Cine-Lit

"Do you like scary movies?" In 1996 people didn't until Scream came along and reignited a stale mainstream horror scene. Birthing not just 3 sequels and a spinoff television series Scream also brought the slasher film into the 90s with a string of slashers filling cinema screens. Now in 2022, as the franchise is getting a sequel/relaunch with a new film, Cine-Lit delves into its history ahead of the latest appearance of Ghostface.

Just in time for Robert Rodriguez's entry into the Star Wars universe with new Boba Fett series, Cine-Lit takes a look at the birth of Rodriguez's career and the trilogy that established him as a Hollywood director. We look at the lengths Rodriguez went to scramble together the $7000 dollar budget for El Mariachi, to becoming part of a cool indie cinema clique with Quentin Tarantino in the mid 90s, launching the Hollywood careers of Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek before rounding off his trilogy with Once Upon A Time In Mexico (2003), co-starring Johnny Depp.

As cinemas are currently revisiting the early 90s with Pablo Larrain's Spencer, we thought it would be a good time to take a look at the genre of the Biopic. A perennial favourite with filmmakers, audiences and Oscar voters, the Biopic is a unique genre of cinema that casts its net over the wealth of human experience, and includes lots of famous people playing other famous people.
