The Resident Trailer released - Christopher Lee's Hammer return

Let Me In may not have set the world alight, but the rejuvenated Hammer Films already has it's next release in place, the Hilary Swank starring thriller The Resident.

The trailer is now available over at Apple and frankly doesn't look that exciting. The main point of interest to horror aficionados is the appearance of Christopher Lee in a Hammer production for the first time in almost forty years. Lee, along with Peter Cushing, was a staple of Hammer's output throughout the 1960's and his appearance in the new production is, depending on your point of view, either a nice throw back to the companies history or a shameless marketing ploy.

James Bond returns?

The new Bond film has been delayed numerous time as a result of MGM Studio's financial problems (which also caused considerable delays to the forthcoming Hobbit films). Empire Online now reports that the film is officially back in production, with a November 12 2012 release date in place. Daniel Craig will return for his third stint as Bond, with respected director Sam Mendes taking the reins.

Little is known about the plot of the film, other than it is expected to tie up some of the loose ends from Craig's previous Bond Outings Casino Royale and the frankly incomprehensible Quantum of Solace.

Tetsuo 3 trailer

Fans of Shinya Tsukamoto will be pleased to note that the latest film in his dark Cyberpunk series will be released on demand in America on 19 January, with a limited cinema release following two days later. Tetsuo 3 premiered at the Venice film festival to positive reviews. The film is also Tsukamoto's English language debut. Unfortunately we are still waiting on details of a UK release, In the meantime, heres the trailer :






The official synopsis states:

The third installment in the series, TETSUO III: THE BULLET MAN, and Tsukamoto’s first English-language film, stars Eric Bossick as Anthony, a young man who was born and raised in Tokyo and is now raising a family there. What should be a happy time in Anthony’s life is not: his wife is crippled by anxiety and unable to leave the house. She also has recurring nightmares about a horrible fate awaiting the pair’s young son, Tom. Those nightmares turn out to be prophetic when Tom is cruelly run down in the street. Losing their boy pushes Yuriko over the edge and triggers violent emotions in Anthony, whose body begins to transform. Anthony flies into a terrible rage, and soon discovers that the power of his emotion transforms him into a strange, metallic monster. When the driver who killed Tom reappears and Anthony learns the truth about his father’s past experiments on human guinea pigs and about his mother’s death, Anthony mutates into a mass of metal – a human weapon fueled by an uncontrollable rage. This delights the mysterious man who ran down Anthony’s son, a man who now continually taunts Anthony from a distance.
