Universal Pictures have officially released the teaser-trailer for their upcoming alien-invasion frightener Skyline, arriving in theaters on Nov. 12.
Directed by Colin and Greg Strause (Aliens Vs. Predator: Requium), the film centers on a group of friends who after a night of drunken debauchery wake up to find bright blue lights shining down from the sky and sucking up all who look into them.
Check it out:
Skyline is set in Los Angeles and was shot with a crew of 20 people utilizing Red One cameras, which provide the quality of 35mm film with the convenience of digital technology. Despite being produced as an indie, the film boasts top-notch F/X created by the Strause brothers’ very own effects shop Hydraulx (Avatar, 2012).
Skyline stars Brittany Daniel (The Hamiltons), Scottie Thompson (Star Trek), Crystal Reed (“Teen Wolf”), Kate Mara (Iron Man 2), David Zayas (“Dexter”), Eric Balfour (Texas Chainsaw Massacre), and Donald Faison (”Scrubs”).
“The Vampire Diaries” took a big bite out of the 11th Annual Teen Choice Hormone Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheater on Sunday in Los Angeles. The show, which returns for its second season on Sept. 9, was awarded seven surfboards (apparently teens surf? I thought their activities were limited to texting, popping zits, and texting?) at the star-studded shindig.
Along with wins for Choice Breakout Show and Choice Fantasy/Sci-fi, “The Vampire Diaries” scored nods for all three of its leads: Ian Somerhalder (Choice Villian), Nina Dobrev (Choice Breakout Star, Choice Sci-fi Actress), and the guy who isn’t Ian Somerhalder (Choice Breakout Star, Choice Sci-fi Actor).
As usual, the actors were on hand to receive their awards and suckle the collective clit of teen America with the utmost respect and humility their expensive beach house mortgages demand (I kid!). Afterward, Somerhalder and Dobrev ditched the guy who isn’t Ian Somerhalder and headed to LAX to catch a flight to their love nest (the two are rumored to be sucking more than necks these days).
Elsewhere, on the movie front, winners included Paranormal Activity (Choice Horror/Thriller), Avatar (Choice Sci-fi), and Twilight (Choice Everything Else). Former teen heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and current penis-throb starlet Zoe Saldana also took home surfboards for their respective performances in Shutter Island and Avatar.
It’s now or never for Elvis Presley’s granddaughter Riley Keough.
The 21-year-old fashion model/aspiring actress is looking to sashay her way into Hollywood with a role in George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth installment in the franchise made famous by Oscar-winner and blow-job enthusiast Mel Gibson.
Heat Vision reports that Keough is in talks to star alongside Teresa Palmer, Zoe Kravitz (Lenny’s daughter) and Adelaide Clemens (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as a member of an endangered group of women known as the “Five Wives.” The film is said to pick up right after the anarchy of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
Keough made her feature film debut in this year’s rock-biopic The Runaways opposite Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. She also landed a lead role in director Bradley Rust Gray’s outrageous teen-lesbo/werewolf mash-up Jack & Diane, costarring Juno Temple and pop singer Kylie Minogue.
Keough is the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and failed musician Danny Keough.
Mad Max: Fury Road stars Charlize Theron (The Road), Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class), and 32-year-old Brit Tom Hardy (Inception) in the iconic role of “Mad” Max Rockatansky. The film goes into production early next year.
