Jackie Earl Haley (Watchmen, A Nightmare on Elm Street) is currently in negotiations to appear in the film adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower, which already has locked down Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey as “The Gunslinger” and the “Man in Black”, respectively. Haley will be joining in the role of Richard Patrick Sayre, “…a menacing humanoid who is the vampire leader and kowtows to no one. [Source]”

Gunslinger Roland Deschain (Elba) roams an Old West-like landscape in search of the dark tower, in the hopes that reaching it will preserve his dying world.

Directed by Nikolaj Arcel and produced by Akiva Goldman, Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Erica Hughes, The Dark Tower will be released on February 17th, 2017.

Additionally, and this is just really cool, Haley has also been locked down to play “The Terror” on Amazon’s revival of “The Tick“. The reboot is being written and executive produced by Ben Edlund, the creator of the original comic.

‘Trim Season’ Unrated Trailer – Acclaimed Movie Takes a Nightmarish Trip to a Marijuana Farm

Published

on

A job at a marijuana farm turns nightmarish in director Ariel Vida’s Trim Season, and Blue Harbor Entertainment has released the trailer just in time for 4/20 this weekend.

Trim Season will open in theaters and on demand June 7, 2024.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker and production designer Ariel Vida, Trim Season stars Bethlehem Million (Sick, “And Just Like That…”) as Emma, an adrift, jobless, 20-something seeking purpose. Along with a group of young people from Los Angeles, she drives up the coast to make quick cash trimming marijuana on a secluded farm in Northern California.

“Cut off from the rest of the world, they soon realize that Mona (Jane Badler) – the seemingly amiable owner of the estate – is harboring secrets darker than any of them could imagine. It becomes a race against time for Emma and her friends to escape the dense woods with their lives.”

The cast also includes “Scream” and Hell Fest‘s Bex Taylor-KlausStarry Eyes, “Midnight Mass” and Doctor Sleep‘s Alex EssoeAlly Ioannides (Synchronic), Cory Hart (“Fear the Walking Dead”), Ryan Donowho, Marc Senter and Juliette Kenn De Balinthazy.

Michelle Swope wrote in her review that Trim Season is “a suspenseful, uniquely crafted story highlighting pain and sacrifice that should spark some powerful conversation around women and gender. Mesmerizing performances, an innovative story, beautiful stylistic choices, and a little bit of witchy weed make Trim Season a must-see horror film.”

Aaron B. Koontz of Paper Street Pictures and Sean E. DeMott of Execution Style Entertainment produced. Paul Holbrook of Hlbrk Ent. produces in addition to Badler on behalf of MeJane Productions. Leal Naim executive produces while Cameron Burns co-produces.
