Exclusive: Vertical Entertainment has acquired North American rights to the comedy Supercool, starring Jake Short (This Is the Year), Miles J. Harvey (The Babysitter) and Damon Wayans Jr., with plans to release it in theaters and on digital and VOD on February 11.
The film from director Teppo Airaksinen (Juice) centers on Neil Tobbler (Short), who has gone through most of his life feeling invisible and fantasizing about his long-time crush, Summer (Madison Davenport). When Neil and his best friend Gilbert (Harvey) find out that Summer is throwing a birthday party, Gilbert pressures Neil to ask her for an invitation. The plan fails, and Neil embarrasses himself in front of the girl of his dreams.
Desperate and humiliated, Neil wishes upon the universe to be someone else—a supercool version of himself—the next day waking up and realizing that the universe has granted him his wish.

This one is probably more thriller than horror, but the synopsis does say "mysterious" events occur, and once we got a look at the genre-heavy cast members, we figured we'd share the new teaser trailer for Human Factor that landed in our inbox today and send ol' 2011 out with a bit of social consciousness.

Screenwriter Eric Goren revealed to us earlier today that Jason Mewes has just signed on as one of the leads opposite Mischa Barton in The Science of Cool. The movie tells the story of two science-loving nerds who stumble on a cool formula, turning them into studs. Here's how Goren says Mewes fits: "Jason will be playing the role of Coach Cambria, the obnoxious gym teacher who torments the nerdy leads Neil and Gilbert. We also have Mischa Barton on board to play the leading female role of Jane, who is a very plain and ordinary girl until she ends up as part of the science experiment that Neil and Gilbert concoct." The movie sounds a little bit Weird Science meets The Nutty Professor to me, and that's not necessarily a bad thing. With the popularity of teen sex comedies it's sort of amazing someone hasn't done something like this...

"Expendable" actor Dolph Lundgren is also a "throwaway." The Swedish actor, who is currently filming Sylvester Stallone's all-star pic "The Expendables," will most likely also star in an upcoming thriller.
Writer and producer Eric Goren said that the brawny actor is likely to be involved in "The Throwaways" on and off camera.
Goren told Moviehole.net, "There is a good possibility the Dolph will direct and act in this project. I decided that Dolph would be a great fit because 'The Throwaways' involves quite a lot of action and Dolph has directed a number of action adventure movies before."
"I also feel that Dolph has a huge fan base in European and Asian markets which would be key demographics for 'The Throwaways.'"...
