Action star and former MMA fighter Gina Carano is teaming up with “Avengelyne” creator Rob Liefeld to produce a film adaptation of the 1995 comic for Carano to topline as the fallen angel cast to battle demons on earth as punishment for questioning God’s love of humans and because he’s kind of a stinker that way.

According to THR, the project will be in the vein of Sony Screen Gems’ Underworld franchise, starring Kate Beckinsale. Carano and Liefeld are set to look for a writer or a writer-director next week.

Carano made her acting debut in Steven Soderbergh’s star-studded 2011 action-drama Haywire. She co-stars alongside Vin Diesel and Michelle Rodriguez in this year’s Fast & Furious 6 and will next be seen in Turistas director John Stockwell’s island-terror thriller In the Blood.

Anchor Bay and Cinetel Films’ have released a trailer for I Spit On Your Grave 2, a sequel to Steven R. Monroe’s 2010 remake of the controversial 1978 Meir Zarchi rape-revenge thriller. Monroe returns to helm the project, scripted by Chain Letter scribe Thomas Fenton.

Newcomer Jemma Dallender (“Hollyoaks”) toplines the film as an aspiring model lured to a photo shoot in New York only to be raped, tortured and taken to a foreign country where she endures more horrors before being buried alive and left to die.

I Spit On Your Grave 2 will play Los Angeles on Sept. 20 and hit DVD, Blu-ray and VOD on Sept. 24.

Monroe’s I Spit On Your Grave starred newcomer Sarah Butler as Jennifer Hill, a young novelist on a mission to maim, dismember, and murder the men who brutally and repeatedly raped her while on holiday in the woods. The film grossed just under $100,000 in its limited theatrical run, but was a hit on home video.

Anchor Bay Films premiered on Fandango today the first trailer for Nothing Left to Fear, a demonic thriller directed by Anthony Leonardi III for Slasher Films, the start-up genre studio founded by Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash.

Nothing Left to Fear (previously titled Nothing to Fear) is the story of a pastor who moves his family to Stull, Kansas, one of the seven known gateways to hell.  The film is based on actual town folklore that claims the devil rises once every year from the local graveyard to walk the earth and demand sacrifice.

The film stars Anne Heche (The Occult), James Tupper (“Revenge”), Willa Holland (Straw Dogs), Jennifer Stone (”Wizards of Waverly Place”), Rebekah Brandes (Bellflower), Ethan Peck (Mine Games) and Clancy Brown (“LOST”).

Nothing Left to Fear will play selected theaters on Oct. 4 and be released on home video and VOD on Oct. 8.

Jack Reacher babe Alexia Fast stars in Grace, a supernatural thriller about an 18-year-old girl tormented by evil forces. The Automatik, Oddfellows Entertainment and Colony Pictures’ film has been picked up by Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions.

Currently shooting in Vancouver, the film marks Jeff Chan’s feature film debut and co-stars Alan Dale (“LOST”), Lin Shaye (Insidious), Alexis Knapp (“Project X”), Joel David Moore (Hatchet III) and Clarke Peters (“Treme”).

Fast made her horror debut in 2006 with the zombie horror-comedy Fido. She has since starred in the sci-fi thriller Repeaters and done guest spots on the TV shows “Masters of Horrors” and “The Secret Circle.” She is best known for playing small town seductress Sandy in the Tom Cruise actioner Jack Reacher.

The 2013 Emmy nominations were announced this morning and surprisingly did not completely suck donkey dicks for horror. While “The Walking Dead” was inexplicably snubbed, Ryan Murphy’s FX series “American Horror Story: Asylum” and HBO’s “Game of Thrones” got some proper recognition.

AMC’s “Bates Motel” also scored a very much deserved nom for Vera Farmiga in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her role as Norma Bates, mom to serial killer in-the-making Norman Bates, played by Freddie Highmore, who also should have been up for an award.

Why do I get the nasty feeling that “Downtown Abby” is going to win all?
