UPDATE: Check out pics of Alba and Seagal on the set of Machete. We’ve got a really solid edition of today’s News Bites as the Toronto International Film Festival has announced two new genre films that we’ve yet to report on (ever). In addition, beyond the break you can read about a potential third X-Files movie (reboot maybe?) and also dig on an international one sheet for Pandorum. Watch for more news as it comes in later today.LET THE CHEESE FLY ON THE MACHETE SET

Click the image below to see Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal and more on the set of Machete.

The feature version of the trailer finds Machete (Trejo) a renegade former Mexican Federale, roaming the streets of Texas after a shakedown from drug lord Torrez (Seagal). Reluctantly, Machete takes an offer from spin doctor Benz (Fahey) to assassinate McLaughlin (De Niro) a corrupt Senator. Double crossed and on the run Machete braves the odds with the help of Luz (Rodriguez), a saucy taco slinger, Padre (Marin) his “holy” brother, and April (Lohan) a socialite with a penchant for guns. All while being tracked by Sartana (Alba), a sexy ICE agent with a special interest in the blade slinger.

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Two new films will be making their debuts at the Toronto International Film Festival, one being Ole Bornedal’s Danish variation on Straw Dogs entitled Deliver Us from Evil, an almost unbearably intense thriller about a young couple who moves to the countryside and encounters xenophobia, psychosis and murder.

In search of a new lifestyle, Johannes and his wife Pernille leave the city and move with their two children to Johannes´ childhood town in the country. When Johannes´ drunken brother Lars accidently runs over Anna, a local, and plants false evidence pointing at the emigrant Alain, Johannes stands up to defend Alain. But it comes with a price. The town soon reveals its ugly face, as revenge, hatred and xenophobia become the order of the day, turning the life of Johannes and his family into a living nightmare.

HELPING OUT OL’ MANSON

Another film having its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival is Leslie, My Name is Evil.

Perry, a sheltered chemist, falls in love with Leslie, a former homecoming princess, when he is selected to be a jury member at her hippie death cult murder trial. Perry has always done what is expected of him. He was a straight-A student who got a good job at a chemical company and proposed to his Christian girlfriend, Dorothy. Leslie took a different path after she was traumatized by Kennedy’s assassination, an abortion and the divorce of her parents. She took LSD, joined a hippie death cult and helped murder a God-fearing citizen in her own home. When Perry and Leslie lock eyes in court, Perry is forced to confront the darkest parts of him and by extension, society. LESLIE, MY NAME IS EVIL is a film that explores how the choices Perry and Leslie make reflect upon the moral choices our society has made.

FOREIGN PANDORUM POSTER

Arriving in theaters September 25 is Christian Alvart’s Pandorum. Below you’ll find a foreign one sheet that looks more like DVD cover art from the 90’s.

In the film a young crew member awakes from his hyper sleep chamber to discover he’s alone on a massive spaceship. He ventures towards the bridge in search of others and to try and figure out what happened.

SCULLY TALKS X-FILES 3

X-Files News stumbled on to a little news bite that was hanging out on foreign website Dnevnik.

“Of course I would accept to play in a new (third) “X-Files” movie”, she said for Dnevnik.hr during the chat with the media and the audience at the last press conference of this 15th edition of the Sarajevo Film Festival.

With this statement, the actress wanted to let people know that she’s not bothered with the fact that most of the people call her “Agent Scully” which she has played over a decade in a tv-show and the two feature movies. The third movie, according to her, is in early stages and should be filmed by 2012!”

While they work to confirm the story, here at Bloody Disgusting we can tell you that there is in fact talk about doing another, even though the last film, I Want to Believe, was rated at 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. But looking at the box office number, it’s no surprise that they’re talking a third film as it took in over $68m worldwide. Something we can add to the story is there is talk of a REBOOT. Are you surprised? Nothing is set in stone, all should be taken as rumor until confirmed.
