Juan Antonio Bayona has made quite a name for himself with films like The Orphanage under his belt, and now the time has come to see what this incredibly capable filmmaker can do on the small screen, specifically for Showtime with "Penny Dreadful." From the Press Release Critically-acclaimed, award-winning Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona (The Impossible, The Orphanage) will helm the first two episodes in the eight-episode series order of the upcoming SHOWTIME drama "PENNY DREADFUL" – created, written and executive produced by three-time Oscar nominee John Logan (Hugo, The Aviator, Gladiator) and executive produced by Oscar winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Skyfall) and Neal Street's Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, Call the Midwife). "PENNY DREADFUL," a psychosexual horror series, features some of literature’s most iconic figures and will begin production in London this fall. In "PENNY DREADFUL," some of literature’s most famously terrifying characters – including Dr. Frankenstein and his creature, Dorian Gray, and iconic figures from the novel Dracula – become embroiled in Victorian London. The series weaves together these classic horror origin stories as the characters grapple with their monstrous alienation. This project marks Logan and Mendes’ second major collaboration, following Skyfall, their box office record-breaking James Bond film, which Mendes directed and Logan co-wrote; and their first ever collaboration for television. The project will be produced by Mendes' production company Neal Street Productions. Bayona is an acclaimed and award-winning director, best known for his work on the hugely successful 2007 horror film The Orphanage and the 2012 Oscar-contender The Impossible, starring Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts in her Golden Globe and Oscar-nominated role.

Some show floor photos from the ongoing Licensing Expo have hit the Interwebs featuring some banner art for Legendary Pictures' upcoming version of Godzilla along with goods from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Ghostbusters, Divergent, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Coming Soon is the one we have to thank for the eye candy, the most curious of which is the Ghostbusters one touting the film's 30th anniversary. Could this be the first real indication that Ghostbusters III is indeed happening, or is it simply an ad celebrating the occasion? Only time will tell. The rest of the art you see below has either been released before or recycled to mark the available rights to upcoming products based on each film. I don't know about you guys, but I personally cannot wait for my Divergent throwing knife replica, which also makes the ideal coat hook! Look for more on each of these flicks soon!

"Ahh, This Movie!" "Are They Mental?" Both are acronyms I made up to go along with ATM's brand of painful, nearly braindread thrills, if that's what you want to call them. The premise stands on shaky ground to begin with, but filmmakers have worked with less than this before - the Ryan Reynolds'-helmed Buried comes to mind, a film that takes place nearly entirely underground in an enclosed casket and yet still manages to keep a steadier pulse than this film.Granted, director David Brooks makes a bold move to even try to direct a film that would have best worked as a short television episode. David (Brian Geraghty), Emily (Alice Eve), and Corey (Josh Peck) decide to ditch the company Christmas party on a cold winter's night to head home, but before they make it to the warm confines of their apartments, they stop at an indoor ATM to get some money out for Corey's late-night pizza craving. Once there, the trio find that they've been blockaded by a large man in a winter parka who stands outside of the ATM's door menacingly, just waiting for them to make their next move.Initially, this is a cool setup - not very original, but different enough to warrant maybe an episode on a Tales from the Crypt-esque special. And ATM is pretty good about developing its characters, at least at first; David's a driven businessman surrounded by people more successful than he is, while Corey's the kind of douchebag that thinks he's funny even when no one else likes him. The first few scenes of the film find David and Corey talking about women and Christmas parties and losing people's 401(k)'s; Corey might be one of the most annoying characters in the film, but at least he has a personality, and Peck plays it out as though he doesn't realize the rest of the film is unsaveable, even if he puts in some effort.Emily, however, is a vapid excuse for a character. She's thrown into the mix as the sort of cute, girl-next-door type that we're supposed to believe is too shy to even talk to David. These early romance scenes are excruciatingly corny, the sort of thing that makes you want to vomit all over the television in a fit of rage. Real people are hopefully not like this, and if they are, they probably won't find someone just like them.But ATM has a difficult time figuring out what normal people would do in any situation. Corey, being the overly-annoying person that he is, decides he wants to stop at an ATM and get pizza. David denies until he can't take it anymore, then gives in. After they're trapped in the ATM, both try to blame the other for the mess that they're in - but in reality, no one is really at fault here, and anyone using half a brain would realize this.It's not the only strange event, though. Everything about ATM is stretching reality into some blurred distortion that only makes sense because it simply has to or else risk everything. The idea that three people could be goaded into standing in a freezing cold ATM building is somewhat preposterous; against one man, these three people should be able to, at most, scatter enough where even if one gets caught, the other two could come to the rescue. Even if you can get over that hump, though, there are three more bad decisions that the characters make to completely tear you away from the tension.And even then, that's whatever little tension ATM can dish out. It's not a lot. Watching three people stand around near an ATM machine is about as interesting as it sounds - not very. It would help if these scenes were spaced out by backstory or anything furthering the pointlessness of this isolated moment, but instead Brooks forces the viewer to watch as the three argue, bicker, and figuratively sit with their thumbs up their asses.This is also what our killer is doing. His presence is meant to be imposing; he's a large guy with a parka standing out in the freezing cold in a wide stance, a shadowy figure that stands between the victims' freedom. Yet it's all incredibly nonsensical to think of this guy as so

So Pacific Rim is poised and ready to become every fanboy's wet dream movie of the summer (we just cannot wait!), and director Guillermo del Toro had some interesting goodies to talk about in terms of the franchise's future. "We’re been talking about the idea for [the sequel] and working on a pitch,” Del Toro tells Deadline. “And there will be a Mexican Jaeger! Having had two to three years pass from the first Pacific Rim to the second movie, we can also prepare a good video game, continue the graphic novel, and continue the mythology." Legendary CEO Thomas Tull cautioned about getting too premature about sequel talk before the movie comes out. “We’d like to do it, but it’s up to the audience — ultimately we’ll have to see how it does,” Tull said. Look for Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro, in theatres July 12th of 2013. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff star. Related News: Visit our Pacific Rim archive Synopsis From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim. When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse. VISIT THE EVILSHOP @ AMAZON! Got news? Click here to submit it!
