Along with Evil Dead, Sony brought The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones to WonderCon 2013 and left behind this brand new trailer. On hand for a Q&A with the screening were the book's author, Cassandra Clare, along with stars Lily Collins, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Kevin Zegers.

Per IGN, who debuted the trailer online, Clare said that the film, which she hasn't seen in its entirety, is as close to the spirit of the book as possible without being 10 hours long. She recalled the great access she was given, from hours of conversations with the casting director to visits to the set and even being able to make a cameo in the movie. Collins said they needed to make [her character] Clary accessible to the audience, someone who could be your friend amidst all these crazy situations. Bower said his character will be both vulnerable and snarky.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s young adult fantasy novel and has a release date of August 23, 2013.

Kevin Durand, Robert Maillet, Elyas M'Barek, Lily Collins, Robert Sheehan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jemima West, Kevin Zegers, Lena Headey, Jared Harris, Godfrey Gao, and Jamie Campbell Bower star in the film helmed by Harald Zwart. Jessica Postigo and I. Marlene King wrote the script.

Synopsis:
Set in contemporary New York City, a seemingly ordinary teenager, Clary Fray (Lily Collins), discovers she is the descendant of a line of Shadowhunters, a secret cadre of young half-angel warriors locked in an ancient battle to protect our world from demons. After the disappearance of her mother (Lena Headey), Clary must join forces with a group of Shadowhunters, who introduce her to a dangerous alternate New York called Downworld, filled with demons, warlocks, vampires, werewolves, and other deadly creatures. Based on the worldwide best-selling book series.

If there's one thing we know for certain, it's that when Hollywood is gearing up for another young adult targeted big screen adaptation, we can and will expect there to be a barrage of character posters. It has begun!

If Open Road was thinking it had the next Twilight on its hands with The Host, also written by Stephenie Meyer, it had better think again. The film had a disappointing $11 million, 6th place debut, a sure sign that it's not the next hot young adult franchise everyone is scrambling to find.

Per Box Office Mojo, The Host's opening is about on par with what Beautiful Creatures grossed over its initial five-day holiday weekend run last month but is obviously a fraction of the first Twilight movie's $69.6 million start. The audience was 78 percent female and 61 percent under the age of 25 (a bit younger than Twilight's typical crowd). They awarded the movie a "B-" CinemaScore, which pretty much ensures that word-of-mouth won't improve things for the film, which we expect to drop out of theatres pretty quickly. Thankfully, it's the last of its breed until August, when Sony releases The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones.

Read our The Host review here!

As for the remaining genre stragglers peppering the Top 10 this weekend who battled it out with #1 and #2 offerings G.I. Joe: Retaliation and The Croods, respectively, we had Oz: The Great and Powerful at #5 with $11.6 million (it's total is now close to $200 million) and The Call at #7 with $4.8 million (just about $40 million total).

Next weekend is all about Evil Dead... will horror fans support the one remake we've seen in ages that's actually worthy of a box office win, or will they opt for that other blast from the past opening April 5th, Jurassic Park 3D? Check back on Sunday for the results!

While most of the horror world spent the weekend on pins and needles waiting for the season finale of "The Walking Dead," yours truly spent it at the Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival, where I had the chance to chat with Norman Reedus about The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct.

The 12th annual Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival wrapped up today at the Nashville Convention Center (it ran all weekend, March 29-31). Horror fans enjoyed shopping, participating in fun events, and meeting their favorite horror celebrities. The convention featured an impressive lists of celebrities including Linda Blair (The Exorcist), Norman Reedus ("The Walking Dead"), Sid Haig (The Devil's Rejects), Adrienne King (Friday the 13th), and many more.

Thousands of fans endured waiting in dreary and wet weather to get their tickets to the event. "I have been waiting in line for three hours,"stated die-hard fan Sarah Gomez. Sarah admitted that she traveled all the way from New York to meet one particular heartthrob. "I freakin' love 'The Walking Dead' and Norman Reedus. I had to meet him!" exclaimed Sarah. After a quick poll of the crowd, it appeared that the biggest draw for the event was the guests from the hit AMC television show "The Walking Dead."

