Patricio Valladares Impregnated By Alien ‘Embryo’
Patricio Valladares (Nightworld, Hidden In the Woods) has shared the first images from his sci-fi horror pilot “Embryo”, which he describes as a cross between Species (1995) and Breakdown (1997).
“Embryo” is described as a deliriously twisted tale of alien insemination, cannibalism, and love that, “Tells the story of Kevin and his girlfriend Evelyn, who, while camping out in the woods in the Chile countryside is abducted and impregnated by otherworldly beings. As the entity inside her begins to grow at a rapid rate, Evelyn discovers that the cravings she’s experiencing can only be satiated by the taste of human flesh and blood. When she attacks a doctor, Kevin decides not to hand her over to the authorities, but to go on the run and try to get to big city where they can find help to remove the thing that’s slowly taking over Evelyn’s body.”
“Embryo” was co-created and written by Barry Keating (Downhill, Rift) and Patricio Valladares. The pilot series was produced by Francisco Inostroza, Loris Curci (Producer of Nightworld). And is produced by Chilean-based Suspenso and Chilean Government. Corfo.
Season two of “Batman: Caped Crusader“, Prime Video’s animated noir series from DC Studios, Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions, and 6th & Idaho, is officially set to arrive next month.
Prime Video will premiere all ten episodes of season two on Friday, July 31.
“Batman: Caped Crusader” is a hard-boiled look at the vigilante’s early years, reimagined by J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Bruce Timm, Sam Register, and Ed Brubaker.
“Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant, and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human—The Batman.
“His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications.”
The new premiere date comes with a suitably dark first look at some of Gotham’s denizens, including Edward Nygma, Carrie Kelly, and Roxy Rocket, who will be featured in the upcoming season.
Returning voice cast includes Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel, Jason Watkins as Alfred Pennyworth, Eric Morgan Stuart as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Krystal Joy Brown as Barbara Gordon, Michelle C. Bonilla as Renee Montoya, and Bumper Robinson as Lucius Fox.
Executive producers J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm are back for “Batman: Caped Crusader” Season 2. James Tucker, Geoffrey Thorne, Sarah Geismer, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Sam Register also executive produce.
You can catch up on season one now on Prime Video. Our own Daniel Kurland described this noir series as having more in common with EC Horror Comics than DC Comics.
He wrote that the series‘ “immersion into EC Comics ideology and a true indulgence in horror is a superpower that’s more fascinating and dangerous than any WayneTech gadget or Kryptonite-powered super-suit.”
