It's so real you can almost see the chunks of human flesh between their mangled teeth.


Daybreakers, which comes out in theaters January 8th, is set in the future, when almost all humans have turned vampire. But with the increase in the vampire population comes the decrease in their food supply — in other words, the vampires are running out of humans. The shortage of human blood has lead to heavy dilution in the vampire blood banks, and a slow and painful vampire evolution into the fanged ugly you see above. Now it's up to vampire scientist Ethan Hawke to buck the system and find a peace between vampires and the living.

Plus if you want a good scare check out Daybreakers latest evolution trailer. Warning, it's a little loud, but still pretty creative.

<![CDATA[Golden New Stills From Shyamalan's Last Airbender]]> Now that we've gotten to know Avatar, it's finally time to rediscover Avatar: The Last Airbender, the live-action version. Here's a brand new look at the bald bad-ass Aang, getting his airbending on.

Empire Magazine released a few new stills from The Last Airbender, some even with completed FX, looking golden. Slashfilm managed to get their hands on a few scans from the issue and here's the Aang money shot — he looks both tiny and deadly, perched a top a tiny piece of wood.


Check out Slashfilm to see the additional images from the magazine. The Last Airbender will be out July 2, 2010.

<![CDATA[The Aliens Are Pissed On The Set Of Battle LA]]> Battle For LA is still filming its alien ground war in Louisiana, and we've found a few pictures of an on-set explosion. Is this the kind of alien danger Aaron Eckhart and his military unit will have to face?


The great photos were taken by manwithscaryspouse who seemed to be right next to the action and described the above pictures as, "Mushroom cloud of fire caused when production company explodes bus." Looks like they really are trying hard to keep the realistic military vibe to this alien feature. The pictures are from September of this year, but they are certainly new to us.

MTV's Hollywood Crush recently spoke with ex True Blood star Lucas Till and he described the movie asIndependence Day meets Black Hawk Down, which from the pictures, sounds about right.

"It's basically any 19-year-old guy's dream job. I get to go to work and shoot guns all day so it's pretty awesome," he told MTV News. "It's basically an unknown force attacks Los Angeles and it revolves around this platoon of marines, which I'm apart of, and then we try to save Los Angeles. And it's kind of like 'Independence Day' and 'Black Hawk Down' mixed."

The film is being directed by Jonathan Liebesman and while we're excited to see Aaron Eckhart star in his own action flick, our vote is still out until we see what these attacking aliens look like. And we have a long wait: the feature won't be released until February 2011.

<![CDATA[Your First Look Inside Tron Legacy Reveals A Sexy Upgrade]]> Check out the first ever image to come out of Tron Legacy — it's full of passionate unitard stare downs, punk wigs and disc weapons. Plus Flynn Jr. takes the wheel, in the new light-cycle poster.



Wow, Disney is riding that cyberpunk idea fast and hard. Just look at Olivia Wilde on the left. Interesting how the new light-up suits look so much less like something I could make in my basement and more like actual battle suits. Are those built in muscles and SKIN we see? This helmet-free new life of a program has undergone one sexy upgrade.

<![CDATA[Nic Cage's Dirty Sorcerer Is Over Tink's Sass]]> The new images from Jerry Bruckheimer's The Sorcerer's Apprentice live action remake are just begging for you to caption them. What do you think Nicolas Cage is really saying in this image?


The story is similar to the original: "A sorcerer leaves his workshop in the hands of his apprentice, who gets into trouble when the broomstick he's tasked to do his chores for him somehow develops a mind of its own." Jay Baruchel plays the apprentice, and Monica Bellucci is the sexy witch, who has a thing for Cage's 90s boy band-haired wizard. The film comes out July 2010.

The story begins with a fallen angel, Paul Bettany, who comes down to Earth to save a pregnant waitress at a truck stop from an army of Angels sent by God to wipe the world clean of humanity. The film is in theaters January 22, 2010.

<![CDATA[Two Of Our Favorite Monster Badasses - Unveiled!]]> We've got a better look at two badass antiheroes whose burned faces will be the centerpieces of upcoming horror adventues: Jackie Earle Haley's Freddy Krueger and Josh Brolin's Old West supernatural tough guy Jonah Hex.

Here's the first-ever reveal for Jonah Hex. It's not a lot but you can tell Jonah Hex's face is looking as grisly as it does in the comic book. Jonah's face is permanently marred by a tomahawk burn he received in his youth. If that's not enough gruesomeness for you, there's a clear picture of action figure for burned and returned child-killer Freddy Kruger.

