CHRIS MARTINI:" (FEATURE FILM) DECEMBER RIOTS IS IMPORTANT, TIMELY...A DRAMATIC TALE THAT IS BOTH HORRIFYING AND THOUGHT-PROVOKING"....

"December Riots is important, timely, and hits it's mark. Acclaimed Greek-born filmmaker Dimitri Vorris has beautifully interwoven fact and fiction, to create a dramatic tale, that is both horrifying and thought-provoking".  

Christopher Martini 
Director-Producer "The Stone Child" , "Trooper"

«The film is neither a documentary, nor a re-enactment, it's a comment on violence regardless of the aggressor and the victim, and a comment on a decadent country that is collapsing ».
Dimitra Aiginiti , PROTO THEMA

"... the wandering into the labyrinthine maze  of  a (real life) thriller, that... became emblematic of a generation of teenagers flooding the streets...”.

"...years after the murder in cold blood of Alexandros Gregoropoulos from the gun of the special police guard Epameinodas Korkoneas his untimely death becomes a movie"...
REAL NEWS




"...the film's director was trapped in a subterranean arthouse movie theater along with other filmgoers, Greek and foreigners. That incident became the inspiration for the feature film December Riots, a claustrophobic thriller using burned-down Athens as the background”.

BREAKINGWalter Hill, who most recently wrapped the Sylvester Stallone-starrer Bullet To The Head, has partnered with The Aldrich Company to develop a remake of the 1962 Bette Davis-Joan Crawford classic What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? Hill will write the script and direct the film. The original was directed and produced by Robert Aldrich, with Lukas Heller adapting the Henry Farrell novel.
Walter Hill What Ever Happened To Baby Jane?Warner Bros will release Bullet To The Head in February and Hill sparked to the idea of re-creating the nightmarish relationship between two sisters in a crumbling Hollywood mansion, where former child star Jane Hudson (Davis) holds captive her crippled former movie-queen sister (Crawford). “The two equal leads demand great performers — that is a given,” Hill said. “The intensity of the Gothic storyline makes a reconfiguration of the drama still a potentially searing experience. The idea is to make a modern film without modernizing the period. It needs to resonate the golden age of Hollywood.”

REDDIT FOUNDER UNDERSTANDS BETTER THE POWER OF THE FREEDOM OF THE OPEN INTERNET


I have been fascinated by Reddit for a while, but I can’t say that I really get it. Anarchic, strange and un-designed—like a Craigslist of ideas—I find stuff there occasionally, but I am not an actual Redditor.
Reddit gained a lot of visibility as the staging area for the remarkably successful protests against the remarkably short-sighted SOPA/PIPA legislation, and it is bound to be a significant force in battling CISPA and whatever else challenges the sovereignty of the free internet down the road. But what has really clued me in to what the site—and the values it represents—are all about, are these videos of founder Alexis Ohanian just published on the THNKR channel on YouTube.
