Mickey Rourke, Mekhi Phifer and Udo Kier are teaming to lead “Mascots,” an independent thriller beginning production in Southern California in the fall.

Written and directed by Kerry Mondragon, the desert-set 1990s period piece follows two brothers (Oliver Hibbs Wyman and Blaine Kern III) who, with the help of some costumes, have escaped a lifetime of captivity under Rourke’s character.

Details on Phifer and Kier’s characters remain under wraps. Other actors attached include Felicia “Snoop” Pearson and Til Schweiger.

Calling the film “deeply personal” in a statement, Mondragon added that “Mascots” “reflects the ripple effects of toxic masculinity, mental illness and generational abuse that give birth to chosen identities and the raw, weird beauty of survival. I want to capture the dissonance of seeing the world for the first time through unfiltered eyes.”

Executive producers on “Mascots” include Kimberly Hines for Luminary Partners, Peter Gold of Gold Films for Castleland,...

The first word heard in “Feeling Randy” is “boner,” which, when taken together with the film’s title, promises a salacious and raunchy comedy. But writer-director Dean Lent’s debut feature (not counting the 1987 anthology film “Border Radio”) is sweeter and much more sublime than the usual teenage-boys-trying-to-lose-their-virginity romp. That may be its plot, but this semiautobiographical project is far from films like “Porky’s” or “American Pie.” Set in the Bay Area in the 1970s, “Feeling Randy” offers a humorous and sensitive portrayal of coming to terms with one’s sexuality.

Announcing its irreverent tone through sly chapter titles written in period-appropriate Recoleta font, and a droll voiceover from its eponymous lead (Reid Miller), “Feeling Randy” wastes no time establishing its premise and then keeps the narrative rhythm flowing. The setup is simple: Four teenage boys plan to lose their virginity by taking a road trip to a Nevada brothel.

Exclusive: Helena Howard (Madeline’s Madeline), Bella Thorne (Divinity), Zión Moreno (Gossip Girl), Chloe Cherry (Euphoria) and Sophia Ali (Uncharted) have wrapped production on Find Your Friends, a thriller marking the feature directorial debut of actor-filmmaker Izabel Pakzad.

Others to appear in the film include Chris Bauer (The Wire), Jake Manley (The Order), Israel Broussard (Happy Death Day), Harrison Sloan Gilbertson (Oppenheimer), and Blaine Kern III (Accused).

Written by Pakzad, Find Your Friends watches as Amber and her four best girlfriends take a trip to escape the L.A. bubble and cut loose in Joshua Tree for the weekend. But upon arrival, they quickly realize the locals don’t want them there. As the hostile environment escalates, our girls are disparaged by their aggressive neighbor, dismissed by the cops, and, it seems, even being stalked by some local men. But as her friends uncover Amber’s past trauma,...

Fox will put a group of celebrities through intense military-style training in a new competition show.

The network has set a January premiere date for Special Forces: The Ultimate Test, which will follow 16 celebs as they take on a series of challenges pulled from the actual special forces selection process under the eye of four former military operatives.

Fox announced the series Wednesday during its time at the Television Critics Association press tour. The network has also added six actors — including Emmy winner Margo Martindale and Emmy nominee Molly Parker — to its courtroom anthology Accused and set a premiere date for its previously announced Lego Masters celebrity holiday edition.

Dreamcatcher will be in Theaters, On Demand and Digital March 5th. Here’s the trailer:

Dylan, known to his fans as DJ Dreamcatcher, is on the brink of global stardom. Everything changes the night of Cataclysm, an underground music festival, where two estranged sisters and their friends meet Dylan. After a drug fueled gruesome event, things begin to spiral into a 48-hour whirlwind of violence and mayhem.

Dreamcatcher stars Niki Koss, Zachary Gordon, Travis Burns, Blaine Kern III, Olivia Sui, Emrhys Cooper, Elizabeth Posey, Nazanin Mandi, Adrienne Wilkinson, and Lou Ferrigno Jr.

Here’s director Jacob Johnston statement about Dreamcatcher:

“The inception of Dreamcatcher began with a love of classic literature, 90’s ensemble horror, and a late-night walk to my neighborhood Trader Joe’s. Having known [producers] Brandon and Krystal Vayda for many years, when they called me with an opportunity to helm a: ‘music-based, ensemble thriller that speaks to...

"All they wanted... was a killer night out." Oh what a tagline. Samuel Goldwyn Films has released an official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Dreamcatcher, not to be confused with the other horror film also titled Dreamcatcher from 2003. This new horror film centers on two estranged sisters who, along with their friends, become entrenched in a 48 hour whirlwind of violence & chaos after a traumatic experience at an underground dance music festival. Sounds intense. The film's cast includes Niki Koss, Zachary Gordon, Travis Burns, Blaine Kern III, Olivia Sui, Emrhys Cooper, Elizabeth Posey, Nazanin Mandi, Adrienne Wilkinson, and Lou Ferrigno Jr. This looks absolutely ridiculous, a strange rip-off of Scream using the Phantom of the Paradise mask set at a rave. Even worse this film just doesn't fit in with the times. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Jacob Johnston's Dreamcatcher, direct from YouTube: Dylan, known...

