Warner Bros. has released a new eye-popping trailer for Bourne Identity director Doug Liman’s sci-fi actioner Edge of Tomorrow (formerly titled All You Need Is Kill). Tom Cruises stars in the film as Lt. Col. Bill Cage, a military officer killed in a suicide mission and inexplicably forced to relive the death repeatedly.
Making that Groundhog/Source Code scenario more tolerable for Cage is sexy Special Forces officer Rita Vrataski, whom he must save daily and is played by Emily Blunt. Edge of Tomorrow arrives in theaters June 6, 2014.
“Walking Dead” star Sarah Wayne Callies stars in Final Destination 5 director Steven Quale’s new tornado thriller, Into the Storm. Callies plays a meteorologist teamed up with a storm chaser during a series of violent twisters in a small Oklahoma town.
At least tornadoes don’t have rotting flesh coming off them. Tornadoes are not after you specifically. But they will flatten whatever is in their path. It’s nothing personal.
I would love to do a project where I don’t almost die. But I do think I’m drawn to stories about survival. They are so primal. You get into human behavior and really elemental things.
Callies is best known for starring in the first three seasons of AMC’s acclaimed zombe-drama “The Walking Dead.” She played the annoying and adulterous wife of wonderful and noble hero Rick Grimes. Callies also played prison doctor Sara Tancredi on Fox’s “Prison Break.”
Image Entertainment has set an April 17 VOD release date and a May 16 limited theatrical engagement for writer and director Greg Mclean’s Wolf Creek 2, a sequel to his 2005 slasher about a sadistic bushman in the Australian outback who tortures and slaughters unsuspecting travelers.
Wolf Creek 2 finds John Jarratt once again reprising his role as killer Mick Taylor, hunting down a new group of backpackers to torment and dismember. Victims are played by Shannon Ashlyn, Philippe Klaus, Ryan Corr (Where the Wild Things Are), and stunners Kate Englefield and Sarah Roberts.
A new trailer has gone online for Disney’s Maleficent, a re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty tale told from the perspective of the iconic villainess. Angelina Jolie plays Maleficent in Academy award-winning art director Robert Stromberg’s directorial debut. Elle Fanning stars as Aurora, the sleepiest of them all.

Mena Suvari, star of all things American (American Beauty, American Pie, “American Horror Story”), is set to topline Amazon Studios’ “Hysteria,” a new thriller from former pop music idol and “Invasion” and “American Gothic” creator Shaun Cassidy.
“Hysteria” finds Suvari playing an ambitious and extremely intelligent, but socially awkward, neurologist and psychiatrist at the University of Texas Medical School, who goes back home to investigate a mysterious epidemic affecting high school girls through their digital devices.
Suvari made her feature film debut in Paramount Pictures’ Kiss the Girls. Notable genre creds includeMillennium Films remake of Day of the Dead, and Stuart Gordon’sStuck, the based-on-a-true-story tale of a woman who waited for her hit-and-run victim to die in her garage while stuck on her windshield.
Posted above is a photo of teen actress Camren Bicondova as Selina Kyle/Catwoman on the set of Fox TV’s “Gotham,” an origins series chronicling Jim Gordon’s rise from rookie detective to Police Commissioner of the notoriously corrupt city.
“Gotham” also introduces tween Bruce Wayne, the orphaned child of murdered billionaires Thomas and Martha Wayne, and teenaged super villains to-be, including The Penguin and Catwoman. Think “Smallville.”
“Gotham” stars Ben McKenzie as Jim Gordon, Erin Richards as his wife Barbara Kean, Donal Logue as his veteran partner Harvey Bullock, David Mazouz as Bruce Wayne, Sean Pertwee as Alfred, Jada Pinkett-Smith as Fish Mooney, Robin Lord Taylor as The Penguin, and Zabryna Guevara as Police Captain Sarah Essen.
Fashion model Dylan Penn makes her acting debut in clothing designer-turned-filmmaker Eli Morgan Gesner’s (Concrete Jungle) Condemned. Described by producers to be in the vein of Evil Dead, Scorsese’s After Hours and the French cannibal comedy Delicatessen, the frightener shoots next month in New York.
Penn will play the youngest in a group of disgusting squatters whose irresponsible shitting habits cause a viral outbreak among the residents living in a condemned building on Manhattan’s Lower East Side, sending them into a murderous rage.
Penn is the 22-year-old daughter of grumpy actor Sean Penn (Shanghai Surprise) and his hot ex-wife Robin Wright (Forrest Gump). Some of you may have masturbated to seen her in layouts for GQ, Elle, and The Gap.
Phase 4 Films has set a May 6 DVD release date for its based-on-true-events slasher Blood Shed, starring Bai Ling (Crank: High Voltage), glamor model-turned-actress Vida Guerra, and Vida Guerra’s tush (pictured). The film is directed by people named Patrick Hasson and Juan Carlos Saizarbitoria.

Image Entertainment has set an April 15 DVD and digital download release date for Camp Dread, a new slasher from writer and director Harrison Smith (6 Degrees of Hell), starring Sleepaway Camp star Felissa Rose (pictured above).
Rose plays the star of a beloved ’80s horror trilogy brought back for a “reality-based” reboot of the series set to be shot at the campgrounds where the original splatter flicks were filmed. Shit hits the fan when Rose’s co-stars start biting the dust.
Camp Dread also stars scream queen Danielle Harris (Halloween, Hatchet) as a small town’s sheriff and Eric “I’ll take the role” Roberts (Sharktopus, Expendables) as the filmmaker desperate to restart his stalled career at any cost.
