Lionsgate Makes the Best Posters for ‘Boo!’ (Trailer)
One of the worst movies I think I have ever seen is Tyler Perry’s Boo! A Madea Halloween. While I suspected it wasn’t for me going into the theater, Lionsgate’s marketing was so goddamn good I couldn’t resist. Their posters and even trailer edits were phenomenal, leading me to believe there was more to the homages than what was being reported. Even though it was embarrassingly bad, it was quite successful (as most Tyler Perry movies are), resulting in a sequel that will hit theaters on October 20th. While our coverage will be minimal this time around, Lionsgate is once again hitting home runs with their theatrical posters. Check this one, spoofing Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining and boasting a kicker of a tagline: “Peek-a-boo.”
Updated with the official trailer:
Released by Eli Roth’s label The Horror Section last year, Joe Begos (VFW, Christmas Bloody Christmas) horror movie Jimmy and Stiggs is getting an official spinoff movie.
Sebastián De Caro has acquired the Argentine spin-off rights to Jimmy and Stiggs from The Horror Section, and his spinoff movie will follow new characters in Argentina.
The title? Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore. Eli Roth and Joe Begos will Executive Produce the film, which centers on the same alien threat from Jimmy and Stiggs.
Variety reports this afternoon that the film will feature an all-female cast.
Agostina Palazzolo (“Ciclón), Agustina “Papry” Suásquita (Netflix’s “Envious”) and Maia Tarcic (“Letters to My Ex”) will star in Burger Night: Luli, Magda & Lore.
“I am thrilled with the cast — these are women of extraordinary talent, true cinema lovers, brave and wild. They are going to surprise everyone. Each one understands her character perfectly and they all fell in love with the original material,” Sebastián De Caro said.
In Jimmy and Stiggs…
A perfect storm of lousy news sees out-of-work filmmaker Jimmy spiral into a bender, during which he claims to have been abducted by aliens. Fearing their return, he contacts his old friend Stiggs to help him gear up for war. Begos stars alongside Matt Mercer (Contracted), practical alien puppets, and a whole lot of gore captured on 16mm film.
Daniel Kurland wrote in his review, “The world needs more playful, gonzo small-scale-yet-apocalyptic horror films like Jimmy and Stiggs. It’s a movie that has constant tricks on display and perpetually sprays blood in the audience’s face, but there’s an earnest center to it all.”
