Dino-Madness in ‘The Land That Time Forgot’
Flying under all of our radars, production is expected to begin next week on a remake of The Land that Time Forgot, based on the classic book by Edgar Rice Burroughs, later remade into a 1975 film, reports Moviehole.net. Actor C.Thomas Howell will be behind the camera directing from a script by Darren Dalton (Scanner Cop). The site reports that the flick stars Howell (The Hitcher, Gettysburg), Christopher Showerman (George of the Jungle 2, Commander and Chief), and Timothy Bottoms, who coincidentally was a star of the recent “Land of the Lost” TV series which aired from 1991-1992. The original takes place during World War I, where a German U-boat sinks a British ship and takes the survivors on board. After it takes a wrong turn, the submarine takes them to the unknown land of Caprona, where they find dinosaurs and neanderthals. Awesome trailer beyond the break.
“It’s action, danger and and adventure on an epic scale!”

‘Nightborn’ Trailer Teases a Monstrous Newborn in Shudder’s Horror Film from ‘Hatching’ Filmmaker
There’s something seriously wrong with the newborn in the first trailer for dark fable Nightborn, from Hatching filmmaker Hanna Bergholm.
Nightborn will make its premiere at Fantasia on July 22 before debuting on Shudder on July 31.
Motherhood appears to be a very violent, bloody affair in the below trailer and poster.
In Nightborn, “With dreams of starting a perfect family, Saga and her British husband Jon move to the isolated house where she spent much of her childhood, deep in the Finnish forest. But as soon as their baby is born, despite the reassurance of all around her, Saga knows there’s something terribly wrong with her son. As their marriage starts to crack, Jon struggles to support his wife, but only Saga suspects the terrible truth about her newborn.”
Seidi Haarla (Compartment No. 6) and Rupert Grint (Knock at the Cabin, “Servant”) star in the film described as ” a visceral, gripping and terrifying dark fable about motherhood and unconditional maternal love.”
The cast also includes Pamela Tola, Pirkko Saisio, Rebecca Lacey and John Thomson.
“Hanna Bergholm’s audacious sophomore follow up to Hatching delivers tension and shocking moments surrounding parenthood and self discovery — with a touch of humor,” said Emily Gotto, senior vice president of acquisitions and production at Shudder. “We are thrilled to share Nightborn with audiences.”
Expect Nightborn to pull from Nordic folklore. Bergholm explained in a statement, “In Nordic countries, there’s a long-standing mythology of trolls living in the forests. In ancient times, people truly believed that trolls inhabited the woods and had a kind of control over nature. And in Nightborn, the forest reflects Saga’s emotions and the animalistic, primitive physical side of humankind.”
