The official one-sheet for Gareth Evans' sequel to The Raid: Redemption, entitled The Raid 2: Berandal, has arrived; and it's boasting some pretty big words that we are likely to agree with. Check it out!

Hyperbole or fact? We'll all find out come March 28, 2014.

Iko Uwais (The Raid), Julie Estelle (Macabre, Alex Abbad (Merantau), Marsha Timothy (The Forbidden Door), Mathias Muchus, Tio Pakusadewo, and Cecep Arif Rahman star.

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
He thought it was over. After fighting his way out of a building filled with gangsters and madmen – a fight that left the bodies of police and gangsters alike piled in the halls – rookie Jakarta cop Rama thought it was done and he could resume a normal life. He couldn’t have been more wrong.

Formidable though they may have been, Rama’s opponents in that fateful building were nothing more than small fish swimming in a pond much larger than he ever dreamed possible. And his triumph over the small fry has attracted the attention of the predators farther up the food chain. His family at risk, Rama has only one choice to protect his infant son and wife: He must go undercover to enter the criminal underworld himself and climb through the hierarchy of competing forces until it leads him to the corrupt politicians and police pulling the strings at the top of the heap.

And so Rama begins a new odyssey of violence, a journey that will force him to set aside his own life and history and take on a new identity as the violent offender “Yuda.” In prison he must gain the confidence of Uco – the son of a prominent gang kingpin – to join the gang himself, laying his own life on the line in a desperate all-or-nothing gambit to bring the whole rotten enterprise to an end.

There's been talk of an Escape from New York remake for years, and the project is now languishing in development hell. Something tells us it won't be there for very long. In any event, Snake Plissken himself, Kurt Russell, offered up his take on the possible remake and more to IGN!

“There’s nothing wrong with the concept of doing something,” Russell told the site of the proposed Escape from New York reboot.

“I just think that my only thing about that is, when I think of remakes — and I’ve done remakes that I didn’t think should have been done — I only think remakes make sense if you take an idea that was flawed, a script that was flawed, perhaps they didn’t have enough money to make it correctly, maybe a character or two was not particularly well-played or could be fixed. If it had a problem that you’d say, ‘God, if you just do that, that’s a great movie,’ or ‘If that movie had so-and-so in it, it could be great! Imagine that with so-and-so in it. Imagine that done this way.’ Then that to me makes perfect sense as to why they would do a remake.”

We couldn't agree more.

When asked if Russell would take the role on again himself... “He’s a great character. But no, I’m too old. Snake’s a man in his prime. He’s an American man absolutely in his prime. He’s a really good character.”

Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman is set to make the leap from the small screen to the big one, and he's bringing one of the show's biggest stars along with him. Read on!

THR reports that Norman Reedus has signed on to star in the Kirkman-produced sci-fi thriller Air alongside Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou.

The story is set in an underground cryogenic facility after a nuclear fallout renders the atmosphere unbreathable. Air centers on its two custodial workers (Reedus, Hounsou), who take care of the cryogenically sleeping personnel that are to re-establish society, but they struggle to preserve their own sanity and lives while maintaining the extremely fragile environment of the last livable place on earth.

Written by Christian Cantamessa and Chris Pasetto, the film will be directed by Pasetto.

Kirkman will be producing via his Skybound Entertainment banner along with David Alpert, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, and Chris Ferguson. Reedus will executive produce.

Skydance and Annapurna will co-finance along with Paramount with David Ellison producing for Skydance and Megan Ellison producing for Annapurna. Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier penned the script, and Alan Taylor will direct.

Set for a July 2015 release, the latest Terminator will be the fifth installment of the storied movie series, which began in 1984 as an indie distributed by Orion.

Synopsis
Some of literature's most terrifying characters, including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula, are lurking in the darkest corners of Victorian London. "PENNY DREADFUL" is a frightening psychological thriller that weaves together these classic horror origin stories into a new adult drama.

Picked up for distribution at last year's American Film Market, Zak Hilditch's apocalyptic thriller These Final Hours is set for release from Roadshow Films on June 12th.

While we wait, check out an exciting new trailer for the film, which nabbed the Critics' Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival!

Written and directed by Hilditch, the flick stars Nathan Phillips (Wolf Creek), Jessica De Gouw, Sarah Snook, Daniel Henshall, and Angourie Rice.

Synopsis

Before you get all crazy and start going off on "My wish never got granted," yadda, yadda, yadda... the headline is a figure of speech and is not to be taken literally. Though that would be cool. Really cool, even. In a perfect mystical world, I tell ya! In any event... dig on this new trailer for Jinn.

