Perhaps the most terrifying human relationship is the one between a serial killer and his target. But what if it starts that way, and becomes something…more?

From the mind of director Jennifer Lynch (Boxing Helena, Surveillance, Hisss) comes the dark fable Chained, coming to Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD October 2nd from Anchor Bay Films. While we’ve already shared the forthcoming specs, we just now landed the official green band trailer, courtesy of Anchor Bay Films.

We’ve added a fresh clip that shows serial killer Bob (Vincent D’Onofrio) explaining the frightening rules of his house to young Tim (Evan Bird) –and makes it clear that he is his prisoner for life.

With a cast including Vincent D’Onofrio (Full Metal Jacket, Men In Black, “Law and Order: Criminal Intent”), Gina Phillips (Jeepers Creepers, “Ally McBeal”) Conor Leslie (“90210”), Evan Bird (“The Killing”), with Jake Weber (Dawn of the Dead, “Medium”) and Julia Ormand (My Week With Marilyn, “Mad Men,” The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Chained is said to be an unforgettable ride into the darkness that can reside in the human heart – no matter what your age.

The Chained Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD also includes, as a bonus feature, the scene that prompted the MPAA give the film an NC-17 rating!

“Many have met the Dark Passenger… Few have survived. Once you’ve seen him, there’s no escape.”

That’s the tease included with Showtime’s 2-minute long trailer for “Dexter” Season 7, which premieres September 30. This season sets up the looming series finale.

Here’s the recently revealed synopsis for Episode 7.01: “Are You….?” “After witnessing her brother kill Travis Marshall, Debra (Jennifer Carpenter) attempts to reconcile with Dexter (Michael C. Hall) while struggling to cover up their involvement with the murder. Meanwhile, Detective Mike Anderson has an unfortunate run-in, Quinn and Batista begin to make amends, and LaGuerta finds evidence that causes her to re-think the closed Bay Harbor Butcher case.” READ MORE

Some minor spoilers follow

When we last saw Dexter, he had an optimistic outlook on life even after the loss of his wife and partner-in-crime, and was seemingly content with raising his son and developing some sort of normalcy in his life. Well, normalcy aside from the fact that he moonlights as an avenging angel who takes down killers that have slipped through the cracks of the system. READ MORE

The other day we received an eyeful, then a mouthful, now Showtime has unveiled the official poster for “Dexter” Season 7. He saw. She saw. It’s all on the table…

Premiering Sunday, September 30, Calista Flockhart is guest starring in the opening episode that will feature a flashback to Deb and Dexter’s childhood.

Jason Gedrick will appear in a multi-episode arc playing the manager of a Miami-area gentlemen’s club that becomes linked to a high-profile murder case. Yvonne Strahovski, who is known for being on the NBC TV series “Chuck,” will be playing the role of Hannah McKay, a strong independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her. Miami Metro Homicide will ask for her help in solving some old cases.

The arc’s main focus is on Dexter (Michael C. Hall) and his potential romantic inclinations towards his sister Debra (Jennifer Carpenter). READ MORE

Eh. We’ve kind of seen this before. Especially if you’ve seen the end of Season 6. I feel like “Dexter” is pulling out all the stops to tantalize us about the moments that transpire after Deb catches Dex in the act, except we’ve already seen that haven’t we? Hopefully something amazing happens past those two minutes they’ve already shown us.

As previously reported, Yvonne Strahovski will play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her. As Miami Metro reopens old cases, the department turns to her for assistance as Michael C. Hall’s Dexter Morgan begins to wonder if there’s more to Hannah than what she reveals. Katia Winter will play a Russian stripper who works at a Miami club and joins Season 7 newbies Jason Gedrick — who will play the manger of the same Miami strip club — and Ray Stevenson, who has been cast as the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate.

On “Dexter” he’ll portray Ethan Price, a charming investigative writer of true crime books about famous murder cases.

Now that I’m all caught up on “Dexter” I’ll be covering the upcoming seventh season. That means I’ll be sharing your pain (though hopefully the show rebounds). We know that the show will face head-on the implications of Deborah finding out that Dexter is the Bay Harbor Butcher (as well as the implications of being in love with him). It’s this central conflict that this teaser – “Dark Passenger” – plays up.

As previously reported, Yvonne Strahovski will play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her. As Miami Metro reopens old cases, the department turns to her for assistance as Hall’s Dexter Morgan begins to wonder if there’s more to Hannah than what she reveals.

The seventh season of “Dexter” premieres on September 30th at 8/9 CST. That means it’s actually a little early to start seeing footage of any kind – but Showtime has heard your cries and has decided to assuage them! There’s a lot of new footage clips in the promo below – it’s just too bad they don’t last very long! Get ready to screengrab, I guess.

