New Trailer and Clips for Post-Apocalyptic ‘The Collapse’ Arrive

by Chris Ullrich, May 22 2012 // 2:30 PM

Let’s not forget there’s more to entertainment than what comes out of the collective Hollywood brain trust. And thank goodnesss for that or we would constantly be bombarded with movies like Battleship and endless other Transformers clones.

Fortunately, there’s more independent-minded production companies that try to make more original and edgy fare. One of those companies is Anchor Bay, and while it’s not indie in the strictest sense of the word (it’s owned by Starz), it still tries to bring some edgy and creative work to the table.

One example of this is the upcoming post-apocalyptic thriller The Collapse. In the movie, an “unknown event has catapulted civilization into a fatal downward spiral. The Weaver family — father Scott (John Fantasia), young adult son Aaron (Steve Vieira), mother Emily (Lise Moule) and teenage daughter Rebecca (Anna Ross) — desperately tries to survive.”

Check out the trailer and clips after the break. Look for The Collapsed to arrive on June 5.

Check Out Previews for Tonight’s New Episode of ‘Grimm’

by Joe Gillis, Apr 27 2012 // 12:00 PM

At first, NBC’s Grimm didn’t exactly blow us away. The performances were pretty wooden and the stories, while sorta interesting, still left something to be desired. Fortunately, the show has vastly improved over the course of its first season and has become one of our favorite shows.

As its Friday and Grimm is on tonight, we’ve got previews for tonight’s episode to share with you. This episode promises to be a good one as the final confrontation with the Reapers comes to Nick and his friends. Plus, Nick needs to explain Monroe to Juliette and explores his Aunt’s trailer for better tools to defeat the Reapers.

All the action begins tonight at 9/8C on NBC. Click through to check out the previews.

‘Hannibal’ to Get 13 Episode Run On NBC This Fall

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Apr 20 2012 // 10:45 AM

Bryan Fuller, the creative mastermind behind Wonderfalls, Pushing Daises and choice episodes of Heroes and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, might very well have two new shows on the air next season. We already told you about his two new projects likely to hit screens this season.

Now we are getting word from EW that the already greenlit Hannibal series will have a cable-esque 13 episode season one:

Hannibal, which has received a 13-episode series order, features Lecter solving crimes with empathic FBI profiler Will Graham (Hugh Dancy). For the first time, viewers will spend quality time with Lecter while he’s at large and before the world knows his secrets, working side by side with a similarly brilliant man who is destined to catch him.

What we have is Alfred Hitchcock’s principle of suspense — show the audience the bomb under the table and let them sweat when it’s going to go boom. So the audience knows who Hannibal is so we don’t have to overplay his villainy. We get to subvert his legacy and give the audience twists and turns.

Sounds mighty interesting. If Fuller and company can pull of this tight rope we might have a pretty great show on our hands. Fuller is certainly very capable, but this year will see him tackle two very well known properties. It will be interesting to see how he handles each one.

First Official ‘The House on the End of the Street’ Trailer With Jennifer Lawrence Arrives

by Joe Gillis, Mar 30 2012 // 12:00 PM

Now that The Hunger Games is such a huge success, it makes sense that Relativity Media will be focusing more of their media campaign for the horror film The House at the End of the Street on Games star Jennifer Lawrence. That tactic is pretty evident in the brand new trailer for the film just released.

In it, Lawrence is front and center as Elissa, daughter of single mom Sarah (Elisabeth Shue) who have come to small town America looking for a fresh start. Of course, things don’t go as planned and unexplainable events begin to happen, Sarah and Elissa learn the town is hiding a terrible secret: most of the people in the house next door to them were murdered.

As they learn more, things spiral out of control and they end up in mortal danger. Of course they do.

Actually this sound (and looks) like a pretty good premise for a horror/thriller. And let’s be honest, Shue and Lawrence make quite the mother/daughter team.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for The House on the End of the Street to hit theaters on September 21.

Chloe Moretz To Play The Lead in an All New ‘Carrie’ Adaptation

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Mar 27 2012 // 3:00 PM

The young career of Chloe Moretz has been stellar. Every project she has taken has been interesting and varied, and at the young age of fifteen she already has shown more range than a few of her Oscar winning elders.

