Universal Has Found Their Star For The Remake of Frankenstein

Last year Universal tapped Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan to begin work on its new shared universe and the remakes of all of its classic horror films. Universal’s The Mummy reboot, starring Tom Cruise and Russell Crowe, will soon wrap filming. And their next reboot, Frankenstein, is now in the early phases of casting. There have been many remakes and reboots of Frankenstein over the years, but the original has never been topped, in my opinion. Let’s hope the new film will do it justice. Variety is reporting that Javier Bardem is now in negotiations to star as Dr, Frankenstein’s monster, a role originally played by Boris Karloff in 1931. Bardem was also offered the role of Dr. Jekyll in the new The Mummy reboot, but passed. There is no word yet if Bardem will also appear in the Bride of Frankenstein, whose star has been named as Angelina Jolie. Bardem is a gifted actor who has starred in many

Sigourney Weaver Is Back For Alien V

While fans have been following Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant, another film in the franchise has been quietly working away. Neil Blumkamp’s sequel stars Sigourney, who will be reprising her role as Ripley. Michael Biehn is back too, as Corporal Hicks in Alien V. You may be scratching your head, wondering how Weaver’s character will return for the new film. According to Weaver, the film will act as a direct sequel to James Cameron’s 1986 classic. Which means Ripley and Hicks are still alive. It’s just as if the path forks and one direction off to three and four and another direction goes off to Neil’s movie,” Weaver stated.. Alien: Covenant follows a ship bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy. The crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world – whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the

Trailer Arrives For Sam And Mattie’s Spring Break Zombie Massacre

Sam Suchmann and Mattie Zufelt, two best friends, who teamed up to write and star in their first full length film Spring Break Zombie Massacre. Let’s face it, there are zombie films everywhere you look, but this one is special. Making a film is never easy for a first timer, but when you add in the fact that both Sam and Mattie have Down Syndrome, completing the film is even more impressive. The film, directed by Robert Carnevale, features Sam and Mattie as high school students caught in a zombie outbreak. Zombies are not the only villains in the movie. It also features demons, bionics, and much more. And where would a spring break movie be without wild parties, there are plenty of those in the movie. The project caught the eye of Jersey Shore’s Pauly D, who starred in the film free of charge. Madaline Brumby, Tyler Schnabel, Justine S. Harrison, Johnny Collins, Dante Bonfatti, Alex Hollock, Anthony Hoang,
