Jennifer Morrison Takes Up Residence at 6 Miranda DriveGreg McLean (Wolf Creek, Wolf Creek 2), one of my personal favorite filmmakers, heads into paranormal territory with the Blumhouse-produced 6 Miranda Drive, which has just found its latest resident. Read on!

The Wrap reports that "House M.D." and "How I Met Your Mother" star Jennifer Morrison has joined the cast of McLean's latest, which tells the tale of a family that returns home from a Grand Canyon vacation with a supernatural force in tow. Morrison will play one half of a fun-loving couple that joins the family on their summer getaway.

Feeding off their own fears, the evil presence which latches on to our heroes threatens to destroy them from within as it takes over their lives and home with terrifying results.

The flick, written and directed by McLean, stars the previously announced Kevin Bacon, Radha Mitchell, Matt Walsh, Lucy Fry and David Mazouz.

Look for more on this one soon!

Spanish Network Telemundo Launching Zombie Series Maria Between All of the DeadWith "The Walking Dead" doing so well for AMC, it was pretty much a given that other networks would hop on the bandwagon, and attempt to capitalize on the undead success. And the folks over on Telemundo are doing just that, with an upcoming zombie series en espanol. Read on!

Variety reports that the network's companion channel Mun2 is currently developing a "Walking Dead"-inspired zombie drama titled "Maria of the Dead" (Maria Entre Todos Los Muertos), part of the channel's attempt to add a little more edge to their programming.

Mun2’s spin revolves around a young woman who wakes up after a disastrous wedding day to discover that a zombie plague has taken over her country.

In a clip that ran Tuesday night at the Telemundo upfront presentation in New York, Maria battles zombies in her tattered wedding dress, with plenty of decolletage on display.

The series was created by Marlon Quintero for CIC Media.

Jeremy Irons and Sienna Miller Check into Ben Wheatley's High-RiseAs we learned last year, Sightseers and A Field in England director Ben Wheatley is currently working on an adaptation of JG Ballard's 1975 novel High-Rise, with Tom Hiddleston attached to star. Today, two new stars have come on board, and you'll find the latest by reading on!

Screen Daily reports that Oscar-winner Jeremy Irons and Sienna Miller will be joining Hiddleston in the British thriller, with production set to begin this coming July, in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The film centers on a new residential tower built on the eve of Margaret Thatcher’s rise to power, at the site of what will soon become the world’s financial hub. Designed as a luxurious solution to the problems of the city, it is a world apart.

Enter Robert Laing (Hiddleston), a young doctor seduced by the high-rise and its creator, the visionary architect Anthony Royal (Irons). Laing discovers a world of complex loyalties, and also strikes up a relationship with Royal’s devoted aide Charlotte (Miller).

But rot has set in beneath the flawless surface. Sensing discord amongst the tenants, Laing meets Wilder, a charismatic provocateur bent on inciting the situation. Wilder initiates Laing into the hidden life of the high-rise and Laing is shocked at what he sees. As the residents break into tribal factions, Laing finds himself in the middle of mounting violence. Violence that he also finds emerging in himself.

Additional casting is underway on the project, scripted by Wheatley’s wife and regular collaborator Amy Jump.

Official U.S. Rigor Mortis Trailer Stiffens Up

Rigor Mortis Sets In on VOD OutletsWe've had our eyes on Juno Mak's Hong Kong vampire flick Rigor Mortis for quite some time now as it looks to be a totally batshit crazy supernatural affair in the very best of ways. Don't believe us? Check out this new trailer! Read on!

Well Go USA has announced that they'll be releasing Rigor Mortis on VOD outlets June 6th along with a limited theatrical roll-out on the same day. The theatrical listings thus far include New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, and Honolulu.

Check out the film's poster art, trailer, and a gallery of stills below!

In this eerie and chilling contemporary action/special effects-laden homage to the classic Chinese vampire movies of the 1980’s, writer-director-producer Juno Mak makes his feature directorial debut. Co-produced by J-Horror icon Takashi Shimizu, and reuniting some of the original cast members of the classic Mr. Vampire series, Rigor Mortis is set in a creepy and moody Hong Kong public housing tower whose occupants, we soon discover, run the gamut from the living to the dead to the undead, along with ghosts, vampires, and zombies.

Synopsis
RIGOR MORTIS stars action movie veteran Chin Siu-ho (Siu-ho) as a former vampire hunting actor who now finds himself reaching the end of the line as a washed-up star, separated from his wife and alienated from his son. Down on his luck and with barely a dollar to his name, he checks into Room 2442 in the housing estate, an allegedly haunted flat. His aim is to end his misery by doing himself in, but instead Siu-ho is interrupted by some of the other "occupants" of the building including a Taoist master-exorcist (Anthony Chan), a traumatized housewife with a tragic past (Kara Hui), as well as a seemingly benign elderly woman (Paw Hee-ching) who has an empty coffin conspicuously hanging in the middle of her apartment. Soon it becomes apparent to Siu-ho that the people around him and the situation are far from normal. Despite his lack of belief in superstition, Siu-ho is soon thrust into the battle of his life as vicious vampires with unsettled business begin to rise from the dead...

Get a Sneak Peek of The Vampire Diaries Season Finale Episode 5.22 - HomeDoes anyone think Stefan is really dead on "The Vampire Diaries"? One person who does is Damon, who's trying to remedy the situation in this clip from the season finale, Episode 5.22, "Home." Check it out, and place your bets!

