Fifty years after his debut novel Carrie, Stephen King remains a major name in horror. So when writer/director Gary Dauberman signed on to adapt King’s second novel Salem’s Lot, he made sure to stay faithful to the source. And that fidelity. included keeping the movie in the same decade as the 1975 book. Turns out, that wasn’t much of a challenge. “Most of my stuff is set in the ’70s,” Dauberman told Vanity Fair. “I love the music. I do love the costumes. I just love the vibe of it.”
Salem’s Lot tells the story of writer Ben Mears (Lewis Pullman), who returns to his tiny hometown Jerusalem’s Lot in time to discover that it’s been invaded by vampires. It’s the type of story that works best in the 1970s, before social media and cell phones make it easier to keep tabs on one another...

With its whiter whites and blacker blacks, High Dynamic Range (Hdr) is transforming the way we watch movies. Two recent examples from Technicolor are the Oscar-winning “The Jungle Book” (Best Visual Effects) and “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” (Best Costumes), in which the wider dynamic range heightened the use of color and light.
For Technicolor supervising digital colorist, Peter Doyle, who worked on the “Harry Potter” standalone, he’s become more of a finishing artist, thanks to Hdr and management software advances from FilmLight (watch the video below and also on Vimeo and Technicolor’s YouTube Channel).

With “Fantastic Beasts,” Doyle was able to take advantage of the extra dynamic range to make the experience more visceral. “There was an assortment of characters that would emanate their own light,” he told IndieWire. “It was an intense light source with a physicality to it.

If you’re not watching BBC 2’s gangster western Peaky Blinders, stop reading now and seek it out on iPlayer – there’s still one episode left so you have time to join the party. Peaky Blinders is the slow burning tale of a volatile, family led criminal gang, headed by calculating brother Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy), and their rise to power in post-World War I Birmingham. It does not sound glamorous and it isn’t, yet is all the more compelling for embracing the filthy side of what many considered to be the cusp of the ‘Roaring Twenties’. Not in Birmingham it wasn’t.
Thankfully Peaky Blinders had costume designer Stephanie Collie (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, The Look of Love) on board to recreate this era in, her own words, “a heightened way”. Peaky Blinders is not intended for school history lessons, it’s a ‘Hollywoodised’ vision of 1919 with a TV budget.

The Greenwich Village Folk scene of the early sixties provides the setting for the Coen Brothers’ wonderfully meandering portrait of a struggling folk musician. The folk setting does not define Inside Llewyn Davis (Oscar Isaac) though, Llewyn is in many ways more a representative of artists in general and in particular one struggling to have his life defined by his art and little else.
Hopping from one couch to another in the pursuit of his dream Llewyn depends on the kindness of his friends, and occasionally strangers, but when we meet Llewyn it is clear that their generosity is wearing thin. But what is perhaps the most intriguing aspect of Inside Llewyn Davis is that this is may actually be a continuing state in which his friends inhabit.
The film’s structure is a delicious mix of a linear story and the overarching suggestion that we, with Llewyn, are stuck in some sort of loop.
