October’s such a great month! Not only does Halloween provide the perfect excuse to get dressed up all sexy-like but the theaters are also full of horror movies!
Speaking of which, check out this trailer for the upcoming horror anthology Tales of Halloween! It’ll be coming out on October 16th and, among the ten directors contributing: Mike Mendez, who directed the great Big Ass Spider, The Descent‘s Neil Marshall, and The Woods‘s Lucky McKee!
I can hardly wait!
“When civilization ends…it ends fast.”
It was just a matter of time before AMC decided to mine their massive hit of a show, The Walking Dead, with spin-off to maximize it’s dominance over the tv landscape. We’ve been getting teasers leading up to San Diego Comic-Con where AMC released the first official trailer for this spin-off series titled Fear The Walking Dead.
This spin-off series will pull back time from the original series and have it set in the very beginning of the zombie outbreak which leads to the fall of civilization by the time Rick awakes from his weeks-long coma. It will also have it’s location as far and different from the backwoods and backroads of Georgia to Virginia where The Walking Dead is set. Instead this new series will have sunny Los Angeles as the setting. What better location than one of the most densely populated areas in the United States to show the first days and weeks of The Walking Dead timeline.
Unlike some who seem to be getting tired of the zombie craze of the past decade or so, I and a few others here at Through the Shattered Lens still enjoy this zombie apocalypse renaissance. Maybe it’s the inner doomsday preppers in some of us here in TSL that makes these types of shows and stories appealing.
Will Fear The Walking Dead succeed just as much as it’s older sibling? We shall find out when it premieres this August 23rd.
“Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?” — Rick Grimes
AMC has unveiled it’s official trailer for the 6th season of TV’s most popular show (so popular that it even beats Sunday Night Football on occasion) during it’s San Diego Comic-Con panel at Hall H.
Last we left the Grimes crew saw Rick Grimes get the go-ahead from Alexandria Safe-Zone leader Deanna Monroe to shoot wife-batterer and neck-slashing Pete in his face. It would’ve been quite a satisfying event if not for Rick’s first BFF, Morgan Jones, suddenly appearing out of the shadows to see him do the deed. This is the same Morgan who went from crazy clear to zen clear who thought all life that wasn’t undead was precious.
So, now season 6 is almost upon us fellow fans of the show and it looks like Rick is turning out to be Alexandria’s shogun with Deanna as the figurehead leader.
Will Rick’s Shane-like attitude to leading this expanded group of survivors be a blessing or be the downfall of another safe-haven for the Grimes Gang? There’s still the Wolves out there who now knows where they are. There’s also the looming shadow of the comic book’s Negan and his Saviors possibly making their appearance which could mean just one thing: WAR.
So, grab those ribs and thick-cut steaks and take a big bite and enjoy the trailer.
Here are the latest teasers for AMC’s Fear the Walking Dead! As you can see, the walkers have arrived! (The show itself will arrive in August.)
Actually, I don’t know if Tom Hanks really saves America in Steven Spielberg’s latest film. But it does sound like something that Tom Hanks would do, doesn’t it?
Will Southpaw get Jake Gyllenhaal the Oscar nomination that he deserved for Nightcrawler?
Hmmm…it’s hard to say. The Academy definitely owes Gyllenhaal for snubbing him earlier this year. But Southpaw doesn’t necessarily look like an Oscar nominee. Instead, it looks like … well, it looks like every other melodramatic boxing film that’s ever been made.
But, still — I’ll see it when it’s released on July 24th. At this point, I’ll watch Jake Gyllenhaal in just about anything…
(Except for Love and Other Drugs. Don’t even get me started on that…)
Anyway, here’s the latest trailer for Southpaw!
Somehow, I had totally missed the fact that they were even making a Goosebumps movie. But apparently they are because a trailer was released earlier today!
And guess what?
Jack Black is playing R.L. Stine!
Check out the trailer below….
Now, I asked that question on July 1st and you know what? Obama has yet to give me an answer, which I guess means that I now know how I’ll be voting in 2016. Maybe our President will reconsider his position after watching the latest trailer for Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No!
I’m a huge fan of Werner Herzog and Nicole Kidman is a fellow members of the 2% so I’m really hoping that the early negative word on Queen of The Desert will turn out to be incorrect. Check out the latest trailer below:
London Has Fallen, the sequel to Olympus Has Fallen, will not be opening until 2016. But, until then, we can enjoy this trailer! It’s fun and exciting in the way that action film trailers often are, promising us a world of thrills that the actual film will probably not deliver.
But until the disillusionment sets in, enjoy this trailer for London Has Fallen!
