Someone has decided to do a mashup of two of the biggest sequels of the year and the results are pretty outstanding. Avengers: Endgame recently hit home video and IT Chapter Two is set to arrive in theaters next month. Other than being highly-anticipated follow-ups, the movies, on paper, are radically different. However, this remixed trailer shows that Avengers: Endgame could have been rather convincingly marketed as a horror movie, had Marvel chose to go that route.
The trailer kicks off with the gang in disarray following their first encounter with Thanos, who essentially is turned into Pennywise for the sake of presenting the narrative in this way. We then move onto getting the Avengers back together, which is sort of like The Losers Club re-assembling all those years later in IT Chapter Two. Once it gets to the meat of things, it's much less about action and it's more about overcoming fear in having to try and stop the Mad Titan once and for all.
What's amazing is how much actual, horrific tension is built into the trailer as presented. The video utilizes quite a bit of the score from IT, which gives it a very different feel, to be sure. To present Avengers: Endgame as a horror sequel, a lot of footage that wasn't unveiled until the movie hit theaters was also utilized, and it's hard to imagine pulling this off without it. But now that the sequel is available for everyone to watch over and over again from the comfort of their couch, we're sure to get more interesting takes on the material in the days and weeks to come.
Avengers: Endgame was burdened with great expectations ahead of its release earlier this year, much like IT Chapter Two has now as horror fans await the conclusion of the Stephen King adaptation. For the former movie, things worked out about as good as anyone could have possibly hoped for. Directors Joe Russo and Anthony Russo delivered a sequel to infinity War that managed to satisfy both critics and fans alike, while also finding an unprecedented amount of commercial success, to the tune of $2.79 billion worldwide. That makes it the highest-grossing movie of all time, overtaking James Cameron's Avatar.
On that note, the first IT was a massive critical success that wound up grossing $700 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing horror movie of all time. That has placed tremendous pressure on returning director Andy Muschietti to deliver a satisfying conclusion to his epic tale in IT Chapter Two, which arrives in theaters on September 6. Maybe once that movie comes out someone can do a remixed trailer, making it look like The Losers Club and Pennywise are getting ready to mix it up Avengers: Endgame style? Be sure to check out the trailer for yourself from the Groot Studios YouTube channel below.
We have a brand new, international trailer for Zombieland Double Tap. This is one of the most highly-anticipated movies of the fall season and its release is creeping up fast. So far, we've seen just the one, main trailer, which was released by Sony last month, in addition to a couple of posters. Bearing that in mind, any additional footage at this point is valuable. While there's not a ton to speak of, this latest trailer does bring with it just enough new, not-spoilery footage to make it worth watching.
This trailer is a bit more lean than the main trailer. It skips the dramatic bit at the beginning in favor of jumping right to the action and carnage. It also shifts around a lot of the previous footage in a different order, while losing some of the extended bits. However, there are a few, slightly different shots. The main attraction here is an entirely new bit involving a new character by the name of Madison, played by Zoey Deutch, daughter of 80s icon and Back to the Future star Lea Thompson. Madison, at least on first glance, doesn't appear to be the brightest bulb in the bunch. It makes one question how someone like her survived all this time, which will surely be addressed within the sequel's runtime.
The entire core cast from the original is returning, including Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin. New cast members joining in on the action include Rosario Dawson, Zoey Deutch, Luke Wilson and Thomas Middleditch. As we saw in the first trailer, there's going to be a bit involving doppelgangers. We've seen the ones for Columbus and Tallahassee, yet it begs the question, who did they get to double Wichita and Little Rock? Who could pass for Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin? That could prove to be a fun reveal come opening weekend.
While it still feels like there is a lot about the movie we don't know, that plot will see the original gang of four, Tallahassee, Wichita, Little Rock and Columbus, making their way to the White House and through the heartland of America. They must face off against various new varieties of zombies that have evolved in the decade since the events of the first installment, as well as some new human survivors, while also having to face the growing pains that come with their snarky, makeshift family.
Ruben Fleischer (Venom) is returning to the director's chair after having helmed the original. Original writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (Deadpool) also returned to pen the screenplay, with an assist from Dave Callaham (The Expendables). So the entire creative team that helped make the first movie a success is back. It took a very long time to get this sequel made, but will it be worth the wait? We'll know soon enough, as Zombieland: Double Tap is set to arrive in theaters on October 18 from Sony Pictures. Be sure to check out the new international trailer for yourself.
6 Hot Chicks in a Warehouse is perhaps one of the best titles heard in awhile, and it perfectly sums up the thrilling experience you are about to have while watching the first trailer for this good old fashion exploitation flick coming our way this September.
6 Hot Chicks in a Warehouse arrives from director Simon Edwards (Blaze of Glory). Shot partially in Norfolk, the film pits several attractive models against each other, for the pleasure of a demented photographer.

Indican Pictures will release this exciting thriller this September, on home entertainment formats.
6 Hot Chicks in a Warehouse is a tale of revenge. Photographer Adrian (Oliver Malam) has been humiliated by many of the female models he has worked with. Now, he has invited some of them to his studio, for one last photoshoot. But, this is not an ordinary shoot as Adrian has concocted a plan, which forces the ladies to fight against each other, behind wire fencing. Adrian's strategy does not go as expected, however.