The upcoming season will trace the fallout from Deb (Jennifer Carpenter) finding out that Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is actually the Bay Harbor Butcher (and icky love interest). Yvonne Strahovski, Katia Winter, Jason Gedrick and Ray Stevenson are all joining the cast for arcs this year.

Side note, the opening titles breakfast cooking sequence from “Dexter” always makes me hungry. Why can’t I make myself a breakfast like that? Weigh in when making your comment. Now onto the news, apparently Calista Flockhart (“Ally McBeal”, The Birdcage) will be in the first episode of the Seventh Season entitled, “Are You…?”. Nicholas Vigneau will make an appearance as young Dexter with Savannah Paige Rae (“Parenthood”) as young Debra.

We also have an image below the jump from the set of third episode of the season, “Buck the System”, that Jennifer Carpenter tweeted out with the description “Two dummies waiting to shoot….” Last but not least is the first poster from the upcoming season, which Dexter Daily got their hands on.

Kicking off the first of the probable final two seasons, Yvonne Strahovski will play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her on the Michael C. Hall-Jennifer Carpenter serial killer drama. As Miami Metro reopens old cases, the department turns to her for assistance as Hall’s Dexter Morgan begins to wonder if there’s more to Hannah than what she reveals.

As previously reported, Katia Winter will play a Russian stripper who works at a Miami club and joins Season 7 newbies Jason Gedrick — who will play the manger of the same Miami strip club — and Ray Stevenson, who has been cast as the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate.

“Dexter” returns Sunday, September 30 at 9 p.m. on Showtime and their most recent TV Spot is a vast improvement over the last one. It at least shows some footage, even if it’s not footage from the show itself. Instead, we get Deb and Dex staring longingly at each other as blood careens off the edge of a blade and drips on the floor. The spot, entitled “Truth Brings Light”, hints that this season will explore head-on the conflicts that arise after Deb admits her more-than-platonic love for Dexter – and discovers that he is indeed a killer (if not discovering that he’s the Bay Harbor Butcher outright).

“Chuck” and The Canyon star Yvonne Strahovski (pictured) has found her next gig and it’s a killer.

According to THR, the actress has been tapped for a multiepisode arc on Showtime’s “Dexter,” the network announced Tuesday.

She’ll play Hannah McKay, a strong, independent woman with a past that she’s struggled to put behind her on the Michael C. Hall-Jennifer Carpenter serial killer drama. As Miami Metro reopens old cases, the department turns to her for assistance as Hall’s Dexter Morgan begins to wonder if there’s more to Hannah than what she reveals.

Katia Winter will play a Russian stripper who works at a Miami club and joins Season 7 newbies Jason Gedrick — who will play the manger of the same Miami strip club — and Ray Stevenson, who has been cast as the leader of a Russian organized crime syndicate.

Previous A-list guest stars with season-long arcs have included Jimmy Smits, John Lithgow (who took home the Emmy for his turn) and Julia Stiles.

Showtime renewed “Dexter” for two additional seasons, which will likely bring the serial-killer drama to its end.

“Dexter” returns Sunday, Sept. 30 at 9 p.m. on Showtime.

[OMFG] Behind the Scenes Hisss Drama All Caught In Despite the Gods Doc

I absolutely hated Jennifer Lynch’s Hisss, which quietly snuck into Red Box’s across the Nation last October. It’s hard to pinpoint what went wrong, but there were some warning signs last January when it was reported that the flick, starring Mallika Sherawat as snake woman who can take on various forms, was taken away from Lynch in the editing stage.

The film sucks, and we know this, but that’s beyond the point. Apparently a film crew caught all of the behind-the-scenes drama on camera!

Penny Vozniak directs Despite the Gods, a documentary on Hiss set to premiere at the Canadian film festival Hot Docs this coming April.

The below trailer is 110% better than Hisss…

“ ‘Despite the Gods’ brings us behind the scenes on the set of Lynch’s Bollywood/Hollywood action film about a man-eating snake goddess. Out of her depth shooting on location with an Indian crew and two top Bollywood stars, Lynch turns her production into a vehicle for her own self-actualization, paying no regard to timeline, budget or reality. As the story in front of the camera derails, the story behind the camera explodes.”

We’ll let you know when it’s acquired for U.S. distro. READ MORE

She’s convinced the serial killer who kidnapped her two years before has come back to finish the job. But the police do not believe Jill, who knows time is running out.

TV: Dexter Producer Talks Season 7, Icky Adopted Sibling Romance!

Spoiler Warning.

