French actress Bérénice Marlohe stars in F/X guru Tim Smit’s directorial debut Kill Switch, a sci-fi thriller about an experiment for unlimited energy that goes wrong or some shit and finds a pilot trying to save his family and humanity from an imploding world or something.
It all sounds pretty convoluted, but Marlohe is a Bond girl – last seen meeting a tragic end as vengeful former sex slave Severine in Sam Mendes’ Skyfall – and that alone is worth the trouble. She’ll next make an appearance in an episode of David Lynch’s upcoming “Twin Peaks” revival.
Kill Switch hits selected theaters and VOD June 16.

The new trailer reveals what an obnoxious little girl Diana is before blossoming into the leggy do-gooder we’ve come to know and love as Wonder Woman. Seriously, the kid is a nightmare just begging for a good smack upside the head and no supper. It doesn’t help the child actor playing her blows donkey dicks.

Hounds of Love is the kind of stand-by-your-man romance story we just don’t see anymore — a love affair between a homicidal rapist and the co-dependent woman who helps him find his victims. Sure, it’s not healthy, but if you’re in a relationship, you know how difficult it can be to simply agree on dinner.

A new trailer has gone online for 47 Meters Down. The shark thriller is directed by Johannes Roberts (The Other Side of the Door) and stars pop-singer-turned-actress Mandy Moore (pictured above) and Claire Holt (”Aquarius”) as hot cage-diving sisters trapped undersea with great whites.
47 Meters Down finds Moore and Holt vacationing in Mexico off the coast of Huatulco on a cage-diving expedition to observe great white sharks. When cables snap, the cage sinks to the bottom of the ocean and the sisters have less than an hour of oxygen to get back to the surface in shark infested waters.
Moore, who’s starred in a string of romantic comedies and Disney fare, makes her horror debut with the film.
Holt jumped into horror in 2009’s Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. After a stint on teen soap “Pretty Little Liars,” she starred on NBC’s Charles Manson drama “Aquarius” and The CW’s “Vampire Diaries” and “The Originals.”
Whatever your stand on President Trump’s Mexican border wall, one thing is clear: put scream queen and rising Hollywood star Alexandra Daddario on the other side in a revealing, form-fitting swimsuit and we’ll tear that fucker down to get to her! Daddario posed for GQ Mexico last month and we just now set it down long enough to post about it.
Nothing, however, tops her heart-stopping nude debut as court transcriber and kinky side-piece Lisa Tragnetti on HBO’s acclaimed serial killer drama “True Detective.” Nonetheless, Daddario’s embracing of her hotness is exciting and will hopefully bring on more memorable roles.
Daddario is coming off quake thriller San Andreas. She made her horror debut in Mary Lambert’s (Pet Sematary)haunted house thriller The Attic and quickly won fright fans over with roles in gruesome indie-slasherBereavement and Lionsgate’s Texas Chainsaw reboot. She stars next in the big screen comedy adaptation of Baywatch.
