New ‘Sharp Objects’ Poster Doesn’t Feel Very Welcoming

The new poster for HBO‘s upcoming series “Sharp Objects” might leave you feeling tense, and not sure why. While it looks normal enough, it feels like something is lurking just below the surface. The poster may say “welcome home”, but it doesn’t look very welcoming to me. Starring Amy Adams (Arrival), Patricia Clarkson (The Green Mile), April Brinson (The Veil), Violet Brinson (The Veil), and Matt Craven (X-Men: First Class), the series is from director Jean-Marc Vallée and written by Marti Noxon. “Based on the book by The New York Times bestselling author Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl, Dark Places), this eight-episode series tells the story of reporter Camille Preaker (Adams) who returns to her small hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls. Trying to put together a psychological puzzle from her past, she finds herself identifying with the young victims a bit too closely.” “Sharp Objects” is set to premiere July 8, 2018.

Mike Flanagan’s ‘Doctor Sleep’ Wakes Up To A Release Date

Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) was asked last year what other Stephen King novel he would like to adapt following his fantastic adaptation of King’s Gerald’s Game (review) for Netflix. His answer, Doctor Sleep, King’s sequel to The Shining. His wish was granted. Warner Bros. announced earlier this year that the film was on its way. Today, we’ve learned that the adaptation has landed a 2020 release date. “Doctor Sleep takes place years after the events at the Overlook Hotel and focuses on the now middle-aged Danny who is still traumatized. He’s followed in his father’s footsteps and has problems with anger management and alcoholism. He soon gives up drinking and settles in a small town in New Hampshire. While there, his psychic abilities start to resurface and he develops a psychic link with a 12-year-old girl named Abra Stone who he must save after he discovers her life is being threatened by a tribe of paranormals led by a man

Plot Details Surface For Halloween (2018)

Reports are coming in tonight about the plot of this year’s highly-anticipated movie Halloween, meant to be a direct sequel to the original. In the film, “Jamie Lee Curtis returns to her iconic role as Laurie Strode, who comes to her final confrontation with Michael Myers, the masked figure who has haunted her since she narrowly escaped his killing spree on Halloween night four decades ago.” Reportedly, this will be Laurie and Michael’s final showdown. Comicbook.com is reporting that Michael is never referred to by name, only as a “masked figure who has haunted her”, while all of the other films have implied that Laurie and Michael are siblings. Co-writer Danny McBride has already stated that “We’re kind of ignoring all the films past the first one,” He continued. ““It picks up after the first one, but it’s sort of an alternate reality. It’s as if the first Halloween ended in a slightly different way.” Virginia “Ginny” Garnder (Marvel’s Runaways),

With Sharknado 6, the final film of the franchise, approaching star Tara Reid sat down with me to discuss the movie, as well as some of the other films that she has starred in, and a few of the films she has coming out. Reid has starred in many roles on both TV and Film, including “Days of Our Lives”, The Big Lebowski, American Pie, Van Wilder, Urban Legend, “Scrubs”, Alone in the Dark, and of course, the Sharknado franchise.

I lived in New Jersey and started working when I was six. I went to auditions and everything in New York City. Then after high school, I moved out to L.A. to get to the place where we are talking on the phone right now.”

John Wick’s Chad Stahelcki & Colony’s Ryan Condal To Adapt ‘Analog’

John Wick director Chad Stahelcki is teaming up with “Colony” creator Ryan Condal for the adaptation of the sci-fi comic Analog, THR reports. Set in the near-future, “the security of the internet has been rendered useless thanks to an event referred to as the Great Doxxing. Out of those ashes, people turn to so-called Ledger Men, agents who carry sensitive secrets the old-fashioned way — with a briefcase handcuffed to one arm and a gun held in the other.” The first issue of Image Comic’s Analog, from writer Gerry Duggan and artist David O’Sullivan, was released in April.

Human Centipede Director Back With New Vile Film ‘The Onania Club’

Human Centipede may one of the most stomach-churning franchises ever made, but it sounds like it may have some competition. Director Tom Six (pictured below) has shared new details about his next project, The Onania Club, described as “inhumane”. While the plot is being kept under wraps, he has promised that the psychological thriller features “mostly strong female characters” and will “definitely pass the Bechdel test with flying colors.” Set in Hollywood, the film is said to be “one of the most vile, inhumane movie experiences of all time.” That’s saying a lot coming from the man who built a franchise about people having their mouths sewn to other people’s butts. The film stars Jessica Morris, Deborah Twiss, Darcy DeMoss, Flo Lawrence, and Karen Strassman, according to Indiewire. The first poster teases that sex will be a big party of the movie, after all, the tagline is “Come and see, see and come.” But Six is not new to controversy.
