Big Foot based frightener Exists has been picked up for distribution by Lionsgate. The deal comes on the heels of the film’s world premiere at SXSW, and marks director Eduardo Sanchez’s return to the found-footage genre he ushered in with 1999’s game-changer The Blair Witch Project.
Written by Jamie Nash (Lovely Molly), Exists follows a group of friends as they’re stalked and slaughtered by Big Foot in the Texas woods. Cast includes Dora Madison Burge (”Friday Night Lights”), Roger Edwards (Bad Kids Go to Hell) and Denise Williamson (pictured).
Denise Williamson spoke with Clatto about her experience on Exists in an exclusive interview late last year. She told us about her character, working with Sanchez, shooting in the woods, and what monsters truly terrify her. To peep the interview, click here.
French starlet Eva Green goes nude in300: Rise of an Empire, a companion film to the Zack Snyder-directed blockbuster 300. The scene is dirty-hot, lengthy and already causing a buzz as one of the most outrageous sex scenes in movie history.
It’s more of a fight than a sex scene, really. It’s so violent that it was kind of staged as a fight scene.
I love when it’s kind of clinical. Even a normal sex scene, actually, when they go, “You put your hand here and you here,” “How do you do? We’re going to have sex.”
Here it’s two warriors having sex. They deal with violence every day, and this is how they do it. It’s kind of S&M without the leather. It’s not very romantic, let’s say.
Green is best known for playing Bond girl Vesper Lynd in Casino Royal and sorceress Morgan Le Fay on Starz’ short-lived series “Camelot.” She was also witch Angelique Bouchard in Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows remake. She’ll next be seen as femme fatal Ava Lord in the Sin City sequelA Dame to Kill For.
300: Rise of an Empire is in theaters now.

Marvel has released a new featurette for Captain America: The Winter Soldier showcasing Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. Big changes since we last saw her in The Avengers and Captain America, namely her hair. It’s longer, straighter, and makes you wish it draped over you as you fu… fought crime together.
Johansson’s curves look better than ever in the Widow’s skintight leather, and should provide pocket-pool closure for those who felt gyped by her voice-only, yet extremely sexy, performance in the A.I. romance drama Her. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is in theaters April 4.
Screen Gems has released a trailer for Deliver Us From Evil, a based-on-true events exorcism drama from writer and director Scott Derrickson (Sinister, The Exorcism of Emily Rose). Eric Bana, Edgar Rameriz, Joel McHale, and geek-goddess Olivia Munn star in the Jerry Bruckheimer Films release.
Deliver Us From Evil follows an Irish Catholic cop (Bana) working with a rogue priest (Ramirez) on a case that may be demonic in nature. Munn plays the cop’s hot wife, who is also linked to the case. She looks good, but it’s no Ghost Tits.
Deliver Us From Evil arrives in theaters on July 2.

Stage Fright finds the daughter (Allie MacDonald) of a murdered Broadway star (Minnie Driver) following in her mother’s steps by taking a lead role in an art camp play. Shit hits the fan, however, when people start to croak during rehearsals.

Directed and co-written by Mike Flanagan (Absentia), the film stars Karen Gillan (”Dr. Who”), Brenton Thwaites (Gods of Eygpt), and Katee Sackhoff (”Battlestar Galactica”).

The film will hold its premiere at the 2014 SXSW Film Fest in Austin, Texas before hitting theater on April 11.
