Another propaganda poster for Guillermo del Toro's upcoming giant robot vs. giant monster extravaganza, Pacific Rim, has arrived; and like the others in this series, it's all about stomping some Kaiju ass!

Look for Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro, in theatres July 12th of 2013. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff star.

Synopsis
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

Related News: Visit our Pacific Rim archive

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

As we told you a few days ago, NBC decided not to air Episode 1.04 of "Hannibal," entitled "Oeuf," due to its controversial and violent content, opting instead to run a web-only, edited look at the ep. Here's the first installment - check back in a few hours for the rest.

This first video features an introduction from executive producer Bryan Fuller, who explains that "Oeuf" details the relationship between Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Abigail Hobbs, played by Kacey Rohl. He says, “As the series goes on, this relationship gets much more complicated and becomes a load-bearing element of our storytelling. So we wanted to make sure that you have all the scenes to follow the story along.”

Sorry, Homer, Bart, Marge, Maggie, and Lisa! When it comes to this latest horror tale featuring a Treehouse of horror, you guys are shit out of luck. What we're talking about here is an all new indie flick that lets it all hang out!

Below you'll find the first artwork for Treehouse directed by Michael Guy Ellis with J. Michael Trautmann starring.

Synopsis
After the sudden disappearance of a local brother and sister, the town of Westlake is put under a curfew by local law enforcement. The annual fair is canceled, much to the annoyance of Killian and Crawford, two brothers attending Bayscout High. They decide to sneak into the woods that night to meet some local girls and shoot off some fireworks.

When their friends do not show up, the two brothers decide to paint the sky. When the fireworks illuminate a structure high up in the trees, they discover a treehouse. Inside it is Elizabeth, whom they recognize from local news reports as the missing sister. She is badly injured and unable to recall what has happened. All she is able to articulate is that "things" took her little brother. Crawford runs for help, while Killian waits with her. Crawford never returns.

What follows is a nightmare journey into hell as the “things” within the woods lay siege to the treehouse. It is only a matter of time before the treehouse – their sanctuary – eventually becomes their tomb. Elizabeth and Killian are forced to find a way out in order to survive and learn the fates of their brothers. Their escape ultimately leads them to a shocking revelation, culminating in a brutal finale with their attackers.

Never underestimate the cool factor and dedication of fans. Wanna see something impressive? Then check out the fan film Dead Island: Riptide - No Retreat from YouTuber pwnisher. Yep... pretty bad-ass.

Toby Turner, Leanna Pareja, Coty Galloway, Jim E. Chandler, and Tommy Groth star.

Read our Dead Island: Riptide review.

Game Synopsis
With invigorating new elements infused into a proven mix, Dead Island: Riptide will reanimate the zombie terror in the original game. A monsoon has hit the once beautiful archipelago, and heavy rainstorms have laid waste to large areas of the islands. The city of Henderson and jungle areas on the island of Palanai were flooded, leaving boats as the only remaining way of transportation. Dynamic weather conditions will force the team members to adapt to changing visibility conditions.

A fifth character will join the team, with an all-new and unique skill set. The combined skills of the group will be sorely needed since terrible, new, and unknown zombie mutations have emerged all over the island.

In new hub defense missions the co-op teamplay skills of the survivors will be tested to the limit – they need to strategically place traps, fences, and turrets to fend off oncoming zombie onslaughts and to protect the humans in these sanctuaries. New communication features in co-op mode also allow players to enjoy an even more intense and strategic teamplay experience.

Dan Aykroyd is at it again. In a recent interview with ABC News, he revealed some small and inconsequential nuggets regarding Ghostbusters 3. Read on if you care.... in our case we're pretty numbed by it all at this point.

"I feel re-encouraged, reinvigorated by the pages that I have seen," said Aykroyd of the script, which is currently about halfway finished thanks to the tireless efforts of writer Etan Cohen. "I know that we're expecting half of the screenplay to be completed very soon. It should be into production by the fall and be shooting by the new year. I won't say anything; it's very exciting. The Higgs boson and the particle theories, gluons and mesons, that really gives us a scientific base in terms of our fictional storytelling, to open up to another dimension and have something horrible come through."

Yep. There you have it.

Bloody Disgusting got word that Miller and Lott are currently shopping the project, which has been described as “'The Walking Dead' meets Mad Max on crack with zombie cage fighting." This movie is the beginning of an action sci-fi franchise that shows how society continues after the zombie apocalypse.

The proposed budget will be less than $10 million, and Miller’s longtime manager Adam Goldworm is producing the film through Aperture Entertainment.

