High School Musical alumna Ashley Tisdale is set to join Nicolas Cage in Cloud Ten Pictures long-delayed remake of Left Behind, a 2001 end-of-days thriller based on Jerry B. Jenkins and Tim LaHaye’s bestselling Christian novel about Rapture rejects.
Tisdale will play Chloe Steele, daughter of Rayford Steele, an adulterous airline pilot (Cage). When the good people in the world are taken by the Rapture to join God and Kirk Cameron’s army against Satan, the Steele’s are shit out of luck and forced to live on earth with the faithless for seven chaotic years.
At the end of those seven years, they must decide between joining Team Christ or Team Anti-Christ, a decision that’s probably not so hard to make if you know the Almighty exists and turning your back on him means taking a cannonball into a lake of hell.
Left Behind has a budget of $15 million and is slated to go into production this year. Vic Armstrong is attached to direct from a script penned by Paul Lalonde and John Patus, writers of the original franchise, which starred Kirk Cameron.

So no, I’m totally not allowed to talk about it.

The only thing more terrifying than mother nature is human nature mother fuckers. That is the lesson being taught in producer Eli Roth’s Aftershock, a disaster flick set during the aftermath of the 2010 Chilean earthquake.
Chilean director Nicolás López (Que Pena Tu Vida) helms the project that stars Roth, Ariel Levy and Nicolás Martínez as dudes whose efforts to get laid by sisters Lorenza Izzo and Andrea Osvárt and their Russian model girlfriend Natasha Yarovenko (pictured) are thwarted when an earthquake hits.
Things go from bad to muy malo when the group digs its way out of the rubble to find that the entire city has gone ape shit—looting, killing, raping and littering.
Dimension Films has released a trailer for its eagerly anticipated by no one sequel Scary Movie 5. Directed by Malcolm Lee (Undercover Brother) and co-written by producer David Zucker (Airplane), the horror-comedy spoofs Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan and, of course, Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity.
While it’s easy to slam Scary Movie 5, it does have one thing going for it: a cast of hotties that includes Lindsay Lohan (Machete), Ashley Tisdale (High School Musical), Audrina Patridge (Sorority Row), Heather Locklear (“Melrose Place”) and former Playboy Playmate Kendra Wilkinson (Scary Movie 4).
But be warned… all the black people will be at Marlon Wayan’s Haunted House spoof, which means you’ll be able to hear every bad joke Scary Movie 5 throws at you on April 12.
