It's been a busy week for Dexter! In anticipation for the upcoming 8th and final season, Showtime has unveiled two new teaser spots, one focusing on Deb, the other Dexter.

David Zayas (who plays Angel) gives us a peek behind-the-scenes and introduces us to his son and stand in.

But first, some casting news: Julian Sands has been brought in to play Miles Foster, a "wealthy international businessman." No further details are being revealed, which I imagine means that he is a major player in the season. Sands has an impressive list of genre credits to his name, including roles in Dario Argento's Phantom of the Opera, Warlock, Arachnophobia, Naked Lunch, Boxing Helena, Tale of the Vampire, and Turn of the Screw.

Dexter returns to Showtime for its eighth and final season on June 30th.

Alex Mathis (Greg Grunberg) is a big ass exterminator; he’s good at his job, but he also wants more than he has. He just can’t figure out quite how to get it. He’s about to find out, however, when fate and ridiculously ineffective soldiers drop a Big Ass Spider on the City of Angels.

Really, it’s all up there in the title; a big ass spider movie by any other name would still just be a big ass spider movie and director Mike Mendez knows that.  He doesn’t even make a pretense of trying to take his subject seriously - going straight for fun without crossing the line to camp.  It’s a difficult dance at best, but Mendez treads it very carefully.

Mostly because he’s got a cast who knows exactly the effect he’s going for and is ready to play along. »

Investigative Film Week | Horror On The Sea | Totally Serialized | Amblin Marathon

Investigative Film Week, London

Investigative journalism is an endangered craft, and there are many who would like it to stay that way, but this event shows why it's needed and what it can do. There are seven diverse documentaries, six of them UK premieres, each followed by a discussion with the film-maker. There are fresh angles on Arab democracy in Bahrain, The Forbidden Country, cyber-surveillance is studied in Tracked, and environmental pollution is to the fore in Bloodcoal and Law Of The Jungle.

Horror On The Sea, Southend-on-Sea

An isolated hotel in an out-of-season, end-of-the-road estuary town feels like just the right setting for a January horror festival, even if the lack of big names and new releases here suggests it's only for the hardcore (and the hard-up: »
