‘John Wick 2’ Nets ‘Resident Evil’ Actress
If you haven’t seen John Wick, I highly recommend just picking up a copy online or at your local movie place. It’s one of those rare action films that doesn’t disappoint on pretty much any level. And with the success of the first film, which took in over $130 million worldwide on a $20 million budget, it’s obvious that a sequel would be something worked out. And now it seems that the cast is filling up nicely for John Wick 2, which just began filming in New York.
Joining star Keanu Reeves will be Ruby Rose, who just wrapped up filming Resident Evil: The Final Chapter along with Riccardo Scamarcio and Peter Stormare. They join familiar faces Ian McShane, Common, John Lequizamo, Bridget Monahan, Tom Sadowski, and Lance Reddick, according to Deadline.
The first film followed Wick, a retired hitman who goes after the crew that killed his puppy. The plot for the sequel is being kept secret.
Chad Stahelski, who directed the original, is back to direct and co-produce the sequel.
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.
