Posted by on | Leave a Comment

Call me crazy, and many have, but DRACULA UNTOLD actually kind of looks interesting. How can I say that? Well the very first trailer has hit, and it wasn’t was I was expecting.

This looks like a big epic film, with battles and all sorts of things going on. Luke Evans who plays the lead Vlad Tepes, actually seems to fit the role, There have been previous films about Vlad Tepes, but nothing quite like this.

Dane DeHaan has a zombie girlfriend in LIFE AFTER BETH trailer

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

Apparently the zombie love story is turning into a thing, it is a place within the zombie sub-genre that has not been overly explored. We had WARM BODIES, a fairly successful film, that was both smart and funny. Now we are getting LIFE AFTER BETH, a very different kind of zombie film, with the relationship between two people being the focus.

This isn’t set during an apocalypse, so that already sets it a part. The advertising material has been quite misleading, that is until the trailer hit and a new image of star Aubrey Plaza showed up. No this isn’t […]

Newly announced PREDATOR film not a reboot?

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

Yesterday news broke out that Fox was rebooting PREDATOR, with Shane Black attached as director and Fred Dekker would flesh out the script. Well apparently that news isn’t entirely correct according to Shane Black himself.

So what is correct? Well Shane Black spoke to Collider, and he cleared a few things up.

As far as Fred and I are concerned anyway, why start over, when you’ve all this rich mythology yet to mine?” He apparently said he isn’t much into reboots but would be behind sequels with good concepts and added “the idea of expanding and exploring […]

Finally! The first pictures from MAD MAX FURY ROAD released!

Posted by on | Leave a Comment

FINALLY! Proper pictures have emerged from the long awaited reboot MAD MAX FURY ROAD! Seriously it feels like years and years since this was announced and then finally filmed, it feels surreal that pictures have been released to be honest.

This film did have problems, they had to move shooting locations after mother nature messed up their plans. Charlize Theron who went bald for this role has grown all her hair back already, so yes it is exciting to have pictures, because now this film feels real! Yay!
