Teaser Trailer for FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S Starring Josh Hutcherson



Looks intriguing.

Never played the game, but I know the gist of it by watching some of the Game Theory videos.

MatPat really milked that series for all its worth. I stopped paying attention after the dozenth one.

I used to work up in Osage County . . . rumor has it that there are several folks I used to work with who are in the movie as extras (like Reservation Dogs). Pretty cool that this is finally getting out there.

Just dropping this here to display how kids with camera phones and basic editing software are making better Star Wars content than Disney with tens of millions of dollars.
 
I just finished 'Batman - Doom That Came To Gotham' and without a doubt its the most bizarre Batman movie.



This is a completely new version of Batman and it takes place in the 1930s, with Bruce returning to Gotham for the first time since his parents died 20 years ago.

I'd say its like Batman mixed with Van Helsing (the 2005 movie) and..... Ghostbusters 2?!?

I don't have many examples to back up the comparison to Ghostbusters 2, for some reason a few moments reminded me of it.

As for Van Helsing, that's the biggest difference between this version of Batman and everything that's come before.
Ancient cult? Check.
Giant monsters? Check.
Conspiracy? Check.
A human becoming a giant bat? Check.

Not sure if DC if going to continue this into a series, but if they don't this is undoubtedly the most unique version of the character.

 
Ray Stevenson, Actor in Punisher: War Zone, Rome and Thor Films, Dies at 58

Ray Stevenson, the burly British actor who starred as Volstagg in the Thor movies and as the brutally evil governor in the recent Oscar-winning Indian hit RRR, has died. He was 58.

Stevenson died Sunday, four days shy of his birthday, his publicist Nicki Fioravante told The Hollywood Reporter. The Italian newspaper La Repubblica reported he had been hospitalized on the island of Ischia while in production on the film Cassino on Ischia, directed by Frank Ciota.

No other details of his death were immediately available.

The 6-foot-3 actor was an imposing presence onscreen and commanded attention when he took to the stage in April for a public appearance at Star Wars Celebration in London. He is one of the main antagonists in the upcoming Star Wars series Ahsoka.

“Getting to wield the light saber is just the best feeling in the world,” he said then. “The first time they handed it to me for the camera test, I couldn’t help myself, I made the noise.”

Stevenson became known to U.S. audiences as the charming, if morally questionable, soldier Titus Pullo on the big-budget 2005-07 HBO series Rome.

A year after that series ended, he was onscreen in Punisher: War Zone (2008) as Marvel antihero Frank Castle, and he would return to the Marvel well several more times with small roles in Thor (2011) as Volstagg, a member of Thor’s pals known as the Warriors Three. He last played the part in Thor: Ragnarok (2017).

He was a regular supporting player in multiple franchises, popping up in G.I. Joe: Retaliation (2013) as the classic toy character Firefly and in Divergent (2014) and its two sequels, The Divergent Series: Insurgent (2015) and The Divergent Series: Allegient (2016) as Marcus Eaton.

He played Scott Buxton, the brutal and racist governor and villain in RRR (2022), the action movie that became a sensation on Netflix, one of the highest-grossing films in India, and an awards contender that captured the best song prize at the Oscars.

Production had only recently begun on Cassino on Ischia, in which Stevenson was playing an older action movie star who seeks to revitalize his career by going to Italy to make a gritty film only to be forced to reckon with family drama. He was also recently cast to replace Kevin Spacey in the feature 1242: Gateway to the West.

Why? Did the first one not accomplish its message as well as it possibly could? This is just more cash grab nonsense. There is no way they improve on the original.
 
Official Trailer for Danny and Michael Philippou's Horror Film TALK TO ME

 


Despite having been born in 1982 I never saw the animated version, so I was able to judge this one on its own merits. It was OK. Halle Bailey has some pipes on her.

BTW, the chick playing the human-disguise version of Ursula stole all 5 minutes she was on screen. Talk about understanding the fucking assignment.
