Still from Saw IV

Anybody think the Saw guys are just strapping Sharp things to strings now?

"Isle of the Dead" remake happening

RKO pictures is banking on newcomers Brian Horiuchi and Matt Lazarus to pen an update of the 1945 film Isle Of The Dead, which starred Boris Karloff.

In the 1945 film directed by Val Lewton, Karloff played a Greek military commander on an island where a plague breaks out. He orders the isle quarantined and as residents fall ill and die, some begin to suspect that a vampire-demon might be the cause of the deaths.

RKO plans to set the remake against the backdrop of a viral outbreak in Afghanistan.

"Val Lewton made his name by taking the horror genre to a new place," said RKO chairman and CEO Ted Hartley, who will produce. "Brian and Matt have the same kind of genre-bending sensibilities that will give this classic tale the perfect blend of contemporary themes and timeless scares."

This isn't the first remake of a Lewton film; his classic 1942 film Cat People (which was directed by Jacques Tourneur) was remade in 1982 by Paul Schrader.

No director is set as of yet, but let's hope that if the film is any good, people remember it as HIS film instead of the producer's.



Tarsem returning with video-game adaptation

Tarsem Singh, who directed the visually fantastic but otherwise useless 2000 thriller The Cell, has finally lined up his next project. He will helm The Unforgettable, a film supposedly based on the game Condemned: Criminal Origins, which was a pretty damn scary game.

Originally titled "Species X," the film centers on a cop who in the course of a murder investigation realizes that he is not human and uncovers a war between good and evil aliens.

Well...that's all well and good but the game had nothing to do with aliens, so it's good to know they're mucking this one up right from the start.:rolleyes:

But from a visual standpoint it could be the best video game movie adaptation yet. Wait and see...

:rolleyes:

Nothing gets by the ninja.:p

I don't know if this has been posted yet but here are some more pictures from the new Batman movie. http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/new...ark-knight.php The pictures hhave recently been removed :(

Also I hope that this isn't true.
Enter the Dragon Remake?

Balls of Fury is an Enter the Dragon remake. But with ping pong.

Yeah,... .with ping pong. Anything with ping pong is cool with me.

Robert Englund talks!

Today at Collectormania in Glasgow, Robert Englund was talking about his time with Freddy and his time on TV show the V.

Someone in the crowd asked him if there would be any more Freddy films. He said that New Line Cinema were in talks with John Carpenter to make a movie called, you guessed it, Freddy vs Jason Vs Michael. He also revealed that Freddy vs Jason vs Ash was going to be made but it got pulled [the ideas for this film will be implemented in a comic book being released this fall].

Also he said that New Line Cinema are in talks with Wes Craven about making a prequel to A Nightmare On Elm Street. He said it would start with Freddy working at the school as the janitor and end with him being burnt. He made a joke saying that at least he wouldn't have to where the make up all the way throughout the movie. He revealed that there is a SCRIPT for this movie already made!!

Finally he talked about 2001 Maniacs. He said he starred in that as a favor to the director and he had such a good time making it that they are going to make another one!

Check out this website for the new movie The Zombie Diaries. I think it looks promising...

..but it seems inspired by 28 days & 28 weeks later!?!

Yep, close resemblance to "part 3" of THAT series. It is pretty decent.

I heard it just now and was like what the hell was THAT?
Nice way of promoting a monster movie.:D

I personally am getting really fed up about this JJ Abrahms movie. I love JJ and everything but come on. That is the chance you take with viral advertising.

New Director reveals plotline for "The Mummy 3"


Rob Cohen is taking over The Mummy reins from Stephen Sommers, and has decided to blog about his experience making the third film in the popular action-adventure franchise.

Over on his new website at RobCohenTheMummy.com, Cohen reveals that the full title of the flick is, at least for the moment, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.

The filmmaker also unleashes some heretofore unheard of story details on the forthcoming flick. Cohen writes:

Jet Li plays a despotic Emperor in 50 B.C. whose evil is punished by a terrible curse laid on him by wizardress Michelle Yeoh: he and his army are turned into terra cotta for all time; that is, unless he is re-awakened which, of course, is where the O'Connell's come back into it.

The story moves to the year 1946. When we find them, Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn (Maria Bello) are retired to Oxfordshire, England, having been spies for the British during World War II. They are bored silly and welcome the offer of "one last mission" from the Foreign Office. Their assignment: courier a precious artifact back to the museum in Shanghai, China from which it was stolen.

