Cassie Scerbo took on flying flesh-eating sharks (I really wanted to type fish, but couldn’t) in Syfy’s Sharknado and now the network says she’ll be battling “sea vampires” in Beast of the Bering Sea. No, this isn’t a joke nor is it an early April Fool’s Day prank.

Beast of the Bering Sea will debut on November 9, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT and will co-star Jonathan Lipnicki and Kevin Dobson. According to Syfy, Beast of the Bering Sea has Scerbo and Lipnicki playing “a sister and brother team prospecting for gold, who accidentally disturb a colony of blood-sucking amphibious predators (sea vampires) in an underwater cave.”

Syfy also revealed the details on Stonados airing on November 23rd at 9pm and starring Paul Johanssen, William B Davis, and Thea Gill. Stonados is…wait for it…are you ready?…. “a disaster movie about a freak weather system which hurls deadly boulders.”

‘Endless Love’ Has an Endless Trailer

Endless Love Movie Trailer

Yes, that’s an exaggeration, but it does seem that be the time the two-minute trailer for the new Endless Love is over, we’ve been treated to pretty much the entire film. And for those of you who missed it, the original Endless Love was released way back in 1981 and starred Brooke Shields and Martin Hewitt as 15 and 17-year-olds who fall in love and are kept apart by the girl’s parents. The new version finds 24-year-old Gabriella Wilde and 23-year-old Alex Pettyfer taking over the lead roles (and it appears the characters in the remake have been aged up).

Directed by Shana Feste (Country Strong), Endless Love arrives in theaters on February 14, 2014.

An interesting side note: Gabriella Wilde also has a starring role in another remake of a popular movie featuring high school kids, Carrie.

The Plot: Endless Love stars Alex Pettyfer (Magic Mike) and Gabriella Wilde (The Three Musketeers) in the story of a privileged girl and a charismatic boy whose instant desire sparks a love affair made only more reckless by parents trying to keep them apart.

First Look: ‘Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones’ Trailer

Guess what? There’s another Paranormal Activity movie coming to theaters in 2014, however, it’s coming in January rather than October. All four previous Paranormal Activity films opened near Halloween, but Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones is hoping people want to be spooked after the year-end holidays instead – as if looking at your credit card bills isn’t enough to make you scream.

This fifth film is also the first of the batch not to be designated with a number in its title. Plus, the trailer shows off a completely different setting for the paranormal activities, probably because the previous four movies have killed off all the family members at this point.

The studio is once again offering select cities advance screenings. Here’s the scoop:

– Upload a photo of paranormal activity in your city to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram tagging your city and #TheMarkedOnes for a chance to see The Marked Ones first.

AMC will be bringing back Small Town Security for a third season as just announced by the network’s EVP Original Programming, Production and Digital Content Joel Stillerman. The network also confirmed they’re moving forward on the unscripted series King of Arms from producers Dan Ilani, Matt Renner and Ethan Prochnik. King of Arms is set in the world of competitive arm wrestling, which apparently is extremely popular, and will follow members from five arm wrestling clubs. Season one will be comprised of ten one-hour episodes set to air early next year.
 
“King of Arms, Small Town Security and Freakshow all take viewers inside worlds most have never seen, populated by unique and unforgettable characters,” said Joel Stillerman, EVP Original Programming, Production and Digital Content. “We are looking forward to bringing these new and returning series to AMC viewers and are very excited to be working with Undertow Films on our new unscripted original, King of Arms.”
 
King of Arms Details:
 
King of Arms focuses on arm wrestling clubs across America, embedding with teams in Baton Rouge, New York City, Erie, Sacramento and Kansas City. Each episode culminates with high-stakes mano-a-mano combat where brute strength is often defeated by technique, strategy and heart.
 
Small Town Security Details:
 
Small Town Security is the sometimes hilarious, sometimes poignant, and just plain unusual series that explores a small, family-run security and private investigation company in Ringgold, Georgia called JJK Security. Executive Produced by Ken Druckerman and Banks Tarver of Left/Right Films (This American Life, Mob Wives), the show captures the day-to-day of the business, but it’s really about the curiously entertaining and oddly compelling characters that inhabit this world.

Kerry Washington will be making her Saturday Night Live hosting debut on November 2, 2013. Washington, the star of the addictive series Scandal, will host while Eminem will be back for his sixth time on stage as musical guest. Eminem’s new album (The Marshall Mathers LP 2) drops on November 5th.

And before Washington’s hosting gig comes the debut of Edward Norton as SNL host. Norton will host the October 26th episode (expect some Halloween-themed skits). Joining him will be Janelle Monae, who’s also making her SNL debut on that episode.

‘Game of Thrones’ is Actually a Comedy Set at a Medieval Theme Park

“Are you a fan of the Pikachu?” Thanks to the folks at Bad Lip Reading, Game of Thrones has just become a lot more lighthearted and funny. And while this isn’t the Bad Lip Reading team’s best effort (that honor goes to their NFL video), the “Medieval Land Fun-Time World” take on Game of Thrones is worthy of six minutes of your time.

“Darth Vader is bad, and his assistant is a mouse.” Just had to type that quote for the first and only time of my life.
