Katie Cassidy, daughter to ’70s teen idol David Cassidy, stars in Platinum Dunes upcoming remake of the Wes Craven classic A Nightmare on Elm Street. The 23-year-old hottie takes on the role of Tina (now named Kris) played by Amanda Wyss (The Graves) in the original.
I was just a little tween Muertos when I saw Elm Street in ’84 and Tina’s death scene played a number on my fragile young mind, frightening me with its intensity—yet giving me wood at the sight of Tina’s panties while she was thrown from wall-to-wall. It remains one of my favorite moments in horror.
Cassidy’s previous horror creds include the lead in Dimension Films’ 2006 Black Christmas remake, Screen Gems’ When a Stranger Calls remake, The Lost, and, most recently, the television serials “Supernatural” and “Harper’s island.”
A Nightmare on Elm Street 2010 is directed by Samuel Bayer and costars Rooney Mara as Nancy Thompson, Twilight’s Kellen Lutz, and Jackie Earle Haley as child molester/killer Freddy Krueger. The film arrives in theaters on April 30.
And, don’t forget to check out what original Elm Street director Wes Craven is up to these days: My Soul to Take and Scream 4.
OK, so it’s April Fool’s Day. If you’ve been surfing the web, you’ve probably been mislead and pranked while searching out juicy Hollywood gossip and interracial gang-bang scenes. But, relax, you’re at Clatto now. Here, we laugh at other people’s misfortunes.
It is in that spirit that I am posting the following two videos. You may have seen them before, but they are classic examples of fucked up pranks.
The first made its way around the net back around Christmas time and shows you why so many black people grow up to be so damn angry.
Check it out:
This next vid is especially brutal because we all know how bad it sucks to be poor (see clip above lol). Take a look at some asshats as they trick their buddy into thinking he won the lottery:
Ashley Jones plays waitress/shape-shifter Daphne Landry on HBO’s hit vampire series “True Blood.” But, the 33-year-old actress almost missed out on the career-making part due to an inexplicable fear of nudity. Fortunately, the need for rent money helped her get over those pesky self-respect issues.
She tells FHM U.K.:
When we got down to the final auditions I thought I wouldn’t get the part as the other two girls I was up against said they were okay with the nudity and I wasn’t comfortable in getting everything out.
But luckily they went with me, it just meant that I had sign off on the nakedness. I was fine with being shot from the back and showing a bit of butt, but I got to see each shot and could veto anything I didn’t like.
Way to flip-flop there, Ashley! But, hey, whatever gets you to drop trou is a good thing.
Jones can be seen in the May issue of FHM U.K. magazine.
The internet was aflutter this week with news that Megan Fox was to step into Angelina Jolie’s shorts to play video-game-heroine-turned-action-movie-bad-ass Lara Croft. Unfortunately for all our cocks, Fox has reportedly turned down the part (rumors say she’s tired of ongoing comparisons to Jolie).
But, don’t despair! A new hope has arrived!
Tabloid sensation and “Hills” star Heidi Montag has announced her interest in playing a bustier and blonder version of Lara Croft.
She tweets:
I want to be blonde Tomb Raider, I’m better with guns then both Angelina and Megan Fox put together!
By guns, I’m guessing she is referring to her new triple-D’s. Sadly, I doubt producers will hang a potentially lucrative franchise on Montag’s nips. But, that’s OK. I’m just hoping she manages to get her 3-D boobs vs. shark screenplay made.
‘True Blood” star Anna Paquin alludes to having carpet-munched at some point in her life during a PSA for Cyndi Lauper’s Give a Damn project, an online campaign designed to remind us to stop beating up gay people.
Paquin says in the spot:
I’m bisexual and I give a damn because one hate crime is committed approximately every hour of every day in this country.
The announcement comes as a surprise being that Paquin is engaged to “True Blood” costar and love-interest Stephen Moyer.
Understandably, the Oscar-winner’s declaration has eclipsed the PSA’s anti-discrimination message in favor of speculation over whose muff Paquin has dived into (The Give a Damn website has been down due to overwhelming interest).
The campaign also features some of Hollywood’s more obvious and less attractive turd-stealers and clam-smackers, including Elton John, Clay Aiken, Cynthia Nixon, Whoopi Goldberg, and Wanda Sykes.
British actor Alex Pettyfer is currently in negotiations to headline the Steven Spielberg/Michael Bay produced sci-fi actioner I Am Number Four. The film is an adaptation of the upcoming HarperCollins young-adult novel of the same name written by James Frey (“A Million Little Pieces”) and Jobie Hughes.
