Jessica Alba reportedly walked out yesterday during the Sundance Film Festival’s screening of her serial-killer drama The Killer Inside Me. Alba plays a prostitute-turned-punching-bag in director Michael Winterbottom’s adaptation of Jim Thompson’s 1952 novel of the same name.

Why Alba left is unknown but, according to critics in attendance, there were quite a few walkouts from folks who found the film’s violence towards women disturbing, namely scenes featuring Alba repeatedly punched in the face and taking a ruthless belt-lashing across her ass from Casey Affleck, who plays Texas lawman and sociopath Lou Ford.

The flick also includes some nasty rough sex between Affleck and Kate Hudson, who gets choked during a scene that would give David Carradine a boner … if he weren’t a perverted dead bastard right now.

Jessica Alba was chosen by Clatto as one of the Ten Hottest Horror/Sci-fi Babes of the Past Decade.

Oh, yes … there will be blood.

Looks like Lionsgate and Twisted Pictures are done playing games with Paramount Pictures. The team behind Saw, horror’s most successful franchise to date, are enforcing a clause in Saw 6 director Keven Greutert’s contract that will prevent him from helming Paramount’s Paranormal Activity sequel.

The news comes on the heels of Paramount’s announced scheduling of Paranormal Activity 2 on Oct. 22, opposite Saw 3-D (the seventh installment in the series) at the box office.

Bad blood between the players began last Halloween when Greutert’s Saw 6 faced off against Oren Peli’s Paranormal Activity. Despite being the best Saw film since part three, Saw 6 stalled at $31 million and became the first flick in the series not to break a $100 million in worldwide coin. As a result, Lionsgate decided to rehire Saw 5 director David Hackl to shoot this year’s installment, thus freeing up Greutert to pursue other projects.

Last week, word got out that Greutert had signed on to direct Paranormal Activity 2 (Peli and Jason Blum return as producers). Paramount, which greenlit the sequel back in November when it became clear they had a blockbuster on their hands (the movie grossed over $150 million domestically), scheduled the film’s release date to coincide with Saw 3-D.

Now, Lionsgate has thrown down the gauntlet and Greutert finds himself caught in the middle of a franchise war. The editor-turned-director, who made his feature film debut with Saw 6, is understandably upset. He first expressed his disappointment by comparing the fiasco to parental rape on his blog, but has since changed the entry.

Greutert writes:

(I was told that my metaphor describing my feelings right now was in excessively poor taste, so let’s just say I’m pissed.)

In the “About” section, he adds:

Kevin Greutert is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker.  He’s very, very angry right now.

It’s unfortunate that Lionsgate didn’t show faith in Greutert early on and have only now brought him back to seemingly spite Paramount. However, like most Saw fans, I’m thrilled he’s back and grateful that Hackl is gone. I just hope Greutert doesn’t mail it in. The Saw fans are counting on him, especially after catching a peek at the new after-creds ending on the Saw 6 home editions, available tomorrow (click here to see new ending).

Lionsgate has bought the North American distribution rights to director Rodrigo Cortes man-in-the-pine-box thriller Buried. The deal was made at this year’s Sundance Film Festival for just about $4 million. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as an American citizen working in Iraq who is kidnapped and buried alive in the desert.

Lionsgate beat out bids from Screen Gems and Fox Searchlight for the rights. To see a trailer and learn more about Buried, click here.

Most Hollywood actresses know how to sell a stripper movie: Go nude and let the press know that you went nude. Jessica Biel, Demi Moore, Elizabeth Berkley, Roselyn Sanchez, Daryl Hannah, and Lindsay Lohan have all done it. Marisa Tomei even scored a Oscar nod last year for taking it off in the Mickey Rourke comeback vehicle The Wrestler.

Not so for Twilight’s Kristen Stewart. The 19-year-old actress is downplaying her role as a stripper-hooker (she doesn’t go naked) in director Jake Scott’s indie-drama Welcome to the Rileys. In an extremely inarticulate interview with MTV at Sundance, Stewart said the movie was “really not like a stripper movie at all” and that “you never see me stripping.”

