Wolves is screenwriter David Hayter’s (The Scorpion King) directorial debut. It stars “Game of Thrones” bad ass Jason Momoa and sexy up-and-comer Merritt Patterson. The story revolves around an 18-year-old orphan (Lucas Till) who ends up in the middle of a werewolf war while looking for answers to his ancestry.
While any of that is enough to spark interest in the project, what makes Wolves a must-see for genre fans is the casting of America’s new sci-fi sweetheart Kaitlyn Leeb. The Chinese and Irish stunner played the iconic role of Mary the three-breasted hooker in this summer’s Total Recall remake.
No word on Leeb’s character, but how cool would it be if she kept the three-boob prosthetic in every film going forward? Yes, I coulda been an agent.
Ashley Greene (Twilight Saga) is in talks to join Haley Bennett (The Haunting of Molly Hartley) in The Weinstein Company’s recently announced frightener Satanic. Oliver Blackburn (Donkey Punch) is attached to direct from a script by Anthony Jaswinski (Vanishing on 7th Street).
Satanic follows a group of college kids as they’re attacked in their dormitory during the Thanksgiving Day holiday by what I assume are satanic hooligans. The film shoots this month in New Orleans and is slated for release on Aug. 30, 2013.
Greene, best known to Twi-hards as Alice Cullen—Edward’s adopted little sister—in Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Saga, was last seen in this summer’s impressively stupid, not-so-supernatural thriller The Apparition.
The force is strong with Academy Award winning screenwriter Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine). Along with penning the Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller Oblivion and adapting Suzanne Collins’ Hunger Games: Catching Fire for Lionsgate, Arndt will now write the script for Star Wars: Episode VII.
In case you’ve been in a coma or are a Star Trek geek, Disney purchased Lucasfilm LTD in October for $4.05 billion in stocks and cash. Plans for a new Star Wars trilogy, beginning with Episode VII to be released in 2015, soon followed.
Arndt made his Oscar-winning screenwriting debut in 2006 with the irreverent comedy Little Miss Sunshine (Best Original Screenplay). He followed that up with the Academy Award nominated Toy Story 3 (Best Adapted Screenplay).
Spy Kids child star Alexa Vega plays whore house hit-woman KillJoy in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete Kills, a sequel to the director’s 2010 grind-house actioner Machete. The 24-year-old Latina posted the above image on her Instagram to tease the sexy new role.
Many say Rodriguez is exploiting Vega—an actress he first hired at age 13—by stripping her down to lingerie and chaps. Vega, however, has told the media that she took the part to “own her sexuality.” I’m just wondering if that’s the same outfit Jessica Alba wore in Rodriguez’s Sin City… think about that for a minute.
Paramount Pictures released this week the first trailer for its big screen adaptation of author Max Brooks novel World War Z. The film is directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace) and stars Brad Pitt, Mirielle Enos (”The Killing”), Julia Levy-Boeken (“Entourage”), Ed Harris (The Abyss), and Matthew Fox (”LOST”).
The footage shown in the trailer should give the willies to anyone who’s seen “Infested” on Animal Planet or lived in New York. The zombies attack in droves. They scurry. They steal watermelon from your picnic table. It’s pretty unsettling.
Clatto favorite Briana Evigan is currently in negotiations to star in Slater Brothers Entertainment and Eden Vale’s long gestating frightener 3:30 A.M. Mick Davis, screenwriter of 2007’s The Invisible, is attached to direct the project.
3:30 a.m. combines the eerie science of the autonomic nervous system with the real horror of one girl’s terrifying journey.
Sounds like that time I was coming back from Tijuana after having drank the water.
3:30 A.M. is slated to shoot in Romania in February. Producers are also in talks with Matt Dallas (“Kyle XY”) to costar.
Evigan most recently starred in Darren Lynn Bousman’s horror musical The Devil’s Carnival and his remake of the 1980 Troma Entertainment’s rape/revenge thriller Mother’s Day. She can also be seen in screenwriter W. Peter Iliff’s (Point Break, Patriot Games) directorial debut Rites of Passage.
A creepy trailer has gone online for the Lacey Chabert-toplined frightener Ghost of Goodnight Lane, a supernatural story based on writer/director Alin Bijan’s own bump-in-the-night encounters at his haunted production house Media World Studios.
Ghost of Goodnight Lane centers on a group of actors tormented by a malevolent female specter while shooting a project inside a renovated movie studio. Costars include Danielle Harris (Halloween), Christine Quinn (Shark Night), Matt Dallas (”Kyle XY”), Richard Tyson (Black Waters of Echo Pond) and Billy Zane (The Roommate).
This thing seriously freaks me out. The makeup; the faces… just disturbing. Still, I can’t stop myself from watching the 2:23 mark over-and-over.
Anchor Bay Films has released the first official trailer for its re-imagining of Charles E. Sellier Jr.’s beloved holiday classic Silent Night, Deadly Night, in selected theaters Nov. 30 and on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 4. While it doesn’t look nearly as disturbing as the 1984 original, the Steven C. Miller-directed slasher appears to have enough creative kills to keep our Christmas spirits up.
Silent Night, Deadly Night follows a murderous Santa as he slays residents of a small Midwestern town during its annual Christmas day celebration. The film stars Jaime King (Mother’s Day), Malcolm McDowell (Silent Hill: Revelations), Donal Logue (Shark Night), Ellen Wong (Scott Pilgrim), Lisa Marie (Lords of Salem) and Brendan Fehr (“Roswell”).
“Spartacus” stunner Viva Bianca stars opposite AnnaLynne McCord (Excision) and Billy Zane (Titanic) in Scorned, a Fatal Attraction-like thriller helmed by Leprechaun director Mark Jones for Lightening Entertainment.
Having done horror with comedy, I wanted to delve into something more sophisticated along the lines of Fatal Attraction and Misery.
Scorned stars McCord and Zane as Sadie and Kevin, a couple staying at a lake house during a romantic getaway weekend. Bianca plays Jennifer, Sadie’s not so BFF who is out to seduce Kevin by any means possible, free of conscience and regardless of consequence.
Bianca is best known for her turn as Commander Legatus Claudius Glaber’s oft-nude wife Iliythia on Starz’s hit swords-and-sandals series “Spartacus.” The 28-year-old Aussie can also be seen as a burnt-out prostitute out to do one last big trick in IFC Midnight’s X.
Former porn star Sasha Grey (Cum Fart Cocktails 5) is set to join Elijah Wood (Lord of the Rings) in Timecrimes director Nacho Vigalondo’s Open Windows, a “high-tech” abduction thriller made to appear as if viewed on a laptop screen. The Wild Bunch-produced project marks the Spanish filmmaker’s English-language debut.
Instead of simulating a home video camera, we will be representing a computer desktop. The movie screen becomes a computer screen, and the spectator becomes the protagonist of this adventure.
Open Windows follows Wood as he desperately searches for a kidnapped actress, played by Grey. British actor Neil Maskell (Kill List) is Grey’s abductor, Chord. The film, now shooting in Madrid, is to be presented in real time and will utilize webcams, tablets, mobile phones and satellite and security cams.
I once thought my favorite porn star had been abducted. Turns out she turned 28 and can only be found on MILF sites now.
