Get Your Vulcan Grip Ready: ‘Kingsman’s’ Sofia Boutella Joins ‘Star Trek 3’

sofia-boutella-star-trek-3

Kingsman’s femme fatal Sofia Boutella is set to join the cast of Star Trek 3 in an undisclosed leading role. Fast & Furious franchise director Justin Lin helms the new sequel, starring returning players Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Zoe Saldana, Anton Yelchin, Karl Urban and Simon Peg, who co-penned the script.

No word if Boutella’s character is friend or foe in the Bad Robot produced film, but those of us who enjoyed Boutella’s sexy turn as a deadly assassin with blades for feet in Matthew Vaughn’s Kingsman: The Secret Service are hopeful for a Boutella/Saldana showdown on a planet made of mud… or Jello.

Boutella is a professional dancer-turned-actress soon to be seen in Vertigo Releasing’s Monsters: Dark Continent, a sequel to Godzilla director Gareth Edwards’ acclaimed 2010 feature film debut Monsters. Star Trek 3 is slated to open July 8, 2016.

human-centipede-3

IFC Midnight has released a trailer for writer/director Tom Six’s The Human Centipede: Final Sequence. The new sequel is set in a men’s prison and features a 500-person centipede. As off-putting as an ass-to-mouth daisy chain of dudes is to us, the visual on the prison yard is as fucking amazing as it’s disturbing.

Franchise villains Dieter Laser (Dr. Heiter of Human Centipede: First Sequence) and Laurence R. Harvey (Martin of Human Centipede: Full Sequence) star as prison warden Bill Boss and his right-hand Dwight. Together they implement the human centipede program to keep rioting and insubordinate inmates in line.

Co-stars include Eric Roberts as a state governor and ex-porn star and Charlie Sheen goddess Bree Olson. The Human Centipede: Final Sequence arrives in theaters and VOD May 22.

That Slipknot Looking Killer Is Back in ‘Sinister 2’

sinister-2

If the thought of Slipknot guitarist Mick Thomson possessing your bratty kids to murder your family frightens you, you’re in for a treat as Focus Features prepares to release Sinister 2 in theaters Aug. 21. The sequel to the 2012 Blumhouse hit finds the evil specter Bughuul tormenting a mom and her twin boys.

I liked the first Sinister film up until the whole silly kid reveal. Kids are stupid… and the ones in Sinister aren’t even close to being as creepy as the ones in Children of the Corn or Will and Jada Smith’s family. And, come on, the bad guy seriously looks like a dude wearing a $20 Slipknot mask!

Bree-Olson-Human-Centipede

A May 22 theatrical and VOD release date has been announced for writer and director Tom Six’s The Human Centipede: Final Sequence. The new sequel is set in a men’s prison and will feature a 500-person centipede… that’s a lot of man ass.

Franchise villains Dieter Laser (Dr. Heiter of Human Centipede: First Sequence) and Laurence R. Harvey (copycat killer Martin of Human Centipede: Full Sequence) return to the fold and are joined by B-movie stalwart Eric Roberts. How ex-porn star Bree Olson (pictured) fits in the mix remains to be seen.

EW scored the official synopsis:

Bully prison warden Bill Boss (Laser), leading a big state prison in the US of A, has a lot of problems; his prison statistically has the highest amount of prison riots, medical costs and staff turnover in the country. But foremost he is unable to get the respect he thinks he deserves from his inmates and the state Governor (Roberts).

He constantly fails in experimenting with different ideas for the ideal punishment to get the inmates in line, which drives him, together with the sizzling heat, completely insane. Under threats of termination by the Governor, his loyal right hand man Dwight (Harvey) comes up with a brilliant idea.

A revolutionary idea which could change the American prison system for good and save billions of dollars. An idea based on the notorious Human Centipede movies, that will literally and figuratively get the inmates on their knees, creating the ultimate punishment and deterrent for anyone considering a life of crime. Having nothing to lose, Bill and Dwight create a jaw-dropping 500-person prison centipede.

Will ‘Poltergeist’ Curse Kill Remake’s Cast?

poltergeist-poster

Twentieth Century Fox has released a new trailer for producer Sam Raimi’s remake of Tobe Hooper’s 1982 supernatural blockbuster Poltergeist. Gil Kenan (Monster House) directs the film from a script written by David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz the Great and Powerful).

Poltergeist tells the story of a tight knit family taking on supernatural forces with the help of a medium to bring back their abducted young daughter from a netherworld. The movie looks creepy-cool and reminds us why clowns are dicks.

The only question now is if the remake’s cast will survive the Poltergeist curse, which took the lives of five franchise actors including it young star Heather O’Rourke (Carol Ann Freeling), dead from septic shock in 1988, and Dominique Dunne (Dana Freeling), choked to death by an ex-boyfriend.

Will Sampson, best known for playing Chief Bromden in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, played good spirit Taylor in Poltergeist 2. He died of kidney failure after a heart transplant. The awesome Julian Beck played evil Reverend Henry Kane in the same film. He passed from stomach cancer.

Zelda Rubinstein, who played the series’ iconic seer Tangina Barrons, died in 2010 at the age of 76 from natural causes… or did she? Okay… Rubinstein, Sampson, and Beck were all old and their deaths not very shocking, but still kinda fascinating and weird, no?

Poltergeist arrives May 22. Tells us who’s croaking first: Sam Rockwell, Rosemarie DeWitt, Kennedi Clements, Jared Harris, Saxon Sharbino, Susan Heyward, Jane Adams, and Nicholas Braun.
