"They're all living for pleasure... it's like a disease." Momentum Pictures has debuted the trailer for an indie horror-thriller titled Mollywood, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Morocco Vaughn originally from Chicago. The film is about a psychotic serial killer who disguises himself as a drug dealer in order to "deliver" young people their worshiped drugs at parties. Vinicius Machado stars as Zach, a determined detective trying to track him and catch him before he kills more. Also starring Anastasia Zorin, Harold Dennis, Micah Fitzgerald, Billy Dec, Waka Flocka Flame, Arianna Lexus, & Kimberly Michelle Vaughn. This looks hyper violent and intensely terrifying, but that could be because there's some intense Edm music in it. This might actually just be so crazy that it might turn out pretty good, but we'll have to see. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Morocco Vaughn's Mollywood, direct from YouTube: "A killer Edm thriller.

We’re still more than a year out from the release of Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and even though the majority of prominent roles have been filled, the superhero flick is quickly becoming one of the biggest ensembles ever assembled. (Take that, Nick Fury!)
But one question that has loomed large over the production, particularly when you consider the end of Man of Steel, is how the film may or may not incorporate Michael Shannon’s General Zod into proceedings. Plot details are, of course, scarce on the ground, but speculation has suggested that Snyder’s historic clash will revolve around Zod’s body in some capacity — or, more specifically his armor.
In comic book lore, the Kryptonian guise is extracted by Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg, in this instance) and is morphed into a rather formidable suit of armor, which lends credence to Shannon being involved in the project,...