The event also featured acclaimed tattoo artists (around 120) from all over the world with over a hundred awards being given out for tattoo contests. Fans could get tattooed right there on the floor by some of the best artists in the industry--which means if you have been considering a tattoo, then this is the best event for it. (Make your plans for next year now!) Where else do you get the chance to get a tattoo, talk with a horror legend, and then catch a scary movie? Some of the films shown at this year's festival included Old Habits Die Hard,Friday the 13th: Part 6, and Night of the Living Dead to name a few with several films being hosted by the celebrities themselves. The fun didn't stop there! Once the event ended at 11PM each night, then fans could head over to the after show parties, which included the Club Chaos Dance Party and Generation Landslide.

Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival is a great event for horror and tattoo fans alike. The festival also brought out hundreds of cosplayers, who flooded the convention center with some of their scariest and bloodiest outfits. There is no better way to spend your Easter weekend than with a convention center full of zombies, ghosts, and ghouls! With all the horror madness, there was only one thing missing--GAMES! This being said and with the recent release of The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, there was only one thing left to do...talk gaming with Norman Reedus.

Read our The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct review.

Reedus, aka Daryl Dixon, gave us his thoughts on the new game, summing it up in one word: "Awesome."Norman still thinks it is pretty badass despite all the negative reviews the Activision game received. "It is a very smart game because of all the different ways to kill, and you have think on your feet by hiding and collecting things,"stated Reedus. He also commented that it is much easier to use the crossbow in the game than it was in real life on the television show.

Norman admits he is a noob when it comes to the gaming industry and that he only recently got into gaming with his teenage son. Besides playing The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct, he also enjoys first-person shooters and is a fan of the Call of Duty franchise.

What did he take away with his work on The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct? "A lot of hard work goes into making a video game," commented Norman.

Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival is a must-attend show for those who live in the area so make sure to keep updated by visiting the official Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival website.

In tonight's "The Walking Dead" season finale, the two factions went to war. Did your favorite character survive? Were you devastated at the end of the episode? We already knew how many would die tonight. Keep your tissues handy for the recap.

"Welcome to the Tombs" was written by Glen Mazzara and directed by Ernest Dickerson.

SPOILER ALERT: Do not read any further if you haven’t watched the episode yet. This is a recap with specific details from this episode. Continue only if you have already watched it.

We open with the governor brutally beating Milton for torching his zombies. He then demands that Milton kill a still tied up Andrea, but he can't do it, trying to turn on the Governor instead. But the Governor fatally stabs him and leaves Milton locked in the room with Andrea so that when he turns, he'll have no choice but to kill her.

When we return from the opening, while everyone at the prison was getting ready, Carl put together a bag for baby Judith, filling it with keepsakes like the framed picture of his family that he retrieved from the bar, but he kept Rick's old sheriff badge in his pocket instead. Leaving his cell with his bag, Carl seemed so much older than his age now.

They were all packing up their vehicles when Glenn commented to Rick that he had never seen Carl this mad. As Rick got into his car, he paused to take stock of the prison and saw a pregnant Lori looking down from a walkway above. He just shrugged and got in. Carol approached Daryl as he reminisced that Merle had never ever done what he just did. "He gave us a chance," returned Carol gratefully as she helped Daryl up.

Michonne informed Rick that they were ready. She told Rick that she understood Rick's position about giving her up to the Governor. He apologized. She then thanked Rick for taking her in back when she came to the prison with the baby formula. Rick even got to joke about the baby formula being the deciding factor, but then he attributed her staying to Carl. When Rick finally told Michonne that she was one of them now, she let out a knowing but barely-there smile.

Talking to the now-armed Woodbury soldiers, the Governor vilified Rick and the group at the prison, saying that they already killed 8 men and now won't stop until they kill everyone at Woodbury and take everything for themselves. The Governor wanted to end this war, once and for all.

Tyreese and Sasha interrupted the Governor and begged off the fight, saying that they would not fight other people. Tyreese even volunteered to stay at Woodbury to defend the children and said that they would leave if when the Governor returns he wanted them gone. The Governor handed Tyreese a gun and thanked him before leading the army.

Outside the prison, the armed Woodbury convoy arrived and took out the watch towers from afar, as well as the wandering walkers near them. When an enforced truck rammed through the gate of the prison, armed Woodbury soldiers followed in, but there were no signs of Rick and the group. When the truck pulled off the inner metal gate, Allen and Martinez led the charge and pulled the metal door open.

Martinez led the group into the now-empty prison block formerly occupied by Rick and the group. After searching around, the Governor realized that the prison block had emptied out and found Hershel's bible with a highlighted passage about evil and damnation. The Governor was furious. Then he heard noises down a dark passage and went inside with a group.

