Marilyn Manson has released a music video for his new single “Born Villain.” The most shocking thing about it? It’s directed by Hollywood ass-hat Shia LaBeouf … and there’s a vagina with an eyeball. There’s also boobies and body suspension and some cheesy Shakespeare readings—which I’m sure will conjure up English Lit nightmares for us all.
“Born Villain” is the title track to Manson’s upcoming eighth studio album.
Peep it:
“In Plain Sight” starlet Rachel Boston is the latest addition to writer, director, and actor Todd Berger’s upcoming horror-comedy It’s a Disaster. The 29-year-old joins a cast that includes Berger, America Ferrera (“Ugly Betty”), Julia Stiles (“Dexter”), Kevin M. Brennan (The Lake House), Jeff Grace (Scenesters), Blaise Miller (Scenesters) and Laura Adkin.
The film follows four couples who, while meeting for a Sunday brunch during holiday, discover that the end of the world is upon them. Boston, best known for her recurring role as detective Abigail Chaffee on the USA network’s “In Plain Sight” and as Beth Mason on NBC’s 2002 dramedy “American Dreams,” will play a wily wild-child named Lexi Kivel.
It’s a Disaster starts filming next month in Los Angeles.
G4TV has released video of “Attack of the Show” cohost—and former Playboy Playmate—Sara Jean Underwood making the rounds at this year’s Anime Expo, held in July at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Underwood, a cosplay freak, attended the event as Lum the Invader from the manga series Urusei Yatsura. If that doesn’t make you squeal like a 12-year-old Japanese boy, then you obviously don’t know what the costume looks like.
Peep it:
Sure, the curvy 21-year-old stunner is covered head to toe in blue paint, but that jiggle sure as hell ain’t movie effects. With X-Men: First Class set to arrive on home-video on Sept 9, Twentieth Century Fox has leaked footage of Lawrence undergoing the makeup process that transformed her into a young and naked Mystique.
It’s all presented in a very professional and artistic manner, but—let’s face it—this isn’t exactly Andy Serkis running around in a motion capture suit. It amazes me that no one comments on the two big blue elephants in the room. How refreshing would it have been to hear someone say, “Dayum, that bitch got sum big ole titties under that slop.”
Enjoy:
Jordana Spiro is the latest guest star to join season six of Showtime’s award-winning serial killer drama “Dexter.” The pretty 34-year-old will play a religious cult member under the spell of its homicidal leader (Edward James Olmos).
The synopsis for the show’s new season reads:
Dexter Morgan spent Season Five atoning for the death of his wife, Rita. He committed to being a part of her children’s lives and entered into a deep, passionate relationship with Lumen, unlike anything he’d ever had before.
But Dexter’s need to kill overpowers his desire for human connection. And now that one person knows the truth about him, and a few others are close, how much longer will America’s favorite serial killer be able to keep his dark side a secret?
Additional guest stars include Colin Hanks (Lucky), MC-turned-actor Mos Def, Mariana Klaveno (“True Blood”) Molly Parker (“The Firm”), Josh Cooke (Quarantine 2: Terminal), Billy Brown (Cloverfield), Brea Grant (“Heroes”) and Latin stunner Aimee Garcia (“Trauma”).
Spiro’s genre creds include an episode of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and a starring role in the From Dusk Till Dawn home-video sequel From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman’s Daughter. She will next be seen opposite Nicolas Cage and Nicole Kidman in director Joel Schumacher’s home-invasion thriller Trespass.
Burlesque model-and-performer Dita Von Teese is set to star opposite Paz de la Huerta (“Boardwalk Empire”) and Katrina Bowden (“30 Rock”) in Lionsgate’s exciting new psycho-sexual slasher Nurse 3-D. The shapely 38-year-old will play a nightclub performer who most likely wears old lady lingerie like the kind you found in your mom’s dresser drawer (btw, she knows).
The film centers on a beautiful, but bat-shit crazy, nurse named Abby Russell (Huerta) who seduces and murders men she deems as being wicked. Things get complicated for Abby, however, when a young nurse (Bowden) grows suspicious about of her behavior.
Nurse 3-D is directed by Douglas Aarniokoski (The Day) and costars Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Boris Kodjoe (Resident Evil: Afterlife) and Adam Herschman (Bucky Larson). The film shoots this month in Toronto.
(UPDATE: DITA IS NOT IN THE MOVIE. BREAK THE NEWS GENTLY TO YOUR PENIS)
Josh Brolin has scored the lead in Spike Lee’s American remake of South Korean director Park Chan-wook’s revenge thriller Oldboy. Written by Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend), the Mandate Pictures and Vertigo Entertainment production will roll camera next March.
Oldboy tells the tale of a man (Brolin) who is abducted and held captive in a crappy hotel room for 15 years for no apparent reason. When he is finally released, he sets out to find and take vengeance on the people who ruined his life.
Oldboy is one of those films that people keep telling me I have to see, but that I keep pushing down my Netflix queue in favor of English-speaking movies—even those starring Nic Cage. Needless-to-say, I’m thrilled this is happening.
Brolin just wrapped Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black 3. His previous genre creds include Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror, Guillermo Del Toro’s Mimic, Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man, and last year’s unfortunate misstep Jonah Hex.
Lionsgate has released the first teaser trailer for its much buzzed about big screen adaptation of author Suzanne Collins’ young-adult series “Hunger Games.” Now, when I say teaser I mean just that. This trailer is like Jodie Foster dancing around and hiking her skirt up around a bunch of horny rednecks. It’s such a dirty little teaser. Just look at it. It’s totally asking for it.
Peep it:
Hunger Games follows child survivors of an economically and socially collapsed America as they compete in televised games of death in a new country named Panem. Two kids from each of Panem’s 12 districts are chosen by lottery each year to participate.
The film is directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence (X-Men: First Class), Josh Hutcherson (Journey 2: The Mysterious Island), Woody Harrelson (2012), Liam Hemsworth (Knowing), Leven Rambin (”Grey’s Anatomy”), Donald Sutherland (An American Haunting), stunt-woman-turned-actress Tara Macken and Elizabeth Banks (The Uninvited).
The Hunger Games will be in theaters on March 23, 2012.
Today is a good day to die … if you hate remakes. If not, then you may want to stick around to see Sony Pictures’ planned redo of director Joel Schumacher’s Flatliners, a 1990 sci-fi thriller about med-school students conducting near-death experiments to see what lies in the afterlife.
Species 3 and Species: The Awakening scribe Ben Ripley, best known these days for penning Duncan Jones’ sci-fi hit The Source Code, has been hired to write the remake. Laurence Mark (I, Robot) is attached as producer.
Despite its intriguing premise, Flatliners remains most notable for its impressive cast of then rising stars Kiefer Sutherland, Julia Roberts, Kevin Bacon, William Baldwin and Oliver Platt. Produced for $26 million, the film grossed over $61 million domestically during its theatrical run.
Zoe Saldana has sealed a deal with Paramount Pictures to produce and star in the supernatural thriller Dominion, reports THR. The 33-year-old Dominican beauty will play a woman who is half-human/half-angel. The pitch is from writing duo Dean McCreary and Chester Hastings (You’re My Angel).
Saldana, best known for her roles as Lieutenant Nyota Uhurain in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot and as Na’vi babe Neytiri in James Cameron’s Avatar, can currently be seen in Luc Besson’s (The Fifth Element) new action-oriented revenge-thriller Colombiana.
