Shudder has released a crazy messed-up bloody trailer for the upcoming horror film Stay Out of the Attic. The film follows a group of house movers who accidentally uncover a secret Nazi laboratory in a house they are working in. As you’ll see in the trailer, things escalate into complete insanity after they find the lab in the attic.

Here’s the synopsis:

A diverse group of ex-cons-turned-movers—played by Morgan Alexandria (Forever My Girl), Ryan Francis (Sisters) and Bryce Fernelius (Ruling of the Heart)—are convinced by their creepy client, Vern Muller (Michael Flynn, The Outpost), to pull an all-nighter for a generous pay bump. As the night progresses and rooms are cleared, they slowly uncover the horrors that exist inside his old Victorian mansion, including boobytraps, human experimentation, Nazi monsters and more. Will they survive the night?

The film is written and directed by Jerren Lauder (Bug Bites) and it will be released on Shudder March 11, 2021.

New Zack Snyder’s Justice League Teaser Spotlights the Man of Steel

Zack Snyder has released another character teaser for his long-awaited director’s cut of Justice League, featuring new footage from the HBO Max film. After unveiling the Batman promo yesterday, the new 50-second video now turns the spotlight to Henry Cavill’s Superman as he dons the hero’s iconic black suit. Check out the video in the player below!

Snyder probably has the best connection with the character of Superman as his 2013 film Man of Steel was the first installment of the growing DCEU franchise. It was also at the film’s virtual screening last year where Snyder officially confirmed that Warner Bros. would finally be releasing his director’s cut.

Justice League will be hitting HBO Max as a four-hour movie on March 18. It was originally revealed at DC FanDome that the movie will release on HBO Max in 2021 by being broken up into four one-hour parts that will also be released as one four-hour film, but will now solely be released as a one-off film instead of the four-part series. Snyder says that there will be no after-credits scenes.

Zack Snyder’s Justice League reportedly cost around $70 million in order to properly finish the editing and visual effects of the director’s original vision, as well as the additional photography. The original post-production crew is also expected to return along with the cast members to record additional dialogue for the cut. 

Fueled by the hero’s restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Justice League sees Bruce Wayne enlist the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League, which features a screenplay from Chris Terrio from a story by Snyder and Terrio, stars Ben Affleck as Batman, Henry Cavill as Superman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ezra Miller as The Flash, Ray Fisher as Cyborg, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor, Jeremy Irons as Alfred Pennyworth, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, with J.K. Simmons as Commissioner Gordon, and Amy Adams as Lois Lane.

Released in November 2017, the film earned mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike, praising the action and performances from Gadot and Miller while criticizing every other aspect of the film, namely the inconsistent tone that many fault Joss Whedon (The Avengers) for after taking over directorial duties from Snyder. With a large budget of $300 million and a break-even point of $750 million, the film is considered a box office bomb having grossed only $658 million.

Hellsing: Amazon & John Wick Writer Adapting Japanese Manga into Film

According to Deadline, Amazon Studios is in the process of developing a live-action film adaptation of Hellsing, based on Kouta Hirano’s popular action-horror manga of the same name. John Wick scribe Derek Kolstad has officially signed on to the project to pen and executive produce the adaptation.

“Ever since my brother introduced me to the Hellsing manga and anime some years ago, I’ve been obsessed with adapting it,” Kolstad said. “And when Mike Callaghan and his team managed to secure the rights to then partner us up with Brian Kavanaugh-Jones and Amazon, I mean -damn, dude- this is a dream.”

Pick up a copy of the first volume here!

The Hellsing film is the latest addition to Kolstad’s growing list of projects including the highly-anticipated fourth installment to John Wick; The Man From Nowhere English remake; My Friend Pedro series; and Constantin Films’ film adaptation of the Just Cause video game. His next writing projects are the upcoming MCU series The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, and Universal’s action-thriller Nobody which are both set to be released this month.

Hellsing was written and illustrated by Kouta Hirano. It tells a reimagined story of Dracula where it centered around  Alucard, a special agent bound to The Hellsing Organization, under the leadership of Integra Hellsing, great-granddaughter of Abraham Van Hellsing, to aid them in their mission to protect England and the world from vampires, ghouls, and other supernatural threats. The manga also focuses on Hellsing’s newest recruit, a female ex-police officer named Seras Victoria.

The original manga series was first serialized in Shōnen Gahōsha’s Japanese manga magazine called Young King OURS from 1997-2008. Later on, it was licensed for an English language release by Dark Horse Comics. Hirano had also released a prequel manga series to Hellsing titled The Dawn which was published in special editions of Young King OURS from 2001 to 2009. The manga was also adapted into a 10-episode anime series by Gonzo which ran on-air from 2001-2002.

