Focus Features announced today that the latest installment of the 'Insidious' franchise, 'Insidious 3,' has officially commenced with production. However, while cast members Lin Shaye, Angus Sampson and Mr. Whannell are reprising their roles from the previous films, this next chapter is not a continuation -- it's a prequel!
Get ready, folks, because there's another trip to a remote cabin in the woods that'll eventually go horribly wrong. As per the 'Honeymoon' trailer, 'Game of Thrones' star Rose Leslie is a victim of circumstance as she attempts to enjoy her honeymoon with her on-screen hubby Harry Treadaway (from 'Penny Dreadful'). Don't people know by now to stay away from these creepy cabins?
We have our 'Wreck-It Ralph,' various video game-adapted movies, and even a feature-length 'Angry Birds' film on the way, but now Hollywood is continuing the rich traditional of creating worlds around our favorite nostalgic items with the announcement of a 'Space Invaders' movie.
Remember that creepy doll that gave you nightmares in 'The Conjuring'? The one Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga told their daughter NOT to touch? Well, Warner Bros. gave the possessed item its own spinoff movie, and the first 'Annabelle' trailer has debuted to bring on the scares.
Yes, Ben Affleck is the most hated man in America, but we're not referring to his Batman backlash (though, that has arguably quelled considerably). The latest 'Gone Girl' trailer previews director David Fincher's adaptation of the best-selling novel of the same name, in which Affleck's Nick Dunne becomes the primary suspect in his wife's disappearance and presumed murder.
What's the prophesy, again? If a virgin lights the black-flame candle on All Hallow's Eve, Sarah, Winnie and Mary will rise up from the grave. Well, Tina Fey may not have lit any sketchy candles (that we know), but the gestating 'Hocus Pocus 2' has reportedly enlisted the comedienne to bring her magic touch to this beloved film for another go.
'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1' continues its streak of viral marketing with a message from President Snow himself (played by Donald Sutherland) as he addresses the citizens of Panem with Katniss' District 12 cohort and love interest Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) by his side. While this, along with its TheCapitol.pn homebase, may seem like a fun way of promoting the film, it actually points to a plot point to come in the movie.
Finally, after a string of promo videos teasing the forthcoming vampiric epidemic, FX has released a full trailer for 'The Strain,' featuring actual footage from the new horror series. We've already seen the first photos from the premiere episode, debuting on the network this July 13, so sneak a peek at 'House of Cards'' Corey Stoll fighting off the vampire threat.
Earlier today, Lionsgate released our first official look at 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 1,' the third installment of the blockbuster franchise led by Jennifer Lawrence. Not only did we get our first look at newcomer Julianne Moore as District 13's President Coin, we also glimpsed the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, who passed away before finishing his work and would reportedly be inserted into more scenes through special effects. To calm fans' nerves a bit, however, director Francis Lawrence has finally addressed the matter.
"Cat is out of the bag," tweeted Kevin Spacey as he and Activision unveiled the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare trailer, which both previews one hell of an action-packed game and prominently features the 'House of Cards' star as he readies to bring some Underwood-ian power-mongering to the video game world.