Back to Asia: China is in turmoil but Jonathan (John Hannah) owns an Egyptian-themed bar in Shanghai. Unbeknownst to his parents, now grown-up Alex O'Connell (Luke Ford) is following in the family business as a young archaeologist on a dig in north-central China. He makes the discovery of a lifetime: the tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which has been buried for millennia. A beautiful assassin (Isabella Leong) tries to kill him to keep the location secret but Alex prevails. The Emperor's monument is transported back to Shanghai where another plot is in motion: military zealot Anthony Wong intends to awaken the Emperor and aid him in the re-conquest of China and the raising of his terra cotta army of ten thousand clay warriors (google The Terra Cotta army of Xi'an if you want to read more about the history of this wonder of the ancient world).

The family is reunited and high adventure ensues: crash landings, treks thru the Himalayas, Yeti, avalanches (bigger than the one I did in XXX), Shangri-la, three-headed dragons, pools of eternal life, epic battles, a shape-shifting Jet Li….I could go on but I don't want to give it all away.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, written by Smallville scribes Miles Millar and Alfred Gough, is currently filming in Montreal.

The flick is set for a July 2008 big-screen release.

Everything's ok but what's wrong with Rachel Weisz for Evelyn?

Apparently she turned down the offer of reprising the role for a 3rd time.

Bousman's "Repo" casting confirmed, Shooting this week

Today director Darren Lynn Bousman updated fans via his MySpace blog on his next project, Repo! The Genetic Opera, which stars Alexa Vega, Bill Moseley, Paul Sorvino, Paris Hilton and Nivek Ogre (Skinny Puppy).

"Repo!" focuses on a cruel entrepreneur who creates genetically perfect organs that everybody needs in 2056, and who is content to send in a repo man if the recipient can't make payments.

Darren writes via his MySpace:

"Less than ONE week away before cameras start rolling on REPO OPERA!!!! On top of that all the music has been recorded, and is sounding AMAZING!!!! I have become addicted to it - everywhere I go I find myself humming, singing, and or BREAKING out into song... It's actually quite annoying - my life has become a musical!!!!

It's fucking insane to see the sets going up... they are HUUUUGE!!!! We are building the entire world of REPO on this massive sound stage. These are the biggest sets I have had the pleasure of working on. Much much much bigger than anything we ever built for SAW.

Rehearsals have begun, and the cast have all arrived... I will and can confirm some internet rumors. Both Bill Moseley and Kevin Ogre (Skinny Puppy) have joined the cast officially!!! They are both BAD ASSES!!! There are still three cast members who have yet to be announced! Hopefully I can spill the beans sometimes next week!

I feel like a kid in a candy store right now! This movie is so exciting!!!!

Premiere of "The Mother of Tears" in TIFF - Impressive

Review by Mike Pereira -

"In the year in which the “threequel" ruled the cinemas, the one that horror fans have been desperately waiting for has finally arrived. Dario Argento’s venture into the occult began with masterpiece, “Suspiria” (1977), later to be followed by the flawed but still captivating, “Inferno” (1980). Oh yes, after a massive 27-yearlong wait, Argento has finally completed his “Three Mothers” trilogy with “Mother Of Tears: The Third Mother”. The real frightening question is if it would deliver on everyone’s extremely high expectations. Well…

This final chapter focuses on art student, Sarah Mandy (Asia Argento) who unwittingly releases the demonic power of the most powerful witch (Mother Of Tears to all you non-Argento aficionados). Before you know it, violence, mass suicides and chaos erupts all over Rome, not to mention, psychopathic witches. Like the old story goes, the protagonist must use her untapped psychic powers to stop the “Mother Of Tears” reign of evil before it’s too late.

The screenplay written by Argento himself and Jase Anderson and Adam Gierasch (writers of Tobe Hopper’s underrated, Toolbox Murders) has all of the elements a good final act should contain. The epic storyline moves along in a brisk pace with satisfying tie-ins to the previous films. The exposition is of course, quite silly but is given a conviction with just the right amount of wink at the audience without making the viewer cringe in his or her seat.

Goblin’s Claudio Simonetti has cooked up another killer score. His creepy and intense music goes perfectly hand-in-hand with Argento’s powerful imagery. It goes back to the feel of Goblin’s score in “Suspiria” without ever completely referencing to it. The epic chorus chants create an immediate, punchy effect. Plus, the “oh-so-cool” end credits metal tune perfectly caps the film.

“The Mother Of Tears” is a rousingly insane movie-going experience that could only be concocted by a genius such as Dario Argento. The shockingly graphic and inventive death scenes are vintage Argento and can be proudly put aside his previous works’ finer set-pieces. No character is spared anything less than a gloriously spectacular finish and thank heavens for that! Sexuality in Argento’s extreme violence has never been more perverse and beautifully executed. The climax of “The Mother Of Tears” take these classic Argento ingredients and smashes them together in a terribly unsubtle and spectacular orgasm of sights and sounds. It’s safe to say that the MPAA won’t let this baby nowhere near the vicinity of our “sensitive” and “inhibited” North American eyes.

