Video Interviews with ‘Legion’ Stars Dennis Quaid, Adrianne Palicki & Paul Bettany
Sony Screen Gems declares war on man tomorrow when Legion arrives in theaters everywhere. In addition to the two video interviews we posted yesterday (with Tyerese Gibson and Kate Walsh), beyond the break you’ll find our exclusive one-on-one chats with stars Dennis Quaid, Adrianne Palicki and Paul Bettany. An obviously incredibly bored Quaid talks about hating working in the horror genre, but liking the stories, the twisted story with a big draw and religious themes of the Scott Stewart directed thriller. Adrianne Palicki talks similarities between Constantine and Terminator, taking inspiration from Linda Hamilton and the future of the franchise (minor spoilers), along with the difficulties of running around with a prosthetic, weighted stomach (she’s pregnant). Topliner Paul Bettany gets into playing a larger than life biblical figure and his perception of the Terminator similarities and the film’s multiple homage to various flicks, such as Dawn of the Dead (one his fav films).
“In the supernatural action thriller Legion, an out-of-the-way diner becomes the unlikely battleground for the survival of the human race. When God loses faith in Mankind, he sends his legion of angels to bring on the Apocalypse. Humanity’s only hope lies in a group of strangers trapped in a desert diner and the Archangel Michael (Paul Bettany).”
Watch 6 clips from the film:
A gnarly infection threatens to claw its way out of a moving camper in the first trailer for Shudder’s claustrophobic Hellcat.
The feature debut of writer/editor/director Brock Bodell, who previously edited the Fantasia title Ultrasound, makes its debut on Shudder on August 14.
In Hellcat, “Lena wakes up in a moving camper trailer with a horrifying wound. She’s warned by the driver that they have one hour to get to a doctor, or she’ll succumb to an unimaginably awful fate. As the pain sets in and reality begins to fray, who should really be afraid?”
Dakota Gorman (Natural Disasters) leads the cast that also includes Todd Terry (“Breaking Bad”), Liz Atwater (The Other People), Jordan Mullins (The Bikeriders), and James Austin Johnson (“Saturday Night Live”) in a voice role. Bodell also produces alongside Andrew Duensing and Nate Eggert.
Hellcat made its world premiere last summer at Fantasia. I wrote in my review, “Hellcat is a bit of a Trojan horror that defies easy classification, by design. Bodell’s sneaky debut feature is occasionally too sparse in its worldbuilding in its bid to preserve the mystery, but not enough to detract from the thrilling road thriller that transforms into a completely left-field type of horror we don’t get nearly enough of. The stripped-down tribute to a classic horror staple catches you off guard in more ways than one, marking Bodell as one to watch.”
In other words, there’s a lot more than meets the eye to Hellcat‘s simple infection setup, delivering plenty of surprises along its bumpy road of horrors.
Check out the trailer and poster below and add Hellcat to your watchlists asap.
