Pictured above is Weronika Rosati (Bullet to the Head) in the nude. She co-stars in the upcoming Nicholas Cage thriller USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. As the title suggests, the film is about men. Men stuck at sea. So, we can assume the film’s female cast won’t get much screen time. So enjoy that peek at Weronika!
So why post about a movie with a mostly male cast? Sharks! USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage tells the true story of the ill-fated NAVY warship sunk by a Japanese submarine torpedo in 1945 after delivering parts for the first atomic bomb to the United States. Approximately 900 survivors were left adrift.
Rescue came four days later, but nearly 600 crewmen were dead by then, victims of dehydration, exposure, salt water poisoning, and sharks! According to Discovery’s Shark Week, the tragedy resulted in the most shark attacks on humans ever, citing oceanic whitetips and tiger sharks as the culprits.
Nicolas Cage stars USS Indianapolis Captain Charles McVay, initially court-martialed for not zig-zagging out of harm’s way. The conviction was later overturned and McVay returned to duty. Sadly, a shitload of hate mail from families of the deceased led to his suicide at the age of 70. Even more sad, Mario Van Peebles is at the helm of this project.
Twentieth Century Fox has released a much too-short video profile for Olivia Munn’s Psylocke, the sexiest mutant to join its X-Men franchise. Munn briefly discusses the character’s purpose in Marvel’s upcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, but it’s the revealing purple costume that speaks volumes.
X-Men Apocalypse pits mutants of the goody-two-shoes variety up against a Magneto, Storm, some dude called Angel, and Psylocke, collectively known as the Four Horsemen of evil mutant god, Apocalypse – see what they did there?
Sony Pictures has released a new trailer for its upcoming shark thriller The Shallows. The film is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan) and stars Blake Lively (Age of Adaline) as a surfer stranded on a rock just a few feet from shore after being attacked by a great white.
The new trailer provides background into Lively’s character and two extremely exciting reveals: a Shark Week inspired Air Jaws attack on some poor sap and Lively’s revealing bikini bottom both at beginning and end! The goodness arrives June 29.
MGM and GK Films have found a new Lara Croft in Oscar winner Alicia Vikander. The Swedish stunner will play the iconic video game adventurer in the studios’ upcoming Tomb Raider reboot, directed by Roar Uthaug (Cold Prey) from a script by Evan Daugherty (Divergent) and Geneva Robertson (Transformers 5).
Based on Square Enix’s 2013 reboot of the Tomb Raider video game, the new adaptation finds Vikander as a young and inexperienced, small-breasted Croft on her first big adventure. The Croft role was famously played by Angelina Jolie for Paramount in 2001’s Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and 2003’s Cradle of Life sequel.
Vikander won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar this year for her role in The Danish Girl, but was actually seen by movie audiences in the sexy A.I. thriller Ex Machina. She also co-starred in the awesome, but overlooked, Man From U.N.C.L.E. remake and The Seventh Son. She’ll be seen this summer in Jason Bourne.
Twentieth Century Fox has released a final trailer for Marvel’s X-Men: Apocalypse, arriving in theaters May 27. Bryan Singer is back at the helm with James McAvoy (Professor X), Michael Fassbender (Magneto), and Jennifer Lawrence (Mystique) reprising their roles.
Oscar Isaac joins the cast as merciless mutant god Apocalypse and is joined by Alexandra Shipp as Storm, Ben Hardy as Angel, and sexy geek goddess Olivia Munn as scantly clad baddie Psylocke. A lot of shit gets destroyed in the clip and there are many mutants to peep, including a temperamental old friend.
Strangers writer and director Bryan Bertino is set to scare the shit out of us with his new creature-feature There Are Monsters, slated for release later this year from A24. While it’s not the eagerly awaited Strangers 2 sequel, There Are Monsters pits two emotionally estranged people up against an evil force.
Zoe Kazan (“Bored to Death”) stars in the film as a young single mom trying to protect her 10-year-old daughter from the ravenous and mysterious beasts hunting them down in a black forest. Making matters worse is the little girl’s lack of faith in her fucked up mother’s abilities.
Kazan is coming off the political drama Our Brand Is Chaos and has starred in such notable dramatic fare as Revolutionary Road and The Private Lives of Pippa Lee and the Anthony Hopkins led crime thriller Fracture.
Twentieth Century Fox has released a new trailer for Roland Emmerich’s Independence Day: Resurgence, a sequel to the master of disaster’s epic 1996 alien invasion classic. Set 20 years after the events of the first film, ID4: Resurgence once again finds earth on the brink of extinction as a new wave of aliens attacks.
Our heroes include Sela Ward as acting U.S. President Lanford, Liam Hemsworth as not Will Smith, Bill Pullman as U.S. President Whitmore, Maika Monroe as Whitmore’s hot daughter, Jeff Goldblum as tech wizard David Levinson, Judd Hirsch as Dave’s dad, and Vivica A. Fox as ex-stripper Jasmine.
IFC Midnight has released a trailer for Sacrifice, a cult-thriller from Flightplan writer and Stag Night director Peter A. Dowling. Based on the novel by S.J. Bolton, the film finds Mitchell playing an obstetrician who discovers buried under her new home the mutilated body of a woman slaughtered shortly after giving birth.
Sacrificial. Satanic. Ritualistic. These are words some characters in the movie don’t want to hear but they grab our interest! Granted we’d watch Mitchell pick her nose for 90-minutes. Sacrifice arrives in limited release and VOD April 29.
Warner Bros. has released a second trailer for David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, an adaptation of the DC Comic about a group of super-villains brought together by a government agency for a suicide mission. Yeah, we’re late to post, but how can you not stop your life and watch Margot Robbie for a week?
Robbie as Harley Quinn steals the trailer as she will the movie, but it’s also fun to see Jared Leto’s turn as the Joker in the wake of Heath Ledger’s Oscar-winning performance as the notorious villain and Jay Hernandez (Hostel) as gang-banger-turned-fire-starter El Diablo.
HBO has released a new trailer for season six of its Emmy award-winning fantasy series “Game of Thrones,” premiering April 24. The new clip is more than two minutes long and provides an even more thrilling and nerve-racking glimpse at what’s coming, which appears to be… the dead.
Also exciting is what promises to be some sweet and brutal revenge on that holy ass-hat the High Sparrow by Cersei Lannister, her brother and lover Jaime, and a reanimated Mountain! There’s also Daenerys Targaryen captured by the Dothraki, a redeemed but blind Arya, a scene-stealing Tyrion, and, and…
