Universal Pictures has released a teaser trailer for Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s (28 Weeks Later) new creepy-as-fuck ghost story Intruders, in theaters Oct. 7.
Clive Owen (Trust) stars in the film as a father desperately trying to protect his 11-year-old daughter—played by Ella Purnell (Never Let Me Go)—from the demons that haunt her mercilessly. Costars include Carice Van Houten (Black Death), Kerry Fox (Shallow Grave) and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds).
Now that Mickey Rourke has publicly shat on Mitch Glazer’s supernatural romancer Passion Play, Image Entertainment has reconfigured its marketing efforts to appeal to a more specialized audience: penises between the ages of 18-to-39.
The savvy studio has released a string of pics showcasing Rourke’s gorgeous costar Megan Fox in varying degrees of undress. The 24-year-old stunner plays a winged creature held captive as a circus sideshow attraction. Rourke is the down-and-out loser trying to save her.
Filling out the cast are Kelly Lynch (The Jacket), Rhys Ifans (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows), Chris Browning (Let Me In), Rory Cochrane (Scanner Darkly), Alexandra Essoe (Surviving Crooked Lake), Liezl Carstens (Fright Night) and Bill Murray (Zombieland) as circus owner Happy Shannon.
Passion Play will have a limited theatrical run starting on May 6. Home editions will arrive on May 21.

A featurette for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming reboot Rise of the Planet of the Apes has hit the web. The clip features director Rupert Wyatt explaining his take on the Planet of the Apes story and provides a peek at concept art and James Franco’s awesome hair.
Franco stars in the film as a scientist whose attempts to save an ape named Caesar from Alzheimer’s research spark a simian revolution. Costars include Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Tom Felton, Brian Cox, and Andy Serkis as Ceasar.
Dylan McDermott is heading back to the small screen in his most promising series since David E. Kelly’s Emmy-winning legal drama “The Practice.” The 49-year-old actor has been cast as therapist Ben Harmon in angry homosexual and “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy’s new FX pilot “An American Horror Story.”
The pilot episode, written by Murphy, follows Ben and his wife Vivien (Connie Britton) as they arrive in San Francisco and try to make nice with nosy neighbor Constance (Jessica Lange), her creepy Down Syndrome daughter, and burn victim Larry the Burn Guy (Denis O’Hare).
McDermott’s genre creds include the Pang Brothers’ supernatural frightener The Messengers, Richard Stanley’s cyborg thriller Hardware, and 1992’s truly horrific outing Jersey Girl.
Spanish actress Alexandra Jimenez is reuniting with her Spanish Movie director Javier Ruiz Caldera to shoot a supernatural comedy entitled Ghost Graduation. The film is Caldera’s sophomore effort and is produced by the folks behind Alejandro Amenabar’s Agora and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s Biutiful.
Ghost Graduation follows crappy high school teacher Modesto as he attempts to help five troubled spirits earn their diplomas so they can move on to the next life. Costars so far include Raul Arevalo, who starred in the Antonio Banderas directed drama Summer Rain, and TV star Ana Fernandez.
Jimenez is best known internationally for her role of Africa Sanz in the Spanish sitcom “Los Serranos.” The 31-year-old looker also starred opposite Leslie Nielsen in Caldera’s hit 2009 horror spoof Spanish Movie.
Actress Cynthia Addai-Robinson, best known for her turn as nurse Debbie Hurst on ABC’s short-lived sci-fi mystery series “FlashForward,” is stepping into (and most likely out of) Slave Naevia’s robes on season two of Starz’ hit series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”
Robinson inherits the role from fan fav Lesley-Ann Brandt, who announced back in February that she was leaving the show to secure a recurring role on the CBS crime procedural “CSI: NY” and to pursue other endeavors.
“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” is the second high-profile project Robinson has landed. In September, she will star opposite Zoe Saldana in producer Luc Besson’s latin-flavored revenge thriller Colombiana.
DreamWorks has released the first full-length trailer for producer/director Michael Bay’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The footage previewed features plenty of impressive Autobot/Decepticon action, but disappoints in its lack of Rosie Huntington-Whiteley bent over a vehicle shots.
The film’s synopsis reads:
When a mysterious event from Earth’s past erupts into the present day it threatens to bring a war to Earth so big that the Transformers alone will not be able to save us.
Stunt-woman-turned-actress Tara Macken is the latest to join Lionsgate’s big screen adaptation of author Suzanne Collins’ young-adult series “Hunger Games.” The exotic 27-year-old newcomer will portray a District 4 tribute.
Hunger Games finds child survivors of an economically and socially collapsed America competing 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.
German actress Antje Traue has landed the role of villainess Faora in director Zach Snyder’s Man of Steel. She joins a cast that includes Henry Cavill as Superman, Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Diane Lane and Kevin Costner as Martha and Jonathan Kent.
According to a mouth-breathing virgin at Variety:
[Traue will play] the version of Faora that debuted in Action Comics #779 as a Pokolistanian aide of General Zod. That character was an orphan metahuman with the ability to disrupt molecular bonds, which allowed her to create a mutagenic virus that served as the linchpin of Zod’s plan.
Genre fans may recognize Traue from her role as genetic engineer Nadia in 2009’s criminally underrated sci-fi survival frightener Pandorum. The film marked the 30-year-old looker’s American feature debut.
Relativity Media has released the first official trailer for director Tarsem Singh’s highly stylized swords-and-sandals epic The Immortals, arriving in theaters on Nov. 11.

Directed by Tarsem Singh, The Immortals tells the story of Theseus (Cavill), a mortal man chosen by Zeus (Luke Evans) to take down King Hyperion (Rourke) and his bloodthirsty army before they find a deadly weapon that could destroy all of humanity.
Filling out the cast are Twilight’sKellan Lutz as Poseidon, Stephen Dorf as master thief Stavros, Daniel Sharman as Ares, and Isabel Lucas as the Goddess Athena. To see images from the film, go here.
