If you ask me, and no one did, the Trost Brothers’ 2011
dystopian gang dance off, The FP, doesn’t get nearly the love
it should. This should be raised to bona-fide cult status by now. Last year, we
heard they’re working to Beat-Beat a sequel into reality, and it sounds like their
efforts were successful. The FP 2, titled Beats of
Rage, has a badass new poster and a ton of fresh details.
Does Scott Adkins sleep? Serious question. Because the dude
always has like 5000 projects in the works. And I want to see all of them
because they all involve him kicking people in the face. But sometimes there
are rumblings of one film or another that never materialize. I get it, movies
in development don’t always make it to the finish line, especially in the DTV
realm in which he plies his trade. About a year ago, we heard tales of an Adkins-fronted
sci-fi adventure called Incoming, but that was the last word
on the matter. Until today. Now there’s a new poster. Which means this is happening.
Which means we’re going to see Scott Adkins pummel villains in space. Which
combines most of my favorite things in this world. Or out of this world.
(Sorry.)
I’m always game for a new Scott Adkins movie. And I’m always
game for a new Marko Zaror movie. Put them together, like in the upcoming period
actioner Savage Dog, and I start salivating like, well, a
hungry dog. Currently in production, a new marketing poster for the film
appeared on the airwaves. Check it out below.
Whatever he wants to do, I will watch Iko Uwais do it.
Fortunately for me, at least as far as movies go, that usually involves him
kicking the crap out of people. And I support that. The latest cinematic endeavor
for The Raid star, the hyper-violent revenge yarn
Headshot, helmed by the Mo Brothers (Macabre,
Killers), makes its premiere at the Toronto International
Film Festival next week, and in advance of that, there’s a badass new poster to
gawk at.
Na Hong-jin may not be as familiar as his countrymen Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho, and Kim Jee-woon. But when it comes to grim,
bad-as-hell South Korean thrillers, he’s near the top of the heap alongside
those distinguished gentlemen. He doesn’t get name dropped like he should, but
The Chaser and The Yellow Sea are two of
the best suspenseful, gritty actioners out of that country in a while—Park,
Bong, and Kim have expanded beyond South Korea’s borders to varying degrees,
but Na is holding it down for the time being. He hasn’t made a movie in a few
years, but he’s back with The Wailing (Goksung), which looks right up my alley, and has a
fantastic new trailer (okay, it’s been out for a bit, but it’s new to me).
Take a look.
I’m not the biggest fans of remakes and reboots and
reimaginings in general, especially of movies I love, and John “Die
Hard” McTiernan’s 1987 action classic Predator is
a formative force in my life. But since another one is happening, the fact that
it’s in the capable hands of Shane Black (Iron Man 3,
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and who actually appeared in
Predator) and Fred Dekker (Monster Squad,
Night of the Creeps), is about as comfortable as I’ll get.
The long-in-the-works project just dropped a new poster and a bit of a name
tweak.
Well, the Bad Robot mystery box is back at it again. There’s
been talk of a secretive Cloverfield tie-in coming for some
time, but we just got a new trailer, poster, and imminent release date for the
project, apparently called 10 Cloverfield Lane (it was
earlier known by the title Valencia). Who knows how this
connects to the found footage monster movie, or if that’s just a tease, but
this first look is something I’m totally into.
Tonight we get our first look at the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer, which is an exciting prospect. Sure, we’ll
probably walk away with more questions than answers, but what the hell, new
Star Wars footage. Just to tide you over until then,
however, over the weekend Lucasfilm revealed a new poster and three short
clips, presumably footage from the trailer. Check them out below.
I could talk all day about how fucking great the New Zealand
heavy metal horror flick Deathgasm is, and in fact I have
shouted my love for this film from every mountain top I can climb. (Cards on
the table, I’m in bad shape, so any real mountains I climbe are not particularly
tall or numerous, but metaphorically, there are many.) If you want to know my
thoughts, read my review here. With a theatrical release on the horizon, there
is a new poster making the rounds that perfectly encapsulates what the film is
all about. Take a look below.
Can I get a Hell Yeah, or an Amen, or a Fuck Yes, or even a
smug, satisfied nod? Samurai Cop 2: Deadly Vengeance just
dropped a new poster and now we know when we’ll get to see the long-awaited
sequel. At least when some of us will get to see it.
Easily one of the most entertaining movies I’ve seen so far
this year is the post-apocalyptic Turbo Kid. After debuting
at Sundance it finally has a release date and just got an awesome new poster
that totally captures the madness, mayhem, and fun of the movie. Take a look
after the jump.