We’ve got a new Chinese trailer to share with you for Godzilla Vs. Kong. This one puts a major focus on King Kong offering a little insight on his backstory and the relationship he has with that little girl that we’ve seen in previously released trailers. There’s also a lot of other new footage that fans might be excited about seeing featuring Godzilla and Kong clashing with each other.

The crossover event film will pit two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another — the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong — with humanity caught in the balance.

The film was directed by Adam Wingard (The Guest, You’re Next, Death Note), and the synopsis reads:

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.

As the gigantic Kong meets the unstoppable Godzilla, the world watches to see which one of them will become King of the Monsters.

It’s been explained by the director that one of the two will win. I have a feeling that it will end up being Kong because he’s kind of the underdog and it’s always fun to root for the underdog.

The film stars Millie Bobby Brown (Stranger Things), Brian Tyree Henry (Atlanta), Rebecca Hall (Iron Man 3), Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2), Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead), Jessica Henwick (Iron Fist), Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood), Shun Oguri (Gintama), Eiza Gonzalez (Baby Driver), Kyle Chandler (Friday Night Lights), Demian Bichir (The Nun), Van Marten (The Walking Dead), and Zhang Ziyi (Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon).

Godzilla Vs. Kong is set to hit theaters and HBO Max simultaneously on May 21, 2021.

CS Soapbox: Why Ken Jeong Should Replace T.I. in Ant-Man 3

With 50% of all living creatures wiped out of existence, the universe needed a savior in Avengers: Endgame. Enter U Store’s (Self Storage) resident security dude, who pushed the button that made it possible for Ant-Man to return from the Quantum Realm. Scott Lang would go on to help save the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it, but not before Ken Jeong’s security guard freed him from that warehouse prison—every hero needs a sidekick. 

Jeong’s Endgame appearance was part of a series of related cameos in the MCU. Before directing Captain America: The Winter Soldier, the Russo brothers worked on the NBC sitcom Community. When they were hired by Marvel Studios, they brought some Community alum along with them. 

Following Danny Pudi’s cameo in The Winter Soldier, Community cameos became a sort of running joke in the MCU; everyone from Yvette Nicole Brown (also in Endgame), Donald Glover, and Jim Rash to Aaron Himelstein and DC Pierson have made an appearance (Brie Larson and Randall Park have even become recurring characters). Now, there’s an opportunity for Jeong’s security guard to become a full-fledged character in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. 

RELATED: Ant-Man 3: Rapper T.I. Will Not Return For Quantumania

If you haven’t heard, T.I. will not be returning alongside Paul Rudd in the threequel. The news comes amidst allegations against the rapper/actor and his wife for “sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, false imprisonment, intimidation, assault and harassment.” T.I. was never formally announced as part of Ant-Man 3 so he may not have been a part of the film in the first place. However, it seems unlikely the writers wouldn’t want to keep the franchise’s comedic trifecta intact. 

T.I. debuted alongside Scott’s friend Luis (Michael Peña) as fellow ex-con Dave. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, Scott, Luis (Michael Peña), Dave, and Kurt (David Dastmalchian) ran a security company astutely named Ex-Con. That said, if Scott’s crew is going to remain full it’ll need a new quirky character, and who better than Jeong’s inaudible security guard with an affinity for JG Ballard’s The Terminal Beach? 

After “Security Guard” got Scott out of the storage cage, they presumably had some interaction offscreen. He probably told Scott about Thanos, the past five years, and maybe they even talked a little shop. After all, they’re both in the security game—which is why it makes sense for Scott, having lost Dave, to bring his new friend into the fold as a hilarious foil to Luis and Kurt. In fact, it makes so much sense, it’s probably already happening.

With over 20 years of acting credits, Jeong has established comedic chemistry with pretty much everyone. We tend to associate him with belligerent characters like The Hangover’s Mr. Chow, crying “toodle-oo motherf*ckers” in an exaggerated accent. Despite limited screen time, he always seems to steal the show. From appearances in Crazy Rich Asians, Community as a tyrant hell-bent on Greendale domination, or even across from Rudd in Role Models, and working with Peña recently in Tom and Jerry, Jeong is built for larger-than-life supporting roles. However, he didn’t always have to be loud to get his point across. Sometimes all it takes is 9 seconds of silence and a Tom Selleck stache. 

We took notice of Endgame’s intrepid defender of storage. So, ditch the hat and give the man a name. Since Endgame was reportedly the Russos’ last Marvel film, the move would solidify Greendale Community College’s unspoken hold over the MCU—a subtle reminder of the cinematic universe’s best entries. In Ant-Man 3 his character could be nuanced, awkward and nerdy (for lack of a better word), worthy of the science fiction he reads. A turn similar to when he donned the white coat for his sitcom Dr. Ken. With a villain as infectious as Kang the Conqueror on the horizon, a hero, or rather, a sidekick, is just what the doctor ordered.
