Marilyn Manson Sings in New Trailer For ‘Let Me Make You A Martyr’

Published

on

Something wicked this way comes – and it brings Marilyn Manson along with it.

In a new trailer for Let Me Make You A Martyr, slated for released through most VOD outlets on June 6th, Marilyn Manson sings a harrowing, sinister song for the audience. As he croons that he is “born to preach the gospel,” we can safely assume that his gospel is more Cenobite than Christ. After all, he just got done telling the driver of the car that his father killed a man with his bare hands. Oh, and he’s also holding a gun. This may be someone’s last drive.

In Let Me Make You A Martyr, Marilyn Manson stars as a hitman named Pope, hired by a father to kill his two adopted sons before they can kill him. It’s a family movie – if murder and mayhem instead of Minions is your type of family movie. John Swab and Corey Asraf wrote and directed the film.

A.V. Club brought us a new trailer for the film, which you can see below.

Additionally, the site listed a number of pre-screening locations for the film. If you live near any of these places, it may be a good idea to explore these dates further. The trailer is filled with gritty intrigue; though I may not be the biggest Marilyn Manson fan, Let Me Make You a Martyr looks like it has the potential to change that.

Let Me Make You A Martyr will be screened at the following locations:

May 25—Tulsa, OK—Circle Cinema (w/ directors John Swab/Corey Asraf and actor Sam Quartin)

May 27—Austin, TX—Alamo Drafthouse (w/ directors John Swab/Corey Asraf and actor Sam Quartin)

June 5—Los Angeles, CA—Sunset 5 Cinemas (w/ actors Mark Boone Junior, Slaine, Niko Nicotera, Sam Quartin)

June 9—Brooklyn, NY—Anthology Film Archives (w/ actors Michael Potts, Gore Abrams, and Sam Quartin)

IMDb synopsis:

Adopted siblings (Sam Quartin, Niko Nicotera) hatch a plot to kill their abusive father (Mark Boone Junior), a local crime boss who won’t go down easily.

‘Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3’ Is a Go with Enhanced Budget and New Characters

Published

on

Winnie the Pooh 3

Wow, they’re churning things out fast! The upcoming sequel “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 3” is officially moving forward, promising an expanded narrative with a larger budget and the introduction of beloved characters from A.A. Milne’s original tales. As confirmed by Variety, the third installment in the horror franchise will welcome Rabbit, the heffalumps, and the woozles into its dark and twisted narrative.

This sequel is a part of an ambitious cinematic universe that reimagines children’s stories as horror tales. Alongside “Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey” and its first sequel, the universe includes films such as “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Bambi: The Reckoning,” and “Pinocchio Unstrung”. These movies are set to converge in the crossover event “Poohniverse: Monsters Assemble,” slated for a 2025 release.

Winnie the Pooh Poohniverse

The creation of these films was made possible when A.A. Milne’s 1926 children’s book “Winnie-the-Pooh” entered the public domain last year, allowing filmmakers to explore these cherished characters in unprecedented ways. Director Rhys Frake-Waterfield and producer Scott Jeffrey Chambers, of Jagged Edge Productions, have led the charge in this innovative endeavor.

The inclusion of Rabbit, heffalumps, and woozles in the upcoming sequel introduces a new layer to the franchise. In Milne’s original stories, heffalumps are imagined creatures resembling elephants, while woozles are known for their weasel-like characteristics and a penchant for stealing honey. Their roles in the narrative remain to be seen, but their addition promises to enrich the horror universe with deeper connections to the source material.
