Fans Are Not Happy With ‘Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City’

Johannes Roberts promised fans of the popular survival horror game series “Resident Evil” that the upcoming film Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City would be closer to the source material than Paul W.S. Anderson’s film series that pretty much had nothing to do with the games (a trend with his works based on video games). Fans were excited to learn that the film will combine the first two Resident Evil games and were pretty much on board with the film…till yesterday (August 30, 2021) when the first three production stills were released showing the cast and instantly divided fans. The one picture that really irked fans were the image of Resident Evil 2’s main heroes, Leon and Clair and fans were quick to show disappointment in the casting of Avan Jogia as Leon with many saying his appearance made him look more like Carlos (Resident Evil 3) than Leon. Some fans were also quick to criticize the appearance of the

Petition To Halt Release Of ‘Slender Man’ Movie Gains Momentum

A new online petition is calling for SONY Studios to halt the release of their upcoming horror movie Slender Man citing the incident that made headlines back in 2014 when Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser, both 12 years old at the time, tried to murder a friend and fellow classmate, Payton Leutner also age 12. The motive behind the attack that stunned their hometown of Waukesha, Wisconsin was that they wanted to become “proxies” to the fictional character Slender Man and prove their loyalty to him so their families will be spared by him. One of the film’s biggest critics and is said to have signed the petition himself is Anissa Weier’s father who calls the film “extremely distasteful” due to the fact that three families have been affected by this fictional character. Weier was sentenced to 25 years in a Mental Health facility after pleading guilty and subsequently found not guilty due to mental illness by a jury, Her

Sci-Fi Thriller, Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter, To Be Distributed By Sony

&feature=youtu.be What is Rogue Warrior: Robot Fighter? It’s a little bit Mad Max, a little bit Terminator and yes, even a little bit Star Wars. It’s a tale that takes place in the distant future, where artificial intelligence seeks to overthrow civilization not only here on Earth, but on other worlds as well. The film was written and directed by Niel Johnson, and features Tracey Birdsall as Sienna. Also featured is a supporting cast that includes William Kircher (The Hobbit), Daz Crawford (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Stephen Manley (Star Trek III: The Search for Spock), and Marilyn Ghiggliotti (CLERKS). Rogue Warrior very recently garnered several accolades at the Malibu West International Film Awards. Among those were Best Actress (Birdsall), Best Director (Johnson), Sound Design (Vic Kaspar and Dirk Kloiber) and the Unique Vision award (Johnson). On the heels of these festival wins comes good news concerning the film’s release. Sony Pictures has signed on to distribute the film (hopefully very early)

Blake Lively Stars In The Shallows – The Next Great Shark Movie

One of the things that made Jaws great was it’s realism. It truly made you think before you dipped your toes in the ocean again. Even though a lot of shark movies have come out over the past few years, they were all silly CGI jokes, like Sharnado. Now, a new film is looking to bring back the emotions that Jaws captured so flawlessly. Jaume Coliet-Serra’s new film The Shallows stars Blake Lively as an injured surfer, stranded on an islet. One thing is keeping her from swimming to shore, a huge Great White circling the islet. The Shallows is set to be released on June 24 by Sony Pictures, right in the middle of beach season.
