The Pod and the Pendulum Hosting a Live Reading of George Romero’s ‘Resident Evil’ Script Tonight

Published

Most horror fans are by now aware that George A. Romero *almost* directed a feature film adaptation of the Resident Evil video games in the late ’90s. To make a long story short, Romero’s script was more faithful to the games and would’ve resulted in more of a straight-up horror movie than the frenetic, action-heavy film Paul W.S Anderson ended up making.

Alas, of course, that particular movie never saw the light of day.

Romero’s Resident Evil script has been floating around the internet for many years now, and the folks over at The Pod and the Pendulum Podcast have gotten their hands on it. To help us all pass the time while we’re stuck at home with not much else to do but distract ourselves, they’re hosting a live table reading of Romero’s unused script tonight, April 22nd at 7pm EST.

The podcast is hosted by Jerry Smith and Mike Snoonian, and they’ll be joined by special guests tonight. You’ll find the video below, which will be going live tonight at 7pm EST.

‘Alien Hunt’ – It’s an ‘Alien’ and ‘Predator’ Mockbuster Rolled into One! [Trailer]

While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.

This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.

You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!

In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?

“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.

“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”

Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