Detroit-based Exxodus Pictures and Freestyle Releasing have announced a North American wide theatrical release date of April 4, 2014, for JINN, a tension-filled supernatural thriller.

The film, written and directed by Ajmal Zaheer Ahmad, was produced by Ahmad, Benjamin Dresser, and Alan Noel Vega and stars Dominic Rains (Flight 93), Serinda Swan (USA’s “Graceland”), Ray Park (Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace), Faran Tahir (Elysium), and William Atherton (Die Hard). Richard Mandell, Najam Syed, and Shahid Syed executive produced the film for Exxodus.

The storyline of JINN involves ancient mythological beings that have rarely been explored in US cinemas. The premise of the jinn concept, known to over 1 billion people around the world, involves ghost-like entities and revolves around creation mythology.

Synopsis
In the beginning, three were created. Man made of clay. Angels made of light. And a third made of fire.

For centuries, stories of angels and men have captured the imagination and been etched into history crossing all boundaries of culture, religion, and time. These two races have dominated the landscape of modern mythology, shrouding the evidence that a third was ever created. This third race, born of smokeless fire, was named the jinn. Modern man has all but forgotten this third race ever existed. It is time for him to remember.

I personally don't have kids, but if I were a frustrated parent with a bratty, uncontrollable child, I'd be sure to send the little bastard or bitch to Happy Camp, if only for a couple of months of peace and quiet. If they didn't come back, well... um... bonus?

Below you'll find the first trailer for Happy Camp, produced by Drew Barrymore's Flower Films banner and helmed by first-timer Josh Anthony, who stars in, wrote, and directed the pic. Michael Barbuto, Anne Taylor, and Teddy Gilmore also star.

Look for the film on VOD March 25 via Gravitas Ventures.

Happy Camp is the story of four filmmaker friends who visit the Northern California town of Happy Camp, where hundreds of people have gone missing from the surrounding mountains, including one of the pals’ younger siblings decades ago, to film a documentary.

World War Z actor James Badge Dale isn't ready to give up the undead just yet as he's going from fighting zombies to fighting ghosts in Legendary Pictures' new horror flick Spectral.

According to The Wrap, Badge Dale is in negotiations to star in the film, which will be directed by Nic Matthieu. The original treatment, which was described as a supernatural Black Hawk Down, was purchased from Ian Fried, though George Nolfi wrote the script with an assist from rewriter John Gatins.

The premise of the project is centered on a modern-day, militaristic, and gritty approach to fighting the supernatural. Sources say the pitch, which sold for six figures, has been described as a darker and more serious take on a Ghostbusters-like story, with a plot that revolves around a special ops group formed to bring down evil ghosts that have taken over Manhattan. Locations and details might change over the course of the writing, however.

More on this one soon!

Are you a fan of stories about angels fighting humans and/or amongst themselves? If so, you'll possibly have another new TV show to watch along with "Dominion" on Syfy as word has come that A&E is developing "The 36." Read on for the details.

Per Deadline, A&E Network is developing the high-concept drama "The 36" with Immortals writers Charley and Vlas Parlapanides along with producer Michael London (The Illusionist, Milk).

The project’s title stems from the mystical Jewish concept of The Righteous 36, which stipulates that at all times there are 36 people in the world possessing special powers who don’t necessarily know each other, but if even one of them were to go missing, the world would come to an end.

If this premise sounds familiar, it was recently used on the Fox drama "Touch," where such 36 people were hunted by a shady organization.

A&E's "The 36" is set in New York and tells of the world of the Biblical fallen angels. These dark angels, or Nephilim, live among us and are only kept in check by The Righteous 36. It will center on Dane, a complicated hero who soon learns that he’s in the middle of this battle for the soul of mankind. The Parlapanideses are writing the script and will direct. They will also executive produce with London through his Groundswell Productions for A+E Studios.

A road trip takes a turn for the deadly in Jeremy Lovering's debut film In Fear (review), which is headed home this March, and right now we have two more clips from this chilling new spooker.

Having already conquered the Sundance Film Festival, In Fear, the critically acclaimed feature film debut of writer/director Jeremy Lovering, arrives March 11th on Blu-ray, VOD, and DVD from Anchor Bay Films.

In Fear will also enjoy several U.S. exclusive theatrical engagements starting Friday, March 7th.

Synopsis
Starring Iain De Caestecker (“Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D”), Alice Englert (Beautiful Creatures), and Allen Leech (“Downton Abbey”), In Fear is a tense psychological horror about a young couple's fight to make it through the night. Home invasion, but in a car. In real time.

Tom (De Caestecker) and Lucy (Englert) are trapped in a maze of country roads with only their vehicle for protection, terrorized by an unseen tormentor hell-bent on exploiting their worst fears. Driving, lost and tormented in the night, primal fears of the dark and the unknown give way to fear that you have let the evil in, or that it is already there.

