Tara Reid is not an actress to rest on her laurels, no matter how groundbreaking and inspirational they may have been. Case in point, rather than retire on the juggernaut that was Sharknado, she is moving on to star in the new Australian slasher Charlie’s Farm.
Set in the Australian outback, Charlie’s Farm is the location of a brutal family murder at the hands of an angry mob. Reid plays one of four friends exploring the property for thrills. Things take a nasty turn when they run into Charlie, a seven-foot tall, 375-lbs killing machine.
Reid is joined in the film by co-stars Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Kane Hodder (Hatchet), and Nathan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road) as Charlie the killer. Charlie’s Farm is written and directed by Chris Sun (Daddy’s Little Girl, Come and Get Me)
Emily Blunt is set to star in Langley Park’s big screen adaptation of Rosamund Lupton’s bestselling crime novel Sisters. Set in London, the story finds Blunt playing Beatrice, a straitlaced woman investigating the death of her free-spirit sister, Tess, long after police and family have ruled the tragedy a suicide.
As Beatrice probes into the case, she discovers that Tess was involved in an illicit affair with a married man and had been impregnated with his baby. If that weren’t enough to raise red flags on her suicide, Tess was also the object of a stalker’s obsession and a participant in a risky medical experiment trial.
Blunt is coming off Rian Johnson’s acclaimed sci-fi actioner Looper. Her creds include Universal Pictures’ 2010 reboot of The Wolfman and 2011’s The Adjustment Bureau, its adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s short story “The Adjustment Team.” She’ll next be seen alongside Tom Cruise in Edge of Tomorrow.

Cast includes Sean Astin (Lord of the Rings), Jillian Murray (The Graves), and model/actress Lydia Hearst (pictured).

The film is directed by Robbie Pickering (Natural Selection) from a 2010 Black List script by Oren Uziel.
The shots show Hudgens taking a call, stuffing her face with chips and a tasty beverage, and wearing a white and flimsy blood stained dress.

Open Road has released the first trailer for A Haunted House 2, a sequel to this year’s hit horror-comedy from Marlon Waynes and director Mike Tiddes. Waynes reprises his role as Malcolm, a man whose ex-girlfriend was possessed by demons and who is now starting his life over with a new family.
Jamie Pressly (“My Name Is Earl”) co-stars in the film as Malcolm’s hot new wife. Sadly, she doesn’t get a lot of screen time in the trailer. Instead, we get “fluffy” comedian Gabriel Iglesias to look at. That’s all right. We’ll always have Poison Ivy: The New Seduction.
A Haunted House 2 arrives in theaters on March 28, 2014.
