CBS Films and Lionsgate have released the first full-length trailer for producer Guillermo del Toro’s eagerly anticipated adaptation of Alvin Schwartz’s terrifying 80’s children’s book series “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.”
Helmed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), the film is set in 1968 and follows a group of American teenagers tormented by the tales of a deeply traumatized girl in a book they find while breaking into the mansion she once lived.
You’re about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead…your next stop , “The Twilight Zone” reboot!
Produced, hosted, and narrated by conquering new horror maestro Jordan Peele, the eagerly anticipated series premieres April 1 on CBS All Access with two episodes and stars many of “oh, that’s the dude/girl from that show” actors.
With Peele coming off US and Get Out, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay, “The Twilight Zone” reboot looks pretty damn promising—though Peele stepping into Rod Serling’s hosting shoes feels a tad over indulgent. He probably should have had Keegan-Michael Key do it.
Yalitza Aparicio’s acting debut in the Netflix original film Roma was tirelessly ballyhooed on the award circuit this year, culminating with a Best Actress nomination for the Oscars. In the midst of all the commotion, a far more impressive and memorable performance in another Netflix original film went largely unnoticed.
We’re talking about German actress Ruby O. Fee’s U.S. feature film debut in Polar, an adaptation of the Dark Horse graphic novel about a retired hitman marked for death by the very crime boss he once served. Fee plays a sexy, oft-nude assassin, who utilizes her big juicy boobs and phat ass to drop his guard and make an attempt on his life.
Like Aparicio in Roma, Fee’s performance was intimate and emotionally powerful, but thoughtfully layered with jiggling, wiggling, bouncing, strutting, cooing, fucking, and flashing. Every breast and ass cheek bared exposed the damaged and weeping soul that is her character Sindy the assassin. Shame on the Oscars for overlooking Fee. Thankfully, we can enjoy her performance on Netflix everyday…sometimes twice a day.
Netflix has released the first full length trailer for season three of its original series “Stranger Things.” Premiering July 4, the new season is set in the summer of 1985 and finds the kids coming of age while enjoying the pool, the mall, the town fair, and, of course, each other’s company.
The trailer gets all the feels going—and devil horns salute for the use of Motley Crue’s “Home Sweet Home”—but shit soon hits the proverbial fan and a new, scarier Resident Evil type beast emerges!
Arielle Kebbel (Uninvited) is set to star in NBC’s upcoming adaptation of author Jeffery Deaver’s bestselling crime series “The Bone Collector.” Kebbel will play Amelia Sachs, a hot NYPD beat cop who teams up with ex-forensics criminologist and suicidal quadriplegic Lincoln Rhyme to catch a sadistic serial killer.
Kebbel joins a cast that includes Russell Hornsby (“Grimm”) as detective Rhyme and Michael Imperiolo (“The Sopranos”) as his partner Det. Rick Sellitto. The pilot episode is titled “Lincoln” and is helmed by Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses).
Fright fans will recognize Kebbel from a string of horror efforts, including The Grudge 2, The Uninvited, and “The Vampire Diaries.”
Ana de Armas, the oft nude Cuban actress whose wowed American pervs with her stroke-worthy performances in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner 2049 and Eli Roth’s Knock Knock, is set to star alongside Demian Bichir (The Nun) in an English language remake of the Korean thriller Joint Security Area.
Originally helmed in 2000 by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy), the remake centers on a love affair between a U.S. Marine and a smoking hot female infantry lawyer investigating a shootout between Marines and Mexican special forces. David Franzoni (Gladiator, Amistad) writes and makes his directorial debut with the project.
Sony Pictures has released a new creepy trailer for Brightburn, an origins tale about a Superman-like kid who isn’t super nice around people. Beloved Hollywood degenerate James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) produces with director David Yarovesky (The Hive) at the helm.
Stunner Elizabeth Banks (Hunger Games) and David Denman (”The Office”) topline the film as a rural couple who find an abandoned alien baby (Jackson A. Dunn) who uses his super powers for evil. It arrives in theaters May 24.
Lionsgate has released a red-band trailer for its upcoming Hellboy reboot, arriving in theaters April 12. Neil Marshall (The Descent) is at helm with David Harbour (”Stranger Things”) taking on the Hellboy role made famous by Ron Pearlman in Guillermo del Toro’s original series.
Ageless stunner Milla Jovovich (Resident Evil) co-stars as Hellboy’s new nemesis, Blood Queen Nimue. Joining them on the highway to hell are Ian McShane (John Wick), Daniel Dae Kim (”LOST”), Thomas Hayden Church (”Wings”), Penelope Mitchell (”Vampire Diaries”).
HBO has released a full length trailer for the eighth and final season of its beloved fantasy series “Game of Thrones.” Set to run for only six extended episodes, the show premieres April 14 and is described by producers as “an incredibly emotional haunting bittersweet final season.”
While it’s gonna be tough to remember everything that happened when we left off about a year ago, the new trailer quickly brings back some of last season’s most “oh, shit” moments to mind and totally pumps us up for the epic battles and impending heartbreak ahead.
Annabelle Wallis, stunning co-star in New Line Cinema’s Anabelle and Universal’s The Mummy, is set to star in The Silencing, a serial killer drama helmed by 2016 Oscar nominated Belgian director Robin Pront (The Ardennes) and co-starring Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (“Game of Thrones”).
The Silencing follows a reformed hunter who joins a small town sheriff on a hunt for a deadly killer. No official word on Wallis’ role in the film, but producers have crowed the part is unusual for actresses so we’re guessing she plays the sheriff…the super hot sheriff.
Buzz around Wallis began with her roles as a hot coed in X-Men: First Class and as Jane Seymour in Showtime’s “The Tudors,” but it was the lead in 2014’s Annabelle an 2017’s The Mummy that caught horror fans’ attention.
