If you're an Alien fan, you had better sit down and collect yourself before checking out this story. We've seen some pretty cool stuff from NECA before, but this just might take the cake!

From NECA Online:
Xenomorphs have been around us for over 30 years now. Many iterations have taken this aggressive race to become icons of Horror, Suspense, and even Adventure, and as so, caused many folks with an acute taste to want these creatures in their collections.

NECA’s made several Alien action figures from almost all of the films in the franchise, including the most recent Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem. This year we’re bringing even more figures, and we wanted to answer a few of your questions.

New Aliens Warrior Action Figure
From James Cameron’s Aliens film, we’re releasing an all new Warrior figure with removable limbs, fully articulated, and about 9″ tall.

The Two Colonial Marines
Aboard the warship Sulaco, Ripley is introduced to a team of Colonial Marines, one of which is Corporal Dwayne Hicks. This year we’ll bring Hicks to life, fully articulated, at about 7″ tall, along with another Colonial Marine, which we’re not yet ready to reveal the identity of.

You can expect the Warrior Aliens to have clean and battle damaged versions and both blue and brown highlights for variety when army building your hive.

1/4 Scale Original Alien Figure
From the 1979 original Ridley Scott film, we’re preparing a release of the 1/4 scale Alien figure. This is the classic Xeno, with the clear dome. Yes – a gorgeously gross Classic Alien that stands over 22 inches tall and is fully articulated.

We’ve done a Classic Alien 18-Inch Action Figure in the past, so expect improvements including the enormous figure packaged fully assembled, and this Xeno will have new and improved deco over the original release from 2008.

About The Alien Queen Action Figure
Hey, we love the Queen, too. She’s one of the scariest, meanest looking creatures in film history. But currently she’s only in our wishlists. There’s a slight possibility we’ll get to her in 2013, but there’s nothing confirmed yet. One of the reasons we’re not getting to the Queen this year is because…

A Prometheus Line Is Coming Up This Summer
We’re extremely excited about the upcoming film from Ridley Scott and have our hands full with a new line of figures. We’ll probably be able to show some Prometheus sculpts by the end of June.

Future For The Lines
We asked on Facebook and Google+ what fans wanted to know about the license, and a lot of the questions were about its continuity, if we’re doing a full set of Colonials, etc. Honestly, it all depends on how well sales go and what our production schedule permits. We are very excited to finally bring you Colonial Marines from Aliens, and we hope to bring you a Queen in 2013.

To kick off your weekend, we have the second trailer for Jonathan Liebesman's Wrath of the Titans, and we're happy to report that it amps up the action seen in the previous trailer in just about every way possible!

Sam Worthington reprises his role as Perseus alongside Ralph Fiennes as Hades, Liam Neeson as Zeus, and Gemma Arterton as Io. Edgar Ramirez (as god of war Ares), Danny Huston (as god of the sea Poseidon), Bill Nighy (as the fallen god Hephaestus), Rosamund Pike (as Queen Andromeda), and Toby Kebbell (as Poseidon's demigod son Agenor) also star.

Look for Jonathan Liebesman's Wrath of the Titans in theatres on March 30th, 2012, from Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. in, of course, 3D.

Synopsis
A decade after his heroic defeat of the monstrous Kraken, Perseus—the demigod son of Zeus—is attempting to live a quieter life as a village fisherman and the sole parent to his 10-year old son, Helius.

Meanwhile, a struggle for supremacy rages between the gods and the Titans. Dangerously weakened by humanity’s lack of devotion, the gods are losing control of the imprisoned Titans and their ferocious leader, Kronos, father of the long-ruling brothers Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. The triumvirate had overthrown their powerful father long ago, leaving him to rot in the gloomy abyss of Tartarus, a dungeon that lies deep within the cavernous underworld.

Perseus cannot ignore his true calling when Hades, along with Zeus’ godly son, Ares (Edgar Ramírez), switch loyalty and make a deal with Kronos to capture Zeus. The Titans’ strength grows stronger as Zeus’ remaining godly powers are siphoned, and hell is unleashed on earth.