Tagline: "Get Ready for a Killer Night Out." Dreamcatcher is the directing debut of Jacob Johnston. Shot in Los Angeles, this feature completed in July of 2020, despite the challenges of shooting.

As well, Dreamcatcher stars: Niki Koss (My Stepdaughter), Zachary Gordon (Dead of Summer), Travis Burns (Sunrise in Heaven), Blaine Kern III and several others. The film's early artwork and a still are available now. Johnston's debut also mentions the title is based on a DJ. Dylan (Burns) is set to hit the world stage, when a disaster hits during his set. Now, partiers must face 48 hours of mayhem. The official artwork and early still show the film's villain. Masked, this killer goes about his work with a knife and a hood.

Exclusive: Samuel Goldwyn Films has secured the North American rights to Jacob Johnston’s directorial debut feature, Dreamcatcher, set for a digital and on-demand release in March.

The cast includes Niki Koss (Famous in Love), Zachary Gordon (Diary Of A Wimpy Kid), Travis Burns (Neighbours), Blaine Kern III (The Perfect Date), Olivia Sui (Smosh), Elizabeth Posey (Starz series Heels), Emrhys Cooper, Ben. J Pierce, Al Calderon, Eva Shaw, Nazanin Mandi, Adrienne Wilkinson, and Lou Ferrigno Jr.

Written by Johnston, the horror-thriller centers on Dylan, known to his fans as DJ Dreamcatcher, who is on the brink of global stardom.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for “The Walking Dead” Season 10, Episode 5, “What It Always Is.”]

It’s tempting to praise “What It Always Is” simply because of how busy it gets. Most “Walking Dead” episodes move like molasses, but this week’s entry has no less than four significant plot threads going, which at least keeps the pace pulsing. Unfortunately, all but one of those threads have major problems, with its most significant entry — Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) gets a new acolyte — being particularly dire. The upside: Episode 5 sets the stage for more compelling developments next week, but it’s a hard road getting there. The cracks in this season are just getting wider.

Last week I noted that “The Walking Dead” is always more interesting when it explores its heroes’ fallibility, as paranoia about the Whisperers leads to unrest in both Hilltop and Alexandria. Of course, it’s not paranoia if they’re really out to get you,...

The Walking Dead Season 10 Episode 5

Mantras return throughout The Walking Dead. Characters all seem to have some sort of life lesson they wish to impart to others, or that they must tell themselves over and over again to keep on surviving. Alpha has her masks, and her willingness to take them of and put them on. Ezekiel has his, “And still I smile.” And of course, Negan has “We are Negan,” which is all well and good when you're in charge of a whole community of people but not as good when it's being parroted back to you by a demented, devoted fan boy who only wants to have your approval of his senselessly violent actions undertaken in your name.

Negan, when he was the leader of the Saviors,...

The Walking Dead returns for its tenth season in just a couple of months and, to get us even more hyped for the show reaching such a major milestone, AMC has now released a bunch of images from the upcoming run.

There are a lot of things of note about these pics, too, which may tease a few storylines that’ll play out over season 10. For one, Daryl and Carol are seen on the former’s motorbike together – a hint that they could finally become an item this year? Then there’s Eugene with the radio, reminding us that a mysterious female voice was heard to reach out last season.

One photo also introduces newcomer Brandon (Blaine Kern III), who’s seen with a gardening Negan. In the comics, Brandon helps the former villain to escape and join with the Whisperers. This was a bad choice on his part, though,...

A few years back, Blumhouse and writer-director Christopher Landon proved that a PG-13 slasher movie could work with their teen-friendly masked killer movie Happy Death Day. In fact, that teen-slasher flick was so popular that it spawned a sequel earlier this year with the silly-titled follow-up Happy Death Day 2U. And today we're hearing that Blumhouse has begun developing a third (and final?) entry in the teen slasher series, Happy Death Day 3.

Truth be told, I'm not sure I'm excited for Happy Death Day 3. I mean don't get me wrong, I was all kinds of ready to check out Happy Death Day 2U when it hit earlier this year. But then that sequel was far too silly for my liking. In fact, I think it'd be hard to label the follow-up as a horror-comedy as it seemed like it was a straight-up comedy to this guy. Boring. Anyhow, I'd say...

Not to be confused with the Stephen King story, Deadline reports that an indie horror film titled Dreamcatcher has enlisted a handful of young stars, including Zachary Gordon (above), Niki Koss and Olivia Sui.

Exclusive: Diary of a Wimpy Kid star Zachary Gordon, Niki Koss from Freeform’s Famous in Love, and Olivia Sui have been tapped to topline the indie horror thriller, Dreamcatcher, alongside Elizabeth Posey (Gully), Emrhys Cooper (Mamma Mia!) Blaine Kern III (Happy Death Day), and Travis Burns (Neighbours).

Jacob Johnston wrote the script and will helm the film as his first directorial feature. It’s an ensemble piece that follows a group who plan to avenge the mysterious death of their friend at a Music Festival, only to end up stalked by the same assailant.

Filming will commence this month in Los Angeles. Krystal Vayda and Brandon Vayda are producing via their newly launched Quarzo Studios, which will focus on new adult and young adult projects. Jacques Kurdian is also producing the project, while Jaime Gallagher and Kristifor Cvijetic serve as co-producers.
