Press On Features and Black and Blue Films have released a trailer for director Dominic Burns’ in-flight frightener Airborne. British actress/model Gemma Atkinson stars in the flm as Harriett, a passenger aboard a jumbo jet carrying an ancient evil that has gotten loose and is driving people crazy.

What ever happened to the middle part of The Human Centipede? We know the head (Akihiro Kitamura) went on to guest star on NBC’s “Heroes” and that the tail (Ashlynn Yennie) will soon be seen in the canine frightener Fetch and The Human Centipede sequel. But what’s Ashley C. Williams up to these days?
Well, it turns out Williams is heading to our small screens in Vanguard Cinema’s oh-shit-the-world-is-out-of-gas post apocalyptic drama Empty, arriving on DVD on July 26.
Peep it:
The film’s lengthy synopsis reads:
Charming young slacker Dell Hansard is in love with beautiful Piper. He makes an impromptu proposal on a weeklong camping trip, but Piper, the daughter of a wealthy businessman hesitates.
On their way home they stop at a gas station, and are surprised to find signs reading “closed indefinitely due to the gas crisis.” Having been away for a few days the young couple does not realize the world is in the grip of crisis. They are stuck in the middle of nowhere and soon find out they must fend for their lives.
They sleep at a nearby abandoned motel where a manipulative manager swindles them out of their last dollars. The crisis worsens when they are robbed of everything valuable they have. This is more than a crisis, the young lovers have returned to a world that has been completely turned on its head.
This may well be the end of the world as they know it, and they never knew what happened. Can they stick together and survive, or is their love not strong enough for the challenge?
Empty is writer/director C.S. Drury feature film debut and costars newcomers Jon Carlo, Barry McBrien, John Woodruff and Neicy Cerice.
‘Big Bang” starlet Kaley Cuoco is set to star opposite Rob Lowe in Lifetime’s upcoming based-on-a-true-story murder mystery The Drew Peterson Story: Aka Ladykiller. Peterson is a 57-year-old former police sergeant currently awaiting trial for the 2004 murder of his third wife Kathleen Savio. He is also the prime suspect in the disappearance of his fourth wife Stacy.
Cuoco has been cast to play 23-year-old Stacy Peterson. Stacy, who went missing in October of 2007, has yet to be found and is believed to be dead. Her mysterious disappearance led detectives to reopen the Kathleen Savio case, which up until last year had been ruled an accidental death (bathtub drowning). After exhuming Savio’s body, it was determined that she had been murdered after a struggle.
Lowe will portray Drew Peterson, who commented to his lawyer today:
If I was ever in a movie, I was hoping I would be portrayed by Denzel Washington, but I guess Rob Lowe is OK.
Peterson is being held on $20 million and resides at the Will County Jail in Illinois.
The Drew Peterson Story: Aka Ladykiller is based on Herald News reporter Joseph Hosey’s book “Fatal Vows: The Tragic Wives of Drew Peterson.” It’s adapted for the small screen by Teena Booth, who wrote a Lifetime movie on the disappearance of Natalee Holloway.
Cuoco currently plays love interest Penny on the CBS sitcom “The Big Bang.” She also starred as jailbait John Ritter’s daughter, Bridgette Hennessy, on ABC’s “8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter.”
“LOST” star Matthew Fox is looking to enlist opposite Brad Pitt in Paramount Pictures’ big screen adaptation of author Max Brooks novel “World War Z.” Fox joins a cast that includes Mirielle Enos (“The Killing”), Julia Levy-Boeken (Road Trip: Beer Pong), and James Badge Dale (The Grey).
World War Z is set ten years after a zombie apocalypse and follows a UN researcher (Pitt) as he collects testimonials from survivors around the world. Fox is rumored to be playing a parachute trooper. The film is directed by Marc Forster (Quantum of Solace) and goes into production this month.
Fox, best known for playing Jack Shepard on ABC’s greatest show ever “LOST,” will also be seen in director Rob Cohen’s (The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor) adaptation of the James Patterson novel I, Alex Cross. He plays serial killer Michael “The Butcher of Sligo” Sullivan.
