TV: New ‘Teen Wolf’ Trailer Just As Embarassing

Published

on

I truly, honestly don’t understand “remaking” something if you’re going to completely butcher it tonally. For example, it’s OK if you take George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead and then let Zack Snyder put his own spin on it, but why would you do something drastically different if you’re attempting to appeal to the fans of the original?

MTV is gearing up for their premiere of “Teen Wolf” on June 5, their dead-serious, Twilight-esque, ridiculously trite version of the ’80s coming-of-age comedy starring Michael J. Fox as a lovable teen who becomes wolf after puberty.

While we’ve already chastised the leaked trailer late last year, this evening brings the “official promo” rocking all sorts of embarrassing footage. I guess Lacrosse is cooler than basketball? Hellz no!

New ‘Arcadian’ Images and Poster Introduces Tense, Bloody Thrills in Nicolas Cage Creature Feature

Arcadian images Nicolas cage

Up next for Nicolas Cage is a creature feature from RLJE Films that’s titled Arcadian. RLJE debuted a bunch of new images along with a poster this morning that introduces more of the cast while teasing some of the bloody thrills ahead.

Look for Arcadian in theaters on April 12, 2024. After the film’s theatrical release, it’s coming to Shudder and AMC+ later this year.

Arcadian has been rated “R” by the MPA for “Bloody images.” Check out some of those bloody images below.

In Arcadian, which looks to take a page out of the Quiet Place playbook, “After a catastrophic event depopulates the world, a father and his two sons must survive their dystopian environment while being threatened by mysterious creatures that emerge at night.”

Jaeden Martell (IT 2017), Maxwell Jenkins (Lost in Space) and Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) also star in the upcoming Arcadian alongside cinema icon Nicolas Cage.

Ben Brewer (The Trust) directed the film, written by Mike Nilon (Braven).

I reviewed Arcadian for Bloody Disgusting out of SXSW. I wrote, “Playing like a cross between a poignant coming-of-age story and intense survival horror, Arcadian does just enough to set itself apart from similar fare. However, its ultimate appeal and magic lie in the inventive monster designs and the thrilling action set pieces they inspire.”
