Young ‘Zombie Girl’ Debuts Trailer for ‘My Sucky Teen Romance’
Young Emily Hagins is taking a stab once again at the horror genre with My Sucky Teen Romance, a new vampire movie currently filming in Austin, Texas. Hagins was the subject of of the documentary Zombie Girl: The Movie, which follows here exploits at the age of 12(!) attempting to make a zombie movie. If you’ve seen the doc, you’ll know what a learning experience it was. Now, Hagins released the first trailer from My Sucky Teen Romance with hopes of finding a little more money (approximately $5,000) to completel the film. Here’s the logline: “In a culture that is currently overrun with romanticized vampires, it is up to four geeky teenagers to defend their friend and beloved sci-fi convention from a group of very real, and very blood-thirsty vampires.” I personally can’t wait to see what she can deliver at the age of 17, already loaded with real-life experience.
Full Synopsis:
“On 17-year-old Kate’s last weekend in town, she and her friends plan to spend it together at SpaceCON- the local science fiction convention they attend every year. At the convention Kate meets Paul, a recently turned teen-vampire (who is also dressed as one). But when Kate tries to make a move on him, he accidentally bites her in the neck. Kate and her friends soon discover Paul is not the only vampire at the convention, and it is up to them to stop the vampires and find a way to turn Kate back before it is too late.”

Brendan Fraser is back for the upcoming fourth installment in The Mummy franchise from directors Radio Silence, and Michael Johnston (Obsession) is now in talks to join him.
The Hollywood Reporter lets us know tonight that Michael Johnston is in “early talks” to join The Mummy 4, which will release in theaters on October 15, 2027 via Universal.
Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, and John Hannah will reprise their iconic roles as Rick O’Connell, Evelyn O’Connell, and Jonathan Carnahan in the upcoming movie.
Radio Silence duo Matt Bettinelli-Olpin & Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream 5-6) are directing from a script by David Coggeshall (Orphan: First Kill).
Plot details are being kept under wraps at this time, but the brand new sequel is expected to disregard the events of the third movie, in which Rachel Weisz did not appear.
“It’s just really beautiful and scary and sweeping, and it’s awesome,” Gillet teases. Bettinelli-Olpin adds that the film “has all of the heart and the character that you could hope for.”
A remake of the classic Universal monster movie that took an action-adventure approach, The Mummy was released in 1999 and grossed $417 million worldwide. It was followed by The Mummy Returns in 2001 and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in 2008.