"The Vampire Diaries" Episode 5.22 - "Home" (airs 5/15/14, 8-9pm):AN EXPLOSIVE SEASON FINALE — Heartbroken by an unexpected tragedy, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is focused on holding himself together, while pushing Bonnie (Kat Graham) harder than ever to find a way to stop the disintegration of the Other Side.

Elena (Nina Dobrev) takes matters into her own hands and demands that Liv (guest star Penelope Mithcell) and Luke (guest star Chris Broshu) help her, but Liv refuses to cooperate until Caroline (Candice Accola) provides her with some personal motivation.

Sheriff Forbes (guest star Marguerite MacIntyre) is horrified when Markos (guest star Raffi Barsoumian) uses violence against Tyler/Julian (Michael Trevino) to prove that Mystic Falls is now under the control of the Travelers. With new information from Sheriff Forbes, Damon comes up with a dangerous plan that relies on split-second timing from Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) and Matt (Zach Roerig).

Liv’s off-hand remark regarding Stefan (Paul Wesley) gets a surprisingly emotional response from Caroline, and as conditions on the Other Side worsen, Bonnie takes the opportunity to settle an old score.

Finally, Damon’s plan causes a massive explosion in Mystic Falls, and everyone is caught up in the confusion, leaving a trail of heroism, sacrifice, relief, and despair. Chris Grismer directed the episode written by Caroline Dries and Brian Young.

Nicolas Winding Refn Bringing the Elisa Lam Story to the Screen

0
0

If you haven't heard about the truly mysterious case of Elisa Lam, consider yourself lucky as it's haunted me ever since the news broke back in 2013. Simply put the story is the most frighteningly weird one I've ever heard of. Right now we have an update regarding the big screen telling.

According to Deadline Nicolas Winding Refn is in early talks to direct The Bringing, the horror movie spec by Brandon and Phillip Murphy that Sony Pictures acquired in a competitive bidding battle in February. Matt Tolmach is producing with First Born Films’ Daniela Cretu. This is the one that got the town whipped into a frenzy partly because its catalyst was a widely circulated video of a young woman who displayed erratic behavior in an elevator at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, the place where such killers as Richard Ramirez called home at one time or other, and where numerous suicides have occurred. The woman, Elisa Lam, was found dead in the water tanks at the roof of the hotel. The script has nothing really to do with that that tragedy but it created a germ of an idea focusing on a man investigating a death at the hotel, and the nightmare he stumbles into.

Refn must have seen the video (which you can watch below), because while the director of Drive, Valhalla Rising and Bronson is usually courted for projects, he sought this one out. From his Copenhagen home, he is a horror connoisseur who badly wants to make a terrifying film.

For those of you who aren't familiar with this case...

Lam, who was only 21, was last seen at the Cecil Hotel on January 31st, 2013, according to L.A. police. Her parents had reported her missing, and her body was discovered, nude and floating in the water tower of the hotel (a drinking source for residents), where she apparently was for two weeks. Now, if you can believe it, here’s where the story gets REALLY disturbing.

Lam’s final moments were caught on the elevator security camera of the hotel. The footage you see below was taken moments before her death. In it you’ll see Lam acting very strangely. She appears to be running from or hiding from someone... or something. Most perplexing about the video is that the door stays open the entire time, nearly four minutes. Then Lam contorts into some really frightening way that has to be seen to really be described, and the elevator doors shut. Then open and shut several times before the video ends. Watch the video, and then I’ll tell you about how this story gets even stranger.

A maintenance worker discovered the body while looking into complaints about the water pressure in the building. Guests had been drinking and bathing with water contaminated by a body that had been decomposing for nearly two weeks. So how did she get there? The water tower on top of the building was 15 feet high and locked. To gain access to said tower, Lam would have had to have passed silently through two locked and alarmed doors first. Apparently she did so. All doors were still locked. No alarms were ever tripped. There are 100's of stories about this on the internet reported by every reputable news agency that there is. Some people say she was possessed or attacked by a ghost. If this is the case, then this is the only known footage of such an occurrence.

In the end her death was ruled as “accidental.” Mind you, her clothes were never found. Nothing about this story makes any sense.

Here are more videos on the incident:

Twin Peaks: The Entire Mystery Blu-ray Box Sex Dated For This SummerBlu-ray news doesn't often get better than this announcement of Twin Peaks: The Complete Mystery box set. Especially for those of us who've long pined for that infamous Fire Walk With Me missing footage.

EW reports that Twin Peaks: The Complete Mystery Blu-ray set will be available to own starting on July 29th. For the first time the complete series run will be packaged with the prequel movie, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Even better, FWWM will feature a brand new transfer supervised by director David Lynch and, at long last, nearly 90 minutes of deleted footage and alternate takes (included as an extra).

Peaks fans have obsessed over this notorious footage for more than 20 years. It's hard to believe that today we're only a few months away from seeing it all. This is probably the last bit of "new" material that the world of Twin Peaks is going to get, so have an extra cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie today in anticipation. Oh, and check out the teaser trailer below, which includes just a taste of what we'll be seeing on July 29th.

We don't have a complete list of specs as of yet, but can check out the official Tumblr and watch this space for more info as it lands.
