‘Walking Dead’ Spin-Off ‘Cobalt’ Casts Its Male Lead

Published

on

Just the other day, AMC finally revealed more details about its highly anticipated spin-off of hit zombie drama The Walking Dead. The new series will be entitled Cobalt, and will indeed take place during the same zombie apocalypse currently being experienced by Rick Grimes and crew, albeit in a different location with different lead characters.

While some have worried that this might stretch The Walking Dead’s premise too thin, longtime undead fans should recognize just how much story might be left to tell within Robert Kirkman’s post-apocalyptic universe. The Walking Dead’s story has been very centralized around Atlanta, GA and its adjacent locations, making it a potentially fascinating prospect to find out what’s happening in other parts of the USA.

The latest actor to join Cobalt’s cast is Cliff Curtis, a steadily working thespian who has appeared in over 50 films and TV shows to date. While Curtis is certainly not a household name, neither were any of The Walking Dead’s cast when that show premiered, and they’re now all arguably full-fledged stars. Curtis most recently starred in the short-lived FOX drama Gang Related, and has also done supporting work in high-profile movies like Sunshine and Live Free or Die Hard.

Curtis’ character on Cobalt is named Sean Cabrera, a divorced school teacher trying to do right by his son and his fellow travelers. In a somewhat interesting note, Sean’s ex-wife is named Andrea, although she is in no way related to The Walking Dead character previously played by Laurie Holden. Curtis joins already announced cast members Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam Carey (Into the Storm). Cobalt’s female lead role of Nancy Tompkins still has yet to be cast, as do the roles of Sean’s son and ex-wife.

So far, the story has provided horror fans with a gripping game of life or death that doesn’t look as if it will slow down in episode five. Luckily, we have an exclusive clip that may be able to satiate your appetites until the new premiere.

Airing on 4/25 at 5pmPT/8pmET, episode five follows our final three contestants in this wicked game. As the stakes are raised ever higher, will Ella be able to fully awaken her connection with Lady Margaret?

Published

on

A new trailer for the movie formerly known as Pussy Island just dropped and it has us intrigued. Now with the more restrained title, Blink Twice, this  Zoë Kravitz-directed black comedy is set to land in theaters on August 23.

The film is packed with stars including Channing Tatum, Naomi Ackie, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Adria Arjona, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, and Geena Davis.

The trailer feels like a Benoit Blanc mystery; people are invited to a secluded location and disappear one by one, leaving one guest to figure out what is going on.

In the film, a billionaire named Slater King (Channing Tatum) invites a waitress named Frida (Naomi Ackie) to his private island, “It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time. No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
