Production has wrapped on director C Plus Pictures’ The Confines, an urban thriller starring Martha Marcy May Marlene stunner Louisa Krause (pictured), Mark Margolis (“Breaking Bad”), and Jason Patric (Your Friends & Neighbors).
The Confines follows a single mother (Krause) as she works security detail for an abandoned luxury apartment complex with a douche-bag partner (Patric) hell bent on terrorizing her. Making matters worse are a creepy vagrant (Margolis) and the building’s catacombs, which serve as a trap for the young MILF.
The Confines marks the directorial debut of some guy named Eytan Rockaway, who co-wrote the story with some other guy named Ido Fluk (c’mon… neither of those names are real, right?). The film, which wrapped in New York, is produced by a bunch of people with money.
Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have released the first trailer for Monsters director Gareth Edwards’ eagerly anticipated reboot of Godzilla. Slated for release May 16, 2014, the film stars Elizabeth Olsen, Bryan Cranston, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Juliette Binoche, and, representing Tokyo, Ken Watanabe.
The official synopsis reads:
An epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.
Godzilla made his debut in the 1954 Japanese film Gojira. Master of disaster Roland Emmerich (2012, Independence Day) took a massive shit all over the iconic beast in his 1998 reboot Godzilla. The film still managed to earned over $376 million worldwide, a testament to Godzilla’s ongoing popularity.
Anchor Bay has released a red band trailer for what promises to be one of the most awesome revenge flicks ever: Scorned. Directed by Mark Jones (Leprechaun), the film stars AnnaLynne McCord (“90210”) as a woman who goes bat shit crazy when she discovers that her man is screwing her best friend.
A brunette Viva Bianca (“Spartacus”) plays McCord’s BFF. Billy Zane (Titanic) inexplicably completes the triangle as the object of the women’s desires. The trailer is chockful of torture and super sexy lingerie. Nods to Fatal Attraction and Misery are nicely mixed with shots of McCord and Bianca’s crotchular region.
Scorned arrives on DVD, Blu-ray, and VOD on Feb. 4.
Lionsgate has released a trailer for Reasonable Doubt, a crime thriller from director Peter Howitt (Sliding Doors) and screenwriter Peter A. Dowling (Flightplan) about a District Attorney who fatally strikes a pedestrian with his car and flees the scene, leaving another man to take the fall for the crime.
The guilty DA takes the accused man’s case and proceeds to fumble it in a successful attempt to have him set free. All works out great up until the DA discovers that the man is a serial killer with an unquenchable thirst for blood.
Reasonable Doubt stars Dominic Cooper (The Devil’s Double) as the District Attorney, Samuel Jackson as the killer, and Erin Karpluk (pictured) as the DA’s wife. The film arrives on VOD and in selected theaters on Jan. 17.
Lionsgate has released the first trailer for its psycho-sexual thriller Nurse 3D. Paz de la Huerta (“Boardwalk Empire”) toplines the film as Abby Russell, a butterfaced day nurse with lesbian inklings who seduces and murders men by night.
Katrina Bowden (“30 Rock”) plays Danni, the pretty young nurse Abby falls for and drugs into her bed after a night of club hopping. When Danni rejects her slutty and stalkerish advances, Abby loses her shit and amps up her rage… and boob flashing.
Nurse 3D arrives in selected theaters and VOD on Feb. 7.

Mega Shark Vs. Mecha Shark is the second sequel in the Mega Shark franchise, which includes 2009’s Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus and 2010’s Mega Shark Vs. Crocosaurus. Along with Gibson, the flick stars stunners Elisabeth Rohm (American Hustle), and Hannah Levien (Bloody Hell).
Mexican actress Diana Garcia (Sin Nombre) is co-starring in SX_Tape, a new found-footage thriller from director Bernard Rose (Candyman, Immortal Beloved) and producer Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious).
Scripted by newcomer Eric Reese, SX_Tape follows young couple Jill (Caitlyn Folley) and Adam (Ian Duncan) as they set out to shoot a sex video in an abandoned hospital. Things go all kinds of wrong, and they are soon fighting for their lives. Garcia plays one in a group of friends dropping by to get killed.
Garcia is best known for a string of international dramas, including Cary Joji Fukunaga’s critically acclaimed indie Sin Nombre, in which she played the ill fated girlfriend of a Mara Salvatrucha gang member in Mexico. The film earned Best Director honors at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival Awards.
“X-Files” star Gillian Anderson posed nude with a conger eel wrapped around her shoulders to show support for U.K. based Fishlove’s new campaign in support of sustainable fishing. While the sight of naked Scully is welcomed, that is one ugly fucking eel. One look at that thing, and people will want them extinct.
OK… I’m kidding. Eels are awesome… especially in sushi and Japanese porn. The shot was taken by French portrait photographer Denis Rouver. To show your support, visit Fishlove’s website and sign a petition.
Anderson, best known for playing FBI Agent Dana Scully on “The X-Files,” is a recurring on NBC’s new “Hannibal” series, playing Hannibal Lecture’s shrink. She’s recently starred in a string of genre offerings, including the robot-apocalypse drama Our Robot Overloads, the alien thriller I’ll Follow You Down, and the zom–com Curse of the Buxom Strumpet.
Wonder Woman fans are getting their star-spangled Underroos in bunch over Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder’s casting of Fast & Furious franchise star Gal Gadot as the iconic Amazonian Princess in Batman Vs. Superman. The part is the Israeli stunner’s first lead role.
Snyder said:
Wonder Woman is arguably one of the most powerful female characters of all time and a fan favorite in the DC Universe.
Not only is Gal an amazing actress, but she also has that magical quality that makes her perfect for the role.
We look forward to audiences discovering Gal in the first feature film incarnation of this beloved character.
Gadot reportedly edged out French starlet Elodie Yung (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) and Ukrainian goddess Olga Kurylenko(Oblivion) for the role. Personally, I favored Jaimie Alexander (Thor: The Dark World), who expressed interest in playing Wonder Woman a couple of months back.
Batman Vs. Superman will have Man of Steel actors Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Laurence Fishburne and Diane Lane reprising their roles. Batman will be played by Ben Affleck, stepping in for Christian Bale, who played the Caped Crusader in Warner Bros. Dark Knight trilogy.
Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Noam Murro’s 300: Rise of an Empire, a companion film to the Zack Snyder-directed blockbuster 300, has gone online. Snyder produces and adapts the Frank Miller graphic novel with screenwriter Kurt Johnstad (300, Act of Valor).
Rise of an Empire follows Athenian general Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton) as he battles Persian king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro) and his vengeful navy commander Artemesia (Eva Green). The events occur at the same time that King Leonidas is leading his 300 Spartans into the Battle of Thermopylae.
300: Rise of an Empire arrives in theaters March 7, 2014.
