[News Bites] Final Days Of ‘Riddick,’ ‘Dark Shadows’ Character Banner & New ‘Red Lights’ Imagery
Not quite big enough news to deserve its own story, the Lebanese Cinema Movie Guide shared the above Dark Shadows banner that features an amalgamation of colorful characters featured on the previous busstop ads including Johnny Depp, Cloe Moretz, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer and Helena Bonham Carter. Barnabas Collins is unearthed May 11.
Opening in Spain today, head over to Aullidos to dig on a pair of TV spots for the Spanish release of [REC]3 Genesis. Magnet will release on VOD here in the States on August 3 with a limited theatrical slated for September 7.
Vin Disel took to his personal Facebook to share some final words from the Montreal set of Riddick, the R-rated Pitch Black sequel being helmed by David Twohy. “Tomorrow is the last day of principal photography… and you who have willed this rated “R” Riddick into being, will be proud. Universal is so excited about what they have been seeing that they are now making me especially excited to see the finished film… Haha… When is the release date Uni?… Our page wants to know. /smile P.s. Thanks for the positivity you bring… it makes it all worth it.”
Lastly (for now), we’ve received a few new images from Rodrigo Cortes’ foul ball, Red Lights, which we did not like out of the TIFF. Lights turns on a psychologist, played by Sigourney Weaver, and her assistant whose study of paranormal activity leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic (Robert De Niro). Silent House and Martha Marcy May Marlene star Elizabeth Olsen is also featured. It opens in theaters May 3. Full Gallery Here
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
