Hammer Films Continuing The Tradition Of Awesome British Horror With THE QUIET ONES Trailer

Teaser Trailer For Disaster/Swords And Sandals Epic POMPEII Starring Kit Harington And Emily Browning

Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje Joins POMPEII

Variety reports that actor Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Thor The Dark World, Lost) has joined the growing cast of Pompeii. It stars Kit Harington (Game of Thrones), Emily Browning, Jared Harris (Sherlock Holmes 2, Ben Button), Kiefer Sutherland (Phone Booth, Lost Boys, Flatliners) Carrie-Anne Moss (Memento, Matrix) and Joe Pingue. Like Harington, Adewale will play an enslaved gladiator.

Kiefer Sutherland Will Be The Villain Of POMPEII

THR reports that actor Kiefer Sutherland (Flatliners, Young Guns 1-2) has landed the villain role in Paul W.S. Anderson's Pompeii. While Sutherland is known for playing heroes has taking the avenue of villain a couple times including with The Lost Boys and Phone Booth. Sutherland will play a nasty Roman senator that enslaves Kit Harington's village and forces his love (Emily Browning) to marry him.

Emily Browning And Jared Harris Join Kit Harington In POMPEII

THR reports that Emily Browning (Sucker Punch) and Jared Harris (Benjamin Button, Mad Men, Lincoln. Sherlock Holmes 2) have joined the cast of Paul W.S. Anderson's (Three Musketeers) Pompeii which has Game of Thrones star Kit Harington (Seventh Son, Silent Hill 2) in the lead. You might remember Jared had a supporting role in Resident Evil 2 which could be how Anderson wrangled him into this project. Let's just hope the film ends up a little more coherent than his Resident Evil movies since it does seem to have an interesting setting and potential to be an entertaining flick.

Pompeii is set in 79 A.D. and follows Milo (Kit Harington), a slave-turned-invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Flavia (Emily Browning), a wealthy merchant's daughter who unwillingly has been betrothed to a corrupt Roman general. Jared Harris will play Flavia's father Lucretius.

Sam Clafin Joins Hammer Films' 'THE QUIET ONES'

Deadline reports that a second actor has joined the cast of The Quiet Ones which is another period set ghost-tale from Hammer Films. Sam Clafin best known for his role in Pirates of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides and the upcoming Snow White And The Huntsman will play a student of Jared Harris' (Sherlock Holmes 2, Ben Button, Mad Men) character. The studio ended up with rave reviews for last year's The Woman In Black which starred Daniel Radcliffe becoming one of the most successful British films. Hopefully this brings revives the legacy of one of the greatest horror studios of all-time back to it's former glory.


"Set in the 1970s, this horrific tale pulls its inspiration from a real case of paranormal studies. It was 1974 when Professor Joseph Coupland (Harris), an unconventional but charismatic figure on campus, lured a batch of students to a remote location to implement a peculiar experiment to discover if it is possible to manifest negative human energy and channel it into creating a poltergeist."
