Body horror fans, get ready for a new trip into shock cinema. Julia Ducournau, who directed the visceral horror films Raw and Titane, saddles up to release her third film, Alpha. Titane was a milestone for the filmmaker as she became the second woman director to win the Palme d’Or at Cannes. FilmNation and Charades presented Alpha to potential buyers at the Cannes market, and it was reported that the indie studio, Neon, would come out with the distribution rights to the film. Now, Neon has released a brand new foreboding teaser trailer for the film. You can view it above.

Alpha stars Tahar Rahim, Golshifteh Farahani, Mélissa Boros, Emma Mackey, Finnegan Oldfield and Louai El Amrousy. The plot description reads, “Alpha. A troubled 13-year-old lives with her single mom. Their world collapses the day she returns from school with a tattoo on her arm.” Sounds like a basic plot for a family drama, but Ducournau is known for taking some wildly crazy turns with her films and the teaser, of course, implies that a lot more is going on.

Jean des Forêts and Amelie Jacquis of Petit Film are on board as producers of Alpha. Joining them will be Eric & Nicolas Altmayer of Mandarin & Compagnie and Frakas Productions will be co-producing. Charades and FilmNation Entertainment have also handled sales in the rest of the world during the Cannes Film Festival. Last year, FilmNation Entertainment and Charades provided the following statement: “Alpha is Julia’s most personal, profound work yet, and we are looking forward to a global audience discovering the story with as much excitement as we did. We can’t wait to bring the film to market in Cannes and to launch sales together for the first time and collaborate in this way.“ 

So, for an idea of what kind of film this might turn out to be, we can only look back at the films Ducournau made previously. Her first movie, Raw, had the following synopsis: Stringent vegetarian Justine encounters a decadent, merciless and dangerously seductive world during her first week at veterinary school. Desperate to fit in, she strays from her principles and eats raw meat for the first time. The young woman soon experiences terrible and unexpected consequences as her true self begins to emerge.

Then Titane told this story: Alexia is a dancer who, after being injured in a car accident as a child, has a titanium plate fitted into her head. Amidst a series of brutal and unexplained murders, her path crosses with Vincent, a firefighter desperately searching for his long-missing son, changing their lives forever.

Despite death taking a fourteen-year holiday from the big screen as far as the Final Destination franchise went, the saga is alive and well. As we predicted earlier this week, Final Destination: Bloodlines, the sixth entry in the series – and the first in fourteen years – set a major franchise record, opening to a mighty $51 million. By comparison, the highest-grossing opening weekend of the franchise had previously been The Final Destination back in 2009, which made $27.4 million. Bloodlines’ opening weekend take is actually more than what Final Destination 2 and 5 made in their entire runs.

One thing is for sure – audiences are loving the franchise’s return. Typically, horror movies don’t fare well in the weekly CinemaScore polls done by the studios, with a grade in the C-range usually considered typical. Final Destination: Bloodlines managed to score a B+ rating, which is terrific and bodes well for word-of-mouth, meaning the film could end its run in the $100 million range. Even if not through, it will easily end its run as the highest-grossing film in the franchise to date, and will no doubt have WB/New Line Cinema rushing to get yet another instalment in the franchise out within a year or two (at max). 

Meanwhile, the battle for second place was a nail-biter, with Marvel’s Thunderbolts winning – but only by a hair – with them making $16.5 million in their third weekend for a $155 million domestic total. It seems unlikely to crack the $200 million mark, leaving this as one of the lowest-grossing Marvel movies. A lot of its thunder was taken by the zeitgeist-grabbing Sinners, which got back its 70mm IMAX screens this weekend, and made $15.4 million towards a $240 million domestic total. Is $300 million achievable? 

Indeed, Warner Bros was having a very good weekend, with them claiming three of the top four grossing movies at the box office, as A Minecraft Movie made $5.9 million for fourth place, with a $416 million domestic total. Amazon/MGM’s The Accountant 2 continued to show some staying power, making $4.5 million for fifth place, with the $58.7 million total not far off from what the studio’s The Beekeeper made in January 2024. Could The Accountant 3 still happen? Fingers crossed!

The Weeknd’s big screen debut, Hurry Up Tomorrow, posted an abysmal opening, with only $3.3 million this weekend on over 2000 screens. We slammed the movie pretty harshly in our review, and audiences seemed to feel the same way, with it earning a C-minus CinemaScore rating. A24 – after a rough start to the year. – finally seems to have a hit with the Tim Robinson/ Paul Rudd comedy, Friendship, which made $1.4 million on only 60 screens, meaning it had a terrific $23k per screen average.

Sadly, IFC/Shudder’s Clown in a Cornfield lost over 60% of its audience in week two for a $1.3 million gross and $6.3 million total. However, it’s still one of the highest-grossing IFC/Shudder releases to date, and it should make a mint on streaming. The Fathom re-release of Kiki’s Delivery Service proved to be another winner for the company, scoring just over a million dollars. The top ten was rounded off by Until Dawn, which made $800k for a total of just under $20 million.

Next weekend should be huge, as there are two major Memorial Day openings happening between Disney’s live-action Lilo & Stitch remake and Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning. Which one is the priority for you next weekend? Let us know in the comments!

The post Weekend Box Office: Final Destination sets a record; Hurry Up Tomorrow bombs appeared first on JoBlo.

This weekend, the Final Destination franchise returns to the big screen after a fourteen-year absence. So far, the results have been beyond impressive, with it looking like the new film has a real shot at making more in a single weekend than other instalments made in their entire run. Clearly, absence has made the heart grow fonder in the case of this franchise. It’s not too hard to see why this franchise has suddenly come back in a massive way. Who doesn’t like creative, gory deaths done tongue-in-cheek style? 

Earlier this week, we dropped our list of the best Final Destination deaths (not including the new movie), and now we want to know which film in the series is the best as far as the fans go? Are people nostalgic for the one that started it all with Devon Sawa, or are the gorier sequels more in line with what our readers like? Or – is Final Destination: Bloodlines the best of the bunch? Take the poll below and let us know in the comments. 

