Universal Pictures announced on Friday that it will release the fourth installment in its Jurassic Park franchise on June 13, 2014. Steven Spielberg is attached to produce. Safety Not Guaranteed director Colin Trevorrow will helm the 3D sequel, the first entry in the series since 2001’s Jurassic Park 3.
Joe Johnston, director of Jurassic Park 3, said in 2010 that a new Jurassic Park trilogy would soon be underway, adding that it would break away from the original to present a new story. Universal never confirmed Johnston’s remarks and nothing more was said until now.
Spielberg is coming off the Academy Award nominated Lincoln and last year’s nominated War Horse, neither of which featured velociraptors or Jeff Goldblum, regrettably. The Jurassic Park films have earned more than $2 billion worldwide.
By Jupiter’s cock, if it’s January, it must be time for a new season of “Spartacus,” the swords-and-sandals series created by Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert for Starz. Titled “Spartacus: War of the Damned,” the series comes to an end as Sparty leads his army of slaves into battle against Rome and a young Julius Caesar.
I haven’t seen the show since Netflix dropped it after “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,” but I’m sure it still includes buckets of blood, outrageous dialogue and plenty of full-frontal nudity… some of it even female!
OK… it also stars Dustin Clare, Manu Bennett, Daniel Feuerriegel, Simon Merrells, Todd Lasance, Christian Antidormi and Liam McIntyre as Spartacus. The new season kicks off Jan. 25.
South African model and actress Tanit Phoenix is set to make hearts race on Jan. 22 when Universal Studios Home Entertainment releases Death Race 3: Inferno—the second sequel in its successful Death Race franchise—on VOD, Blu-ray and DVD.
The synopsis reads:
Repentant convict Carl Lucas — aka Frankenstein— is a legendary driver in the brutal prison blood sport known as Death Race. Only one victory away from winning freedom, Lucas is plunged into his most vicious competition yet: the first ever Desert Death Race.
Through South Africa’s infernal Kalahari Desert, Lucas is pitted against ruthless adversaries and powerful forces at work behind the scenes to ensure his defeat.
Joining Phoenix for the ride are Danny Trejo (Machete), Ving Rhames (Piranha 3D), Fred Koehler (Death Race), stunners Tanya van Graan (Lost Boys: The Thirst) and Roxane Hayward and Luke Goss (Death Race 2) as Frankenstein.
British actress Jaime Murray is set to star in Fox Home Entertainment’s Fright Night 2, a remake of the recently remade Tom Holland vampire thriller, masquerading as a sequel. The film — directed by Eduardo Rodriguez — is currently shooting in Bucharest, Romania.
No word on what role Murray will play, but she joins a cast that includes Will Payne (Elfie Hopkins) as aspiring vampire slayer Charlie Brewster, Chris Waller (Inbred) as his BFF “Evil” Ed Bates and Sean Power (“Lead Balloon”) as showman Peter Vincent.
Murray is best known for her turn as Capua socialite Gaia in “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” and as arsonist Lila Tournay on Showtime’s “Dexter.” She also starred on the short-lived Sarah Michelle Gellar series “The Ringer” and currently plays “the real” H.G. Wells on Syfy’s “Warehouse 13.”
CBS Films has released the first trailer for StudioCanal’s The Last Exorcism Part II, an R-rated sequel to producer Eli Roth’s 2010 sleeper hit about a priest who encounters a real demon-possessed soul while shooting a documentary meant to debunk exorcisms.
Slated for release March 1, The Last Exorcism Part II picks up immediately after the events of the original film and finds lead Ashley Bell reprising her role as the possessed Nell Sweetzer. Ed Gass-Donnelly (This Beautiful City) directs the project from a script he co-wrote with Damien Chazelle (Grand Piano).
Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Looper) and Josh Brolin (Gangster Squad) have joined Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s long-awaited Sin City sequel A Dame to Kill For. Gordon-Levitt will play degenerate gambler Johnny—a character created for the movie— while Brolin steps in as private dick Dwight McCarthy.
Those wondering why Clive Owen isn’t back in the role of Dwight this time out will find answers in the synopsis:
In Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, Dwight is hunted down by the only woman he ever loved, Ava Lord, and then watches his life go straight to hell.
Chronologically, this story takes place prior to “The Big Fat Kill” (featured in the film Frank Miller’s Sin City) and explains how Dwight came to have a dramatically different face.
