Christina Hendricks is the latest knockout to join the cast of The Neon Demon, an L.A. based satire about cannibalistic cat-walkers co-written and directed by Nicolas Refn (Drive). Co-starring with Hendricks are Keanu Reeves, Elle Fanning, Jena Malone, model Abbey Lee and Bella Heathcote.
The Neon Demon follows a group of supermodels as they turn to cannibalism and voodoo to maintain their looks. Hendricks’ role has not been identified, but considering she’s a lot bigger than the other girls chances are she either plays a cop or is the girls’ leader, eating the bigger portions of their victims.
Hendricks will next be seen in actor Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut Lost River and in French director Gilles Paquet-Brenner’s English-language debut Dark Places, an adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s best selling 2009 novel. She plays troubled strippersin both films. The Neon Demon rolls camera March 30.
Amanda Seyfried is set to star in Black Lung, a supernatural thriller from “True Detective” producer Cary Fukunaga and screenwriter-turned-director Chase Palmer. Seyfried plays the clairvoyant wife of a Utah coal miner saved by her visions from an explosion that traps his co-workers in a mine.
The action brings a barrage of trouble for the couple. Rescue officials suspect them of foul play, while the wives of the trapped miners brood with resentment towards them. As a result, their relationship is strained to a breaking point. But, nothing compares to the shit-storm Seyfried foresees in her visions.
Seyfried made her horror debut in 2008 with the supernatural thriller Solstice. She has since starred in a string of notable frighteners, including abduction thriller Gone, the psycho-sexual Chloe, Catherine Hardwicke’s Red Riding Hood, Andrew Niccol’s In Time, and the underrated Diablo Cody-penned horror-comedy Jennifer’s Body.
“Angel” and “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” stunner Charisma Carpenter goes very nude in TheAsylum’s Bound, a Fifty Shades of Grey knockoff about a sexually repressed MILF who discovers the BDSM lifestyle in the hands of a younger man.

A very naked, NSFW trailer for Bound can be seen here. Below is the SFW tease:
Unlike porn, there just aren’t enough Asian women in horror. So imagine our joy when we discovered that stunning Piranhaconda star Jenny Lin plays a photographer in genre god Danny Trejo’s new supernatural thriller The Burning Dead.
A natural disaster flick and zombie apocalypse hybrid, The Burning Dead finds Trejo playing a Native American badass attempting to rescue a family from a volcanic eruption that has unleashed lava zombies.It arrives on VOD March 3.
According to IMDB, Lin plays a photographer in the film. This made us sad as we have enjoyed her previous roles as Stripper, Green-Thong Stripper, Prostitute, Hooker, Hot Date, Bargirl, Wife, and Vomiting Vampire. Here’s hoping she’s a stripping photographer 🙂
Twentieth Century Fox has released its first trailer for producer Sam Raimi’s remake of Tobe Hooper’s 1982 supernatural blockbuster Poltergeist. Gil Kenan (Monster House) directs the film from a script written by David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz the Great and Powerful).
The official synopsis reads:
Sam Raimi (Evil Dead) and director Gil Kenan (Monster House) contemporize the classic tale about a family whose suburban home is haunted by evil forces. When the terrifying apparitions escalate their attacks and hold the youngest daughter captive, the family must come together to rescue her before she disappears forever.
Contrary to what Sam Rockwell suggested in comments in which he labeled the remake a “kid’s movie,” the trailer makes the film look pretty fun. The clown is pretty creepy and the new TV is bitchin’… what is that a 62″? Still, a midget medium is very much needed.
The mid season premiere for AMC’s “The Walking Dead” is Sunday, Feb. 8. That’s three days away. Yes… that’s too damn long! What’s worse is AMC has released a new trailer teasing the brutality to come. The anticipation is too much to take.
Synopsis reads
After the tragic events of the mid-season finale–as well as losing the possibility of a cure in Washington, DC–Rick Grimes’ band of survivors find themselves on the road, surviving day to day and trying to hold on to their shredded humanity and dwindling hope.
Stripped of security and without a direction for the future, some of the group near their breaking point, some find themselves hardened and cold and some just try to grasp on to what little they have left.
Though they are still breathing, the line between Rick’s group and the dead is starting to blur. Could there be anything at this point that brings them back to life?
