Full Spanish Trailer For ‘The Skin I Live In’ Brings The Weirdness
The more I see from The Skin I Live In, the more I want to sit down and soak in all the weird wonders of Pedro Almodóvar’s tale of revenge. The full Spanish trailer recently went live and, even if you don’t understand the language at all, the two minutes really give you a better sense of what’s going than all the teasers so far. I don’t think I’m going to get the Lynchian wonkiness that I wanted from it, but I’m sure it’ll still be one of the stranger things we see this year.
The film was just confirmed for the Toronto International Film Festival in September (keeping my fingers crossed for Fantastic Fest), and will be released stateside by Sony on October 14. Check out the new trailer inside.

Christopher Landon to Helm Feature Adaptation of Grady Hendrix’s ‘The Final Girl Support Group’
A new feature adaptation of author Grady Hendrix‘s slasher book The Final Girl Support Group is now on the way from Paramount Pictures, and Deadline reports that it’s found its director in Christopher Landon (Drop, Happy Death Day).
The two previously collaborated on My Best Friend’s Exorcism.
In The Final Girl Support Group, “Lynette is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.”
“But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.”
I wrote in my novel review for BD, “Hendrix puts his characters through the absolute wringer. It’s a bloody, vicious voyage for the flawed heroine, both physically and emotionally. In terms of action and horror, Support Group delivers breakneck pacing and thrills.”
Five years ago, Andy Muschietti & Barbara Muschietti (Mama, It, It Chapter Two) were attached to produce a planned series adaptation for HBO Max alongside Charlize Theron. While Theron is no longer producing, the Muschiettis remain on board under their Double Dream label.
Paramount Pictures is also developing Hendrix’s sci-fi novella, BadAsstronauts.
