Harley Quinn Getting Her Own Film: Margot Robbie to Produce
For as much as Suicide Squad was a story about Will Smith’s Deadshot, I don’t think anyone can deny that the biggest draw was Margot Robbie’s portrayal of Dr. Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn. Equal parts unhinged and charming, Robbie embraced the role and became a highlight of the film, which didn’t really do all that well when it came to the critical eye.
Thanks to huge appeal of Harley Quinn, Margot Robbie has locked down a spin off for her character which she will executively produce through her own LuckyChap Entertainment banner, according to THR. The film, of which no details have been released, is going to be given a “first look” treatment through Warner Bros., who I’m sure are going to leap at snagging it.
The DC cinematic universe already has several films locked down over the next few years, including Aquaman, which is being directed by James Wan (The Conjuring 2, Insidious, Dead Silence). It’s uncertain where a Harley Quinn spin-off would land in the mix of all the upcoming titles or if it will even have any connection to the other films. We’ll just have to wait and see!
Suicide Squad hit theaters on August 5th and featured Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adam Beach, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Karen Fukuhara, Jim Parrack, Ike Barinholtz, Common, Scott Eastwood, David Harbour, Corina Calderon, Alex Meraz, Raymond Olubowale, and Ben Affleck as Batman!
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.
