Skyline Entertainment has released a trailer for its new supernatural thriller The Toybox, starring Denise Richards (Wild Things) as a hot MILF tormented by an evil force while on a cross-country trip with her family and the mysterious sexy stranger they pick up along the way, played by Mischa Barton (“The O.C.”).
Richards, whose breakthrough came with 1997’s Starship Troopers and the following year’s epic who-done-it erotic thriller Wild Things, makes her return to horror with The Toybox. She hasn’t starred in the genre since 2001’s Valentine and 2003’s Scary Movie 3.
The Purge, as we’ve come to know, is a government sanctioned 12-hour night during which all criminal activity, including murder, is permissible by law to satiate society’s need to be dicks and keep the peace for the rest of the year – all while slyly encouraging the less fortunate to turn on themselves.
But … did you know that The First Purge got off to a rocky start? Sure, some of your expected ruffians and ne’er-do-wells grabbed their bats and Party City masks to paint the town blood red, but most were too scared and/or morally conflicted to go out. The government had to send in troops incognito.
That’s what we learn while watching the recently released trailer for Blumhouse and Universal Pictures’ new Purge prequel, The First Purge. It makes sense. If you could break any law for one night, wouldn’t you just steal a pizza and stay in illegally downloading movies and music all night? Everything else seems like such a hassle.
HBO Films has released a new trailer for its upcoming adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s classic novel Fahrenheit 451. Michael B. Jordan (Creed) stars as protagonist Guy Montag, a “fireman” tasked with burning books in a dystopian society where people are happily kept ignorant by their government.
Kingsman and Atomic Blonde stunner Sofia Boutella plays Clarisse, a young free-spirit who intrigues Montag with her ideals and hot banging body – c’mon, like he’d really be walking home with a fattie talking all that non-conformist babble?
Hot on the heels of her Oscar nominated performance as disgraced Olympian Tonya Harding in I, Tonya, box office champ and stunner Margot Robbie returns to theaters May 11th in Vaughn Stein’s noirish thriller Terminal.
Robbie plays a waitress caught in an assassination plot along with a fatally ill teacher and an oddball janitor. The trailer, however, soon reveals Margot’s waitress may be more than she seems – for starters, she appears to be a stripper and this is where I stop writing because that’s all you need to know isn’t it?
Stunner Naomi Watts is joining Mel Gibson and Frank Grillo in director Joe Carnahan’s (The Grey) time loop thriller Boss Level. The film finds Grillo playing retired special forces veteran trapped in a never ending cycle resulting in his death until he can figure out who killed him and why.
No word on what role Watts will play in the film, but here’s hoping it involves a frivolous and full-frontal nude lovemaking scene that plays over and over and over again.
Watts is coming off Showtime’s “Twin Peaks” revival and the thriller Shut In. Her notable genre creds include her star-making turn in Gore Verbinski’s The Ring, Peter Jackson’s King Kong, Michael Haneke’s 2007 Funny Games remake, the Divergent series, J.A. Bayona’s The Impossible, David Lynch’s erotic thriller Mulholland Dr., and her 1996 horror debut, Children of the Corn: The Gathering.
A trailer has gone online for the indie creature feature The Sitter, starring Aisling Knight (Exorcism) as a broke college student tormented by an evil entity while babysitting for an eccentric couple over a long weekend.
We don’t know who Aisling Knight is of course, but she’s hot enough to make us overlook the Party City mask used for the monster in the movie and hope for the best: a gratuitous shower scene with extra soapy scrubbing!
A new trailer has gone online for Ghostland, Pascal Laugier eagerly awaited followup to his gruesome masterpiece Martyrs. Crystal Reed (“Gotham”) plays a successful horror novelist living with her traumatized sister, Anastasia Phillips (”Reign”), in the house where they once survived a brutal home invasion.
Co-starring alongside Reed and Phillips (”Reign”) are Mylène Farmer (Giorgino) as their mother and Taylor Hickson (Deadpool) and Emily Jones (High-Rise) as younger versions of the sisters. Ghost Land is slated for release April 2018.
The Wishing Forest follows a widow, a thief, and a warrior on a quest to find a magical wish-fulfilling unicorn in a forest overrun by cannibals serving a vicious queen with an insatiable appetite, played by the film’s producer – glamour model-turned-actress Stormi Maya (pictured above).
The Wishing Forest is written by Jamie Grefe (Shark Babes) and helmed by newbie directors Leia and Jadzia Perez. Model/actress Karin Brauns toplines the film, due out later this year.
Milfy model-turned-actress Famke Janssen joins Nicolas Cage in Primal, a new thriller pitting the duo against a frightening mix of deadly animals and a ruthless assassin while onboard a South American freighter bound for the U.S.
Janssen plays a neurologist lieutenant in the U.S. Navy. Cage is a big-game hunter hired to bring back exotic animals from the Amazon to American zoos. When a political assassin being extradited to the U.S. escapes, he frees all the beasts.
Janssen made her horror film debut Clive Barker‘s Lord of Illusions and played Dr. Jean Grey (AKA: Phoenix) in the X-Men franchise. She starred in producer Eli Roth’s Netflix series “Hemlock Grove” and the frighteners Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Don’t Say a Word, The House on Haunted Hill, Hide and Seek, Deep Rising, and The Faculty.
“Hemlock Grove” and “Vampire Diaries” alumna Penelope Mitchell plays a small town woman waking up every morning with mysterious bite marks on her body after moving to the city in Gravitas Ventures’ Apartment 212.
In addition to her roles on “Hemlock” and “Diaries,” Mitchell has got an impressive string of horror creds to her name, including road thriller Curve, Fear of Darkness, 6 Plots, and the Bret Easton Ellis penned Curse of Downers Grove. She’ll next be seen in Neil Marshall’s Hellboy reboot.
