That was the idea when Jesse’s friends convinced her to not let a broken engagement stand in the way of enjoying her prepaid honeymoon. Their sorrows weren’t the only thing going to drown on their trip, especially with a man-eating shark swimming just below the surface.” The action-packed survival film stars Nicky Whelan (Halloween II), musician/actor Trace Adkins (I Can Only Imagine), Jeff Fahey (“Lost”), and Shane West (Escape the Field). Maneater swims into theaters, on to Digital, and On Demand on August 26, 2022, from Saban Films.

She will star in Prime Video’s upcoming psychological thriller House of Spoils, from Amazon Studios and Blumhouse Television. “The film follows an ambitious chef (DeBose) who opens her first restaurant — a farm-to-table affair on a remote estate — where she battles kitchen chaos, a dubious investor and crushing self doubt.

Bend Studios’ 2019 zombie game Days Gone is heading to the big screen for a film adaptation with “Outlander” star Sam Heughan currently in talks to star as Deacon St. John, according to Deadline. Oscar-nominee Sheldon Turner (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning, Up in the Air) is penning the script for Sony PlayStation. Set in the Pacific Northwest after a global pandemic, “The game chronicles former motorcycle club member, Deacon St. John, as he fights to survive against the forces of despair and mutated, predatory humans in his quest to find the long lost, presumed dead, love of his life.” Deadline also states that, “Turner’s script will be a love ballad to motorcycle movies; the bike being Deacon’s sole form of transportation, his horse in this would-be, modern-day western.” The movie was pitched as “The Walking Dead” meets “Sons of Anarchy.’ Vendetta Productions is producing along with Sony PlayStation Productions. We’ll keep you posted.

Your wish is our command, especially if your wish is to watch the new clip and featurette from Three Thousand Years of Longing, starring Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton. In the film directed by George Miller (Mad Max) who co-wrote the film with Augusta Gore, “Dr. Alithea Binnie (Tilda Swinton) is an academic – content with life and a creature of reason. While in Istanbul attending a conference, she happens to encounter a Djinn (Idris Elba) who offers her three wishes in exchange for his freedom. This presents two problems. First, she doubts that he is real and second, because she is a scholar of story and mythology, she knows all the cautionary tales of wishes gone wrong. The Djinn pleads his case by telling her fantastical stories of his past. Eventually she is beguiled and makes a wish that surprises them both.” Based upon the short story “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” by A.S. Byatt, Three Thousand Years

I’ll admit, when I first learned that a prequel was in the works for the unforgettable and utterly unnerving movie Orphan, I was skeptical on many levels. Now that it’s out today, I can give you my two cents. I was wondering how director William Brent Bell would pull off transforming a now 13 year older Isabelle Fuhrman into an even younger Esther than in the 2009 horror. The answer, a de-aging program, makeup and lighting. Unfortunately, all the special effects just didn’t do the job. The character looks much older in First Kill than she did in the first movie. Which isn’t good seeing that First Kill is meant to be set years prior to the original. Warning mild spoilers! In First Kill we are introduced to the family previous to the one in Orphan. After escaping an asylum, Fuhrman’s character picks a child on a missing persons website and sets out to steal her identity and her family.
