Elle Fanning is set to star in Predator: Badlands, a new standalone film in the Predator universe from Prey director Dan Trachtenberg. Fanning will play the dual role of hot twin sisters in a story interlocked with that of a kinder, gentler Predator worthy of empathy and support.
Fanning first fanned interest among genre fans in 2011 with J.J. Abrams’ fam-friendly sci-fi thriller Super 8and Francis Ford Coppola’s Twixt. Other notable performances include roles as Sleeping Beauty in Maleficent and its sequel Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and as an aspiring fashion model among cannibalistic catwalkers in Neon Demon, Clatto’s top pick in its esteemed list of The 10 Sexiest Horror Films of 2016.
Badlands will be the eighth entry in the long-running franchise that includes the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger original, the 1990 followup Predator 2 with Danny Glover, producer Robert Rodriguez’s underrated 2010 reboot Predators, Shane Black’s unnecessarily maligned 2018 entry The Predator, Trachtenberg’s Hulu blockbuster Prey, and guilty pleasure crossovers Alien vs. Predator and Alien vs. Predator: Requiem.
Predators: Badlands is slated for theatrical release Nov.7, 2025 from 20th Century Studios.
“Yellowstone” stunner Kelsey Asbille stars in the Sam Raimi produced cat-and-mouse thriller Don’t Move, now streaming on Netflix. Asbille plays a suicidal milf who finds the will to live at the very moment a serial killer sets his sights on her.
Asbille cut her teeth in 2005 with a recurring role on The CW’s coming-of-age drama “One Tree Hill” and currently costars on the hit Paramount western drama “Yellowstone.” Horror fans may remember her best for her role on MTV’s teen werewolf series “Teen Wolf.”
Millie Bobby Brown (“Stranger Things”) hits the road with a robot in search of her missing brother across a dangerous dystopian landscape littered with the ruins of a massive battle in the Netflix Original Electric State, an adaptation of the graphic novel by directors Anthony and Joe Russo (Avengers: End Game).
Brown, of course, rose to popularity on the Netflix series “Stranger Things” and has starred in Godzilla: King of Monsters, Godzilla vs. Kong, and the Netflix Originals Enola Holmes 1 & 2, about Sherlock Holmes hot sister, and the fantasy thriller Damsel, about a hot chick and a dragon.
Electric State is slated for release on Netflix March 2025.

Christopher Abbot (It Comes At Night) plays Garner’s husband. Matilda Firth (Subservience) is their daughter. Set to release in theaters Jan. 17, Wolf Man is produced by Blumhouse and distributed by Universal Pictures.
Prepare to be scared stiff when James Wan’s The Conjuring: Last Rites, the fourth and final chapter in the blockbuster franchise, releases next year. Busty Brit Mia Tomlinson has joined the cast in an undisclosed role. While nothing is known about the character she’ll play, it’s a safe bet she’ll be hot.
Tomlinson is best known for playing famed female pirate Anne Bonny on the Netflix historical drama series “The Lost Pirate Kingdom” and Lena Rattery on the BritBox series/revenge thriller “The Beast Must Die.”
The Conjuring: Last Rites is helmed by Michael Chaves (The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It) and sees the return of Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as married demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. The film is slated for release Sept. 29.
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (10 Cloverfield Lane) is set to star opposite Maika Monroe (Longlegs) in the 20th Century Studios’ remake of the hit 1992 nightmare nanny thriller, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle. Winstead will play a happily married wife and mom whose family is targeted by a deranged au pair who wants her newborn.
The role was originally played by Annabella Sciorra (Romeo Is Bleeding) in the 1992 classic. Hollywood sex symbol Rebecca De Mornay (Risky Business) toplined the film as the homicidal nanny.
At the helm of the remake are director Michelle Garza Cervera (Huesera) and screenwriter Micah Bloomberg (“Homecoming”). Monroe, hot on the heels of sleeper hit Longlegs, stars in the role made famous by De Mornay.
Winstead, who is coming off the Disney+ Star Wars series “Ahsoka,” playing a delightfully bootylicious version of Twi’lek General Hera Syndulla, made her horror film debut in 2005’s The Ring 2. Notable projects include Final Destination 3, Quentin Tarantino’s Death Proof, the underrated remakes Black Christmas (2006) and The Thing, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Birds of Prey.
What if things didn’t end up happily ever after for Snow White and the seven dwarfs? What if those fun-sized misfits turned out to be sadistic little trolls eager to mine the princess’ purest of treasures?
Slated for release March 2025, The Seven Dwarves re-imagines the beloved fairy tale as a survival thriller, pitting the storybook princess up against the evil, mini-miners Cranky, Jolly, Drowsy, Meek, Snuffy, Wheezy, Chief, and Ditzy.
The fairest of them all is played by Lia Ryan, who projects a thirty-something, mother-of-two persona who would probably get along just fine with her stepmom. That said, here she is showing off some thigh…
Brittany Snow (X) is set to join Claire Danes (“Homeland”) in the Netflix limited series, “The Beast In Me.” Snow will play the missing wife of a powerful real estate mogul believed to have had something to do with her disappearance.
The cat-and-mouse thriller kicks into gear when the husband/mogul (Matthew Rhys) buys a house next door to a nosy writer (Dane) who becomes obsessed with him and his alleged crime.
Snow, whose notable horror creds include serial killer drama The Hangman opposite Al Pacino and Karl Urban, indie slasher Would You Rather, and 2008’s Prom Night remake, is coming off the Ti West acclaimed porn slasher X. She is, however, best known for her role in musical comedy franchise, Pitch Perfect.
Focus Features has released a full-length trailer for Robert Eggers’ Nosferatu, a remake of the 1922 vampire classic, starring Lily-Rose Depp as an 1800’s sexy young wife cucking her hubby (Nicholas Hoult) with the legendary vamp Nosferatu (Bill Skarsgård).
Depp, daughter of domestically abused Hollywood Vampires guitarist and Ninth Gate star Johnny Depp, made her acting debut in Keven Smith’s body-horrorTusk and its horror-comedy spinoff Yoga Hosers. She is coming off the HBO series “The Idol,” in which she played an oft nude pop star.
Finally…Hollywood gets it right. Megan Fox has been cast as the type of AI house servant men would buy in director S.K. Dale’s Subservience. Even married men with clingy kids and a dying wife would risk it all to purchase this model at the Best Buy.
Fox plays Alice, a sentient fembot with a body to die for (or let your loved one die for) whose feelings for her owner threaten to destroy his family life when she seduces him.
Subservience is now available on streaming platforms.
Fox, who earned a spot on Clatto’s esteemed list of The 20 Hottest Women Working In Horror back in 2010, starred in Dale’s previous survival thriller Till Death and is beloved by genre fans for roles in Michael Bay’s Transformers, the criminally underrated Jennifer’s Body, and the rightfully panned, but oh-my-God-she’s never looked-hotter, Jonah Hex.