Andrea called out to a bloodied Milton, who instructed her to retrieved the pair of pliers that he dropped for her earlier. While trying to get the pliers, Andrea promised to get them both out, but Milton demanded that she kill him instead.

Martinez and the Governor, in two separate groups, wandered through the prison's dark hallways looking for any signs of life and got closer to the noises.

Back at Woodbury, Tyreese reported that everything was quiet during his watch. Sasha asked what they would have to do when the Governor returned and Tyreese suggested that they try to slip out the way Andrea did. When Sasha commented about how going to the prison would not have done Andrea any good, Tyreese insisted that he go another another watch instead of Sasha.

Andrea was still trying to retrieve the pliers when Milton got quiet. Afraid that he had died, she braced herself but Milton wasn't dead yet. He asked her why she stayed at Woodbury after she found out about Rick and the prison. She replied that she wanted to save everyone including the Governor. She even confessed that she had a chance to kill the Governor once but she didn't because she wanted to save everyone. She paused for a moment when Milton got quiet again. But he still wasn't dead... yet. He implored her to hurry.

As the Governor and his troops continued with their search, they got interrupted by some flashbombs that started bringing walkers to them, causing mayhem and walker killing. The Woodbury army ran outside into the open right into Glenn's and Maggie's firing range. They were both fully decked out in riot gear. Hershel, Beth and Carl were observing the fight from the woods. Carl insisted that he should be there fighting. Maggie and Glenn continue to attack from above, forcing the Woodbury army to retreat and drive away. After they were gone, Maggie and Glenn stopped shooting and went down.

In the woods, a young Woodbury fighter (Ben?) ran into Hershel, Beth and Carl. When he implored them not to shoot, Carl calmly aimed his gun at the kid and shot him in cold blood.

Rick and the group surveyed the prison after the army left. They had driven the army away. Daryl insisted that they go after the army and bring the fight to Woodbury. Before making any decision, Rick wanted to check on everyone first. Returning to their prison block, they started to reclaim their space. Carl told Rick that he would go to Woodbury with the group. Carl had even taken out a soldier earlier, a soldier that Hershel clarified was only a kid. Carl was adamant about going. After he walked off, Hershel told Rick what Carl did and how Carl did not have to shoot the kid, since he was about to surrender to Carl. Rick did not want to believe, but he knew Hershel was telling the truth.

The Governor stopped the convoy to yell at his army for retreating. When they protested, the Governor started shooting and killing his people instead. While some tried to run off, Allen aimed his gun at the Governor. When Allen paused, the Governor just him in the head while Martinez looked on helplessly. The Governor went to inspect his kills and shot them in the head again. A woman lying under another body was still alive but he didn't see her. The Governor went back into his car and quietly motioned his last two henchmen to climb on.

Andrea still struggled with her escape by pliers and tried to calm herself that Milton was still alive, but she could sense he was turning. She tried to work faster as Milton started moving.

Rick and the group were preparing to leave when Rick confronted Carl about his shooting earlier. He asked Carl directly if the kid was surrendering. Carl insisted that he couldn't take a chance at letting the kid live. Carl didn't kill the walker that killed Dale. Rick didn't kill Andrew and Andrew returned to kill Lori. Rick was in the same room as the Governor but didn't kill him and the Governor killed Merle. Carl said he did what he had to do and told Rick to go, so that Woodbury wouldn't kill any more of them. Rick picked up his sheriff badge that Carl dropped.

Glenn and Maggie tell Rick they are staying in case the Governor returned. Daryl led the charge as Rick and Michonne drove behind them. Closing the gate behind them, both Beth and Carol got to take out some walkers.

Rick, Daryl and Michonne came up to where the Woodbury vehicles had stopped and dispatched of the former Woodbury fighters now turned walkers. They found the woman who was still alive, now hiding inside a truck.

Andrea was still working on her bindings when she realized Milton had turned. She struggled faster and walker Milton got up and headed towards her, snarling. The camera panned away and we heard her screaming and yelling and some thudding noises.

Rick, Daryl, Michonne and Karen came close to Woodbury's wall when they got pinned down by Tyreese and Sasha's gunfire. Karen yelled out to Tyreese but was pulled back down by Rick. She yelled back that the Governor killed all of the other Woodbury fighters and that Rick, Daryl and Michonne saved her. Rick and his group came out of hiding to talk to Tyreese. He was coming to Woodbury to finish the fight but that was before he found out what the Governor did. He also said that Andrea never made it back to the prison.

