Godzilla Taiwan Poster

I enjoy this Taiwanese Godzilla poster far too much

Godzilla Taiwan Poster

And so does everyone in Taiwan, as it’s become an internet thing, from people taking photos by the poster to people drawing their own versions! It’s social media buzz done right, and it’s Godzilla! Please note that Godzilla is flashing the peace sign. Because he’s Godzilla, and can do that.

Battle of the tanks Sands and soldiers

Roll in for Saints and Soldiers: Battle Of The Tanks!

This is the third Saints and Soldiers movie – 2003’s Saints and Soldiers and 2012’s Saints and Soldiers: Airborne Creed have preceded it. This entry has gone through a few titles, from Saints and Soldiers: The Void to just Battle of the Tanks, finally compromising with Saints and Soldiers: Battle Of The Tanks. The original Saints and Soldiers won several awards and did a good job of being a low-budget war movie, the worst criticisms I read were people either upset the solders weren’t swearing or making snide remarks about the film being a Mormon production. I don’t feel film needs to be full of swears or devoid of Mormons, so those criticism reflect more on the reviewers than the film.

Ryan Little returns to writing and directing duties. Adam Gregory is the highest credited star. A trailer exists on the Koan site, but does not appear to be embeddable.

Battle of the Tanks takes place in Germany during the last week of WW II. Two American tanks are caught in a vicious battle against three Panzers crewed by young fanatical German soldiers, who will fight to the death.

Though this isn’t the type of film I’d normally be seeking out, it’s also the type of film I wouldn’t not watch. It’s a cool discovery made by pilfering through the portfolio of Dog & Pony Creative. And, hey, if I get a fun little war movie out of checking out random links, more power to me, the random link checker guy!

Bigfoot Wars

Call in a preemptive strike on the Bigfoot Wars!

We wrote about Bigfoot Wars in our The 113 Must See Flicks From the American Film Market 2013 article, but now it’s time for a spotlight edition! Bigfoots battle man and try to have sex with hot babes. Which means this could go anywhere from “disturbing subtext” to “Bigfoot erotica” and everywhere in between.

Based on the bestselling book series by Eric S. Brown, this prequel is a terrifying introduction to the classic man versus mythical beast series set in the small town of Boggy Creek. Starring C. Thomas Howell (Red Dawn, E.T.) and Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club, St. Elmo’s Fire), this horror/thriller version of the classic Bigfoot tale follows a group of teens that are thrust into a nightmare beyond their wildest imaginations when the creatures begin to try and mate with the girls and kill off the guys – and no one believes them, except for Zeke Jesterson (Howell) and Sheriff Jim Taylor (Holt Boggs, Hostage), whose daughter has been kidnapped by the savage beasts. From the horrifying opening scene to the intense conclusion, no one is safe from Bigfoot.

Thanks to stumbling across a gallery of possible DVD titles at Dog & Pony Creative, it’s time to remind the world about Bigfoot Wars. Because, who else will? Okay, a lot of people. But also us at TarsTarkas.NET!

Don’t fret, there is an official Facebook page, which has even more poster images, and the unfortunate news the film has been delayed for a bit. Origin Releasing says a trailer is supposed to drop soon, and we’ll keep you posted

The Wendigo

The Wendigo howls…

Yes, yes, saying The Wendigo “howls” isn’t original, but keep with me, I’m dealing with only a tiny bit of information to work with here! Trilight is taking a break from the talking dog pictures to also make a horror film of SyFy-ish proportions. Hopefully SyFy will get off their high horse and be showing more original films by then and The Wendigo will pop up and be cool.

All we know so far is the brief plot synopsis about a road trip gone sour, and the information that Robin Dunne is also writing the script. Until we get more information, The Wendigo will be a wait and see thing. But it could be interesting.

Synopsis: After RICKY DURHAM wins a $2 million jackpot on the lotto max he decides to take his girlfriend, his sister, and two buddies on the road trip of a lifetime. After only a few days they find themselves in turmoil not only internally amongst themselves, but also with an anomaly that may have never been seen before…

Bark Ranger

Bark Ranger – Talking dog battles creeps!

Once again, a talking dog will save the day and defeat thieves with Bark Ranger! Yes, I’ve found yet another “talking dog home alone” film, except it takes place in the woods. Which is home to animals, thus home alone! Now, if you own a talking dog, why are you searching for gold mines instead of minting gold with YouTube superstardom? Freaking kids…

Anyway, we got a talking dog, we got bumbling thieves, we got thieves in a truck trying to run down kids and a dog. It’s got something for everyone! Bark Ranger is going to be directed by Geoff Anderson, who directed Vampire Dog and Step Dogs, and written by Jason Delaney, who I can’t find any prior credits for.

Hopefully the dog wears the hat in the film. Maybe he even battles with a bear over picnic baskets! Then I hope Bark Ranger gives an impassioned speech about preserving the nation’s natural wonders that brings tears to the eyes of the bumbling thieves.

Bumbling thieves stranded in the wilderness when their getaway van craps out, are discovered by a pair of goldmine seeking kids and their rambunctious talking Golden Retriever. The thieves try and snatch the kids, but are fended off by the heroic dog. The kids lead the thieves into the gold mine and escape through a narrow vent shaft, and then try and make their escape by bike. But the thieves are soon after them in their truck and a crazy chase ensues. But the kids have a plan which leads to an epic showdown.

Archie Robodog

Archie: Robodog – talking robot dog shenanigans!

Part dog. Part machine. Totally awesome. This is the tag line for Archie: Robodog, which gives the world what it wants, more robot dog movies! The dog is not only a robot, but it talks, and helps fight against capitalist oppressors who want to destroy small town America and turn it into the latest franchise location. Well, Burgertropolis, it’s time you got Robodogged!

Archie: Robodog is written by Robin Dunne, who you may recall starred in Cruel Intentions 2, Species III, American Psycho II: All American Girl, The Skulls II, Au Pair II, Beyond Sherwood Forest , Scarecrow, and Space Milkshake. Well, he also writes, and has written the four entries in the Roxy Hunter series: Roxy Hunter and the Mystery of the Moody Ghost, Roxy Hunter and the Myth of the Mermaid, Roxy Hunter and the Secret of the Shaman, and Roxy Hunter and the Horrific Halloween.

Robot dog films are becoming one of the next big things in dog movie plots, along with the talking dogs home alone genre. It is a great time to be a fan of robot dogs or mouthy dogs that square off against evil in all its forms.

ISABEL SULLIVAN (15) has just moved to a small town to live with her uncle PAUL who is the town’s mayor. Isabel has recently lost her parents in a car accident. Feeling very alone and friendless, Isabel befriends a stray robot dog named ARCHIE. Though he looks like a normal dog, he is anything but. He can talk. He can run at blinding speed. He’s got super strength and x-ray vision.

Isabel and Archie become fast friends. She teaches him how to be a normal dog while he helps her to fit in with the cool kid clique. Most of all, Isabel can confide in Archie about what happened to her parents. Archie can relate. He’s never had a family – until now.

As the summer progresses, things start to get tricky. Paul is up for re-election and finds himself running against VERONICA TAYLOR who happens to be in cahoots with BURGERTROPOLIS – a national fast food franchise that has been trying to buy Paul out for years. What’s worse, an evil man named HUGH JABLONSKI shows up in town claiming to be Archie’s rightful owner…