A trailer for the Dennis Quaid headlined serial killer thriller Beneath the Darkness has hit the web. Directed by the guy who shot National Lampoon’s Cattle Call, the film stars Quaid as a homicidal maniac out to finish off a group of kids trying to expose him.
Peep it:
The synopsis reads:
After watching their best friend get murdered, a group of teens struggle to expose a local hero as the psychopathic killer and keep from becoming his next victims.
Beneath the Darkness was filmed in Smithville, Texas and costars Aimee Teegarden, best known for playing Julie Taylor on “Friday Night Lights.” On the big screen, the 21-year-old starlet was last seen in Wes Craven’s Scream 4.
“Fringe” recurring Ari Graynor stars opposite Colin Hanks (“Dexter”) in Phase 4 Film’s upcoming serial killer comedy Lucky. The story revolves around a killer (Hanks) who wins the lottery and marries a cute girl after his money (Graynor).
Lucky costars hottie Heather Marie Marsden (Terror Trap), Jeffrey Tambor (“Arrested Development”), the late Ann-Margret (ask your mom), Adam Harrington (“Secret Circle”), Mimi Rogers and her enormous 55-year-old breasts (Full Body Massage).
Graynor plays Rachel Dunham, sister to FBI agent Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), on the J.J. Abrams-produced Fox sci-fi series “Fringe.” She also starred as an adorable drunk chick in the 2008 rom-com Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.
Last August, Mrs. Muertos and I headed down to the Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, CA to attend “LOST: The Official Show Auction and Exhibit.” It was a two-day bittersweet event that allowed fans of the show to bid on all sorts of props and set pieces from the Emmy-winning show.
When all was over and done, the auction had raised over $1.8 million and the lil lady and I were out about $25 (spent on one Dharma water, one Oceanic Airlines water, and a couple of Sawyer sundae specials purchased from one of them fancy gourmet trucks).
Someone who apparently fared better than us was Verbal Ink CEO JR Wurster. The rich bastard took home many “LOST” items including the “Cave Ceiling with Candidate’s Names and Numbers” first seen inside the island’s Cliffside Cave during the episode “The Substitute.” The piece, purchased for $650, now sits in the Verbal Ink office.
Paramount Pictures held the premiere for director/producer J.J. Abrams’ fam-friendly sci-fi thriller Super 8 last night at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, CA. Attending the event were Abrams, producing partner Steven Spielberg, and the film’s cast including Elle Fanning, Amanda Michalka, and Kyle Chandler.
Also seen at the shindig were hotties Aly Michalka, Paz Vega, and Jaime King, some guy named Tom Cruise, director Michael Bay, Conan O’Brien, Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz, once-upon-a-time TV star Jenna Elfman and James “Jesus” Caviezel.
Every male on the dating circuit knows it takes a lot of money and effort to get a woman naked. After all, ruffies and charm don’t grow on trees. For those who lack game, cash, and a good drug dealer, the night usually ends with uncontrolled sobbing and a Riley Steele Fleshlight (not you though. you guys are suave!).
Imagine how great it would be to enjoy a woman’s company without wondering what she looks like beneath her clothes. One could engage her in conversations about art and cinema, argue politics and philosophy, and discuss dreams and disappointments.

Posted above is the first photo released from AMC to promote the still-awhile-away second season of Frank Darabont’s hit zombie series “The Walking Dead.” Production on the series is already underway in Atlanta, Georgia.
Says Darabont:
At this moment, I’m standing on a stretch of post-apocalypse interstate in Georgia, littered with abandoned cars and blessing my good luck to be reunited with our amazing cast, and our fantastic directors and crew. Across the board, there are none better. It’s great to be shooting again. I think we’ve embarked on a great season.
“The Walking Dead” debuted last year to ratings success and critical acclaim, earning a Best New Series nomination at the 2011 Writers Guild of America Awards and a Best Drama Series nom at the 68th Golden Globes Awards.
Season two of “The Walking Dead” is set to premiere in October and, unlike the first, will have a 13-episode arch.
