Magnolia Pictures is amping up a little bit on print promo materials for it's October 29th release of 'Monsters'. Check out the alternate 'Monsters' promo poster below.

About the Movie:

Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and grow. In an effort to stem the destruction that resulted, half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the massive creatures... Our story begins when a jaded US journalist (McNairy) begrudgingly agrees to find his boss’ daughter, a shaken American tourist (Able) and escort her through the infected zone to the safety of the US border.

Linkin Park's new single 'The Catalyst' is charting well and anticipation continues to grow as the bands new album drops later this month.

Unfortunately as far as the single goes, well, it sounds overproduced and lacks the kind of balls their earlier releases had (boo....where's the heavy guitars?) Fortunately Linkin Park has a huge following and will probably sell a ton of records.

If that's not enough, fans can see lead singer Chester Bennington act in a roll from the upcoming Lionsgate film 'Saw 3D'. You can check out the image below courtesy of MTV.com and Lionsgate.

Hatchet II will release uncut through the AMC theater system on October 1st. Adam Green's previous attempt at releasing the bloody HATCHET installment was thwarted by the MPAA when it was slapped with an NC-17 rating. In turn the film was released straight to DVD.

This time however, Hatchet 2 has found its way to an unrated theatrical release. People should definitely check this one out in the theater to show the critics that horror is an unstoppable force that people want to see in the movie theaters.

Be sure to check out the official Hatchet 2 website that just launched.

From the Press Release:

BEVERLY HILLS, CA – The Disappearance of Alice Creed, a tense and twisty British thriller, comes out on Blu-ray™ and DVD November 23rd, from Anchor Bay Entertainment. Described as a “brutally efficient thriller” by Mike Hale of the New York Times, the film draws the viewer into a daring kidnapping scheme that complicates the balance of power between captor and victim with fast-paced action, smart dialogue, and sharp performances by an elite and award-winning British cast.

This is the debut feature from writer-director J Blakeson, and has already been called a “genuine mind-blower of a movie [and] has more real narrative surprises up its sleeve than any American caper film since The Usual Suspects” by Marc Savlov of the Austin Chronicle.

About the Film:

On a suburban street, two masked men seize a young woman. They bind and gag her and take her to an abandoned, soundproofed apartment. She is Alice Creed (Gemma Arterton), daughter of a millionaire. Her kidnappers, the coldly efficient Vic (Eddie Marsan) and his younger accomplice Danny (Martin Compston), have worked out a meticulous plan. But Alice is not going to play the perfect victim – she isn’t about to let her captors use her as capital without a fight. Alice enters into a battle of wills which strains the already fractious relationship between the two men. As the deadline for the exchange draws nearer, all three are brought close to the breaking point, with Vic and Danny’s foolproof plan descending into a desperate struggle for survival. In a tense power-play of greed, duplicity, and survival we discover that sometimes disappearances can be deceptive, and even the most meticulous plans can go awry if you don’t choose your victim wisely.
