‘The Domestics’ Are Coming Home on VOD This Summer

Published

on

A post-apocalyptic wasteland, malicious tribes straight out a Road Warrior film, and wholesome family values: this is what everyone can expect from The Domestics.

Writer/director Mike P. Nelson (The Retirement of Joe Corduroy, The Goodbye) has teamed up with Gianni Naunnari (producer of From Dusk Till Dawn and exec producer of Se7en) and distributor Orion Classics to bring The Domestics to select theaters and VOD.

Orion Pictures released a trailer earlier this week showing off the bleak wasteland, the vicious comic-book-like gangs, and intense action characters that Mark and Nina West will confront on their journey through the hellscape.

In addition to the trailer and release dates, the film has also received an official poster of the lovely couple with a few of the aforementioned tribe members.

The plot for The Domestics is detailed as:

In a terrifying post-apocalyptic world inhabited by gangs divided into deadly factions, a husband and wife race desperately across the countryside in search of safety and must work together as they are pushed to the breaking point in order to survive.

Tyler Hoechlin (Road to Perdition, Teen Wolf), Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns, Straw Dogs, 21), Sonoya Mizuno (Ex-Machina, La La Land), and Lance Reddick (John Wick, John Wick 2) star in this post-apocalyptic thriller.

With a horror industry consisting of a seeming endless stream of post-apocalyptic zombie films, it’s awesome to see something that focuses on crazy villains roaming the wastelands in contrast to the hordes of undead.

After a catastrophic event has wiped out most of mankind, the remaining survivors have divided into rival gangs – because nothing keeps you going like teamwork. The tribes – each rallied around a central theme – provide a far more active threat than shambling corpses.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Nelson described the importance of doing everything “in camera” to achieve a gnarly effect. He explains that the film is “surrounded by loads of intense action and old-school horror. I wanted to make a movie that did action the old-fashioned way”.

The Domestics can be seen in select theaters on June 28th (with its premiere as the opening night film at Cinepocalypse 2018 in Chicago), and will land on VOD on June 29th.

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.

’28 Years Later’ Trilogy Taking Shape With Serious Star Power

Published

on

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.
