Fresh off her celebrated directorial debut Booksmart, Olivia Wilde is set to helm and topline the psychological thriller Don’t Worry Darling. Set in the 50s, the story follows a hot housewife who suffers a breakdown that threatens to unleash a less domesticated version of herself.
No word on Wilde’s role, but Don’t Worry Darling is described as Times Up feminist fodder, however Wilde appears to be a savvy enough director to keep it from going off the rails as she did with the very funny and at times eye-roll inducing Booksmart.
Wilde came to fame as lesbian doctor Thirteen on medical drama “House.” She made her horror debut in the highly underrated “Turistas” before starring in big budget sci-fi thrillers Tron: Legacy, Cowboys & Aliens, and In Time. She returned to horror in 2015’s The Lazarus Effect.
Showtime has announced “Californication” star Natascha McElhone is set to join its upcoming original sci-fi series “Halo.” Based on the bestselling 343 Industries video game for Xbox 360, the show follows an interstellar war between humanity and alien assholes.
McElhone has been cast in a dual role as Dr. Catherine Halsey, the brilliant and hot creator of the Spartan supersoldiers, and Cortana, the most advanced and hottest looking AI ever manufactured. Cameras roll in Budapest this year for slated release in 2021.
McElhone, who starred in 2002’s FeardotCom and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris, is best known for her roles as Karen van der Beek, Hank Moody’s (David Duchovny) ex-wife, on the Showtime dramedy “Californication” and the First Lady on Fox’s “Designated Survivor.”
Sexy funny girl Aubrey Plaza, who is coming off her horror debut in this year’s awesome Child’s Play remake, plays a troublesome thot in the psychological thriller Black Bear from director Lawrence Michael Levine (Wild Canaries).
Plaza stars as a hot filmmaker attempting to overcome her writer’s block in the great outdoors who instead disrupts an expectant couple’s relationship with her whorish ways. Christopher Abbott (It Comes At Night) and stunner Sarah Gadon (“True Detective”) co-star as the couple.
Levine describes Black Bear as:
A thriller that depicts broken characters wrestling with a seemingly shattered world that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats. I am thrilled to have such a talented trio of actors on board.
Broken characters is usually code for sexual degenerates so we’ve got big hopes for this one!
Because we like our metal like our women—hairy—our heads have mostly banged to hair metal acts celebrating the joys of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. But, now, our poseur eyes have been opened to the musical stylings of Polish death metal outfit Behemoth and their satanic ways.
Posted below is the Behemoth video for Sabbath Mater, a monstrous track from their newest CD, “I Loved You at Your Darkest.” The imagery on this is just disturbing and sick…and we love it! There are also bare boobs, but they’re bloody—hey, compromise is good.
Seriously, this video is better than some horror flicks we’ve seen. Oddly enough, the vocalist’s resemblance to Ben Stiller also makes it amusing like watching a death metal Zoolander!
AMC has released a teaser for its upcoming “Walking Dead” spinoff series about the first generation of young survivors coming of age during the zombie apocalypse we’ve come to see on “The Walking Dead” and its first companion series “Fear the Walking Dead.”
The teaser features the new show’s notably unattractive cast setting up the premise for the spinoff. No Maggies, no Rositas, no Alycia Debnam-Careys, no tough dudes either…just some awkward looking kids that could never have survived high school back in the day much less a world riddled with zombies and bad people.
Here’s hoping there’s plenty of safe spaces and mental health days in the apocalypse for these snowflakes.