Enlisting the help of the warrior Queen Andromeda (Rosamund Pike), Poseidon’s demigod son, Argenor (Toby Kebbell), and fallen god Hephaestus (Bill Nighy), Perseus bravely embarks on a treacherous quest into the underworld to rescue Zeus, overthrow the Titans and save mankind.

So how does this weekend's genre release stack up against the competition? We have the verdict on Gone for you right here. Read on if you dare.

Read our review for Gone here!

The film is directed by Heitor Dhalia from a script by Allison Burnett. Amanda Seyfried's co-stars include Emily Wickersham, Wes Bentley, Jennifer Carpenter, and Erin Carufel.

Synopsis:
Gone centers on Jill Parrish, a young woman (Seyfried) who returns home from her night shift to find her sister Molly's bed empty. Jill is convinced that the serial killer who kidnapped her two years before has come back to finish the job, but when the police do not believe her and with no one to turn to, the woman sets off to find her sister and face her abductor once and for all.

Movie fans never have enough ways to watch their favorites. Sure, we have plenty of options now, but we're always looking for more. Prescreen, an on-demand screening platform that launched last September, has announced an integration with Facebook, making it much more accessible.

Focusing on primarily indie films, many of which can only currently be seen at film festivals such as Sundance and SXSW, Prescreen now allows Facebook users to rent movies, view trailers, bookmark films and share their experiences with their Facebook friends. Your basic one-stop shopping for hard to find on-demand films.

As an example, Jeremiah Sayys' Of Silence, a film we've covered extensively here on Dread Central, is one of the first horror offerings on Prescreen (Click here for more info on that.)

“We are adding a new way to distribute long-form movies socially and couldn’t be more excited to partner with Facebook,” said Shawn Bercuson, founder and CEO of Prescreen, who is also one of the original Groupon execs. “People are influenced by friends and family recommendations and behaviors, and allowing Facebook users to see what others are watching online opens up a whole new world for movie discovery.”

Is there anything creepier than a really good spider movie? Maybe finding a big spider in your bed is creepier, but we'd say spider movies rank right up there in the skin-crawling department. Andrea Ricca tapped into that fear for his new short film, Spider Danger, which we have in its entirety.

Spider Danger is basically a one-man show by Ricca. He wrote the film, shot it, starred in it, edited it and provided all the effects, including the 3D work and animation. The only thing Ricca didn’t do was compose the original score (that slacker!), which was done by Antonio DeLuise.

The short channels the creature features of the '50s, focusing on monsters from outer space terrorizing an unsuspecting spider lover.

Time to get out your pencils and erasers again, kids. Two films that are high on our radar are doing that ol' release date shuffle with Sinister taking over The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D's newly vacated October 5th slot.

Since it's been awhile since we've heard anything new about The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, it's not a huge surprise it's been pushed back a few months from its original October 2012 date to January 4, 2013. All the better to let things get even more rotten in the state of Texas! Besides, January is proving to be almost as popular for horror films as October anyway.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D, a direct sequel to Tobe Hooper's original film, is being directed by John Luessenhop from a screenplay by Adam Marcus, Debra Sullivan and Kirsten Elms. Dan Yeager, John Dugan, Bill Moseley, Alexandra Daddario, Sue Rock, Tania Raymonde, Scott Eastwood, Gunnar Hansen, Tobe Hooper, Paul Rae, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Ritchie Montgomery, Trey Songz, Marilyn Burns, Shaun Sipos, Thom Barry and Richard Riehle star.

Sinister stars James Ransone, Ethan Hawke, and Juliet Rylance and is based on a script by director Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill. Hawke plays a journalist who travels with his family around the country to investigate gruesome murders he turns into books. After he moves his family into a house where another family was murdered, the journo discovers found footage that unveils horrifying clues beyond what caused the original tragedy.

