Trailer - "The Thing"

I still have my worries about this one, but for now, the trailer and poster have set my fears at rest about the new The Thing reboot/prequel. The original is one of the best horrors ever, finding director John Carpenter at the top of his game and features nail biting paranoia, gut wrenching violence and some of the best prosthetic work ever seen on celluloid. This film takes place before the events of the 1982 film and is supposed to segue directly into Kurt Russels 'MacReady' and band of Artic scientists. It's hard to be too negative about this effort seeing as Carpenters was also a remake of a 1951 film and look how mind blowing that turned out to be. Hopefully this won't let the legions of fans down, eager to see this creature done the justice it deserves on screen. The film is released on December 2nd.

Poster - "The Dark Knight Rises"

Today we get the first look at Gotham in three years and my oh my has it had some redecorating. The first poster of The Dark Knight Rises has finally debuted and it follows the franchises tradition for stunning teasers. Of course it doesn't really show much of anything here, but is very atmospheric stuff. No word yet on whether or not this is a sign that a manner of all sh*t is going to hit the fan in Gotham but it is all very mouth watering. This scant bit of news will have to do until the teaser trailer is revealed at the end of the week, rumouring to be in front of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollows: Part II. The film is released on July 20th next year.

Poster - "[.rec] Genesis" & "[.rec] Apocalypse"

Fantastic news for fans of the modern horror classic "[.rec]" series. Two posters have debuted online for the upcoming prequel/sequel. It seems that Directing team on the first two films, Jaume Balaguero and Paco Plaza will split up and direct one of the two films each. "Genesis" will be released in 2011 with "Apocalypse" rounding off the series in epic and bloody style in 2012. More information can be found here.