The post Poll: What’s the best Final Destination movie? appeared first on JoBlo.

PLOT: When Zephyr, a rebellious surfer, is abducted by a shark-obsessed serial killer and held captive on his boat, she must figure out how to escape before he carries out a ritualistic feeding to the sharks below.

REVIEW: I’ve never so quickly been on board for a film as when the trailer for Dangerous Animals first dropped. There’s just something about a shark film that always excites, despite the fact that we’ve pretty much just gotten the one good one. And with so many following the same formula, it’s nice to see one that detours from the expected. Because having a madman (Courtney) who baits sharks with kidnapped girls has all the makings for an awesome shark film. 

Dangerous Animals follows Zephyr (Hassie Harrison), a transient who lives out of her van and surfs. Unfortunately for her, her nomadic nature makes her the perfect victim for Tucker, a local tour guide who makes a habit of kidnapping people and filming the act of feeding them to sharks. Zephyr needs to try and find a way out before she becomes chum. There’s a pretty lame love subplot with Josh Heuston‘s Moses and Zephyr. I get it, they needed someone who’s out there searching for her, so it’s not entirely hopeless, but it leads to many corny, stereotypical plot beats. This is the film’s main problem. All of the drama feels so melodramatic and hammy that it’s hard to take any of it seriously. It clashes so much with all the tension going on board the boat. A little bit of subtlety would have gone a long way. Instead, we’re given monologues that don’t work and some really convoluted moments meant to extend the narrative.

Like any good shark movie, the film really stews in the tension of the first big shark appearance. But there’s never that “oh my god” shocking moment with the sharks. Instead, the film makes it clear: Jai Courtney‘s Tucker is the villain, not these sharks. They are simply doing what sharks do: eat when there are signs of food in the water. There’s a moment where we get to find out just how long he’s been operating, and it only adds to the imminent danger as he’s clearly been getting away with this for quite some time. The opening ten minutes are where the film really excels, as the tension can be cut with a knife. But it loses steam whenever Tucker is offscreen.

What works so well with Tucker is that his character is essentially a comment on society’s lust for shark violence. We have Shark Week every year devoted to these creatures, and it’s often the tales of when they attack humans. It doesn’t happen naturally enough in the world, so Tucker has to make it happen himself to satiate his own obsession. Jaws really did a number on the public’s perception of these majestic creatures, and this seems to try and break from the usual mold. And Courtney is absolutely phenomenal, really inhabiting the character and making him one of the most intriguing villains I can recall.

Dangerous Animals utilizes real footage of sharks to create some really beautiful visuals. Usually, it’s the Great White or Tiger Shark that gets all the attention, but there are some gorgeous Mako’s that get the first real showcase of the film. And it’s a big ocean, so I’m glad that it’s not the same shark throughout. Different species interact, with a massive Great White being the main event. Makes things a bit more dynamic, as they aren’t treated like the villains. Though as much as the film is trying to make a point about how sharks don’t intentionally feed on people, it’s almost immediately upended with a Hollywood-style bombastic ending that seems to miss that point.

I really enjoyed the shark puppets that are used, as they look realistic and work well. The CGI on the sharks (outside of one moment) is also handled really well. But that one bad moment stands out so much that it’s hard not to be a stain on the film. The gore is a little disappointing in the shark attacks themselves, although the aftermath is quite brutal. There’s one shot in particular of someone’s upper body floating in the water that is truly haunting. And there’s a reason for the attacks being how they are because, outside of the very hammy final kill, they’re presenting these sharks in a realistic light. They aren’t these sentient beings that are prone to jump scares like every shark movie in existence makes them out to be. These sharks move at steady speeds and have normal behavior. It was a breath of fresh air.

It may just be me, but I was very distracted by how still the camera/boat were during some of the ocean-set scenes. I understand that these were likely done on a stage for convenience, but there’s not even a little bit of sway to the boat. They are perfectly still, and it constantly breaks my immersion in the world. Maybe being pulled out of the world with moments like this is why the drama really didn’t work for me. You’re telling me you couldn’t just have a cameraman sway a little bit to give the effect of being on the water? Instead, it feels overly staged.

I really wanted to love Dangerous Animals, but I just ended up liking it. Which is totally fine. There are some good moments, with Jai Courtney being an absolute standout. But it feels like the concept isn’t fully taken advantage of. I didn’t need the random romance subplot, and it really took away from the tension on board. I get its purpose, but it feels a bit sloppy in execution. Thankfully, Courtney is so maniacal, and the tension on the boat is like a tightrope, that it still makes for a fun time. You just need to shut your brain off more than expected.

Last year saw two horror films with a pop musician plot — M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap and Smile 2. Smile 2 featured Naomi Scott as singer Skye Riley and if you wanted to own her songs, Graffiti Records is selling a limited 2500 copies of Smile 2: The Skye Riley EP LP. The vinyl album is available for pre-order at their website, which you can check out HERE. The soundtrack will officially be released on June 20.

You can view the tracklist (via Griffiti Records) below:

• 2. New Brain
• 3. Just My Name
• 4. Blood On White Satin
• 5. Death Of Me
• 6. Just My Name (Piano Version)

Limit 4 per customer. Orders containing more will be cancelled.

Smile was based on Finn’s short film Laura Hasn’t Slept (watch it HERE), which won the Special Jury Recognition Prize in SXSW’s Midnight Short category. Caitlin Stasey (Neighbours) played the title character in that short, and reprises the role in Smile, making it a follow-up of sorts. Smile has the following synopsis: After witnessing a bizarre, traumatic incident involving a patient, Dr. Rose Cotter (Sosie Bacon) starts experiencing frightening occurrences that she can’t explain. As an overwhelming terror begins taking over her life, Rose must confront her troubling past in order to survive and escape her horrifying new reality.

Here’s the Smile 2 synopsis: About to embark on a new world tour, global pop sensation Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) begins experiencing increasingly terrifying and inexplicable events. Overwhelmed by the escalating horrors and the pressures of fame, Skye is forced to face her dark past to regain control of her life before it spirals out of control.