The film borders on the absurd and camp without ever tripping over that fine line. It’s the type of material that could go horribly disastrous at every turn but doesn’t because of Dario Argento’s sure-hand confidence in his bold vision. His juggling of opposite emotions, black humor and horror is masterful. It’s a delicate and dangerous feat that has turned many potential great horror films to a debacle in an instant (“Dead Silence”). There is one ingenious moment where Argento distracts the viewer with a…well, very distracting image only to hit us with the best scare in ages. (I think I can call it that since the packed audiences pretty much jumped in unison). You have to applaud any movie that has a chase scene between a protagonist and a monkey and still keep the viewers in their seats. That is the sheer brilliance of “The Mother Of Tears”. It relishes in absurdly twisted ideas and images without ever pulling back in shame. A distinctly non-North American way of making movies.

The film is not without its faults. While for the most part, she is solid, Asia Argento’s performance is awkward when conveying vulnerability and emotion. It’s not that she hasn’t displayed these traits effectively in the past because she has (“The Stendhal Syndrome” and her own directorial gigs, “Scarlet Diva” and “The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things”). But her dear old dad’s female protagonists tend to be stereotypically frail, a trait that Asia’s performance never quite convincingly displays. She is too strong of a screen personality to make the viewer buy into it. Plus, on few shots, the CGI effects are a little distracting especially with the Dino De Laurentiis-like final shot. Also, while it is great to see Daria Nicolodi back in an Argento film, her character and the ghostly CGI effect which she is sadly trapped in, overstays its welcome in a “Jar Jar Binks” sort of way.

Aside from those minor nitpicks, “The Mother Of Tears” is a very satisfying finale to the “Three Mothers” trilogy. Sure, it’s no “Suspiria” and frankly, nothing ever will be. If you can get over that fact, you will find yourself entertained by Argento’s delightfully deranged and energetic epic. It’s got brutal violence! Nudity! Lesbian sexuality! Lots of lesbians! Yes, it’s politically-incorrect. What more do you want in an Argento movie?!

Did I forget to mention it has a pretty freaky monkey?"


Sounds very interesting I must admit...(psst, Zero will be happy while watching this one);)

Still from The Wolfman. (Check out Benicio Del Toro...he looks badass!)

September 12, 2007 - The latest big-screen installment in George Romero's endless zombie saga has been picked up for North American theatrical release by The Weinstein Co.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the studio snatched up the distribution rights to George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead for roughly $2 million.

Romero, who directed the 1968 horror classic Night of the Living Dead, most recently revisited the zombie subgenre with 2005's Land of the Dead.

Diary premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival over the weekend.

Romero calls the film "a rejigging of the myth," and intends it to be a reboot of his zombie movie franchise. The story follows a group of students who are making an indie horror film. Unfortunately, life imitates art and the group become trapped in a world being consumed by living corpses. The filmmakers then begin to document the real-life horrors occurring around them.

There's no immediate word on when Weinstein might release the flick on the big screen, but stay tuned.

September 18, 2007


Myriad Pictures and The Weinstein Company are uniting to handle the North American distribution for Dario Argento's Mother of Tears.

Contrary to previous reports coming out of the Toronto International Film Festival where "Tear" was recently screened and widely accepted, Anchor Bay is not involved.

Instead, Myriad Pictures will take on the role as Mother of Tears' North American theatrical distributor. TWC, meanwhile, will use their exclusive relationship with Genius Products to issue the third film in Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy on DVD.

In a statement issued by Myriad, Kirk D'Amico, President and CEO, said, "This time, it was about the passion that Harvey, Barry Gordon and the TWC team had for the film that got the deal closed. We look forward to Myriad handling the theatrical release alongside their expertise and experience on the DVD and rest of media side."

Myriad intends to release the film theatrically in the U.S. and Canada sometime after the beginning of the new year.

For all you "sleazy" ones who loved the one-liner of Hannibal King in Blade: Trinity (the one where he says "Her name is Danica Talos. You met her earlier. And unlike typical vampires, her fangs are located in her vagina...") and wished if only that would be true...well, its granted.

Hitting both NY and LA on November 30th, and then nationally in December, is Mitchell Lichtenstein's Sundance horror-dark comedy, Teeth, which follows a high school student (Dawn) with an odd mutation... she has teeth inside her vagina. She's a young woman preaching abstinence, which is a good thing for the boys... until she's raped.

