April 30, 2010

'JONAH HEX' Movie Poster


Official plot synopsis: Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred drifter and bounty hunter of last resort, a tough and stoic gunslinger who can track down anyone…and anything. Having survived death, Jonah’s violent history is steeped in myth and legend, and has left him with one foot in the natural world and one on the “other side.” His only human connection is with Leila (Megan Fox), whose life in a brothel has left her with scars of her own. But Jonah’s past is about to catch up with him when the U.S. military makes him an offer he can’t refuse: in exchange for his freedom from the warrants on his head, he must track down and stop the dangerous terrorist Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is gathering an army and preparing to unleash Hell, is also Jonah’s oldest enemy and will stop at nothing until Jonah is dead. Based on the legendary graphic novel, “Jonah Hex” is an epic adventure thriller about one man’s personal quest for redemption against the vast canvas of the battle between good and evil.

Featuring an original soundtrack/score by MASTODON who were just announced yesterday to have teamed up with ALICE IN CHAINS and DEFTONES for a fall tour.

WES CRAVEN Confirms He’s “Signed On For The Duration” Of New SCREAM Trilogy In New Interview – New Teaser Poster Too

April 29, 2010

'SCREAM 4' Teaser Poster


Source: EW.com

SCREAM 4 director WES CRAVEN on how involved Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette are (reprising SCREAMS 1-3 characters; Sidney, Gale, and Dewey respectively) versus new characters:

“It’s a total integration of those three and new kids. The story of Sid, Gale, and Dewey is very much a part of the movie.”

On where Sidney has been for the past 10 years:

“She has been off by herself and living her own life, and she’s even written a book that has gotten a lot of critical acclaim. She’s kind of put her life back together in the course of these 10 years. But, certainly, there would be no Scream without Ghostface, so she has to confront him again, but now as a woman who has really come out the darkness of her past.”

EW.com: Should Scream 4 become a hit, you are signed on for Scream 5 and 6, right?

“Yeah, I’m signed on for the duration.”

Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures are moving ahead with a sequel to Clash of the Titans, which the studio would like as early as spring, 2012.

OREN MOVERMAN’s ‘RAMPART’: WOODY HARRELSON, BEN FOSTER, And ICE CUBE Will Star – Movie Based On Scandal Involving Corrupt LAPD Anti-Gang Program

April 29, 2010

'RAMPART' cast and crew: (from left to right) BEN FOSTER, director OREN MOVERMAN, and WOODY HARRELSON


Source: Variety, ComingSoon.net, Wikipedia.org

Ice Cube has joined Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster to star in Oren Moverman’s police drama “Rampart,” centered on the scandal at the LAPD’s division in the 1990s. [This] Project reunites Harrelson and Foster with Moverman, who directed them in “The Messenger,” his helming debut.

Harrelson’s set to portray the lead character, an LAPD officer on a redemptive journey as he finds himself embroiled in scandal. Ice Cube and Foster will also play LAPD officers.

The [Rampart] scandal grew out of severe police misconduct in the late 1990s in the Community Resources Against Street Hoodlums (CRASH) anti-gang program including unprovoked shootings, beatings, planting of evidence, framing of suspects, stealing and dealing narcotics, bank robbery, perjury and covering up evidence.

Read more HERE.

The Rampart Scandal is notable in popular culture because at least three Rampart police were found to be on the payroll of hip-hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight of Death Row Records, a convicted felon with known ties to the Bloods gang. Moreover, detective testimony and a wrongful death lawsuit filed on April 16, 2007, holds Rampart CRASH officers Nino Durden, Rafael Pérez and David Mack responsible for the 1997 drive-by murder of multi platinum-selling hip hop recording artist Notorious B.I.G.

Read more on the Rampart Scandal HERE.

The Rampart Scandal was also the inspiration behind the highly acclaimed F/X television series ‘THE SHIELD’ – what THRALL WORLD easily considers the greatest television series ever conceived. Don’t read about it lest you stumble on spoilers – just watch it from beginning to end. You’ll be trounced with the amazingness.

‘RING 3D’ Confirmed – Details

April 27, 2010

'RING 3D' confirmed: SAMARA returning in possible prequel or reboot


Source: HeatVisionBlog.com, IMDB

The third entry based on the Japanese horror movies is being called “Ring 3D.” David Loucka, who wrote the now-shooting thriller “Dream House” for Morgan Creek, has been tapped to pen the script.

IMDB plot synopsis: Set 30 years before the original, The Ring Three sees a young Samara Morgan cast away to a psychotic unit, thrust away from normality. Mentally unstable and in-animate, Samra vows to get revenge on her tormentors before she is tragically killed and dispersed down a well, however, unbeknown to her twisted parents and local pretty-girl Mary-Elizabeth Winstead, a curse is about to be born, a curse which will later claim many lives, as the vengeful spirit of Samara is born.

The new film is being fashioned as more teen-centric than the first, and though the logline is being kept under wraps, the aim is to reinvent the franchise. One potential scenario involves teens finding a VHS player that still works.

The plot of the original film centered on a young journalist investigating a mysterious videotape that seemed to cause the death of anyone within a week of viewing it.

Read more HERE.

Conflicting information on if the movie will be a prequel or a reboot. About one billionth of a chance Naomi Watts would return either way.

‘SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD’ Trailer Posted – Multi-Media And Theatrical Release Date Details

April 27, 2010

Still from 'SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD'


Source: ComingSoon.net

Written and directed by George Romero, ‘SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD’,

will be available on VOD, Xbox Live, PlayStation and Amazon this Friday, April 30th and in theaters on May 28th.

The latest chapter in the Zombie Apocalypse stars; Alan Van Sprang, Kenneth Welsh, Kathleen Munroe, Devon Bostick, Richard Fitzpatrick, Stefano Colacitti, and Athena Karkanis.

The film centers on a cozy Plum Island off the coast of Delaware where two families are locked in a struggle for power, as it has been for generations. The O’Flynn’s, headed by patriarch Patrick O’Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) approach the zombie plague with a shoot-to-kill attitude. The Muldoons, headed by Shamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick), feel that the zombies should be quarantined and kept ‘alive,’ in hopes that a solution will someday be found.

The O’Flynn’s, who are clearly outnumbered, are forced to exile Patrick by boat to the mainland, where he meets up with a band of soldiers, headed by Guardsman Sarge (Alan Van Sprang). They join forces and return to the island, to find that the zombie plague has fully gripped the divided community.
