its easy to understand the structural parallels between your two films: small cast, shaky camera, a focus on what is laying from sight. Sharks might be more frightening for you than the usual home enemy, nevertheless its up for debate. Speaking to MTV News, Kentis and Lau were requested regarding their affection legitimate existence tales, and just how individuals tales have affected their films. "It is true,Inch Lau rapidly stated. "Weve observed it ourselves," Kentis adopted. "I believe its since the type of scares that psychologically affect me are individuals things. "Im on the internet and I see something and it is amazing the best way to read something someone complain about you do not know or something like that that happened and there is a connection there as a person where one can relate and say My dear God, I truly have reply to it." "Quiet House"s story is not immediately ripped in the head lines, but be assured, it might be horrifying to see about. "Individuals would be the tales Im thinking about telling," Kentis stated, "and searching for that type of element." "Quiet House" has gone out in theaters this Friday. Exactly what do you think about the directors' ideas on their own new horror movie? Inform us within the comments as well as on Twitter!

Plus Ving Rhames reaches have guns for legs. Classy. Our one note? Needs more Busey. He's there should you search for him...By yet, the film does not possess a solid release date right here.

Broadband bill change could vex Netflix

Time Warner Cable is starting small in a bid to bill broadband subscribers differently, but there could be big implications for such streaming services as Netflix if it expands across the MSO's customer base.Launching in just a handful of markets in south Texas, Essentials Broadband offers a $5 discount for staying under a 5-giga-byte cap. An online meter helps subs monitor their own consumption because exceeding the limit will cost a sub $1 per gigabyte, with a maximum $25 charge. (A two-hour movie in high-definition takes up roughly 3 gigabytes, depending on how many megabytes per second the content is streaming.)To hear TW Cable tell it, the departure from the customary unlimited package is a way for the MSO to hold onto cost-conscious customers. "It's a terrific opportunity to keep more customers with us if they're light users and want to keep some money," said TW Cable chief financial offier Irene Estevez at the Deutsche Bank Media and Telecommunications Conference on Tuesday.But others suggest the Texas deployment is likely just the beginning of what could be a broader industrywide shift to the more profitable model of usage-based pricing -- a foray being advanced more delicately than the first time TW Cable attempted to roll it out in the same state three years ago, only to be buried by angry bloggers and politicians decrying monopolistic tactics."Over a period of years, as the market becomes more accustomed to (usage-based pricing), we expect these plans to become the rule rather than the exception," said Bernstein Research analyst Craig Moffett in a research note.This time around, TW Cable is making Essentials an optional plan and guaranteeing an unlimited offering will always be available. But by making consumers mind their viewing time, metered billing could seriously undermine the value proposition of the subscription VOD model employed by Netflix or Hulu Plus, which is predicated on offering consumers all-you-can-stream rights for a monthly fee.It's a factor that's been lurking for Netflix for a while now, cited often by the stock's most notoriously bearish Wall Street analysts, including Wedbush Securities' Michael Pachter and Janney Capital Markets' Tony Wible.Netflix has been vocal in its opposition to metered billing in recent years, alleging MSOs are seeing the costs of maintaining bandwidth fall despite the explosive growth of the streaming service's content in their pipelines. While Netflix founder Reed Hastings didn't address the issue head on Tuesday at the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media & Telecom conference in San Francisco, his irritation was evident when an analyst questioned the "financial pressure" Netflix was putting on Internet service providers."Yeah, that 92% Comcast operating margin is really under a lot of pressure," he cracked. "There is no financial pressure on ISPs."For its part, Comcast isn't moving ahead with any metered billing plan of its own right now, though at the same Morgan Stanley conference, Comcast CFO Michael Angelakis applauded TW Cable. "I give them credit for trying different things," said Angelakis, who conceded his company isn't prepared to take such a risk yet. "We have real momentum in that business and the goal is to keep it."TW Cable is coming off a fourth quarter in which it reported an impressive 44% increase in net income, powered in large part by the addition of 117,000 broadband subs, for a total of 9.8 million. Given the MSO has only about 2 million more customers for its video service, which has been steadily eroding, it's no wonder CEO Glenn Britt last year publicly indicated that broadband is truly the company's core offering.While metered billing is common for wireless broadband, the wireline variety is traditionally unlimited in the U.S., though smaller MSOs like Charter and Suddenlink are in that business and AT&T DSL has inched toward it with monthly usage caps. In Canada, Rogers Communications imposed caps that forced Netflix to lower the resolution of its video in order to get under 25 gigabyte limits. Ironically, video programming has prompted metered billing because MSOs need to compensate for the hefty price increases they are asked to swallow by the very same content companies who license fare to the streaming services clogging the broadband pipeline. The margins on cable's broadband business are much bigger than in video precisely because MSOs don't have to pay for the content they deliver.While it's certainly possible in the short term that few subs would opt in to Essentials because it would curb their video habits, the prospect remains that metered billing could expand into enough homes that it becomes a ceiling thwarting Netflix's own growth -- a crucial ambition for a company aiming to double or triple its base in order to afford its skyrocketing programming bills."This will not impact Netflix yet because its not targeting their customer," said Vijay Jayant, an analyst with ISI Group. "But eventually it could be a limitation on their business because then consumers won't be just paying a flat rate plus $8." Contact Andrew Wallenstein at andrew.wallenstein@variety.com

