Sony Pictures released today a first trailer for Zombieland: Double Tap, the long awaited sequel to the hit 2009 horror-comedy, starring Woody Harrelson (Tallahassee), Jesse Eisenberg (Columbus), Abigail Breslin (Little Rock), and Emma Stone (Wichita).
The sequel takes our heroes on a journey from the White House to the American heartland, meeting new survivors along the way and battling stronger breeds of the undead.
Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) directs from a script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese (Deadpool). New faces include Rosario Dawson (“Dare Devil”), Zoey Deutch (Vampire Academy), and Luke Wilson (Idiocracy). Zombieland: Double Tap arrives in theaters Oct. 18.
The USA Network has released its first teaser-trailer for season two of “The Purge,” a small-screen companion series to the Blumhouse hit movie franchise. Set to premiere in the fall, the new season will be 10 episodes long and explore the ramifications of Purge night for a handful of participants for the remaining year.
Now, that is one hell of a concept and holds potential for an enthralling season. We had given up hope on the TV series after season one, but faith in our New Founding Fathers just may have been restored.
While we prefer our animation chockful of tentacles and Asian maids, an animated Harley Quinn series is something we could get excited about, especially one voiced by Kaley Cuoco (“Big Bang Theory”) for DC Universe.
Unfortunately, this Harley Quinn is more PG-13 than full blown adult—just a brat that curses and wacks peeps in the nuts. “Stripperella” this is not. But, hey, those shorts look painted on!
Vertical Entertainment has released a trailer for She’s Missing. The film stars Eiza Gonzalez as an aspiring rodeo queen who one day disappears, leaving her best friend (Lucy Fry) to search for her on a dangerous trek across the New Mexico desert.
Horror fans will immediately recognize Gonzalez as the courageous stunner who stepped into Salma Hayek’s stilettos to play Satanico Pandemonium in Robert Rodriguez’s small screen adaptation of his 1996 vampire crime thriller From Dusk Till Dawn.
Horror streaming service Shudder has set a Sept. 26 premiere date for its new original anthology series “Creepshow.” Based on the beloved 1982 movie collaboration between writer Stephen King and director George A. Romero, the show hails from producer/director/makeup guru Greg Nicotero (“Walking Dead”).
“Creepshow” will feature a variety of stories written by horror’s top scribes and helmed by the genre’s best. Starring in the first season will be Tobin Bell (SAW), Jeffrey Combs (Re-Animator), Giancarlo Esposito (“Breaking Bad”), Adrienne Barbeau (The Fog), DJ Qualls (Road Trip), David Arquette (Scream), and stunner Tricia Helfer (pictured).
CBS Films and Lionsgate have released a new creepy as fuck trailer for producer Guillermo del Toro’s eagerly anticipated adaptation of Alvin Schwartz’s terrifying 80’s children’s book series “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.”
Helmed by André Øvredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe), the film is set in 1968 and follows a group of American teenagers tormented by the tales of a deeply traumatized girl in a book they find while breaking into the mansion she once lived.
Heavy metal outfit Slipknot have released a video for “Solway Firth,” the second track from its sixth album “We Are Not Your Kind,” out Aug. 9. The video features gory good fun from scenes of Amazon Original’s new anti-hero series “The Boys.”
“The Boys” follows a group of vigilantes out for corrupt superhero blood using nothing more than their grit and willingness to fight dirty. The show premieres July 26.
Ana de la Reguera (“Narcos”) is set to battle the living dead for director Zack Snyder (Dawn of the Dead) this summer in his return to the zombies, Army of the Dead. The Mexican stunner plays part of a mercenary squad out to pull a heist in Las Vegas during a zombie outbreak.
She joins an ensemble cast that includes Dave Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy), Garret Dillahunt (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Theo Rossi (“Sons of Anarchy”), Nora Amezeder (Maniac), and hot up-and-comer Ella Purnell (Maleficent).
Fright fans may recognize de la Reguera from roles in “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” Kevin Greutert’s creepy 2014 supernatural thriller Jessabelle, and 2011’s Cowboys & Aliens.
Army of the Dead marks Snyder’s return to directing after last helming 2017’s Justice League and will premiere as a Netflix exclusive.
HBO has released a full-length trailer for season three of “Westworld,” a re-imagining of the 1973 Michael Crichton novel about androids run amok in an amusement park designed for humans to indulge in their lust for blood and sex.
The new season finds more pesky cyborgs pooping on everyone’s parade with their newfound awareness. Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood), a host-controlled Charlotte Hale (Tessa Thompson), and Bernard (Jeffrey Wright) are creating chaos in the real world while Maeve (Thandie Newton) raises hell in a WWII-themed park.
Marvel Studios has set a May 1, 2020 release date for its standalone Scarlett Johansson superhero pic, Black Widow. Set prior to the events of 2012’s The Avengers, the spinoff depicts Natasha Romanoff’s rise from troubled, sexy Soviet spy to sexy and righteous superhero.
Johansson said:
I get to play Natahsa as a fully realized woman and in all of her many facets. I’m excited for fans to see the flawed side of her, what she perceives to be the flawed side of her.
Co-starring alongside Johansson are David Harbour (“Stranger Things”), O-T Fagbenle (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Rachel Weisz (The Mummy), and Florence Pugh (Midsommar), who plays Black Widow nemesis-turned-ally and Black Widow successor Yelena Belova.
Cate Shortland, the Aussie director behind the suspenseful Teresa Palmer abduction thriller The Berlin Syndrome, is at the helm.
The photo above is altered to reflect how Scarlett Johansson’s wardrobe should have been worn as Black Widow. Here’s hoping the new film finally gets it right!
