Based on Bram Stoker’s Dracula as well as an Irish legend, the upcoming vampire movie Feed has begun production ahead of the American Film Market next week, Deadline reports.

From director Marco van Belle (Mercy), the upcoming vampire movie Feed is being shot in Ireland. Fitting, given that the film is inspired by the Irish myth of the Dearg Due.

According to Wikipedia (linked above), “Dearg-due, an Irish name meaning ‘red bloodsucker,’ is a female demon that seduces men and then drains them of their blood.”

“The film follows a group of twenty something social media influencers who spend a weekend at a remote contemporary house in an Irish forest, and must fight for their lives when they awaken the world’s original vampire from her slumber.”

Grace Collender (Fréwaka) stars alongside Clinton Liberty, Daisy Jelley, Niamh Hogan, Rhys Mannion and Oskar Smith.

Writer and director Van Belle previously wrote sci-fi Mercy starring Chris Pratt, Rebecca Ferguson, Annabelle Wallis, which is currently in post-production.

“With people using social media to make their mark and get rich quick, I’m fascinated to explore the fragility of modern influencer culture by putting our characters against a ruthless creature that has the true power of influence,” said the director

The Young and the Restless alum Hunter King is starring in the new Hallmark Kansas City Chiefs Christmas movie.

This summer, the Hallmark Channel revealed they were teaming up with the Kansas City Chiefs to bring fans a Christmas movie like never before.

On the same day the Kansas City Chiefs helped kick off the new NFL season; Hallmark gave fans a first look and premiere date for the upcoming flick with Hunter and Tyler Hynes.

A Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story will premiere on Saturday, November 30, at 8/7c on Hallmark, which happens to be Thanksgiving weekend.

The movie will be part of Hallmark’s 15th annual Countdown to Christmas.

Let’s take a look at what we know about the holiday flick.

What is Y&r alum Hunter King’s Hallmark movie A Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story?

The Young and the Restless fans will forever think...

Although Hunter King is an award-winning actress known for her roles in Hallmark movies, and as Summer Newman on Young And The Restless. However, she always had a dream career.

Why was filming Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story a way that she could fulfill this dream?

Recently, Hunter King spoke to First For Women about her upcoming Christmas movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story. This is more than a holiday movie for her. That is because she had a surprising childhood dream to be a quarterback.

I grew up wanting to be a quarterback – so bad that I would watch Peyton Manning videos on how to throw a football.

She continued to share her personal obsession with football.

I was obsessed! I can’t say I too for a specific team.

Twisters has been tearing up the box office. Propelled by its charismatic leads, Twisters is the kind of old-school blockbuster that hasn’t been seen since, well, 1996, when the original Twister came out. The standalone sequel avoids feeling too nostalgic in part due to its original soundtrack, comprising 29 songs by contemporary country hitmakers like Jelly Roll, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, and Tyler Childers.

The soundtrack album got a physical release last week,...

“Twisters” director Lee Isaac Chung wanted to capture the spirit and culture of storm trackers, whose profession requires a great deal of time in cars and trucks.

“Everybody I talked to in Oklahoma who chases, music is such an integral part of it,” said Chung when he was a recent guest on IndieWire’s Toolkit podcast. “Anytime I’d ask, ‘What’s on your playlist?’ you’d see them break into a smile, and everybody has a different music choice.”

In the Chung household, there is a rule: Whoever is driving picks the music. On “Twisters,” director Chung drove the proverbial train, and the country music lover got to build his dream soundtrack. For a film that takes part mostly on dirt roads in rural areas of Oklahoma, with characters driving into storms when most sane people are headed in the other direction, an outlaw country music sound also made sense.