Indican Pictures has slated September 3rd as the film's DVD launch. Pre-orders are available this August 6th. The film has been rated Restricted. And, with a runtime of 93 minutes, 6 Hot Chicks in a Warehouse promises lots of brutal action and gore as one man's sick fantasy for revenge turns into a bloody, all-female fighting tournament!

Only both Adrian and the other models are in for a surprise.

Quiver Distribution dropped the trailer for the Nicolas Cage-led thriller Running with the Devil today. The National Treasure actor stars alongside the Matrix's Laurence Fishburne in the drug trafficking flick where, "From the fields to the streets, everyone is running with the devil."
When a cocaine shipment is compromised, the drug cartel's CEO, known as The Boss (Crawl's Barry Pepper) orders his most trusted henchman, Cage's The Cook, to audit the company's supply chain. Or as Nicolas Cage says in the trailer, he has "administrative issues [he has] to attend to." Joining him on the dangerous journey is a master drug trafficker known as The Man (Academy Award Nominee Laurence Fishburne).
The drugs are making their "perilous trek across international borders past gangsters, refiners, and couriers," but they're also being tracked by Federal Agents under The Agent in Charge played by Leslie Bibb (Iron Man) who, the trailer tells us, doubles the task force. Unfortunately, by the time The Cook realizes where the drug network is breaking down, it may be too late. He might not be able to keep the cartel and The Boss satisfied.
The film is written and directed by Jason Cabell. This will be his first solo directorial project and the second film he has penned. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cabell, a former Navy SEAL, pulled from his real-life experiences to create the film. He reportedly served in more than 100 countries, including a stint in which he worked closely with the DEA in Colombia.
Running With the Devil is produced by Patriot Pictures' Michael Mendelsohn alongside Jim Steele (Vengeance: A Love Story and USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage). Mike Nilon, Etchie Stroh and Natalie Perrotta are executive producing. The film stars Nicolas Cage as The Cook, Cole Hauser as The Executioner, Clifton Collins Jr. as The Farmer, Laurence Fishburne as The Man, Leslie Bibb as The Agent in Charge, Barry Pepper as The Boss, Peter Facinelli as Number One, Adam Goldberg as The Snitch, Natalia Reyes as The Woman, Sarah Minnich as The Wife, and Tait Fletcher as The Collector.
Nicolas Cage has amassed a filmography of more than 100 films that range anywhere from romantic or family comedies like Moonstruck and The Family Man, cult classics like Face/Off and Gone in 60 Seconds, despised films like The Wicker Man and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and largely unseen movies like Pay the Ghost and Dying of the Light.
He's found moderate success in a couple of his recent projects, however. He lended his voice for a small role in the hugely successful, both critically and financially, Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. Cage played the noir version of Spider-Man in the uniquely animated film. His recent trek into surrealism and violence found solid reviews. Mandy follows a couple who find tragedy during a run-in with a hippie cult and demon-biker henchmen in a secluded forest. In other words, we don't know what to expect from a Cage film these days, but the new trailer has us curious.
Running With the Devil hits theaters on September 20. The trailer comes direct from Quiver Distribution.
Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Wonder Woman: Bloodlines. This is the latest in what DC has dubbed simply the DC Universe Movies, but it comes from a much longer line of animated DC Comics adaptations that, on the whole, have been embraced in a big way by fans. Where some of the live-action movies have left something to be desired in the eyes of many, these animated offerings tend to please and this looks to be no exception, as we've got a big, slick spectacle on the way.
The trailer kicks off with the familiar origin story for Diana Prince, who decides to become a hero to the human race after saving a man named Steve Trevor. Beyond that, the footage we see here is loaded down with action. We see Wonder Woman duking it out with the likes of Giganta, amongst many other foes. Things eventually shift back to her island home of Themyscira, before reaching the epic, explosion-filled conclusion. Overall, this looks like yet another winner for the animated corner of the DC Universe.
The voice cast is led by Rosario Dawson as Wonder Woman. The ensemble also includes Jeffrey Donovan as Steve Trevor, Marie Avgeropoulos as Silver Swan, Adrienne C. Moore as Etta Candy, Kimberly Brooks as The Cheetah/Giganta, Courtenay Taylor as Dr. Poison, Constance Zimmer as Veronica Cale, Nia Vardalos as Julia Kapatelis, Michael Dorn as Ferdinand, Cree Summer as Hippolyta, Mozhan Marno as Dr. Cyber and Ray Chase as Lead Bandit. Justin Copeland (Batman: Hush) and Sam Liu (Justice League vs the Fatal Five) serve as co-directors.
Wonder Woman: Bloodlines centers on Amazon princess Diana. While living on her island home of Themyscira, she decides to rescue fighter pilot Steve Trevor and return him to his home in America. This sets in motion one of Wonder Woman's most captivating chapters. Diana serves as both ambassador as well as protector and quickly earns the name Wonder Woman from the people of Earth. Equally strong in body, heart and will, she takes it upon herself to help a troubled young girl who has been taken in by the deadly organization Villainy, Inc., whose members, all of whom are criminals, have their sights set on invading Diana's home Themyscira.
This should, at the very least, help to fill the void until Gal Gadot returns as the beloved DC hero next year in Wonder Woman 1984. The live-action sequel also sees Patty Jenkins returning to the director's chair and will take the action to the 80s during the Cold War. With any luck, we'll be getting a teaser trailer before year's end. While no official release date has been announced as of this writing, it's expected that Wonder Woman: Bloodlines will arrive this fall on Digital HD, Blu-ray/DVD and 4K Ultra HD. Be sure to check out the new trailer for yourself, which was first revealed by IGN.