So when Deadline reports she is joining the cast as the lead in an all new adaptation of Stephen King’s Carrie you know there is a good chance the movie is going to be good.

She’s expected to play the shy high school student Carrie White, who is raised by a nightmarish religious fanatic mother, and comes to grip with devastating telepathic powers just as she reaches puberty. She eventually uses those gifts for lethal means when fellow classmates use the prom as an excuse to humiliate her before the entire school in a parable about bullying.

We have already seen young Ms. Moretz dazzle in a moody horror role, but to take on the lead in Carrie can take her to the next level. Another interesting angle on this story is that Chloe is currently a little younger than a typical high school senior would be.

Usually these sorts of roles are filled with 20 somethings, so perhaps the younger looking Moretz will have an even larger visual difference between her classmates to punctuate her outsider, lonely demeanor.

‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2 Finale Was a Huge Ratings Win

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Mar 20 2012 // 1:30 PM

One of the most surprising facets of the hit AMC show The Walking Dead is how much of a ratings blockbuster it can be. It is particularly intriguing due to the fact that genre, horror and comic book based shows rarely dominate in the ratings.

When The Walking Dead premiered it smashed all expectations and became the highest rated show in the history of AMC. It actually continued to gain momentum with the season one finale bringing in more viewers, which was in turn also true of the season two premiere.

Falling in line with that very positive trend, the season 2 finale, which aired this past weekend, again broke it’s own record by becoming the highest rated episode in show history. All of this continued succsess despite the very public problems this show had this season is telling of the over all popularity.

First Full ‘Dark Shadows’ Trailer With Johnny Depp and More Arrives

by Joe Gillis, Mar 16 2012 // 7:30 AM

Even though there’s a lot of movies being made from TV shows these days, that doesn’t mean we don’t have room for one more. That’s especially true when you combine the talents of Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Eve Green, Chloe Moretz and Tim Burton.

In fact, that’s just what Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow have done with the upcoming film Dark Shadows. Based on the popular 70s TV series of the same name, the film features Depp as vampire Barnabas Collins and his re-emergence in 1972.

We’ve got the first full trailer from the film to share with you today. Watching the trailer it seems Burton has decided this is more of a comedy than the original series, which may or may not please fans. However, whatever Burton and company end up doing, you can be sure there’s going to be a lot of black, a lot of pasty people and probably some snow.

Check out the trailer after the break. Look for Dark Shadows to hit theaters on May 11.

Movie Review: ‘Silent House’

by Nat Almirall, Mar 12 2012 // 11:30 AM

This decent thriller and remake of the Uruguayan film La Casa Muda is more fun than scary — the jumps, false alarms, little girls, bumps in the night, close-ups of the heroine’s boobies, etc. — border on abuse they’re used so often; first it’s spooky, then it’s overused, then it comes back around to being funny, like a joke that goes on and keeps going.

I counted at least three times the heroine hid under something. First a dining table, then a bed, then a pool table while someone ominously walked around and/or spotted and made snatch for her. Three times something crashed off camera and someone else dismissed it.

Twice a character appears to be dead; four times a little girl, ostensibly meant to inspire terror, appears from nowhere; twice does someone mysteriously stuff something down their pants; and a whopping eight-and-a-half times is the heroine surprised by something benign.

New ‘The Cabin In The Woods’ :60 Second Spot Promises Thrills And Chills

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Mar 7 2012 // 3:00 PM

Don’t worry whedonites, The Avengers isn’t the only Joss Whedon related project coming out in 2012. The Cabin in the Woods, a film that Whedon produced, is heading to theaters in just over a month.

The long delayed project is finally going to see the light of day, and early word is that the film delivers big time. One of the main thrills of the movie is it’s twists and turns, so we here at The Flickcast have been careful not to be spoiled.

Thankfully Lionsgate just released a new, and concise trailer in advance of this week’s premiere at the SXSW festival. For those of you who are completely in the black about what this movie is, the official synopsis sums it up well:

Five friends go to a remote cabin in the woods. Bad things happen. 

