“Grey’s Anatomy” and “Californication” star Camilla Luddington is set to topline Dallas Hallam and Patrick Horvath’s The Pact II, a sequel to the 2012 sleeper hit from writer and director Nicholas McCarthy, starring Caity Lotz (“Death Valley”).
Deadline reports that Luddington will play June Abbott, an L.A. woman tormented by a string of violent dreams in which people are slaughtered by a killer named Judas. Things only get worse when she starts to see the murders from the killer’s P.O.V.
Luddington is coming off the ninth season of ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy.” The British stunner broke big in 2012 with roles on HBO’s vampire soap “True Blood” and Showtime’s “Californication,” in which she played Lizzie, a nude nanny and aspiring actress willing to sleep her way into Hollywood.
Luddington also provided the voice and motion capture for video game heroine Lara Croft in Crystal Dynamic’s Tomb Raider reboot.
NBC has released a trailer for “Dracula,” a ten-episode miniseries built around the legendary vampire and his quest for blood and revenge. The show is toplined by Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“The Tudors”) and co-stars Jessica De Gouw (”Arrow”), Katie McGrath (”Merlin”) and Victoria Smurfit (pictured as Lady Jayne).
Set in 1890’s London, the show follows Dracula (Meyers) as he plots vengeance on the descendants of the people who ruined his life many centuries ago. Masquerading as an American entrepreneur, he wreaks havoc up until he meets Mina Murray (De Gouw), a dead-ringer for his deceased wife.
Fox has released a trailer for its upcoming series “Sleepy Hollow,” a re-imagining of Washington Irving’s “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” written by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (Star Trek Into Darkness) and directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld).
Personally, I find the addition of time travel and Orlando Jones to be extremely unfortunate and think it will most likely make what could have been a creepy horror series bite the dust after a few episodes.
Peep it:
The synopsis reads:
In thismodern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic, Ichabod Crane is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer to unravel a mystery that dates back to the founding fathers.
“Sleepy Hollow” stars Tom Mison (One Day) as Ichabod Crane, Katia Winter (“Dexter”) as his sister Katrina Crane, Nicole Beharie (Shame) and ex-7-Up spokesman Orlando Jones as modern day cops Abbie Archer and Lt. Frank Williams and Richard Cetrone as the infamous Headless Horsesman.
French-Spanish starlet Astrid Bergès-Frisbey is set to co-star alongside Michael Pitt (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Brit Marling (Another Earth) in Mike Cahill’s new sci-fi drama I Origins, the director’s eagerly anticipated follow-up to his 2011 acclaimed feature film debut Another Earth.
According to Deadline, I Origins follows a molecular biologist (Pitt) and his lab assistant (Marling) as they uncover “startling evidence that may fundamentally change society as we know it.” Steven Yeun (“Walking Dead”) also co-stars. No word on his and Bergès-Frisbey’s roles.
Bergès-Frisbey first made waves in the U.S. in 2010 when her natural breasts helped land her the role of mermaid Syrena in Disney Pictures’ blockbuster sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Prior to that, the oft-nude starlet had starred in a string of foreign dramas.
If we could only put a finger on Astrid's popularity.
Mujer Lobo is Spanish for She-wolf. It’s also the title of Argentinian filmmaker Tamae Garateguy’s new erotic frightener about a “multi-faced” female lycan who seduces men to fuck her before turning them into kibble and bits. Starlets Mónica Lairana, Luján Ariza and Guadalupe Docampo each play the she-wolf.
Garateguy tells Cinestel that what drew her to the film was the opportunity to depict violence and sexually provocative themes from a female perspective. Thankfully, that just means showing frivolous amounts of boobs and butts in black-and-white.
Producer Eli Roth and Chilean director Nicolás López’s Aftershock is shaking up moviegoers this weekend in limited release. A nine-minute bts clip for the must-see disaster flick has gone online and features interviews with Roth, Lopez and the cast, including stunners Lorenza Izzo and Andrea Osvárt.
Aftershock stars Roth, Ariel Levy and Nicolás Martínez as dudes whose efforts to get laid by sisters Izzo and Osvárt and their Russian model girlfriend Natasha Yarovenko during an evening of club hopping in Chile are thwarted by a massive earthquake and tsunami.
Warner Bros. has dropped the first trailer for Gravity, a sci-fi drama from acclaimed director Alfonso Cuaron (Children of Men) starring Academy Award winners Sandra Bullock and George Clooney as astronauts drifting aimlessly through space after a routine spacewalk goes terribly wrong.
The synopsis reads:
Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney), in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes.
The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue.
As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
CBS has released the first full-length trailer for “Under the Dome,” a 13-episode miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Stephen King, and based on King’s post-apocalyptic novel of the same name. The show is directed by Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) and premieres June 24.
“Under the Dome” follows the havoc caused by a mysterious force field that drops over the small New England town of Chester Mill.

Anchor Bay and Cinetel Films’ have released the first image from I Spit On Your Grave 2, a sequel to Steven R. Monroe’s 2010 remake of Meir Zarchi’s controversial 1978 rape-revenge thriller. The photo finds new star Jemma Dallender ready to jump one of her assailant’s bones… with jumper cables.
I Spit On Your Grave 2 follows aspiring model Jessica (Dallender) as she’s lured to a photo shoot in New York only to be raped, tortured and taken to a foreign country where she endures more horrors before being buried alive and left to die. She miraculously survives and sets out to make male moviegoers uncomfortable.
The sequel wrapped production late last year and is slated for a fall 2013 release. Monroe returns to helm the project, scripted by Chain Letter scribe Thomas Fenton. Dallender is a newcomer whose credits include the U.K. indie frightener Community and a recurring role on Britain’s sexy school girl soap “Hollyoaks.”
Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave starred newcomer Sarah Butler as Jennifer Hill, a young novelist on a mission to maim, dismember, and murder the men who brutally and repeatedly raped her while on holiday in the woods. The film grossed just under $100,000 in its limited theatrical run, but was a hit on home video.
Clatto is a place for entertainment news and bullshit, namely of the horror, sci-fi and fantasy variety. But, sometimes, serious things happen in our world and we have no choice but to set aside the fun and games to report on what truly affects us as a people.
Yesterday saw photos of Jessica Alba’s breast exposed through a transparent bra that she wore while taking her kids to a New York City park. Nothing will ever be as we knew it.
Alba has teased fans in the past by taking semi-nude roles in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete and Michael Winterbottom’s controversial serial killer drama The Killer Inside Me, in which her bare bottom is spanked with a belt. She’ll next be seen in the Rodriguez sequels Machete Kills and Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For.