<![CDATA[Bloody Bikini Piranha Pics Get Dreyfuss Back Into The Water]]> There's nothing like seeing Richard Dreyfuss playing around with deadly fish yet again — but this time instead of one shark, it's a school of prehistoric piranha, hungry for bikini-clad flesh. Check out some new bloody, watery Piranha set pics.

Here's the official synopsis for Piranha:

A tremor under the surface of Lake Victoria unleashes scores of prehistoric piranhas, an event which rallies the local sheriff (Elizabeth Shue) who will risk everything to save her townsfolk.

The cast is pretty impressive and includes Ving Rhames, Christopher Lloyd, Eli Roth, Elisabeth Shue, Dina Meyer and Paul Scheeer.

Piranha will be in theaters in 3D on April 16, 2010.

<![CDATA[Get Up Close And Personal With The Unholy Splice Baby]]> A few new stills have come out from Vincenzo Natali's Splice, showing you the scary results of mixing human and animal DNA. Plus the Splice baby may have something in common with alien sitcom star Alf.


Where is she off to with that cat? Is that dinner or her boyfriend? Who knows with the genetically mixed Splice baby? But we're still desperate to see this film. Check out Bloody Disgusting for a better look.

<![CDATA[Never Before Seen Ghostbusters Behind The Scenes Shots]]> A glorious collection of Ghostbusters stills and set pics have been released, showing the painstaking care that went into crafting the movie's devil-dogs and ghouls. Plus a few adorable Ray and Venkman moments. Check out the full gallery.

The official Ghostbusters site has launched, full of games, galleries and Ghostbusters auditions ripe for wasting your day away. But my personal favorite are the photos from on set. Especially the one with Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd taking a break, covered in goo on the steps. I dare you not to get nostalgic for the witty comedy delivery of Venkman past when flipping through the pictures.

If they ruin the next Ghostbusters movie, I may lose all hope for actually funny (that would be fart joke-free) science fiction humor.

<![CDATA[Ronald D. Moore's Ten-Year Space Mission Launches Early]]> We've got a slew of promo pictures from Ronald D. Moore's Virtuality two hour TV premiere, whose release date has moved up. So take a gander at the faces who will be slipping in and out of their own virtual worlds, while on a long trip into the black.

The possible series (possible), which will be airing as a two-hour TV movie on Fox, follows a crew who is on a 10-year mission, all the while visiting their own virtual reality dream sequences and having their lives taped and aired back on Earth for reality TV. I'm actually really excited to see what Jimmi Simpson and Clea DuVall are going to bring to the table, since both actors are pretty good at "troubled and disturbed" character acting. Yes that's McPoyle I'm talking about, so we're rooting for positive feedback from the audience and maybe, just maybe, it will come back as a series. But probably not.

The crew of the Phaeton is approaching the go/no-go point of their epic 10-year journey through outer space. With the fate of Earth in their hands, the pressure is intense. The best bet for helping the crew members maintain their sanity is the cutting-edge virtual reality technology installed on the ship. It's the perfect stress-reliever until they realize a glitch in the system has unleashed a virus on to the ship. Tensions mount as the crew decides how to contain the virus and complete their mission. Meanwhile, their lives are being taped for a reality show back on Earth

Virtuality will air Friday, June 26 8 PM on FOX.

<![CDATA[The Future Of Our Post-Apocalyptic World Hinges On Denzel Washington's iPod]]> New stills from Denzel Washington's post-apocalyptic Book Of Eli show a barren wasteland of sand and sunglasses huts. But more interesting than all the designer-shade-sporting extras is the fact that Denzel, the bearer of "the great book" plots his course based on his iPod's battery power.

According to USA Today, the Washington's character decides to stop into Gary Oldman's town (the source of all his troubles) because (from one of the directors Allen Hughes):

"Eli's iPod has run out of juice and to the right is the road that leads into Carnagie's (Oldman) town. Eli makes the decision to go in to town, power up his iPod and refill his canteen."

The hell? It's good to see that in a future where water is scarce, we still have our priorities straight. I mean, can you even walk in a straight line without the proper music playlist these days? Why would we assume our future selves would be any different? Apart from the fact that it looks like everyone died. But you know, a little Journey fixes everything.

The official synopsis is:

A post-apocalyptic tale, in which a lone man fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book that holds the secrets to saving humankind.

Denzel is the man with the book — and the iPod — who is traveling through. Oldman is the evil town Mayor who wants nothing more than to get his hands on the precious book. Let the scenery-chewing showdown begin. The Book of Eli will be released in theaters on January 15, 2010.

