Image Entertainment will release All Cheerleaders Die May 8 on VOD and June 13 in selected theaters. The horror-comedy is a remake of the 2001 Lucky McKee (The Woman) slasher, and is written and directed by McKee and Chris Sivertson (I Know Who Killed Me).
All Cheerleaders Die stars Caitlin Stasey (I, Frankenstein) as a rebellious teen who joins her high school cheerleading squad after experiencing a tragic event. Her decision pisses off the popular cheerleaders and her loner, black magic practicing ex-girlfriend, played by Sianoa Smit-McPhee (”Hung”).
Additional co-stars include sexy newcomers Brooke Butler, Amanda Grace Cooper, Felisha Cooper, Sidney Allison, Nadia Boceski and Reanin Johannink (I Survived a Zombie Holocaust). The film’s new poster is posted above, and comes via Fangoria.
Paramount Pictures has released a trailer for Megan Fox’s mutant turtle movie. Fox plays a reporter named April O’Neil, and looks absolutely stunning in the role. She really is… what’s that? You actually care about the stupid turtles? Fine. Have it your way.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is producer Michael Bay and director Jonathan Liebesman’s reboot of the popular comic first published in 1984 by Mirage Studios. It centers on four turtles that mutate into crime fighting humanoids after being exposed to radioactive slime… did I mention Megan Fox is in this?
Universal has released a new trailer for Blumhouse Productions’ The Purge: Anarchy, a sequel to the studio’s surprise hit The Purge. Once again written and directed by James Demonaco, the film follows groups of people going ape shit on the streets during country’s annual Purge.
The Purge is a government sanctioned 12-hour night during which all criminal activity is permissible by law, including murder, rape, and illegal music downloads. The Purge: Anarchy stars Frank Grillo (The Grey), Carmen Ejogo (Alex Cross), Michael K. Williams (”Boardwalk Empire”), and Kiele Sanchez (”LOST”).
Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for Jupiter Ascending, an epic sci-fi actioner from Matrix directors Lana and Andy Wachowski. Mila Kunis (Ted) plays Jupiter Jones, a beautiful Russian immigrant stuck cleaning toilets up until she discovers her genetic signature puts her in line to be Queen of the Universe.
Channing Tatum (Magic Mike) also stars as a genetically engineered intergalactic bounty hunter sent to earth to find her. Rounding out the cast are Korean starlet Doona Bae (Cloud Atlas), Eddie Redmayne (Les Miserables), Douglas Booth (Noah), and Sean Bean (”Game of Thrones”).
Porn superstar and Penthouse Pet Tori Black joins living genre legend Danny Trejo and “O.C.” star Mischa Barton in Martin Owen’s feature debut L.A. Slasher, a horror comedy about a killer who publicly abducts a group of “reality” TV stars to prove to society that they’re better off without them.
Black plays the Teen Mom character, while Trejo portrays a drug dealer, and Barton toplines the film as the Actress. The film costars Brooke Hogan as the Reality Star, Drake Bell as the Pop Star, Elizabeth Morris as The Heiress, Eric Roberts as the Mayor, and Andy Dick as the voice of the L.A. Slasher.
Warner Bros. has released a new eye-popping trailer for Bourne Identity director Doug Liman’s sci-fi actioner Edge of Tomorrow (formerly titled All You Need Is Kill). Tom Cruises stars in the film as Lt. Col. Bill Cage, a military officer killed in a suicide mission and inexplicably forced to relive the death repeatedly.
Making that Groundhog/Source Code scenario more tolerable for Cage is sexy Special Forces officer Rita Vrataski, whom he must save daily and is played by Emily Blunt. Edge of Tomorrow arrives in theaters June 6, 2014.
“Walking Dead” star Sarah Wayne Callies stars in Final Destination 5 director Steven Quale’s new tornado thriller, Into the Storm. Callies plays a meteorologist teamed up with a storm chaser during a series of violent twisters in a small Oklahoma town.
At least tornadoes don’t have rotting flesh coming off them. Tornadoes are not after you specifically. But they will flatten whatever is in their path. It’s nothing personal.
I would love to do a project where I don’t almost die. But I do think I’m drawn to stories about survival. They are so primal. You get into human behavior and really elemental things.
Callies is best known for starring in the first three seasons of AMC’s acclaimed zombe-drama “The Walking Dead.” She played the annoying and adulterous wife of wonderful and noble hero Rick Grimes. Callies also played prison doctor Sara Tancredi on Fox’s “Prison Break.”
Image Entertainment has set an April 17 VOD release date and a May 16 limited theatrical engagement for writer and director Greg Mclean’s Wolf Creek 2, a sequel to his 2005 slasher about a sadistic bushman in the Australian outback who tortures and slaughters unsuspecting travelers.
Wolf Creek 2 finds John Jarratt once again reprising his role as killer Mick Taylor, hunting down a new group of backpackers to torment and dismember. Victims are played by Shannon Ashlyn, Philippe Klaus, Ryan Corr (Where the Wild Things Are), and stunners Kate Englefield and Sarah Roberts.
A new trailer has gone online for Disney’s Maleficent, a re-imagining of the Sleeping Beauty tale told from the perspective of the iconic villainess. Angelina Jolie plays Maleficent in Academy award-winning art director Robert Stromberg’s directorial debut. Elle Fanning stars as Aurora, the sleepiest of them all.
Maleficent also costars Sharlto Copley as Aurora’s father King Stefan, Sam Riley as Maleficent’s shape-shifting Raven, Miranda Richardson as Fairy Queen Ulla, Imelda Staunton, Lesley Manville, and Juno Temple as Pixies, and Ella Purnell as young Maleficent.
Mena Suvari, star of all things American (American Beauty, American Pie, “American Horror Story”), is set to topline Amazon Studios’ “Hysteria,” a new thriller from former pop music idol and “Invasion” and “American Gothic” creator Shaun Cassidy.
“Hysteria” finds Suvari playing an ambitious and extremely intelligent, but socially awkward, neurologist and psychiatrist at the University of Texas Medical School, who goes back home to investigate a mysterious epidemic affecting high school girls through their digital devices.
Suvari made her feature film debut in Paramount Pictures’ Kiss the Girls. Notable genre creds includeMillennium Films remake of Day of the Dead, and Stuart Gordon’sStuck, the based-on-a-true-story tale of a woman who waited for her hit-and-run victim to die in her garage while stuck on her windshield.
