‘Monsters’ Stars Whitney Able and Scooter McNairy Talk Briefly About Sequel
At the Saturn Awards in Los Angeles last night I briefly caught up with Whitney Able and Scoot McNairy, the married co-stars of last year’s terrific low-budget effort Monsters, which was helmed by upcoming Godzilla director Gareth Edwards. While Edwards won’t be returning to the director’s chair for the follow-up (and while Able and McNairy won’t be starring – MINOR SPOILER ALERT – for reasons obvious to anyone who paid close attention to the first few minutes of the movie), McNairy did offer up a few little tidbits on the project’s development.
“We are not involved in it [as actors],” he said. “[But] I’m producing the film [with Gareth]…We’ve just been kind of…hashing out the treatment for the new one. It’s gonna be the same style, [but a] new storyline, new characters. And it’s in development right now at Vertigo Films.”
As for plot specifics…
“We can’t say anything about it…[but it takes place] the same world. I think it takes place about seven years after our storyline.”
Oh, and I’m not sure if this has been said before, but one of the titles they came up with for the first film initially was “Far From Home”…which, for the record, I’m kind of glad they ditched.

‘Mind Body Spirit’ Exclusive Trailer – Get Twisted with Found Footage Yoga Horror Movie in May
A yoga influencer discovers just how flexible fear can be in Mind Body Spirit, a new found footage horror movie that Welcome Villain Films is bringing to the table in a couple weeks.
Mind Body Spirit will release on Digital outlets May 7.
Get twisted with the official trailer and poster art below.
Matt Donato raved in his 4-star review, “Mind Body Spirit is a knockout horror session for the livestream era, which has me desperately waiting to see what its creators and stars do next.”
In Mind Body Spirit, “Anya, an aspiring yoga influencer, embarks on a ritual practice left behind by her estranged grandmother. She documents the practice on her YouTube channel for the world to watch, allowing her audience intimate access to her journey.
“But what starts as a spiritual self-help guide evolves into something much more sinister. As Anya becomes obsessed with the mysterious power of the practice, she unwittingly unleashes an otherworldly entity that begins to take control of her life – and her videos. Now Anya must race to unlock the truth, before her descent into madness threatens to consume her mind, body and spirit. By the time she reveals the true nature of the ritual, will it be too late?”
Mind Body Spirit was written and directed by Alex Henes & Matthew Merenda.
The upcoming horror film stars Sarah J. Bartholomew, Madi Bready, KJ Flahive, Anna Knigge, and Kristi Noory, and was produced by Dan Asma and Jesse McClung.
