Posted above is the first image from Relativity Media’s regrettably PG-13 rated creature-feature Shark Night 3-D. The shot features a terrified—and bikini-clad—Sara Paxton (The Last House on the Left) trapped in a shark cage by a hungry man-eater.
Paxton describes the film:
It’s very different from Alexandre Aja’s Piranha 3D. But I don’t think people should go in expecting The Reader with Kate Winslet, either.
The photo is pretty cool, but my “Shark Week” expertise tells me that’s a great white trying to take a bite out of Paxton. Of course, whites don’t do fresh water; only bull sharks do. So, I’m gonna guess this scene is taking place in the ocean.
Shark Night 3-D is directed by David R. Ellis (The Final Destination 3-D) and costars Katharine McPhee (The House Bunny), Chris Carmack (The Butterfly Effect 3), Alyssa Diaz (Red Dawn), Joel David Moore (Avatar), Dustin Milligan (The Messengers) and Sinqua Walls (Savage County).
A trailer for author/screenwriter Julia Leigh’s erotically-charged directorial debut Sleeping Beautyhas hit the web. The film appears to be not so much a re-imaging of the Sleeping Beauty fairy tale as it is an exploration of the sleeping princess syndrome, a sexual fetish in which guys get off on fucking women who are in a state of unconsciousness (man, I miss college).
Australian actress Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) stars in the film as a student-turned-prostitute named Lucy who allows men to do all the nasty stuff they want to her while she’s in a drug induced slumber inside what is called a Sleeping Beauty chamber.
Actress Jennifer Lawrence posed in vintage swimsuits and lingerie for the May issue of GQ magazine to promote her new film X-Men: First Class, an origins story set in the 1960’s and directed by Matthew Vaughn. The 20-year-old stunner plays young Mystique.
Vaughn tells GQ why he hired Lawrence:
There are a lot of young American actors right now who haven’t got any technique. And to be blunt, a lot of these kids assume that just by having a good set of teeth and tits, smiling for the camera’s gonna be enough. I needed someone who could act.
Lawrence, who scored an Oscar nomination for last year’s indie-drama Winter’s Bone, is also set to headline A Bigger Boat’s House at the End of the Street and Lionsgate adaptation of author Suzanne Collins beloved book series Hunger Games.
