Trailer: Antichrist

First trailer for the creepy new Lars von Trier film "Antichrist" has hit the net and outside of the fact that Willem Dafoe is starring the film, it looks absolutely intense. AICN broke the trailer but I got it for you below. Unfortunately, the film has no U.S. release date set, but releases next month in Denmark. With Dafoe in the film and what looks like a outstanding film, "Antichrist" is sure to get a release Stateside sooner than later. Charlotte Gainsbourg plays the female lead in the Von Trier film that follows a grieving couple as they retreat to their cabin 'Eden' in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. Checkout the trailer below...

Trailer: The Decent 2

There are certain films that you would instantly say a sequel is un-needed or pointless and Neil Marshall's 2006 film The Decent is one of them. The original film was a blast! It was suspenseful, intriguing, violent and most of all one helluva good time. So, when news came that a sequel was in the works, I of course used every expletive in the book and damned the sequel to failure. I have since calmed down and had almost forgotten about the sequel altogether. A few days ago however, I saw the first trailer for the sequel posted online. Initially I was very hesitant to watch, but after I did, I was happily surprised!

"The Decent 2" looks like it could be a worthy sequel to an amazing original! Jon Harris directs the sequel and takes the U.S. version of the story in a believable fashion that see's Sarah (Shauna Macdonald) forced to show the authorities just why she is covered in her friend’s blood after escaping a cave filled with underground mutants. "The Decent 2" does not have a U.S. release date set, but is slated to release in Belgium on June 17th. Checkout the trailer below...

What say you? Does The Decent 2 look to be a worthy sequel? Have you seen the original in both U.S. and U.K. cuts? Strikeback...

Michael Sheen in New Moon?

The Twilight Saga's "New Moon" is currently filming and Daily Mail is reporting that director Chris Weitz has heavily pursued actor Michael Sheen for the role of Aro, the leader of the Italian Vampire clan the Volturi. The London news outlet in the past has reported some wild claims, so for now this report is still a rumor, but none the less Daily Mail reports Summit Entertainment will release an official announcement this week.

Director Chris Weitz told the news outlet why it was so important to land Sheen. “Michael’s role is so important because he’s the head of all vampires,” Weitz explained. “Aro is, on the surface, a very gracious and friendly vampire, but beneath that he is a tremendous threat.” Michael Sheen does feel like a perfect fit in the role of Aro and he surely is no stranger to vampires after having starred in the Underworld franchise as the leader of the Lycons. Daily Mail reports that Sheen will earn £5 million for the role of Aro.

"New Moon" is scheduled to release November 20th and stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Jackson Rathbone, Dakota Fanning, Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, Tyson Houseman and Jamie Campbell-Bower.
