Ashley Greene (Twilight Saga) is set to star in fright legend Joe Dante’s new horror comedy Burying the Ex. Greene stars as Evelyn, a manipulative and possessive woman who returns from the dead after dying in a freak accident to claim her boyfriend, Max (Anton Yelchin), from the living.
Burying the Ex co-stars stunner Alexandra Daddario as Olivia, the beautiful woman Max hooks up with after his girlfriend’s tragic demise. The film is scripted by Alan Trezza and is based on his short of the same name.
Greene is coming off Dark Castle’s not-so-supernatural flop The Apparition. She will next be seen in the Weinstein Company’s Random, formerly titled Satanic. Greene is best known for her role as Edward’s adopted little sister, Alice Cullen, in Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Saga.
Wondering what “Game of Thrones” star Natalia Tena was doing yesterday? She was hard at work on a new paranormal thriller from Matador Pictures and Content Media. Yeah, that’s no reason for her not to have answered your calls… your heavy breathing is just asthma, we know.
Residue is the name of the film and it began production today under the helm of TV director Alex Garcia (“Utopia”). Created and written by John Harrison (Book of Blood), the story follows photojournalist Jennifer Preston as she uncovers a supernatural cause behind an explosion that has left her city in chaos.
Tena is best known for playing Nymphadora Tonks in the Harry Potter franchise and Osha, protector of young Rickon Stark, in HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
Lifetime has set a Jan. 25 premiere date for Lizzie Borden Took an Ax, a biopic based on the notorious life of Lizzie Borden, the acquitted suspect in the 1892 hatchet murders of her parents Andrew and Abby Borden. The film is directed by Nick Gomez (”Flash Forward”) and stars Christina Ricci in the titular role.
Co-starring alongside Ricci are Billy Campbell (“Helix”) and Clea DuVal (Argo). The film marks Ricci’s return to horror since 2009’s After.Life, in which she toplessly played the victim of an automobile accident who wakes up in the morgue, but is told by the mortician that she is dead.
Ricci’s creds include a string of memorable frighteners and thrillers, including Tim Burton’s Sleepy Hollow, Wes Craven’s Cursed, the sexy abduction drama Black Snake Moan and the biopic Monster, based on serial killer Aileen Wuornos and her lesbian lover.

“Arrow” star Caity Lotz stars in Content Media’s upcoming sci-fi thriller The Machine. Written and directed by someone named Caradog James, the film stars Lotz as an artificial intelligence expert turned cyborg by a scientists working for Britain’s Ministry of Defense.
Lotz, who plays heroine Canary on The CW’s superhero series “Arrow,” is trained in Tae Kwon Do and Muai Thai, disciplines that make her a genuine ass kicker in The Machine.
Lotz is an up-and-comer best known for her recurring role as Anna Draper’s niece on AMC’s “Mad Men.” She played Officer Kirsten Landry on MTV’s short-lived horror-comedy show “Death Valley” and toplined writer/director Nicholas McCarthy’s creepy ghost story, The Pact.

Disney has released a teaser-trailer for Maleficent, its re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty tale told from the perspective of the iconic villainess, played by gorgeous Angelina Jolie. Elle Fanning co-stars as Aurora, the sleepiest of them all.
The synopsis reads:
A beautiful, pure-hearted young woman, Maleficent has an idyllic life growing up in a peaceable forest kingdom, until one day when an invading army threatens the harmony of the land.
Maleficent rises to be the land’s fiercest protector, but she ultimately suffers a ruthless betrayal — an act that begins to turn her pure heart to stone.
Bent on revenge, Maleficent faces an epic battle with the invading king’s successor and, as a result, places a curse upon his newborn infant Aurora. As the child grows, Maleficent realizes that Aurora holds the key to peace in the kingdom—and perhaps to Maleficent’s true happiness as well.

Summit Entertainment has released a two-minute-plus trailer for Neil Burger’s Divergent, an adaptation of Veronica Roth’s debut novel, the first in a young-adult trilogy, about a dystopian future in which people are divided into a caste system based on their personality traits.
Divergent stars Shailene Woodley as a young woman who doesn’t belong to any group and is out to end the war among the people. The film co-stars Kate Winslet, Aaron Eckhart, Theo James, Ray Stevenson, Tony Goldwyn, Zoe Kravitz, Maggie Q, and Ashley Judd. It opens March 21, 2014.
Punk rock legend Henry Rollins is starring in He Never Died, a cannibalistic thriller from Jason Krawczyk, director of the awesome-sounding short film Clown Holocaust. Rollins plays Jack, a man detached from society who prolongs his life by eating people. He attempts to change when his past returns to haunt him.
It’s one of the best scripts I’ve ever read. As a character, Jack is perhaps far less than normal, which suits me very well.
He’s not all that bad a guy, which is different. I don’t get many of those. He is in a very rare and strange situation and I really want to be part of the action.
He Never Died started production today in Toronto. Video game voice actor Steven Ogg (Grand Theft Auto 5, Alone in the Dark) is also on board.
Rollins, best known for fronting iconic punk outfit Black Flag and his own Rollins Band, is no stranger to acting, and can be seen in string of genre offerings including Wrong Turn 2, Feast, David Lynch’s Dark Highway, the rock-n-roll vampire horror-comedy Suck, and Johnny Mnemonic.
Matador Film has released a trailer for producer Uwe Boll’s Seed 2: The New Breed, a sequel to his 2007 slasher about a death row inmate who returns from the dead to kill those responsible for his death sentence. Now, years later, he’s inexplicably set his sights on a Las Vegas bachelorette party.
That bachelorette party is made up of stunners Christa Campbell (Drive Angry), Natalie Scheetz (“Siberia”), Annika Strauss (Game Over), newcomer Sarah Hayden, and jaw-dropping Euro model-turned-actress Micaela Schaefer (pictured).
The trailer provides a glimpse at the gruesomeness to come, including shots of desert crucifixion, strangulation by guts, and bullet to the vagina. Micaela Schaefer’s boobs do make an appearance to cheer you up though.
