J-Horror Returns in Suicidal ‘The Forest’ Trailer!
If you dare enter the Aokigahara “Suicide” Forest, remember one thing above all else: STAY ON THE PATH.
Even though the J-horror craze was short-lived, I loved it. From The Ring to The Grudge, there was something special about the fish-out-of-water aspect to the horror genre.
Now, years after J-horror died a horrible death, it’s being resurrected in Jason Zada’s The Forest, which stars Natalie Dormer of “Game of Thrones” and The Hunger Games.
In it, “A supernatural thriller set in the legendary Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. A young American woman, Sara (Dormer), goes in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. Despite everyone’s warnings to “stay on the path,” Sara enters the forest determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate – only to be confronted by the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who wanders into the forest.“
The first trailer has just arrived and it’s jam-packed with frights. I love the look of the film, as well as some of the creepy scares that are set up. My only worry is that they’re giving too much away, especially what looks like a shot from the film’s finale (I could be wrong). No matter, it’s exciting to see Dormer in the lead role and I’m curious to see if this can deliver on the same level of films like Ring and Grudge.
In theaters January 8th, 2016 via Gramercy Pictures, The Forest is based on an idea by David S. Goyer.
Natalie Dormer, Taylor Kinney, Eoin Macken and Yukiyoshi Ozawa all star.
Sony returns to their own Marvel universe with the upcoming Kraven the Hunter, which has been bumped all over the release schedule. This week, it’s been bumped once more.
There was a time when Sony was going to unleash Kraven in theaters in October 2023, but the film was then bumped to August 2024. It’ll now release on December 13, 2024.
Kraven the Hunter will be the very first Marvel movie from Sony to be released into theaters with an “R” rating, with lots of bloody violence being promised.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the title character, Marvel’s ultimate predator.
“Kraven the Hunter is the visceral story about how and why one of Marvel’s most iconic villains came to be. Set before his notorious vendetta with Spider-Man, Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as the titular character in the R-rated film.”
Ariana DeBose will play Calypso in the upcoming Kraven the Hunter movie.
Christopher Abbott (Possessor) is playing The Foreigner, with Levi Miller (Better Watch Out) also on board. Alessandro Nivola (The Many Saints of Newark) will play another villain, but character details are under wraps. Russell Crowe and Fred Hechinger also star.
J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Year) is directing Kraven the Hunter.
The screenplay was written by Art Marcum & Matt Holloway and Richard Wenk.
