Actor Jim Parsons, who rose to stardom while playing Sheldon Cooper in the long-running sitcom The Big Bang Theory, has found his next role. After a Broadway run and his work as narrator in the Big Bang spinoff prequel Young Sheldon, Parsons is ready for a major change out of comedy, as the actor has been cast in The Leader, a true-crime biopic that will tell the story of the religious cult known as Heaven's Gate.

Per Deadline, Parsons has joined Tim Blake Nelson and Vera Farmiga for the project, which is currently in production. Nelson and Farmiga are set to play the cult's leaders, Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, while Parsons' role remains under wraps. Other actors participating in the project include Grace Caroline Currey, Simon Rex, Matthew Glave, William Mapother, Geoffrey Arend, Kelly Lynn Reiter, and Molly Robbins.

Two years ago, we heard that Tim Blake Nelson and Vera Farmiga (The Conjuring) would be starring in The Leader, a true crime biopic about a story that shocked the world back in 1997, the mass suicide of the members of the Heaven’s Gate cult. That project has finally made it into production, and Deadline reports that Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) has joined the cast. Details on the character he’ll be playing haven’t been revealed – but it’s not difficult to imagine him playing a member of the Heaven’s Gate cult.

Farmiga is playing cult leader Bonnie Nettles, a.k.a. Ti. Nelson’s character is the cult’s infamous frontman, Marshall Applewhite, a.k.a. Do. Also in the cast are Simon Rex (Red Rocket), Grace Caroline Currey (Fall), Matthew Glave (The Wedding Singer), William Mapother (In the Bedroom), Jb Yowell (A Jar Full of Christmas...

Best known for his role on The Big Bang Theory as Sheldon Cooper, Jim Parsons is taking on something very different for his next big role. He is the latest addition to the cast of The Leader, an upcoming thriller inspired by the real-life story of the infamous Heaven's Gate religious group.

Per Deadline, Parsons has officially joined the cast of The Leader, but his role has not yet been disclosed. He won't be playing Marshall Herff Applewhite, referred to as "Do" by his followers, who led the group alongside Bonnie Lu Lettles, also known as "Ti." It was previously announced that Tim Blake Nelson and Vera Farmiga were respectively playing Marshall and Bonnie.

The film was written and directed by Michael Gallagher. Other confirmed cast members include Simon Rex (Red Rocket), Grace Caroline Currey (Shazam! Fury of the Gods), Matthew Glave (The Wedding Singer), William Mapother (Lost), Jb Yowell...

Exclusive: Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) is a new addition to the cast of The Leader, the true-crime thriller inspired by the story of the infamous religious group Heaven’s Gate, which is now in production.

Character details are under wraps. Parsons joins an ensemble led by Tim Blake Nelson and Vera Farmiga.

Written and directed by Michael Gallagher, The Leader tells the unbelievable true story of UFO cult leaders Marshall Herff Applewhite (Nelson) and Bonnie Lu Nettles (Farmiga), who inspired hundreds of people to abandon their families, drop out of society, and prepare to evacuate planet Earth. Heaven’s Gate, the group that inspired the film, committed the largest mass suicide ever to take place on U.S. soil.

Others in the cast include Simon Rex, Grace Caroline Currey, Matthew Glave, William Mapother, Jb Yowell, Kelly Lynn Reiter, Danielle Vasinova, Blake Robbins, Jana Gallagher, Paten Hughes, Molly Robbins,...

Lionsgate is planning to give the horror comedy creature feature Big Freaking Rat a VOD release on April 25th – and with just one month to go until that date arrives, a trailer for the film has dropped online. You can watch it in the embed above.

This film comes our way from writer/director Thomas J. Churchill, whose previous credits include A System Devoured, Emerging Past, The Day of the Living Dead, Check Point, The Rack Pack, Nation’s Fire, The Step Daddy, The Amityville Harvest, The Business of Christmas, The Amityville Moon, Amityville Uprising, The Godfather Buck, and Devilreaux. We recently heard that he’s teaming with Anson Williams of Happy Days and Brian Austin Green of Beverly Hills, 90210 on a horror thriller called The Three Killer Pigs.

The story Churchill crafted for Big Freaking Rat has the following synopsis: Ranger Brody, along with his niece and nephew, works...

Ambition outstrips expertise in writer-director Phil Blattenberger’s “Laws of Man,” whose serpentine plot winds up seeming a wild goose chase — one whose execution should have been, well, wilder. Action and atmosphere are too poorly supplied for this stab at a noirish retro thriller to emerge as anything but talky, awkward and unconvincing. Set in 1963, it takes a big narrative leap toward the end that suggests an intent closer to such willfully over-the-top Cold War paranoia fantasias as “Dr. Strangelove” and “Winter Kills.” But the satirical edge which might’ve pulled off that gambit is absent throughout, making for a whole that’s peculiar without ever being very engaging. Saban is releasing the feature to U.S. theaters, digital and On Demand platforms Jan. 10.

Less than one month after being released in theaters, the horror-comedy Lisa Frankenstein is now available at home. You can own or rent the film on Digital starting today.

Directed by Zelda Williams and written by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body), Lisa Frankenstein first dug up someone special in movie theaters nationwide on February 9.

Meagan Navarro wrote in her review for Bloody Disgusting, “Billed as a coming-of-rage tale, Lisa Frankenstein instead offers a celebration of outcasts and weirdos.”

“It makes for a sugary sweet, almost wholesome effort held together by a trio of infectiously winsome performances,” Meagan’s review continued.

“They say you cross paths with at least 20 killers in your lifetime and don’t even know it…” This line of text opens the latest feature from writer/director Thomas Walton, intending to deliver a sense of foreboding regarding what is to come. Camp Pleasant Lake unfolds on the grounds of a revitalized campsite that a couple have transformed into an interactive horror experience.

The camp was previously the location of a young girl’s disappearance, which occurred at a similar time to her parent’s murders. This unfortunate event is a selling point for the horror camp, as its opening coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the mentioned tragedy. As a killer stalks the campgrounds to decimate all in their path, everyone at the camp...

Many filmgoers probably figured they'd seen the wildest movie of the year to feature a killer animal when Cocaine Bear was released, but there's a new horror-comedy in town with a much more outlandish concept.

Set to release later this month via Gravitas Ventures, Slotherhouse is a new film that's just as it sounds. It's a horror film that sets loose a killer sloth in a sorority house, and given the cuddly nature of the animal, it's very unbefitting of what people think they might know about the creature. Filmgoers may forever see sloths differently after watching Slotherhouse when it hits theaters on Aug. 30, 2023. For now, a sneak peek can be seen by checking out the new trailer.

But when bodies slowly begin to pile up in the Sigma Lambda Theta house, Emily and her sorority sisters realize the deaths are being caused by their new house mascot, the cuddly sloth Alpha.
