‘High-Rise’ First Trailer

This movie has been on my movie radar, watch list for a 

while now. After seeing the movie Kill List by Ben Wheatley 

for me he became a director to watch out for, and I have 

watched all of his movies to date and enjoyed them all. So 

when I heard about the movie High-Rise and that it was 

directed by Ben Wheatley, for me it became a movie to 

watch out for. 

Last week High Rise was picked up for distribution by 

Magnolia Pictures, and now we have the first teaser/trailer for

the movie. 

The trailer seems to act as a sort of promotional video for 

the luxury apartment complex's.

special, that you can check out below. 












Ridley Scott Promises Familiar Aliens in Alien: Covenant

Source:comingsoon.net


I think that we all new that this had to happen, because if not 

I believe the movie would have just got as much hate as 

Prometheus, although Prometheus did gross more than 

$400 million worldwide. The problem with Prometheus and

what disappointed myself and many over devoted Alien fans 

was that the movie did not feature the franchise original 

creature design. 

But that is not going to be the case with the upcoming 

Alien: Covenant. 

Director Ridley Scott tells The Wrap that this movie will 

definitely bring back H.R. Giger's popular Xenomorph in it's 

many terrifying forms.   

“We’ll have them all,” Scott promises, “Egg, face-hugger, chest-burster, then the big boy.”
Alien: Covenant is set to be the second chapter in a prequel 
trilogy, that will eventually tie in with the 1979 horror classic 
Alien. 
This is what Scott had to say on the plot of Alien: Covenant
“They’re going to go to the planet where the engineers came from,” Scott continues, “and come across the evolving creature that they had made. Why did they make it? Why would they make such a terrifying beast? It felt bio-mechanoid, it felt like a weapon. And so the movie will explain that, and reintroduce the alien back into it.”
Alien: Covenant will hit the theatres on October 7th 2017.

female lead Ghostbuster movie.

Hero.
