Theatrical Trailers and Clips
Really? I was gone for two weeks and not a single new theatrical trailer came out? I must have missed something…
Studio News and Attachments
- A Bigger Boat’s first production will be Adam Green’s FROZEN, which is superficially described as OPEN WATER in a ski lift. Except probably without sharks.
- Warner Brothers picks up a Sci-Fi spec script called THE DAY BEFORE about, and I quote, “aliens invading Earth by traveling backwards through time and wiping out humanity — yesterday by yesterday — while one man stays a yesterday ahead of them”. Sold!
- Josh Brolin’s new found Hollywood clout booted Nevaldine and Taylor off of JONAH HEX?
- After Dark’s PERKIN’S 14 attempting to hide its shot on HD vibe with a retro poster.
- Speaking of, After Dark picks its non-English language flick: Korea’s SOMEONE BEHIND YOU, which they’ve retitled to VOICES. Because that is a lot scarier…