Check it out:

Stewart seems to grow more agitated and uncomfortable during the interview when she attempts to talk about the downtrodden strippers she met while shooting in a “dingy bar” on Bourbon street. While she does a piss-poor job of selling the flick, her uneasiness over this part is kind of hot. Like my old man always said, “Son, the lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying.”

Welcome to the Rileys may be good drama—who knows—but, if you were hoping to see Bella in the buff, you’re going to be disappointed. You’re better off ogling Twilight costars Ashley Greene in her Sobe ad or Christian Serratos’ bare ass in this PETA poster.

ABC has tossed us “Lost” fans another lifeline while we wait anxiously for the sixth and final season to kick off on Feb. 2. In the following clip, the “Lost” cast talks about the show and their plans afterwards.

Check it out:

Naomi Watts (The Ring, Funny Games) will star opposite Daniel Craig (The Invasion, Tomb Raider) in Morgan Creek’s recently announced thriller Dream House. Directed by Jim Sheridan (Brothers, In the Name of the Father), the film centers on a family man (Craig) who discovers the house he’s moved into was the site of a grisly domestic murder. Watts has been cast as the neighbor next door.

Hmm. Sounds a lot like the Amityville Horror. I’m in. Besides, I’d go to a movie about Watt’s watching paint dry … naked. Clatto listed Watts as one of the Ten Hottest Horror/Sci-fi Babes of the Past Decade.

Dream House will begin production in Toronto in February.

Nothing is scarier than waking up in the morning after a night of debauchery with a hangover and a bad case of AIDS. No one knows this better than the diseased-riddled French.

“Stargate Atlantis” actor Jason Momoa has been cast as Conan the Barbarian in Lionsgate’s upcoming reboot of the classic 1982 film that broke Arnold Schwarzenegger into stardom. Momoa is said to have beat out Twilight’s Kellan Lutz and “Supernatural’s” Jared Padalecki for the role.

Conan the Barbarian is set to start shooting in Bulgaria on March 15. Marcus Nispel (Pathfinder, Friday the 13th) is attached as director. Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2) has reportedly been offered the part of Corin, Conan’s old man.

The Sam Raimi-produced gladiator-drama “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” premiered last night on the Starz network. Directed by Rick Jacobson (Bitch Slap), the episode, entitled “The Red Serpent,” delivered exactly what Starz’s marketing campaign had promised: bloody battles and breathtaking bods.

Though not of the caliber of HBO’s epic “Rome,” “Spartacus” appears to be unapologetic sexy, violent fun—a guilty pleasure for sure. (Update: Lucy Lawless does her first nude role in the second episode of the series. Click here to see and read about it).

(UPDATE: VIVA BIANCA GOES NUDE AS A CALL-GIRL IN ‘X’)

“The Red Serpent” introduces viewers to Spartacus (Andy Whitfield), a Thracian soldier who volunteers to serve the Roman Auxiliary in a battle against a common enemy of Thrace and Rome. After a successful blood-soaked showdown, Spartacus is ready to return to his ridiculously hot wife Sura (Erin Cummings).

Unfortunately, the Romans wish to keep Spartacus under their command. Sparty defies Commander Legatus Claudius Glaber (Craig Parker) and soon finds himself in the gladiator arena taking on four brutes in a vicious fight to the finish.

Those of you with penises will be happy to know that last night’s episode included a stroke-worthy full frontal nude scene from Viva Bianca, who plays Glaber’s wife Iliythia, and a generous helping of bare T&A from Cummings. There is also plenty of background actress boobage to be enjoyed as well.

“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” also stars Lucy Lawless, in her first-ever nude scenes, Lesley-Ann Brandt, John Hannah, Peter Mensah, Manu Bennett, Jai Courtney, Nick E. Tarabay, and Antonio Te Maioho.

Starz will run encore presentations of the premiere all weekend long. The network is also showing the episode for free on their website … so what are you still doing here?

Rob Zombie has released a video for the soon-to-be stripper anthem “Sick Bubblegum,” the first single from his upcoming CD Hellbilly Deluxe 2. The song is classic Zombie—infectious groove, psychedelic lyrics, and just fun.

The video features a no-frills performance from the band and some sexy lip-smacking gum chewing from Rob’s better-half, Sheri Moon Zombie.