During the week of March 10th, "Supernatural" and "The Vampire Diaries" are both airing repeats, but "The Originals" is, well, original! Here's the synopsis of Episode 1.16, “Farewell to Storyville,” in which our three Originals are trapped in the City of the Dead.

"The Originals" Episode 1.16 - "Farewell to Storyville" (airs 3/11/14, 8-9pm)
TRAPPED IN THE CITY OF THE DEAD — Despite Klaus’ (Joseph Morgan) rage, Elijah (Daniel Gillies) is determined to protect Rebekah (Claire Holt) while the three of them are trapped in the City of the Dead cemetery by a witch’s boundary spell.

Klaus and Rebekah trade bitter accusations until Elijah steps in to reveal a long-held secret from the family’s past.

Meanwhile, Marcel (Charles Michael Davis) races to free Rebekah, ultimately finding himself forced to make a deal with Genevieve (guest star Elyse Levesque).

Finally, Rebekah and Hayley (Phoebe Tonkin) connect over their shared concern for Hayley’s unborn baby. Jesse Warn directed the episode written by Michael Narducci.

When someone maliciously takes the life of someone whom you love, how far would you go for revenge? That question will be answered in the upcoming indie flick Darkness on the Edge of Town, and we have your first look.

Patrick Ryan writes and directs. Emma Eliza Regan, Emma Willis, Brian Gleeson, Sam Monaghan, and Chris Fitzgerald star.

Darkness on the Edge of Town tells the story of Cleo Callahan (Regan), a teenage sharpshooter who decides to avenge the death of her estranged elder sister after she is found murdered in a public bathroom. Unbeknownst to Cleo, her best and only friend, Robin O'Riley (Willis), is the murderer she's sworn to kill.

Nic Cage’s remake of Left Behind looks to have some divine competition in the form of Final: The Rapture. “Don’t Miss the Most Important Film of Your Life” might sound like the filmmakers are laying it on a bit thick...

...unless you consider the objective of their film is to render the audience born again scared.

Final: The Rapture is starting to make its way around the country theatrically, mostly Florida at the moment.

Judging by the trailer for Timothy A. Chey’s entry into the subgenre I’ve come to dub “Rapture Porn,” when the Rapture occurs, the human race will be divided into two groups: those that seemingly walk around aimlessly and those that join armed gangs of roving killers. Marantha News calls Final: The Rapture“The Scariest Christian Movie Ever,” for what’s that worth.

No, I have no clue what Marantha News is either.

Synopsis:
Breathtaking, gripping, layered, and astonishing, FINAL is a gritty, international tale of four separate stories woven together by a common theme: the Rapture. In Los Angeles, Colin Nelson desperately attempts to flee to Bora Bora. Keenly aware that he's in the Tribulation period, his only hope is in a mysterious man named Frankie. In Tokyo, a covert agent, Masashi, tries to unravel the disappearance of millions of people as the government closes in on him. In Rio De Janeiro, Marie searches for her final relative as time runs out. And on a deserted island in the South Pacific, Tom Wiseman, an avowed atheist, attempts to be rescued after his plane goes down. Bold in scope, FINAL will captivate you from the very first page to the stunning, tear-jerking end.

Nothing more to say as I think the final line in the trailer pretty much sums it up.

Actually, there is one more thing to say. What network news outlet has a teletype making a racket in the background during a live newscast in this day and age?

We've all seen the countless promotional materials for Godzilla featuring people staring upward to the sky and gazing in awe and sheer terror. Ever wonder what they're looking at? Finally the answer has come.

In theaters May 16, 2014, an epic rebirth to Toho’s iconic Godzilla, this spectacular adventure pits the world’s most famous monster against malevolent creatures who, bolstered by humanity’s scientific arrogance, threaten our very existence.

Making his first appearance in 1954 (Gojira), Godzilla is a giant monster that lives in the sea that comes from the ocean to feed on mankind.

Know what's great about amateur paranormal investigators? They're always doing silly things like visiting haunted locations, provoking evil, and dying horribly. There's a lot to be said for natural selection!

Jarno Lee Vinsencius writes and directs Evil Rising, which stars Demis Tzivis, Asko Päivio, Anna Lott, and Livia Emma Tsirk.

From Toy News International comes your first look at Japanese company Max Factory's take on the zombified version of Dawn of the Dead's Stephen Andrews (played in the film by David Emgee), better known as "Flyboy," from their Figma line.

The aforementioned figure line puts the emphasis on figures being able to move as good as they look through the usage of their specially designed and intricate Figma joints.
