I’m calling it now folks, prehistoric beasties and near-humans are the next big money-making gimmick in entertainment. After all, anything dating from the Cretaceous era seems to be popular now, and applying modern day thinking to some ancient lifestyles may not be a bad thing at all.

Jason Statham is back to once again violently rearrange people’s internal organs with his hands and feet.

Him turning also turning into a pretty capable filmmaker surely didn’t hurt either. Now for his next project, in which he’ll be donning the caps of director, writer and star, Clooney is assembling a rather impressive …
A spooky European village. Properly scary castle mania. Vampires. Werewolves!