Bill Maher Makes $1 Million Obama Donation

According to his longtime publicist Sarah Fuller, this happened tonight at the end of Bill Maher’s comedy specialCrazyStupidPolitics: Live from Silicon Valley which streamed live on Yahoo. Maher brought out a check and pledged a personal donation of $1 million dollars to Obamas SuperPAC, Priorities USA Action. According to Fuller, he explained that having a country governed by Barack Obama rather than any of the Republican candidates is worth a million dollars and said this is the wisest investment I think I could make. He also encouraged other wealthy liberals like himself to do the same.Maher’s pledge comes at a time when Hollywood financial support for President Obama’s re-election has been ebbing rather than flowing. Maher’s longrunning HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher, is currently in its 10th season. Though his liberal views are well known, Maher tried to present panel guests of many political persuasions to voice a spectrum of views.In his nearly 20 years hosting political talk shows, Maher has earned 27 Emmy nominations but has never won in what is the longest such losing streak on record.Maher also has written 5 political bestsellers.He alsoperforms at least 50 dates a year in Las Vegas and in sold-out theaters all across the country. So I guess this all means that Maher intends to make good on his political donation pledge. What this does to his ratings will be another story. But then HBO doesn’t depend on advertising.

Pilot Season: Tara's Brie Larson to Co-Star in CBS' Nick Stoller Comedy

John Goodman and Roseanne Barr This fall, the networks want to party like it's 1992. It was 20 years ago that stars like Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Kirstie Alley and John Stamos ruled the sitcom world. Now they're all back, and signed on to star in new comedy pilots this spring. The trend started this season with Tim Allen's successful return to TV as the star of ABC's Last Man Standing. Allen brought a familiar, recognizable quality to the show, making it a relatively easy sell to viewers. Now other '90s stars are eager to return to their TV-comedy roots. Barr (Roseanne's Nuts) and Alley (Dancing With the Stars) most recently starred in reality-TV shows; Goodman and Stamos are coming off dramas (Damages and ER, respectively). In NBC's Downwardly Mobile, Barr stars as the manager of a mobile-home park, and Goodman, reuniting with his Roseanne wife, will play her handyman. Full House's Stamos plays a man who discovers he has a delinquent half brother in the Fox pilot My Little Brother. And Alley stars with fellow Cheers alum Rhea Perlman as part of a boisterous Italian family on ABC's The Manzanis. "They are iconic TV stars," says one network executive. "There's no reason why, as long as they're still vibrant, they shouldn't have a second shot at success." Subscribe to TV Guide Magazine now!

