David Gordon Green is not the only filmmaker with an Exorcist film coming out.
The Asylum also has an Exorcist film coming up and if I have to choose between the two, you know that I’m going to go with The Asylum every time!
Here’s the the trailer for The Exorcists, from the Asylum:
To be honest, I’m not really sure that we need a film version of the prequel to The Hunger Games. The first two Hunger Games adaptations were excellent but the two-part conclusion was a bit of a bore. The only thing that really set The Hunger Games apart from any of the other YA dystopian adaptations out there was the presence of actors like Jennifer Lawrence, Donald Sutherland, Woody Harrelson, and Philip Seymour Hoffman and none of them are going to be in the prequel.
That said, everything gets a prequel nowadays and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is due to be released in November of this year. So, for all of you who were like, “I wish I knew more about President Snow’s youth,” have at it!
Here’s the just-released second trailer:
Impuratus, which is due to be released on October 10th, features one of the final performances from the late Tom Sizemore. Here’s the trailer!
Yesterday, I shared the trailer for Butcher’s Crossing, a Nicolas Cage western.
Today, I’m sharing a trailer for another Nicolas Cage film. Dream Scenario made quite an impression on the critics when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, with several critics saying that it was the best film to feature Cage since Pig. The film features Cage as a professor who becomes famous when he starts showing up in people’s dreams and it is being distributed by A24, who triumphed at this year’s Oscar ceremony with Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Dream Scenario is set to be released in November. Here’s the trailer!
“Welcome to Jerome!”
Woman In The Maze is an upcoming horror film about a woman who visits America’s biggest ghost town and ends up staying in a house that apparently does not want her to leave. The house is so intent on keeping her there that it turns into a maze.
The same thing seems to happen to me whenever I stay at a hotel. You don’t know want to know how many times I’ve gotten off on the wrong floor and tried to enter the wrong room!
Here’s the trailer for this film, which is due to be released on October 6th!
The upcoming film, Miranda’s Victim, takes a look at the crime that was at heart of the Supreme Court’s once-infamous Miranda decision. Trish Weir (played by Abigail Breslin) was raped by Ernesto Miranda (Sebastian Quinn). Miranda confessed to the crime will being interrogated but his conviction was overturned by the Supreme Court, who decided that Miranda had not been fully informed of his rights. Ernesto Miranda is the reason why we still hear talk of whether or not a suspect had been properly “mirandized.” Told from the point of view of Trish, the film appears to be offering up a perspective that is far too often ignored when it comes to films about “miscarriages of justice.” That Ernesto Miranda become a cause célèbre for some does not make him any less guilty of the crime that he committed.
This is one of those films that seems like it was made specifically to appeal to me. Along with the story’s historical context, the cast is full of intriguing names. Along with Abigail Breslin and Sebastian Quinn, supporting roles are played by Luke Wilson, Kyle MacLachlan, Ryan Phillipe, Mireille Enos, Emily VanCamp, Andy Garcia, and Donald Sutherland. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing Kyle MacLachlan’s performance as Earl Warren.

Really? We’ve got a second Nicolas Cage western coming out this year?
Actually, Butcher’s Crossing has been on the festival circuit since last year and, critically, it’s been slightly better received than The Old Way. Based on a 1960 novel, it features Cage as a buffalo hunter who becomes a mentor of sorts to a young Harvard grad who has decided to experience the old west for himself. None other than Cormac McCarthy cited the novel as being a favorite of his. This could be an intriguing role for Cage.
Here’s the trailer!
John Carpenter’s Suburban Screams is an upcoming horror anthology, in which “true” tales of horror are dramatized. I’m not really sure how involved John Carpenter really is with the production but his name in the title is enough to ensure that I’ll be watching the premiere on October 13th.
Here’s the trailer!
The trailer for Aquaman and The Lost Kingdom dropped today. Much like the first Wonder Woman, the first Aquaman was one of the few DC films that felt worth the effort to sit through. Will the second Aquaman film continue that tradition or will it be more like the second Wonder Woman? We’ll find out soon enough.
Here’s the trailer!
October approaches and, with it, a whole bunch of new horror films that are undoubtedly hoping to launch a franchise. The trailer for Dark Harvest features a killer known as Sawtooth Jack. Judging from this trailer, Sawtooth Jack has little in common with Great Pumpkin.
Dark Harvest will be digitally available on October 13th!
