Malaysian model/actress Natassia Malthe is set to reprise her role as deadly dhampir (half vampire/half human) Rayne in German director Uwe Boll’s BloodRayne 4, the latest chapter in the popular home video franchise based on the Terminal Reality video game of the same name.
No word on what sinister forces Malthe will face in the new BloodRayne movie, but whatever they may be chances are she’ll do it naked. The 37-year-old stunner has already gone nude while battling evil in BloodRayne 3: The Third Reich, the 2005 Last House on the Left ripoff Chaos and the possession thriller Devil’s Highway.
Malthe’s other genre creds include Boll’s Bloodrayne 2: Deliverance, Universal’s Alone in the Dark 2, the werewolf thriller Skinwalkers, superhero flick Electra (she shared a kiss with Jennifer Garner), Halloween: Resurrection, the David E. Kelly penned creature-feature Lake Placid, and the stupidly awesome DOA: Dead or Alive.
Up next are roles in writer/director Matthew Schilling’s feature film debut Avarice (opposite Kevin Sorbo) and Boll’s … In the Name of the King 2 (with Dolph Lundgren).
Naughty Dog’s eagerly anticipated adventure game “Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception” will hit the streets on Nov. 1. To promote the release in Japan, Sony tapped Harrison Ford to play a demo of the game and filmed his reactions and thoughts.
Peep it:
Ford, whom game developers have cited as an inspiration for protagonist Nathan Drake, had never played any of the “Uncharted” games before and was quite impressed with it’s action and humor. The beloved 69-year-old actor also compared “Drake’s Deception” to working in movies.
He says:
I think it’s remarkable. The storytelling is very visual and exciting and the action just keeps on coming. I think it’s very realistic and very dramatic. I love the reality of the character’s reactions to the situations he’s in. It’s very exciting.
There’s so much more action here than there is normally in a movie. It’s so much more concentrated. Of course, there are a lot more, when you’re an actor playing in a role, there are a lot of other obligations that you have, but it’s very much like being in the movie for me. Except, the movie I always win. In the game, sometimes I don’t win.
My wife and I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, and just about every Ford film out there. But, if we see him playing “Uncharted 3” on multiplayer, we won’t hesitate to go all Regarding Henry on his ass and put a cap in his head.
Curnan Pictures has released a trailer for Cyborg director Albert Pyun’s new green-screened pulp thriller Road to Hell (think Sin City on a porn budget). The flick stars B-lister Michael Pare as Cody, a soldier-turned-serial-killer looking to find his childhood sweetheart.
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s” Clare Kramer (pictured above) and “Boston Public’s” Courtney Peldon play Caitlin and Ash, the sexy hot-to-trot spree killers Cody runs into while on the road to a place called Edge City.
If you woke up to find you had super powers, would you squeeze into your sister’s tights and set out to fight other guys in tights … or would you use those powers to scare kids and get women naked? That’s the dilemma facing three teenage boys in 20th Century Fox’s thought provoking found-footage sci-fi drama Chronicle.
Directed by Josh Trank from a script by Max Landis, son of John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), the film stars Michael B. Jordan (“Friday Night Lights”), Alex Russell (Bait), Dane DeHaan (“In Treatment”), Joe Vaz (Lost Boys: The Thirst), Anna Wood, and Ashley Hinshaw (Rites of Passage).
Want to see a fight between a zombie and a shark? Then you won’t want to miss Blue Underground’s special midnight showings of horror icon Lucio Fulci’s 1979 gore classic Zombie, playing in theaters Oct. 21 and 22. Digitally restored and remastered from the original uncut and uncensored camera negative, the film will also be available on DVD and Blu-ray on 2-disc sets on Oct. 25.
Fulci’s ZOMBIE contains the greatest scene ever committed to celluloid, and that is a zombie fighting a shark. Fulci put a stuntman dressed as a zombie in a tank with a live shark and made them fight – it’s one of the craziest, most insane and irresponsible scenes ever put on film.
This was 1980, years before CG. And the zombie wins! To this day, nobody knows how in the hell he did it, it’s simply jaw-dropping. There’s nothing you will see in any modern zombie movie that comes close to what Fulci did in 1980. Viva Fulci!
Zombie, originally released in Italy as an unofficial sequel to George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead, centers on a woman’s (Tisa Farrow) search for her sick and missing father (Ugo Bologna) on the island of Matool, where a local doctor (Richard Johnson) is attempting to find a way to stop the undead from eating the living. The film is beloved by gore-geeks and cited as influential by filmmakers such as Roth and Guillermo del Toro.
Zombie plays in Los Angeles tonight at the New Beverly Cinema. To find a theater showing near you, go here.
Back in my youth, when I used to frequent bars to meet up with hookers friends, I sometimes arrived too early and had no choice but to sit alone and pretend to watch whatever game was on the big screen. Without fail, some sports-loving social-butterfly would approach me and ask my opinion on a game, team, or player.
Unfortunately, I was too be busy setting fires and torturing small animals as a kid to ever take an interest in sports. To this day, I feel so excluded when people carry on about football, basketball, hockey, ping-pong, and so on. But, that changes today … today, I’m talking football!
Cheerleaders for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers recently took their tone and scantily-clad butts down to the Howl-O-Scream haunted event at the Busch Gardens theme park in Tampa, FL. While the maze (see video below) doesn’t look all that frightful, the girls nonetheless shriek, run, and jiggle like true scream queens.
Dimension Films premiered a teaser for director John Gulager’s Piranha 3-DD at the 6th annual Spike TV Scream Awards. The clip is only 30-seconds long, but reveals David Hasselhoff’s inspired cameo and a pair of running DD-breasts so spectacular you’ll spend the rest of the work week searching the web for the aspiring actress that owns them.
Colombian actress Catalina Sandino Moreno has signed on to star in writer/director Tommy O’Haver’s (Ella Enchanted) new psycho-killer thriller Spree. The 30-year-old looker will costar opposite “The Big C’s” Hugh Dancy in a story that follows a would-be groom as he murders everyone at his bachelor party while recording his kills on a flip cam.
Hmm. I thought it was common practice to just kill the strippers.
Moreno, an Academy Award nominee for her performance in 2004’s drug trafficking drama Maria Full of Grace, is coming off of Summit’s The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, in which she played Mexican vamp Maria.

The Academy award-winning starlet will next be seen in the hilariously twisted Diablo Cody (Jennifer’s Body) penned comedy Young Adult, Ridley Scott’s epic Alien counterpart Prometheus and Universal Pictures’ dark re-imagining of Snow White and the Huntsman.

Oft nude scream queen Barbara Crampton, best known for her roles in Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator and From Beyond, is the latest to join Zombie’s eclectic cast.
Says Zombie:
Salem re-animates! Barbara Crampton has joined the cast of THE LORDS OF SALEM as Virginia Cable, a camera operator for a local kid’s show at Salem Public Access TV called LOBSTER JOE’S FISHY FUN SHOW. She should be safe enough working there… or is she?
