Alpha Gang
The first photo is out of Cate Blanchett in “Alpha Gang,” the new feature from David and Nathan Zellner that follows a “curious, mild-mannered invasion of aliens posing as a biker gang in 1950s Eastern Europe”.

Léa Seydoux, Lily-Rose Depp, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Riley Keough, Doona Bae and Dave Bautista co-star in the film as the aliens try and work out the basics of human existence while proceeding with their mission.

God of War
Dave Bautista is back in the gym and has showed off some of the muscle gains he’s already made to play the Greek hero Kratos in the upcoming Amazon TV series adaptation of the “God of War” video games.

The actor says that he’s three weeks into his weight training regimen, with two more months to go “to get to where I need to be. Like ridin’ a bike!”. Bautista officially signed on to play Kratos on August 20th with filming slated to recommence on the production in October.
