First Batch of Hi-Res Images From ‘The Fourth Kind’
This afternoon Bloody Disgusting was supplied with the first major batch of hi-res stills from Universal Pictures’ The Fourth Kind, a fact-based thriller involving an ongoing unsolved mystery in Alaska where one town has seen an extraordinary number of unexplained disappearances during the past 40 years and there are accusations of a federal cover up not unlike the claims directed at the circumstances surrounding the infamous Area 51. Milla Jovovich toplines the film arriving in theaters November 6th.

‘Backrooms’ – Behind the Scenes Photos Reveal the ‘Alien Romulus’ Actor Who Played Pirate Clark
Dubbed “Pirate Clark,” the monstrous threat in Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is sure to be one of the most memorable new movie monsters on screen this year, perhaps only behind Freaky Nikki from Obsession. But was that a computer generated creation? An animatronic?
Nope. Pirate Clark, which is of course the monstrous Backrooms-generated “Still Life” version of Chiwetel Ejiofor’s character Clark, was played by a real actor in Backrooms!
It was former basketball player Robert Bobroczkyi who played the impossibly tall Pirate Clark in Backrooms, and the effect was pulled off with little more than a costume and a mask.
As Luiz H.C. noted in an article here on Bloody Disgusting last month, “Though there was some obvious CGI involved in making the character’s peg-leg and nightmarish face more believable, Robert Bobroczkyi’s monstrous performance and his natural frame helped to make that final chase sequence a clear highlight among this year’s genre offerings.”
The Romanian–Hungarian actor stands a towering 7-foot, 7″ tall, and if Pirate Clark reminded you of the Offspring from Alien Romulus, that’s because Bobroczkyi played both roles!
At this time, Alien Romulus and Backrooms are the only two movies on Bobroczkyi’s resume, but like Javier Botet before him, we can be pretty sure he’ll be playing unique horror movie characters for many years to come. You just never know where he might pop up next…
Backrooms is now available on a Digital with the Blu-ray up for pre-order now.
