As most married men know, it’s not uncommon to see one’s hot wife eventually morph into the kind of chick you’d see during a pan-shot of the Dr. Oz audience. But, what if one’s hot wife actually turned into an even hotter wife?
IFC Midnight has released the first official trailer for French director Marina de Van’s new psychological thriller Don’t Look Back. The film stars Sophie Marceau (Braveheart) as a happily married mother of two who believes she’s changing into an Italian sexpot, played by Monica Bellucci (Matrix Reloaded).
Take a look:
The film’s official synopsis reads:
Jeanne a writer, married, with two children starts to see unsettling changes in her home. Her body is beginning to change. No one around her seems to notice.
Her family dismisses these fears as the result of the stress of having to finish her next book, but Jeanne realizes that something far deeper, far more disturbing is taking place.
A photograph at her mother’s house sends her in search of a woman in Italy. Here, transformed into another woman, RosaMaria, she will discover the strange secret of her true identity.
Don’t Look Back will be available On Demand on June 23.
Bellucci can also be seen this summer in Disney’s fantasy-adventure The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Marceau hasn’t starred in an American film since the 2003 rom-com Alex & Emma.
The Syfy network, known for such outrageous fare as Dinocroc vs. Supergator and Mongolian Death Worm, has got a message for its detractors: Put up or shut up.
The network is teaming up with entertainment website IGN to launch B Movie Mogul, an interactive movie-making site designed to give users the opportunity to create a Syfy original Saturday night creature feature (to be aired next year).
Executive vp of programming Thomas Vitale explains:
We constantly have fans e-mailing with compliments, complaints and questions about our movies, and this is a way of involving the fans in a new way. This is where entertainment is going and just the start of many more things of this nature for Syfy.
Visitors to the site can pitch and vote on various aspects of the film making process, including its title, dialogue, creature design, wardrobe, death scenes, and marketing.
B Movie Mogul launches on Friday, June 25. First order of business will be to decide on one of the following themes: Apocalypse, aliens, or monsters.
Shooting has wrapped on director Marcus Nispel’s eagerly anticipated Conan the Barbarian remake, starring former “Stargate Atlantis” and “Baywatch” actor Jason Momoa.
Lionsgate has released the first official photo of Momoa as Conan (pictured above) to promote the film and remind your girlfriend what a man without a beer belly and skidmarks in his shorts looks like.
A second trailer for Screen Gems upcoming 3-D zombie-actioner Resident Evil: Afterlife hit the web last week. I didn’t think the quality was good enough for you guys, so I opted not to post it. But, now, a high-def trailer showcasing headliners Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter has been made available and I’m not sure you’re worthy of seeing it.
Just joshing:
Resident Evil: Afterlife was shot in3-D by original Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson. The franchise, based on the bestselling Capcom video game, has grossed over $378 million worldwide.

Imogen Poots is how I describe the sounds my body makes after consuming too many Taco Bell burritos. It is also the name of the 21-year old British actress recently hired as the female lead in DreamWorks’ upcoming remake of the 1985 horror-comedy Fright Night.
Originally directed by Tom Holland (Child’s Play), Fright Night’s plot centers around Charley Brewster, a small town horror fan, who is convinced that his new neighbors are vampires.
The remake, directed by Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) and penned by Marti Noxon (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), is set in Las Vegas and stars Anton Yelchin (Terminator: Salvation) as Brewster and Colin Farrell (Ondine) as the vampire Jerry Dandridge.
Poots (28 Weeks Later) will play Brewster’s girlfriend Amy. She joins a cast that includes Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Kick Ass) as Charlie’s BFF “Evil” Ed Thompson, David Tennant (“Dr. Who”) as vampire-killer/Vegas magician Peter Vincent, and Toni Collete (The Sixth Sense) as Charley’s mom.
Fright Night goes into production this summer in New Mexico. It will arrive in theaters on Oct. 7, 2011.
Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos reminds us how difficult it is for fathers to keep their families safe from outside evils in his new coming-of-rage story Dogtooth.
Below you’ll find both the domestic trailer and the NSFW teaser.
Happy Father’s Day:
Confused?
Read the official synopsis:
A hyper-stylized mixture of physical violence and verbal comedy, DOGTOOTH is a darkly funny look at three teenagers confined to their parents’ isolated country estate and kept under strict rule and regimen – an inscrutable scenario that suggests a warped experiment in social conditioning and control.
