While Fright Night holds tight to its official trailer the Wholly New Mexico film that’s destined for a limited release before hitting the DVD bin and Netflix circuit makes a great showing in this theatrical trailer!
Wily willed co-star Mickey Rourke made headlines last week yo-yoing between trashing the flick and reneging to reining-in powerful statements made about his leading lady, the lovely Megan Fox.
Last week Rourke told peeps at a Hollywoo party that PP is just a “terrible, terrible movie” and then later dropped the cool waters of ‘you ain’t all that’ on his previous statements about Fox being one of the most talented actresses of all time, by reemphasizing, “that I’ve worked with” then allegedly adding the patented Mickey Rourke f-you smirk that keeps us all coming back for more no matter what revision of his face we’re confronted with.
Here’s Mick’s rebuttal to the mag that printed his less than stellar review of Passion Play:
“Hey, guys. When I talked to you, I was at a party. It was loud and crowded, I was in a shitty mood and I was trying to get rid of your reporter. Mitch (the director of the movie) is one of my best friends since we were kids. I loved working with him and would do it again tomorrow. I don’t know why I said that stupid shit. I love Mitch, I love Megan. My bad.”
Congrats to all our talented locals that worked on this epic saga!
And whilst we wait to see the official Fright Night trailer here’s what the star of that flick said in front of a crowed screening the film to stick his foot in his gorgeous mouth over his latest Wholly New Mexico Movie:
“Meself, as a fan of the original, it doesn’t change. I don’t think I’ll have a copy of this version in my library, but I have the original at home…” – Colin Farrell
Later explaining to EW “What I meant was [I wouldn't own it] because I’m in the f-ing thing!” He said he cringes when he watches himself. “It’s always uncomfortable.”
Stir that pot boys! Keep ‘em talking, get ‘em watching! Go New Mexico Film! And now if you need a warm fuzzy, mosey on over to the eloquence of sexy Olivia Wilde’s love letter to NM here.
UPDATE 3/12/11: Now Perez says Passion will see limited big screen action on May 6 prior to the DVD/Blu-ray roll-out!
A fave amongst locals who’ve worked on her New Mexico flicks, Megan Fox’s latest film may only see silver screens of Toronto where it debuted last fall.
According to the news, and by news I mean Perez Hilton and Michael K. the Jennifer’s Body starlet’s latest film will be going direct to DVD.
This Wholly New Mexico film has one supremely creepy movie poster. Love it?
The forthcoming redux of the Swedish horror Let The Right One In by Hammer films is one bloody NM production. Let Me In premiered last night at the Toronto Film Festival.
The Wholly New Mexico film Passion Play also premiered to some harsh reviews last night in Toronto – but it seems that Bill Murray manages to win high praise overall.
Mayhaps pre-come wide(r) release we will get to roll out the red & yellow for our own NM premieres of these flicks…
Yesterday – It’s been many, many yesterdays since we’ve been telling you that Robert Pattinson would soon hit Nuevo México and it looks like he’s been tippy-toeing around. The face that regularly launches tweens and house fraus alike into a manic frenzy was spotted in the City Different (Santa Fe) over the weekend. He and his co-stars in the forthcoming Unbound Captives are likely prize candidates for ushering in the new dawn of Paparazzi scouting going on in NM…
Today – It is official that the eagerly awaited Passion Play starring Mickey Rourke, Megan Fox, Rhys Ifans, Bill Murray, Kelly Lynch will make its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival this month (Sept. 9-19).
Mañana – It is being reported that Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage will star in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s upcoming Bollywood gangster movie Broken Horses coming soon to New Mexico. As we have previously published Mickey Rourke is also slated to star.

Double timing it in the cool of the Southwest Winter – Here’s Megan Fox filming in ABQ yesterday.
After having her cute tail chased by fire in the desert for the 2009 release of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the Golden Tumbleweed nominee covers up and looks more chilly than icy shooting scenes for Passion Play with Mickey Rourke
Meg is fighting it out in the race for the first Golden Tumbleweed Fave Actress category, currently in second place behind a three way between Amy Adams, Charlize Theron and Natilie Portman for topsies.
Yesterday – Available on DVD, from the Apatow juggernaut Year One is an unsung (adult) comedy with surprisingly sweeping NM scenes including the hilarity of McLovin & Chief Wiggum/Apu at Tent Rocks, Juggernaut as a Roman in White Sands, Tobias at the Rio Grand and so much more.
Today – Megan Fox is currently in and around NM towns shooting the upcoming thriller Passion Play with fellow animal lover Rourke.
Getting through a scare with her own pooch last week the animalisticactress missed an appearance but donated her dough to a local, non-profit, wild-life rescue zoo.
As we reported here in January Oscar winner Mickey Rourke is scheduled to film Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Broken Horses here in New Mexico for release in 2010.
Passion Play will surely raise some blood pressure this Winter as it’s been confirmed that Jennifer’s Body vamp Megan Fox will co-star. Shooting is scheduled for October – December in Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
