Red Band ‘Life’ Trailer Pulls Out More ‘Alien’ Tricks
Columbia Pictures has a new red band trailer for Life, which already looks like an homage to Alien.
In this spoiler heavy red band trailer, we see that this extraterrestrial life form gets ingested and infects its hosts, including Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds and Rebecca Ferguson. What’s unique, though, is it looks like it grows as quickly as Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors, looking like a giant plant-like creature that ends up assaulting the entire vessel from the outside!
Life tells the story of the six-member crew of the International Space Station that is on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As the crew begins to conduct research, their methods end up having unintended consequences and the life form proves more intelligent than anyone ever expected. Hiroyuki Sanada, Ariyon Bakare, and Olga Dihovichnaya also star.
Life is discovered on March 24, 2017.

Todd McFarlane Reveals He’s Sitting on Unreleased Animated ‘Spawn’ Movie Starring Keith David
While updates on the Spawn movie from Blumhouse have stalled, Todd McFarlane surprised at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend with the reveal that he’s been sitting on an animated film.
Moreover, the comic creator revealed to Comic Book that his unreleased animated Spawn film is mostly completed, and stars Keith David and Mark Hamill.
McFarlane explained to the outlet that he’s uninterested in expanding upon the 1997 live-action film in series form. That’s when he revealed his animated feature: “I don’t know if I’ve ever said, we developed, we were in the process of developing the return of this Spawn animation a while back. And then we, I got in a fight at the very end with the production and the lawyer, so I just bought it all back.”
The film is mostly ready to go, too.
“So I actually have a 90-minute animated show that’s all been drawn, minus the cells. All the voices have been done. Everything, like, we’re ready. All we need is a little bit of Foley, which is sound effects and stuff, and then hand it to a studio to actually draw, right? We’re like, it’s just been sitting in a box waiting to go. I have just been sitting on that going, no, I think I need to get like the movie out, and then boom, once the movie comes out, if there’s any success, then come out with that, but it’s sitting there. So anybody that wants to do animation, the first thing I’m going to do is say, hey, I’ve got this ready to tee up,” McFarlane said.
McFarlane also confirms that Keith David voices Spawn, while Hamill takes on a detective named Twitch.
It’s been a long, hard road out of development hell with his brand new Spawn feature, which Todd McFarlane had originally planned to direct. Jamie Foxx had been attached to play the title character at one point, but we have no idea if that’s still the plan as it’s been a couple of years since the last update.
Perhaps this mostly completed animated Spawn feature will see release first?
