Again, much as the trend has been throughout this year, news on Chloë have died down for the time being. So instead, we thought this might be an appropriate time to start updating the site with some new media that we confess we’ve been sitting on for a while (yes, we’ve been slacking — also, we’ve been out of town).

Today, the media archive has been updated with 9 site-exclusive video clips of Chloë Sevigny’s portrayal of military psychologist Emily Reilly in the Jonathan Liebesman-directed indie thriller, The Killing Room, which was released on Region 1 and 2 DVD earlier this Fall. The Killing Room co-stars Timothy Hutton, Nick Cannon, Peter Stormare and Clea DuVall, and depicts a highly controversial secret government experiment on a group of volunteers, unaware of what kind of an experiment they have really signed up for. Hope you enjoy!

All video clips are in .MOV format, which is playable in e.g. VLC and QuickTime. Please remember you must be a registered and logged in media archive user to access our collection of video clips; unlogged users will not be able to view said material. Registration at our media archive is free and only takes a moment. Thank you.

It’s been a while since we had any news on the Jonathan Liebesman-directed thriller, The Killing Room, starring Chloë Sevigny opposity Nick Cannon, Timothy Hutton, Peter Stormare and Clea DuVall. This month, however, European fans of Chloë are in luck as the Region 2/European DVD for the film was released on August 17 2009, and is currently available for purchase at roughly £8 at Amazon.co.uk. I already ordered my copy!

North American fans unfortunately have to wait a while yet, as according to Amazon.com the Region 1/North American DVD is not scheduled for release until October 13 2009. Sorry! The DVD is nevertheless available for pre-order on the website at the price of $14.

Finally, check out the cover art for the film’s US DVD release at our gallery, and watch the trailer for the film, as embedded below:

As most of you will already know, Jonathan Liebesman’s psychological thriller The Killing Room, in which Chloë stars as behavioral analysis expert Emily Reilly opposite Peter Stormare, Nick Cannon, Timothy Hutton and Clea DuVall, premiered yesterday at the ongoing Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT. The first reviews are already trickling in online, and they are coming in rather mixed, albeit generally favorable.

While the most notably negative review came from Variety, it is also thus far the only film site to have expressed outright disdain for the film, whereas other sources have remained positive on the film and it’s potential as a commercial success. HitFlix also mentions Chloë’s performance, of which they remained appreciative, if not excited. Check out some excerpts from posted reviews below:

From HitFlix.com:

The Killing Room doesn’t leaven the punches with anything like a light moment, it’s tougher going. The acting is solid from everyone, with Hutton proving to be the real stand-out. It’s nice to see Sevigny playing a lead, and she’s absolutley up for the challenge. She’s the one who is supposedly the audience’s sympathetic entry point, so several of the choices she makes really push the audience. What would you do? Would you make the choices she does? And even if you wouldn’t, can you understand why she does?

Ahoy, y’all! Jonathan Liebesman’s psychological thriller The Killing Room, in which Chloë Sevigny stars as military psychologist Ms. Reilly opposite Nick Cannon, Peter Stormare, Timothy Hutton, Shea Whigham and Clea DuVall, premieres today at the ongoing Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT. Photos from the premiere are beginning to trickle in online — fingers crossed Chloë is attending the event!

Update: So far, Nick Cannon, Jonathan Liebesman and Shea Whigham have been spotted and photographed at the event, however as of yet, no sign of Chloë.

Update Jan 17: Unfortunately, judging by the unavailability of photos it would seem Chloë did not attend this event. What a shame!

The most valuable asset any country can attain is control of the human mind.

The people at FirstShowing.net have put up the first poster for Jonathan Liebesman’s upcoming psychological thriller The Killing Room (2009), starring Chloë Sevigny, Nick Cannon, Peter Stormare and Chloë’s Zodiac co-star Clea DuVall. The site also reveals some additional moderately spoilerific details on the film, which are definitely worth a read if you’re interested in the movie. Spoiler-phobes should, in fact, turn away now. From FirstShowing.net:

[Synopsis:] As a group, they are presented with a series of questions and a finite window of time by which each of them must submit a unique numerical answer. Presumably the subject who is furthest from the correct response will be “removed” from the experiment. They soon come to realize that, in this lethal psychological game, the correct answer is not always the right one. Behind the scenes, the mysterious and brooding Dr. Phillips (Stormare) deviously pulls the strings as the most recent addition to his team, military psychologist Ms. Reilly (Sevigny), is emotionally torn by her first assignment.

The Killing Room is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, of Darkness Falls and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning previously. The screenplay was co-written by first-time writer Gus Krieger and Ann Peacock (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Kit Kittredge: An American Girl, Nights in Rodanthe). The film will be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January where it will be looking for a US distributor. Expect to hear plenty more about The Killing Room in 2009!

Personally, I am so very excited for this film! Don’t forget to check back with us for more information on Chloë’s involvement in The Killing Room, including reviews and Sundace Film Festival premiere coverage, this upcoming January! Finally, Happy New Year 2009, y’all!

At last, things are making progress with Chloë film-wise! ShockTillYouDrop.com has the first four medium-res promotional stills from Jonathan Liebesman’s upcoming thriller The Killing Room, at least two — and possibly three — of which feature Chloë! If you’re a spoiler-phobe, however, you might want to skip the second still. Check them all out at our gallery! From ShockTillYouDrop.com:

Following the success of Platinum Dunes’ Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, director Jonathan Liebesman flirted with a number of projects including the upcoming Friday the 13th before Marcus Nispel was brought in.

Liebesman ultimately decided to helm The Killing Room by screenwriters Gus Krieger (a newcomer) and Ann Peacock (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). The film was shot in Shreveport, Louisiana with actors Nick Cannon, Clea DuVall, Timothy Hutton, Meade Patton and Chloë Sevigny. And, as reported yesterday, Liebesman’s latest – about four folks roped into an extreme psychological research study sanctioned by the government – is a Sundance entry (out of competition).

There hasn’t really been much news on Chloë’s current and upcoming projects, so I thought I’d post a quick round-up of what’s coming up for our favorite actress. Kicking things off with…

… a potential new project for Chloë! Women’s Wear Daily reports Chloë recently mentioned in an interview an upcoming film in which she stars alongside Patrick Wilson and Judy Greer. I haven’t been able to find any additional information on this film yet, but here’s to hoping it’s true! From WWD.com:

Chloë Sevigny, who kicked off her DJ set at Colette over the weekend with The Cramps, said she was heading back to the States to resume shooting Big Love, as well as a new film also starring Patrick Wilson and Judy Greer. She was shy about details, but said it’s set in the present day and her character is “kind of sassy, which is good, because I never get to be sexy!”

If you read the above excerpt, you will also know that Big Love has resumed Season 3 filming in the U.S. as the WGA writers’ strike ended some weeks back. Yay! The third season of the series will premiere on HBO sometime this summer.

And finally some tidbits: Peter and Catherine seems to have been indefinitely postponed, and the film has been removed from Chloë’s IMDb filmography so I’m not entirely sure what’s the film’s current status. If anyone knows something about this, please get in touch! Thank you. Meanwhile, The Killing Room has moved into post-production, and there’s still no word as to the rumor we had some time back about Chloë’s potential role in Terminator 4. We’ll keep you posted!
