[UPDATED]Weapons Clash In The Intense New Teaser For THE DEAD LANDS!

I don’t know how excited you are about seeing what period Maori martial arts action looks like on the big screen, but I’m frickin stoked! The first official teaser arrived this week for director Toa Fraser‘s new film, The Dead Lands, which has earned a pretty good headstart in building up a fair amount of hype since production process began late last year. The film has been billed as a genuine Maori-language period action drama that promises to deliver nothing short an exhiliarating, full-scale, exciting filmgoing experience. So far however, the only experience most on-lookers online have been getting were various production photos, as well as a slate of new HD stills back in June, while some have already screen the film exclusively. And the mood, as it stands, has been nothing short of upbeat. SYNOPSIS: Hongi, a Maori chieftain’s teenage son, must avenge his father’s murder in order to […]

Lee B. Golden III

Following the release of a new poster for director Gary Shore‘s directorial debut, Dracula Untold, the first full teaser arrived on Tuesday with actor Luke Evans front and center in the title role of Prince Vlad Tepes (a.k.a. Vlad the Impaler). There’s plenty of origin shown here so there isn’t too much to worry about what lies ahead when the film releases later this year, especially if you’re looking for something fitting to see come Halloween, in which case, you’ll likely get a hefty treat watching Dracula unleash his brutal onslaught of nightmarish tricks on entire armies, and then some! Evans is joined by Sarah Gadon, Dominic Cooper and Diarmaid Murtagh for the film’s IMAX and 2D release on October 17.

Lee B. Golden III

Action blockbusters won’t be running low with actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson taking the lead this July with the forthcoming release of his newest adventure thriller, Hercules from director Brett Ratner. And if it comes as close to author Steve Moore’s original novel as some book enthusiasts and action junkies like may hope, then you can chalk this up as another successful installment into a potential franchise with a sequel. Yes indeed, there are more books from whence this film came via its roots at Radical Comics in 2009, and with any luck, Johnson might say yes. Well, I hope he does at least. This one looks grizzled as all mighty hell with a splash of chilli. Bring ice. Check out the new trailer below and mark your calendar for July 25! SYNOPSIS: Fourteen hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules […]
