He may not be making the Aliens sequel he wanted to make, but Neill Blomkamp (District 9, Chappie) sure is keeping busy with brand new venture Oats Studios. As we learned last week courtesy of the first teaser, Oats Studios will allow Blomkamp to play around with experimental shorts that could someday be expanded into features, and the first volume of shorts is soon headed to YouTube and Steam.

Blomkamp says that Oats Studios “Volume 1” will stream free of charge, with follow-up volumes potentially being made available at a cost. He tweeted tonight, “The goal is to see IF the audience likes them and IF they would be willing to pay for Volume 2. They are too short to charge now.”

Today’s brand new official trailer is home to all sorts of crazy sci-fi imagery (plus Sigourney Weaver!), and it’s sure to whet your appetite for what’s coming.

Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.

The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.

You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.

There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…

The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
