New Line Cinema released a trailer this week for James Wan’s (Insidious, SAW) new supernatural thriller The Conjuring, starring Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as real-life married demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren, known for working the infamous Amityville Horror case of 1975.

Written by Chad and Carey Hayes (Whiteout, House of Wax), the story—based on true events—follows the horrifying ordeal faced by the Perron family in 1970 after moving into a haunted Rhode Island farmhouse. Ron Livingston (Office Space) and Lili Taylor (The Haunting) portray the Perrons.

Hollywood stuntman Jesse V. Johnson is looking for a gig that doesn’t involve being lit on fire or kicked in the balls (aren’t we all). Looking to helm a major studio project, Johnson—who has directed a string of indie actioners—has shot a proof of concept trailer for his take on DC Comics’ Wonder Woman.

Peep it:

Johnson tells LatinoReview:

It was my manager / producing partner Kailey Marsh’s idea to shoot the trailer.  She really believes I should be a studio director, and thought shooting Wonder Woman would be a great way to show off my skills in a fun way that people could get excited about.

The trailer was produced for some $3,500 and finds Wonder Woman high-kicking the shit out of Nazis. Sporting the iconic golden tiara and star-spangled Underoos is Danish stunner Nina Bergman. The concept poster (posted above) was created by Robert Sebree.

Jena Malone is set to star in Teeth director Mitchell Lichtenstein’s Angelica, a Victorian ghost story adapted from the 2007 Arthur Phillips’ novel of the same name.  Set in 1880 London, the story revolves around a new mom haunted by horny specters looking to go hump in the night.

Malone plays Constance, a young married woman told to remain celibate by her doctor after the difficult childbirth of her daughter Angelica. The doc’s orders don’t sit well with her husband and their marriage is soon strained. Things only worsen when supernatural forces arrive and make themselves at home.

Malone’s notable genre creds include the 2001 cult classic Donnie Darko, Paramount’s 2008 frightener The Ruins and Zach Snyder’s 2011 girl-power, fantasy-actioner Sucker Punch. She will next be seen in opposite Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire.

Phase 4 Films has released the first trailer for director Megan Griffiths’ (The Off Hours) human trafficking drama Eden, starring Jamie Chung (Sucker Punch) as an abducted Korean-American girl  sold into prostitution, who during her two years of captivity gains influence over her captors.

The film is based on a true story and appears to play out as a drama so horror fans probably shouldn’t expect Chung’s character to spit on people’s graves after loading their colons full of buckshot. Still, the movie looks pretty intense and the grey, drab underwear the teen hookers are made to wear makes me sad.

Eden opens wide (ba-da-bing!) on March 20.

Looking for some tail? XLrator Media has set an April 5 limited theatrical release for Aleksander Nordaas’ Thale, starring Silje Reinamo (Dunderland) as a deadly woodland nymph known in Norwegian folklore as the Huldra. The film arrives on DVD on April 23 and can be seen on VOD on March 21.

Thale tells the story of two crime scene clean-up workers sent on assignment to a cabin in the woods to tidy up what is believed to be an grizzly animal attack. What they find is a Huldra, a beautiful cow-tailed woman that is not nearly as fun as one would imagine a chick with a tail to be.

NBC has released a full-length trailer for “Hannibal,” its hour-long crime drama chronicling the early days of Hannibal Lecter, the notorious cannibal/serial killer first introduced in the Thomas Harris novels “Red Dragon” and “Silence of the Lambs.”

“Hannibal” finds renowned psychiatrist Dr. Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) treating Will Graham (Hugh Daancy), an FBI profiler tormented by his ability to empathize with serial murderers.

The series is created by Bryan Fuller, the creative mind behind ABC’s Emmy-winning series “Pushing Daisies” and Showtime’s awesome “Dead Like Me.” David Slade (Twilight Saga: Eclipse, 30 Days of Night) directs the pilot episode, premiering April 4.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment has set an April 9 release date for TV producer Shawn Pillar’s (“Stephen King’s Dead Zone”) feature film debut Sexy Evil Genius, starring Michelle Trachtenberg (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) and Katee Sackhoff (“Battlestar Galactica”).

Sackhoff plays Nikki Franklyn, the sexy evil genius who is fresh out of prison and looking to execute a revenge plot that involves a group of her former lovers. Co-stars include Seth Green (Austin Powers), William Baldwin (Backdraft) and Harold Perrineau (“LOST”).

Peep it:

“Human Target” and “Entourage” star Janet Montgomery has scored the female lead on ABC’s “Gothica,” a modern day re-imagining of the lives of horror icons Dracula, Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and Jekyll and Hyde… think ABC’s “Once Upon a Time” with the Universal Monsters.

Montgomery plays Grace Van Helsing, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from New York who inherits her family’s small town newspaper. Chris Egan (Resident Evil: Extinction) plays Dorian Gray, a wealthy friend to Grace while Tom Ellis (“Miranda”) steps into the role of Victor Frankenstein, Grace’s one-time lover.

Horror fans will recognize Montgomery from slashers Wrong Turn 3: Left for Dead and Hills Run Red. She also co-starred in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. The British stunner is best known for playing thief Ames on FOX’s “Human Target” and Eric Murphy’s gorgeous assistant on HBO’s “Entourage.”

Laura Ramsey is set to topline NBC’s “The Sixth Gun,” a Carlton Cuse-produced pilot based on the Oni Press graphic novel of the same name. The supernatural western follows a farmer’s daughter (Ramsey) who becomes the target of undead outlaws when she comes upon a mythical pistol with paranormal powers.

Deadline reports that Jeffrey Reiner (“Friday Night Lights”) will direct the pilot from a script by Ryan Condal, writer of MGM and Paramount Pictures’ upcoming epic Hercules, starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Ramsey’s horror creds include Renny Harlin’s The Covenant, Jim Gillespie’s New Orleans-based frightener Venom and the 2005 horror-comedy Cruel World (starring Jaime Presley). She is best known, however, for her gruesomely tragic turn in 2008’s The Ruins and that Maxim layout hidden in your bathroom.

Michael Bay thrilled movie-going penises around the world this week when he announced that Megan Fox would star as the female lead in director Jonathan Liebesman’s reboot of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, set to go into production in April for a May 16, 2014 release.

Bay posted on his site:

TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!

TMNT, first published as a comic by Mirage Studios in 1984, centers on four turtles that mutate into humanoids after being exposed to radioactive slime. A giant rat trains them in martial arts and they become crime fighters who yada yada yada Megan Fox!

Fox will play computer programmer and Turtle ally April O’Neil. The role reunites her with Bay, who famously fired her from Transformers: Dark of the Moon after she compared him to Hitler in the press. Bay has since revealed that the order came from producer Steven Spielberg, who was far more offended by the comment.

According to Variety, Fox beat out actresses Jane Levy, Anna Kendrick and Elizabeth Olsen for the part. Bay is producing TMNT through his Platinum Dunes shingle for Paramount Pictures.
