The film’s synopsis reads:

In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend.

A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.

Screen Gems will premiere a red band trailer for the film at this weekend’s Wondercon convention in San Francisco, CA. MySpace will debut the trailer online this Saturday at 2:15 p.m. Of course, if I’m awake at that hour, I’ll post the trailer here for y’all as well.

twins

Twin sisters Elise and Electra Avellan are set to make a splash in Parallel Media’s upcoming frightner The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond. The film is the first for the Avellan sisters since making their feature film debut in the 2007 Quentin Tarantino/ Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse (they played the “Crazy Twin Babysitters”).

(Avellan Update: The sisters can also be seen in new red-band ‘Machete’ trailer. Do they go nude? Take a look)

The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond follows a group of nine friends that violently turn against each other after playing a mysterious and ancient game during their holiday on a deserted  island.

The film is directed by Gabriel Bologna and costars Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgement Day), James Duval (Donnie Darko), Mircea Monroe (Tekken), and 32-year-old stunner Danielle Harris (Halloween 2). It opens in theaters on April 9.

There's nothing more beautiful than the bond between twin sisters.

Coincidentally, The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond is exactly what I call the toilet at my local Applebees.

piranha5

Fuck James Cameron. Horror director Alexandre Aja truly knows what 3-D should be used for: boobs and blood. The man behind Dimension Films’ eagerly anticipated creature-feature Piranha 3-D wants moviegoers to know that his film is a technically updated throwback to to the sensationalistic 3-D films many of us grew up with.

He tells MTV:

The biggest thing for the fans is going to be the big spring-break wet T-shirt contest, where we have thousands of spring-break groups on the water and the party has its climax when the piranhas come and start attacking everyone. It’s almost 25 minutes of a huge massacre, and it’s really insane.

I think we broke all the records in the manner of blood used. I don’t remember the exact number, but we passed ‘Kill Bill.

I understand why James Cameron in Avatar didn’t want to make the 3-D gimmicky, and he was right. But we are making a piranha-attacking-spring-break movie, so we are going to go for the huge on-the-screen effects and fish attacking the audience.

If this 3-D craze is going to be worth the recently announced theater price hike, Hollywood needs to support visionaries like Aja, Drive Angry’s Patrick Lussier, and Heidi Montag.

Piranha 3-D stars Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Jerry O’Connell, Eli Roth, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Dreyfuss, Dina Meyer, porn star Riley Steele, and the gorgeous Kelly Brook. The film arrives in theaters on August 27.

To ensure that 13-year-old fan boys and 40-year-old virgins don’t hurt themselves while feverishly admiring Iron Man 2 sex-pot Scarlett Johansson in the film’s new poster, Marvel Entertainment have decided to only show half of the gorgeous blonde’s redhead’s body.

The poster showcases Johansson as the Black Widow and was printed exclusively for this weekend’s Wondercon convention in San Francisco, Ca (pick yours up at booth #242).

Iron Man 2 is directed by Jon Favreau and costars Robert Downy Jr.Mickey Rourke, Samuel Jackson, Don Cheadle, and—the now completely overshadowed—Gwyneth Paltrow. The film flies into theaters on May 7.

This is model/actress Kelly Brook leaning against apartment walls in her underwear. But, unlike your slutty knocked-up sister, she is getting paid by some fancy-pants lingerie manufacturer named Ultimo to do so.

You can also see the 30-year-old stunner later this year in Lionsgate long-delayed creature-feature Piranha 3-D. Brook’s additional horror creds include Survival Island, Removal, House of 9, and Ripper.

meyer-novella

“Twilight” author Stephenie Meyers announced today on her website that she is not ready to stop earning ridiculous mountains of cash from her vampire empire. On June 5, Meyer’s publishing house Little Brown Books for Young Readers will release “The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella.”

The 192-page novella centers on the life of newborn vampire Bree Tanner, a character who only appears briefly in the “Eclipse” novel as part of Bella Swan hater Victoria’s army. Meyer’s insists that she thought of the Bree spinoff long before “Twilight” was adapted to the big screen.

She lies through her teeth says:

I never intended to publish this story as a stand-alone book. I began this story a long time ago—before ‘Twilight’ was even released. Back then I was just editing ‘Eclipse,’ and in the thick of my vampire world. I was thinking a lot about the newborns, imagining their side of the story, and one thing led to another. I started writing from Bree’s perspective about those final days, and what it was like to be a newborn.

Hmm. Looks like those crafty Twilight Saga movie producers have found a new way to keep the tween-loved vampire-soap going. Along with splitting Breaking Dawn into two movies, it’s pretty clear we’ll be seeing a Bree Tanner flick in the near future.