The Addams Family trailer is here and it puts the focus on the eccentric kooky family's latest adventure. We're about to see one of America's favorite clans as they move to New Jersey and into today's modern world. The first full-length trailer finds the family out of place and out of step with avenger ordinary folk, so they have a bit to learn while teaching the people around them about accepting differences at the same time. All of the family's charm from the original TV show is on full display, but with a modern twist.
The first family of Halloween, The Addams Family, is back on the big screen in the first animated comedy about the kookiest family on the block. Funny, outlandish, and completely iconic, The Addams Family redefines what it means to be a good neighbor. The animated movie stars Oscar Isaac, Charlize Theron, Chloe Grace Moretz, Finn Wolfhard, Nick Kroll, Snoop Dogg as Cousin IT, with Bette Midler and Allison Janney. The movie also stars Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Tituss Burgess, Jenifer Lewis, Elsie Fisher, and Aimee Garcia.
The Addams Family trailer begins with a bat flying into the family's house as Morticia opens the window with an ominous view. "What a lovely morning!" she declares, which is a truly Addams thing to say. From there on out, we see some familiar faces, along with some new ones and even the debut of Snoop Dogg's Cousin IT at the very end. Speaking of IT, there's also a Pennywise the Dancing Clown reference as Wednesday walks in the house with a red balloon. Apparently even the Addams family aren't into creepy clowns.
The Addams Family is a satirical inversion of the ideal American family; an eccentric, wealthy clan who delight in the macabre and are unaware that people find them bizarre or frightening. They originally appeared as an unrelated group of 150 single panel cartoons by Charles Addams, about half of which were originally published in The New Yorker between debuting in 1938 and Addams' 1988 death. They have since been adapted to other media, including the well-known television series, a series of live-action movies, video games, and most recently a Broadway musical.
Sausage Party directors Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan are at the helm of The Addams Family animated movie from a script by Matt Lieberman, which is based on Charles Addams' iconic cartoon series. Vernon and Tiernan also serve as producers along with Alex Schwartz. The project is executive produced by Andrew Mittman, Kevin Miserocchi, and Joe Earley. Expectations and excitement are high to see The Addams Family on the big screen again, so it will be interesting to see how today's younger audience reacts to the legendary family and their creepy and kooky ways. The movie doesn't hit theaters until October 11th, but you can check out the trailer below, thanks to the MGM YouTube channel.
A brand new Korean TV trailer for IT Chapter Two has surfaced online. We're about a month out from round two with Pennywise and The Losers Club, which means we're going to be bombarded with TV spots, images, interviews and everything in between. While not every shred of that information is going to be worth covering, this particular bit of footage has some merit to it, as it teases a faithful adaptation of one of the most insane scenes from Stephen King's original novel.
The teaser takes a lot of the footage we've seen in the previous two trailers and reorganizes it into a thrilling, concise and creepy 30-second tease of what's to come. There are brief blink-and-you'll-miss-it new moments in there. The most significant of these moments has to do with the character of Richie, who has an encounter with a large Paul Bunyan statue. The statue itself has been teased in prior trailers. Here though, in a brief shot, we see the statue attacking Richie. This is pulled right from the book as, at one point, Pennywise takes the form of the statue and attacks Richie. We see a very short moment of this as the statue crashes down onto a park bench, with Richie narrowly escaping.
It had been hinted at previously by both director Andy Muschietti and writer Gary Dauberman that this movie was going to contain some faithful, strange, and in some cases potentially upsetting, scenes from the book. We know that the Ritual of Chud is going to be brought to the screen in some form, and that Xavier Dolan will be playing Adrian Mellon, a particularly noteworthy character from the novel who is a gay man that falls victim to a violent hate crime. So, the fact that this Paul Bunyan bit is being included isn't terribly surprising, though it is rather amazing to see.
While Chapter One focused entirely on The Losers Club as kids, the sequel will be utilizing the young cast as well as adult actors who are portraying the group 27 years after the events of the first movie. The actors tasked with bringing the adult Losers to life include James McAvoy (Bill Denbrough), Jessica Chastain (Beverly Marsh), Bill Hader (Richie Tozier), Isaiah Mustafa (Mike Hanlon), Jay Ryan (Ben Hanscom), James Ransone (Eddie Kaspbrak) and Andy Bean (Stanley Uris). Bill Skarsgard, rather importantly, is also returning as Pennywise.
IT went on to become an unexpectedly huge success, grossing $700 million worldwide, which was enough to make it the highest-grossing horror movie of all time. As such, the filmmakers have been allowed to take some chances and bring some bold sequences to the screen. And we'll have plenty of time to witness all of the bloody happenings, as the movie clocks in at 2 hours and 45 minutes. Warner Bros. is set to release IT Chapter Two in theaters on September 6. Be sure to check out the new Korean TV spot for yourself.
CBS Films and Entertainment One (eOne) announced today that Guillermo del Toro's Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark will feature a re-recorded version of Donovan's 1966 hit song "Season of the Witch" by Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Lana Del Rey. The song's debut will coincide with the film's theatrical release by Lionsgate on August 9th.
"I have admired Lana's music for a while now and felt in my gut that she would run with 'Season of the Witch' - that she would use her alchemy to transform it," said del Toro. "She is a great artist and has been an amazing partner with us in this adventure. It is an honor for me to have met her."