Terrorized into submission by their father, the children spend their days devising their own games and learning an invented vocabulary (a salt shaker is a ‘telephone,’ an armchair is ‘the sea’) – until a trusted outsider, brought in to satisfy the son’s libidinal urges, plants the seeds of rebellion by trading VHS tapes for sexual favors.
Now, check out the boobies:
Dogtooth opens in New York City on June 25. No word yet on whether it will be released nationwide.
ABC is set to debut their new vampire-soap “The Gates” tomorrow evening (10/9c.) as part of their new summer season lineup. However, if you’re chomping at the bit for a taste, the studio has made available a preview clip of the pilot episode’s first 17-minutes.
The clip introduces us to milfy vampire Claire Radcliff (Rhona Mitra) as she showers and rubs lotion all over her tan and shapely legs … oh, and attempts to cover up an impulse kill from her husband Dylan (Luke Mably) and new Gates police chief Nick Monahan (Frank Grillo).
Take a look:
At a glance, ‘The Gates” appears to be a mix of vampire cliche and “Desperate Housewives” gloss—think of it as a bottle of Tru Blood Light. It’s doubtful that the show will fare any better than ABC’s previous horror offering “Happy Town” (It’s cancellation was announced two episodes in).
That said, I’d watch Rhona Mitra pick her nose … provided she did it slowly and in the shower.
“The Gates” costars Marisol Nichols, Travis Caldwell, Skyler Samuels, Colton Haynes, Chandra West, Victoria Platt, Justin Miles, and Janina Gavankar.
Warner Bros. held the premiere of its supernatural-western Jonah Hex last night at the Arclight Cinema’s Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, California.
Among those in attendance were Josh Brolin and his wife and actress Diane Lane, Megan Fox and her breasts, director Jimmy Hayward, Wes Bentley, Twilight’s Julia Jones, Lance Reddick, Helen Mirren, Kay Panabaker, hard rock outfit Mastodon, James Brolin (Josh’s dad) and his wife Mecha Barbara Streisand.
Now, while I have always praised the Arclight for it’s dedication to keeping families and minorities out of its theaters by charging steep prices for tickets and keeping an army of black security guards at the ready, I gotta say I was disappointed when they asked me to leave the screening and return to the movie I had paid to see … at the two-dollar theater down the street.
But, hey, I will always put myself out there in an effort to provide you with entertainment. Now, enjoy the gallery, you jackals (courtesy of Zimbio):
Singer/actress Miley Cyrus continues to look for new ways to distance herself from the wholesome Hanna Montana image Disney created for her. In recent months, the 17-year-old media sensation has relied on her vagina and impressive onstage stripper moves to scare families away. Now, she’s setting her sights on PG-13 horror to boost her into Kristen Stewart-like territory.
Cyrus is reportedly in negotiations to play the lead in Paramount Pictures and MTV Films’ big screen adaptation of author Lisa McMann’s supernatural young-adult novel Wake. In addition to Wake, the studios have purchased the film rights to its two sequels Fade and Gone in the hopes of launching a new teen-oriented franchise.
Motor-Boating in the U.S.A
Wake centers on a teenage girl named Janie Hannagan who has the ability to enter people’s dreams and influence their actions, guiding them to understanding and peace. It’s a power Hannagan regrets and performs begrudgingly. But, things only get worse when she eventually gets trapped in some degenerate asshole’s nightmare.
Disturbia scribe Christopher Landon is adapting the book for the big screen.
In the meantime, check out Cyrus in her new music video for “I Can’t Be Tamed,” in which she plays some kind of sexy underage bird.
Fast-talking “Gilmore Girl” Lauren Graham confirmed rumors that she will be joining the cast of Wes Craven’s eagerly-anticipated sequel Scream 4 during an appearance earlier this week on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Graham will play the part of Kate Kessler, mother to Sidney Prescott’s (Neve Campbell) cousin Jill Kessler (Emma Roberts). Though she joked about being film’s killer, the tall (she’s 5’9″) 43-year-old stunner didn’t reveal much else … other than some seriously hot legs.
Take a look (at the 1:50 mark):
Scream 4 is the start of a new trilogy that aims to frighten audiences while poking fun at modern day horror cliches much like the original did in 1996. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson (“The Vampire Diaries”) told the NY Post last year that he planned to reference J-Horror, PG-13 thrillers, vampire flicks, manga comics, and, most promising, torture-porn.
