Alicia Vikander is set to star in Freakshift, a horror-actioner from acclaimed writer and director Ben Wheatley (Kill List). Vikander will play the leader of a misfit squad of cops tasked with hunting down nocturnal underground monsters – like C.H.U.D.!!!

Vikander was named Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars last year for her role in The Danish Girl, but movie audiences most likely saw her in the A.I. thriller Ex Machina and, possibly, the criminally underrated Man From U.N.C.L.E. remake .

Vikander will next be playing the iconic role of Lara Croft in director Roar Uthaug’s (Cold Prey) Tomb Raider reboot for MGM and GK Films.

Rooney Mara has officially been nixed from reprising the role of emotionally disturbed hacker Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming sequel to Sony Pictures’ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, opening doors to more beautiful and sexy actresses like Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, and Alicia Vikander – all said to be up for the part.

Fede Alvarez, director of exceptional fright flicks Don’t Breathe and 2013’s Evil Dead remake, is at the helm of the sequel, titled The Girl in the Spider’s Web, and is very excited about casting his new, hotter female lead.

He tells Variety:

Lisbeth Salander is the kind of character any director dreams of bringing to life. We’ve got a great script and now comes the most fun part — finding our Lisbeth.

Damn straight that’s gonna be fun. Mara went nude and scored an Oscar nomination. Alvarez could be in for the ass parade of his life! Lets hope agents for Alexandra Daddario and Megan Fox are already on this too!

“The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is the first book in what is collectively known as the Millennium Trilogy, novels by late Swedish author Stieg Larsson. They have sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. Larrson, a journalist and political activist, died of a heart attack at the age 50 in 2004. According to his longtime live-in girlfriend Eva Gabrielsson, he left behind pages to his unfinished fourth book in the series.

“The Girl in the Spider’s Web” is not based on those pages, but instead written by David Lagercrantz with the Larsson’s estate’s support. Gabrielsson calls Lagercrantz an “idiotic choice” for carrying on the book series.

Alvarez’s The Girl in the Spider’s Web is slated for release Oct. 5, 2018.

Medallion Releasing has set an April 28 theatrical release date for German director Marcel Walz’s remake of Blood Feast, the 1963 H.G. Lewis classic that carries the distinction of being the very first splatter film. Walz’s credits include Seed 2 and Le Petite Mort (Little Death).

Robert Rusler, they called him “Mad” Max in Weird Science, plays an American restaurateur in France, moonlighting at a museum where he falls for an Egyptian deity demanding human sacrifice, including the lives of his wife and daughter, played by stunner Sophie Monk.

Horror fans will know Monk from her nude-acting roles in the 2009 slasher The Hills Run Red and the 2007 horror comedy Sex and Death 101.

South African model-turned-actress Tanya van Graan co-stars in Tremors 6, the newest sequel in the ongoing monster movie franchise first introduced in 1990 and starring Kevin Bacon. This time out, the worms and creatures terrorize Canada and could be part of a weaponizing conspiracy.

No word on what role Graan plays in Tremors 6, but we’re hopeful she’s the someone in this synopsis:

… the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom — but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid!

Now, that right there is a guarantee for pre-orders!

Genre fans will know Graan from her work in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, Lost Boys: The Thirst, and Death Race 2 & 3 with fellow South African stunner Tanit Phoenix. She was named FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World 2007.

Malin Akerman is set to star in Rampage, New Line’s adaptation of the 80’s arcade game pitting players against three giant monsters mutated from a gorilla, a crocodile, and a wolf. Akerman will play the head of the tech company responsible for creating and unleashing the creatures.

Brad Peyton (San Andreas) is at the helm and Dwayne Johnson stars. Co-stars include Joe Manganiello (“True Blood”), Naomie Harris (Spectre), Marley Shelton (Grindhouse), and Breanne Hill (San Andreas). Cameras roll next month in Atlanta.

Akerman came to fame as sexy costumed crime fighter Silk Spectre II in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen. She’s since stuck mostly to romantic comedies up until her current role in the Showtime drama “Billions.”

Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for it’s upcoming Wonder Woman origins film, starring Gal Gadot as the Amazonian warrior princess out to stop World War I and get some much needed D from American intelligence officer Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).

The new trailer is epic, action-packed, and Gadot in her costume lingerie is – as the young kids say today – sexy AF! Unfortunately, there is still no hint at any of the much debated girl-girl action on the all-female island of Themyscira, Wonder Woman’s home. But, how sick is the gold lasso!

Peep it:

Margot Robbie is set to steal from the rich and give to the poor in Sony Pictures’ fem-driven Robbin Hood spinoff, Marian. Penned by newcomer Pete Barry, the film stars Robbie as Hood’s loving wife, Maid Marian, who takes up his cause after he meets a sudden demise.

Robbie is a producer on the film, which was at the center of a major bidding war among studios. No word on what the Maid Marian’s costume will look like, but we can only hope its the Suicide Squad wardrobe team if not the Wolf of Wall Street 🙂

Robbie is coming off a scene-stealing role as Harley Quinn in Warner Bros. convoluted blockbuster Suicide Squad and played Jane in the studio’s  charming sleeper hit The Legend of Tarzan. She also starred in Lionsgate’s post-apocalyptic romance drama Z for Zachariah.

Production has begun on Polaroid, a new supernatural thriller from Dimension Films and the producers of The Ring. The film marks Norwegian director Lars Klevberg’s feature debut and is based on his 2015 movie short of he same name.

Said to be in the ilk of The Ring and Final Destination, Polaroid tells the tale of a high school loner who discovers a vintage Polaroid camera that threatens the lives of those whose photographs are taken. It’s slate for release Aug. 25.

If that isn’t enough to pique your interest, consider the film’s casting of stunning up-and-comer Priscilla Quintana (pictured above). Quintana has guest-starred on Showtime’s “Masters of Sex” and played an uncredited “foam girl” in Universal’s Furious 7 – that’s enough for us! She will also co-star in Chain Letter director Deon Taylor’s Stranded.

Charlize Theron is gorgeous, but we all know Margot Robbie has stolen her thunder in Hollywood. While Theron took on roles that downplayed her hotness and bore us to no end, Margot emerged as sex symbol extraordinaire, going full-nude in her movie debut and most recently playing geek fantasy Harley Quinn.

But, now, Theron is back! The leggy stunner stars as a ruthless MI6 assassin with a taste for Sofia Boutella’s vaginal charms in John Wick director David Leitch’s Atomic Blonde, an adaptation of graphic novel “The Coldest City.” It arrives in theaters July 28.

Peep it:

“Graceland” and “Breakout Kings” stunner Serinda Swan is set to play Medusa in Marvel’s new ABC series “Inhumans,” premiering this fall with an eight episode season.  The series centers on the Inhuman Royal Family, a race of superhumans created by aliens through experiments on primitive man.

Swan’s Medusa doesn’t rock snakes for hair, but instead has beautiful flowing red tresses she can animate through psychokinesis and use as a weapon and to carry out a variety of tasks. She is the queen of the Inhumans, a warrior who is also wife and trusted advisor to King Black Bolt (Anson Mount).

Swan played Aphrodite in Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightening Thief and sorceress Zatanna Zatara on The CW’s “Smallville.” Fright fans may recognize her from monster movie Creature and creepy supernatural thriller Jinn. She’s best known for playing bounty hunter Erica Reed on A&E’s “Breakout Kings” and DEA agent Paige Arkin on USA’s “Graceland.”