"Season of the Witch" was written by Donovan and Shawn Phillips, and first released in September of 1966 on Donovan's album, Sunshine Superman.
Set in 1968, two years after "Season of the Witch" was released, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark takes place in the small town of Mill Valley where for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. It is in their mansion on the edge of town that Sarah, a young girl with horrible secrets, turned her tortured life into a series of scary stories, written in a book that has transcended time-stories that have a way of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who discover Sarah's terrifying home.
Tomorrow, August 6th, Lana Del Rey will join Guillermo del Toro to honor him at his Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard.
Lana Del Rey has been noted by critics for its stylized cinematic quality, glamour, melancholia and its references to 1950s and 1960s Americana. Her debut album, "Born to Die", was released in January 2012 and charted at number one on the official UK Album Chart, peaked number two on the US charts and was the fifth best-selling album of 2012. Her extended play "Paradise" followed that November, garnering her first Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album. "Ultraviolence" (2014), her third studio album, became her first album to reach number one in the US. In 2015, she released her fourth studio album, "Honeymoon". Both albums received positive critical response.
Lana's fifth studio album, "Lust for Life," was released in 2017. The album received critical acclaim, and became her second album to reach No. 1 in the United States, while also reaching the top ten in almost every other country it charted in. The album was also nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2018 Grammys. Lana's sixth studio album is set to drop August 30th. The highly anticipated album was mainly produced and co-written with Jack Antonoff and will include "Venice Bitch," "Mariners Apartment Complex," "hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it," and the cover of Sublime's "Doin' Time".
The 47 Meters Down: Uncaged final trailer has arrived and it will leave you gasping for air. While the first installment was a tough movie to make, director Johannes Roberts decided to step things up for the sequel and things look like they were a lot harder to shoot this time around. The sequel finds four young women having fun and diving in underwater caves, which is a whole other fear for some viewers, but things go haywire from there.
2017's 47 Meters Down was a box office success, earning $61 million off of a $5 million budget, so a sequel was inevitable. The 47 Meters Down: Uncaged final trailer gives hints of the story while teasing that not all four of the women will make it out of this one alive. There are hungry sharks everywhere and we are seeing something that makes the first installment look tame, which is hard to do. The lost underwater city is creepy enough on its own, but throwing in some hungry sharks and a maze goes a long way in revving up the survival horror aspect.
Many are wondering if 47 Meters Down: Uncaged will be able to live up to its predecessor and that remains to be seen. However, if the trailer is any indication, Johannes Roberts is on the right track. Principal photography for the sequel took place in the Dominican Republic, Pinewood Studios, Dominican Republic, The Underwater Studio in Basildon, and Pinewood Studios, UK, from December 2018 to February 2019. Hopefully there will be some behind-the-scene featurettes when the movie is released digitally to see how they built the underwater caverns.
Netflix has dropped the first trailer for their upcoming Sextuplets movie. Marlon Wayans stars and plays six characters in the comedy. Playing multiple characters in a comedy is not a new idea, but Wayans seems to be putting his own spin on things, though there have immediately been the inevitable comparisons to Eddie Murphy's roles in Coming to America and the Nutty Professor franchise. Mike Myers also did the same thing in the Austin Powers franchise.
Sextuplets features Marlon Wayans' character Alan as he and his wife are expecting their first child. Before the baby comes, Alan is intent on finding his birth mother and while doing research, he meets his brother, Russell, and discovers that he was born a sextuplet. From there, the duo seek to find the four other siblings (all played by Wayans, like Eddie Murphy's Klumps). Things unfold rather quickly in the trailer as we're introduced to all of Alan's siblings and everything goes off the rails. There's talk of organ transplants, drugs, and a lot of physical comedy.
The Alan character is the only one that really looks like Marlon Wayans. There's no makeup or CGI effects to drastically change his appearance. Russell is heavy set and seems to be a bit on the nervous side, though he likes to sleep in the nude. Ethan, who also doesn't have a tone of makeup or effects, is the sibling who is good at sniffing out money and can figure out where you buy your groceries. Baby Pete finds Marlon Wayans using some CGI to shrink his body down and that character is in the hospital in need of a kidney transplant.
Netflix original comedy Sextuplets also features two more of Alan's siblings. We get a hint of Jaspar, but he's not really given too much spotlight in the trailer. He's apparently the intellectual one of the family. And last but not least, we have Dawn, an exotic dancer who was just recently released from prison and likes to use party drugs. Marlon Wayans' style of comedy is all over the trailer and one can easily see his fans enjoying just about everything about it, from the bizarre characters in makeup to the physical comedy aspects.
Marlon Wayans produces Sextuplets with his White Chicks and Naked producer Rick Alvarez, along with Nathan Reimann. Michael Tiddes, who directed Wayans in A Haunted House and Naked is behind the camera again. The comedy marks the fifth time that Tiddes and Wayans have collaborated together as director and actor, their previous credits include the aforementioned movies with A Haunted Houses 2 and Fifty Shades of Black. Sextuplets is all set to premiere August 16th, exclusively on Netflix. While we wait a few more weeks for the movie to premiere, you can check out the trailer below, thanks to the Netflix YouTube channel. As for White Chicks 2, we'll just have to keep waiting for now.