Naomi Scott of Aladdin and Charlie’s Angels takes on the role of Skye Riley and is joined in the cast by Lukas Gage of The White Lotus and You, Rosemarie DeWitt of La La Land and the Poltergeist remake, Dylan Gelula of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Dream Scenario, Raúl Castillo of Army of the Dead and Knives Out, Miles Gutierrez-Riley of The Wilds and On The Come Up, and Kyle Gallner (Red State), reprising the role he played in the first movie. A featurette revealed that Drew Barrymore (Scream) also makes an appearance, playing herself and interviewing Skye Riley on her talk show. Smile was produced by Temple Hill, and they produced Smile 2 as well.

Brie Larson’s run at the MCU may not have set the comic book movie universe on fire, but coming from smaller movies, then going to multi-million blockbusters, many newcomers would ask her for advice. Larson understands the monumental task that new heroes would be undertaking. She stated, “It’s a whole thing, and it’s a lot of pressure. And I think it’s a strange thing, especially when you’re a newcomer and you’re tasked with being the most powerful blah, blah, blah of blah, blah, blah, and you feel scared. It’s so hard to be the cool, confident one when you’re like, ‘Do I know what I’m supposed to be doing?'”

While it remains to be seen if Captain Marvel will return in either of the next Avengers movies, Larson will be starring in a new creature-themed horror film from producer J.J. Abrams. According to Deadline, Larson will lead in Fail-Safe, which is one of the boiling hot films being shopped around at the Cannes market. Fail-Safe will be directed by Strange Darling‘s JT Mollner. The movie is being described as “a modern take on the creature horror film told from the perspective of a young boy who slowly begins to discover that his beloved parents are hiding a disturbing secret about his mother’s true nature.” No One Will Save You‘s Brian Duffield wrote the screenplay for Fail-Safe.

Abrams, who helmed both giant sci-fi franchises, Star Trek and Star Wars, stated, “With Fail-Safe, Brian Duffield has written an absolute powerhouse of a script. It’s a horror film that is as sweet and moving as it is terrifying. To have JT Mollner in the director’s chair — his Strange Darling blew me away — is a dream come true. Finally, having the limitlessly talented Brie Larson as our star sets up Fail-Safe to be that rare horror film that makes you laugh, feel, and care, before taking you on an absolutely wild ride.”

The paranoia horror film will come from FilmNation Entertainment’s production label Infrared, as well as J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Productions, and Assemble Media. Drew Simon, J.J. Abrams and Jon Cohen, and Jack Heller are on board as producers. Assemble’s Caitlin de Lisser-Ellen and Brian Duffield are executive-producing, along with star, Brie Larson. Simon exclaimed, “I’m beyond excited to see Brie take on this role – it’s frightening, emotionally charged, and so different from anything she’s done before!”

Atomic Monster and Blumhouse are producing the adaptation (which may or may not end up using the title) Incidents Around the House, in association with Spin a Black Yarn for Universal Pictures. Atomic Monster’s James Wan is producing, with Savage and Malerman serving as executive producers alongside Michael Clear, Judson Scott, Macdara Kelleher, and Ryan Lewis. Alayna Glasthal is the executive overseeing the project for Atomic Monster. Succession writer Nathan Elston is writing the screenplay.

Last month, news broke that Jessica Chastain will be starring in the film with The Boogeyman director, Rob Savage, helming the project. Savage will direct from a script adapted from the novel by Bird Box author Josh Malerman. According to Deadline, Chastain’s co-star in the film will be filmmaker Jay Duplass, who can currently be seen in the series Dying for Sex. Jay Duplass and his brother, Mark Duplass, are prolific indie filmmakers. Jay recently directed The Baltimorons, which is his first writer/director project in 14 years. The Baltimorons recently premiered at this year’s SXSW festival.

After the project announcement, it was noted that “While details behind the film are unknown, in the Malerman novel, the story revolves around a haunting told from the perspective of a young girl whose troubled family is targeted by an entity she calls ‘Other Mommy.’” That brief description somewhat brings to mind another Jessica Chastain horror movie, Mama, which features a supernatural entity referred to by children in Chastain’s care as “Mama.”

Here’s the full description of Malerman’s novel: To eight-year-old Bela, her family is her world. There’s Mommy, Daddo, and Grandma Ruth. But there is also Other Mommy, a malevolent entity who asks her every day: “Can I go inside your heart?” When horrifying incidents around the house signal that Other Mommy is growing tired of asking Bela the question over and over, Bela understands that unless she says yes, her family will soon pay. Other Mommy is getting restless, stronger, bolder. Only the bonds of family can keep Bela safe, but other incidents show cracks in her parents’ marriage. The safety Bela relies on is about to unravel. But Other Mommy needs an answer. You can pick up a copy of the novel at THIS LINK.

Over Your Dead Body, was was previously titled The Trip, has just been acquired by IFC for a theatrical release. The 87North/XYZ-produced film comes from director Jorma Taccone (MacGruber and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) – and sports an amazing ensemble cast, including Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother), Samara Weaving (Ready or Not), Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Juliette Lewis (From Dusk Till Dawn), Paul Guilfoyle (CSI: Crime Scene Investigation), and retired mixed martial artist Keith Jardine (Godless).

Over Your Dead Body is based on director Tommy Wirkola’s 2021 Norwegian thriller, I Onde Dager, which starred Noomi Rapace and Aksel Hennie. The screenplay by Wirkola, John Niven, and Nick Ball has been reworked by Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney. The original film had the following synopsis: Eager to end their marriage by murdering each other, a husband and wife head to a remote cabin — but soon find themselves facing an even bigger threat. Deadline said the remake will follow a dysfunctional couple (Segel and Weaving) who head to a remote cabin to “reconnect”, but each has secret intentions to kill the other.

