‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2’ Has Its Bebop!

Published

on

Gary Anthony Williams has signed on to portray ‘Bebop,’ the famed mutated pig from the animated series, in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2, which is the sequel to last year’s film.

He’ll start off as a punk street thug member of a ragtag gang of misfits who acts as if he’s intellectually superior, but isn’t.

Williams joins Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Stephen Amell, Tyler Perry, and Brian Tee for the film.

It will be directed by David Green and produced by Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form.

Paramount allegedly showed renderings of the mutant villains, both created by both Krang and Shredder in the first season of the animated series. Early concept art leaked back in October that revealed the looks of both Bebop and Rocksteady, while also confirming plans to bring Krang to the big screen. Could the alien mastermind behind the Technodrome finally appear in a live-action Turtles movie, too?! We’ve been dying to see Eastman and Laird’s T.C.R.I. (the alien ooze that created the Turtles) arc from the original comics realized on the big screen. Suprisingly, Shredder died in the first issue setting up the alien invasion.

Anyways, here’s a brief recap of Bebop and Rocksteady’s history:

Bebop and Rocksteady were relatively late additions to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mythos. They did not appear in the original Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird comic book series, but were created for the uber-popular 1990s animated series so that Playmates would have more mutants to make action figures out of.

Bebop and Rocksteady were recently reintroduced in IDW Publishing’s ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turltes comic book series, which rebooted the series to include elements of continuity from each of the Turtles’ many incarnations. They recently made headlines for killing Donatello (by cracking his shell wide open), in an effort to prove their worth to Shredder.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 will come out June 3rd, 2016.

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

Published

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.