XLrator Media has released a trailer for its new thriller Riddle, starring “CSI” hottie Elisabeth Harnois, fat Val Kilmer, Diora Baird and Diora Baird’s breasts. The film premieres on VOD on Jan. 10 and on DVD and Blu-ray on Feb. 12.
Harnois stars as a college student attempting to find her missing brother in the town of Riddle, Pennsylvania. Her search soon uncovers a terrifying mystery tied to an abandoned asylum. Kilmer plays Riddle’s portly sheriff and Baird is his busty daughter Amber Richards.
Anchor Bay has released a trailer for its new revenge thriller Girls Against Boys, starring Danielle Panabaker (Piranha 3-DD) as a college girl so fed up with the abuse of men that she joins crazy beyotch Nicole LaLiberte’s (Kaboom) on an increasingly violent and deadly male-bashing spree.
Girls Against Boys costars Lauren Ashleigh, Teena Byrd (“Blue Bloods”), Reyna de Courcy (Coming Up Roses), Liam Aiken (Killer Inside Me), Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield) and Andrew Howard (I Spit On Your Grave). It arrives in theaters on Feb. 1.
Millennium Entertainment has set a Feb. 8 limited theatrical release and VOD date for director Tibor Takacs’ (The Gate) mutant arachnids frightener Spiders 3-D. The PG-13 film will be made available on DVD and Blu-ray on March 12.
The synopsis reads:
Harkening back to the beloved creature features from the 50’s and the 60’s, Spiders 3-D centers on mutant spiders created by pieces of material from a disabled Soviet space station that crash lands on Earth.
With New York City threatened to be overrun by the gigantic killer spiders who have invaded the metropolitan subway system, it’s a race against time to stop the Queen Spider from uniting with her eggs before a deadly chain of events are triggered from the deadly reunion.
Spiders 3-D stars scream queen and Playboy model Christa Campbell (pictured above) as New York City’s hottest health inspector ever. Costars include Patrick Muldoon (Starship Troopers), Johnny Yong Bosch (Insidious), William Hope (Sherlock Holmes), Shelly Varod (Universal Soldier: Regeneration), and Jon Mack (Saw 6).
Happy First Week of the New Year! OK… I’m late to the party, but I bring with me Clatto’s picks for the 10 Sexiest Horror Films of 2012! As always, feel free to play along and add your own sick and twisted selections to the list. You can also peep the lists for 2011 and 2010 should you prefer the classics.
Enjoy!
10. 4:44 LAST DAY ON EARTH
At first glance, 4:44 Last Day On Earth may not seem all that sexy. The leads aren’t exactly head-turners and watching them screw for a couple of hours is about as appealing as watching your parents go at it.
What makes the story sexy, however, is the total emotional and sexual abandon the two lovers display towards each other when they realize the world is going to end the next day at 4:44 p.m. Rather than pray or seek shelter in some bunker, the couple—played by Willem Dafoe and Shanyn Leigh—decide to fuck to the end.
Sure, some may think that the end of the world might be better spent chasing new tail instead of hoping in the sack with the same old ball-and-chain, but those people look like the film’s leads and are delusional. Love the one you’re with and get some anal is definitely the way to go.
9. JACK AND DIANE
Those who like their lesbian erotica hairy will enjoy this little ditty about Jack and Diane, two teen girl lovers doing the best they can. Juno Temple plays Diane, a conquest of New York City butch Jack, portrayed by Elvis Presley’s granddaughter model-turned-actress Riley Keough, looking here more like Elvis’ grandson.
The problem? Diane may be a werewolf. The film is a metaphor for the inner and social struggles faced by Juno Temple’s boobs and lesbian make-out sessions and cool werewolf effects. Kyle Minogue plays a gay cougar named Tara.
8. ATTACK OF THE 50-FOOT CHEERLEADER
Imagine how awesome it would be to literally live out the NWA “Straight Out of Compton” lyric, “I find a good piece of pussy and go up in it.” Hooking up with a 50-foot cheerleader would make that possible. You’d be as happy as a kid jumping around inside a children’s party bounce house.
Attack of the 50-Foot Cheerleader stars Jena Sims as an awkward teen who uses an experimental drug in the hopes of becoming popular and beautiful, but ends up turning into a 50-foot giant freak instead. Sims not only gives us a nude T and an A, she engages in a topless cat-fight with Olivia Alexander.