XYZ is financing and producing the new film with 87North’s Kelly McCormick, Lee Kim, and Guy Danella. Taccone and Wirkola serve as executive producers alongside Jørgen Storm Rosenberg and Kjetil Omberg, who produced the original film for 74 Entertainment. Actress Karen Gillan, who happens to be married to writer Nick Kocher, is co-producing.

Here’s part of the press release:

“Jorma Taccone stands as one of the most creative and reliably brilliant voices in comedy and we are delighted to collaborate with him and our friends at 87North, XYZ, and Resolute Films on OVER YOUR DEAD BODY,” said Head of IFC Entertainment Group Scott Shooman. “The film is a dark, twisted, and riotous action comedy, with a killer cast – a perfect recipe to delight audiences on the big screen.”

Said director Jorma Taccone, “I am THRILLED to have Independent Film Company as a partner on releasing OVER YOUR DEAD BODY. I am equally pumped to have audiences watch this movie in real live theaters and love that IFC understands how important it is for a movie this kick ass and full of twists to have a real theatrical release. If I have a third child, I’m probably going to name it IFC!”

Wirkola, who previously worked with 87North when he directed the Santa Claus action movie Violent Night, provided the following statement: “I can’t wait to see Jorma bring his totally singular sensibility to the material. That, combined with this killer cast, makes me beyond excited that this film will truly stand out in the cinematic landscape.“

Taccone added, “I’m a huge fan of Tommy’s work and I love the original film. I have a totally singular sensibility, and I can’t wait to see what I bring to the material.“

What do you think of Jorma Taccone, Jason Segel, Samara Weaving, Timothy Olyphant, Juliette Lewis, Paul Guilfoyle, and Keith Jardine teaming up to bring us a remake of Tommy Wirkola’s I Onde Dager, a.k.a. The Trip? Share your thoughts on this one by leaving a comment below.

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer legacy sequel series is coming together a lot faster than expected. Indeed, Deadline is reporting that Ryan Kierra Armstrong has landed the coveted role of the new Slayer opposite returning star Sarah Michelle Gellar. The fifteen-year-old Armstrong, despite her young age, is already a Hollywood vet, having played the title role in the Stephen King adaptation, Firestarter, in addition to one of the leads in Star Wars: Skeleton Crew on Disney+. 

To note, Armstrong is much younger than Gellar was when she started playing the role back in 1997, which makes me think this reboot is going for a somewhat more realistic depiction of teenage life. Back in the nineties, it was commonplace for adult actors to play teen roles, with the practice still in effect in shows like Euphoria. However, other shows like Stranger Things started the practice of casting age-appropriate actors, to great effect, and that is the road this sequel series is going down as well.

Gellar posted a video on Instagram of her breaking the news of her hiring to Armstrong. Check it out

The new series is set for Hulu, with Chloe Zhao signed to direct the pilot, which Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, the showrunners of Poker Face, will write. To note, they once worked with original Buffy showrunner Josh Whedon on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, but he’s not expected to have any involvement with the sequel series.

Regarding Armstrong’s casting, Gellar wrote the following on social media: “From the moment I saw Ryan’s audition, I knew there was only one girl that I wanted by my side. To have that kind of emotional intelligence, and talent, at such a young age is truly a gift. The bonus is that her smile lights up even the darkest room. Welcome to #NewSunnydale #btvs”

There is no news yet on when the show might debut, but it certainly has the potential to be a major, generation-spanning breakout hit. Here’s hoping David Boreanaz makes an appearance as Angel!

Osgood Perkins is becoming something of royalty in the horror category as the offspring of one of the most iconic names in the genre, plus carving out his own path with a directing career. Perkins is well established as a director, but his star rose further recently with the atmospheric serial killer film Longlegs and his latest dark comedy horror film The Monkey, which was based on a Stephen King story. Now, Perkins is being given the keys to the low-to-mid-budget horror kingdom as he signs a new deal with Neon and launches his own banner.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Perkins is now partnered with Neon on a first-look deal and he has launched Phobos — a new film banner that he will be running with his partner Chris Ferguson. Per THR, “Under the deal, Neon will serve as the home for Perkins’ projects, which he and Ferguson will produce. It will also allow Perkins and Ferguson to produce other filmmakers’ movies for Neon. Neon will release these projects theatrically in the United States and represent international rights.” Perkins will also continue to produce projects with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones of Range Productions.

Perkins’ credits include The Blackcoat’s Daughter (a.k.a. February), I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, Gretel & Hansel, along with the Nicolas Cage horror film Longlegs. Neon has given The Monkey a digital release a month ago. If you’re more interested in the physical media release, the film is set to reach 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD on June 24. Copies are already available for pre-order HERE.

Theo James (The White Lotus) plays the twins in later years, while Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth) plays them in their younger days. Also in the cast are Elijah Wood (The Lord of the Rings), Tatiana Maslany (She–Hulk: Attorney at Law), Colin O’Brien (Wonka), Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends), and Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek). James Wan and Michael Clear produced The Monkey for Atomic Monster, while Jason Cloth and Dave Caplan produced for C2 Motion Picture Group. Executive producers include Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Fred Berger of Automatik, Peter Luo and Nancy Xu of Stars Collective, John Friedberg of Black Bear, and Chris Ferguson. Atomic Monster and Stars Collective developed the project, and C2 Motion Picture Group provided the financing.

It’s been fourteen years, but the Final Destination franchise is all set to make a triumphant return to the big screen this weekend with Final Destination: Bloodlines. The sixth film in the series, it stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana as a college student who inherits a family curse where they’re able to have premonitions about deaths before they happen. The difference in this one is that the death curse starts taking the descendants of survivors of a curse that happened decades before, giving the film a new twist on the old formula.

Final Destination: Bloodlines is directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, whose indie film, Freaks, became an unlikely smash hit on Netflix during the pandemic. Working with a studio budget, they’ve made what many are calling the franchise’s best instalment ever, with plenty of gory deaths we can add to our “best kills list” which we ran yesterday. 

Today on JoBlo, our very own Jimmy O sat down with the cast including Rya Kihlstedt, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones as well as Richard Harmon, Anna Lore, and Owen Patrick Joyner as they talk about working together on the film and be sure to stick around as we also chatted with directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein!