I Am Number Four follows nine aliens taking refuge on earth after their planet is destroyed by a rival species. Pettyfer’s role would be that of John Smith, an alien living incognito as a human high school student in Paradise, Ohio up until he’s discovered by his alien enemies.
DJ Caruso (Disturbia, Taking Lives) directs from a screenplay by “Smallville” creators Al Gough and Miles Millar. Dreamworks has set a Feb. 18, 2011 release date.
Pettyfer made his American movie debut in CBS Film’s upcoming “Beauty and the Beast” retelling Beastly, costarring Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olson, and Neil Patrick Harris.
MySpace scored these exclusive images from Sony Screen Gems upcoming sequel Resident Evil: Afterlife. The shots feature series femme-fatal Milla Jovovich (Alice) in gun-toting action and gives us a glimpse at genre babe Ali Larter (Claire Redfield).
The film’s synopsis reads:
In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella Corporation reaches new heights, but Alice gets some unexpected help from an old friend.
A new lead that promises a safe haven from the Undead leads them to Los Angeles, but when they arrive the city is overrun by thousands of Undead and Alice and her comrades are about to step into a deadly trap.
Screen Gems will premiere a red band trailer for the film at this weekend’s Wondercon convention in San Francisco, CA. MySpace will debut the trailer online this Saturday at 2:15 p.m. Of course, if I’m awake at that hour, I’ll post the trailer here for y’all as well.
Resident Evil: Afterlife was shot in 3-D (unlike 2-D-to-3-D conversion) by original Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson. The franchise, based on the bestselling Capcom video game, has grossed over $378 million worldwide.
Resident Evil: Afterlife 3-D arrives in theaters on Sept. 10.
Twin sisters Elise and Electra Avellan are set to make a splash in Parallel Media’s upcoming frightner The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond. The film is the first for the Avellan sisters since making their feature film debut in the 2007 Quentin Tarantino/ Robert Rodriguez collaboration Grindhouse (they played the “Crazy Twin Babysitters”).
(Avellan Update: The sisters can also be seen in new red-band ‘Machete’ trailer. Do they go nude? Take a look)
The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond follows a group of nine friends that violently turn against each other after playing a mysterious and ancient game during their holiday on a deserted island.
The film is directed by Gabriel Bologna and costars Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgement Day), James Duval (Donnie Darko), Mircea Monroe (Tekken), and 32-year-old stunner Danielle Harris (Halloween 2). It opens in theaters on April 9.
There's nothing more beautiful than the bond between twin sisters.
Coincidentally, The Black Waters of Echo’s Pond is exactly what I call the toilet at my local Applebees.
Fuck James Cameron. Horror director Alexandre Aja truly knows what 3-D should be used for: boobs and blood. The man behind Dimension Films’ eagerly anticipated creature-feature Piranha 3-D wants moviegoers to know that his film is a technically updated throwback to to the sensationalistic 3-D films many of us grew up with.
The biggest thing for the fans is going to be the big spring-break wet T-shirt contest, where we have thousands of spring-break groups on the water and the party has its climax when the piranhas come and start attacking everyone. It’s almost 25 minutes of a huge massacre, and it’s really insane.
I think we broke all the records in the manner of blood used. I don’t remember the exact number, but we passed ‘Kill Bill.
I understand why James Cameron in Avatar didn’t want to make the 3-D gimmicky, and he was right. But we are making a piranha-attacking-spring-break movie, so we are going to go for the huge on-the-screen effects and fish attacking the audience.
Piranha 3-D stars Elisabeth Shue, Ving Rhames, Jerry O’Connell, Eli Roth, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Dreyfuss, Dina Meyer, porn star Riley Steele, and the gorgeous Kelly Brook. The film arrives in theaters on August 27.
To ensure that 13-year-old fan boys and 40-year-old virgins don’t hurt themselves while feverishly admiring Iron Man 2 sex-pot Scarlett Johansson in the film’s new poster, Marvel Entertainment have decided to only show half of the gorgeous blonde’s redhead’s body.
The poster showcases Johansson as the Black Widow and was printed exclusively for this weekend’s Wondercon convention in San Francisco, Ca (pick yours up at booth #242).
Iron Man 2 is directed by Jon Favreau and costars Robert Downy Jr., Mickey Rourke, Samuel Jackson, Don Cheadle, and—the now completely overshadowed—Gwyneth Paltrow. The film flies into theaters on May 7.
