Actor-Writer-Director Aaron Wolf Talks About His Upcoming Film ‘TAR’ In An Interview
I recently sat down for an interview with Aaron Wolf, actor-writer and director of the upcoming film Tar, a movie about a monster released during construction near the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles. Wolf gave us a lot of insight into the film, photos from the set and more. Synopsis: In the murky depths of Los Angeles’ world-famous La Brea Tar Pits there lies an ancient secret – a creature that, once awakened, emerges to wreak havoc on the modern metropolis. For 40,000 years, a long forgotten wetland teemed with ancient creatures, but now all that’s left is a pit of hot, sticky tar surrounded by a vast urban landscape. For Barry Greenwood and his son Zach, there’s not much left of their family business either. With the city’s subway expanding under their feet and their office building slated for demolition, Barry, Zach and their employees are forced to shut down their shop and move out. Three family

We’ve been following the development of FOX’s vampire series The Passage for a while now. Back in May we revealed plot details. Now, we can report that Saved by the Bell alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar will star in the lead role as an FBI Agent, Variety reports.

New Alien Horror Movie ‘Fighting the Sky’ Releases Trailers
Two very different trailers give glimpses into Conrad Faraj and David Matthew Cummings film ‘Fighting the Sky’. A movie about aliens, the first trailer give a feeling of hope and excitement with careful wariness about the future; the second trailer is straight up horror. My guess is that the searchers look for UFO’s (first trailer) and it goes drastically wrong (second trailer). “A group of young ufologists explore a series of apocalyptic sounds emerging from the sky. For years, all around the world, people have heard and recorded a thundering sound that emits from the sky without any origin or explanation. Even the scientists are stumped, folks, and the strange part is the media is ignoring it. Something is going on, and that something will be explored in Fighting The Sky.” Starring Angela Cole, Roger Conners, Matthew Ward, Nicole Ann Hicks, Alison Headrick, Jinette Faraj, Judith Faraj, Brianna Burke, Bailey Weaver, Logan Roberts, Ed Conrad, Larry Cahill. Right now, the

‘The Conjuring 3’ Will Be Very Different From Its Predecessors
The Conjuring franchise is quickly becoming one of the biggest franchises in the genre. The number of spin-offs keeps multiplying including Annabelle and Annabelle 2: Creation, The Nun which has entered production, and a possible Crooked Man film in the works. Now, The Conjuring is getting a third film. During an interview with CinemaBlend, producer Peter Safran talks about the next installment that will continue to explore the supernatural and paranormal investigations by Ed and Loraine Warren, played by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, and how The Conjuring 3 will be very different from its predecessors. There are some [cases] that maybe aren’t as well known, but they spent a fair bit of time researching and were part of [them]. Clearly, we can’t do another haunted house movie, right? We can’t do another supernatural possession in a house, with a family in peril. Right? So, it’s got to be something different than that, I think. There are a lot of

Two Sisters Struggle To Survive In The Trailer For ’12 Feet Deep’
With summer approaching, a lot of films feature settings like the beach, the ocean, or camps on a lake. 12 Feet Deep is going a different route, sort of. Formerly titled The Deep End, 12 Feet Deep aims a little closer to home, a swimming pool. Seems pretty safe right?
