Newcomer Elliott Heffernan, Harris Dickinson, Erin Kellyman, Stephen Graham, singer-songwriter Paul Weller (his film debut) and Kathy Burke have joined the cast of Steve McQueen’s next film Blitz from Apple Original Films. Saoirse Ronan is also on board with McQueen writing, directing and producing the film, which tells the stories of Londoners during the Blitz of World War II. It is scheduled to begin filming later this year.
McQueen’s Lammas Park produces alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner of Working Title Films, and Arnon Milchan, Yariv Milchan and Michael Schaefer from New Regency. Anita Overland and Adam Somner are also producing. This reunites McQueen with New Regency, where he made the Best Picture Oscar winner 12 Years a Slave and 2018’s Widows. Blitz was developed and packaged by New Regency under McQueen’s first-look deal.

Last year, we saw a list of thirteen movies that would be riffed during the new season of the classic series Mystery Science Theater 3000, which is now being released through the show’s own indie streaming platform The Gizmoplex. On that list was a movie called The Christmas Dragon, which was said to be about “a group of orphans going on a journey to restore the lost magic and save Christmas.” What wasn’t mentioned at that time is that original MST3K host Joel Hodgson will be returning to riff The Christmas Dragon with current hosts Jonah Ray and Emily Marsh!
The Christmas Dragon episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 will be reaching the Gizmoplex on December 16th. The livestream premiere begins at 8pm Eastern. Here’s the information:

Keltus (McWilliams), a knight of the ruling Order, is on the trail of the Shadow Cabal -- a group of Orc cultists.

It seems that before Osama Bin Laden was killed he ingeniously injected himself with a serum that would bring him back to life as a flesh-eating zombie. His burial at sea (the Arabian Sea?) is short-lived as Osombie (Walter A. Carmona) awakens and swims to the nearest coastline where he attacks a couple of Americans. Back in Afghanistan yoga instructor Dusty (spunky Eve Mauro) is wandering around the desert in search of her brother Derek (game Jasen Wade). Derek was a firefighter who was sick on 9/11 and is haunted by the fact that his co-workers all perished while attempting to evacuate the twin towers. He’s come to Afghanistan to find Bin Laden, whom he believes is still alive because he read it on the internet.

I’m sure “The Hobbit” will be great and all, but when you compare the hundreds of millions of dollars spent on those films to what the filmmakers behind the independently-produced “The Shadow Cabal” are working with, there’s no denying Arrowstorm Entertainment and Mainstay Productions know how to maximize even the smallest of budgets. From director John Lyde, the film tells the story of an agent of the Order named Keltus (Richard McWilliams) as he attempts to hunt down the mysterious Shadow Cabal. After hitting a dead end, Keltus teams up with an elven bounty hunter (Danielle Chuchran) and orc raider (Paul D. Hunt) in order to get back on the [ Read More ]

Creature Feature Collection
Contains: Snow Beast, Monsterwolf, Swamp Shark | Released by Signature Entertainment
Signature Entertainment re-release three of their Tesco-exclusive creature features in a special three pack which is now available at all good retailers. We’ve previously reviewed two of the three so I thought I’d repost those together here just in case you’re wondering whether this new collection is worth picking up (Hint: If you love cheesy monster movies and crazy killer-shark flicks it most definitely is!). So without further ado, here’s reviews of Snow Beast and Swamp Shark:
Snow Beast (2011)
Stars: John Schneider, Jason London, Danielle Chuchran, Paul D. Hunt, Kari Hawker | Written by Brittany Wiscombe | Directed by Brian Brough
Snow Beast, shot in 2011, and not to be confused with the 1977 TV movieSnowbeast which starred Bo Svenson and Yvette Mimieux, and is set in the same locale (a snowy hillside) and featuring almost exactly the same plot,...

Snow Beast is a sasquatch-ploitation film that was released on DVD October 4th. This b-movie styled film also has a date with destiny January, 2012 when the film will have a television premiere on the SyFy Network. This film stars John Schneider and Jason London in a creature feature flick that involves a bear hugging Yeti and characters wandering about the woods oblivious to this white haired menace. Truly comedic, Snow Beast has to be seen to enjoy all the humour housed within.
Several researchers head up to Canada to complete their study on lynxes. Something strange is afoot however as all of the animals in the area have begun to disappear, including people. Those hiking in the woods or stopping for a piddle are soon consumed by a seven foot animal that looks straight out of Empire Strikes Back (a wampa). Did they borrow the same suit?...
