Life Finds A Way Without Dr. Ian Malcolm…
One of my favorite characters in Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park franchise is Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, who acts as the voice of reason in a world now inhabited with dinosaurs.
Out promoting The Grand Budapest Hotel, Goldblum tells the Huffington Post that there’s been no talk of him returning in Jurassic World, which is being helmed by Colin Trevorrow for release in 2015.
“Yeah…they haven’t called me for ‘4,’ I know Steven Spielberg isn’t directing it,” Goldblum explains, “I was perfectly satisfied with the two that I did. I’m still satisfied with that and I’ll be the first in line to see anything else, so, you know.”
Some good news came out of the interview, though, as Goldblum reveals that he is in talks to reprise his role of David Levinson for the Independence Day sequel.
“Yeah, they’ve talked to me about it and I’ve talked to them about it and they’re excited and I’m anxious and eager to see — I haven’t read anything — what they cook up. You know, I think they’re trying to put it together.”
Roland Emmerich returns to direct, but Will Smith is official out and won’t be returning to battle to save Earth…
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.”
