IFC Films and Shudder have set an April 18 release date for The Ugly Stepsister, a dark reimagining of the “Cinderella” story with a gory body horror slant that finds Lea Myren (pictured above) doing whatever it takes to be beautiful to claim Prince Charming from her gorgeous stepsister.
“Yellowstone” stunner Kelsey Asbille joins an all-star cast for Brian McGreevy’s (“Hemlock Grove”) feature directorial debut The Technique, a psychological thriller costarring Emma Roberts (The Blackcoat’s Daughter), Laura Harrier (Spider-man: Homecoming), Noomi Rapace (Rupture), and Nicholas Alexander Chavez (“Monsters”).
Story details are mum, but our years of industry insiders tells us Asbille will be playing a hot chick in the film.
Asbille cut her teeth in 2005 with a recurring role on The CW’s coming-of-age drama “One Tree Hill” and most recently costarred on the hit Paramount western drama “Yellowstone.” Last year, she toplined the Sam Raimi produced cat-and-mouse thriller Don’t Move for Netflix.
If Twilight Saga alumna Ashley Greene is what you’re hungry for, we are pleased to whet your appetite with a trailer for Productivity Media Inc’s supernatural thriller It Feeds, releasing in theaters in April.
Greene plays a hot and clairvoyant shrink sought out by a young girl who desperately needs her help to stop the demonic entity eating her alive.
Greene, best known for playing Edward’s hot little adopted sister in the Twilight Saga, has starred in a string of failed frighteners, some understandably so and some not so much, including Joe Dante’s Burying the Ex with knockout costar Alexandria Daddario, Donkey Punch director Oliver Blackburn’s Kristy, psychological thriller The Immaculate Room, and The Apparition. She plays a hot nun in this year’s The Ritual.
“White Lotus” stunner Michelle Monaghan is set to star in the upcoming Netflix Original The Whisper Man, a serial killer drama helmed by James Ashcroft (The Rule of Jenny Pen) from a script penned by Ben Jacoby (First Omen) and Chase Palmer (IT), adapted from the best-seller by author Alex North.
The Whisper Man is a convicted serial killer whose lore haunts a widowed crime novelist (Adam Scott) when his child is abducted and he seeks help from his estranged father, a former police detective (Robert De Niro). Monaghan plays the hot missing kids detective on the case.
Monaghan currently stars on the third season of the hit Max series “White Lotus.” Prior to that, she was best known for playing Ethan Hunt’s wife/ex-wife in the Mission Impossible series. Other notable roles include sci-fi actioner Source Code, tech-thriller Eagle Eye, Ben Affleck’s directorial debut Gone Baby Gone, Ti West’s porn-horror sequel Maxxxine, and a butt-flashing turn on season one of HBO’s “True Detective.”
Season two of Max’s “The Last of Us” returns April 13. New trailer footage reveals tension between Pedro Pascal’s Joel and Bella Ramsey’s Ellie while providing a look at new players Jeffrey Wright (“Westworld”) as Washington Liberation leader Isaac, Kaitlyn Dever (“Last Man Standing”) as vengeful soldier Abby Anderson, and Peruvian stunner Isabela Merced (Alien: Romulus) as Ellie’s hot, lesbian love interest, Dina.
Jagged Edge Productions, the twisted minds behind Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, have released a trailer for Bambi: The Reckoning, a horrific, live-action re-imagining of Disney’s animated classic about a young buck who loses its mother to hunters.
Stunner Roxanne Mckee stars as a hot milf trying to keep her son and herself safe while being hunted by a vengeful deer out for blood. Mckee is best known for her portrayal of Doreah, handmaid to Dothraki queen Daenerys Targaryen on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
The sexy canuck has also starred in Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, Syfy’s “Dominion,” a day-of-reckoning series based on Screen Gems 2010 Paul Bettany vehicle Legion, the British lesbian drama “Lip Service,” and the sexy, long-running teen soap “Hollyoaks.”
Magnolia Pictures has released a trailer for The Assessment, a sci-fi thriller about a nice woman attempting to keep ungrateful and unaware couples from making the biggest mistake of their lives. Music video helmer Fleur Fortuné makes her feature directorial debut with the film, releasing in theaters March 21 and on digital media April 8.
Set in dystopian future where parenthood must be approved by the government, Academy award winner Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl) plays an assessor who determines who can have children after a seven day trial in which she pretends to be the applicants’ baby.
Elizabeth Olsen (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) and Himesh Patel (Tenet) play the clueless wanna-be parents who struggle during the trial and grow weary of Vikander’s character despite the fact that she’s desperately trying to help them. Parents in the audience will wish someone like Vikander had taken the time to warn them.
Vikander won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her role in The Danish Girl, but is best known for playing a smaller-chested Lara Croft in 2018’s Tomb Raiderremake and Ava, the sexy android in A.I. thriller Ex Machina, featured in Clatto’s list of The Sexiest Horror Films of 2015. She’s also starred in the awesome, but overlooked, Man From U.N.C.L.E. remake and Jason Bourne.
Olsen, who has played Scarlet Witch in a bunch of Marvel crap, can be seen in Gareth Edwards’ 2014 Godzilla reboot and Spike Lee’s American remake of South Korean director Park Chan-wook’s classic revenge-thriller Oldboy. She’s also starred in the critically acclaimed indie-drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, Open Road’s American remake of the Uruguayan frightener Silent House, and Rodrigo Cortes’ Red Lights.
Busty Hungarian starlet Nikolett Barabas has appeared in A Good Day to Die Hard, Ridley Scott’s The Martian, and last year’s Casey Affleck sci-fi thriller Slingshot. While the roles were small, that’s still pretty impressive for someone starring in a “Last of Us” knockoff.
Silent Zone tells the story of a teen and an old dude fighting off the undead during a zombie apocalypse. Details about Barabas’ role are unknown, but we’re pretty sure she’s the hot zombie in the trailer.
Vertigo Releasing has unleashed a trailer for Gator Creek, a mostly hot girls vs. gators survival thriller from the producers of the 2017 shark thriller 47 Meters Downand its 2019 sequel 47 Meters Down: Uncaged, arriving on digital March 24.