Rick, Daryl, Michonne and Tyreese found the Governor's torture shack with a pool of blood flowing out. When they opened the door, they saw walker Milton dead near the torture chair and Andrea next to the door. Andrea was burning up, said Michonne, and Andrea showed them her bite wound. Andrea asked if everyone was still alive. Directed at Michonne, Andrea was happy that she found Rick's group. "No one can make it alone now," said Andrea as Michonne cried. Andrea just didn't want anyone to die.

Andrea insisted that she had to kill herself while she still could. They handed her a gun. Michonne told Andrea she would stay with her. Daryl and Rick left Andrea with Michonne. Andrea looked at Michone one last time as Rick, Daryl and Tyreese waited outside the door when a gunshot rang out.

Daryl and Rick returned to the prison with a school bus. As they greeted their friends at the prison, former Woodbury residents descended from the bus. When Carl asked, Rick said that they would be joining them now. Carl did not like it and ran off. Rick took another look at the overpass, but this time he didn't see Lori anymore. Outside, the walkers continue their wandering.

It sounds like "In the Flesh" will be returning to BBC Three after all; in this featurette posted after the show's finale aired, writer Dominic Mitchell said about some of the unresolved plot lines, "We'll get to it... we'll get to it. I swear."

Does that mean a second season is on its way? We'll keep our eyes and ears open and let you know as soon as we get confirmation. And we'll stay on the lookout for news of when the first season's three episodes might run on BBC America as well.

BBC Three's "In The Flesh" is written by Dominic Mitchell and directed by Jonny Campbell. It stars Luke Newberry as Kieren Walker, David Walmsley as Rick Macy, Emily Bevan as Amy Dyer, and Harriet Caines as Jemima Walker.

As a proud, proud owner of a vintage 18" Kenner Alien, I was elated at the news that toy company Super7 would be rolling out a line of retro Alien figures. These bad boys were on display at WonderCon in Anaheim this past weekend, and we have a look at them for you right here.

The year was 1979. Toy giant Kenner was presumably searching for the next action figure line to rival their own success with Star Wars. Along came another science fiction spectacle in the shape of Ridley Scott's Alien. An odd choice for a line of children's action figures, but Kenner designed prototypes for five figures to be made once their larger Xenomorph did a market trial run. For whatever reason, they were never made.

Fast-forward 33 years and enter Super7, who managed to unearth these designs with the intent of making them a wonderful reality! With official permission from 20th Century Fox, Super7 is producing the full set of Alien figures as a subset of their Reaction series (a line of all retro figures).

This means you can own 1979 incarnations of Ripley, Dallas, Ash, Kane in Nostromo Suit, and of course, the Big Chap (on-set name for the xenomorph). Excited? Super7 says other Alien merchandise will follow, and we'll be sure to keep you updated on every piece of it.

These are due out this summer priced at an SRP of $19.99 each. The series consists of what would have been the entire first wave.

It's been awhile since last we had anything to talk about regarding the new werewolf comedy coming out from across the pond Love Bite, but what do you know? We now have a clip, an interview, and a peek at the film's FX for ya! Dig it!

Directed by Andy de Emmon, the flick stars Jessica Szohr alongside both Ed Speleers and Luke Pasqualino.

Synopsis
High school is over, and summer has begun in the dead-end seaside town of Rainmouth. While Jamie's friends seem to be happy working in the local pie factory by day and looking for a shag by night, Jamie is bored out of his mind, running his pothead mother's B&B. He's desperate to get out of there. But when he meets beautiful, smart, and sexy American traveler Juliana at a party, he's smitten - the world is not so small after all.

But soon after Juliana's arrival, strange things start happening. One of the local teens goes missing at a party. Then another. Jamie is warned by an enigmatic stranger that a werewolf is in town - and preying solely on virgin flesh! The only way to be safe seems to be to pop your cherry. (But that can't be true… can it?)

As the locals are picked off one by one, the boys fear that a werewolf is indeed after them. And for all their talk, it turns out none of them has ever had sex before…

Pretty soon, everyone is dying to get laid.

Time to add some giant beastie action to your Monday as two new trailers and a new one-sheet have arrived for the remake of the '50s film The Giant Gila Monster known simply as Gila! Check 'em out.

