Hayden Christensen Faces a Whole New Dark Side in ‘Vanishing on Seventh Street’

vanishing-7th-street-poster

A creepy new trailer for director Brad Anderson’s (Sessions 9The Vanishing on Seventh Street has appeared online. The film stars Hayden Christensen (Jumper), Thandie Newton (2012), John Leguizamo (The Happening), and pretty newcomer Jordan Trovillion as survivors of a mysterious event that appears to have disintegrated most of the earth’s population.

Peep it:

The footage is definitely engaging and the plot seems intriguing (kind of like ABC’s “FlashForward” minus the unionized extras). I also like the shot of Christensen stepping on a pair of eyeglasses as he exits a building to find that he is alone in the city, and imagine that it is a nod to the “Twilight Zone” episode “Time Enough at Last.”

Whadda ya think?

Amber Heard Announces She’s a Lesbian! A Very Hot Lesbian!

amber-heard

Horror movie queen Amber Heard dropped some unexpected news this weekend while walking the red carpet at GLAAD’s 25th anniversary party in Hollywood: She likes girls.

She tells AfterEllen.com:

I think GLAAD is one of the many reasons that I, as a 24-year-old, can come out. I think that organizations like GLAAD make that possible because if it weren’t for opinions being changed, people being influenced, people being engaged to do the right thing, then there would be no prerogative for anyone to come out.

I hate the idea of a label just as much as anyone else but I’m with who I’m with, I love who I love and I’m if not a better actress than I was yesterday and my personal life should have no effect on that. I think that the injustice of people staying in the closet is more than I can bear with a clear conscience and I couldn’t sleep at night if I was a part of that problem, if I was part of the lies.

I personally think that if you deny something or if you hide something you’re inadvertently admitting it’s wrong. I don’t feel like I’m wrong. I don’t feel like millions of people are wrong because they love who they love or they were born how they were born.

If your penis is like mine (large and bulbous), Heard’s revelation has probably caused it to have mixed feelings. But, rather than focus on the defection of Heard’s vagina to tuna town, we should instead imagine Heard making sweet, sweet love to someone like Odette Yustman underneath a waterfall while little birds chirp Linda Perry songs (that’s how lesbians have sex right?).

Oops. There goes that fantasy:

Heard will play it straight  next year in the Nicolas Cage supernatural-actioner Drive Angry 3-D. She can also be seen this month opposite Yustman in Studio Canal’s abduction thriller And Soon the Darkness. Her  additional horror creds include Zombieland, All the Boys Love Mandy Lane, The Stepfather, and John Carpenter’s upcoming all-girl thriller The Ward.

Heard is part of Clatto’s esteemed list of The 20 Hottest Women Working in Horror/Sci-fi Today.

Selma Blair & Rachel Miner Get Homey in ‘The Replicas’

Selma Blair (Hellboy II: The Golden Army) and Rachel Miner (Penny Dreadful) have been cast in music video director Jeremy Regimbal’s feature film debut The Replicas. The home invasion thriller costars James D’Arcy (An American Haunting) and Josh Close (The Exorcism of Emily Rose), who also penned the script.

The Replicas follows a husband and wife as they attempt to survive an unexpected visit from a murderous couple the Sakowskis while visiting a family cottage to grieve the loss of their youngest son.

While it’s easy to see either Blair or Miner in the film’s homicidal hottie role, I’m hoping the part will go to Miner. Her bad girl performance as submissive-assistant-turned-ball-ripping-agent Dani on Showtime’s “Californication” is as infuriating as it is sexy. I’m eager to see just how mean she can play.

The Replicas is currently in production.