Talk about wishes coming true...how many of you will queue up to watch this one?;)

I heard theyre gonna do a remake of the original hellraiser

i'm looking forward to the last installment of the trilogy. i've seen some pictures and read about it and apparently this is, according to argento himself, the goriest movie he's ever made.

Russell Mulcahy to direct 'Vampires'


Russell Mulcahy ("Resident Evil: Extinction") will helm "Zen in the Art of Slaying Vampires," a project being mobilized by CP Prods. partners Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters.

Capitol Films' David Bergstein will finance and sell the pic, which is based on a novel by Steven-Elliot Altman that's the first in a three-book series.

Protag is turned into a vampire as he and his lover are attacked in lower Manhattan. She dies, and he struggles to overcome his murderous instincts and thirst for blood through Zen meditation. A struggle for his soul ensues between the bloodsuckers and the zen masters.

Altman is writing the script, and CP's Cerenzie and Peters will produce. They are also working together on a game version of "Zen."

Mulcahy said he liked "the pathos of the lead characters and the way it is wrapped in a world of mythology."

Altman recently penned "9Dragons" for Acclaim Games, and CP is developing a movie version of "Joust," a graphic novel Altman is writing.

Ever wondered how it would feel to be a man who is murdered each day by unknown killers, only to wake up in a parallel life and get murdered again?

Sort of like Groundhog Day meets Saw?

Then look no further.

Dario Piana's The Deaths of Ian Stone tells the story of an all-American guy who is murdered each day by horrifying pursuers, only to wake up in slightly different lives to experience the terror of being murdered again.

This is one of the top films announced thus far for this year's After Dark Horrorfest - which includes Frontiere(s), Unearthed and Nightmare Man so far.

Horrorfest runs Nationwide from November 9-18.

I will post full details as soon as they are available.

horrorfest is awsome I cant wait!!!!!!!!! and that movie sounds bitchin

Anaconda 3 and 4 - Guess who is the hero

Sony have commissioned a further two sequels to Luis Llosa's “Anaconda” – sans the original’s all-star cast. You’ll never guess who’ll be doing battle with the giant snake this time?

None other than ‘The Hoff’!

Yep, David Hasselhoff’s on River-Watch for the Don E. FauntLeRoy (“Urban Justice”; cinematographer on "Jeepers Creepers 2") directed sequels – both filming back to back.

He’s joined by Crystal Allen (“Maid in Manhattan”), John Rhys Davies (“Lord of the Rings”) and Zoltan Butuc (“Funny Money”).

Ol’ fluffy chest plays a mercenary-for-hire who accepts a mission from a billionaire to capture a dangerous snake that could possibly help cure a terminal illness.

The films – the first being titled “Anaconda 3 : The Offspring” - will be shot in – of course – Romania. It’s planned that they’ll premiere on the Sci Fi Channel before hitting DVD.

Loved the fake trailers in Grindhouse? Read on...

MGM has been confirmed as the distributor for Eli Roth's latest horror effort, Trailer Trash, which he is currently writing.

In addition to the studio, the site lists a release date of August 22, 2008, which has yet to be confirmed.

Trailer Trash is s full-length film consisting of fake movie trailers that all tie together.

Eli says, "TRAILER TRASH was inspired by the two days we filmed "Thanksgiving," which was the most fun I've ever had filming anything.

It is not a horror film, it's a comedy. It will be very R-rated and completely insane, and I'm producing it with Mike Fleiss (who I did both "Hostel" films with), and writing it with my friends Jeff Rendell (my "Thanksgiving" co-writer, who also played The Pilgrim), Noah Belson (my co-creator on "The Rotten Fruit,") and my brother Gabe, who's collaborated with me on everything I've ever done.

I want to make a film like "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which I consider to be the greatest achievement in the history of cinema. The best part is I get to shoot some new THANKSGIVING scenes, as well as other holiday slasher films I've always dreamed of making but never would because they'd completely ruin me. I can't wait to shoot!"

"Benighted" werewolves set to storm the screen

Patrick Smith Kelly has been brought aboard to adapt Benighted , a supernatural thriller novel by Kit Whitfield. Graham King is producing along with Andrew Adamson for Warner Bros. through King's new production shingle, GK Films.

"Benighted" is set in an alternate reality in which 90% of the population are werewolves and the minority human population is responsible for keeping the peace during the full moon. The book follows the story of Lola, a member of the police force investigating a series of suspicious, unsolved murders.

King acquired the book in 2006. Adamson is eyeing the project as a possible directorial vehicle.

Kelly's credits include the Michael Douglas thrillers "A Perfect Murder" and "Don't Say a Word." He is working on "Ink" for Universal and Imagine.
