Sonya Walger (“LOST”) and Jennifer Carpenter (“Dexter”) star opposite John Cusack (The Raven) in the Morgan O’Neill-directed serial killer drama The Factory. The Warner Bros. film started its limited theatrical run today.

The film’s synopsis reads:

Detective Mike Fletcher (Cusack), a rugged and obsessive police officer, and his partner, Kelsey Walker (Carpenter), are on the trial of a serial killer who prowls the streets targeting young streetwalkers.

When his teenage daughter disappears, Fletcher discovers that the killer has kidnapped her after mistaking her for a prostitute. Fletcher’s obsession goes into overdrive when he drops all professional restraint to get the killer and save his daughter.

So his teenage daughter is mistaken for a prostitute? How skanky is that ho dressing? I dunno. If your daughter is dressing up like a hooker every night, maybe it ain’t so bad that she get taken by a serial killer. A funeral is probably cheaper than raising her bastard kid for 18-years.

The Factory costars Mae Whitman (“Arrested Development”), Michael Trevino (“The Vampire Diaries”), Katherine Waterson (The Stare), Cas Anvar (Source Code), Dallas Roberts (The Grey) and stunners Ksenia Solo (Black Swan) and Cindy Sampson (“The Supernatural”).

Jennifer Carpenter

Jennifer Carpenter is best known for her role as Lt. Debra Morgan on the Showtime series “Dexter.” Her previous creds include star turns in 2008’s Quarantine and 2005’s The Exorcism of Emily Rose. She’ll next be seen in the Amanda Seyfried serial killer vehicle Gone.

Sonya Walger played Penelope Widmore, future wife and constant of Desmond Hume, on ABC’s “LOST” and Dr. Olivia Benford on the network’s post “LOST” offering “FlashForward.” The pretty 37-year-old Brit also starred on Fox’s “The Sarah Connor Chronicles.”

The demigods over at Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have unleashed a Wrath of the Titans trailer guaranteed to blow up your skirt. A sequel to the 2010 blockbuster remake Clash of the Titans, the fantasy-actioner finds Perseus battling Titans freed from their underworld prisons.

Wrath of the Titans is directed by Jonathan Liebesman and stars Sam Worthington as Perseus, Liam Neeson as Zeus, Ralph Fiennes as Hades, and Danny Huston as Poseidon. New faces include Edgar Ramirez as Ares, Toby Kebbell as Argenor, and Rosamund Pike as warrior queen Andromeda.

Warner Bros. has released a new 2-minute-plus trailer for Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises, the final chapter in his Batman saga. The new footage provides a first look at Cat Woman (Anne Hathaway) and hints at villain Bane’s (Tom Hardy) disdain for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Dark Knight also stars Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Morgan Freeman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Juno Temple, Josh Pence, Nestor Carbonell and, of course, Christian Bale as the Batman. It arrives in theaters on July 20, 2012.

Peep it:

The Associação da Luta Contra o Cancer (ALCC) in Mozambique, Africa is coming under-fire for using Ad agency DDB’s provocative artist renderings of DC and Marvel superheroes in their breast cancer awareness print campaign.

The ads, which DDB did not license from DC and Marvel (hence the omission of their faces), feature Wonder Woman, Cat Woman, Storm (pictured above), and She-Hulk examining their large perfect animated breasts for abnormalities.

The ads are being called sexist and juvenile, and the ALCC criticized for not using real Mozambican women in their campaign. But, supporters of the ads state that doing so would be like asking people to care about saving the tuna or any other ugly animal (or, so I imagine them stating).
