AV Pictures has released a teaser-trailer for director Dan Turner’s military-themed paranormal thriller Stormhouse. Katie Flynn, best known for falling out of Jane Seymore’s vagina 29 years ago, stars in the film alongside“Hollyoaks” player Grant Master.
The film’s synopsis reads:
Six months before the invasion of Iraq, the British military caught and imprisoned a supernatural entity at a secret base in the English countryside. This film documents the days that followed, culminating in a battle that transcends their worst nightmares.
Stormhouse will hold its world premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival in June.
Magnet Films has released a trailer for director Carl Tibbitts’ feature film debut Retreat. Set in the U.K., the thriller stars Thandie Newton and Cillian Murphy as a troubled couple tormented while vacationing on a remote island by a shifty soldier (Jaime Bell) who swears the mainland is infected by an airborne disease.
Sony Pictures is distributing the film in the U.S., but there is no word on when it will hit theaters. If you need a Newton fix, however, you can catch the 38-year-old babe in Brad Anderson’s (Session 9) post-apocalyptic chiller The Vanishing on 7th Street, now available on DVD!
Zoe Saldana is one pissed off mamasita in producer/writer Luc Besson’s (La Femme Nikita) new revenge-thriller Colombiana. The 32-year-old stunner plays an assassin out to slaughter the pricks who murdered her family in front of her when she was just ten.
Peep it:
Colombiana is directed by Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3) and costars Michael Vartan (”Alias”), Lennie James (”The Walking Dead”), Callum Blue (”Dead Like Me”), Jordi Molla (Knight and Day), and Monica Acosta (Scream of the Banshee).
British model Lucy Pinder and her eye-popping 32-E’s are set to make their feature film debut in director Jonathan Glendening’s (13 HRS) outrageous new thriller Strippers vs. Werewolves. The 27-year-old sexpot will play a bloodthirsty vampire bride out to torment a vamp hunter.
Believe it or not, someone actually wrote a script for Strippers vs. Werewolves. The story, apparently, centers on a group of lap dancers as they fend off a pack of lycans determined to turn everyone in the champagne room into doggy chow.
Costarring in the film are Barbara Nedeljekova (Hostel), Sarah Douglas (Return of the Living Dead 3), Adele Silva (Doghouse), and Billy Murray (Airborne). Jonathan Sothcott (Devil’s Playground) will handle producing duties.
Lionsgate has released the first red-band trailer for director Marcus Nispel’s Conan, a reboot of the 1982 sword-and-sorcery classic that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Hollywood career. The remake stars Stephen Lang, Ron Pearlman, Rose McGowan, Rachel Nichols and “Stargate: Atlantis” and “Game of Thrones” regular Jason Momoa as the iconic barbarian.
“Californication’s” Natascha McElhone is starring opposite Ed Harris (The Abyss) and Andy Garcia (Smokin’ Aces) in writer/director Todd Robinson’s supernatural submarine thriller Phantom. The film centers on a Soviet sub captain who discovers a paranormal force on board that could “impact the unsuspecting world.”
The film marks McElhone return to horror since starring in the 2002 internet-themed frightener FeardotCom. That same year, she was also seen in Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi snoozer Solaris. The 41-year-old looker, however, is best known for her role as Karen van der Beek, Hank Moody’s (David Duchovny) ex-wife, on Showtime’s awesome dramedy “Californication.”
Phantom will be shopped to distributors at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
Mila Kunis and Mark Wahlberg were photographed today as they shot a scene for “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane’s debut film Ted at Charlie’s Sandwich Shoppe in Boston. The supernatural comedy tells the tale of a man (Wahlberg) who is tormented by his childhood teddy bear 25 years after it comes to life.
The film costars Laura Vandervoort (“Smallville”), Jessica Stroup (“90210”), Joel McHale (”Community”), Giovanni Ribisi (Avatar), and Patrick Warburton (Men in Black 2). Universal Pictures will release Ted in theaters on July 13, 2012.
Fox has released a full-length trailer for its Steven Spielberg-produced time travel adventure series “Terra Nova.” The show follows the Shannon family as they’re sent back to The Land of the Lost prehistoric times to escape present day doom on Earth.
Peep it:
The show’s synopsis in-a-shell reads:
TERRA NOVA follows an ordinary family on an incredible journey back in time to prehistoric Earth as a small part of a daring experiment to save the human race. In the year 2149, the world is dying. The planet is overdeveloped and overcrowded, with the majority of plant and animal life extinct. The future of mankind is in doubt, and its only hope for survival is in the distant past.
The series centers on the Shannon family as they join the Tenth Pilgrimage of settlers to Terra Nova, the first colony established in this beautiful yet forbidding land. Upon the Shannon’s arrival, they are introduced to Commander Nathaniel Taylor (Stephen Lang), the charismatic and heroic first pioneer and leader of the settlement.
Along with blue skies, towering waterfalls and lush vegetation, the surrounding terrain is teeming with danger – and not just of the man-eating dinosaur variety. There is also a splinter colony of renegades led by the battle-hardened MIRA (Christine Adams), who is vehemently opposed to Taylor and his leadership.
Even more threatening than what lies outside the protective walls of the colony is the chilling possibility that something sinister is happening inside Terra Nova. The Shannons will come to suspect that not everyone on this mission has the same idea of how to best save mankind; in fact, there may be forces intent on destroying this new world before it even begins.
“Terra Nova”stars Jason O’Mara (Resident Evil: Extinction), Stephen Lang (Avatar), Shelley Conn (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Allison Miller (Blood: the Last Vampire), Landon Liboiron (Altitude), Christine Adams (Tron: Legacy) and Naomi Scott (“Life Bites”).
Saoirse Ronan, the 17-year-old star of director Joe Wright’s exceptional teen assassin actioner Hanna, has been cast as the lead in Inferno Entertainment’s big screen adaptation of “Twilight Saga” author Stephenie Meyer’s bestselling novel “The Host.”
The Host centers on an alien invasion of human minds. Ronan will play Melanie Stryder, a young woman whose thoughts of love make it impossible for her extraterrestrial body-snatcher to seize control of her thoughts.
Writer/director Andrew Niccol (Gattaca) penned the film’s script and is a strong contender to helm the project being that he was previously attached to do so before stepping down to direct the Amanda Seyfried/Justin Timberlake/Olivia Wilde sci-fi thriller Now.
Ronan’s creds include the 2008 sci-fi fantasy City of Ember and Peter Jackson’s 2009 adaptation of author Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones.
“30 Rock” star Katrina Bowden has netted a role in Dimension Films’ new fish-&-chicks frightener Piranha 3-DD. The insanely hot 22-year-old joins a cast that includes Danielle Panabaker (The Crazies), Meagan Tandy (Unstoppable), Gary Busey (Predator 2) and a bevy of nameless, top-heavy starlets.
Directed by John Gulager (Feast 1-3) and written by Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan (Saw 4-7),Piranha 3-DD is set at a popular water park during summer. Shooting on the film began exactly a week ago in Wilmington, NC.
Bowden, who was voted this year’s Sexiest Woman Alive by Esquire readers, has starred in director Eli Craig’s still-in-distribution-limbo hillbilly-horror-comedy Tucker and Dale VS. Evil and the 2009 home-video slasher The Shortcut.
