This spring, action hits an all-new peak as your favorite dinosaur hunters head to Mt. Everest for
another prehistoric showdown in "Cliff Beasts 6: The Battle for Everest - Memories of a Requiem."
This time, the team will have to scale even greater heights and brave the frigid Himalayan
elements to reach the precipice of danger. But this time, not even the skies are safe.
With the full "Cliff Beasts" cast back in action, along with some few fresh new
faces in front of and behind the camera, the highly anticipated sixth installment
to the epic film series is bound to be the biggest action-adventure movie of all time.
"Cliff Beasts 6, which is six times as good as Cliff Beasts 1.
I literally mean that. It's not just like a catchphrase."
Before "Cliff Beasts 6" arrives on Friday, April 1, let's take a look back at everything you need
to remember about the first five films in the long-running "Cliff Beasts" saga.
After the turn of the new millennium,
the world of "Cliff Beasts" first came to life. In the original film, the cliff beasts
are deadly dinos that cling to the sides of steep cliffs and feast on human flesh.
It's up to a ragtag group of brave scientists and adventurers to stop them all in their tracks.
Leading this band of beast-battling heroes is Dr. Hal Packard, who’s portrayed by the
incomparably talented and intelligent Dustin Mulray throughout the series.
Joining him for this deadly world-saving adventure is the soft-spoken Southern
belle and fan favorite Dolly, portrayed by the legend herself, Lauren Van Chance.
"It's fun to fight dinosaurs, especially when you know you're never going to lose."
Meanwhile, Carol Cobb also stars as the unconquerable Dr. Lacey Nightingale.
The first film also introduces audiences to the ultimate action hero in the fearlessly
stunt-savvy Sean Knox as Colt. Rounding out the beast slayers is the comedic relief character,
Gerard, who’s portrayed by the hilarious Howie Frangopoulous.
"Gerard was gonna go on an incredible, emotional journey. Up,
down. Like who's that really skinny brother who was in Memento?
"Guy Pearce?"
"Him."
The second film in the franchise, 2010’s "Cliff Beasts: Re-Extinction," sees our five heroes
grappling with a new and even scarier species of beasts that swarm a major metropolitan area.
Then, 2013's "Cliff Beasts 3: Oceana," plunged audiences into the watery unknown
to tangle with a new breed of sea cliff beasts who make the Loch Ness Monster look like a tadpole.
Another wave of cliff beasts crashes onto a busy population center in 2016’s "Cliff Beasts 4:
Beijing Beasts," an entry that proved yet again
that the films are about so much more than slaughtering dinosaurs.
"There's a humanity to the film. You know, like in part four
where the girl is like, 'That's not a brontosaurus; he's my friend.'
No matter where you're from, you can relate to that. We all have a brontosaurus in our lives."
"Yeah, I agree."
And last but certainly not least, 2019's hit sequel, "Cliff Beasts 5:
Space Fury," is completely out of this world,
as the beasts take over the moon and wreak havoc on our astronauts and satellite systems.
Though Dr. Lacey isn't in most of the film,
she makes a surprise appearance towards the end. In a behind the scenes interview,
Carol Cobb offered a rare glimpse into the movie magic that allowed that to happen.
"Little fun nugget of information here – that wasn't me."
"It's this amazing new technology that they have where they can take a double and then they can put
my face – Lacey's face – onto the double with CGI. So that was pretty cool."
"Cliff Beasts 6" is the sixth entry in this blockbuster franchise, and it's
poised to be the biggest and most electrifying installment yet. The film marks the return of
all five original cast members, now that Carol Cobb's Dr. Lacey is officially back in action.
This time, the team has to scale Everest itself to face the newest outbreak of
man-eating monsters that have been unleashed from their icy hideaway at the top of the mountain.
They won't go on this perilous new journey alone, though. The film will also feature
a pair of exciting newcomers joining the fold. First, we have veteran actor Dieter Bravo – who
recently stunned audiences and critics alike with his searing work in "Hunger Strike."
"Dieter, how excited are you to be shooting Cliff Beasts 6?"
"I'm so excited."
And TikTok sensation Kristal Kris joins the team as well,
playing the sensitive but strong newcomer Vivian Joy. Plus, the film is directed by an exciting new
visionary in Darren Eigan, who joins the project after a recent win at Sundance Film Festival.
"Phenomenal talent. Unbelievable talent.
And I think absolutely it was the right move to work with Darren."
Together, they'll have to tackle the most dangerous version of cliff beasts
that man has ever seen, so strap in for a wild ride when "Cliff Beasts 6:
The Battle for Everest - Memories of a Requiem" arrives in theaters on Friday, April 1.
"So we're super excited. We're really just stoked for the film and I can't
wait for everybody to see it. It's going to be amazing. Are we good?"
