Dimension Films has released a second trailer for its eagerly anticipated by no one sequel Scary Movie 5. Directed by Malcolm Lee (Undercover Brother) and co-written by producer David Zucker (Airplane), the horror-comedy opens in theaters on April 12.
This time out the spoof takes on Guillermo del Toro’s Mama, Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity, Blumhouses’ Sinister and Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead. The movie’s gags look lame, but the one-minute mark on the trailer does tickle us.
Lynn Collins (John Carter) and Josh Lucas (American Psycho) are set to topline A&E’s “Occult,” a Michael Bay-produced pilot penned by James Wong, writer for Ryan Murphy’s “American Horror Story” and the Chris Carter classics “Millennium” and “The X-Files.”
“Occult” tells the story of two emotionally disturbed FBI agents paired up to head the newly formed Occult Crime Task Force. Dolan is returning to the bureau six months after suffering a meltdown while investigating the disappearance of his wife. His partner Blair is a stubborn and impulsive agent obsessed with the occult.
Collins is coming off the sci-fi actioner John Carter, in which she played Carter’s love interest Princess Dejah Thoris, her first starring role. Additional creds include HBO’s “True Blood,” William Friedkin’s creepy mind-bender Bug, Joel Schumacher’s The Number 23 and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
