Only God Forgives There is a surprisingly lack of blood smearing in the first trailer for Nicholas Winding Refn’s Only God Forgives.

No release date has been set. The Great Gatsby Directed by Baz Luhrmann from a script by himself and Craig Pearce, based on the acclaimed novel written by F. Scott Fitzgerld of the same name.

Carrie Chloe Grace Moretz stars in this remake of the Brian De Palma classic, which was an adaptation of the Steven King classic, about a high school girl named Carrie who is the target of pranks, bullying, and other vile high school cruelty. She believes that she has been asked to the prom by the most popular boy in school. Little does she know, that she will be the target of the most henious act any high school has ever seen.
