‘The Predator’ Secures a Fantastic FX Company
Amalgamated Dynamics Inc. has been locked down to provide the special creature FX for Shane Black’s The Predator, according to AVPgalaxy.net. The site found that both Tom Woodruff Jr. and Alec Gillis of ADI have confirmed their attachment to the project.
ADI already has a history with the Predator series, having worked on both Alien vs. Predator films. They were also part of Alien 3, three of the Tremors films, Godzilla (2014), and many more FX heavy films.
The last we heard about The Predator was that James Franco was in talks to play the lead role of “Quinn McKenna” and that the film is shooting this fall in Vancouver to meet its February 9th, 2018 deadline.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
