Universal Pictures’ dubious attempt to remake Bride of Frankenstein as part of the “Dark Universe” might be dead, but the concept of reimagining the idea of a reanimated “Bride” in the 21st century leads on—with Scarlett Johansson as the lead, no less. The news came late Thursday when A24 and Apple TV+ announced Johansson would star in The Bride, a modern reworking of one of the most potent ideas in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein novel.
The new film, which will be directed by Sebastián Lelo, reimagines the story of the Bride’s creation as less the attempt to build a “Monster’s Mate”—as she is credited in the 1935 Bride of Frankenstein movie—and more a parable about a woman finding a sense of self-realization in the modern world. It’s so modern in fact that her creator will be a wealthy tech CEO who has fastened a lady...

Quentin Tarantino has written dozens of memorable characters throughout his career. What would “Pulp Fiction” be without Vincent Vega? Would “Kill Bill” be nearly as good without The Bride? But for the Oscar-winner there is one character that stands out among the others as the most fun character to write: Christoph Waltz‘s despicable Hans Landa from “Inglourious Basterds.”

While speaking with Empire magazine, Tarantino said Landa was the most fun he’s ever had writing a character.

Quentin Tarantino has written dozens of memorable movie characters, from John Travolta’s Vincent Vega to Uma Thurman’s The Bride, but there’s only one character the Oscar winner says was the most fun to write: Christoph Waltz’s villainous Hans Landa from “Inglourious Basterds.” Waltz won the Best Actor prize at Cannes and the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor thanks to his role, which Tarantino told Empire magazine presented a unique challenge that he’s rarely faced when writing other characters.
“The minute he enters a scene, he dominates it,” Tarantino said of Hans. “All the things that he was supposed to be good at, he was that good at them. I found I had a really interesting situation with him that has been hard to have with any other character. It was the fact he was not only a bad guy, not only a Nazi, but a...

Moviegoers don’t primarily recognize Warner Brothers Animation for their cleave-and-dismember content, but after Mortal Kombat Legends: Scorpion’s Revenge, that may change.
Ethan Spaulding’s reboot of Midway’s fatality-fueled video game series relishes its mature rating right out the gate. Everything is not awesome in Hanzo Hasashi’s (Patrick Seitz) world, as rival assassins ruthlessly murder everyone in the warrior’s village. Hasashi’s warpath retribution tears out spinal columns, cascades oceans of blood, and pulverizes through an array of gasp-worthy finishers that redefine hand-drawn violence. Spaulding’s introduction of Hasashi – aka Scorpion – kickstarts the film’s first few minutes with the infernally dark, combat-rich adaptation of Mortal Kombat that live-action films have yet to summon. Let them fight, indeed.
With an opening reminiscent of The Bride’s Crazy 88 massacre in Kill Bill: Volume 1, Scorpion’s Revenge is certifiably not messing around. Nor does underworld fists-and-freakshow action relent.

Each and every September, haunt season in Southern California officially kicks off with the opening night of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios in Hollywood. Spearheaded by Creative Director John Murdy, this year’s Hhn has an admirable mix of both new and classic properties, including Stranger Things, Halloween 4, Trick ’r Treat, Poltergeist, The First Purge, Universal Monsters, and The Horrors of Blumhouse, which features both Unfriended and Truth or Dare. As a whole, Hhn 2018 might be one of the best overall experiences I’ve had at the annual event.
One of the first attractions we made our way through for the evening was the Halloween 4 maze, as it seemed like the logical place to start, and it was an incredible experience.

Quentin Tarantino has found his Bruce Lee for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” TheWrap has learned. Mike Moh, who has repeatedly paid tribute to Lee online, will play the kung-fu master in Tarantino’s film set in the era of the Manson murders.
Moh was named as a member of the cast last month, but his role was not officially released. Individuals with knowledge of the project told to TheWrap this week that Moh will play Lee. That’s fitting, because Moh has honored Lee in YouTube videos (see below) and a tweet last month on the 45th anniversary of Lee’s death.
“It’s been 45 years since this man passed,” tweeted Moh, who is best known for playing Triton on Marvel’s “The Inhumans.” “#brucelee has inspired me in so many ways… Martial arts, acting, his philosophies on life. But look at the loving way he looked at his children.

Quentin Tarantino has flirted with the idea of continuing the “Kill Bill” franchise, the possibility of which is very exciting for Amandla Stenberg. The 19-year-old actress, currently on the big screen in “The Darkest Minds,” revealed to CinePop that she’s hoping Tarantino makes good on his promise for more “Kill Bill” since her dream role is to play Nikki, the daughter of Vivica A. Fox’s Vernita Green.
“Kill Bill Vol. 1” begins with Vernita’s murder at the hands of Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo, aka. The Bride. Tarantino stages a bloody fight between the two characters that gets disrupted by the arrival of Nikki coming home from school. After The Bride finally kills Vernita, the frame reveals Nikki standing in the doorway watching her mother’s murder.
“The ultimate character I’d love to play is Vivica A. Fox’s daughter in ‘Kill Bill,'” Stenberg replied when asked about her dream role.

Folks may want to see another Kill Bill movie but convincing Uma Thurman to come back as The Bride would be a monumental task in itself. Tarantino is already sold, as he hinted at the possibility back in 2015. The story would have continued with Nikki, Vernita Green’s daughter, seeing vengeance against Beatrix for the death of her mother. Then Beatrix’s daughter would have been brought into the mix and the cycle of revenge would have continued. It’s a very pervasive them in Tarantino’s movies obviously and something that people love seeing because it leaves the door wide open for

Russian films at Cannes this year illustrate bravery, past glories and increasing success in genres that show off the country’s forte in FX and animation work.
As Ilya Stewart of Hype Production sees it, the most successful Russian output these days in terms of critical and fest appreciation is outside the state film funding system, which shepherds most of the country’s films from development to distribution.
Hype’s rocker biopic “Leto” (“Summer”), a warts-and-all look at a seminal Russian music figure from the ’80s who was inspired by Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, has utilized independent financing and co-production resources from outside Russia, says Stewart, noting that the director remains under house arrest — a punishment recently extended so that he will not be able to attend the Cannes premiere of the main competition film.

A trailer was recently released for an insane looking Russian horror film called The Bride. The trailer may be fully in Russian, but that doesn't mean the movie won't still scare the living shit out of you. I was genuinely creeped out by some of the visuals in this trailer.
The Bride was written and directed by Svyatoslav Podgayevskiy, a Russian filmmaker who previously helmed a film called Queen of Spades: The Dark Rite. There's currently no plot summary, so I'm not really sure what is going on. One thing I know for sure is how scary it looks!
There’s currently no Us release date for his new film, but I imagine it will pop up somewhere to watch sometime next year.

It was just last year that we came across the trailer for impressive looking Russian horror film Queen Of Spades: The Dark Rite. Obviously steeped in American horror tropes this one had production values to stand with teh very best in the world and flagged director Svyatoslav Podgayevskiy as someone to keep an eye on. And we didn't have long to wait for more. Podgayevskiy is back now with The Bride (Невеста) and once again he appears to be delivering horror of the highest standard. Whiel English language information is hard to come by the trailer follows multiple timelines with the spirit of a dead, turn of the century bride wreaking havoc in the modern day. No subtitles on the trailer, unfortunately, but the visuals...
