New Poster Released For "The Mummy"

A new poster has been released for Alex Kurtzman's "The Mummy". The film lands in theatres June 9th. I am still on the fence about this one but so far I like more about it than I hate...so far.

"Tom Cruise headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures all over the world since the dawn of civilization: The Mummy.

Thought safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess (Sofia Boutella of Kingsman: The Secret Service and Star Trek Beyond) whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Cruise is joined by a cast including Annabelle Wallis (upcoming King Arthur, television’s Peaky Blinders), Jake Johnson (Jurassic World), Courtney B. Vance (TV’s American Crime Story: The People V. O.J. Simpson) and Oscar® winner Russell Crowe (Gladiator).

The creative team on this action-adventure event is led by director/producer Alex Kurtzman and producer Chris Morgan, who have been instrumental in growing some of the most successful franchises of the past several years—with Kurtzman writing or producing entries in the Transformers, Star Trek and Mission: Impossible series, and Morgan being the narrative engineer of the Fast & Furious saga as it has experienced explosive growth from its third chapter on. Sean Daniel, who produced the most recent Mummy trilogy, produces alongside Kurtzman and Morgan."

Exclusive Stills From Upcoming Dracula Short "The Fangs Of Fame"

Simon McKeon and company are soon to be reconnectin us to his personal play on Dracula, and life after the iconic tales. "The Fangs Of Fame" horror short checks back in with Drac after the practically apocalyptic Christmas party. The film is still deep in production but I have snagged some cool exclusive stills from Simon McKeon to share with you guys!

Set two years after the events of Christmas At Dracula's and the Count is now famous for saving the world. The short revolves around a sort of Frost/Nixon style interview where Dracula contemplates what it's like to be famous.

We are busy in production with our short The Milk Run so you don't know when the short itself, "The Fangs of Fame" is going to drop, or where it's going to drop but it will be soon. I promise. ha ha. - Simon McKeon 

The stills do give off that Frost/Nixon vibe McKeon mentions. A brooding and stoic Dracula is evident in the shots and a heavy philisophical air permeates the atmosphere of the scenes much as "Christmas At Dracula's" possessed. It should be noted that Dracula's loyal side dude, Igor,  is missing from these shots but given his eluded to resurrection at the end of "Christmas At Dracula's" his presence will not be absent from "The Fangs Of Fame". 

Check out the exclusive stills below. Stay tuned for more exclusives and eventual release date.

Hex Media Announces New Horror Anthology 'For We Are Many'

Hex Media founder Lawrie Brewster and producer Alex Harron are developing the new anthology, described as 'a collection of original, international horror shorts inspired by daemonology and the occult'.

The film will feature a host of familiar names as well as providing an exciting opportunity for up-and-coming filmmakers to get involved. Among the directors already confirmed are FrightFest Alumni Liam Regan (Banjo), Brad Watson (Hallow's Eve), Katie Bonham (Mindless) and genre icon Nicholas Vince, best known for his roles as the chatterer in Hellraiser and Kinski in Nightbreed, as well as Frank Woodward (writer of Wrong Turn 6:Last Resort),

For We Are Many will feature a large selection of horror shorts, each based on a particular demonic entity or occult theme, with an emphasis on intense horror, imaginative practical effects and original stories. Hex Media are also seeking exciting new voices in the genre to contribute to the project.

According to Lawrie Brewster; “We are deeply passionate about seeking out new talent in the horror genre, and helping to provide a platform for those with creative aspirations. Plenty of extremely talented filmmakers are putting out great short content, only for it to languish on YouTube. We thought that, with a little support and collaboration, we could instead give directors the opportunity to be part of something bigger that we hope can act as a springboard for their careers – and make something pretty amazing and unique in the process.”

Hex Media has big ambitions in the genre with two features under their belt and another two in post-production. This latest project is an extension of their goal to produce truly independent, fiercely original horror.

Hex Media will also distribute the film, adding it to the growing catalogue of their fledgling distribution wing and building on the success of their combined VOD/Special Edition model. The film is set for release in Spring 2018.

If you are a filmmaker and want to get involved with For We Are Many, head over to Hex Media's website https://hexmedia.tv for more info on the project and how to be part of it.