Expect more on both films soon!

Sherman Hemsley decided after a decade starring as iconic loudmouth George Jefferson on “The Jeffersons” that it was time to take a shot at big screen superstardom. Not only did he star in and croon the theme song to the 1987 comedy Ghost Fever, he also funded the film out of his own pocket, eventually bankrupting him.

How could a family comedy about racist ghosts in a Southern plantation not have been a financial hit?

Sherman Hemsley had dual roles as one half of a bumbling police duo (along with original “Electric Company” player Luis Avalos) and as the ghost of his slave grandfather assisting him throughout the movie. You see, these two cops have been sent to serve an eviction notice to two beautiful sisters living in an old Atlanta antebellum home haunted by the ghost of its original crazy, slave-owning, racist owner. Hijinks ensure!

That Ghost Fever’s style of comedy felt like a very bad attempt to do 1930’s “Laurel & Hardy” style shtick in 1987 might have something to do with the screenwriter (Oscar Brodney) having been around 80 years old at the time and not having had a single writing credit to his name since 1971. It’s as if he or someone else just took a leftover politically incorrect slapstick comedy written back in the Forties and did some rewrites to tailor it to the Ghostbusters craze of the mid-Eighties.

Shot in 1985, Ghost Fever floundered for two whole years before finally being unceremoniously dumped into a handful of theaters and later onto home video. Its director was so unhappy with the finished film he insisted on an “Alan Smithee” credit. Sherman Hemsley lost the $3 million he personally invested, beginning his decade long road to financial ruin that ended with him declaring bankruptcy in 1999.

Hemsley also lent his vocal talents to his financial boondoggle singing the “Ghost Fever” theme song that plays out the end credits. Odds are most people who attempted to watch the film never made it far enough to actually hear Sherman Hemsley performing this lounge act worthy title track.

Money well spent.

Evil kids. The possibility of our little bundles of joy turning darkside for our money is the main reason for birth control. You bring these things into the world, clothe them, feed them, and BAM! they go all Damien. Some more eye candy for the latest toddling terror flick Childish Games is finally here.

Coming to us from Filmax is Childish Games starring Juan Diego Botto, Barbara Lennie, and Magica Perez. It's directed by Antonio Chavarrías from his own screenplay.

Filmax has now locked a March 9, 2012, date for the Spanish thriller.

Synopsis
Daniel receives an unexpected, and unwanted, visit from a friend whom he hasn't seen since his childhood. His friend is obsessed with his daughter and insists that Daniel has to meet her. Daniel does his best to get rid of him and tries to forget the incident. That same night his friend commits suicide.

Laura, Daniel's wife, suggests they go to his friend's funeral. There they meet his daughter, a little girl, barely seven years old, who since the death of her father has been taken into foster care. Laura convinces all parties that the best thing is for the little girl to go and stay with them.

But the little girl's presence in the house starts to have an adverse effect on the couple when fears and memories which Daniel thought he had long since buried start to come creeping back inside his head. The same obsessions and fears that took the life of his friend start to take control of Daniel. A growing sense of isolation engulfs Daniel in the house, which, until the arrival of the little girl, he had thought belonged to him.

Another three actors have jumped aboard Joe Johnston's new flick for Universal, Not Safe for Work, and we've got all the latest details for you right here on tap. Dig it!

According to Variety, Johnston is reteaming with his Captain America star JJ Feild (Neil Marshall's Centurion), who has been cast in Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Prods.' low-budget thriller Not Safe For Work along with Tom Gallop (The Bourne Identity) and Emmy winner Christian Clemenson ("CSI: Miami").

Horror favorites Adam Mason and Simon Boyes ((Blood River, The Devil's Chair) wrote the script, which follows a young paralegal trapped in an office with a killer on a secret mission to destroy files and anyone that stands in his path.

Max Minghella (The Social Network) will star as the cunning protagonist, while Eloise Mumford (ABC's "The River") will play his girlfriend, who works at the same office along with Clemenson.

