Official Teaser Trailer For Scream 4 Is Now Online!

  |    by: films

Earlier this week Scream fans were treated (kind of) to leaked footage of the Scream 4 teaser trailer which premiered at the Spike TV Scream Awards this past weekend. Well following the leaks, Dimension Pictures have now released the full Scream 4 teaser trailer online!

The trailer, which is an extended cut and features footage not seen at the Scream Awards, also gives us a glimpse at the new “rules” of horror as mentioned by Wes Craven previously:

“I think it has echoes to the first [film],” says director Wes Craven. “There’s been a whole decade of horror films that in one way or another followed a certain pattern. Like you had torture free porn, [and] a ton of remakes. The first [Scream] was very much observing where horror had been for the last 10 to 20 years. And this is very much looking at where horror has been for the last 10 years. There’s always somebody trying to figure out what the rules are to keep from getting killed.”

Check it out below:

The horror series that reignited the genre and grossed more than $500 million worldwide is back! From Kevin Williamson, creator of the original Scream trilogy, the new film sees the return of cast members Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette along with a group of new stars, who can all hopefully stay alive long enough to figure out the new rules to this one-of-a-kind horror franchise!

Faster – US Red Band Trailer Online

  |    by: films

Faster looks like it belongs in another era. The 1970s – and directed by ‘Bloody’ Sam Peckinpah. Dwayne Johnson ditches The Tooth Fairy costume and has raced away from Witch Mountain to portray a man on the carnage-strewn road to revenge. He plays Driver and judging from this new red band US trailer – he doesn’t mess around. More shoots people stone cold dead. Capiche?

At this point in time it is difficult to say whether it’ll be a cult classic or a high class attempt at nothing more than a Steven Segal movie. This writer really hopes it’s the former – and definitely not the latter. It’s got a Clint Mansell score, so that adds to its credentials, surely?

Joining Dwayne Johnson for the ride is Billy Bob Thornton, Maggie Grace (probably being kidnapped – again), Carla Gugino and Tom Berenger. Directing is George Tillman Jr.

I suggest the poster tagline should be: ‘Faster, Dwayne Johnson! Kill Kill!’

Synopsis:

After 10 years in prison, Driver (Dwayne Johnson) has a singular focus – to avenge the murder of his brother during the botched robbery that led to his imprisonment. Now a free man with a deadly to-do list in hand, he’s finally on his mission…but with two men on his trail – veteran cop (Billy Bob Thornton) just days from retirement, and a young egocentric hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) with a flair for the art of killing and a newfound worthy opponent. The hunter is also the hunted. It’s a do or die race to the list’s finish as the mystery surrounding his brother’s murder deepens, and new details emerge along the way hinting that Driver’s list may be incomplete.

David Tennant Cast As Peter Vincent In Fright Night

  |    by: films

This is a marvellous piece of casting news (via Heat Vision Blog) if ever there was any. Former Doctor Who star, David Tennant, has signed up to play the role of a much younger version of Peter Vincent in the remake of Fright Night. He’s no longer a former horror movie star but now a Vegas magician on hard times. He’ll be joined by none other than Christopher Mintz-Plasse as Evil Ed.

Earlier in the week, Marti Noxon gave Variety some little snippets of information the most important one revealing the film has moved away from its suburban America setting to the razzle-dazzle of La Vegas. Moviehole ran a couple of character/casting descriptions back in May that reveal some crucial facts about this forthcoming, Craig Gillespie-directed, horror flick. They do contain spoilers…so avert your eyes if you don’t want to know anything. For the rest of us:

Evil Ed – ‘Evil Ed’ is an emo…. or a comic-book loving punk. ‘Ed’ believes he and Charlie’s pal Adam has gone missing. Adam, you see, hasn’t been answering his text messages because he and his family have been slaughtered by vampires. Even when Ed discovers the truth, that vampires killed Adam and his family, nobody – not even Charlie, who suggests his friend has been watching too much “Twilight” – believes him. Ed is ultimately turned by the vampire ‘Jerry’ into a black-eyed, sharp toothed monster (not even Peter’s “crucification nails” are a match for him).

Peter Vincent – TVs ‘Master of Illusion’. Really knows his vampires – has had a history with them. Huge fan base. Lives in a Penthouse. Has an assistant, Arthur. When Ed infiltrates his home, he and Charlie are forced to hide out in the ‘Panic Room’. Serves as somewhat of a Yoda-figure to Charlie – especially near the pictures’ end, when Charlie needs to save Peter.

All in all this could be a brilliant film. Can’t wait to see it. David Tennant and Christopher Mintz-Plasse join Colin Farrell, Toni Colette and Anton Yelchin.