Final Destination: Bloodlines opens in theaters on Friday. Make sure to check back for our review soon!

The Assessment and Marvel Cinematic Universe actor Elizabeth Olsen is sharpening her incisors for Panos Cosmatos‘s (Mandy, Beyond the Black Rainbow, Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities) upcoming ’80s-style vampire thriller Flesh of the Gods. She joins Kristen Stewart (American Ultra, Underwater, Twilight) and Oscar Isaac (Ex Machina, Dune, Moon Knight), who, according to Deadline, play “Raoul and Alex, a married couple in glittering ’80s L.A. who descend each evening from their luxury skyscraper condo and head into an electric nighttime realm. When they cross paths with the mysterious and enigmatic Nameless (Olsen) and her hard-partying cabal, Raoul and Alex are seduced into a glamorous, surrealistic world of hedonism, thrills, and violence.”

Panos Cosmatos directs The Flesh of the Gods from a screenplay by Se7en scribe Andrew Kevin Walker, based on a story by Cosmatos and Walker. Adam McKay joins the project as a producer alongside Betsy Koch of Hyperobject Industries and Gena Konstantinakos and Isaac for Mad Gene Media. The Flesh of the Gods heads to Cannes this week, though a production start date is unknown. The film’s significant star power makes scheduling difficult, though the stars should align at some point.

Elizabeth Olsen recently completed work on the David Freyne-directed comedic romance Eternity, starring Miles Teller, Callum Turner, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and John Early. In Eternity, everybody gets one week to choose where to spend eternity after death. For Joan, Larry, and Luke, it’s a question of who to spend it with. In addition to the upcoming conspiracy thriller from Sam Esmail, Panic Carefully, starring Olsen, Julia Roberts, Eddie Redmayne, and Brian Tyree Henry, Olsen is hard at work shooting the Seven Sisters TV series. In Seven Sisters, a tight-knit family begins to unravel when a sister starts communicating with a voice no one else can hear. Seven Sisters stars Cristin Milioti, Elizabeth Olsen, Anthony Edwards, Meredith Hagner, Odessa Young, Ryan Eggold, J Smith-Cmaeron, Phillip Ettinger, Zoe Winters, Bridget Brown, and Carolyn Kettig.

Did you see Panmatos’s Mandy? That movie is a head trip and a half. I’m excited to see what he’ll do with the ’80s party scene with vampires owning the night. Are you intrigued by Elizabeth Olsen joining the cast of Flesh of the Gods? Let us know in the comments section below.

Last year, Final Destination 6 (which is going by the title Final Destination: Bloodlines) finally, after years of development and a long year gap between sequels, made its way through production. Franchise producer Craig Perry previously let it be known that the film was aiming for a theatrical release in 2025, in time to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the original film. It will even be on IMAX screens! It was recently confirmed that Final Destination: Bloodlines is set to reach theatres this Friday. The directing duo of Zach Lipovsky and Adam B. Stein, who previously directed the 2018 film Freaks (starring Emile Hirsch and Bruce Dern) and the 2019 live-action Kim Possible movie, were at the helm of this film – and during an interview with SFX magazine, Lipovsky said their hope is that the movie will throw viewers for a loop and keep them guessing because things play out in unpredictable ways.

Final Destination: Bloodlines has the following synopsis: Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all. It has been rated R for strong violent / grisly accidents, and language.

Tony Todd is joined in the cast by Brec Bassinger, Richard Harmon, Kaitlyn Santa Juana, Teo Briones, Rya Kihlstedt, Anna Lore, Owen Patrick Joyner, Max Lloyd-Jones, Andrew Tinpo Lee, April Amber Telek, and Alex Zahara.

Lipovsky revealed to SFX magazine, “For this film, the first premonition takes place in 1969. There are lots of deaths during the premonition, which is what normally happens in the opening sequence of a Final Destination movie, but we then come out of the eye of a different person in the modern day. That’s new. For a lot of fans, I think that’s going to immediately throw them for a loop. It’s going to make them lean forward to try and figure out what’s going on. As moviegoers, we love it when you have to lean forward in your seat because a movie is being unpredictable. We switch up a lot of the predictability, including who’s going to die next and how they are going to die. You might think it’s one person, but it’s not. There’s a delight in that.“

For me, the Final Destination films have always been delightful. That’s why this is my favorite horror franchise of the 2000s, and I’m hyped that it’s finally coming back. I’ve been waiting for this movie ever since the opening weekend of Final Destination 5 way back in 2011.

Jon Watts, director of Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far from Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home, is producing Final Destination: Bloodlines with Perry, Dianne McGunigle, and Sheila Hanahan Taylor. Watts came up with the initial idea, which was fleshed out into a screenplay by Lori Evans Taylor and Guy Busick.

As we ready for the release of another Final Destination: Bloodlines, it’s time that we look back on some of the great deaths that the franchise has to offer. Now, I’m not including the great deaths that we get during the opening accidents, since most of those don’t come to fruition anyway. I tried sticking with deaths that actually stick (which is why we also aren’t getting the slick escalator moment from Part 4). I had to draw the line somewhere, there are just too many good ones to cover!

And I’m very excited to be able to update this once I’ve witnessed the carnage of Final Destination: Bloodlines. Here’s hoping there are plenty of worthy additions.

Let’s get into the carnage.

Tod’s Shower Mishap – Final Destination

Our first instance in the series of the “rube goldberg” style of death, where one thing leads to another, which leads to another which finally ends in tragedy. This time, it’s Tod in the bathroom, set up perfectly to look like a suicide. Death by strangulation is bad enough, but the buildup to this, with the capillaries in his eyes bursting, makes this one stand out in its simplicity.

Racist Gets Dragged – The Final Destination

If there’s one thing the fourth film does right, it’s giving us characters that we WANT to see die. So it’s great to finally see this loser who’s trying to light a cross in this black man’s yard get a bit of karma. He’s lit on fire and dragged by his truck in the streets, which eventually blows up, sending parts of his body in every which way.