Jason Blum (Paranormal Activity) is producing the pic, which will be exec produced by Couper Samuelson. Bryan Brucks is set to co-produce.

With the success of its first television movie Remains, Chiller TV is keeping the original programming ball rolling, and some new news has just popped in for its latest project, Dead Souls.

According to Bloody Disgusting Remains director Colin Theys reteams with Synthetic Cinema and Chiller on the telepic adaptation of Michael Laimo's novel about a teen who inherits his crazy preacher father's mysterious house. John Doolan, who also adapted Remains, will penned the feature.

Shooting begins this April in Connecticut.

Synopsis
On his 18th birthday, Johnny Petrie learns he was adopted when he inherits a farm in Maine, abandoned for the 18 years since his natural family died at the hands of his father, the local preacher. Eager for a new life, he leaves home to start over in his new dwelling. However, as he digs into his past, he soon uncovers the horrifying details of his father’s questionable teachings. In a frightening revelation, he also learns that his return has revived decades-old forces trapped in the home and sets in motion a heart-stopping finale to a ritual that already claimed the lives of his family.

Do you realize that the current box office gross of tonight’s likely Best Picture Oscar winner The Artist is still less than how much money The Devil Inside took in just on its opening weekend?

Or that The Help is the only best picture nominee to make more money than Alvin & the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked? At least they can all boast they’ve made far more money than Gone ever will.

If you’ve read my review of Gone, you already know how I felt about this latest Amanda Seyfried starring vehicle. Unfortunately for Miss Seyfried, this vehicle stalled out at 9th place. I speculated in my review that the film is destined for heavy rotation on the Lifetime Network sooner rather than later; looks like it’s going to be even sooner that I thought. The serial killer thriller flopped in a big way with only $5 million for its opening weekend. That makes Gone the lowest opening for a wide release movie thus far in 2012 and the biggest dud of Seyfried’s career, according to Box Office Mojo.

Miss Seyfried can drown her sorrows with Jennifer Aniston, whose new comedy Wanderlust also tanked, opening 8th with less than $2 million more than Gone.

Another film that’ll probably be gone from the box office soon in another week is Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Dropping 60%, down to 7th place in its second week, the $8.8 million it took this weekend brings its total coffers up to around $36 million. That’s still far, far behind what its much maligned predecessor made back in 2007. The producers might have been better off just cutting their losses and letting the Ghost Rider rights slip back into Marvel/Disney’s possession because there sure doesn’t appear to be much mileage left in this particular Marvel movie property.

The Rock continues to cook with Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Locked in at 3rd place with another $13 million for the weekend, whether or not Dwayne Johnson will return for another sequel remains to be seen, but I think it’s safe to assume that another installment of putting a 3D spin on one of Jules Verne’s classic tales is going to happen. Why do I have a gut feeling Journey from Earth to the Moon will soon become a reality?

Next week has absolutely nothing new to offer horror fans. The box office report will return in two weeks for the big screen showdown between Elizabeth Olsen being terrorized in a Silent House and the House of Mouse waiting to find out how much money they’re going to lose on the mega budget John Carter (no longer of Mars).

The hard working folks over at AVP Galaxy have scored themselves some nifty new info regarding Ridley Scott's Prometheus and what role Guy Pearce's character will play in the film. Read on for the details.

According to the site Scott recently spoke with the IC Press, and their chat arrived online via Hungarian website Mozinezo. AVP Galaxy found the story and did a little Google-based translating!

“When the first ‘Alien’ movie and ‘Blade Runner’ were made, I thought that in the near future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the Tyrell Corporation in ‘Blade Runner’, and Weyland-Yutani in ‘Alien’. They sent the Nostromo spaceship. The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and he is played by Guy Pearce. That’s the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well.“

It was also revealed a few weeks ago that Pearce is only in the film for about a minute.

Prometheus, starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Patrick Wilson, Logan Marshall-Green, and Ben Foster, will be in theaters on June 8th, 2012.

