In her 47-year-long career and counting, she has played several iconic roles and does not intend to stop adding more under her belt. The True Lies actress was very eager to portray the role of Doctor Kureha in the widely acclaimed live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece.

However, in a tragic turn of events, that is no longer the case, and it has sent a temper tantrum in the fan community as they believed the 65-year-old actress to be the only one to play the role.

The recent critical acclaim for HBO’s The Last of Us and the box office success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie have sparked a wave of optimism. Could this be a turning point for video game adaptations?

Pedro Pascal as Joel Miller in The Last of Us

For decades, such adaptations have struggled to capture the essence of beloved games and translate them effectively to the cinematic medium. Despite Hollywood’s persistent efforts to turn popular video game characters into cinematic heroes, the vast majority of these adaptations have fallen flat.

While some triumphed, most of them were unsuccessful. We share 10 of the worst video game adaptations to date.

Richard Friedman, whom genre fans will know as the director of Arrow Video titles Doom Asylum and Scared Stiff, helms this cop drama starring Jason Gedrick – an actor who’s probably most well-known for the Iron Eagle franchise of the 80s but whom also starred in one of the most underrated TV cop shows of the 90s, Ez Streets. Friedman is no stranger to cop dramas either, having helmed episodes of Silk Stalkings and Baywatch Nights alongside a myriad of genre television.

With Acts of Desperation Friedman manages to parlay all his experiences into one film; the ridiculousness of films like Doom Asylum and Phantom of the Mall melded...

Liev Schreiber’s illustrious fixer Ray Donovan may have spent the majority of last season at odds with the Armenian mafia – collecting more than a few physical scars to prove it – but the show’s upcoming season 4 finds our no-nonsense protagonist attempting to reconnect with his estranged daughter.

Set for premiere on June 26, Schreiber’s battle-worn hitman has been through the wringer at this point in Ann Biderman’s acclaimed series, though the first trailer proves more than anything that Ray Donovan has no intent of slowing up anytime soon – even after asking for forgiveness for his unspeakable sins.

Among the cast returning for season 4 are Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan, Dash Mihok, Steven Bauer, Katherine Moennig, while fans of Liev Schreiber’s elusive fixer can look forward to guest appearances from Lisa Bonet, Embeth Davidtz, Ted Levine, Gabriel Mann, Ismael Cruz Cordova, Chris Coppola and Billy Lush.

It's been months and months since we last provided an update on the rock musical I Kissed a Vampire, but word came today that the film has a brand new trailer and is being released at the end of this month. Read on for the details.

Synopsis:

In the vein of High School Musical, a desperate teen tries to save himself and the girl he loves after discovering he's transforming into a vampire. Haunted by bizarre dreams about Goth rocker Trey Sylvania (Drew Seeley) and experiencing a growing lust for blood, Dylan (Lucas Grabeel), a not-so-average teenager, finds himself transforming into a vampire! It all started when he was bitten by a voracious fanged exchange student, and it's a process he is desperate to stop - but how? His demented dentist can't do anything about Dylan's aching teeth and emerging fangs, and the anti-bloodsucking pills he gets from his para-psychologist just give him a rash.

As we march through this busy month of horror the coverage just keeps coming. Check out the exclusive HD video we shot when MoreHorror attended the Big Bear Horro-Fi Film Festival Kick-off Party at the trendy St. Felix bar in Hollywood.

The energy and mayhem of the Hollywood club scene mixed with the excitement of the festival proved too chaotic to get many one on ones with the celebs.

We managed to capture an interview / spirited rant about independent horror films with director Chris Coppola of Dracula's Widow and Eric Forsberg who wrote and directed the Syfy Channel hit Mega Piranha starring '80's pop stars Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.

Stick around after the interview for highlights of the party.

Check back with MoreHorror for more video, pics and event coverage of everything Horror.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 – Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint

The Next Three Days – Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Olivia Wilde, Liam Neeson

Movie of the Week

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

The Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint

The Plot: Harry, Ron and Hermione set out on a treacherous quest to hunt down and destroy the secret to Voldemort’s immortality — the Horcruxes.

The Buzz: I am the least qualified to helm a discussion on the buzz surrounding Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. I’m the least qualified to discuss anything at all about Harry Potter, as I’ve read a mere ten pages of the first book, and only recently caught up with the films. That being said, having watched the first six films in swift succession, immersing myself in Rowling’s world, I...

Shadow Movie PosterFormer Rockstar Frederico Zampaglione's Shadow now has a North American trailer for horror fans. This newest clip, which is quite different from the previous seen (here), shows a couple on a mountain bike adventure in the Alps. Enter in some degenerate hunters and Nazi experiments, then there is a great deal of conflict to be had. This is a film that this reviewer has been looking forward to and apparently this film is available now on IFC Film's Midnight feature (Twitch). However, this cannot be confirmed by the enigma that is also know as the IFC Film website. The trailer is below.

A synopsis for Shadow here:

"A soldier returning from a tour of duty in Iraq goes on a mountain bike adventure in the Alps to forget his battle weary past. In the woods he meets a pretty young stranger who tells him about a local myth concerning a nazi experiment camp.

Ikav Movie PosterWhenever this reviewer sees horror and musicals combined there is only one word, or maybe three - wtf?! I Kissed a Vampire dares to be a little different by blending these two genres and in doing so something magical happens. Teenagers emerge from coffins, girls awkwardly sing in their bedrooms and no neck is safe, as quiet Dylan turns in to an opera singing bloodsucker. Watch the comedy unfold in this first trailer for I Kissed a Vampire, inside.

A partial synopsis for I Kissed a Vampire here:

"Haunted by bizarre dreams about goth rocker Trey Sylvania (Drew Seeley, High School Musical, Another Cinderella Story), with a growing lust for blood, Dylan (Lucas Grabeel, High School Musical, Milk) is not your average teenager—he’s transforming into a vampire! It all started when he was bitten by a voracious fanged exchange student, and it’s a process he...

Image Ent. has acquired all North American rights to Jinga Films' supernatural horror Finale. Described as an homage to Dario Argento's Suspiria, John Michael Elfers' debut feature stars Carolyn Von Hauck as a grieving mother who discovers that her deceased son had been dabbling in black magic. Image has skedded the release for May. On Monday, Jinga announced it had added Federico Zampaglione's psychological horror Shadow to its Berlin market slate. Produced by Massimo Ferrero, the English-language, Italian horror pic stars Jake Muxworthy (Borderland), Karina Testa (Frontiere), Chris Coppola (Friday 13th) and Nuot Arquint (The Passion of Christ). The pic centers on an American Iraq War vet whose romantic vacation in the Italian Alps turns into a Deliverance-style nightmare after a confrontation with local hunters.
