First Look at ‘Skylin3s’, Acquired by Vertical Entertainment [Exclusive]
Bloody has just learned ahead of the American Film Market that Vertical Entertainment has acquired Skylin3s, the third installment of the Skyline franchise, for North America, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Series co-creator Liam O’Donnell (also the lead director on our Portals, out now) ended up returning to write and direct after helming 2017’s surprise hit sequel Beyond Skyline which Vertical also released.
Lindsey Morgan (“The 100”) is back as Rose Corley from Beyond Skyline to star along with Jonathan Howard (Godzilla: King of Monsters), Alexander Siddig (“Game of Thrones”), Rhona Mitra (Underworld:Rise of the Lycans), Daniel Bernhardt (John Wick) and James Cosmo (“Chernobyl”).
“When a virus threatens to wipe out Earth, a super-powered hybrid (Morgan) must lead a team of elite soldiers on a mission to the aliens’ world in order to save what’s left of humanity.”
Bloody also has the above exclusive first look at Morgan facing off with one of the aliens, as well as the Riddick-inspired poster art.
Producer Matthew Chausse returns alongside Colin and Greg Strause and O’Donnell to take the film franchise into its next chapter. Skylin3s is produced by Matthew Chausse, Liam O’Donnell, Colin Strause, and Greg Strause. The film is produced by Ingenious Media, LipSync Productions, Mirabelle Pictures Productions, Artbox, and Fasten Films.
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
