George Romeroinvented the zombie movie playbook. With bonafide classics likeNight of the Living DeadandDawn of the Dead, he codified and solidified just about everything we know and love about the silver-screen walking dead. But if you’re a zombie movie fan, you may’t just watch the classics over and over. Hell, even a zombie would get tired of the same human entrails every day (well, maybe not). Are you ready for some deeper cuts?...
The image above is fromThe Boys, Amazon’s new and upcoming adaptation ofGarth EnnisandDarick Robertson’s graphic novel, but it is not the title team themselves. Instead, this is a shot of The 7, your superhero stand-ins that allow the writers to take some liberties with comic book tropes and flawed heroes. “The Boys”, on the other hand, are the team of blue-collar vigilantes who take down corrupt superheroes with extreme prejudice. The first trailer for the new Amazon series teases some of the insane action to come, even if it’s more for the familiar fans than it is for newcomers....

It’s been well over three years since we saw the last film to be directed byJohn Hillcoat, the immensely talented Australian filmmaker behind the bracingly brutal neo-westernThe Proposition, as well as the not-half-bad adaptation ofCorman McCarthy’s belovedThe Road. When last we left Hillcoat, he directed theTom Hardy-fronted prohibition dramaLawless, which also starredJason Clarke,Jessica Chastain, andShia LaBeouf, from a screenplay by the great singer/songwriterNick Cave. Lawlesswas a lot more pretty and docile than one would have hoped, especially considering the volatile subject material, but this does not seem to be the case with Hillcoat’s upcoming American feature,Triple 9, about the aftermath of a major bank robbery that leads to a street war between cops and robbers....