The flick, directed by Jim Wynorski, features the star of the original film, Don Sullivan, who with this project is making his return to acting after a 50-year absence. He stars alongside Brian J. Gross, Terence Knox, Madeline Voges, Jesse Janzen, Christina DeRosa, Rich Komenich, Kelli Maroney, Gerard Pauwels, Ellen Kingston, Jenna Ruiz and James Wolford Hardin.

Supposedly this flick is actually gonna have a limited theatrical run which will include drive-in theatres nationwide. More on that soon enough. In the interim check out the goods below.

Synopsis
A giant lizard terrorizes a rural Midwest community with a group of heroic young people led by Chase Winstead attempting to destroy the creature.

The sequel to the 1959 "classic"Attack of the Killer Shrews is well on its way, and whether you like it or not, we have a new trailer and one-sheet for you to check out. No, this is NOT an April Fool's joke. Steve Latshaw’s Return of the Killer Shrews is serious business.

Steve Latshaw’s low budget tongue-in-cheek sequel to an even lower budget 1959 bad movie classic has wrangled a few name actors, including “Dukes of Hazzard” star John Schneider, Transylmania beauty Jennifer Lyons, all-purpose character actor Bruce Davison, and original Killer Shrews star James Best, who is probably best remembered for his turn as the Wile E. Coyote-ish Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrane on the “Dukes of Hazzard.”

A TV reality show hires Captain Thorne Sherman (James Best) and his boat to cargo supplies to the deserted offshore island they’re using as a filming location. Thorne would have refused the job because he’s been to that island before and still sees it in his nightmares. Unfortunately, as the boat departs, Thorne is too hungover to realize where they’re going, and his first mate Rook (Rick Hurst) needs the money. So they sail — to a place Thorne Sherman never wanted to see again as long as he lived: the island of the Killer Shrews.

As the TV crew and two-fisted animal expert Johnny Reno (John Schneider) shoot their reality show, some of the cast and crew go missing, attacked and eaten in a bloody feeding frenzy by strange creatures. But tough as nails producer Stella, sleazy director Willard and manipulative writer Lenora couldn’t care less about the human cost. They are ruthlessly focused on getting their show in the can, regardless of the body count. Only cute young camera operator Mickey (Jennifer Lyons) and her on-again off-again boyfriend Sam grow concerned about their vanished friends. And Captain Thorne grows uneasy. Only he knows that the island holds hidden danger. The place is crawling with giant Killer Shrews, the result of a 50-year-old experiment gone terribly wrong.

No one is prepared when the Killer Shrews attack, devouring everything in their path! Thorne moves the panicked and blood-spattered survivors to a safe house – the same scientific compound where the man-eating shrews were spawned half a century ago. Everyone is grateful, but creeping suspicion grows. How does Thorne know about this place? And what is his connection to the Killer Shrews?

But these questions can wait. The shrews are fast and ferocious, able to strip flesh from their screaming victims in seconds. And they are ready to attack – now! Stella rises to the occasion, taking charge among the bloody carnage. But her heroism leads to her sudden and gory demise, and soon more crew members fall prey to the creatures’ ravenous, slathering jaws. To make matters worse, Jerry, a mysterious castaway, stalks the survivors. Jerry has a strange hold over the ravenous Killer Shrews, and at times he can control the crawling monsters.

Thorne and Jerry share a strange history, a past linked to the horrific flesh-eating Shrews. Now Jerry is targeting Thorne for bloody vengeance, and no one is safe from the dangerously insane castaway. Fleeing the relentless carnivorous shrews, Mickey takes refuge in a cave. But her safe haven turns to shocking horror when Mickey is trapped by Jerry. Sam braves the hordes of flesh-eating monsters to rescue Mickey from the madman’s lair, but Jerry gets the upper hand. On this island it’s eat or be eaten, and Jerry decides who is hunter and who is prey.

As the number of survivors dwindle, they must overcome their differences to avoid getting eaten alive. But before Thorne can get off the island, he must face his horrific past — and a final showdown with Jerry. Time is running out for the survivors to get off the island before the voracious monsters turn them all into bloody Shrew bait.

Finally some actual footage has arrived from the CBS summer series "Under the Dome," and we have a look at it here along with a few details that came out of this past Saturday's WonderCon panel for the show.

Per TV Guide, executive producer Brian K. Vaughan said the drive of the series is to hopefully answer exactly what the dome is. Though the writers have an idea of how they will eventually conclude this tale, Vaughan notes that it will be different from King's version. But the producers insist that their adaptation is more about peering into the struggles faced by humanity by exploring how people would deal with this situation.

