The movie studios are adding blogging to their marketing repertoire: Fox Searchlight Pictures has started it's own blog, foxsearchlight.blogspot.com, to "join this online phenomena" plus innundate people with information about screenings, box office data, interviews, articles in which their releases are mentioned, etc., etc. Part of what's helpful in driving traffic to the blog is the fact that the releases Fox Searchlight has out there right now are actually good, like 28 Days Later and Bend It Like Beckham, and their upcoming films, frothy Merchant-Ivory Le Divorce, nihilistic teen girl movies Thirteen, and Jim Sheridan's long-awaited In America, are definitely intriguing. Also, worth checking out is Fox Searchlight's SearchLab which has Quicktime interviews with directors like Ridley Scott, Mark Romanek, Baz Luhrmann, and Kimberly Peirce. [Via Movie City News]

There might not be anything better than beating the heat with a little zombie action. To make up for their spectacularly misguided adaptation of The Beach, Danny Boyle and Beach writer Alex Garland give a bleak vision of London in 28 Days Later, where mankind is being ravaged by a virus, Ebola with a twist, as the infected turn into zombies that sprint after the uninfected. Meditations on humanity interspersed with vomiting blood and red eyes.
