Take a Peek at the Teaser Trailer and One Sheet for Upcoming Film Blessid

0
0

We all dig psychological thrillers so when word of a new one being produced comes down the pipe, we've got to share it with you. This one comes from the East Coast in the form of a film called Blessid.

Written and produced by Robert Heske and directed by Rob Fitz, Blessid stars David Fine, Rachel Kerbs, Gene Silvers, and Chris DiVecchio. Dig the teaser trailer and movie poster below, and be sure to look for Blessid updates as its release comes closer.

For more visit the official Blessid website, "like" Blessid on Facebook and follow Blessid on Twitter (@BlessidTheMovie).

From the Press Release
A violent, dark, funny, and − ultimately − inspirational story, Blessid is about a pregnant woman with a cursed past who forms a bond with a man who is immortal. Why does he appear at her most desperate hour? And what can she − a person who struggles to emotionally survive each day − learn from a man who has overcome life's greatest obstacle…time itself?

To bring the film to life, writer/executive producer Robert Heske (author of The Night Projectionist graphic novel) brought on New England-based makeup artist and horror effects savant Rob Fitz, who also wrote, directed, and produced God of Vampires – an Asian vampire horror/action film. Fitz made the film on a shoestring budget over the course of six years. Maintaining continuity was critical, but Fitz pulled it off. The film had a limited theatrical release, got picked up for DVD distribution, and received strong critic reviews. Dread Central called it "a fun, bloody action/horror hybrid that actually presented us with a different kind of bloodsucker for once."

Fitz is a veteran of the film industry, having worked on Boston-based features such as The Perfect Storm, The Fighter, The Grown Ups, and, most recently, R.I.P.D. "Features pay my rent; indies feed my passion. I like films that keep me turning the page, keep me guessing, and don’t disappoint at the end. When I read Blessid, I knew in my mind how I was going to make it and was thrilled to be given the opportunity to execute on my vision,” Fitz said.

Ultraman fans, rejoice! The Shout! Factory is giving us a true gift this holiday season by coming out with a box set that will have you stomping around like a Kaiju through a waiting-to-be-thrashed city! Read on for details!

From the Press Release
THE EARTH IS IN DANGER! Even now, fiendish hands are stretching out from the distant stars to seize the world…From their massive underground complex near Mt. Fuji, the Ultra Guard, an elite unit of the Terrestrial Defense Force, equipped with a squadron of Ultra Hawks, stands vigilant as our decisive first-line to combat the myriad of alien aggressors, who threaten the very existence of our planet. But, unbeknownst to his fellow teammates, Dan Moroboshi, is secretly an extraterrestrial aiding them in their fight to preserve the future of humanity — considered the “7th member” of the Ultra Guard — better known as “Ultra Seven!” On December 11, 2012, Shout! Factory will unleash the internationally renowned sci-fi, pop culture series Ultra Seven: The Complete Series Collector’s Edition in a collectible 6-DVD set. Boasting high camp entertainment and a special 24-page book with detailed essay by August Ragone, this complete series DVD set is priced to own with a suggested retail price of $ 49.97.

Produced by the creative team behind Ultraman, Ultra Seven is the third entry in the “Ultra Series,” and is arguably the best of the long-running franchise, with its emphasis on science fiction and themes touching on subjects ranging from the cruelty of war to social and racial injustices in the grand tradition of Star Trek and The Outer Limits.

Factory’s complete box set of Ultra Seven is a must-have!

Editors Note:
Episode 12 was banned from broadcast in Japan due to concerns that the episode's featured aliens, portrayed as disfigured creatures afflicted with radiation sickness and burns, would be offensive to survivors of the atomic bomb dropped in Japan during World War II. This episode was not made available to us for this set from the licensor.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes Gets a Rewrite!More news is coming in for the sequel to Rise of the Planet of the Apes. THR reports that Mark Bomback, whose writing credits include Live Free or Die Hard as well as the recent Total Recall remake, has been tapped to work on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Matt Reeves, stepping into the shoes originally worn by Rupert Wyatt, is directing the sequel to Fox’s 2011 hit Rise of the Planet of the Apes, with the new movie continuing the story of how ultra-intelligent simian Caesar presides over the fall of human civilization.

Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa, who penned the first installment, wrote the initial draft for Dawn. Scott Burns had written a draft for Wyatt, but when Reeves came on board, the studio and producers wanted something tailored specifically for him. It should also be noted that Bomback did some uncredited script doctoring on Rise.

