Update: She-Rex

Low-budget genre auteur Brett Kelly's prehysterical dino-comedy She-Rex has just wrapped and can be downloaded from The Content Bay for viewing on your PC/Mac. It will be released to DVD very shortly (27 November).

Synopsis:

Dan and Stan are the world's greatest adventurers -- at least in their own minds! When the two morons are sent to a lost island to rescue a wealthy pair of treasure hunters, chaos ensues. The adventurers encounter a tribe of sexy jungle girls who worship a flesh-eating T-Rex! She-Rex is a tribute to the classic comedy of yesteryear.

Update on Alien Grey: Zone-X

A restricted research area designated Zone-X -- reminiscent of the legendary Area 51 perhaps -- spawns aliens, alien-reengineered dinosaurs and invasive conspiracies. This is the premise of the independent scifi flick Alien Grey: Zone-X (US; dir. Thomas R. Dickens), which Undead Backbrain reported on a while back.

Director Dickens has dropped by to supply us with a new snapshot of one of the alien greys, just to keep things rolling.

Dickens reports:

The only thing new on AGZ-X is that I am continuing forward with the "Reptile Attack" section.  It is still in post-production.  It is looking great, but still a few shots to do.  The above is an image of an Orion Grey in the film, at the end of the Reptile Attack Sequence.  It looks a little goofy but is based on actual sightings.

Part of the film (65 minutes of an anticipated 120 minutes) has screened at the New York International Film and Video Festival,  where it gained awards for Best Actor, Best SFX and Best Film.

Here's the director being interviewed:

Update: Galactic Raiders

We've previously reported on Larry Arpin's exciting independent sci-fi film, Galactic Raiders, but now Kaiju Search-Robot Avery has received another update from the director.

Arpin:

I've attached these pics of what I am working on and the room I am working in. On the computer screen you can see a scene of the main character that I am adding lasers to as he is shooting the creature I am building. This is the second time I've had to build this creature as I had a mishap with the mold. I recorded out about 5 minutes of effects just recently. This included scenes from reels 1, 2, & the last reel. I've also blocked out one of the opening sequences containing many creatures.

Nice.

New: Land of the Lost

A teaser poster for an upcoming big-screen dino epic has been released. In the current tradition of doing nothing new, this film is based on the old TV series, Land of the Lost. Click on the image below to look right down the inevitable T-Rex's gullet.

Land of the Lost (US-2009; dir. Brad Silberling), starring Will Ferrell as Park Ranger Rick Marshall. There are a couple of kids, lots of dinosaurs and other creatures, and the bad sentient lizard folk, the Sleestaks.

A forest ranger along with his two children inadvertently stumble into a mysterious land populated by dinosaurs and other creatures, including the mysterious and dangerous race of Sleestak.

Here is what the Sleestaks look like in the new film:

It's due to open on 5 June 2009 in the US.
