For those who thought catching ’80s pop sensation Debbie Gibson in another Mega Shark movie was only in their dreams, out of the blue comes news that Gibson will reprise her role as MILFY oceanographer Emma MacNeil in The Asylum’s Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark, out on VOD, DVD, and Blu-ray Jan. 28.
Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark is the second sequel in the Mega Shark franchise, which includes 2009’s Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus and 2010’s Mega Shark Vs. Crocosaurus. Along with Gibson, the flick stars stunners Elisabeth Rohm (American Hustle), and Hannah Levien (Bloody Hell).
Mexican actress Diana Garcia (Sin Nombre) is co-starring in SX_Tape, a new found-footage thriller from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Immortal Beloved) and producer Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious).
Scripted by newcomer Eric Reese, SX_Tape follows young couple Jill (Caitlyn Folley) and Adam (Ian Duncan) as they set out to shoot a sex video in an abandoned hospital. Things go all kinds of wrong, and they are soon fighting for their lives. Garcia plays one in a group of friends dropping by to get killed.
Garcia is best known for a string of international dramas, including Cary Joji Fukunaga’s critically acclaimed indie Sin Nombre, in which she played the ill fated girlfriend of a Mara Salvatrucha gang member in Mexico. The film earned Best Director honors at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival Awards.
“X-Files” star Gillian Anderson posed nude with a conger eel wrapped around her shoulders to show support for U.K. based Fishlove’s new campaign in support of sustainable fishing. While the sight of naked Scully is welcomed, that is one ugly fucking eel. One look at that thing, and people will want them extinct.
OK… I’m kidding. Eels are awesome… especially in sushi and Japanese porn. The shot was taken by French portrait photographer Denis Rouver. To show your support, visit Fishlove’s website and sign a petition.
Anderson, best known for playing FBI Agent Dana Scully on “The X-Files,” is a recurring on NBC’s new “Hannibal” series, playing Hannibal Lecture’s shrink. She’s recently starred in a string of genre offerings, including the robot-apocalypse drama Our Robot Overloads, the alien thriller I’ll Follow You Down, and the zom–com Curse of the Buxom Strumpet.
Wonder Woman fans are getting their star-spangled Underroos in bunch over Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder’s casting of Fast & Furious franchise star Gal Gadot as the iconic Amazonian Princess in Batman Vs. Superman. The part is the Israeli stunner’s first lead role.
Snyder said:
Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe.
Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role.
We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.
Gadot reportedly edged out French starlet Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Ukrainian goddess Olga Kurylenko(Oblivion) for the role. Personally, I favored Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World), who expressed interest in playing Wonder Woman a couple of months back.
Batman Vs. Superman will have Man of Steel actors Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane reprising their roles. Batman will be played by Ben Affleck, stepping in for Christian Bale, who played the Caped Crusader in Warner Bros. Dark Knight trilogy.
Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Noam Murro’s 300: Rise of an Empire, a companion film to the Zack Snyder-directed blockbuster 300, has gone online. Snyder produces and adapts the Frank Miller graphic novel with screenwriter Kurt Johnstad (300, Act of Valor).
Rise of an Empire follows Athenian general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he battles Persian king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his vengeful navy commander Artemesia (Eva Green). The events occur at the same time that King Leonidas is leading his 300 Spartans into the Battle of Thermopylae.
300: Rise of an Empire arrives in theaters March 7, 2014.
Oona Chaplin (“Game of Thrones”) is set to star in the Spanish thriller Purgatorio. Chaplin, the great granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, will play a woman who agrees to babysit a neighbor’s creepy kid. Things go bad when the neighbor never returns, and the child claims to see a mysterious boy in the house.
According to Variety, the role marks Chaplin’s first gig as lead actress. The film is directed by Catalan Pau Teixidor for Apaches Entertainment, and co-stars Andres Gertrudix (The Orphanage), Ana Fernandez (“Talk to Her”), and Sergi Mendez (“Hispania , la Leyenda”).
Chaplin held bit parts in the insanely awesome Saddam Hussein drama The Devil’s Double and the James Bond actioner Quantum of Solace. She is best known, however, for her tragic role as Robb Stark’s pregnant wife Talisa Maegyr on HBO’s “Game of Thrones.”
Anchor Bay has set a Feb. 11 DVD release date for Sorority Party Massacre. The slasher stars scream queen stunners Marissa Skell (“Dexter”), Rebecca Grant (Sink Hole), Eve Mauro (Zombie vs. Strippers), Casey Fitzgerald (Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs), Adrian Kirk (616: Paranormal Incident), and Yvette Yates.
Sorority Party Massacre finds a college town sheriff teaming up with a big city cop to investigate a 20-year string of sorority sister abductions and murders. The film is co-directed by Chris W. Freeman and Justin Jones.
Clatto spoke exclusively with Marissa Skell (pictured) about Sorority Party Massacre awhile back. It’s a pretty in depth interview in which she talks about the making of the film, her experiences in the horror genre, and her appearance on the VH1 reality competition show, “Scream Queens.” Read it here.
Elizabeth Olsen is confirmed to play Scarlet Witch in Joss Whedon’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron. The Scarlet Witch is the scantly-clad, large-breasted mutant daughter of Magneto. Shes is also Quicksilver’s incestuous twin sister.
I just love Scarlet Witch. I love her. It’s so funny because I’m often talking about all these psychologically damaged people, but when you talk about Scarlet Witch… She is a messed up lady. She has got more shit to deal with than anybody else I know.
I’m excited to figure out what’s appropriate to use for her, because there’s so much material from all of these decades, and we’re going to tell this one story. So to be able to choose what you’re going to bring into it from all of this abundance, it’s really fun.
For starters, I would suggest bringing the actual costume to the film:
Olsen can currently be seen in Spike Lee’s American remake of South Korean director Park Chan-wook’s classic revenge-thriller Oldboy, in which she goes nude. She’ll next be seen in Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’ Godzilla reboot.
Olsen creds include the critically acclaimed indie-drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, Open Road’s American remake of the Uruguayan frightener Silent House and Rodrigo Cortes’ Red Lights, opposite Robert De Niro.
A new trailer has gone online for director Josh C. Wallers’ feature film debut Raze: Fight or Die. Described by producers as a cross between Fight Club and Hostel, the film’s story finds 50 abducted women fighting against each other to the death without pillows or jello.
Stunner Rachel Nichols (Conan) and stuntwoman-turned-actress Zoe Bell (Death Proof) topline the film. Co-stars include hotties Rebecca Marshall (Saw 3-D), Nicole Steinwedell (“The Unit”), Adrienne Wilkinson (”Xena”), Tara Macken (”Sons of Anarchy”), Victoria Cruz (Reach), and Bailey Borders (The Change-Up).
I’m on team Nichols.
IFC Midnight will release Raze: Fight or Die in select theaters on Jan. 10.
Tara Reid is not an actress to rest on her laurels, no matter how groundbreaking and inspirational they may have been. Case in point, rather than retire on the juggernaut that was Sharknado, she is moving on to star in the new Australian slasher Charlie’s Farm.
Set in the Australian outback, Charlie’s Farm is the location of a brutal family murder at the hands of an angry mob. Reid plays one of four friends exploring the property for thrills. Things take a nasty turn when they run into Charlie, a seven-foot tall, 375-lbs killing machine.
Reid is joined in the film by co-stars Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Kane Hodder (Hatchet), and Nathan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Charlie the killer. Charlie’s Farm is written and directed by Chris Sun (Daddy’s Little Girl, Come and Get Me)