The Paramount Network has released the trailer for the documentary I Am Patrick Swayze, which takes a look at the life and legacy of the legendary actor. As a part of the network's I Am documentary series, the TV special enlists many of Swayze's most notable Hollywood colleagues to share their thoughts and memories of working with him across many projects. This includes such names as Demi Moore, Rob Lowe, Sam Elliott, Jennifer Grey, C. Thomas Howell, Kelly Lynch, and Lori Petty.
One of Swayze's most well-known pairings was with Demi Moore for Ghost, and Moore remembers the type of guy Swayze was in the doc. "Patrick had something about him that was very rugged but that also had that beautiful, gentle, sensuous ability to move," Moore says in the trailer. Other co-stars speak about how charming and bubbly the actor always was on set, though as footage of Swayze himself speaking about it shows, the Dirty Dancing star was constantly dealing with his own "demons" as well. Still, the legacy the actor left behind is one that cannot be denied. "What Patrick accomplished in his life, very few people get to accomplish," The Outsiders co-star Rob Lowe states.
Starting his career in the late '70s, Patrick Swayze had become a household name within the span of just a few years. Movies like The Outsiders, Youngblood, and Red Dawn really helped to quickly launch his celebrity status, making him a popular actor and sex symbol by 1990. Some of his most memorable roles in the years since include parts in Point Break, Father Hood, and Donnie Darko. By 2008, Swayze was given the grim diagnosis of prostate cancer, though he continued working up until his death from the disease in 2009. His final roles would be for the movie Powder Blue and a recurring role in the TV series The Beast.
For his accomplishments in movies and television, Swayze has been granted many prestigious honors outside of the big screen. He was nominated for three Golden Globe Awards for his performances in Ghost, Dirty Dancing, and To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. Swayze did manage to win a Bravo Otto Best Actor award for Tiger Warsaw. For writing and recording the Dirty Dancing song "She's Like the Wind," Swayze was also posthumously awarded the Rolex Dance Award in 2009. The actor is also one of the most well-known honorees to be named People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive," which saw him take the honor in 1991.
I Am Patrick Swayze is the latest of the network's I Am documentary series, which has previously highlighted celebrities like Richard Pryor, Heath Ledger, and Sam Kinison. The Swayze doc will premiere at the San Antonio Film Festival on Aug. 2, and will make its TV debut on the Paramount Network on Aug. 18. Needless to say, this one is going to be a must-see movie for fans of the actor, who's still very much missed a decade after his death. You can see more from the series at ParamountNetwork.com.
The trailer for Fangoria's Satanic Panic has dropped. The movie finds a pizza delivery girl on a potential highway to hell as she ends up at a high class Satanist get together. From the looks of things, Fangoria is keeping on track with previous quality releases Puppet Master: The Littlest Reich and genre documentary Horror Noir. Chelsea Stardust directed Satanic Panic and the movie serves as her feature length directorial debut.
The Satanic Panic trailer from Fangoria begins with lead character Sam having a bit of a rough day at work. She delivers pizzas and really wasn't making any money from tips, though she does end up with a colorful sweatshirt that "smells like racism." The comedy element is evident right from the start and it only gets weirder and more outrageous as the trailer goes on. Fangoria just may have another horror comedy hit on their hands.
Satanic Panic focuses on Sam's aforementioned first day as a pizza delivery driver, which definitely does not go according to plan. At the end of a long day and not enough tips and making minimum wage, her last delivery turns out to be for a group of Satanists looking for a virgin to sacrifice. Now in a fight for her life, Sam must fend off witches, evil spells and demonic creatures, all while trying to keep her body, and soul, intact. While the story sounds a bit on the dark side, the laughs are coming in equal measure to the gore.
Satanic Panic was written by Grady Hendrix from a story he co-wrote with Ted Geoghegan. The movie was originally announced in 2015, but serious work didn't begin until 2018 when the cast was announced. The movie stars Hayley Griffith, Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O'Connell, Ruby Modine, and Arden Myrin and arrives on VOD, digital, and in theaters on September 6th. The movie had its world premiere at this year's Overlook Film Festival and those who were lucky enough to be in attendance have been heaping praise on it. Mark Ward, Chief Acquisitions Officer of RLJE Films had this to say about it.
"We could not be more excited to be releasing the instant classic, Satanic Panic. Chelsea Stardust is a filmmaker on the rise and we know audiences will line up to see this completely original and wild film from Fangoria."
Satanic Panic started production in October 2018 and wrapped in November, with Dallas, Texas set as the backdrop. Cinestate's Dallas Sonnier & Amanda Presmyk produced the movie for Fangoria with Aperture Entertainment's Adam Goldworm (Masters Of Horror). Fangoria's Phil Nobile Jr. and Adam Donaghey are the executive producers. Tate Steinsiek handled all of the gory special effects. We're only a month away from being able to see Satanic Panic, but you can check out the first trailer for the horror comedy below, thanks to the RLJE YouTube channel.
The first full-length trailer for Queen & Slim is finally here. The romantic drama comes to us from Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe and Melina Matsoukas, the visionary director of some of this generation's most powerful pop-culture experiences. The movie has been described as a "black Bonnie & Clyde" and according to Matsoukas, it's dedicated to "black people who have lost their lives to police brutality."
The trailer for Queen & Slim begins with an awkward Tinder date as Daniel Kaluuya's Slim meets Jodie Turner-Smith's Queen for the first time. However, things aren't what they seem and this mundane first date quickly turns into something much more and the intensity goes through the roof. From the start, the lines in the sand have been made, and it will be up to audiences to decide whose side they're on when the movie takes off.
