RADiUS-TWC has released the first trailer for Alexandre Aja’s (Piranha 3D) adaptation of author Joe Hill’s Horns.Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) toplines as Ignatius Perrish, a man who grows horns out of his head and uses their mysterious powers to avenge the rape and murder of his girlfriend.
Horns costars Joe Anderson (“The River”), Max Minghella (Darkest Hour), Kelli Garner (“Pan Am”), and Juno Temple (Killer Joe) as Perrish’s violated, dead paramour. Hill, son of horror author Stephen King, serves as executive producer. The film arrives on Halloween.
Lowly dogs, prepare to bow your heads. Mexican pop star and actress Eiza González (“Amores Verdaderos”) is reprising her role as Santánico Pandemonium in season two of El Rey’s “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” a small screen adaptation of Robert Rodriguez’s classic 1996 frightener.
If you watched the show’s first season, you know González defied all odds, impressively filling Salma Hayek’s stripper heels as the Titty Twister’s gorgeous vampire-queen.
In addition to González, “From Dusk Till Dawn” sees the return of original stars D.J. Cotrona (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Zane Holtz (Vampires Suck) as fugitive brothers Seth and Richie Gecko, and Wilmer Valderrama (“That ’70s Show”) as serpent villain Carlos Madrigal.
Season two of the FX crime series “The Bridge” premiered this week with a glorious nude scene by star Diane Kruger. The German stunner plays a U.S. detective with Asperger’s who teams up with a Mexican detective (Demian Bichir) to track down a serial killer terrorizing the border of El Paso and Juarez.
But, it’s not all mutilated bodies. The duo also face off against ruthless, seriously frightening, drug cartels, sex traffickers, and corrupt police and politicos. Needless to say, it’s stressful work. The kind of thing that could make a sexy cop bang her sister’s killer’s brother (you really need to watch this show).
Which brings us back to Kruger’s bottomless scene. You’re welcome. “The Bridge” airs on Wednesday at 10p.m. Watch it!
Skinny sexpot Zoe Saldana (Avatar) plays green-skinned and red-haired alien stunner Gamora in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. A new featurette on the character has gone online, and it’s kinda hot. The film arrives in theaters on Aug. 1.
Because I was going to be green and I was going to be the lead girl, I just wanted teenage boys to find me attractive. I don’t know why I was stressing this a lot but I really was when we were testing. That’s where I was coming from… I’m like, “Pretty. Teenage boys, please. We gotta get their vote.
Guardians of the Galaxy is directed by James Gunn and costars Chris Pratt as intergalactic bad-boy Peter Quill, Vin Diesel as tree-humanoid Groot, Dave Bautista as Drax the Destroyer, Bradley Cooper as the voice of Rocket Raccoon, Benicio Del Toro as The Collector, and Karen Gillian as villain Nebula.
New Normal Films has released a red-band trailer for Suburban Gothic, a new horror-comedy from co-writer and director Richard Bates Jr. (Excision). Toplining the film are Matthew Gray Gubler (“Criminal Minds”) and Kat Dennings (“2 Broke Girls”).
Gubler plays Raymond, a man gifted with the unique ability to speak with the dead. Incapable of finding work in the city, he moves back home with his parents, and soon discovers that the town is under attack by demonic forces.
Dennings, who is coming off Marvel’s ridiculous, but hugely successful Thor franchise, stars as Raymond’s childhood friend and town bartender. No word yet on what role her big creamy breasts will play, but it has already earned a standing ovation from us.
A trailer has gone online for Adam Spinks’ The Expedition, a found-footage thriller about a team of research scientists who find themselves hunted by a dinosaur while on a mission to study endangered animals in the Amazon.
The trailer is pretty awesome and calls to mind the recent dino-pranks in Japan, but more frightening than funny thanks to its creative direction, practical effects, and its attractive tank-topped female cast, namely Sarah MacDonnell and Dolores Reynals (pictured above).
Universal has released a red-band clip for Fifth Element director Luc Besson’s new sci-fi actioner Lucy. Scarlett Johansson toplines as Lucy, a hot chick forced to be a drug mule by Asian gangsters who sew a mysterious narcotic into her stomach after she blackouts after a night of drunken debauchery.
Unfortunately for the gangsters, the dope leaks into Lucy’s blood, freeing the full potential of her mind and transforming her into a killing machine in a cling white tee with clairvoyant and telekinetic powers, incapable of feeling pain and emotion.
Not sure why the clip is red-band. Unlike her jaw-dropping nude performance in Under the Skin, Johansson keeps her natural talents under wraps in Lucy. Then again… that leg spread and come hither look does inspire R-rated thoughts.
Sharknado 2: The Second One premieres on Syfy July 30, and it’s every bit as ridiculous as one could hope. Starring comeback kid Tara Reid (American Pie), genre babe Kari Wuhrer (Eight Legged Freaks), and Ian Ziering (“90210”) doing his best Ash from Evil Dead, the sequel just might float.
Sharknado 2: The Second One finds Reid and Ziering on a mission to save New York from a new and bigger sharknado. It is directed by Anthony Ferrante and written by Thunder Levin, the creative masterminds behind the original Sharknado juggernaut.
A trailer has gone online for editor-turned-director Turner Clay’s new zombie frightener Disaster L.A. The film follows a group of bros as they celebrate their first year living in Los Angeles. Things take a terrible turn when glacial meteors strike the city, unleashing foreign and deadly amoebas into the air.
Slated for home video release Sept. 16, the film stars people named Justin Ray (“Living with Models”), Ali Williams, Ron Hanks, Jerod Meagher, Francisco Froes, Michael Taber, Dennis Leech, and Stefanie Estes (pictured above).
Planet Terror stunner Marley Shelton stars in Lifetime’s new sci-fi series “The Lottery.” Written by Timothy J. Sexton (Children of Men), the show is set in the year 2025 when women are no longer capable of giving birth, putting the human race in danger of extinction.
Okay, the whole extinction thing is a bummer, but the unbridled joy of releasing freely during sex without the fear of catching a disease you have to feed, shelter, and raise for 18 years kinda makes it worth it, no?
Peep it:
The synopsis reads:
Set within a dystopian future driven by a global fertility crisis, “The Lottery” reveals a world staring down the barrel of impending extinction as women have mysteriously stopped bearing children.
After years of research, Dr. Alison Lennon (Shelton) and her team remarkably create 100 viable embryos. To determine which women will carry the prized embryos to term, a national lottery is held, and a battle over the control of the 100 embryos begins.
Co-starring alongside Shelton are Michael Graziadei (“American Horror Story”), David Alpay (“The Vampire Diaries”), Athena Karkanis (SAW IV), Yul Vazquez (“Magic City”), Shelley Conn (“Terra Nova”), and Martin Donovan (The Haunting in Connecticut). “Lottery” premieres July 20.
