Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark Trailer Drops

By Ryan Fleming August 3, 2010

Guillermo del Toro may have vacated the director’s chair of The Hobbit, but the director and producer is anything but bored. Next up for del Toro is the release of the horror film Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, of which he is producing and co-writing.

Based on an ABC made-for-television movie from 1973, Guy Pearce (Momento, LA Confidential) stars as the father, and Katie Holmes (Batman Begins, Tom Cruise’s wife) is his girlfriend. Pearce’s daughter (played by Letter’s to God’s Bailee Madison) comes to stay with the couple after they inherit and old mansion, and she soon discovers creatures living in the house. At first she thinks they are friendly, but she soon realizes how wrong she is.

The movie is directed by del Tor’s protégé, Troy Nixey, and will hit theaters January 21, 2011.

Warning: This trailer may not be suitable for all ages.

Transformers One trailer turns an origin story into a buddy comedy

The main heroes in Transformers One.

The Transformers animated series from 1984 first established an origin story for Optimus Prime and Megatron on their home world of Cybertron. But as originally envisioned, Megatron, the future leader of the evil Decepticons, was only a false friend to Orion Pax, who would go on to become the Autobots' leader, Optimus Prime. Subsequent incarnations in other media have reconfigured that relationship, but the upcoming animated movie, Transformers One, is the first to take the future rivals and pair them up in a buddy action comedy.

Don’t let these 3 hidden April 2024 streaming TV shows fly under your radar

A man pets his dog in the car in Sugar.

Every month, all the top streaming services release new shows. Some of these shows get a lot of attention with plenty of promotion leading up to their release, like Amazon Prime Video's Fallout. Others quietly premiere without much fanfare, some of which get more attention once people start to watch and chatter begins to form. But when great shows fade into the background of more high-profile titles, subscribers may potentially miss out on quality content.

These three hidden-gem streaming TV shows for April fall into both these categories. You might have heard of one or more of them but are waiting to see if they’re worth watching. We can assure you that all three of these shows are ones you don’t want to miss.
