The Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds starring supernatural action-comedy R.I.P.D. seemingly came out of now where just a few days ago with a new image and just like that, here’s the film’s first trailer! I’ve got to say, it’s pretty damn awesome and not at all what I was expecting. In the trailer Jeff Bridges immediately steals the show by delivering some solid one-liners and just generally being a badass. So far R.I.P.D. looks like a lot of fun. Watch it below!

Nick is dead — at least, that’s how he remembers it — and teams up with another deceased detective, a gunslinger from the Old West (played by Jeff Bridges), to work for the elite task force, the Rest In Peace Department (hence the title), to track down the dead on Earth. (Due to overpopulation, some unsettled spirits haven’t gone where they’re supposed to, and are hiding out). Technically, R.I.P.D. officers (who are overseen by Mary-Louise Parker) aren’t allowed to kill anyone living, and aren’t supposed to interact with anyone from their previous lives, but Nick is haunted by the fact that he was murdered by another cop (played by Kevin Bacon), and can’t let it go.

Directed by Peter Schwentke (RED), this flick stars the great looking cast of Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Stephanie Szostak, and Marisa Miller.

Teaser poster for Only God Forgives wants you to meet the Devil

EW got their hands on a new teaser poster for Nicolas Winding Refn’s upcoming thriller Only God Forgives and it’s very cool. I’d like to think that it’s pretty safe to say that seeing Ryan Gosling re-team with Refn on this badass looking flick makes this one of the more anticipated films of the year. The latest poster shows a neon dragon with the words “Time to meet the Devil” inside its mouth — AKA, it’s all sorts of badass!

Bangkok. Ten years ago Julian killed a cop and went on the run. Now he manages a Thai boxing club as a front for a drugs operation. Respected in the criminal underworld, deep inside, he feels empty. When Julian’s brother murders a prostitute, the police call on retired cop Chang – the Angel of Vengeance. Chang allows the father to kill his daughter’s murderer, then ‘restores order’ by chopping off the man’s right hand. Julian’s mother Jenna – the head of a powerful criminal organization – arrives in Bangkok to collect her son’s body. She dispatches Julian to find his killers and ‘raise hell’

Where the Devil Hides gets a teaser poster

Ryan —  April 17, 2013 — 5 Comments

Christian E. Christiansen’s latest flick went through a few name changes before finally landing on Where the Devil Hides and now it’s got an all new hi-res teaser poster for us to stare at. Earlier in the week there was a bootleg version of the poster floating around so if you dug it then, you’re really going to like it this time around.

Something very strange happened in the small village of New Bethlehem, a devout community kept under the tight reins of the town’s vigilant Elders. Six girls born on the same day to different mothers. Perhaps a coincidence or as most believe a chilling omen of something yet to come. Now, on the eve of their 18th birthday, the young women are mysteriously disappearing one by one and feared dead. Terror has overtaken this quiet community. Could this be the work of a serial killer, one of the village elders or a horrific prophecy come true, born of the supernatural, The Occult?

Directed by Christian E. Christiansen, Where the Devil Hides stars Rufus Sewell, Jennifer Carpenter, Colm Meaney, and Alycia Debnam Carey with an expected release of October 11th.
