Up-and-comer Ali Faulkner (Twilight: Breaking Dawn) is set to star in the psychological thriller The Secret Village. The story centers on two researchers studying an outbreak of mass hysteria in a small village.

Attached to the project are Academy Award winner Charlize Theron, Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough, and British actor Tom Hardy as the iconic role of “Mad” Max Rockatansky.
A new Spanish-dubbed trailer for Orphanage director Juan Antonio Bayona’s Impossible has burst online. The film is set in Thailand during the 2004 tsunami that wrecked Southeast Asia and stars Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor as a vacationing couple caught in the flood.
Impossible doesn’t appear to have sharks devouring flood survivors ala Bait, but it promises to be better than Clint Eastwood’s snorefest Hereafter. The film has yet to secure U.S. distribution, but will play in Spain this fall (hence the Spanish-dubbed trailer).