Andy Serkis is returning as Caesar, and Peter Chernin is back as producer. Fox has set a May 23, 2014, release date.

Look for more as it comes.

Teens Take a Hayride to Hell in New Slasher

With Halloween rapidly approaching, it's a safe bet that lots of you will be taking some haunted hayrides this season. Luckily for slasher fans, this group of kids is doing so and coming back in pieces. Read on for the first stills and artwork from Hayride.

From the Press Release
Acort International, one of the top distributors of independent films in the global marketplace, has just secured the recently completed horror film Hayride for world-wide distribution. Distribution plans are currently in consideration and will include a North American DVD release, cable/satellite/internet VOD run, and a limited theatrical as well as being showcased at this year's 2012 American Film Market.

Hayride was filmed in Southern Alabama and is loosely based on the childhood experiences of the director, whose family used to have an annual haunted hayride attraction. The cast includes Mississippi native Sherri Eakin, who is no stranger to independent horror movies, Jeremy Ivy, and veteran actor Richard Tyson (Kindergarten Cop; Black Hawk Down; Me, Myself & Irene). The film follows a college student returning home for Halloween who is forced to face his childhood fears when an escaped killer takes refuge in his family’s haunted hayride attraction. The phrase coined for the film, which has also become its tagline, is “Southern Fried Horror.”

Writer/director Terron R. Parsons got his start producing commercials and has been writing since a very young age. Parsons and co-producer Thomas Hatchett came up with the idea of writing a story based around the old haunted hayride one Halloween night while talking about what they would like to see in a next level slasher movie. Fellow Southerner and veteran actor Richard Tyson agreed to be in the film after Parsons reached out and shared the basic vision for the film, and production took place fall 2011. Completed summer 2012, Hayride will be a showcase title for Acort at the upcoming AFM.

    The "Mockingbird Lane" pilot was written by Bryan Fuller and directed by Bryan Singer. It is a reinvention of the 1960s sitcom about "The Munsters," a family of “monsters” — vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstein — and their “plain” cousin that will feature striking visuals in the vein of Fuller’s ABC dramedy "Pushing Daisies."

    Exclusive: Director John Luessenhop on Leatherface's Legacy and More for Texas Chainsaw 3D

    0
    0

    Faced with the daunting task of rebooting an entire franchise and following directly in the footsteps of Master of Horror Tobe Hooper is director John Luessenhop, who found himself at the helm of Texas Chainsaw 3D.

    The sequel picks up only hours after we saw Leatherface dance in defeat with his trusty chainsaw at the conclusion of Hooper's original flick back in 1974.

    Because we missed chatting with him during our set visit to Shreveport for Texas Chainsaw 3D, Dread Central recently caught up with Luessenhop on the phone to speak with him about how he came aboard the sequel, his experiences shooting a 3D horror flick, the look of Leatherface this time around and more.

    Check out what Luessenhop had to say about Texas Chainsaw 3D below, and look for more soon!

    Dread Central: Great to speak to you today, John! I really enjoyed Takers so I admit that I'm really curious about your take on the horror genre and this world in particular considering the legacy of Tobe's original movie. Was that daunting to consider, or did you have to put it out of your head somewhat and do your own thing? Were you a fan of the first Chainsaw?

    Related News: Exclusive: Alexandra Daddario Talks Texas Chainsaw 3D and More

    John Luessenhop: Oh yeah, I was a huge fan of the original, and when I went back to revisit it for this project, I wrote down about 10 things that I really thought were keystone moments in that film like the armadillo, the door, the freezer - that kind of stuff - and sprinkled them into this story to give it the flavor of the original. I knew how important that was going to be for fans, to give them something familiar but new, and yes, it was very intimidating to me because there are there are so many fans out there that really love this franchise, these characters and know every single little detail. At the end of the day I have to honor that but, at the same time, deliver a completely new story that can stand on its own feet, too.

    But what I ultimately took away from Tobe's film was just how grotesquely beautiful it was; there was something remarkable about how he would just frame a shot or how he filmed all the outdoor scenes, and I think that's part of why that movie has endured. So for me I wanted to tell a real story much like Tobe did but still have all the fun and scares in there, too. After all, it IS a horror movie about a guy with a chainsaw (laughs).

