Two More Bikini Up for ‘Shark Night 3D’
Sara Paxton (The Last House on the Left) and Katharine McPhee (The House Bunny) are sinking their teeth into Shark Night 3D, from Sierra Pictures and Incentive Filmed Entertainment. Dustin Milligan (Extract) has also been casting alongside the previous announced Chris Carmack, Alyssa Diaz, Joel David Moore and Sinqua Walls. David R. Ellis (The Final Destination 3D, Final Destination 2, Snakes on a Plane, Asylum) begins lensing the action-thriller in Shreveport, La., later this month. From a script by Jesse Studenberg and Will Hayes, Shark Knight revolves around a group of college friends who spend the weekend at a lake house, only to find all sorts of dangerous sharks lurking beneath the waters.

‘Manhunter: The Final Cut’ Trailer – Michael Mann’s 4K Restoration Arrives in Theaters This Month
Michael Mann‘s adaptation of Thomas Harris’ Red Dragon is receiving a stunning new 4k restoration in celebration of the film’s 40th anniversary this year, and a new trailer gives a look at the gorgeous release.
Manhunter: The Final Cut will open in select US theaters on July 24
The film will also release theatrically in the UK on September 25 and on home entertainment later this year.
In Manhunter, “FBI criminal profiler Will Graham (William L. Petersen) is called out of early retirement to assist on a serial murder case involving a killer known as the “Tooth Fairy” (Tom Noonan). Graham enlists the help of imprisoned serial killer — and cannibal — Dr. Hannibal Lecktor (Brian Cox), who is the reason Graham took an early retirement. Soon, Graham and the FBI are entangled in a deadly cat-and-mouse game between the Tooth Fairy, Lecter, and an interfering journalist (Stephen Lang).“
It marks the first on-screen appearance of the cannibalistic killer that Anthony Hopkins would later popularize in The Silence of the Lambs, though Brian Cox’s iteration has even less screentime.
It’s the talents of the late Tom Noonan as the unsettling Francis Dollarhyde that makes this serial killer thriller so creepy. Three-time Oscar nominee Joan Allen (The Contender, 2000) also stars as his blind love interest.
Mann guided this 4K scan of the original 35mm negative, with a few shots from an interpositive , that was conformed and digitally restored at L’Immagine Ritrovata in Bologna. Both the theatrical version and the UHD HDR & SDR video color gradings were performed by Stefan Sonnenfeld at Company 3 in Los Angeles with the director. Sound restoration was done at Audio Mechanics from an original 35mm magnetic 6-track printmaster to release a new 5.1 mix by Luke Schwartzweller at Fox. Technical coordination and deliveries were managed by L’Immagine Ritrovata. This project was supervised by Becca Mann and the StudioCanal team, Jean-Pierre Boiget, and Delphine Roussel.
This new 4K Final Cut, overseen by Mann, “enhances the film’s depth, visual clarity and sound, offering audiences the ultimate immersive version,” per the press release.
