Michael Biehn; Underrated Movies and Production Company

Published

on

You may know Michael Biehn from his more popular roles such as Capt. Dwayne Hicks in Aliens, Lt. Coffey in The Abyss, and of course Sgt. Kyle Reese from the original Terminator. Many of Biehn’s roles are leaders in the military, sheriffs, or other position of authority.  He has a natural commanding presence about himself which translates well on screen.  However, this veteran of the horror and science fiction industries has many other movies that fans of the genres would love!

In 2000 Cherry Falls was released with an eclectic cast including Michael Biehn, Brittany Murphy, and Jay Mohr, as well as a young Jesse Bradford before Swim Fan came out two years later.  Usually you wouldn’t throw these actors together, and while Mohr definitely didn’t meet the caliber of Biehn or Murphy, the story line was still interesting, to say the least.

Michael Biehn is the sheriff of a sleepy town called Cherry Falls, but the town is about to wake up when a serial killer is on the hunt for virgin teenagers.  That’s right, virgins.  So what’s the only logical thing to do?  Take yourself off of the menu by hooking up at an orgy party of course.  Now Sheriff Brent Marken is in a race against time to capture this killer before his daughter (Murphy) or any other students are killed at the high school for keeping their virginal virtues.  Cherry Falls might sound ridiculous, but it’s an underrated slasher movie of 2000, a time before found footage films and torture porn.

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s project Grindhouse features two films; Planet Terror and Death Proof.  While still portraying a stoic sheriff you get to see an unexplored side of Biehn in Planet Terror, a little bit of comedy.  In the movie Sheriff Hague (Biehn) is in a feud with his brother J.T. Hague (Jeff Fahey) over his BBQ recipe that has made his establishment so successful.  It’s amusing to see the two brothers banter back and forth, and this is what separates this role from others Biehn has taken.

It’s been 33 years since many of us movie fans have been introduced to Michael Biehn in The Terminator.  Despite being typecast he has survived in the two genres fans initially found him in.  Still he appears at conventions meeting his fans and making movies we enjoy.  Currently the actor is working on co-producing as well as co-starring in Killer Weekend.  He and his wife have formed the production company Blanc-Biehn Productions which have also been involved in films such as The Farm and The VictimCheck out their production company here!

Trailer for ‘The Exorcism’ Has Russell Crowe Possessed

Published

on

The latest exorcism movie is about to drop this summer. It’s aptly titled The Exorcism and it stars Academy Award winner turned B-movie savant Russell Crowe. The trailer dropped today and by the looks of it, we are getting a possession movie that takes place on a movie set.

Just like this year’s recent demon-in-media-space film Late Night With the Devil, The Exorcism happens during a production. Although the former takes place on a live network talk show, the latter is on an active sound stage. Hopefully, it won’t be entirely serious and we’ll get some meta chuckles out of it.

The film will open in theaters on June 7, but since Shudder also acquired it, it probably won’t be long after that until it finds a home on the streaming service.

Crowe plays, “Anthony Miller, a troubled actor who begins to unravel while shooting a supernatural horror film. His estranged daughter, Lee (Ryan Simpkins), wonders if he’s slipping back into his past addictions or if there’s something more sinister at play. The film also stars Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, Adam Goldberg and David Hyde Pierce.”

Crowe did see some success in last year’s The Pope’s Exorcist mostly because his character was so over-the-top and infused with such comical hubris it bordered on parody. We will see if that is the route actor-turned-director Joshua John Miller takes with The Exorcism.

Published

28 years later

Danny Boyle is revisiting his 28 Days Later universe with three new films. He will direct the first, 28 Years Later, with two more to follow. Deadline is reporting that sources say Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes have been cast for the first entry, a sequel to the original. Details are being kept under wraps so we don’t know how or if the first original sequel 28 Weeks Later fits into the project.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes

Boyle will direct the first movie but it’s unclear which role he will take on in the subsequent films. What is known is Candyman (2021) director Nia DaCosta is scheduled to direct the second film in this trilogy and that the third will be filmed immediately afterward. Whether DaCosta will direct both is still unclear.

Alex Garland is writing the scripts. Garland is having a successful time at the box office right now. He wrote and directed the current action/thriller Civil War which was just knocked out of the theatrical top spot by Radio Silence’s Abigail.

There is no word yet on when, or where, 28 Years Later will start production.

28 Days Later

The original film followed Jim (Cillian Murphy) who wakes from a coma to find that London is currently dealing with a zombie outbreak.
