First Promo for Season 6 of DEXTER

by Matt Goldberg  Posted: May 8th, 2011

It’s still a long way until fall, but Showtime has already started running promos for the sixth season of Dexter.  The promo doesn’t have any new footage and it provides more of a recap of previous seasons.  What’s interesting is what it chooses to recap: single antagonists.  Last season marked a departure for the show as it took the focus off Dexter learning a valuable lesson from a big bad and instead developed a strong relationship with a new, not-evil character.  However, judging solely by this new promo, it’s possible that season six will be a return to form for America’s favorite serial killer.
Hit the jump to check out the promo.  No official premiere date has been announced for season six, but with the exception of the first season, every season of Dexter has premiered at the end of September.

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: May 9th, 2011

The first trailer and poster for Final Destination 5 have gone online.  This time the big disaster is on a suspension bridge.  As always, those who don’t have the courtesy to die in giant disasters get hunted down by the grim reaper and eliminated in gruesome, Rube Goldberg-projects of doom.  In a hint that the series may be running out of creative ways to off its characters, Final Destination 5 preys on our fears of LASIK and acupuncture.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  Final Destination 5 stars Emma Bell, Nick D’Agosto, Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, P.J. Byrne, Ellen Wroe, Courtney B. Vance, David Koechner, and Tony Todd.  The film opens in 3D on August 26th.

F. Gary Gray to Direct THE LAST DAYS OF AMERICAN CRIME Starring Sam Worthington

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 9th, 2011

Back in November 2009, before Sam Worthington broke out with Avatar but after he had garnered some attention for Termination Salvation, he signed on to star in an adaptation of the comic book The Last Days of American Crime.  And the project has been silent until today.  Deadline is reporting that director F. Gary Gray (Law Abiding Citizen) will helm the project, which centers on a group of thieves who plan to pull off a heist before America launches a new mind-control technology that will erase the criminal impulse in all citizens.  Karl Gajdusek (Horizons) is rewriting the script.
While Worthington has a slew of projects at his disposal, Deadline reports that he’ll do American Crime as his follow up to the Clash of the Titans sequel.  Shooting is expected to begin in September. Hit the jump for the comic’s official synopsis.

Johnny Depp Says THE LONE RANGER Will Reinvent the Role of Tonto

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 9th, 2011

When it was reported that Johnny Depp would be playing Tonto in the adaptation of The Lone Ranger, some were left wondering why an actor of Depp’s stature would take the sidekick role.  The answer: he wouldn’t.  In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Depp expresses bewilderment that Tonto would take orders from The Lone Ranger:

“I remember watching [the 1949-1957 TV series in reruns] as a kid, with Jay Silverheels and Clayton Moore, and going: ‘Why is the f—ing Lone Ranger telling Tonto what to do?’”

Apparently Johnny Depp was a foul-mouthed kid.  Hit the jump for what he and director Gore Verbinski (Rango) are planning for the film adaptation.