With Manborg finally arriving from Dark Sky Films next week on DVD, On Demand, and Digital - as well as playing in select theaters via TUGG, we've got your chance to win all kinds of goodies!

Up for grabs is Manborg on DVD, a Manborg poster, and a limited edition Manborg t-shirt. And even cooler? Two lucky winners will be getting the whole enchilada!

To enter for your chance to win, just send us an E-MAIL HERE including your FULL NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS. We’ll take care of the rest.

Synopsis:
The forces of Hell have risen to the surface of the Earth to wreak unspeakable havoc on humanity, and it will take a real superhuman to save the world. Or at least Manborg - a spectacular creature of the future and the hero of MANBORG, the cult favorite sci-fi/fantasy homage coming to select theaters and DVD on April 30, 2013, from Dark Sky Films.

The armies of Hell have taken over the Earth, and all that stands in the way of the villainous Count Draculon and humanity's total extinction is a motley crew of misfits led by the mighty Manborg: a warrior who's half-man, half-machine but all hero.

Once a young soldier killed during the first war against Hell, Manborg (Matthew Kennedy, Lazer Ghosts 2) reawakens in the future, rebuilt as a walking weapon and mankind's last hope. Struggling to learn the secret of his origins, Manborg unwittingly befriends a post-apocalyptic Australian punker (Conor Sweeney, Heart of Karl), a knife-wielding vixen (Meredith Sweeney, Father's Day), and a kung fu master (dubbed by Kyle Herbert of DRAGON BALL Z, STREET FIGHTER) before finally squaring off against Count Draculon (Adam Brooks, Father's Day) in a desperate and bloody bid to take back the Earth.

This campy, comedic action flick, which Variety called "enjoyably ridiculous," is also an affectionate and clever tribute to fan favorite '80s films and video games like The Terminator, RoboCop, and Mortal Kombat.

MANBORG is a tour de force for writer-director-editor-makeup artist Steven Kostanski, whose credits include the horror hit Silent Hill and Guillermo del Toro's forthcoming sci-fi adventure Pacific Rim. This lo-fi sci-fi epic from infamous filmmaking collective Astron-6 (Father's Day) was met with an uproariously enthusiastic reception from audiences. Executive produced by TIFF Midnight Madness guru Colin Geddes (Ultra 8 Pictures) and Toronto After Dark's Peter Kupowsky, MANBORG celebrated its world premiere at Austin's 2011 Fantastic Fest and also impressed fans at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival and Fantasia. It has played more than 30 major film festivals worldwide including Whistler, Lund in Sweden, Boston Underground, U.K. Sci-Fi, and Neuchatel in Switzerland.

Special Features:

Spring and love are in the air, but let's face it... so are heavy doses of pollen and broken-hearted misery, too. I mean, you can't force anyone to love you, right? Well, maybe... at least that's the case in the new flick Love Sick Love!

From the Press Release
Amid a cinema landscape of syrupy rom-coms and warm bodied zombies that live happily ever after, director Christian Charles (Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedian, Cheech & Chong’s Hey Watch This) in his latest film LOVE SICK LOVE offers up a film for the romantically challenged.

The film will be available on DVD May 21st from Monarch Home Entertainment.

Dori, a sexy siren, traps Norman, a slick New York businessman, and forces him to live through a year of holidays to prove they're a perfect couple. But with Dori, Valentine's Day, Christmas, and New Year's celebrations take place over one weekend in an isolated country house far from help or a phone tower. The feature stars Matthew Settle ("Gossip Girl") and Swedish actress Katia Winter ("Dexter"), who are joined by Charlotte Rae ("Facts of Life") as Grandma Edna and M. Emmet Walsh (Blood Simple) as Grandpa Ed, along with Jim Gaffigan (Away We Go, Going the Distance) as Settle’s business partner.

The film premiered theatrically at the Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village, New York, on April 19th and will screen at the NoHo Laemmle in Los Angeles on April 26th – expanding to a wider release across ten top US markets.

Starz has opened up the promo floodgates for "Da Vinci's Demons," and we have a couple of behind-the-scenes videos (one with series creator David Goyer) as well as a sneak peek of Episode 1.03, "The Prisoner."

The series stars Tom Riley as a 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci on the cusp of greatness, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman; Laura Haddock as Lucrezia Donati, a celebrated beauty with obscure motives; Elliot Cowan as the shrewd de facto ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici; Lara Pulver as his wife, Clarice Orsini; and Blake Ritson as Pope Sixtus’ ruthless bastard son, Count Riario. David S. Goyer served as showrunner.