Two international posters for Piranha 3DD

Piranha 3DD has released a new pair of posters promoting the horror sequel's schlocky wares, and they've got us ruing afresh that the film has been unable to negotiate a UK release.Whilst director John Gulager has reassured US audiences that the film will reach Stateside cinemas, the UK plan is for the film to be released direct to DVD.Now while the original was no masterpiece, it was a dopily enjoyable slice of Friday night fun. Throw in the involvement of Gary Busey and David Hasselhoff, and the sequel sounds too ridiculous to miss!The new posters trade heavily on that trashy reputation, although surprisingly, the amount of boobage on display is remarkably restrained. The fish are the stars of the show here, and once again, they look suitably fiendish.We particularly like the Jaws-aping effort featuring a blissfully unaware swimmer. Plus, that tagline is also a bit of a winner: "Double the action. Double the terror. Double the Ds." They don't write 'em like that any more...UK audiences can catch the film when it's released on DVD on 19 March 2012.

Sky Italia wins soccer contest

ROME -- Chalk one up for Rupert Murdoch's Sky Italia satcaster, which has won a key ruling over World Cup soccer rights against rival service Mediaset Premium service, controlled by Silvio Berlusconi. A Paris arbitration court has rejected Mediaset's legal suit claiming that Sky in 2010 broke EU competition rules by snapping up all rights to the FIFA 2010 South Africa World Cup games, and refusing to resell the DTT rights, which it did not use. According to Mediaset, under EU rules, established in 2003 when Sky Italia entered the Italian market as a pay TV monopolist, Sky could not shut out competitors in this way. But the arbitrators instead ruled that those rules, due to expire this year, did not apply to that soccer World Cup tourney, deemed as not crucial to competition, since it is held once every four years. The ruling ups the ante for fierce future soccer bidding wars between Sky and Mediaset Premium, which entered the market in 2005, operating on DTT. Sky Italia has already shut out Mediaset and pubcaster RAI from UEFA Champions League Soccer for three years, starting in 2012, by paying $172 million for exclusive rights, triple what its previous non-exclusive UEFA package had cost. Sky and RAI have split the upcoming World Cup Brazil 2014 rights package, with the bulk of games going to Sky, and Mediaset again shut out. The heat is already on over exclusivity to Italy's key Serie A matches, though both Sky and Mediaset have rights through 2015. Contact Nick Vivarelli at nvivarelli@gmail.com

Michael Fassbender Plans Cuchulainn

He's becoming an Irish mythGiven that his star has been rising faster than the average rocket, you might expect Michael Fassbender to take advantage of his newfound clout to start developing some projects for himself. Surprise! That's just what he's doing, developing a tale based on legendary Celtic warrior Cuchulainn.The man they call The Fass is working with Public Enemies writer Ronan Bennett to craft a film about the Irish legend, the central character in the Ulster Cycle.Dating from around the 8th century, and said to take place about two millenia ago, the stories centre on the conflict between the Ulstermen led by King Conchobar and the rest of Ireland, led by Connaught's Queen Mebh. Among Conchobar's best warriors is his nephew Cuchulainn, a man with divinity in his ancestry and amazing fighting skills. No prizes for guessing who Fassbender will be playing, then...As of right now, it's still at an embryonic stage, with no director attached. But Fassbender and Bennett have rustled up development cash via their Finn McCool Films production company (named for another hero of Irish legend)and with the main man attached, we're sure someone will want to try to make it.Fassbender was last seen in Haywire, A Dangerous Method and Shame and he'll next crop up in a little film called Prometheus, which can't get here fast enough. We'll still have to wait until June 1, though.

Joe Carnahan to reboot Dying Wish

Joe Carnahan has clearly got an issue for grizzled, take-no-shit leading males in rugged, testosterone-drenched thrillers. While Using Grey presently scoring very decent reviews overall, word is always that Carnahan follows that film tabs on a reboot in the Charles Bronson actioner Dying Wish.Directed by Michael Champion and released in 1974, Dying Wish can be a lower and dirty revenge drama, through which Bronson play a typical individual who turns into a gun-transporting vigilante when his wife is wiped out having a gang of street punks.