Season six of “Dexter” ended with a shocker. Depending on your point of view, the shocker was either Debra walking in on “Dexter” mid murder, or Debra pursuing romance with her adopted brother at the advice of a professional therapist. (I was more shocked by the latter.)

Current showrunner Manny Coto met with the Television Critics Association in a cocktail reception, and he went there on both topics. First for new news. Season seven will obviously address whether Debra reports “Dexter” or keeps his secret (more likely the latter. If they can do 13 episodes on Debra arresting/chasing “Dexter”, bravo.) READ MORE

The Only Thing Interesting About Gone Is Amanda Seyfried

Hoping to clear my memory of this hideous poster, I’m staring intensely at Amanda Seyfried in the first two official images from Summit Entertainment’s Gone, their thriller in theaters February 24. They’re still pretty boring. Seyfried is the sole reason I still want to see this (who says star power is dead?) From the so-so trailer to these hum-ho stills, I think it’s safe to assume that we should be mildly “alarmed”.

The poster has premiered for Summit Entertainment’s Gone, the Heitor Dhalia-directed thriller starring Amanda Seyfried, Emily Wickersham, Wes Bentley, Jennifer Carpenter, Erin Carufel, Sebastian Stan, and Socratis Otto.

In theaters February 24, the one-sheet depicts a collage of Seyfried’s face, a mysterious woman and an even more mysterious intruder. At quick glance all I see are Seyfried’s “f*ck me eyes”. Hey, sex sells. I know a few people who’d hang this post on their ceiling. (Didn’t mean to go there. But yes, yes I did.)

TV: [Next On] Video Preview of Dexter 06.12, Last Nights Reaction

This is the way the world ends…

Spoiler warning: Last night’s episode of “Dexter” ended on a perplexing cliffhanger leaving the audience wondering who’s the protagonist in the ongoing battle of good vs. evil. While it’s clear that Travis Marshall (Colin Hanks) is out of his mind, he does believe he’s raging war on mankind for God, all the while Dexter (Michael C. Hall) is clearly the “Devil” in the war (although he’s our anti-hero). While we ponder the two evildoers and their relationship, the most interesting aspect of episode 06.11 was the psychiatrist suggesting to Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) that she’s secretly in love with her (non-biological) brother. Where will Showtime take this edgy subplot in the season finale next Sunday? And more importantly, what’s going on with Louis Greene, the new crime lab intern (Josh Cooke) who’s dating Batista’s sister (Aimee Garcia)?

The show was recently renewed for another two seasons, with a hint they may be the last. Is this Louis Greene character the lead up to the end? I believe so.

TV: Dexter Building Towards Series Finale, Maybe?

When it was announced that Showtime had renewed “Dexter” for two more seasons I immediately suggested it was time to define a definitive series finale. You just can’t continue to string viewers along, expect Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) to continue to be blind to Dexter’s (Michael C. Hall) misadventures, and water down what ultimately should be an epic conclusion.

Showtime Entertainment President David Nevins talked with EW about the season finale and the potential build for the forthcoming two seasons:

“Coming back for two more years gives us clarity about how and when it will go out,” Nevins said at Showtime’s annual holiday party in Los Angeles on Thursday night. “There [are] things that are going to happen [this season] that will set up a very clear endgame that will take two seasons to tell. You have got to be there for the last two [Season Six] episodes.”

Asked if Dexter will therefore absolutely conclude in the eighth season, Nevins added, “I’m never going to say ‘never,’ but everybody is operating under that assumption. Things could take a turn creatively where they come to us and say they need more time.”

This is both nerve-racking and exciting. It’s nice to know they are actually building towards something, but it concerns me that they’re still thinking about leaving the door open for more. By an eighth season you’re doing your fans a disservice by pushing too hard; look at what happened with “X-Files”. READ MORE

TV: Dexter Renewed for Two More Seasons; Time To Set Up Series Finale?

Variety broke the news seconds ago that Showtime has renewed “Dexter” for another two seasons. They were able to add additional seasons because star and exec producer Michael C. Hall has inked a new deal to remain with the show. His previous contract expires at the end of the current season. The upcoming seventh and eighth seasons will consist of 12 episodes each.

Last year’s season five took a nosedive, while the ongoing sixth is actually pretty entertaining (even though absolutely nothing happened in this past Sunday’s episode). The biggest complaint I’ve heard is that Deborah (Jennifer Carpenter) should have caught Dexter (played by Hall) in last season’s finale. I couldn’t agree more. But for the sake of argument, I believe that Showtime needs to set a finite END to the series. The writers need to know when that is so they can begin developing for the series finale. I would prefer a solid two seasons of set up jam-packed with payoffs than an extra few years of the cabler dragging their feet. END STRONG.
