Last week, we debuted a couple of new images from new movie, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and now, Time (with a nod to our pals at BleedingCool) have released the first trailer for the movie. The film is directed by Timur Bekmambetov and stars Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jimmi Simpson, [...]
Here’s a couple of brand new and exclusive images from Twentieth Century Fox’s new movie, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter which sounds like something we’ve made up but I assure you we haven’t! The film is directed by the man who brought us Wanted, Timur Bekmambetov and stars Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth [...]
Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World) has signed on to topline horror-thriller In Darkness. Loosely based on Henry James’ The Turn of the Screw, In Darkness centers on an American student (Winstead) who starts to work for an English tutor, only to find out that she and the children she is looking after [...]
Abraham Lincoln, lawyer, statesman, president. He lived a long and varied life but until now little has been said of how throughout his illustrious life he moonlighted as a vampire hunter, taking out the supernatural trash while keeping a steady hand on the tiller of his numerous responsibilities. Seth Grahame-Smith’s follow up to his best-selling [...]
The second of Seth Grahame-Smith’s best-selling mash-up novels, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has found better traction on its path to the big screen than his earlier novel, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and is currently in post-production having filmed earlier this year. We got our first look at photos from the set back in April, [...]
The Thing hits UK cinemas today and if you missed it, you can catch our review of the prequel to the John Carpenter movie here. The movie stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eric Christian Olsen, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ulrich Thomsen, Kim Bubbs and our friends from Upbeat caught up with many of them at the [...]
John Carpenter may well be the master of horror filmmaking, but that’s not to say that someone else can’t tackle his esteemed previous work. In fact, Dutch filmmaker Matthijs van Heijningen Jr’s 2011 version of The Thing could be argued as a brave career choice, considering the 1982 film’s cult following. Not to be confused [...]
The Coppola family and their relations are some of the most well-known people working in Hollywood. Francis Ford Coppola, five-time Academy Award winner, is of course well-known for bringing us The Godfather and Apocalypse Now. His daughter, Sofia Coppola, won an Oscar for her 2003 film, Lost In Translation. And recently his son, Roman Coppola, [...]
Many remain ambivalent regarding the news of another Die Hard entry being officially greenlit. I have sincerely got nothing but love for the franchise and although I think Die Hard 4.0 / Live Free or Die Hard suffered from being artificially squeezed into a more “friendly” rating/certificate, it was still a welcome and commendable addition [...]
Yes it’s the same as the Russian version that we put up a week or two ago but it IS different as it has English writing of The Thing! Here’s the UK poster. If you missed the new featurette that I put up yesterday, you should check that one out too and it’s a good’n. [...]
This morning has been full to the brim of new UK exclusives with a new Tintin trailer, the new Wuthering Heights poster and now Universal Studios have released this great new featurette from their movie, The Thing. In the featurette, we get to find out exactly how the new prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 movie, [...]
I really don’t know what to make of The Thing. It’s a prequel with the same name as the film it is supposed to precede, John Carpenter’s sci-fi/horror classic casts a loooong shadow, yet the trailers and clips so far look pretty effective and the creature effects in particular leave me cautiously optimistic. Certainly what [...]
Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who really made a name for herself playing Ramona Flowers last summer in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, and Aaron Paul, Emmy Award-winner for TV’s Breaking Bad, have both in negotiations to lead the indie dramedy, Smashed, Variety report. The film will be made at the excellently named Super Crispy Entertainment, who [...]
Although I’m tempted to say that John Carpenter’s The Thing needs a prequel like a hole in the head, the upcoming prequel (due to reach us in the UK in December, but washing up in the US in mid-October) is actually looking pretty good from what we have seen so far. The Thing 2011 will [...]
Liking this a lot!! Here’s the brand new red band (seriously freaky) trailer for the brand new movie, The Thing which is a prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 version which starred Kurt Russell. The 2011 movie is directed by Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. and stars Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Eric Christian Olsen, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, [...]
That’s a terrible pun and I’m actually genuinely sorry. But hey – it’s gets better because we’ve finally got a clip from the prequel to The Thing, called The Thing. Following the creepy as heck poster and a trailer which did a good job of teasing Matthijs van Heijningen Jr’s film and this new clip [...]
Apparently the UK is going to have a longer wait for Matthijs van Heijningen’s prequel to The Thing, which is also called The Thing, as a new release date has been announced of the 2nd of December 2011. The film’s Facebook page served up the bad news but did offer us a few images of the [...]
In fine marketing tradition a few days ago we had the first poster for the prequel to The Thing, confusedly called The Thing, and now there’s the first trailer for Matthijs van Heijningen Jr directed film. It is the same as the leaked trailer which found its way onto the internet last year and it’s [...]
UPDATE BELOW We’ve not heard that much about the forthcoming prequel to The Thing, the Matthijs van Heijningen Jr directed The Thing (more on this later…), but here’s what purports to be the first poster for the film. AICN posted the image which isn’t the best quality but it’s an appropriately stark effort nonetheless. The [...]
Now that the seemingly endless flurry of casting news seems to have died down, it’s time for shooting to begin on Timur Bekmambetov’s adaptation of Seth Grahame-Smith’s story and so it has. If you’ve been in a cave for the past few months, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter follows Abe’s efforts to rid the world of [...]