7. TOKYO SPECIES
Tokyo Species is a Japanese re-imagining of the 1995 MGM sci-fi actioner Species, starring Natasha Henstridge as a horny, but deadly, alien. Director Nozomu Kasagi makes the story his own by adding Japanese school girls and a porn star that poops marbles out of her ass.
Japanese adult video star Maria Ozawa plays Michiko, a high school girl who is shamed into suicide, but re-animated by an alien parasite that turns her into an insatiable sex fiend with a homicidal streak. The only one who can stop her is Mayumi, a good-natured alien hybrid schoolgirl.
6. RITES OF PASSAGE
Rites of Passage tells the story of a psychotic loner (Wes Bentley) looking to secretly perform an ancient Chumash Indian ritual on his secluded beach side property. An unexpected visit from his brother and a group of sexed-up college kids soon complicate matters and shit quickly hits the fan.
The film marks the directorial debut from Point Break and Varsity Blues writer W. Peter Iliff and stars stunners Kate Maberly, Ashley Hinshaw, Sharon Hinnendael, Mercedes Leggett and Briana Evigan (pictured above), who turns in one of the sexiest, scantly-clad cat-and-mouse sequences ever committed to film.
5. STRIPPERS VS. WEREWOLVES
Strippers VS. Werewolves is a British gem of a film that pits a pack of vengeful lycans against the lapdancers responsible for the death of one of their kin. The film is toplined by Barbara Nedeljakov, best known for her performance as topless tourist trap Natalya in director Eli Roth’sHostel.
Co-starring alongside Nedeljakov are “Hollyoaks” stunner Ali Bastian, British porn star Syren Sexton—in all her full-frontal nude glory—and U.K. model Lucy Pinder and her 32-E’s, making their eagerly awaited feature film debut.
4. PIRANHA 3-DD
John Gulager’s sequel to Alexandre Aja’s awesome Piranha reboot is a big fat turd floating in a pool of tired, eye-roll gags, lame jokes and missed opportunities. Its saving grace lies in a rewind-worthy, full-frontal nude scene from Russian Playboy model Irina Voronina.
Bikini-clad performances from Katrina Bowden (“30 Rock”), Danielle Panabaker (The Crazies), Meagan Tandy (Unstoppable) and the unforgettable Tabitha Taylor (pictured) should also keep this stinker from being thrown back. Hopefully, it’s enough to have kept Gulager from sinking the franchise.
3. THE BUNNY GAME
If you ever saw a girl on the street and fantasized what it would be like to spend a weekend making sweet non-consensual love to her in the most degrading and painful manner possible, then The Bunny Game is your When Harry Met Sally.
This charming little rom-com tells the story of a lonely trucker (Jeff Renfro) who abducts a prostitute named Bunny (Rodleen Getsic) and keeps her tied up for three days in the back of his big rig, living out all his fetish porn fantasies. Personally, I couldn’t watch the whole thing… bald chicks and hairy bushes freak me out.
2. KILLER JOE
Though clearly not a horror movie, Killer Joe comes from the twisted mind of William Friedkin, director of The Exorcist, Bug and gay serial killer drama Cruising. What the NC-17 dark comedy lacks in demons and serial killers it makes up with ruthless violence and outrageous sex.
Sure, by now, you’ve seen Juno Temple naked more than you’ve seen yourself, but her full-frontal flash is still appreciated. As is Lori Eden’s boob shots as a stripper. But, the hottest—and most disturbing—scene here involves Gina Gershon going down on a chicken leg.
Gershon’s beat down during the scene is off-putting and the blood on her face gross, but her impressive oral skills shine through. Like the KFC menu, it’s definitely bad for you, but damn don’t it hit the spot.
1. MANIAC
Producer Alexandre Aja (Piranha 3-D) and director Franck Khalfoun’s (P2) POV remake of of William Lustig’s controversial 1980 slasher Maniac takes the top spot on this list for allowing viewers to go on dates as lady-killer Frank Zito. Forget the breath mints and flowers, all you need is a knife to get some head.
Maniac follows Zito—played by Elijah Wood and you—as he scalps the pretty women he meets online to deal with the torment still caused by his dead hooker mother, portrayed toplessly by Playboy model America Olivo (Bitch Slap).
Also providing POV thrills are Genevieve Alexandra (Piranha 3-D), Megan Duffy (Your Name Here) and milfy Jan Broberg (“Everwood”). Maniac played the festival circuit in 2012, but hits theaters this year.
