“Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams” to Fuck Our Minds on Television!
Thank you “Black Mirror”, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Amazon is behind a new anthology series, “Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams”, a 10-part sci-fi anthology series that will feature stand-alone episodes each inspired by the acclaimed author’s short stories. It was commissioned by Amazon for the U.S. and Channel 4 for the U.K.
Production is now underway in London on the series being executive produced by Bryan Cranston.
BAFTA winner and Oscar nominee Timothy Spall (“The Enfield Haunting”, Sweeney Todd) has joined the first episode, says THR, explaining that he’s the lead in “The Commuter”, playing an unassuming employee at a train station who is alarmed to discover that a number of daily commuters are taking the train to a town that shouldn’t exist.
Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) wrote the episode based on Dick’s short story, with Tom Harper (War & Peace, Peaky Blinders) on directing duties.
Hayley Squires stars, alongside Rebecca Manley (This is England), Rudi Dharmalingham (Fantastic Beasts), Tuppence Middleton (War & Peace), Anne Reid (Last Tango in Halifax), Ann Akin, Tom Brooke, Nicole Agada, Marko Leht, Matthew Raymond and Naveed Khan are also joining the cast.
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.
