Universal Pictures and MGM have released a new teaser for producer and co-writer Jordan Peele’s upcoming sequel to 1992’s Candyman, a supernatural thriller based on a Clive Barker story about a boogeyman who terrorizes residents of a housing project in Chicago.
Nia DaCosta (Little Woods) is at the helm and describes the film as a spiritual sequel to the 1992 original, starring horrible actor Tony Todd as the Candyman. The film picks up in present day and follows visual artist Anthony McCoy, the grown son of a former victim, as he arrives into town to look for answers about his old hood.
Superstar Margot Robbie is set to test the waters for Disney’s newly announced Pirates of the Caribbean offshoot, a fem-fronted project re-teaming the blonde bombshell with her Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey director Christina Hodson.
Details regarding the film’s plot and Robbie’s character are unavailable, but the story is said to serve as an expansion of the Pirates universe, introducing new characters while possibly bringing back old favorites, including Johnny Depp’s iconic swashbuckler, Captain Jack Sparrow.
The Pirates of the Caribbean franchise is five films strong and has earned more than $4.5 billion globally. The original film, 2004’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, earned Depp his first Academy Award nomination.
“LOST” alumna Tania Raymonde is off the island and in the Deep Blue Sea! The brunette stunner toplines a third entry in the genetically-enhanced shark thriller franchise best known for director Renny Harlin’s 1999 original starring Saffron Burrows, Thomas Jane, Samuel L. Jackson, and L.L. Cool J.
Deep Blue Sea 3 stars Raymonde as a marine biologist leading a research mission on mating habits of great white sharks. The kinky fun comes to an end when altered bull sharks swim into town to get it on with the great whites and create havoc for all.
Deep Blue Sea 3 arrives on digital July 28 and on home video Aug. 25. The film is helmed by Jogn Pogue, director of underrated thrillers Quarantine 2: Terminal and The Quiet Ones, and penned by Underworld: Rise of the Lycans writer Dirk Blackman.
IFC Films has released a trailer for Dave Franco’s (“Scrubs”) directorial debut The Rental, an Airbnb-gone-horribly-wrong thriller starring Alison Brie (“Mad Men”) as a woman who plans a weekend getaway with her mate and another couple to celebrate a successful business venture.
Things go awry when terrible secrets are revealed among the friends and only get worse when they realize they’re not alone in the house! Co-stars include Dan Stevens (The Guest), Jeremy Allen White (“Shameless”), and Shelia Vand (A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night).
Stunner and real-life drama queen Olivia Munn is set to star in Replay, a sci-fi actioner described by the film’s producers to be like John Wick, The Raid, Terminator, and every other movie you’ve ever enjoyed—but definitely not like those movies you didn’t like, only the ones you really, really loved.
That right there sounds awesome! Why would the filmmakers lie? It’s gotta be amaze-balls. What? You still need to know the plot? Fine…Munn plays a hot wife who uses cutting edge tech to find her way back in time to prevent her husband from being abducted and killed by assholes.
Munn is best known for her wild hosting shenanigans on defunct network G4’s “Attack of the Show,” HBO’s old-people drama “The Newsroom,” a glorious topless turn in male-stripper dramedy Magic Mike, playing big-boobed, ninja-assassin Psylocke in Marvel’s X-Men: Apocalypse, and destroying Shane Black’s awesome Predator reboot the weekend of its release by beating a dead horse with a rehashed #MeToo tale.
Lydia Hull, best known for her recurring role in Sly Stallone’s Escape Plan flicks, co-stars alongside action star Bruce Willis in the home invasion thriller Survive the Night. The film finds Willis coming to his family’s rescue when hooligans on the lam break into their home looking for medical assistance.
Hull plays Willis’ hot daughter taken hostage by the home invaders in an effort to force her doctor husband to perform life-saving surgery. Helmed by Matt Eskandari (Victim), Survive the Night reunites Hull with Willis after co-starring in last year’s indie actioner Ten Minutes Gone.
Emilia Clarke (“Game of Thrones”) plays a circus captive in one of the tales of newly released horror anthology Murder Manual, now streaming on Amazon Prime. What the Mother of Dragons is doing here would be the mother of all mysteries if it weren’t for her rocky track record on the big screen.
But, hey, let’s not poo-poo the flick before actually watching it. The trailer looks creepy and Clarke’s “Game of Thrones” nudity has endeared her to us so deeply we’ll watch anything she does—it’s the gentlemanly thing to do.
Reigning movie stunner Megan Fox, star of Transformers and underrated cult classic Jennifer’s Body, brings her hottest mean girl charms to the role of psycho-bitch in pop star Machine Gun Kelly’s new music video, Bloody Valentine.
Fox plays Kelly’s homicidal girlfriend. Enraged by the collapse of their relationship, she takes him hostage and torments him for days with her sexy. Fox is can’t-look-away gorgeous in this and the song isn’t as awful as one would expect from Kelly.
Hollywood stunner Charlize Theron is going Atomic Blonde again for her new Netflix and Skydance thriller The Old Guard, a supernatural actioner adapted from the graphic novel of the same name about eternal mercenaries pitted against enemies who’d replicate them to make bank.
Regrettably, unlike Atomic Blonde, Theron is sporting a short dykey hairdo in the new flick and doesn’t appear to have a sexy Sofia Boutella to lez out with…but butchy Theron is better than Monster Theron so we’ll watch her kick ass regardless on July 10.
Dakota Johnson, best known for her nude acting talents in films such as Universal’s Fifty Shades of Grey franchise and Amazon Studios’ Suspiria remake, has joined the cast of Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling, the directorial followup to her acclaimed debut Booksmart.
The psychological thriller stars Florence Pugh (Midsommar) as a 1950s housewife suffering a breakdown that threatens to unleash a less domesticated version of herself. Wilde co-stars in an undescribed pivotal role. No word on Johnson’s character, but we’re assuming she’ll bring the butt, boobs, and bush!
Also co-starring in the New Line Cinema thriller are vagina-less actors Shia LaBeouf (Transformers) and Chris Pine (Wonder Woman).
