Ben Wheatley's Morals Stop Him from Acting Like His Characters

Earlier this year, VICE Films and Grolsch Film Works teamed up with the directors Harmony Korine, Alexey Fedorchenko and Jan Kwiecinski to make a three-part film called The Fourth Dimension. Now, Grolsch Film Works have a new website where you can find out what they’ve been up to and read/watch interesting stuff about films. Every week we'll be plucking the highlights. This is that.

For fans of early ‘90s dream pop and shoegaze bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, this essential-looking documentary couldn’t come any sooner. While we were intrigued when we first heard about it, it's fair to say, after seeing this trailer, we won't rest comfortably until we've seen it.

Until now, that is.

In the making since 2009, director F. Gary Gray (Friday, The Negotiator) seems to be revving up the pace of the film, which is named after the group’s seminal debut album, Straight Outta Compton. Universal Pictures are already eying it up, so presumably there's some tasty, fresh N.W.A. meat up in there to chew on.

Changing gear somewhat, Wheatley then teamed up with Edgar Wright (as Executive Producer), Alice Lowe and Steve Oram (as writers and stars) to direct the hilarious black comedy Sightseers, which follows two lovebirds who embark on a murderous rampage through the Yorkshire Dales. We got the inside scoop from Mr. Wheatley himself.

The title of a film should be the icing on the cake of all the hard work; a catchy collection of words to capture the attention of the audience and sum up the essence of the work. Alas, it doesn’t always go to plan. Here are ten of our favourite crazy movie titles. Some are long-winded, some are hilarious, and others are just plain terrible. Enjoy.