I’m gonna say it right now: “novella” will be the new “prequel” in Hollywood. What better way to keep a franchise going?

Studios won’t have to wait as long for an author to turn something in. New characters are pushed to the forefront, allowing for fresh faces to emerge and providing producers an opportunity to save money by not having to bring back all of the original franchise’s cast members. It’s genius.

“The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner: An Eclipse Novella” will be available for purchase on June 5 at 12:01 a.m.

A dollar from all U.S. sales will be donated to the American Red Cross International Response Fund to provide aid to Haiti and Chile. But, if you hate brown people, you can read it for free on BreeTanner.com from June 7-to-July 5.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse arrives in movie theaters on June 30.

Cameron Diaz Forced to Do Labor After Box Office Bombs?

diaz7

After her horror film The Box was crushed at the box office, actress Cameron Diaz has been forced to consider a supplemental career in the sexy car wash industry. OK … that’s not true. This was just a half-assed excuse to post pics of the leggy starlet in daisy duke shorts. The shots are from her upcoming comedy Bad Teacher.

The Box is now available on DVD and Blu-ray disc. Diaz plays a married woman who is given a mysterious box which holds the ability to provide good fortune for her family at the cost of a stranger’s life.

Diaz’s other horror titles include The Other Sister and My Best Friends Wedding.

Heidi Montag Wants to Save the World with Her 3-D Boobs!

SPL165081_001

Bloggers and people with vaginas never have anything nice to say about “Hills” star Heidi Montag. But, here at Clatto, we are extremely supportive of women who set out to improve themselves through plastic surgery and starvation.

That is why I am thrilled to write about Montag’s plans to produce what could be the greatest horror-comedy of all time, a lifeguard vs. shark 3-D spectacular based on her very own script.

Montag describes the project to People magazine:

I am making the first 3-D beach comedy about a shark that attacks a small beach town and I save the day with my 3-D boobs. I’ve even written a role for Dolly Parton to play the town mayor!

Finally, someone who knows how to utilize 3-D technology to produce the kind of stuff we want to see!

Godzilla Returns in 2012!

godzilla

Oh, no! There goes Tokyo.

Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. announced today that they have acquired the rights to produce a new Godzilla movie from Toho Co (they will handle distribution in Japan). The film is slated for release in 2012 and will most likely arrive in 3-D.

Legendary’s chairman and CEO Thomas Tull tells the Hollywood Reporter:

Godzilla is one of the world’s most powerful pop culture icons, and we at Legendary are thrilled to be able to create a modern epic based on this long-loved Toho franchise.

Our plans are to produce the Godzilla that we, as fans, would want to see. We intend to do justice to those essential elements that have allowed this character to remain as pop culturally relevant for as long as it has.

Says Warner Bros. president Jeff Robinov adds:

Godzilla is emblematic of the kind of branded, event films for which Warner Bros. and our partners at Legendary are best known.

Legendary & Warner Bros. have co-produced Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and this week’s epic fantasy-adventure Clash of the Titans.

Godzilla made his debut in the 1954 Japanese film Gojira. Master of disaster Roland Emmerich (2012, Independence Day) took a massive shit all over the iconic beast in his 1998 reboot Godzilla. The film still managed to earned over $376 million worldwide, a testament to Godzilla’s ongoing popularity.

Update: Gareth Edwards (Monsters) is attached to direct the reboot.

Jason, Freddy, Chucky, & Ghostface Shill for Burger King in Killer Ads!

bk1

If there is such a thing as heaven on earth, it must be Dubai. Innovative architecture, jet-setting lifestyle, beautiful and obedient women, and zero tolerance towards the poor and working class make it a Disneyland for adults. What could possibly make the city better?

A big fat Whopper with cheese served at 4 a.m. is a good start.

Dubai-based ad agency Tonic was commissioned by Burger King to cook up some wicked advertising to promote the chain’s newly launched late hours. The company has delivered a series of jaw-dropping ads for print and billboards featuring some of horror’s most popular night prowlers.

The drive-thru is always a nightmare.

The drive-thru is always a nightmare.

French photographer Ben Dauchez shot the ads in Dubai and South Africa. The campaign features Jason (Friday the 13th), Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Chucky (Child’s Play) and Ghostface (Scream).

Everyone likes a little late night chuck!

Everyone likes a little late night chuck!

I’m hoping a fifth ad featuring Leatherface (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) working the grills will soon pop up. If they do TV ads, Jigsaw (Saw) would do great as the drive-thru attendant.

Hello, Sidney. Do you like fries with your order?
