Model-turned-actress Beau Garrett (Tron: Legacy) stars alongside Josh Duhamel (Transformers) and stunner Rebekah Graf (The Dirt) in Capsized: Blood in the Water, an original scripted shark thriller set to premiere July 31st as part of the Discovery Channel’s 31st annual “Shark Week.”
The film is a reunion for Garrett and Duhamel, who co-starred together in 2006’s highly underrated abduction frightener Turistas—Garrett’s major movie acting debut.
Based on a true story, Capsized: Blood in the Water follows the crew of an overturned yacht as they drift in the Atlantic fending off man-eating tiger sharks out to devour them for a tasty meal. But, hey, remember sharks are nice and like people and are probably more scared of you…
Get outta here, Shark Week, and sell that crazy to the peeps that got eaten alive and inspired this horrific tale! Shark Week premieres this year on July 28.
Move over “Watchmen,” “The Boys” are here to spank superhero ass with zero pretensions and a whole lotta pizazz! The new Amazon Original series premieres today and has already been greenlit for season two on the strength of its execution and buzz.
Like “Watchmen,” the series presents a world where costumed heroes aren’t always super. In this world, superheroes are superstars—revered celebrities with way too much influence. And , like celebrities, they’ve become selfish, narcissistic assholes who need to be checked.
Enter “The Boys.” Led by Karl Urban at his most angry setting, this gritty group of vigilantes are out for corrupt superhero blood using nothing more than their rage and willingness to fight dirty.
Sony Pictures released today a first trailer for Zombieland: Double Tap, the long awaited sequel to the hit 2009 horror-comedy, starring Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee), Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), Abigail Breslin (Little Rock), and Emma Stone (Wichita).
The sequel takes our heroes on a journey from the White House to the American heartland, meeting new survivors along the way and battling stronger breeds of the undead.
Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) directs from a script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Deadpool). New faces include Rosario Dawson (“Dare Devil”), Zoey Deutch (Vampire Academy), and Luke Wilson (Idiocracy). Zombieland: Double Tap arrives in theaters Oct. 18.
The USA Network has released its first teaser-trailer for season two of “The Purge,” a small-screen companion series to the Blumhouse hit movie franchise. Set to premiere in the fall, the new season will be 10 episodes long and explore the ramifications of Purge night for a handful of participants for the remaining year.
Now, that is one hell of a concept and holds potential for an enthralling season. We had given up hope on the TV series after season one, but faith in our New Founding Fathers just may have been restored.
While we prefer our animation chockful of tentacles and Asian maids, an animated Harley Quinn series is something we could get excited about, especially one voiced by Kaley Cuoco (“Big Bang Theory”) for DC Universe.
Unfortunately, this Harley Quinn is more PG-13 than full blown adult—just a brat that curses and wacks peeps in the nuts. “Stripperella” this is not. But, hey, those shorts look painted on!
Vertical Entertainment has released a trailer for She’s Missing. The film stars Eiza Gonzalez as an aspiring rodeo queen who one day disappears, leaving her best friend (Lucy Fry) to search for her on a dangerous trek across the New Mexico desert.
Horror fans will immediately recognize Gonzalez as the courageous stunner who stepped into Salma Hayek’s stilettos to play Satanico Pandemonium in Robert Rodriguez’s small screen adaptation of his 1996 vampire crime thriller From Dusk Till Dawn.
Horror streaming service Shudder has set a Sept. 26 premiere date for its new original anthology series “Creepshow.” Based on the beloved 1982 movie collaboration between writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero, the show hails from producer/director/makeup guru Greg Nicotero (“Walking Dead”).
“Creepshow” will feature a variety of stories written by horror’s top scribes and helmed by the genre’s best. Starring in the first season will be Tobin Bell (SAW), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator), Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”), Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), DJ Qualls (Road Trip), David Arquette (Scream), and stunner Tricia Helfer (pictured).
CBS Films and Lionsgate have released a new creepy as fuck trailer for producer Guillermo del Toro’s eagerly anticipated adaptation of Alvin Schwartz’s terrifying 80’s children’s book series “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.”
Helmed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), the film is set in 1968 and follows a group of American teenagers tormented by the tales of a deeply traumatized girl in a book they find while breaking into the mansion she once lived.
Heavy metal outfit Slipknot have released a video for “Solway Firth,” the second track from its sixth album “We Are Not Your Kind,” out Aug. 9. The video features gory good fun from scenes of Amazon Original’s new anti-hero series “The Boys.”
“The Boys” follows a group of vigilantes out for corrupt superhero blood using nothing more than their grit and willingness to fight dirty. The show premieres July 26.
Ana de la Reguera (“Narcos”) is set to battle the living dead for director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) this summer in his return to the zombies, Army of the Dead. The Mexican stunner plays part of a mercenary squad out to pull a heist in Las Vegas during a zombie outbreak.
She joins an ensemble cast that includes Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Garret Dillahunt (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Theo Rossi (“Sons of Anarchy”), Nora Amezeder (Maniac), and hot up-and-comer Ella Purnell (Maleficent).
Fright fans may recognize de la Reguera from roles in “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” Kevin Greutert’s creepy 2014 supernatural thriller Jessabelle, and 2011’s Cowboys & Aliens.
Army of the Dead marks Snyder’s return to directing after last helming 2017’s Justice League and will premiere as a Netflix exclusive.