Olivia’s Eye Surgery – Final Destination 5

Feeling similar to the Dentist office scene in FD2, this one takes laser eye surgery and gives it a horrific twist, with the laser completely mangling poor Olivia. But it’s the fact that we get this long drawn out death AND a shock death, all in one. We never expect her to fall out a window, yet it happens and is a brutal ending to someone who just had their eye lasered out.

Mrs. Lewton Tries To Pack – Final Destination

This one just makes you feel bad for the poor victim. Mrs. Lewton is simply trying to pack up and leave town, but death has other plans, putting a knife through her chest before setting her whole house on fire. Part of me never felt too bad for her since she never believed Alex but hey, she definitely didn’t deserve this.

Crushed by Glass – Final Destination 2

There’s nothing quite like tricking an audience into thinking it’ll be one thing, only to have something else entirely. The glass panel is set up when Tim and his mom go to the dentist. Then, after being teased over and over that there’s going to be some kind of Dental mishap, he’s released, accident free. But, taking cues from Terry’s bus trip, we get a cacophony of violence that can’t be beat.

Ladder through the Eye – Final Destination 2

This one is so satisfying because the character himself is such a douchebag. Evan Lewis had just won the lottery, and his apartment is filled with all the crap that he’s just bought. Which adds a bit of irony when his house goes up in flames. We think it’s going to be the garbage disposal that gets him but instead it’s the ladder of the fire escape, which pierces his eye socket. Disgusting yet deserved.

Fence Dismemberment – Final Destination 2

Shortly after Kat has a pole slammed through her head, her death causes a chain reaction that sends a barb wire fence flying towards Rory. It takes a moment to realize what happened, but then his body just falls apart. The effect and shock value really make this one stand out. Poor Rory. One of the most underrated characters in the series.

Tanning Beds – Final Destination 3

They’ve fallen slightly out of vogue now, but in 2006 there were tanning beds EVERYWHERE. As someone in high school at the time, if you were a popular girl, you were going to a tanning booth. So to make this “everyday” item into a death trap, was enough to never get me inside one of these things ever. With some of the only nudity in any FD death, you hardly notice because it’s all so horrifying as these two girls burn alive.

Gymnastics Routine – Final Destination 5

I’ve been around gymnastics most of my life, so this one always hits different. There are so many things that it could be, from the loose screw to the electrically charged water, yet its simple physics that takes out Candice on her landing. The technical prowess of the effect really just brings this one home.

Terry’s Bus Trip – Final Destination

I’m not sure if there is any death more shocking in the franchise than when Terry steps out in the street and gets hit by the bus. It’s so out of nowhere, and would become a staple for the franchise going forward: the shock death. The reaction of the other characters and reverberation of the death throughout the next scene will often be repeated, but never imitated.

Deadline is reporting that the filmmaking duo behind Daybreakers, Jigsaw and Winchester will be adapting the headless horseman mythology for a contemporary setting for their new film Headless. The duo, Michael and Peter Spierig – a.k.a. The Spierig Brothers — are said to be paying nods to Mad Max and The Terminator in this new re-imagining, with the production even taking place in Australia, where the Mad Max movies were produced.

The synopsis reads, “A rudderless hitchhiker and a driven woman avenging her family’s death must stop a motorcycle-riding semi-immortal ghoul that feeds off the carnage it causes on desert highways by decapitating it and getting its head far enough away, long enough, from its relentlessly pursuant still-living body.” The film is written by Shane Armstrong (The Contents) and S.P. Krause (The Contents). The film is set to be produced by industry vet Chris Brown (Daybreakers) for his Picture in Paradise label, Martin Metz (Mandy) for Rosewood Pictures and Diana Le Dean (Sting) and developed with support from Screen Queensland.

Altitude will be handling the international sales and is planning to put the project up for buyers on the Cannes Croisette sometime this week. Additionally, Rialto has acquired distribution rights to the film for Australia and New Zealand. Production is set to start in Australia later this year.

The Spierig Brothers were also recently announced to be taking over directing duties for Netflix’s sequel to Fall. Capstone Studios’ CEO, Christian Mercuri, announced that Fall 2 is set to be directed by the brothers, and Mercuri will be producing with Mark Lane and James Harris of Tea Shop Productions, David Haring, and Scott Mann via the Flawless banner. The Spierig Brothers provided the following statement: “We’re extremely excited to helm the second installment of this franchise and bring to life another nail biting, vertigo inducing thrill ride.“

Mann added: “I am so proud to hand over the reins to the Spierigs, two highly respected genre directors whose addition will undoubtedly make this follow-up even more of a must-see experience than we already knew it would be. I can’t wait for Flawless to work alongside them, and the rest of our fantastic filmmaking team, to take the Fall franchise to epic new heights.“

Details on the plot and characters have not been revealed, but we do know that Fall 2 and Fall 3 will bring back original characters from the first film, while also leaving room for new ones to be introduced. Mann has written the script for Fall 2 with Jonathan Frank, his co-writer on the first film.

A press release includes information on the Spierig Brothers: “Michael and Peter Spierig are best known for Lionsgate’s Winchester starring Helen Mirren and Sarah Snook and Jigsaw, the eighth film in the Saw series, one of the most successful franchises ever produced. Additional credits include Daybreakers starring Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe, Predestination starring Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook, and the award-winning zombie film Undead.“

Mark L. Smith is a master at showing unforgiving environments in nature with The Revenant and his latest series, American Primeval. Netflix now gives us a preview at Untamed, which will be a different take on Yosemite National Park. The new mystery-thriller limited series Untamed starring Eric Bana, Sam Neill, Rosemarie DeWitt, Lily Santiago and Wilson Bethel will premiere on Thursday, July 17th on Netflix.

Untamed will consist of six one-hour episodes. The official synopsis reads,
“A character-driven mystery-thriller that follows Kyle Turner (played by Bana), a special agent for the National Parks Service who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast wilderness. The investigation of a brutal death sends Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.”