    And I had seen many of the seminal horror movies, but I admit that when I was hired for Chainsaw 3D, I really wasn't totally versed in the horror world so I did a lot of research. I watched a lot of horror documentaries and tons and tons of movies just to get a feel of what had been done before so I could try and give this my own spin and not recreate someone else's work. I really wanted to know as much as I could going in so I could deliver a great horror movie for fans, and hopefully I did just that. We'll see (laughs).

    Dread Central: I know the look of Leatherface is something fans are dying to know about- can you talk about kinds of masks you're using for this? Are we going to see new masks, some of the masks from the original or maybe a bit of both?

    Related News: Texas Chainsaw 3D - Best Look at Leatherface Yet!

    John Luessenhop: We’ve got three in this one; there's one that we replicated from the original to a "t". It's the one that he's wearing at the end, which makes sense since we pick up right after that. We also have two others that are new, and I think fans are going to love them; KNB really did a fantastic job. I think they look pretty great.

    Dread Central: How was it working with some of the original cast members on Chainsaw 3D?

    Related News: Texas Chainsaw 3D Set Visit Report and New Images

    John Luessenhop: It was great; John Dugan is back, and as for Marilyn (Burns), she was wonderful. She had such enthusiasm about this project that made it fun to have her back in this franchise again; she was instrumental in getting us in touch with the other cast, too.

    The day Gunnar came to set for the first time is something I will never, ever forget. When he got out of the car after we pulled up to the driveway, he just stopped dead in his tracks as he was walking towards the farmhouse once he saw what we had recreated. Gunnar's eyes glossed up and all he could say was, "It's all coming back to me," and it was remarkable to see that kind of raw emotion going through him. Just considering what they went through to make that movie in the 70's and to see what it's become since then, that has to be an overwhelming feeling.

    This is it, boils and ghouls. Your final chance to participate in an auction to assist women struggling with breast cancer via the Busted Foundation and The Horror Starlets - and we saved the best for last! Read on for the details.

    Filmmaker Declan O’Brien has terrified audiences with Wrong Turn 3, Wrong Turn 4 and the upcoming Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines, and now he offers a signed copy of the latter as well as a piece of film history to benefit a charitable cause.

    Currently up for auction is a signed (by writer and director O’Brien) Blu-ray copy of the Twentieth Century Fox release Wrong Turn 5: Bloodlines (the flick streets on 10/23/2012) along with a signed silicone, full facial prosthetic worn during the making of the film in Sofia, Bulgaria, by Borislav Iliev, the only actor to portray the series’ ‘Three Finger’ character twice (both in Wrong Turn 3 and Wrong Turn 5).

    All proceeds from the auction will be going to assist local LA women struggling with breast cancer via the Busted Foundation and The Horror Starlets. Bidding starts at the incredibly low $100.00, but as this is for a charitable cause, we hope that Wrong Turn fans will value this exclusive auction.

    Check out the auction on eBay here! Act quickly, though, because it ends October 20, 2012, at 14:32:38 PDT.

    Synopsis:
    Now that horror fans have the backstory on the Hillbilly Cannibals’ “Bloody Beginnings”, the franchise rejoins the infamous disfigured brothers as they return when WRONG TURN 5: BLOODLINES debuts on unrated Blu-ray, DVD, and, for the first time ever, Digital Copy on October 23rd from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. This all-new terrifying film boasts the talent of horror movie veteran Doug Bradley (Hellraiser) along with Roxanne McKee ("Game of Thrones").

    The cutting-edge terror continues when a small mining town hosts the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where crowds of costumed partygoers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But a killer celebration soon gives way to a blood-soaked feeding frenzy when an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students who are just dying for a good time...

    With hours of bonus footage including behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary “DIE-aries” from director Declan O’Brien (Wrong Turn 4, Sharktopus), WRONG TURN 5: BLOODLINES will give audiences an extra scare this Halloween season.

    Special Features

  • A Day in the Death
  • Hillbilly Kills
  • Director's Die-aries
  • Audio Commentary by Declan O'Brien

  • The QuiET RoOM BeARs Rise Again, Check Out the Making-Of Trailer and New Site

    Lee Howard might be as close to an evil genius as we've met in quite some time, with his most evily, geniusy project being The QuiET RoOM BeARs. For those of you who like to be surrounded by horrific memorabilia and figurines, a Quiet Room Bear might be your ultimate friend to the end.

