Universal Pictures has released the first official trailer for the Blumhouse reboot of John Carpenter’s Halloween. David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express) is at the helm and co-writes with longtime collaborator and actor Danny McBride (”Eastbound & Down”).
Halloween creator John Carpenter is an executive producer on the film and Jamie Lee Curtis reprises her role as iconic final girl Laurie Strode. Judy Greer (War for the Planet of the Apes) plays Strode’s daughter, Karen, and Andi Matichak (”666 Park Avenue”) is her hot granddaughter, Allyson.
The new film is set 40 years after the events of the original and find Michael Myers escaping the asylum and returning to the small town where he massacred Strode’s friends on Halloween night. One twist… he’s not Strode’s brother. Not sure how we feel about that, but fuck it — can’t be worse than Rob Zombie’s takes!
Paramount Pictures has released a first trailer for its eagerly anticipated Transformers spinoff Bumblebee — the Autobot good guy that transforms into a yellow VW bug. Hailee Steinfeld stars in the film as a hot coming of age teen whose would-be Herbie adventure is more than meets the eye!
Steinfeld first caught movie audiences attention with her Oscar nominated role in the Western remake True Grit at the age of 13. Roles in the tween sci-fi actioner Ender’s Game, the highly underrated hitman thriller 3 Days to Kill, and musical comedies Pitch Perfect 2 and 3 followed.
Amazon Studios has release a trailer for Suspiria, a remake of Dario Argento’s 1977 classic by director Luca Guadagnino (A Bigger Splash) and writer David Kajganich (The Invasion), starring Dakota Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Tilda Swinton, and Jessica Harper, who topped the original.
Johnson takes the lead in the remake as Suzy Bannion, an American ballet dancer caught in a grisly murder spree at a prestigious dance academy in Europe that serves as a cover for something supernatural and sinister. The film is slated for release Nov. 2.
Kate Bosworth returns to horror with Orion Classics post apocalyptic thriller The Domestics, set to release in selcted theaters June 28 and VOD June 29. The film is written and directed by Mike P. Nelson and co-stars Tyler Hoechlin (“Teen Wolf”).
Bosworth and Hoechlin play a married couple desperately searching for safe haven across a lawless and apocalyptic landscape littered with homicidal gangs warring against each other and victimizing the helpless. Judging by the film’s first released image, Bosworth’s perky nipples raise the stakes on survival!
Bosworth is coming off the creepy kid thriller Before I Wake and amnesia thriller Amnesiac. Notable horror turns include the girl-power, cat-and-mouse thriller Black Rock and Straw Dogs, a remake of Sam Peckinpah’s controversial 1971 home-invasion drama about a married couple terrorized by rape-happy rapscallions in the London countryside.
Sarah Shahi (“Person of Interest”) stars in the new NBC sci-fi series, Reverie. The show premiered this week to disappointing ratings, suggesting it may be time to get Shahi in a bikini and/or lesbian scene to prevent cancellation — you can never act too soon, people’s jobs are on the line!
Shahi plays a former hostage negotiator-turned-college professor hired for her expertise in human behavior to bring people back from a cutting-edge and extremely addicting virtual reality program designed to help them escape their shitty lives. Those who don’t return risk said shitty lives.
Shahi is best known as brooding, bisexual government assassin Dr. Sameen Shaw on the CBS police procedural and AI sci-fi drama “Person of Interest” and sexy lesbian DJ Carmen de la Pica Morales on Showtimes’ “The L Word.”
British stunner Kaya Scodelario (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales) is set to star in Crawl, a new man vs. nature thriller from producer Sam Raimi (Evil Dead) and director Alexandre Aja (High Tension, Piranha 3D).
The film stars Scodelario as a hot young woman fighting off a vicious alligator while attempting to save her father from a flooding house during a Category 5 hurricane in Florida.
Scodelario is best known for playing the female lead in both the gay dystopian franchise The Maze Runner and Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Notable creds include her feature film debut Moon, the 2010 remake of Clash o the Titans, home invasion thriller Tiger House, and the upcoming Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil, and Vile.
Jessica Morris, the topless star ofthe hit 2008 comedy Role Models, stars in Human Centipede director Tom Six’s new demented thriller, The Onania Club- – described by Six as “one of the most vile, inhumane movie experiences of all time.”
An archaic term for masturbation, The Onania Club suggests the film’s mostly female cast may be flicking the bean and clam smacking throughout. Co-stars include Darcy DeMoss, Deborah Twiss, Karen Strassman, and Flo Lawrence. It’s slated for release in fall.
Morris made her horror debut in the 2000 teen slasher Bloody Murder. Additional creds include the indie frighteners The Dead Want Women, Venom, and Evil Bong 666. She is best known, however, for playing Linda the topless teacher in Role Models.
“Bates Motel” stunner Nicola Peltz takes up residence in Our House, a supernatural thriller from director Anthony Scott Burns (“Holidays”) and writers Nathan Parker (Moon) and Matt Osterman (Ghost in the Machine), slated for release July 27 from IFC Midnight.
Our House centers on a tech genius who invents a device that amplifies the paranormal activity in his family’s home, conjuring up spirits of loved ones lost and not so friendly ghosts too. Not sure if Peltz plays girlfriend, classmate, sibling, or neighbor, but we do know it’s the hot version of whichever.