Queen & Slim begins with a forgettable first date in Ohio (much like the trailer) between a black man (Get Out's Daniel Kaluuya) and a black woman (Jodie Turner-Smith). They are later pulled over for a minor traffic infraction and the situation escalates, with sudden and tragic results, when the man kills the police officer in self-defense. Terrified and in fear for their lives, the man, a retail employee, and the woman, a criminal defense lawyer, are forced to go on the run. But the incident is captured on video and goes viral, and the couple unwittingly become a symbol of trauma, terror, grief, and pain for people across the country.
As they drive on, the two unlikely fugitives discover themselves and each other in the most dire and desperate of circumstances, and they forge a deep and powerful love that will reveal their shared humanity and shape the rest of their lives. Joining a legacy of movies such as Bonnie and Clyde and Thelma & Louise, Queen & Slim has been described as a powerful, consciousness-raising love story that confronts the staggering human toll of racism and the life-shattering price of violence. The movie already has people talking and it doesn't even hit theaters until the end of November.
Melina Matsoukas has said she wanted to create a dialogue with Queen & Slim, "to have people talking about both sides." Matsoukas sites the work of Spike Lee and Julie Dash as inspiration behind the drama, which is evident even in the short trailer. Lena Waithe co-wrote the screenplay with A Million Little Pieces author James Frey and the story has already been praised by critics who have been lucky enough to see an advanced screening.
Lena Waithe produced Queen & Slim through her company, Hillman Grad Productions, along with Melina Matsoukas' De La Revolución Films. James Frey is also on board as a producer through his production company, 3BlackDot. The movie will hit theaters on November 27th and you can watch the trailer below, thanks to the Universal Pictures YouTube channel.
Altitude Films has dropped the trailer for Little Monsters. Lupita Nyong'o stars in the dark comedy as a teacher trying to protect children from a zombie apocalypse and the trailer proves that it will be a lot harder than it sounds. The Australian zombie comedy doesn't have a release date set for North America at this time, but one should be announced shortly. Little Monsters premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival.
Lupita Nyong'o stars as Miss Caroline, who is a bubbly kindergarten teacher. She brings her students to a petting zoo and all hell breaks loose as the zombies start eating the animals. The trailer, which is the Red Band trailer, shows Nyong'o trying to explain to the children that the zombies are just playing a weird game of tag before trying to get to safety. Josh Gad's Teddy McGiggle is an alcoholic TV personality who doesn't seem to care if Miss Caroline and all of the children end up getting turned into zombies.
After a rough breakup, directionless Dave (Alexander England) crashes at his sister's place and spends his days expanding his young nephew's questionable vocabulary. When an opportunity arises to chaperone an upcoming school excursion alongside the charming and enigmatic teacher Miss Caroline, Dave jumps at the chance to impress her. What he wasn't anticipating was Teddy McGiggle, an obnoxious children's television personality who shapes the excursion's activities. What he was expecting even less was a zombie invasion, which unfolds after an experiment at a nearby military base goes awry. Armed only with the resourcefulness of kindergartners, Dave, Miss Caroline, and Teddy must work together to keep the monsters at bay and carve a way out with their guts intact.
The zombies in Little Monsters are a result of a failed military experiment and they soon grow tired of eating the animals at the petting zoo. The zombie comedy has been described as an R-rated Pixar movie, and that may not be too far off. The trailer shows plenty of wholesome goodness with the kindergarten class, but it also has a ton of gore, which is a bit shocking after seeing young children at a petting zoo. One minute the cute animals are being observed and the next they are a graphic zombie feast.
Little Monsters, not to be confused with the 1989 movie of the same name starring Fred Savage and Howie Mandel, hits theaters in the United Kingdom on November 15th. Neon and Hulu acquired the domestic rights at the Sundance Film Festival, but no North American release date has been announced at this time. The Sundance premiere generated a lot of critical acclaim, so hopefully we'll get a release date in the next few weeks. In the meantime, you can check out the Red Band trailer for Little Monsters below, thanks to the Altitude Films YouTube channel.
Director Martin Scorsese's new movie The Irishman stars Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino and is all set to open the New York Film Festival before hitting theaters and then Netflix later this year. To say that the new gangster movie by Martin Scorcese is much-anticipated doesn't really do it justice. But all the same, today we have the teaser trailer for you to behold.
The Irishman is an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America told through the eyes of World War II veteran Frank Sheeran, a hustler and hitman who worked alongside some of the most notorious figures of the 20th century. Spanning decades, the film chronicles one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history, the disappearance of legendary union boss Jimmy Hoffa, and offers a monumental journey through the hidden corridors of organized crime: its inner workings, rivalries and connections to mainstream politics.
Fans of Martin Scorsese gangster movies from Goodfellas to Casino will notice that The Irishman keeps at the style and violence we've all come to expect from a Scorsese movie starring DeNiro. But one strange aspect is that the film looks to be keeping with the current trend of making old actors young again. Such as Samuel L. Jackson in Marvel's recent mega-hit Captain Marvel and Carrie Fischer's Princess Leia in the recent-ish Star Wars spin-off Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Usually, I find the method to be slightly creepy, and this trailer does nothing to change that. But that said, it looks to be handled with a better hand here than I've seen before. So that's good.
