Warner Bros. released The Justice League in 2017 and it was dubbed a turd faster than a speeding bullet. The reason, it’s largely believed, was due to helmer Zack Snyder handing the flick over to Avengers director Joss Whedon when personal tragedy struck. Whedon shit the bed and DC was left with a mess in its hands.
Geeks clamored for what soon became known as the Snyder cut of the film and HBO Max has come to the rescue, announcing a 2021 release of Snyder’s Justice League, minus Whedon’s stank, as a four-hour series on its streaming service. Here’s hoping half of that run-time is spent on slow-mo shots of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman running, jumping, and sucker punching!
A trailer has been released today and it goes like this:
Fresh off her nude debut on HBO’s “Lovecraft Country,” Jamie Chung is once again set to thrill horror fans with a role on Showtime’s eagerly anticipated “Dexter” revival series. Chung will play a hot and famous host of a true crime podcast.
Chung is best known to fright fans for her work in Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch, Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, sex trafficking thriller Eden, in-flight frightner 7500, and 2009’s re-imagining of Sorority Row.
Chung also co-starred on Fox’s Batman origins series “Gotham” as journalist Valerie Vale and played Mulan on ABC’s “Once Upon a Time.”
The 10-episode “Dexter” revival series sees Michael C. Hall back as one-time prolific serial killer and Miami Metro’s forensics specialist Dexter Morgan—last seen living incognito as a lumberjack in the show’s unbelievably horrible series final. Set to premiere this fall, the show aims to give Dexter fans a proper end.
Piranha 3DD stunner Katrina Bowden is once again up against a deadly fish in director Martin Wilson’s feature film debut Great White. Bowden plays a hot sea plane pilot who crash lands in the ocean with her boyfriend while flying passengers to a picturesque destination. The group must swim to the beach for safety while hunted by great white sharks.
Bowden is best known for her role on the NBC comedy “30 Rock” and is the very sexy star of such notable fright flicks as John Gulager’s Piranha 3DD, Nurse 3D with wacko sex-pot Paz de la Huerta (“Boardwalk Empire”), horror-comedy Scary Movie 5, and Eli Craig’s hilarious cult classic Tucker & Dale vs. Evil.
Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures have released an official trailer for Godzilla vs. Kong, premiering simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max March 31. Fright master Adam Wingard (You’re Next, Blair Witch 2016) is at the helm, directing from a script by Eric Pearson (Black Widow) and Max Borenstein (Godzilla 2014, Kong: Skull Island, Godzilla: King of the Monsters).
As the title spells out, the film pits the radioactive lizard against the big ape in an epic battle sure to wreak havoc on the earth and it’s tiny peeps. Kong, on a journey to find his home with the help of human do-gooders, crosses paths with a pissed off Godzilla and monkey shit hits the fan!
While we don’t care about the people in Godzilla vs. Kong, the film does have a few stunners we hope survive long enough to take an onscreen shower: Eiza González (“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series”), Rebecca Hall (Vicky Cristina Barcelona) and Jessica Henwick (Underwater).
AMC has released a new trailer for the extended 10th season of “The Walking Dead.” With the Whisperers silenced during the show’s Covid-delayed season finale, its six additional episodes present a fresh threat for Eugene and The King to battle and promises an emotional and bitter showdown between Maggie Green Rhee (Lauren Cohan) and her husband’s killer, now reformed antihero, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).
Also exciting is the long-awaited introduction of Negan’s beloved, deceased wife and death-wielding bat namesake, Lucille, played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s real-life wife, Hilarie Burton Morgan (“One Tree Hill”). It all begins Feb. 28.
CBS has released a trailer for “Clarice,” a new series based on the iconic Silence of the Lambs protagonist made famous by Jodie Foster. Written and executive produced by Alex Kurtzman (The Island) and Jenny Lumet (The Mummy), “Clarice” picks up after the events of Lambs and follows Starling as she hunts down violent criminals.
Rebecca Breeds, of Freeform’s “Pretty Little Liars” and the CW’s “Vampire Diaries” spinoff “The Originals,” stars as Clarice Starling. Co-stars include Michael Cudlitz (“The Walking Dead”) as Clarice’s professional nemesis Deputy Assistant Attorney General Paul Krendler, Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar) as FBI agent Emin Grigoryan, and Simon Northwood as Clarice-captured serial killer Buffalo Bill.
Screen Media Films has released a trailer for Willy’s Wonderland, a sci-fi thriller pitting Nicolas Cage up against animatronic monsters in a condemned amusement park. Teaming up with Cage to battle the bots is busty señorita Emily Tosta, seen most recently in the woke reboot of the beloved classic teen soap “Party of Five” and “Sons of Anarchy” spinoff “Mayans M.C.”
Saban Films has released a trailer for Constantin Film’s reboot of its 2003 backwoods horror gem Wrong Turn. Helmed by Mike P. Nelson (The Domestics) and written by original Wrong Turn scribe Alan B. McElroy, the new film pits six friends up against a deadly mountain community while hiking the Appalachian Trail.
Wrong Turn stars Spanish stunner Charlotte Vega (REC: Genesis), skinny stunner Emma Dumont (“Aquarius”), Daisy Head (Underworld: Blood Wars), and Mathew Modine (“Stranger Things”).
The original Wrong Turn starred Eliza Dushku (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) as a final girl hunted by inbred cannibals in the West Virginia mountains. The film took more than $28 million and spawned five gory and highly entertaining sequels.
Netflix has released a trailer for Night Stalker: The Hunt For a Serial Killer, a four-part documentary on the capture of notorious serial murder Richard Rameriz in 1985’s California. Premiering Jan. 13, 2021, the show presents archival footage, interviews, and original photography to bring the horror story to life.
Richard Ramirez terrorized Southern California during a record-breaking heatwave in 1985, brutally killing and dismembering victims with satanic flare. He was captured on August 29th by outraged residents of East L.A. who recognized him from newspaper mug shots and gave chase when he was seen attempting to steal a vehicle in an effort to flee police.
Ramirez was found guilty on 13 counts of murder, five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries. He was sentenced to death in 1989, but died of lymphoma while on death row in San Quentin in 2013.
A trailer has gone online for Chloe Grace Moretz’s new WWII sci-fi period thriller Shadow in the Cloud. Moretz plays a hot gunner tasked with protecting her all-male B-17 bomber crew from Japanese enemy aircraft and…gremlin!
Moretz—who is now a guilt-free stroke-able starlet at 23—is coming of Neil Jordan’s (Interview with the Vampire) cougar/cub thriller Greta and Luca Guadagnino’s remake of Dario Argento’s Suspiria.
Moretz first gave horror and genre fans that oh-so-funny-feeling in films Kick-Ass, Let Me In, Dark Shadows, 2013’s Carrie remake, and her horror debut, the 2005 remake of The Amityville Horror.