"When you're under those intense circumstances, people's good hearts or evil hearts may come out more than in everyday life, so this intensity under that dome, under that magnifying glass, gives us a chance to really dissect what really makes people do what they do," executive producer Neal Baer said. "It's a parable for our time. We all know about dwindling resources. We can really tackle those things without being preachy. I've always wanted to do a show like that. What happens when you run out of Tide soap? What do you use? Who rises [to the occasion]? Do you really need a banker under the dome? But farmers? Maybe you do."

As for Big Jim (who's played by Dean Norris from "Breaking Bad"), he thinks he's above authority even before the dome descends. And after? "The dome allows certain types of people the opportunity to become a bit of a dictator because they are cut off from anyone who would check that power,"Norris said.

"We've divided the season into thirds," Baer said. "The three 'F's that we're going by are faith — 'This can't be real' or 'This won't last too long'— to fear, like, 'Oh my God, what are we going to do?' to fascism — 'Who's going to maintain order when people run out of things?'"

Synopsis:
"UNDER THE DOME" is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town’s inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers to what this barrier is, where it came from, and if and when it will go away.

The 13-episode summer series will premiere June 24th on CBS. It stars Mike Vogel, Rachelle Lefevre, Dean Norris, Natalie Martinez, Britt Robertson, Alexander Koch, Colin Ford, Nicholas Strong, Jolene Purdy, and Aisha Hinds.

"UNDER THE DOME" is produced by CBS Television Studios in association with Amblin Television. Neal Baer, Stephen King, Justin Falvey, Darryl Frank, Stacey Snider, and Brian K. Vaughan, who wrote the television adaptation, serve as executive producers. Acclaimed director Niels Arden Oplev (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) directed the first episode.

One of the things that made The Raid so ridiculously memorable was the film's violence. The fight scenes were as brutal as they come, and there was enough additional gore to make even the most jaded viewer squirm.

The good news is that director Gareth Evans is continuing that blood-soaked tradition with the sequel, The Raid 2: Berandal. Check out the first gruesome still he shared online via his Twitter account below.

From the Press Release
PT Merantau Films and XYZ Films announce the start of production for THE RAID 2 (Indonesian title, THE RAID 2: BERANDAL), the sequel to the wildly popular international hit THE RAID (aka THE RAID: REDEMPTION). The film reunites writer/director Gareth Huw Evans with actor Iko Uwais, who will be reprising his starring role. Ario Sagantoro is producing for PT Merantau Films, along with Nate Bolotin, Nick Spicer, Aram Tertzakian and Todd Brown for XYZ Films. Executive producing are Rangga Maya Barack-Evans and Irwan D. Mussry.

In addition to Uwais, the international cast includes Tio Pakusadewo, Putra Arifin Scheunamann, Julie Estelle, Alex Abbad, and Roy Marten. The film is currently lensing in Jakarta, Indonesia, and is scheduled to shoot for over 100 days. Line producing the film is Daiwanne Ralie with Matthew Flannery and Dimas Imam Subhono serving as directors of photography.

Picking up right where the first film ends, The Raid 2 follows Rama (Uwais) as he goes undercover and infiltrates the ranks of a ruthless Jakarta crime syndicate in order to protect his family and uncover the corruption in his own police force.

“We’re incredibly excited to start the next chapter of The Raid story,” said XYZ Films. “Gareth introduced a rich and fertile world in the first film, and we’re eager to see him expand on that vision with Berandal.”

“To all our fans, thank you so much for your support. We can't wait to come back and show you what we have been working on,” said writer/director Gareth Evans. “We'll be there in 2014 with a film bigger, better, and bloodier! Wish us luck.”

Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions (SPWA) acquired the film for the United States, Spain, Latin America, and South Africa; and Sony Pictures Classics will once again release the film theatrically in the United States.

Synopsis
In the sleazy, foreboding world of winos, derelicts and drifters in lower Manhattan, two young runaways—eighteen-year-old Fred (Mike Lackey) and his younger brother, Kevin (Mark Sferrazza)—live in a tire hut in the back of an auto wrecking yard. Life is hard, but the most lethal threat to the boys is the mysterious case of Tenafly Viper wine in Ed’s liquor store window. The stuff is forty years old… and it’s gone bad. REAL bad! Anyone who drinks it melts in seconds—and it’s only a dollar a bottle!