As you will see in a minute once you have the chance to check out the teaser trailer for yourself, this footage is mostly about the above-mentioned trio of Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Al Pacino. Which, you know, makes sense and everything considering this is a movie about their characters. I just wanted a better look at some of the other members of the killer cast including Bobby Cannavale (Ant-Man and the Wasp), Harvey Keitel (The Last Temptation of Christ), Ray Romano (yes, THAT Ray Romano), and Jesse Plemons (Breaking Bad, Fargo, Black Mirror). While this first teaser trailer leaves the rest of the cast in the shadows, we do get a pretty good look at Anna Paquin as Robert DeNiro's wife - even if she doesn't get to speak.
For those of you out there (like me) that might not know, Martin Scorses' The Irshman is based on a nonfiction book called I Heard You Paint Houses by a dude named Charles Brandt. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Exodus: Gods and Kings screenwriter Steven Zaillian penned the adaptation which Netflix paid a whopping $125 million to produce. The film tells the tale of the man responsible for the death of the legendary Jimmy Hoffa (played in this film by Al Pacino). That man is Frank Sheeran (played by DeNiro), and the hit is ordered by Pennsylvania mob boss Russell Bufalino (played by Joe Pesci).
As mentioned above, The Irishman will be hosting its World Premiere at the New York Film Festival on September 27, 2019. The film is then set to have a theatrical release later this year before it's officially unleashed to the masses over on Netflix by the end of this year. Meanwhile, this teaser trailer comes to us from Netflix over on YouTube.
Another San Diego Comic-Con has come to a close. 2019 was dominated by TV trailers, but the movie side of things was more interested in quality than quantity. And 2019 seems to be the year of the sequel. Easily, the biggest trailer of the weekend was the surprise release of the Top Gun 2: Maverick. Tom Cruise shocked fans who were lucky enough to be in attendance and delivered the first footage from the highly anticipated sequel. Jon Hamm was not messing around when hyping up the footage before it dropped on Thursday.
Andres Muschietti's IT Chapter Two was another trailer that brought the house down when it dropped early Thursday morning. If horror fans weren't already hyped to see the sequel, they certainly will be now as Pennywise continues his terror spree. On the opposite side of things, the Cats trailer was also released and it baffled a lot of people and caused quite the stir online. The hyper-realistic cat fur CGI is either amazing or horrifying, depending on your outlook. If you haven't seen it, consider yourself warned.
Kevin Smith was also able to catch fans off guard when he surprise released the Jay & Silent Bob Reboot trailer. The director was supposed to release the trailer on Saturday night during his Hall H panel, but he decided to release it early and fans were extremely excited to see what Smith has been hyping for the past year. The sequel may hold some type of record for the most celebrity cameos all in one place. Terminator: Dark Fate did not release a new trailer like everybody was hoping, but Tim Miller and crew did deliver an awesome behind-the-scene featurette which delivered some brand-new footage.
A second trailer for Brad Pitt's Ad Astra was also released and it looks like an epic intergalactic adventure with some deep twists and turns. Ghostbusters 2020 was expected to release at least a teaser, but Jason Reitman is more than likely too busy shooting the movie since production just started a few weeks ago. With that being said, the movie side of things was a lot smaller this year when compared to past Comic-Cons. However, we will probably end up with some surprises from Disney at the end of August when the D23 Expo.
San Diego Comic-Con 2019 really didn't have very many movie trailers. However, it had a ton of announcements, courtesy of Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige. The MCU's Phase 4 is going to dominate the box office for the next handful of years. If you missed out on any of the big Comic-Con movie trailers, you're in luck since we did all of the leg work and collected them all to put them in one convenient place. You can start by checking out the Top Gun 2: Maverick trailer below.
Tom Cruise dropped by Comic-Con to surprise release the Top Gun 2: Maverick trailer to a stunned audience. As it turns out, the audience at home was just as stunned and the trailer instantly became the biggest of the weekend. Cruise is back as Maverick and he's as defiant as ever.
New Line Cinema dropped our best look yet a Andres Muschietti's IT Chapter Two and kicked off Comic-Con in a terrifying way. The sequel looks ten times more frightening than the first installment and Pennywise is a lot angrier this time around. September 6th is going to be a big day for horror fans when the movie is finally released.
Kevin Smith decided to drop the trailer for Jay & Silent Bob Reboot a few days early and his fans were happy he did. The Reboot trailer was one of the biggest of the weekend and Smith knew it would be. The movie sees the director reunite with his old friend Ben Affleck after nearly a decade of not speaking to each other.
20th Century Fox released a new trailer for Ad Astra to kick things off at Comic-Con. The movie stars Brad Pitt as an astronaut who is about to discover something mysterious, which could affect the whole world. The journey will uncover secrets that challenge the nature of human existence and our place in the cosmos.
Shudder's Daniel Isn't Real trailer provides a terrifying look at the horror thriller. Patrick Schwarzenegger stars in the movie and he might have a very bright future ahead of him in the horror genre. The movie has been getting rave reviews for being pretty messed up.
While Top Gun 2: Maverick was the biggest Comic-Con trailer of the weekend, Cats was definitely, without question, the most controversial. People were not sure what to make of the human/cat hybrids and their realistic digital fur. Whatever the case may be, it elicited some very strong opinions and got some solid views.
Tim Miller and crew did not release a trailer for Terminator: Dark Fate, but they did deliver a behind-the-scenes featurette. The video contains a ton of previously unseen footage from the highly anticipated sequel and it everything has been amped up in a major way. Miller and James Cameron have created a monster and fans are hoping it will live up to the first two installments.
