‘Deathgasm’ Director’s ‘Guns Akimbo’ Adds Natasha Liu Bordizzo
Actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo has been cast opposite Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter to Horns, The Woman in Black, Victor Frankenstein) in the indie, Guns Akimbo, a Jason Lei Howden-directed action comedy, which is currently filming in New Zealand, reports Deadline.
“It follows a lovelorn man Miles (Radcliffe) whose mundane existence is turned upside-down when he finds himself enrolled in a dark social media movement that forces strangers to fight in a city-wide game of death, live-streamed worldwide to a fanatical audience.” A more detailed plot breakdown can be read here.
Bordizzo, who appeared in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny and The Greatest Showman, will play Nova, a video-gaming, comic-book-loving ex-girlfriend of Miles.
Samara Weaving will be co-starring. Weaving, who you may remember from “Ash vs. Evil Dead”, announced herself in both Joe Lynch’s Mayhem and McG’s The Babysitter, stealing the show in both.
Joe Neurauter and Felipe Marino of Occupant Entertainment are producing with Tom Hern of Four Knights.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