Synopsis
Ridley Scott, director of 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner,' returns to the genre he helped define. With 'Prometheus' he creates a groundbreaking mythology in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.

The first trailer for the Chiller TV adaptation of Brian Keene's Ghoul has arrived online, and we have it for you right here free of any gristle that could get lodged in between your teeth!

The film will air on April 13th. Check your local listings.

Directed by Greg Wilson and penned by William M. Miller, the adaptation stars Nolan Gould ("Modern Family") and acting vet Barry Corbin (No Country for Old Men, "The Closer"). Wilson also directed Jack Ketchum's The Girl Next Door.

The feature is part of Chiller's new original productions. The film was produced by MODERNCINÉ's Andrew van den Houten (The Woman, The Girl Next Door) and Robert Tonino.

Synopsis:
Based on the novel by Brian Keene, Ghoul centers on a group of young friends who risk their lives to stop who — or what — is behind a handful of disappearances in their town.

If you do not habla Espanol, you may want to skip this story and move on to the next because the clips included are all kind of talky and in Spanish. However, if you are bilingual, have at it and kindly explain to the rest of us what's going on. Thanks!

Bitten by a vampire and now spending the rest of eternity walking the Earth looking for something to do in between seducing Twilight fans and feeding? Why not go to the carnival?

Neil Jordan's Byzantium stars Gemma Arterton, Saoirse Ronan, Caleb Landry Jones, Danny Mays, Jonny Lee Miller, Tom Hollander, Bradley James, and Sam Riley in the vampire flick wherein Arterton stars as Clara, a vampire who has to protect herself and her daughter (Ronan) from those seeking to plunge a stake through their hearts.

More on this one as it comes.

Synopsis
On the run for murder, two young "sisters" arrive penniless at an English seaside town. Clara is a fiercely modern woman who has her eyes on the future and no time for the past. Teenager Eleanor is shy and innocent. Yet, they both hide the same secrets: They are really mother and daughter, and they are both ... vampires!

Eleanor is exhausted by 200 years on the run and desperate to settle down. But little does she know that her mother has been protecting her all of the years from their own kind, "The Brotherhood". To escape them, they must either blend in or continue running away. But just as they think they may have escaped, their past rapidly catches up with them.

With paranormal induced profits gaining everyone's attention around the industry, it's no wonder why we keep seeing a steady crop of these flicks headed our way. Add one more to the list!

According to Screen Daily, Colin Vaines (My Week With Marilyn) is working with UK chiller specialist David Pirie on a feature ghost story Vaines described as a "classic genre piece given a fresh treatment."

The script, currently in the development stage, is already generating buzz: "David has written a brilliant outline, and I’ve got people interested in the development of the piece. We could go into production very quickly at the right price," Vaines told SD.

No other details are available at this time, but keep it locked right here for developments as they come.

Vin Diesel has posted two more images from the latest chapter in The Chronicles of Riddick franchise, tentatively known as Dead Man Stalking, one of which features our favorite Furian toting around what appears to be a bone-like weapon. Check 'em out!

Chronicles of Riddick 2 is currently shooting in Montreal, based on a script by Twohy, who wrote both the first Chronicles of Riddick and Pitch Black, where he first created the character of Riddick.

Joining Diesel are a returning Karl Urban (Star Trek) as Vaako, Jordi Molla as Santana, the arrogant captain of the mercenary ship; Matt Nable (Killer Elite) as Boss Johns, a man looking for answers; Katee Sackhoff (TV's "Battlestar Galactica") as the Nordic mercenary Dahl; and Bokeem Woodbine (Total Recall) as bounty hunter Moss. Rounding out the cast are Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption), Conrad Pla (Immortals), Raoul Trujillo (Apocalypto), Nolan Funk (Aliens in America) and two-time Grammy Award-nominated singer Keri Hilson.

Synopsis:
The latest chapter of the saga that began with 2000's hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.