If you think you know this story, think again. From fan favorites Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard comes THE CABIN IN THE WOODS, a mind blowing horror film that turns the genre inside out.

The trailer hints that this film is more than your average lonely cabin horror film, but we are no doubt in for crazy twist on the classic horror set up.

Check out the new trailer after the jump.

Another New ‘ParaNorman’ Trailer Finally Sheds Light On The Story

by Jonathan Weilbaecher, Mar 2 2012 // 3:00 PM

There are three very high profile groups that are making stop-motion animated films these days. 2012 is a marquee year for the art form as all three are releasing high profile films.

Odds on favorite to be the best of the bunch is ParaNorman by the people who brought us the tremendous Coraline a few years ago. We have seen a couple teasers so far for this movie, but now we have a brand new full trailer to really sink our teeth into.

In case you are unaware of what ParaNorman is about, here is the synopsis:

In ParaNorman, a small town comes under siege by zombies. Who can it call? Only misunderstood local boy Norman (voiced by Kodi Smit-McPhee), who is able to speak with the dead. In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse. But this young ghoul whisperer may find his paranormal activities pushed to their otherworldly limits.

This one is very high on our radar, and looks to be one of the best animated films of the year.

The movie is set to be released this august and you can check out the full trailer after the jump.

First Trailer for Adam Green’s Horror Sitcom ‘Holliston’ Hits the Web

by Matt Raub, Feb 16 2012 // 11:30 AM

Horror is slowly becoming more and more a mainstream genre for today’s TV audience. With shows like The River and Walking Dead becoming popular staples of TV culture, and films like The Devil Inside and Paranormal Activity coming out of the woodwork and wooing American audiences, it only makes sense that a few modern horror icons like Adam Green and Joe Lynch would capitalize and use that to their advantage.

Enter their newest project, Holliston, which is unlike anything they’ve done before. It’s a sitcom that takes place in the horror world, with some of the biggest names in the genre stopping by along the way. Here’s the breakdown from FEARnet.

“Holliston” is FEARnet’s first original scripted television series, and is a riotous and offbeat multi-camera, buddy comedy set in the town of Holliston, MA.  Pegged as “The Big Bang Theory” meets “Evil Dead II,” “Holliston” shines a light on the post-college life where everything is a struggle, and nothing works out like it’s supposed to, with terrifyingly funny results as Adam and Joe struggle to become big-time horror filmmakers and make ends meet.  The series, and the SXSW session, reach beyond genre and horror.

“Holliston” also stars Corri English (“Unrest,” “The Bedford Diaries,” lead singer of Brokedown Cadillac), Laura Ortiz (“The Hills Have Eyes,” “Horton Hears A Who”), Dee Snider (Twisted Sister, “Strangeland,” radio/television personality) and Oderus Urungus (alien lead singer from legendary heavy metal band “GWAR”). FEARnet television debuts “Holliston” on Tuesday, April 3, 2012 at 10:30 p.m. ET, with a special sneak preview event hosted by Green and Co-Star Joe Lynch on Sunday, April 1 at 10 p.m.

Take a look at the first trailer after the jump, and join the whole gang on April 1st over on FEARnet for the premiere.

Check Out ‘The Temple’ on Amazon Movies from Alex Greenfield

by John Carle, Feb 1 2012 // 1:30 PM

One thing we’ve always supported is independent production of film, tv, comics and games. As an independently operated news site, we understand how hard it is to break through to that next level. It is also great to hear when one of The Flickcast’s supporters gets an opportunity to bring one of their artistic visions to life.

Alex Greenfield is one of those supporters. Alex is best known for being the former lead writer on WWE’s SmackDown brand as well as two TV movies, Street Warrior and Jack’s Family Adventure. Last week, Alex and his writing partner Michael K Eitelman released The Temple through Amazon Studios.

We got the chance to talk briefly with Alex and he told us about both his inspiration behind The Temple as well as a little bit of the creative process.

My dad read me “The Rats in the Walls” when I was like five, literally sitting around a campfire. Let’s agree to ignore the parenting questions that anecdote raises and skip right to the fact that I became a Lovecraft addict before I could read. It was only a matter of time before I would dip my pen in the Mythos well.