The cast and character descriptions read,
Eric Bana as Kyle Turner, a special agent for the National Park Service Investigative Services Branch (ISB) who works to enforce human law in nature’s vast territories.

Sam Neill as Paul Souter. Souter has been the chief park ranger in Yosemite for half his life. He’s a dedicated husband, father, grandfather, and friend to Turner. He’s comfortable in all facets of his job, whether it’s dealing with crime inside the park or with the bureaucracy around it.

Lily Santiago as Naya Vasquez. An ambitious young, former Los Angeles cop, Vasquez is the newest addition to Yosemite’s ranger squad. She came to the park to find a new life with her 4-year-old son, Gael. Despite being a little green when it comes to a landscape like Yosemite, her strong will, astute investigative skills, and big-city homicide techniques become useful tools in a murder that is distinctly human.

Rosemary DeWitt as Jill Bodwin. Jill is Turner’s ex-wife, a former teacher and park counselor, who remarried a few years after their divorce. Despite the fracturing of their marriage, Jill and Turner maintain a strong bond, held together by events from their past.

Wilson Bethel as Shane Maguire. A former army ranger, Maguire now uses his skills as the park’s Wildlife Management Officer. Maguire’s a loner, preferring to live by himself in the wilderness where it’s easier to follow his own rules.

Mark L. Smith and Elle Smith are the showrunners on the series. They will also executive produce with the show’s star, Eric Bana, along with John Wells and Erin Jontow via John Wells Productions; Todd Black and Tony Shaw for Escape Artists Entertainment, Steve Lee Jones for Bee Holder Productions; Cliff Roberts for Syndicate Entertainment.

Mark L. Smith tells Netflix, “Everyone thinks of Yosemite as this beautiful place with all the vistas and all the scenery, but we were trying to touch on the dangers that are just beyond that.” Meanwhile, Elle states, “We get to understand what this job is, and see the beauty of the park, but also the dangers.”

Back in 2022, 20th Century Studios, director Dan Trachtenberg, and the Hulu streaming service brought the world a new addition to the Predator franchise, the 1719-set Prey – a film that went over so well, Tranchtenberg was given the opportunity to continue expanding the Predator series. In February of 2024, it was announced that he was moving forward with a project called Predator: Badlands, which is now aiming for a November 7, 2025 theatrical release. With more details on the new film starting to emerge, we figured this was the right time to put together a list of Everything We Know About Predator: Badlands:

PREY CREATIVE TEAM

Dan Trachtenberg directed Predator: Badlands from a screenplay he wrote with his Prey collaborator Patrick Aison – and they crafted a very different sort of story this time around. The studio has revealed that the film is set in the future on a remote planet, telling the story of a young Predator, outcast from his clan, who finds an unlikely ally in a synthetic being called Thia and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary.

According to a casting call, the film had the following logline: A groundbreaking film in which one of the two main storylines delves into the intricate bond of two very different sisters, their familial ties are put to the ultimate test as they pursue divergent paths and missions. The casting call was searching for a lead actress who could take on the dual role of twin sisters Thia and Tessa: This casting is for a dual character, and describes both characters. Character identifies as female or non-binary, open ethnicity, mid 20s – mid 40s. Thia has spent most of her life in a laboratory and is now embarking on her first big adventure in the world. She is incredibly smart, witty, enthusiastic, and unflappable. She has an innate disregard for danger, not because she’s fearless, but simply because she’s naive. Strong comedy chops required. // The other sister, Tessa, has a militant intensity when it comes to achieving her family’s goals and mission objectives. She will not let anything get in her way, not even her twin sister. So, unless one of these characters is human and the other is a synthetic made in her image, it looks like we have identical synthetic characters in this film. The casting call noted the physical requirements of the role: “Must be comfortable training for heavy action/combat, must also be comfortable wearing prosthetics/heavy makeup, and MUST be 5’8” or shorter.” A teaser trailer revealed that Thia was created by the Weyland-Yutani corporation, tying this film to the Alien franchise.

Trachtenberg produced Predator: Badlands alongside John Davis, Marc Toberoff, Ben Rosenblatt, and Brent O’Connor. While O’Connor is new to the Predator franchise (but was an executive producer on Alien: Romulus), Davis, Toberoff, and Rosenblatt were also involved with Prey – in fact, John Davis has produced every Predator movie, going back to the 1987 original.

CAST

Elle Fanning was cast in the dual roles of Thia and Tessa, even though she’s not 5’8″ or shorter. Fanning is reportedly 5’9″. Close enough. Her previous credits include Super 8, Maleficent and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Trumbo, The Neon Demon, Mary Shelley, The Girl from Plainville, The Great, and A Complete Unknown. Trachtenberg has said that Thia’s story is similar to the main Predator’s situation. “[Her] story [has the same roots but] is a bit different thematically, and starts to go into a different branch of proving oneself.“

The only other cast member to be confirmed as of this writing is Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi, who has been in Jonah, The Panthers, Upright, Far North, and Red, White & Brass. Schuster-Koloamatangi did the in-costume and motion-capture performances that bring the film’s primary Predator, known as Dek, to life on the screen. Speaking with ComicBook.com, Trachtenberg said, “Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi is the actor’s name. We had a very specific casting for Dek. We thought we would want a stunt guy and this was a real opportunity, because all the other Predators need to be like seven-foot-six. It’s very specific people that aren’t often trained stuntmen. They happen to be that size and they decide to get into this business. [Prey star] Dane [DiLiegro] did want to be in the business, but he also was an ex-basketball player, he was the one who played the feral in Prey. Here, it was the first time I was like, ‘Oh, we can get a proper stunt guy to be the guy who can move in the ways…’ And at one of our castings, we had a number of stunt guys and then this dude Dimitrius came up and the way he moved just had a great swashbuckle to it. He just was so cool. We set up a little physical obstacle course. That’s how we cast him. Then he did some dramatic stuff from the movie and it was awesome. I was not at all prepared for what he actually does, it’s so … I could not believe, how did we luck into this guy? It’s crazy that we found him.“

THE PREDATOR IS THE HERO

Finding just the right performer to play Dek was incredibly important because, as Trachtenberg revealed to Empire, the Predator is the protagonist in this story. He said, “The creature is front and center, leading the charge. He’s still badass, but there’s something there that touches you emotionally, too. Creating a character you connect with, but are also super-intimidated by, has been challenging. But exciting.” The idea for Predator: Badlands came from Trachtenberg’s desire to “find another essential piece of cinema that does what Prey did spiritually — pushing the franchise’s boundaries, letting us root for a hero we rarely get to root for — but in a different way. And that transformed into this big idea of rooting for the Predator.”

