Kate Hudson and Casey Affleck in THE KILLER INSIDE ME, which comes out tomorrow.
THE KILLER INSIDE ME, Michael Winterbottom’s extremely violent new film to be released in theaters tomorrow, is reportedly so harrowing that Jessica Alba (one of the stars of the film) walked out of a screening. “So put off was she by the unlikely sight of herself being beaten by Casey Affleck,” says SLATE writer James Verini (more). But who, really, could blame the girl, since another character described her onscreen face after the beating as “stewed meat, hamburger.” Needless to say, THE KILLER INSIDE ME has been a divisive film since it first aired at Sundance in January (more).

Four hundred protesters gathered last Friday in downtown Manhattan to protest the city’s advances toward regulating and restricting filmmaking in the streets of NYC. The proposal states that anyone creating film or still photography involving a tripod and a crew of 5 or more persons (at one site for 10 or more minutes) would require a permit, and anyone obtaining a permit must carry $1 million in liability insurance. As Agnes Vardum of INDIEWIRE explains, “Others are worried less about getting a permit than what may happen if the police have the ability to stop anyone with a camera for violating these new permit rules" (more).
