Tonight marks the return of VH1’s horror-inspired reality show “Scream Queens.” Hosted by actress Jaime King (My Bloody Valentine 3-D), acting coach John Homa, and genre director Tim Sullivan (2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams), the show once again pits 10 wannabe starlets against each other in a variety of frightening challenges designed to serve as auditions for a speaking role in Lionsgate’s upcoming Saw 3-D.
Get psyched with the following BTS clip:
“Scream Queens” debuted in October of 2008 and was originally hosted by Homa, director James Gunn (Slither), and Saw’sShawnee Smith. Acting novice Tanedra Howard dominated the season and went on to win a memorably gruesome part in last year’s criminally overlooked Saw 6.
Catch “Scream Queens 2” tonight at 10 p.m. on VH1 (or check your local listings for additional times).
Officially on a break from directing forgettable comedies, “Friends” star David Schwimmer explores the very unfriendly themes of rape and revenge in his upcoming Clive Owen (Children of Men) thriller Trust. The film made its debut at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival and is set to arrive in theaters on April 1.
Take a peek:
What? That’s it? Where’s The Rembrandt’s song and the ::Clap::Clap::Clap::Clap:: part? I don’t know. I think this would work better with some clapping.
Anyway, in case you missed the plot points while looking for Rachel and Chandler in the trailer, here’s the official synospsis:
Safe and sound in their suburban home, Will and Lynn Cameron used to sleep well at night. When their 14-year-old daughter, Annie, made a new friend on-line – a 16-year-old boy named Charlie – Will and Lynn didn’t think much of it. But when Annie and Charlie make a plan to meet what happens in the next twenty-four hours changes the entire family forever.
Charlie is really a 40-year-old serial pedophile and, once Annie’s rape comes to light, it becomes a touchstone event that reverberates through the entire family [::clap::clap::clap::clap::].
The Safran Co. and Gold Circle Films are banking on actors Margarita Levieva (Knights of Badassdom), Brian Geraghty (Open House), and Josh Peck (Red Dawn) to bring to life Buried scribe Chris Sparling’s new Hitchcockian thriller ATM.
Directed by first-timer David Brooks, ATM centers on three coworkers trapped in an ATM shack late at night by a maniacal stranger eager to withdraw blood from their unfortunate asses. Like Buried, the majority of the film’s action occurs in a small confined space, namely the ATM enclosure.
Sparling appears to be making quite a name for himself with these type of single–location thrillers. Personally, I can’t wait until he writes something in which a group of people are terrorized by homeless degenerates and lowrider-bicycle gangs at a Redbox rental kiosk.
ATM will shoot in Winnipeg, Manitoba in late September.