“Da Vinci’s Demons” airs Friday nights at 9pm ET/PT on Starz.

In the first BTS look Goyer talks about his inspiration behind the series, and in the second the executive producers and actors describe the fantastical world to be found on the show.

Episode 1.03 - "The Prisoner" (4/26/13 air date):
Riario (Blake Ritson) discusses his defeat with the Pope (James Faulkner) and a mysterious prisoner. An outbreak of demonic possession at a convent is blamed on the Medicis, but Leonardo (Tom Riley) searches for a rational explanation.

In the first clip Clarice (Lara Pulver) and Lucrezia (Laura Haddock) talk about Lorenzo (Elliot Cowan), and in the second Riario (Blake Ritson) and the Pope (James Faulkner) discuss Florence.

Heading into May, the UK's Horror Channel have a number of impressive UK premieres up their sleeves - including Sean Hogan's terrifically chilling The Devil's Business (review here) and Keith Wright's touching and modest Harold's Going Stiff.

And that's not all! They'll also be screening Colin Theys’ Remains and presenting a "Director's Night with Eli Roth." Read on for all the dates and details.

22:55, Sat May 4 – HAROLD’S GOING STIFF (2011)
Keith Wright's very funny and surprisingly touching tale investigates a mystery illness turning men in the north of England into something resembling bloodthirsty ghouls. One such victim is Harold (Stan Rowe), an old man whose transformation into something sub-human might just be arrested by the love of Penny (Sarah Spencer), a dedicated home care nurse. But a group of vigilantes have other ideas.

22:55, Sat May 11 – THE DEVIL’S BUSINESS (2011)
Two hit men, Pinner (Billy Clarke), a cynical veteran, and the inexperienced Cully (Jack Gordon), are sent to murder an old associate of their underworld boss. But things are not all what they seem in their quarry’s house, and the duo descend into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls. Exuding a palpable atmosphere of claustrophobic dread, this is an eerily effective gem from director Sean Hogan.

22:55, Sat May 18 – REMAINS (2011)
A vacant casino in Nevada becomes a hellish battleground as a group of human survivors fight a hard-core zombie apocalypse in which the infected grow smarter and stronger every day. Based on a graphic novel by Steve Niles, award-winning director Colin Theys’ feature stars Miko Hughes, whom fans may recognise as the little boy from the original Pet Sematary.

21:00, Thurs May 30 - DIRECTOR’S NIGHT WITH ELI ROTH
Roth, famed director of Cabin Fever and Hostel, took time out at FrightFest Glasgow 2013 during the screening of his new film, Aftershock, to wax lyrical on his love of Italian zombie movies as he explains why City of the Living Dead and Demons are such great inspirations for him.

You know, Twitter has changed the world and the way that we interact within it. It has helped organize revolutions, report news, and now? Now it's led to a key role in the upcoming adaptation of James Dashner's The Maze Runner being cast.

Director Wes Ball just tweeted that Blake Cooper (pictured) got the pivotal role of Chuck in The Maze Runner. Cooper got Ball’s attention with a flurry of tweets to the director basically saying, “I’m your Chuck!” Ball finally connected the young actor with Fox’s casting director Denise Chamian, who allowed Cooper to send in a self-taped audition for the role. It got him the job. Seriously, how insane is that?

Cooper will join the previously announced Dylan O’Brien ("Teen Wolf"), Will Poulter, Kaya Scodelario, Aml Ameen, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Filming is set to begin in May in Baton Rouge for a February 14, 2014, release. Gotham Group will be producing The Maze Runner with 20th Century Fox. Noah Oppenheim and James Dashner (author of the novel) wrote the script.

Look for more on this flick soon!

Here's the book's synopsis:

When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

Thomas was expected. But the next day a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

The first person shooter Toxin: Zombie Annihilation can now be downloaded for arcade style zombie action on your Android and iOS devices. The game is based off the upcoming horror film TOXIN-3D and will be available for FREE on May 1st.

From the Press Release
Disrupted Logic Interactive presents Toxin: Zombie Annihilation for Android and iOS mobile at the Cannes 2013 Film Festival with the release of IndustryWorks Picture’s feature film TOXIN-3D. Preview Toxin: Zombie Annihilation’s fast action and intense game play.

