Sony Finally Releasing ‘Patient Zero’ Starring Matt Smith.

We’ve been reporting on Sony’s contagion horror film Patient Zero for years now and wondering if we would ever see it. After several delays, Sony is finally releasing the 2015 movie starring Matt Smith (“Doctor Who,” Terminator Genisys) and Academy Award nominee Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games). Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones”), John Bradley (“Game of Thrones”), and Agyness Deyn co-star. The Stefan Ruzowitzky-directed flick follows “An unprecedented global pandemic of a super strain of rabies has turned the majority of humankind into highly intelligent, streamlined killers known as ‘The Infected.’ One victim, Morgan (Matt Smith), who is asymptomatic and can communicate with the infected, leads the last survivors on a hunt for Patient Zero and a cure.” Patient Zero is going straight to Blu-ray and DVD on October 23, 2018.

Luca Guadagnino’s ‘Suspiria’ Made Quentin Tarantino Cry

Luca Guadagnino‘s Suspiria is still months away from opening in theaters, but a few people have already seen it, including Quentin Tarantino who has given it a rave review. While talking to the Italian outlet La Repubblica, the director revealed that he shared his version of Dario Argento’s classic to Tarantino. I showed it to Quentin Tarantino. We’ve been friends since our jury duty at the Venice Film Festival,” Guadagnino said. “I was nervous but eager to hear his advice. We saw it at his place and his reaction warmed me.