<![CDATA[The Live Action Faces Of Avatar: The Last Airbender Surface]]> Fierce twelve-year-old Noah Ringer sports his best Aang attack in the first ever official pictures from M. Night Shyamalan's Airbender (the name Avatar being taken).

Despite the controversy M. Night Shyamalan's movie has stirred by casting a predominantly white cast to portray characters and stories based on Asian culture — even with the addition of Slumdog Millionaire's Dev Patel as the villain — the production is still moving forward.

The first photos of a shaved Aang and Zuko (played by Patel) are here. What do you think? For a better look check out USA Today. Will this satisfy the fans? Shyamalan has to be hoping so, since he's planning on making a trilogy.


The release date is set for July 2, 2010.

<![CDATA[Alan Tudyk Leads The Human Resistance Against Ridiculous Alien Cleavage, In New V Stills]]> We're happy to have the first glimpse at our man Alpha, sticking it to the aliens along with fellow resistance leader Elizabeth Mitchell. What will be their greatest challenge? Supergirl's obscene alien cleavage.

Here is a large collection of publicity stills for the alien series revamp on ABC, V. But I would be remiss not to pull out and highlight one questionably silly frame - specifically Laura Vandervoort's insane breast-fu. Voort plays Lisa, the the alien seductress who works as a guide on the L.A. mothership. Seductress indeed - she looks like an ad for Wonderbra.

<![CDATA[First Look At Brandon Routh As Dylan Dog And His Undead Pals]]> The movie adaptation of Tiziano Sclavi's Dylan Dog, titled Dead Of Night, is underway. We rounded up some recently released set pics to see if star Brandon Routh can fill out the red shirt properly.

You have to admit, Routh looks strikingly like his comic book counterpart, but will he be as smooth with the ladies? It should be interesting to see how they bring this supernatural world together, especially with Taye Diggs as Varags, the leader of the vampires. These first looks come from Chud, Shock Til You Drop, IESB and Sci Fi Wire, many who just got back from a set visit in New Orleans. Click on the pictures for bigger shots.

<![CDATA[Tony Stark's Back With The New War Machine, For Iron Man 2]]> Iron Man 2 filming has finally begun, and everyone's favorite fast-talking (platform wearing) hero is back with Pepper, the Don Cheadle War Machine, and a few new faces.





Holy crap check out Tony's kicks.



Here's your first look at Cheadle, whos' replaced Terrence Howard as Tony Stark's bestest bud and the future War Machine James Rhodes. I'm sad to see Howard gone. Hopefully Cheadle can make me forget all about Howard's delightful version of Rhodey and make it his own - hopefully. Check out SpoilerTV for more Cheadle images.

Pacific Coast News snapped surprise costar Garry Shandling also on set (click on the image for a better look and for additional info).

And finally JFX Online scored a quick video of Sam Rockwell on set - sounds like just about everyone was there. I'm really excited to start seeing some footage, although Iron Man 2 still feels like forever and a day away.

<![CDATA[Splice's Animal-Human Hybrid Has Scary-Weird Feet]]> Feast your eyes on some new Splice stills, and see what happens when Adrien Brody and Guillermo del Toro play God.

Bloody Disgusting got a load of disturbing stills from the eerie science flick Splice, where a group of scientists get all splice-happy and combine human and animal DNA to form Dren (seen below) who then who grows from a baby to a full scale gross lady. Also, surprise — David Hewlett is in this film, lets hope they get together.




Vincenzo Natali's film, produced by Del Toro, comes out around September. Check out all the other stills over at Bloody Disgusting.

<![CDATA[Ed Westwick Get's A Bloody Face Full Of Sparkle Motion For S. Darko]]> Looks like Ed Westwick wasn't committed enough to Sparkle Motion. We've got a handful of set pics from the Donnie Darko sequel, S. Darko, featuring Donnie's short-shorted little sis, wounded friends... and blood.

Ever since they canceled the panel at NYCC, we've been hellbent on getting to the bottom of this strange DVD release. S. Darko (starring Jackson Rathbone, Ed Westwick Briana Evingan and the original little sister form Daveigh Chase from Donnie) looks like it takes place in the middle of the desert. Perhaps some cigarette-in-sleeve-rolling bad boy wrecks a pretty red car into some sort of bone covered wagon (What the hell are those things all over the car anyways)? Anyway, the main story follows Samantha Darko and her bestie Corey on the road to LA to "make it big" but on the way a meteorite crashes down and the two start to have terrible visions.

S. Darko will be released onto DVD April 28th.
