Downtwon Abbey star, Lily James has found her glass slipper. Disney announced yesterday that the lucky actress has been chosen to play Cinderella in the upcoming rendition of the fairy tale we all know and love.
James will play Cinderella alongside Cate Blanchett, who will play her evil stepmother. The lead was originally intended for Emma Watson, who kindly backed down from the princess role.
The film does not have a set release date yet. Check back for more details.
Back in May 2012 we showed you the red band trailer for Elijah Wood’s upcoming serial killer film ‘MANIAC’. Now we have the first six minutes of the movie for you to enjoy and most likely scare the crap out of you. Especially since it’s filmed from the first-person perspective of the serial killer. Eek!
The film is directed by Franck Khalfoun and also stars America Olivo, Nora Arnezeder, Liane Balaban, Morgane Slemp, Sammi Rotibi, Sal Landi, & Genevieve Alexandra.
Synopsis:
“Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
A 21st century Jack the Ripper set in present-day LA, MANIAC is a re-boot of the cult film considered by many to be the most suspenseful slasher movie ever made – an intimate, visually daring, psychologically complex and profoundly horrific trip into the downward spiralling nightmare of a killer and his victims.”
Here’s the opening scene…
Set to be released sometime in 2013, this movie is a remake of Bill Lustig’s original 80′s slasher flick ‘MANIAC‘, which we have available for you to watch instantly right here!
Bravo is bringing back the 80s cult classic film “Heathers”, but this time it’s coming to the small screen in a new scripted series!
The original film starred Christian Slater as the rebellious transfer student J.D. and Winona Ryder as Veronica Sawyer. Veronica and the evil Heather Chandler (Kim Walker), the brainy bulimic Heather Duke (Shannen Doherty), and the gullible cheerleader Heather McNamara (Lisanne Falk) together formed the most popular group of girls at Westerburg High School.
This time the TV version of “Heathers” will take place in the present day. They’ll pick up 20 years after the movie left off when Veronica moves back to Sherwood with her teenage daughter, who enters high school to deal with the next generation of mean girls, the “Ashleys,” daughters of the surviving “Heathers.”
What do you think? Sound like a mistake to you?
Have you seen the official ‘Total Recall’ trailer yet? Len Wiseman directs the adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale”. This sci-fi thriller stars Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy.
Colin Farrell has some pretty big, Governator-sized shoes to fill as he takes on Arnold Schwarzenegger’s leading role in the remake of the 1990′s cult classic. If you’ve seen the original, then some elements will look familiar. Like Schwarzenegger’s character, Farrell will play a simple worker named Douglas Quaid with a possible spy alter ego going by Hauser.
The big question is will Farrell encounter a woman with three breasts just as his predecessor did in the original? If you HAVE to know, scroll to the end of this post for the answer.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Total Recall is an action thriller about reality and memory, inspired anew by the famous short story “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” by Philip K. Dick. Welcome to Rekall, the company that can turn your dreams into real memories. For a factory worker named Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell), even though he’s got a beautiful wife (Kate Beckinsale) whom he loves, the mind-trip sounds like the perfect vacation from his frustrating life – real memories of life as a super-spy might be just what he needs. But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man. Finding himself on the run from the police – controlled by Chancellor Cohaagen (Bryan Cranston) – there is no one Quaid can trust, except possibly a rebel fighter (Jessica Biel) working for the head of the underground resistance (Bill Nighy). The line between fantasy and reality gets blurred and the fate of his world hangs in the balance as Quaid discovers his true identity, his true love, and his true fate. The film is directed by Len Wiseman. The screenplay is by Kurt Wimmer and Mark Bomback and the screen story is by Ronald Shusett & Dan O’Bannon and Jon Povill. The producers are Neal H. Moritz and Toby Jaffe.
As for the three boobs… The answer is yes, just like in the Schwarzenegger movie (pictured here), Farrell’s soon-to-be-memory-challenged character will encounter a prostitute who bares her chest to tempt him with her mutant rack.
As if having Bill Lustig’s original 80′s slasher flick ‘MANIAC‘ in the BIGSTAR library wasn’t disturbing enough (see below to stream instantly), we thought it best to freak you out this fine Friday with the new red band trailer for the remake starring Elijah Wood. This NSFW first look at the thriller directed by Franck Khalfoun features nudity, bloody violence and the scalping of not just the dime-store mannequins, but real live women as well. Yikes.
Elijah Wood has obviously been trying to remove himself as far as possible from the Frodo stereotypes by playing such roles as Kevin, the cannibalistic serial killer in ‘Sin City,’ and now this sinister role as yet another cannibalistic madman.
The film also stars America Olivo, Nora Arnezeder, Liane Balaban, Morgane Slemp, Sammi Rotibi, Sal Landi, & Genevieve Alexandra.
Here’s the synopsis for Maniac followed by the red band trailer courtesy of Cannes Film Festival…
Just when the streets seemed safe, a serial killer with a fetish for scalps is back and on the hunt. Frank is the withdrawn owner of a mannequin store, but his life changes when young artist Anna appears asking for his help with her new exhibition. As their friendship develops and Frank’s obsession escalates, it becomes clear that she has unleashed a long-repressed compulsion to stalk and kill.
The original ‘MANIAC’ film was extremely controversial when it came out in the 80′s due mainly to its horrifically violent scenes. It’s wonderful to now see it being held in such high regard that mainstream Hollywood will go to great lengths to remake it. Click the movie poster to instantly watch this cult-classic slasher film!