    Last year we introduced you to Lee Howard and his labor of love, the QuiET RoOM BeARs, a line of stuffed animals (well, actually more unstuffed than stuffed by the time Howard gets done with them) personally transformed by the artist (read: patient) from a cuddly toy to a nightmarish creature. How's it done? Check out the trailer below and see for yourself.

    Now after a year, the QuiET RoOM BeARs are thriving and Howard has even added a line of horrific breakfast cereal artwork (yes, you read that right…I told you, evil genius) to his online shop. If you'd like to get your hands on something spawned from the mind of this madman, visit the QuiET RoOM BeARs shop and like the QuiET RoOM BeARs Facebook page. When the fanpage gets to 1,111 likes, Howard will be giving away a bear to some lucky fan. It's the gift that keeps on grieving.

    New Screens Arrive for the Sims 3 Supernatural

    The Sims 3 Supernatural is now available for PC at retailers worldwide. Now is the perfect time to pick up the game with Halloween right around the corner. Check out some fresh new screens on all the spooky fun that can be had this month!

    From the Press Release
    The Sims 3 Supernatural Expansion Pack* is now available at retailers nationwide and for digital download on PC and Mac. In The Sims 3 Supernatural, players will experience the madness of the werewolves’ full moon, the menace of vampires, the magic of witches, and the mischief of fairies as they explore the new world of Moonlight Falls. Intoxicating magic and spellbinding surprises await players as they fully embody a supernatural life, playing as new types of Sims with mysterious powers and enchanting traits.

    “This expansion pack adds a new, magical dimension to The Sims experience, opening up a world of storytelling possibilities,” said Kari St. John, Senior Producer for The Sims Studio . “We’re excited to put creative tools in the hands of our players, giving them the ability to tell contemporary stories inspired by this supernatural theme.”

    A cast of supernatural characters introduce fun new gameplay options to the world of The Sims 3. Players can live out supernatural lives as werewolves, fairies, witches and vampires, all of which are completely customizable in the Create A Sim tool. Witches can challenge one another in spellcasting duels or show off their high-flying tricks in the magic broom arena. Werewolves can hunt for collectibles and change at will between their human and wolf forms. Fairies can play pranks and cast beneficial auras, while vampires stalk the night and use their seductive powers to convince other Sims to join their undead ranks.

    Aside from a cast of new supernatural Sims, The Sims 3 Supernatural offers many additional gameplay features available to all Sims in the game, supernatural or not. Any player can choose to build their Sim’s skill in alchemy, mixing a variety of potent elixirs that range from love potions to vampiric sunscreen and even zombification brews. Sims will explore the mysterious world of Moonlight Falls as they uncover hidden secrets and collect rare ingredients, allowing them to ultimately create more powerful elixirs. Sims who truly hone this craft can reach the status of master alchemist, and those looking to earn a few extra simoleons can visit the local alchemy shop to sell their concoctions.

    In addition to werewolves, fairies, witches and vampires, players can expect to see many more ghosts amidst the supernaturals in their town. For the first time in The Sims 3, players can customize ghost Sims by selecting their cause of death, with options including ‘death by drowning’, ‘death by fire’ and ‘death by meteor.’ The Sims 3 Supernatural also adds a completely new death type, ‘death by jelly beans,’ for those Sims prone to over-indulgence.

    Set in a foggy and secluded valley, the new world of Moonlight Falls adds a mysterious backdrop to The Sims 3 Supernatural and introduces new venues for Sims to explore. Supernatural Sims have their own lurk-worthy hangouts, including Varg’s Tavern, where werewolves congregate by the light of the full moon. Sims can also visit the traveler’s caravan to have their fortunes told, or choose the fortune-telling career path as either a legitimate medium or a bogus psychic.

    Players can control the lunar cycle in their game for the first time in The Sims 3 Supernatural. With the rise of the full moon, players will notice strange happenings and changes in magical potency as both supernatural and ordinary Sims are affected. Players can customize the duration of the lunar cycle or choose to play with a continuous full moon for an especially peculiar and enchanted game experience.

    With The Sims 3 Supernatural, players will discover a rich new world filled with supernatural Sims, curses and charms, unpredictable transformations, high-flying hijinks and other spooky surprises. Embrace the supernatural with the latest expansion pack from The Sims 3 and play with life in magical, mysterious and mischievous new ways. The Sims 3 Supernatural is rated “T” for Teen and currently available online and across retailers in North America.

    You can visit the official The Sims 3 website to learn more about the game.
