Ashley Greene is set to star in The Accident Man, a big screen adaptation of 90s U.K. comic “Toxic” from director Jesse Johnson (The Package) – yeah, we don’t know who that is either, but he cast Greene so we already like his style!
The Accident Man follows an assassin who makes his hits look like unfortunate mishaps. When his ex-girlfriend is murdered, he loses control and goes on a homicidal quest to avenge her with the help of her girlfriend, played by Greene.
Greene is coming off fright legend Joe Dante’s horror-comedy Burying the Ex, the Weinstein Company’s Kristy, and the supernatural thriller The Apparition. Greene is best known for her role as Edward’s adopted little sister, Alice Cullen, in Summit Entertainment’s Twilight Saga.
Busty model-turned-actress Sara Malakul Lane (Shark Lake) stars in The Domicile, a supernatural thriller about a grieving widower tormented by the scorned spirit of his deceased wife when she discovers his cheating ways from beyond the grave.
Lane plays Lucy, the husband’s stunning mistress who becomes possessed by the vengeful spirit. Horror fans may recognize Lane from her roles in creature-features Jurassic City, Cowboys vs. Dinosaurs, Sharktopus, and Shark Lake.
Paramount Pictures has released a first trailer for Ghost in the Shell, a big screen adaptation of the Japanese manga of the same name. Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) is at the helm with Scarlett Johansson playing The Major, a special ops cyborg tasked with ending dangerous criminals.
Producers have revealed there will be no nudity from Johansson, despite her character’s willingness to kick ass while in the buff. Johansson will instead wear a thermoptic suit that is said to keep the Major’s sexy intact. The getup is very ugly, but gotta admit Johansson makes it work!
Europa has released a trailer for Fifth Element director and screenwriter Luc Besson’s new sci-fi epic Valerianand the City of a Thousand Planets, starring Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) and British stunner Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad).
The trailer reveals a pretty fun looking ride complete with colorful landscapes and an odd and whimsical array of aliens, robots, and monsters. The only thing it appears to lack is a Leeloo-like outfit for model-turned-actress Delevingne. Here’s hoping they’re just keeping that under wraps.
A new trailer has gone online for Underworld: Blood Wars, the fifth installment in Screen Gems popular franchise pitting werewolves against vampires. Anna Foerster (”Outlander”) directs with Kate Beckinsale reprising her role as death dealer Selene.
Underworld: Blood Wars finds Selene protecting the coven of vampires that once exiled her as a criminal from a growing army of lycans under the leadership of a more powerful nemesis. Armed with her Blue Steele stare and shapely bottom, Selene goes to new lengths to defeat her enemy.
Scarlett Johansson stars in director Rupert Sanders’ (Snow White and the Huntsman) big screen adaptation of the Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell. Johansson plays The Major, a sexy special ops cyborg who in the manga has no qualms about killing people while nude.
Unfortunately, Paramount Pictures has squashed all hope of seeing a nude Johansson assassin with the release of a 13-second teaser revealing the fugly thermoptic suit Johansson will be wearing in place of going gloriously nude.
Peep the horrific suit:
Producer and asshole Avi Arad believes audiences will be satisfied to see Johansson in the suit and tells Collider blah, blah, blah.
Avi Arad said:
She’s not actually naked. This is a whole suit she’s wearing. The thermoptic. We’re not actually trying to pretend she’s naked. Some of the stuff she wears in the anime and the manga, when you make a movie things become much more literal.
If you’re in a world with someone walking around in a thong, we’re not in a world where that was going to feel natural. So we didn’t do it. But in cases when you’re being born… that’s why they call it the birthday suit.
Don’t know about you, but we don’t want to live in a world where beautiful women walking around in a thong isn’t natural. In fact, we think women in thongs should not only walk, but run, jump, stretch, do cartwheels, jump some more, fight, drive, fly, crawl, stand, sleep, and scoop ice cream.
Arad added:
We weren’t going to have Scarlett or The Major character running around naked in the action scene for a million reasons. It would be strange. It was also cool as there is a vulnerability wearing something like [the thermoptic suit].
No, Arad, it’s not cool. It’s not strange and it’s not cool. It could have been cool… but now it’s not.
Writer and director Shane Black will follow up his God awful and stupidly dull The Nice Guys with a new sequel in the often-lame-but-nowhere-near-as-lame-as-The-Nice-GuysPredator franchise for Twentieth Century Fox. Thankfully, he’s already made one awesome decision: Olivia Munn.
Olivia Munn has been cast to play a super-sexy scientist in The Predator, which Black co-wrote with Monster Squad and Night of the Creeps writer and director Fred Dekker. All other details are being kept under wraps, but here’s hoping Munn outlives them all or at least survives long enough for a shower scene.
Munn is coming off X-Men: Apocalypse as hot bad girl mutant Psylocke and co-starred in the exorcism drama Deliver Us From Evil in 2014. Her best and most frightening work remains Ghost Tits, the story of a man married to a woman with large breasts who awakens one morning to discover that her ample boobs never existed.
Warner Bros. released a second trailer for its eagerly anticipated Wonder Woman movie this week, immediately triggering more boring and bullshit feminist discussion over the character and her mission. Lord forbid she fall in love with a man or rely on help from his filthy penis-wielding kind to open a jar .
Wonder Woman will always be a hot chick in a hot shorts kicking lots of ass in the name of justice. That’s all she needs to be. That’s enough to inspire impressionable young women everywhere to be like her… at hot Halloween costume contests.
Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect) stars alongside Al Pacino (Scarface) and Karl Urban (Dredd) in Hangman, a serial killer drama from director Johnny Martin (Delirium), who said Snow brings “a fresh, instinctual presence to the production.”
Hangman stars Snow as a crime journalist following a decorated homicide detective (Pacino) and a criminal profiler (Urban) on the trail of a serial killer whose M.O. involves inspiration from the childhood game of Hangman. Cameras roll Nov. 17 in Atlanta.
Hangman marks Snow’s return to horror since 2012’s Would You Rather. She’s also starred in 2008’s remake of Prom Night, but is best known for her role in musical comedy franchise Pitch Perfect.
Sony Pictures and Skydance Media have released a trailer for Life, a star-studded sci-fi thriller from director Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) and screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool). Cast includes Jake Gyllenhaal (Nightcrawler), Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Wolverine), and stunner Rebecca Ferguson (The Girl On the Train).
The film follows the crew of an international space station on the brink of discovering life on Mars. Unfortunately for them, that life is intelligent and deadly. The footage has a very cool Alien meets Gravity vibe. Reynolds is funny and Ferguson (pictured above) is always interesting to watch (did that sound creepy). Movie arrives May 26, 2017.