The focus on Dek is why the Predator’s face is not entirely practical in this film, but instead is a digital effect provided by Wētā Workshop. “This movie, you really wanted people to connect with Dek. Unfortunately, the rotors that go inside the mask that is usually adorned for the Predator not only affects all the physicality of the creature, so it makes people move a certain way, but also it just does not have the articulation to bring people in and connect to a creature. We were trying to do this thing of, we want you to bond with a horrific-looking creature. The methodology was a guy in a suit, and you’re seeing suit, the whole thing, other than his face. The face is all digital.“

This is where the motion-capture element of Schuster-Koloamatangi’s performance comes in, as there were dots placed on his face to help guide how the Predator’s face should be animated.

YAUTJA PRIME

Predator: Badlands was filmed in locations throughout New Zealand, with the country standing in for the Predator home planet of Yautja Prime. For the first time, we’re getting a story set on the world these creatures come from – and since it’s a Yautja Prime story, the filmmakers decided to create an official language for the Predators. Trachtenberg told ComicBook.com, “We’re on Yautja Prime, what is known as Yautja Prime mainly from extended universe stuff. There’s a lot in this movie that is more from the extended universe than is from things that are properly in the movie. I should mention the language. We, insanely, decided to really treat that properly and we reached out to the guy who does the Na’vi language [in Avatar], who was very occupied and recommended his mentee. We did it the way that, for The Lord of the Rings, you would do Elvish, for Game of Thrones, you do Dothraki. Except for those, there’s more precedent. For us, there’s very little. As we discovered, with him being a language expert, and frankly, actually working with [Predator special effects artist] Alec Gillis, all the stuff that you’ve seen in other Predator movies is complete garbage. There’s no sense of it. People from the Internet have tried to make sense of it, but none of it was made with intention. So we decided to make it with intention and we completely developed the language, so everything they’re speaking has actual rules and structure and all that stuff. And written as well as verbal. Very early on, we just did explorations, concept art explorations of what Yautja could be. I wanted to be very careful in making this, that I not fall into a trap that is making something that is more lore-focused than story-focused. I think, lots of times, when people do more in a franchise, there’s a tendency to really go whole hog into the Senate trading committees and whatever. I thought we should just have a little sliver of that, but not let the movie be like, there could be some expectation when people hear the premise that the movie is going to be all about the inner workings of the Yautja culture and that’s not — we wanted to still make it feel genre, feel very specific. Really, what it is, it’s an inversion of the premise of now the Predator is on a planet. He’s going to be hunted by things and has to use his guile to figure out stuff. While we were writing, we were doing concept art and things like that to figure out the world-building of it all.“

Schuster-Koloamatangi was able to learn and speak the Yautja language, which is something Trachtenberg wasn’t even able to do.

While figuring out the look and style of the film, Trachtenberg said (as reported by Bloody Disgusting) that he drew inspiration from the likes of Frank Frazetta, Conan the Barbarian, Spartans, The Book of Eli, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, Shane, Clint Eastwood westerns, and Terrence Malick films. He also said, “I never thought [the Predator] was Jason Voorhees or Freddy Krueger. [Predators] had a code [like] hitmen or crime underworld Goodfellas. I felt like there was something cool to explore within that culture that’s different than just adding a bunch of stuff on top of it. It felt like we’re mining [ideas] as opposed to just throwing [more] at the franchise.“

NOT THE ONLY 2025 PREDATOR MOVIE

In the build-up to the release of Predator: Badlands, we’ve learned that this isn’t the only Predator movie we’ll be seeing this year, as Trachtenberg has also directed an animated anthology called Predator: Killer of Killers! The existence of a second film was originally revealed by 20th Century Studios president Steve Asbell during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Since this interview was conducted before the Predator: Badlands release date announcement, Asbell was asked if the next Predator movie would get a theatrical release (since Prey was a streaming release). He answered, “Yes and no.” Then, to clarify, he said, “Yes, a Predator movie will have a theatrical. I’ll tell you very simply. After Prey became a success, Dan [Trachtenberg] came back and said he didn’t want to do Prey 2. And we’re like, ‘What do you want to do?’ And he rattled off a bunch of ideas that were really crazy but really cool. We’ve actually done two of them. Two are coming out next year. One I can’t talk about yet, but the other one is the live-action Predator film with Elle Fanning that just wrapped in New Zealand. That’ll be out theatrically sometime next year. … It’s titled Badlands and it is an absolutely bonkers idea. It is a sci-fi thing, but it’s not what everybody thinks it is. And I mean, it’s awesome. It is so nuts. But in Dan, we trust. There’s a second Predator movie that we have different plans for. Dan has actually directed both. There’s a secret Predator movie that will come out before the theatrical one but I can’t say anything about yet.”

We have since found out that Predator: Killer of Killers will be released through the Hulu streaming service on June 6th. Here’s the official synopsis: The anthology story follows three of the fiercest warriors in human history: a Viking raider guiding her young son on a bloody quest for revenge, a ninja in feudal Japan who turns against his Samurai brother in a brutal battle for succession, and a WWII pilot who takes to the sky to investigate an otherworldly threat to the Allied cause. But while all these warriors are killers in their own right, they are merely prey for their new opponent – the ultimate killer of killers. Trachtenberg crafted the screenplay with Micho Robert Rutare and directed the animated feature alongside Josh Wassung of the animation company The Third Floor.
