The one you might be most interested in is Wolvesbayne, which I first told you about back in “>July. Jeremy London (“Party of Five”) stars as a newly transformed werewolf recruited by a team of vampire hunters to stop a Nazi vampire cult led Yancy Butler (“Witchblade”) and Marc Dacascos (Brotherhood of the Wolf).
Wolfsbayne was directed by Griff Furst (I Am Omega, 100 Million BC) from a script by Leigh Scott (Transmorphers, Bram Stoker’s Dracula’s Curse). Dig the trailer below:
The next isn’t at all horror related unless you take into account the horror of the potential end of life as we know. Besides, I inadvertently named the movie. If you listened to the “Foyth of July” edition of the “>Foycast, then you’ve already heard to explanation as to how I provided the title for Quantum Apocalypse.
The science fiction disaster film is described as “a high action science fiction thriller in which a group of talented but rebellious ‘rock-star scientists’ find themselves in a race against time to save Earth when a comet makes an unexpected turn towards our blue planet where all life may cease to exist within days if our small town heroes fail to find a solution.”
Also directed by Griff Furst from a script by Leigh Scott, Quantum Apocalypse stars “Farscape”‘s Gigi Edgely and “Babylon 5″‘s Peter Jurasik. The trailer for that one is here:
Last but certainly not least is Chrome Angels, a high octane “rednecks vs. robots” thriller about an all-female biker gang led by Clueless‘ Stacy Dash that arrives in a strange Stepford-ish town populated by robots under the command of a demented genius played by journeyman actor Paul LeMat, leading to a confrontation that pairs the hard-as-nails biker chicks with local rednecks to battle the bots.
Chrome Angels was written and directed by Leigh Scott and I must say looks quite fun in an Eighties drive-in sort of way. See for yourself!
I know both Wolvesbayne and Quantum Apocalypse have been picked up by Nu Image for future Sci-Fi Channel premieres; I think Chrome Angels has, too, but I’m not positive. I think once you have a look at these trailers, you’ll be able to tell they seem more like big screen movies with smaller budgets than most Sci-Fi Channel, Asylum, and other similar cinematic offerings. As Joe Bob Briggs would say, “Check ’em out!”
