Fresh Plans For 'Halloween,' 'Hellraiser,' Among Others Posted 8 Hours 33 Minutes ago It's hard to believe anything that comes from the Weinstein camp these days, especially after a brutal 2009, but it doesn't mean we can't hope for some progress (especially since they own the rights to some great horror franchises). In a new "hype piece" over at the Hollywood Reporter, they reveal that plans are still underway for remakes of Hellraiser and Children of the Corn, along with sequels to Scary Movie and Halloween. You can read about the Weinstein Company's plans here, although you have to think they have a lot riding on Piranha 3D this August, not to mention the major release plans for Scream IV in April. Could this be the resurrection of Bob and Harvey, along with a handful of horror franchises? I'm rooting for 'em, only if they make something good.

Amy Heckerling (Clueless) has written and will direct the project, which stars Alicia Silverstone and Krysten Ritter as New York socialite vampires whose freewheeling lifestyles are tripped up when blood is pumped into their romantic lives. Sigourney Weaver also stars as the queen vamp who turned them into creatures of the night. Lewis will play a former student activist who works as an ACLU lawyer. Red Hour Films is producing with Lauren Versel of Lucky Monkey Pictures and Molly Hassell. Principal photography begins next month in Detroit.

The film will be a big ticket item, shot in 3D. Cameron's presence helped win over the studio with pre-production beginning in the next few weeks, and shoot next summer. In the Lovecraft tale, a gruesome discovery made during a scientific expedition to the South Pole in the 1930s hints at the true origin of mankind having come from elder gods from another planet. Bad things happen when those life forms are awakened. The project is years in the works for del Toro and producers Susan Montford and Don Murphy (Splice, Natural Born Killers, Transformers), and it is easily the most ambitious project contemplated by the Pan's Labyrinth director.

I love the idea of getting the audience involved in a film in unique and interesting ways. Paramount has chosen to get us involved in J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg's 80's alien-creature feature Super 8 with their bizarre Rocket Poppeteers campaign. You've read about all sorts of oddness from snail mail advertisements to on hand Comic-Con Popsicle trucks, now they're kicking it into high gear with an official website for the Rocket Poppeteers! Go register and see what you find. While Abrams hasn't even begun casting yet, they definitely know they want this in theaters by summer of 2011.

Being adapted by Seth Grahame-Smith from his own novel revision of the Jane Austen classic, when Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the "milk sickness." Only later did he learn that his mother's deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking to collect a debt owed by Lincoln's father. When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampires.

That **grrr** pulled a bait and switch with "Lost", tricking foolish viewers into loving the finale by pulling on their emotional strings. He literally crapped all over the series, and the fans. As far as I'm concerned he's the Devil, and I want his evil Hollywood mitts as far away from my genre as humanly possible. Too bad for me the writer is said to have closed a deal to do rewrite work on 20th Century Fox's Alien prequel, which the studio hopes Ridley Scott will direct as his next assignment, reports Deadline. I can only imagine the ambiguous finale that will have (sigh). Here's the kicker, word has it that it might not end up even being an Alien film. More inside.

It's pretty cool; check it out inside. And if you missed the news, Lionsgate has shifted the Kevin Greutert directed Saw 3D to October 29 in order to avoid battling Paranormal Activity 2, instead, it will go toe-to-toe with Wes Craven's post-converted 3-D horror My Soul to Take. Again, I expect Universal to retreat until 2011. Only time will tell.

In my feeble opinion, the star is one of the best around, and is much deserving of major roles. While I sit back and wait for his career to literally explode, Murphy will tackle a new mankind ending virus in The Retreat (he previously starred in Danny Boyle's 28 Days Later). Deadline reports that Murphy begins filming this British thriller in September on location in Wales. Murphy and Thandie Newton (Vanishing on 7th Street ) will play a husband and wife who rent a remote island cottage while trying to repair their marriage. One day they find a bio hazard-suited soldier washed up on the beach, who warns them that everybody on the mainland has been killed by an airborne virus. That’s when the psychological fun-and-games begin. Carl Tibbetts, an editor who's worked on Alien Vs Predator (oh boy), is the first-time writer/director.

Posted July 28, 2010 @ 4:01 Moviehole talked to Drive Angry 3D/My Bloody Valentine 3D director Patrick Lussier this past weekend who discussed another of his upcoming projects, Condition Dead, suggesting they’re talking about Nathan Fillion (SLiTHER) for one of the roles in it. This would be Fillion's third time working with Lussier – they previously collaborated on Dracula 2000 and White Noise 2. Condition Dead was written by ex-CHUD/now JOBLO writer Dave Davis, and is produced by Clint Morris (from Moviehole) and Joel Soission (Pulse). The script fixes on an elite team of government-subsidized zombie-hunters who are mysteriously ambushed by a viscous new breed of zombie. Tyrese Gibson, initially onboard as a producer, is no longer involved. Add a Comment (4) Related Link: Moviehole.net Gris Grimly Updates 'Pinocchio', Big Names Working on Stop-Motion Adaptation!

Monroe's ultra-violent I Spit On Your Grave (review) redo that opens in limited theaters UNRATED on October 8. The pic tells the story of city dweller Jennifer Hills (Sarah Butler), a city girl who rents an isolated cabin in the country to write her latest novel. On one terrifying evening, a group of local lowlifes break into the cabin and overpower, assault and rape Jennifer, ultimately leaving her for dead. But Jennifer miraculously survives her ordeal, consumed with hell-borne vengeance for those who wronged her, and repays their heinous acts in gruesome ways that these lowlifes never thought imaginable.

But based on the footage we saw, this is most certainly not the case. While the beats are the same, things play out completely differently. For example, we were treated to the scene of The Father (Richard Jenkins) botching a kill, but this time it takes place entirely in a car, resulting in a horrific (and breathtaking) car crash. And later on, Jenkins let a pretty significant spoiler slip, one that could drastically change the themes and dynamic of the story. Read on for what Jenkins had to say!

Posted July 27, 2010 @ 5:11 Aliens are a hot commodity, and Paramount Pictures knows it. The studio not only has Area 51 is the pipeline from Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli, but they also are currently filming the J.J. Abrams/Steven Spielberg collaboration Super 8 for a summer 2011 release. Getting in on the action is none other than Michael Bay, who is set to produce his own spin on the popular alien invasion phenomenon alongside Paranormal Activity's Steven Schneider. The Bobby Glickert penned top secret project is described as Cloverfield meets Paranormal Activity, a hilarious combination consider the two other films Paramount is distributing. Either way, I'm 100% OK with 400 alien movies so long as they're GOOD.

"No more happy endings!" the director declared in a press statement (although his last film Antichrist also couldn't be described as having a happy ending.) The filmmakers said the project is "a beautiful movie about the end of the world." The English-language film started shooting July 22 in Trollhattan, Sweden and will continue its shoot through Sept 8. The film is set for release in May-June 2011. The cast includes Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgård, Stellan Skarsgård, Jesper Christensen, Udo Kier, Brady Corbet and Cameron Spurr.

While neither film enjoys the artistic or commercial standing of their main inspirations - Halloween and Jaws, respectively – they're both still a valuable, if slightly cheesy, addition to any horror fan's library.

The Financial Times is reporting that Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler, Black Swan) has officially turned in his secret access card as the studio sits on the brink of bankruptcy. With the studio sitting on a massive $3.7bn of debt, and struggling to make interest repayments, it looks like RoboCop is just the first of many projects that'll hit the bin. It's hard to be a hardcore movie fan and not feel a little pain in watching MGM suffer as it's been around since Goldwyn Pictures Corporation back in 1917.