Chadwick Boseman reunited with the Russo Brothers to star in 21 Bridges. The Avengers: Endgame directors are producers on the project and they wanted to aim for the crime thrillers of the 1970s. When looking at the trailer, they have achieved their goal while Boseman looks like a pretty convincing NYPD officer.
The Sharknado franchise is over, but Syfy isn't done bringing absurd ideas to the small screen with Ian Ziering as the star. The Zombie Tidal Wave looks just as ridiculous and you can imagine, which should really say something after seeing a few Sharknado movies. This will definitely be some absurd fun.
In another surprise move, AMC released a brief teaser for The untitled Rick Grimes Walking Dead Movie. It doesn't show off any footage, but it lets us know that it's really on the way and that it will only be available to be seen in theaters. This was huge news for fans of the hit AMC series.
Playmobil: The Movie plans to see summer out the door with one last blast for kids and parents alike. Sure, Playmobil might not be as popular as LEGO in the States, but the iconic toys have been a worldwide phenomenon for over 40 years. And now, they are getting their first big screen adventure, with the animated adventure coming from STXFilms on August 30.
As the tagline states, 'The Size of Epic Adventure Not Shown Here!' Judging from the latest footage, this is going to be fun, excitement and thrills for all. This is STXFilms latest attempt at Animated Comedy Adventure after the bomb that was UglyDolls hit theaters earlier this year, coming as a big disappointment for the studios. Hopes are high that Playmobil doesn't suffer the same fate.
The animated adventure has collected quite the ensemble cast. Starring as the voices of the iconic Playmobil characters are Anya Taylor-Joy, Jim Gaffigan, Gabriel Bateman, Adam Lambert, Kenan Thompson, Meghan Trainor and Daniel Radcliffe. Lino Disalvo is directing from a script by Blaise Hemingway and Greg Erb & Jason Oremland, with a story in place that Lino wrote himself.
In Playmobil's animated action adventure, a top secret organization has caused citizens from different lands to vanish from thin air. The dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Daniel Radcliffe) must partner with smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Jim Gaffigan) and Marla (Anya Taylor-Joy) a smart, savvy civilian with her own secret agenda, to rescue them. Against unthinkable odds, the trio go on a fantastic journey across stunning new worlds as they gather clues for their rescue mission.
Playmobil are mostly known for their 'klicky' action figures and themed play sets. The toys first debuted in Germany in 1974 from the Brandstätter Group. The toys went worldwide, and 40 years later they are LEGO's main competition.
In his forties, Lino DiSalvo is making his directorial debut with Playmobil The Movie. He spent nearly 17 years at Disney, where he served as head of animation on Frozen, was a supervising animator on Tangled and Bolt, and an animator on Meet the Robinsons, Chicken Little, 102 Dalmatians and Reign of Fire.
Playmobil was originally supposed to hit theaters in 2017, but went through a number of changes on its way to the big screen. Now, it looks like all the pieces are in place for STXFIlms to have a modest sized hit on their hands.
A brand new trailer for Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark has arrived, which brings with it the full horrifying force of the Jangly Man. Guillermo del Toro is producing this long-awaited adaptation of the beloved series of children's horror books. The movie was part of the festivities at San Diego Comic-Con, where a new poster featuring the Jangly Man debuted, as well as some new footage, which has now made its way online. And it doesn't disappoint.
The trailer kicks off by setting up the premise. A woman from a small town had a book that is capable of bringing scary stories to life. Pretty simple, yet, as we see from this new footage, incredibly effective. The Jangly Man has been teased in previous footage but here, the horrific creation gets a chance to shine. We get brief glimpses at some of the other horrible stories that will come to life, but the bent out of shape, terrifying monster is given the spotlight here. Clearly, he's going to be the biggest bad of them all, which seems fair considering what is being presented here.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark serves as an adaptation of the book series by author Alvin Schwartz. His beloved trilogy includes Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark and Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones, which were initially published between 1981 and 1991. The books contain more than 25 horror stories combined. Many of the stories are based on real-life folklore and urban legends that were extensively researched by Schwartz. To date, the titles have sold more than seven million copies worldwide. This, even though that they were rather controversial and were even banned by many schools.
Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark centers on a small town named Mill Valley. There, for generations, the shadow of the Bellows family has loomed large. Specifically, the legacy of their daughter Sarah Bellows. In their mansion on the edge of town Sarah, a young girl with terrible secrets, turned her troubled life into a series of scary stories, which she wrote in a book that has managed to transcend time. These stories are capable of becoming all too real for a group of teenagers who unwittingly discover Sarah's terrifying secrets.
While Guillermo del Toro serves as a producer, it's Andre Ovredal (The Autopsy of Jane Doe) in the director's chair. The screenplay was written by Dan Hageman and, working from a story by Kevin Hageman Guillermo del Toro, Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan. Del Toro, Sean Daniel, Jason F. Brown, J. Miles Dale and Elizabeth Grave serve as producers. The cast includes Zoe Colletti, Michael Garza, Gabriel Rush, Austin Abrams, Dean Norris, Gil Bellows, Lorraine Toussaint, Austin Zajur and Natalie Ganzhorn. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark is set to arrive in theaters on August 9. Be sure to check out the new trailer from the CBS Films YouTube channel for yourself.
