The Poster and Trailer for “Sea Fever” are Here!

Here’s the poster and trailer for Sea Fever.  Yes, this would be a great drive-in movie!

Sea Fever is a tense and original Irish sci-fi thriller reminiscent of cult classics The Thing and The Abyss, starring Hermione Corfield (Star Wars: The Last Jedi) and Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman).
For marine biology student Siobhan (Hermione Corfield), it was supposed to be a research excursion with a trawler crew fishing the West Irish seas. But when they hit an unseen object and become marooned, a mysterious parasite infects their water supply. Soon the oozing force infiltrates the entire vessel and turns Siobhan’s journey into a claustrophobic fight for survival.

Can they stop the mysterious water borne parasite from spreading before it’s too late? Sea Fever also stars Dougray Scott (Hitman) and Jack Hickey (Game of Thrones). Written and directed by BAFTA© winning Irish filmmaker Neasa Hardiman (behind BBC triumph Happy Valley and Netflix hit Jessica Jones).

The Poster for “Peninsula” – “Train to Busan” Sequel is Here!

I cannot wait for this one!  I loved Train to Busan and the sequel, Peninsula, looks to be just as good!

PENINSULA takes place four years after the zombie outbreak in TRAIN TO BUSAN.

The Korean peninsula is devastated and Jung-seok, a former soldier who has managed to escape overseas, is given a mission to go back and unexpectedly meets survivors.

Hoping for a trailer soon!

New “Day of the Dead” Series Based on Romero’s Classic Movie is Coming!

Deadline broke the story that Syfy has given the green light given to a 10-episode series based on George A. Romero’s classic Day of the Dead that should air in 2021.  Here’s the synopsis…

Day of the Dead is the intense story of six strangers trying to survive the first 24 hours of an undead invasion.

I like the sound of this quite a bit.  The  most exciting parts of zombie movies are at the very start when people don’t know what is happening or how to deal with it.  The idea of strangers having to come together to survive is a winning concept.  I just hope that the zombies aren’t able to “learn” as in Romero’s Day of the Dead.

Steranko and the American Hero Gallery Showing!!

If you’re able to get to Youngstown, Ohio between May 3 and July 5 this year, the Butler Institute of American Art will host a gallery showing of 60 select paintings by Steranko!

…STERANKO was cited by Stan Lee as one of the prime architects of the Marvel Universe; the co-creator of NICK FURY, AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D.; and the artist-writer of CAPTAIN AMERICA, THE HULK, SUPERMAN, and THE X-MEN (for which he designed the classic title logo). He generated more than 150 original storytelling devices and techniques that changed the direction of the comics’ medium, and evolved a devoted cult of followers who nicknamed him The Innovator.

Steranko has painted a multitude of movie posters, record albums, and book covers; and in 1975, created RED TIDE, the First Modern Graphic Novel. As the editor-publisher of the international newsstand entertainment magazine PREVUE, he conducted hundreds of superstar interviews and penned more than three million words. He numbers among his friends and associates writers Mickey Spillane, Arthur C. Clarke, and Ray Bradbury, and directors Federico Fellini, John Huston, and Orson Welles.

Michael Franzese, Ex-Crime Family Boss, Rates Movie Mobster Scenes

Insider sat down with Michael Franzese, a former New York mobster and ex-caporegime of the Colombo crime family. After his release from prison in 1995 he became the only high ranking official of a major mafia family to ever walk away, without protective custodies, and survive. Michael is the author of “Blood Covenant” and “I’ll Make You An Offer You Can’t Refuse.” He now works as a public speaker and motivator.

The US mafia has featured in many classic movies from the 1920s onwards. We discuss the cultural significance and accuracy of famous crime scenes in movies and TV shows, such as “The Godfather” and “The Sopranos.” Michael also points out inaccuracies in scenes from mob comedies such as “Analyze This” and “The Simpsons.”

We also discuss true stories and real-life characters featured in “Goodfellas” and “Casino.” He talks about his proximity to the events of Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman,” the Oscar-nominated movie starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
