Robots Are Unleashed In The Ultra Violent ‘Monsters Of Man’ Red Band Trailer

Insane action and brutality fill the new Red Band trailer for director Mark Toia‘s killer robot movie Monsters of Man. Watch as faces are peeled from skulls, limbs ripped from bodies, and humans are pit against robots designed for one person, to kill.

AI, Action, And Horror Combine For ‘Monsters OF Man’

I don’t know about you, but I have a real fear of AI going terribly wrong. That happens to be the premise of the sci-fi thriller Monsters of Man, which is currently running an Indiegogo campaign. In his stunning directorial debut, Mark Toia combines non-stop action with powerful special effects to explore AI, corruption, and the terrifying possibilities of future warfare. The movie “reveals the consequences of unchecked power and robots who have advanced beyond human control. When a corrupt CIA agent (Neil McDonough) teams up with a robotics company to deploy an illegal, unsanctioned military operation, the plan is to drop four prototype robots into a suspected drug manufacturing camp in the Golden Triangle that no one will miss. The mission is to prove the robotics company is worthy of winning a lucrative military contract but all goes horribly awry when six American volunteer doctors witness the brutal slaughter of an innocent village and are forced into a deadly

Chris Le’s film Cartel 2045 takes us to the year 2045 where the drug war in Mexico has reached new heights of brutality as one of the drug cartels acquired a new weapon to strike fear in rivals and the United States, combat robots. The robots were used by the US military till an incident in Iran made them illegal. Now the company that made the robots have sold them to a Mexican drug cartel headed by Angel Malvado played by Danny Trejo (Machete, Machete Kills).

Ridley Scott Planning Another ‘Alien’ Film

Fans of the Alien franchise will be happy to learn that even though critics weren’t a big fan of Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott has not given up on the franchise. In fact, he still has plans to make another film. Even though Scott has several projects underway, including re-shooting scenes from All the Money thanks to Kevin Spacey being replaced after sexual harassment allegations, and preparing for his next film which is an adaption of Don Winslow’s The Cartel, Scott has definite plans to continue the Alien franchise. Scott told EW about his plan: We are [going to make another], we are. I think what we have to do is gradually drift away from the alien stuff.” He continued, “People say,’You need more chest bursting,’ so I put a lot of that in Covenant and it fit nicely. But I think if you go again you need to start finding another solution that is more interesting. I think AI is
