"How to Catch a Monster" - Title Change ("Lost River") and Cannes Screening

Ryan Gosling's long-awaited directorial debut, "How to Catch a Monster" starring Matt Smith, has had a recent title change.  The film is now called "Lost River" and it is under this new title that it has been entered in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes Film Festival.

The Un Certain Regard prize was introduced in 1998 to recognise young talent and encourage innovative and daring works.  The section usually presents "original and different" works which seek international recognition.

The Cannes Film Festival runs from 14-25 May 2014.  There is no word yet on whether Matt Smith will be attending the festival.

Matt Smith News: "How to Catch A Monster" Set For October Release?

Remember this?  Our first clue that maybe Matt Smith would shortly be leaving "Doctor Who" was when he was photographed last year on the set of the Ryan Gosling film "How To Catch A Monster".  Since filming finished there's been a severe lack of information surrounding a release date however it seems that this might have just changed.  In an interview on the Urban Outfitters Blog, musician Johnny Jewel (member of "Glass Candy" and "Chromatics") talked about scoring the film and mentioned when it might be released:

The project I'm most excited for outside of the bands is this film I'm scoring that was written by Ryan Gosling How to Catch a Monster. It's his first feature-length as a director. He's not in it. It stars Christina Hendricks, Saorise Ronin, Ben Mendelsohn, and the dude that plays Doctor Who [Matt Smith]. He's crazy, he's the villain. He's really disturbing, and psychotic. He has a shaved head, and he wears this gold lamé jacket and drives around with a beat up chair on top of a convertible in dying Detroit. The soundtrack is incredible. We've been working on it since February. It's gonna come out in October, and it's gonna be really cool. This French cinematographer shot it, so it's absolutely gorgeous if you like beautiful but strange cinema.

As the interview took place over the weekend of 4/5 January 2014 then it's assumed they've been working on the soundtrack since February 2013 and release is due October 2014 - not too far away but worth keeping an eye on various film festivals from Summer onwards.

Thanks to Ryan Gosling Addicted for the heads up on this.

Matt Smith's somewhat radical transformation continues - from shorn hair to some rather good ripped abs - as he continues filming "How to Catch a Monster".  The photos below are courtesy of zimbio.com and splashnewsonline.com and certainly show how Matt's work in the gym has paid off.  As usual, right click and open in new tab/window for larger versions.