Toxin: Zombie Annihilation is a First-Person-Shooter for Android and iOS mobile set in the present day where a rogue military commander has unleashed a toxin on unwitting citizens. The toxin has the deadly power of turning ordinary people into mindless killing machines who are impervious to pain. You are Lt. John Paxton, one of the best the military has ever produced. You are armed with a Beretta, an M16 and unlimited grenades. Your mission is to make your way through endless waves of raging zombies and fight your way to saving humanity.

The game’s narrative and structure is inspired by the upcoming stereoscopic 3D action horror motion picture TOXIN-3D directed by Tom Raycove and produced by Evolution Pictures, a division of IndustryWorks Pictures of Vancouver, BC. The feature film is being introduced at the Cannes 2013 Film Festival in Cannes, France, this May 15, 2013 at Booth B-3 Riviera where filmmakers and press can see the movie and play the game. The game will be available as a Free download on May 1, 2013 in celebration of the Cannes movie premiere.

In the movie, the Zombie genre is turned on its head. Colonel Magnuson has stolen a deadly toxin developed by the military to turn soldiers into super fighting machines. The toxin has the undesirable side effect of turning people into Ragers; these are not the dead but rather very much the living! Lt. John Paxton stands as humanity’s only chance for survival against this deadly agent and must stop Magnuson to save the world.

“We wanted to create a game that was simple, intensely fun and gave gamers exposure to our upcoming action horror movie TOXIN-3D. The movie is non-stop action and provides some great excitement. We wanted to capture the same spirit of the film by creating a game that is just a heck of a lot of fun to play.” explains Tom Raycove, CEO and founder of Disrupted Logic Interactive. 

Toxin: Zombie Annihilation released April 16th to iTunes and Google Play worldwide.

Remember Me will release on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC on June 4th. Composer Olivier Deriviere known for his work on Alone in the Dark and Of Orcs and Men has conduced an interactive musical score for Remember Me that will bring the game's futuristic story to life.

From the Press Release
Classically trained multimedia composer Olivier Deriviere (Alone In The Dark, Of Orcs And Men), whose distinctive soundtracks have been recognized by Billboard and The New York Times, has crafted a unique, electronically manipulated live symphonic score for the upcoming action adventure video game Remember Me developed by Dontnod Entertainment and published by Capcom. Deriviere's dynamic emotional score is intricately woven throughout Remember Me's innovative 'memory remix' gameplay experience and immersive futurist story set in Neo-Paris where personal memories are digitized, bought, sold and traded. Remember Me will launch on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC in North America on June 4 and across Europe on June 7, 2013.

Remember Me is a 3rd person action adventure where players take on the role of Nilin, a former elite memory hunter with the ability to break into people's minds and steal or even alter their memories. The authorities, fearful of her knowledge and capabilities have arrested Nilin and wiped her memory clean. After her escape from prison, Nilin sets out on a mission to recover her identity, helped by her last and only friend. This search for her past leads to her being hunted by the very people that created this surveillance society. During the course of the story, Nilin will start remembering who she was and re-learning all the fighting moves that made her one of the world's leading memory hunters.

Olivier Deriviere's interactive musical score for Remember Me features live orchestra that has been digitally processed and manipulated with multiple layers and effects to create a futuristic - but entirely organic and acoustic - musical palette which reflects Nilin's memory loss and the reconstruction of her memories throughout the game.

Described by critics as "Cinematic and magnificent" (GameTrailers), "Fantastic and evocative" (IGN) and "One of the best soundtracks...this generation" (Destructoid), Deriviere's score dynamically reacts to the player's moves during gameplay and contains hidden messages about the story. Preview samples of the music are available on SoundCloud.

The score was recorded with the Philharmonia Orchestra at Air Studios in London by GRAMMY award-winning score engineer John Kurlander and mastered at Universal Mastering Studios in Los Angeles.

Olivier Deriviere has previously scored numerous animation, film and video game soundtracks including the critically acclaimed interactive scores for Alone In The Dark, Of Orcs and Men and the Obscure video game series. Deriviere works with renowned recording studios, world-class engineers and performers, as well as employing the latest software and custom library sounds. An alumnus of Berklee College of Music (Jazz & Film Scoring) and the National Conservatory in Nice, France (Composition and Orchestration), Deriviere has recorded for games with the GRAMMY® award-winning choir The Mystery of Bulgarian Voices, The Boston Cello Quartet, The Boston String Quartet, The Children Choir of the National Opera of Paris and The Philharmonia Orchestra in London. His music has also been performed by the Cannes Symphony Orchestra, Monte Carlo String Quartet, and Utrecht Metropolitan Orchestra and Choir ("Games In Concert").
