News Bites: ‘Cloverfield’ Toy Returns, Elfman Scores ‘Frankenweenie,’ ‘REC 3’ Website and More!
My browser is literally jam-packed with stories that I need to bring you at some time this morning, a few of which can be lumped into this fresh “News Bites” feature.
First, Entertainment Earth has uncovered a slew of Hasbro Cloverfield 14-Inch Electronic Monster Action Figures that came and went back right before our eyes back in 2008! It features an electronic roar, swappable heads, tiny parasites, and the head of the Statue of Liberty. A city backdrop display is built into the box. Hopefully you’ve got $150 bones saved up.
In a not-so-shocking announcement, it was revealed that Danny Elfman will once again team with Tim Burton to score his stop-motion animated Frankenweenie. Winona Ryder, Martin Short, Catherine O’Hara, Martin Landau, Charlie Tahan, Atticus Shaffer all star in the Disney 3-D feature arriving in theaters October 5, 2012.
Filmax has launched the official website for the ow filming REC 3: Genesis, while director Paco Plaza also posted a new behind-the-scenes video on his blog. The action now takes place miles away from the original location and partly in broad daylight giving the film an entirely fresh yet disturbing new reality.
Still haven’t seen The Human Centipede? What gives? Now you have no excuse as The Dish Network is offering a FREE stream of the Tom Six’s shocker that sets up the forthcoming sequel from Magnet Releasing. In the film a crazy doctor surgically connects three humans into a living, breathing “Human Centipede”.
One of this summer’s most hotly anticipated new movies is A24 and Ti West’s MaXXXine, a follow-up to X and Pearl that brings Mia Goth’s title character into the 1980s.
With her past catching up to her, Maxine attempts to make it big as a superstar in Hollywood, 1985. While you wait, check out a new image below courtesy of USA Today this week.
Releasing in theaters on July 5, 2024, MaXXXine is rated “R” for…
“Strong violence, gore, sexual content, graphic nudity, language and drug use.”
If you missed the official trailer, you can watch it right here.
Mia Goth stars alongside Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon in MaXXXine.
Here’s the official plot synopsis from A24 this week: “In 1980s Hollywood, adult film star and aspiring actress Maxine Minx finally gets her big break. But as a mysterious killer stalks the starlets of Hollywood, a trail of blood threatens to reveal her sinister past.”
Last we saw Maxine in Ti West’s X (2022), she was the sole survivor of a massacre carried out by elderly couple Howard and Pearl in the Summer of ’79. Goth of course pulled double duty as the villain Pearl in that movie, who got her own origin story in Pearl (2022). Pearl and Maxine are different characters, but they share the common goal of wanting to be stars.
Will Maxine finally make it in Hollywood? Or will the demons of her past become her ultimate downfall? With the Night Stalker roaming free, we expect MaXXXine to get wild this summer.
