Screenplay, Tribble.With: Kevin Sorbo, Bruce Davison, Johnny Alonso, Sunny Doench, Patrick Barnitt, Kipp Tribble, Derik Wingo, Moksha McPherrin, Andrena Senola Johnson, Luke Barnett.Though its premise and title make no secret of "Coffin's" indebtedness to last year's "Buried," this barrel-bottom suspenser more closely resembles an unsuccessful "Law & Order" spec script, inflated to feature length by some stock horror tropes. The film's clearly limited means are no excuse for the way it applies such painfully languid energy to a real-time ticking-clock thriller, and its only chances for marginal attention will rely on the high billing given to supporting players Kevin Sorbo and Bruce Davison. Pic opens as businessman Jack (Patrick Barnitt) arrives home, where a masked baddie named Trick (Johnny Alonso) shows him a live video feed of his estranged wife (Sunny Doench) and her lover (Sorbo) trapped together in a pinewood box. The windy kidnapper dispenses a bit of Jigsaw-style moralizing before offering to reveal their location for a pricey sum; meanwhile, a pair of bickering odd-couple cops (co-helmers Derik Wingo and Kipp Tribble) follow their trail. Some possibly intentional metatextual humor creeps through -- Doench's character is described as a B-movie actress, while the mincingly unthreatening Trick is called a "real pro" -- but there's otherwise nothing much to see here.Camera (color, DV), Keiko Nakahara; editor, George Maranville; music, Roger Ryan, Jason Gaines; production designer, Gary Jones.

Meet the "Hipster Cop" of the Occupy Wall Street Protests

Rick Lee: Wall Street Protest Hipster Cop Hipster and cop are two words that don't usually go together. But at the Occupy Wall Street protests in NY, the two words have become synonymous with a plainclothes NYPD detective named Rick Lee. Why is he known in the blogosphere as "The Hipster Cop" you ask? Because he can be seen sporting fashion brands like Ralph Lauren and J. Crew every day on the protest lines (his best friend works at Ralph Lauren, natch) as part of his style that he describes to GQ as "traditional English country." Catch up on today's latest news "This is how I always dress. I've always been into fashion. Since high school," he says. "Since I got my first job and was able to buy my own clothes. Though maybe I'll wear a top hat to work tomorrow." Lee admits his clothes isn't exactly what most people associate with policemen, but since he serves as a liaison between the community and the precinct, his sophisticated sense of style has helped (even if he gets teased about it "a bit" by co-workers down at the station). "When they see that I dress kinda cool, wear thin ties, look trendy, it breaks a lot of walls down initially to get the bridge building started. It actually works," he says. "People go, 'Wow! You wear Burberry. You wear Ralph Lauren. That's cool.'" It doesn't help that - according to Lee - TV hasn't really accurately portrayed cops since the '70s series Barney Miller. "That's as close as it comes. Otherwise I watch Mad Men, I watch Boardwalk Empire. I watch the History Channel a lot. That's more my thing."

Pic has some redeeming features, like its glossy, fashion-shoot-inspired black-and-white look, and a clutch of respectable perfs among some very poor ones from the toothsome young cast, but the script is a mess, the characters barely sympathetic. Only niche auds are likely to get high on this. Bony clotheshorse Alice (Antonia Campbell Hughes, pretty good) longs to transition from model to actress, but is hobbled by a staggering lack of talent, revealed in a droll audition scene. She spends much of her time hanging out with her rich, super stylish friends like sassy Saskia (Daisy Lewis), flaky Lulu (Jay Choi) and needy Suzi (Amber Anderson) and their assorted boyfriends, and has an on-off relationship with junkie Charlie (Johnny Flynn, another standout, along with Lewis). Action fluctuates between ultimately monotonous semi-improvised scenes of the kids partying hard and hoary melodrama that reaches a preposterous climax.Camera (B&W, Super 16-to-35mm, widescreen), Gareth Munden; editor, Bert Hunger, Emer Reynolds; music, Birger Clausen; production designer, Richard Hudson; art director, Noam Piper; costume designer, Ruth Higginbotham.

World War Z Faces Real Gun Drama

Anti-terrorist team raids weapon storeWhile the action in front of the camera of Brad Pitt's latest, World War Z, revolves around people running away from/killing nasty undead types, the drama behind it is turning out to be just as intense. The latest incident? A batch of weapons that had been planned for use by the production has been confiscated by Hungarian authorities as part of an anti-terrorism mission. And the real problem with the guns? Turns out that instead of the safely neutralised examples that would avoid anyone getting hurt, the shooters were still very much in working order. "This morning a private plane brought guns wrapped in a parcel from a company to an individual [in Budapest," said Hajdu Janos, director of the Anti-Terrorism Unit in a statement picked up by the Heat Vision Blog. "Guns like these are highly illegal to transport even if they were used as stage guns, which hopefully they weren't." Whoops doesn't really begin to cover it...It's not the first issue to have befallen to adaptation of Max Brook's sprawling zombie conflict tome. Fans of the book have already complained about the script's shift to a more proactive storyline which finds Pitt's UNworker now knee-deep in battling the undead menace. Plus, according to Us Weekly, the film, with Marc Forster at the helm, is now over budget and behind schedule after having already shot in Glasgow. Pitt is reportedly "furious" though we'll be taking that one with a hefty serving of salt since Us Weekly isn't exactly known for the searing accuracy in its reporting on any celebrity issue...

Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore Bring Awareness to Breast Cancer in Lifetimes FIVE

Jeanne Tripplehorn and Patricia Clarkson For Jeanne Tripplehorn, her role in FIVE served as a reminder. "A few months ago I got a phone call saying that Jennifer [Aniston] and Marta [Kauffman, co-creator of Friends] were doing the project and I immediately said yes," says Tripplehorn. "When we started filming, I realized that I hadn't had a mammogram in two years. So I rushed out to get one immediately. My wish is that when people see this film, it will remind them to do the same." Doing its part for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Lifetime is giving us FIVE (Monday, 9/8c) . The quintet of five short films was directed by Aniston, Demi Moore, Alicia Keys, Patty Jenkins and Penelope Spheeris. About 20 minutes each, the stories - with stars including Tripplehorn, Rosario Dawson, Ginnifer Goodwin and Patricia Clarkson - deal with the emotional roller coaster that breast cancer patients and their families endure. The women's stories run the gamut; among them: Cheyanne (Lyndsy Fonseca), an exotic dancer who can't bear the thought of a mastectomy, and Mia (Clarkson), who decides to host a funeral for herself before her death. Photo gallery: Jennifer Aniston through the years Tripplehorn plays Pearl, the one character tying the five tales together. She read books about the disease and spoke with several oncologists who specialize in breast cancer treatment. But the actress believes it was Clarkson who had the most difficult job, playing the role of Mia (in the short directed by Aniston). "She wasn't eating. She had to go from looking healthy to really sick in a matter of four or five days. But she really kept her spirits up." For Clarkson, whose character is facing Stage 4 breast cancer, the challenge was what inspired her to be a part of it. "It was brutal," she says. "There were scenes where my chest was bound so tightly I could barely breathe. But I have to preface that by saying, I'm an actress playing someone with cancer. I'm a very lucky person. I'm not actually going through the disease. And I have witnessed it firsthand with family members and friends." Who are Hollywood's highest paid actresses? Clarkson credits Aniston (also the film's executive-producer) for evoking her performance. "I could never have done this without Jennifer. She's a fiercely gifted director," Clarkson says. "She brought her energy to it, and I brought my energy ... It was beautifully written and funny as hell." Fonseca, whose Cheyanne is married to Tommy (The Vampire Diaries' Taylor Kinney), explains that her stripper character "believes that her self-worth is what she makes a living off of, that her body is what makes her beautiful. And the relationship she has with her husband is a very sexualized relationship, kind of a young, passionate couple. She gets diagnosed with breast cancer and has to get a double mastectomy and it kind of shatters her world completely. It's a journey of her having to dig deeper and realize that she is not her body and that the love that she has with her husband is real." The actress hopes that a younger audience will be curious about her character and tune in to be touched by the story and her co-star's powerful performance. "It's just such a moving story, and Taylor is so good," she says. "There's one scene that he has with David Eigenberg and he just breaks down crying in the car parking lot. I was watching it being filmed and I started crying too. I walked to him and was like, 'It's OK!'" Photo gallery: Demi Moore through the years About one out of every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their life, and the film aims to raise awareness of that statistic. "Far too many women are dying of this," says Clarkson. "They've made quite a few advances, but not enough, honestly. We have to keep moving forward. We've got to keep it in the daily conversation. There's not a person that has not been touched by this disease. It's personal to everyone, and it's touched all of us." Watch the trailer for FIVE: Five airs Monday at 9/8c on Lifetime.

John Wayne: The Duke's Private World

This story first appeared in the Oct. 14 issue of The Hollywood Reporter. our editor recommendsJohn Wayne Auction Brings in $5.4 Million Phil Stern first photographed John Wayne just before World War II, beginning a lifelong friendship. Stern, a native NYer, had come to Hollywood in the late 1930s to pursue photography, and except for his years in the Army in the '40s -- during which he became a war hero -- he continued to shoot stars for top magazines of the era, including Life, Look and Photoplay. He captured such legends as James Dean and Marilyn Monroe at the height of their stardom. PHOTOS: John Wayne: The Duke's Private World "I decided at an early age I wanted to get into the media," Stern, now 93, told The Hollywood Reporter during a visit to his home. "It was an exciting concept." His photographs are avidly exhibited and collected, and his work is on display at the new Phil Stern Gallery, which his son Peter opened in January at 601 S. Los Angeles St. in downtown L.A. On Oct. 5, the gallery began a new show, John Wayne: Between Scenes, and Stern is planning on attending the opening reception. David Fahey of L.A.'s Fahey/Klein Gallery puts Stern in a class by himself: "He really photographed behind the scenes. People like Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, James Dean, Marlon Brando -- stars who typically were very closely guarded and not forthcoming with the press -- trusted Phil. He was one of the few allowed to photograph their children. Phil is a real, authentic individual, and they picked up on that." Stern continued to shoot pictures of Wayne through the '70s, up to the actor's illness and death in 1979. His photographs of Wayne, the Duke's pals and family attest to the trust between photographer and his subject. THR has the exclusive photos of Wayne, both in front of the camera and in his private life. Related Topics John Wayne
