The upcoming horror The House In The Pines just got a little more frightening with the addition of Mick Strawn, production designer of A Nightmare of Elm Street 4:The Dream Master’ and ‘Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III‘. The collective work of Mick Strawn is simply amazing as he has also worked special effects on Witchboard and Blade.

‘Antebellum’ Won’t Premiere In August After All

Just as Lionsgate’s Antebellum was nearing it’s August the 21st premiere date, the film has been delayed again, this time with no premiere date in sight. In fact, it has been removed for the schedule altogether. The question is, was the film removed due to the pandemic or because of the subject matter as tensions continue to rise surrounding the Black Lives Matters movement. This is the second time the film has been rescheduled already, it was originally set to open in theaters this Spring. Antebellum, written and directed by Gerard Bush and Christoper Renz (Bush+Renz), takes us on the nail-biting journey of successful author Veronica Henley (Janelle Monáe) as she finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality as she finds her self enslaved. To return home, she must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it’s too late. Kiersey Clemons, Jena Malone, Jack Huston, Eric Lange, Gabourey Sidibe, and Robert Aramayo also star.

‘Godzilla Vs. Kong’ Gets A Rating

‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ officially has a rating! The upcoming ‘Godzilla vs. Kong’ movie has been rated PG-13 “for intense sequences of creature violence/destruction and brief language.” This is the same rating as other movies within the Monsterverse (‘Godzilla’, ‘Kong: Skull Island’, and ‘Godzilla: King of the Monsters’) so this is no surprise. “In a time when monsters walk the Earth, humanity’s fight for its future sets Godzilla and Kong on a collision course that will see the two most powerful forces of nature on the planet collide in a spectacular battle for the ages. As Monarch embarks on a perilous mission into uncharted terrain and unearths clues to the Titans’ origins, a human conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.” Hopefully, now that there is a rating in place, we will get a trailer and we can get this titanic battle started!
