Weird Trailer for Strange Sci-Fi Creature Comedy ‘Extraneous Matter’

"Look how happy it looks!" Red Water Entertainment has unveiled a new official trailer for a very weird and peculiar Japanese indie sci-fi horror film titled Extraneous Matter made by filmmaker Ken'ichi Ugana. This originally premiered back in 2021 at festivals around the world, with appearances at Screamfest and others. Now it's finally getting a VOD debut in the US as Extraneous Matter: Complete Edition, since it's based on a series of short films. "High-gloss trash at its best!" One day, a strange thing comes to a woman who is suffering from being in a sexless relationship with her boyfriend. The "extraneous matter" (strange tentacled creatures), appear out of nowhere in front of two couples who are not getting along, former lovers, and factory workers and affects their thoughts & lives. Starring Kaoru Koide, Shunsuke Tanaka, Nina Sakura, Megumi Haruno, Adone Kudo, and Rino. There's no easy way to describe this, but I like the visualization of this idea (and that they built practical monsters) - similar to The Untamed. Seems kinky and strange and unexpected! The filmmaker says it's ...

Colin Farrell is Back as Oz in Max’s ‘The Penguin’ Series Teaser Trailer

"Can you imagine to be remembered like that?" Max has unveiled the first real teaser trailer for the spin-off series The Penguin, set to debut in the fall this year. This streaming series will follow the transformation of Oswald "Oz" Cobblepot from a disfigured nobody to the noted Gotham gangster, after the events of The Batman movie. Academy Award nominee Colin Farrell returns from The Batman (loved him in it) as Oz, bringing us his full transformation into the infamous DC Comics villain who gives Batman quite a fright. The first episodes are being directed by Craig Zobel (of Compliance, Z for Zachariah, The Hunt) who seems like a perfect choice for this. We featured an early production teaser last year. The full ensemble cast also has Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, Clancy Brown, Michael Zegen, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Rhenzy Feliz, Michael Kelly, Deirdre O'Connell, James Madio, Scott Cohen, Theo Rossi, Carmen Ejogo, and François Chau. Ohhhhhhh this looks SO damn good. What a killer teaser. Perfect setup, the way it all plays out, his dialogue, it's all so dark. This ...
