Brian Austin Green Dissects the Entertainment Industry in ‘Hollywood Hells’ Trailer
The seductive glamor and hidden cruelty of the entertainment industry is dissected in Hollywood Hells featuring Brian Austin Green (“Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”).
Blending psychological tension, satire, and bloodshed, the trailer below offers a haunting look at the price of ambition in a world built on illusion, power, and desire.
Fernanda Romero (The Eye) stars as Vega, a struggling actress and single mother in Los Angeles, fighting to keep her dream alive while raising her young son and enduring the constant judgment of her mother.
When she unexpectedly receives an invitation to an ultra-exclusive Hollywood party, she sees it as a rare and possibly life-changing opportunity to get close to the people who could finally open the right doors for her career.
But what begins as a night filled with promise soon turns into something far more disturbing. As Vega is drawn deeper into the dazzling yet deeply sinister world of Hollywood’s elite, she starts to understand that success in this city may demand far more than talent, persistence, or sacrifice.
Behind the beauty, status, and temptation lies something far darker, and by the end of the night, Vega must confront the terrifying reality that in Hollywood, chasing a dream can become a fight for survival.
Bertila Damas (“Brooklyn Nine-Nine”), Naturela, Bruna Rubio, Jiaoying Summers, and Benjamin Fisher round out the cast.
Ben Peyser (Ghost Team One) writes and directs. Goldheart Productions produces.
Black Mandala is handling international sales on the project. We’ll keep you posted on a US release.
Sunrise Films has announced the official North American release of William Bagley‘s horror comedy Hold the Fort, and it’s accompanied by an energetic new trailer.
Hold the Fort debuts on digital platforms on June 23.
In the film, “Lucas and Jenny think their life is finally coming together when the couple become homeowners. Little do they know that their new house comes with a big catch. Lucas and Jenny soon find themselves in a fight for their lives when they become trapped in a battle between their Homeowners Association and an onslaught of monsters from hell. The horror-comedy takes the timely concern of home-ownership and wraps this up in an entertaining action-packed thrill ride.“
Watch the new trailer below, which introduces one wild HOA gathering during an equinox. Things get bloody fast.
Chris Mayers (Adult Swim Yule Log), Haley Leary (“The Walking Dead”), Levi Burdick, and Julian Smith star.
William Bagley writes and directs, in addition to producing with Smith, Matt Dodd, Luke Williams, and Tim Reis (Adult Swim Yule Log).
Ahead of the release, Bagley said, “My goal with this film was to make a hilarious, fast-paced thrill ride while also telling a great story with heart. Hopefully, through all the blood, laughs, fights, and gags, you leave the film feeling inspired to tackle whatever life throws at you.“
Hold the Fort premiered at Fantasia last summer before going on to play FrightFest London, Toronto After Dark, and Beyond Fest.
I wrote in my review, “It’s an infectiously charming assemblage of jokes and monster vignettes bound together by a barebones plot with not much on its mind beyond delivering an entertaining time.”
