With the new Netflix original series from DreamWorks, Voltron: Legendary Defender, set to premiere on June 10th on the streaming site, we’ve got a ton of new images to go along with some awesome clips of this reboot of an 80’s classic. If you’re like me you may have been a bit hesitant to get excited about this new series, but I now think we need not worry. The cast and crew behind the show are fantastic but these new clips are what really have me counting down the days until I can binge watch all 13 episodes. Granted these are only two clips, but they seem to have nailed the feel and vibe of the original show. At the very least it looks like Legendary Defender is going to be jam packed with action. Don’t let me tell you though, judge for yourself.

Also I should point out that I understand a trailer and a few other clips for this show have been out for a while but I hadn’t gotten around to watching them yet. I have now, but the two newer clips below were the first I had seen.

Looks pretty good right? I think it does at least, particularly the animation which looks wonderful. Along with these new clips, DreamWorks and Netflix have also released some new still images and some pretty cool character cards for the series. Be sure to check those out in the gallery below!

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

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.
