A new dawn of artificial intelligence, a truck that's literally fueled by zombies, neck-chomping co-workers, and much more. We're back with another trio of trailers, this time featuring Chappie, Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead, and Bloodsucking Bastards.
“Every child comes into the world full of promise, and none more so than Chappie: he is gifted, special, a prodigy. Like any child, Chappie will come under the influence of his surroundings – some good, some bad – and he will rely on his heart and soul to find his way in the world and become his own man. But there’s one thing that makes Chappie different from anyone else: he is a robot. The first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself. His life, his story, will change the way the world looks at robots and humans forever.”
Directed by Neill Blomkamp off a screenplay he wrote with Terri Tatchell, Chappie stars Sharlto Copley, Dev Patel, Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er, Jose Pablo Cantillo, with Sigourney Weaver and Hugh Jackman. Columbia Pictures will release Chappie on March 6th.
"On the eve of a zombie apocalypse, Barry's sister Brooke is kidnapped by a sinister team of gas-mask donning soldiers and experimented on by a deranged doctor. While Brooke plans her escape, Barry attempts to find his sister and teams up with Benny, a fellow survivor. Together, they must arm themselves and prepare to fight their way through hordes of flesh-eating mutants."
From IFC Midnight, Wyrmwood: Road of the Dead comes out in theaters and on VOD on February 13th. Directed by Kiah Roache-Turner off a screenplay he wrote with Tristan Roache-Turner, the film stars Jay Gallagher, Bianca Bradey, Leon Burchill, and Luke McKenzie.
"When an office worker at a soul-crushing company loses his coveted promotion to his longtime nemesis, he begins to fear for more than his job as strange disappearances and bizarre deaths suggest the office is turning into a haven for the undead."
Directed by Brian James O'Connell off a screenplay by Ryan Mitts and Dr. God, Bloodsucking Bastards stars Fran Kranz (Evan), Emma Fitzpatrick (Amanda), Pedro Pascal (Max), Joey Kern (Tim), Yvette Yates (Zabeth), and Joel Murray (Ted). The horror-comedy will make its world premiere at Slamdance on Friday, January 23rd.
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
