I love The Crow, and it will always have a special place in my heart, but I just can't hide the fact that I'm excited as all hell for a franchise reboot. It took 15 years, but Alex Proyas' adaptation of James O'Barr's comic is straight up dated. This afternoon io9 caught up with Ryan Kavanaugh, the man producing the remake being penned by Stephen Norrington. ...Read More
Be patient comic fans as the animated feature film version of The Goon is still in the works, it's just a long, hard road says creator Eric Powell.

We've just got to work to get to the next point. This is a slow, long process." Clancy Brown and Paul Giamatti have both been confirmed to lend their voices, check out two CG tests here. ...Read More

Is The Wolfman actually Frankenstein in disguise? Well, it's obviously not about a mad scientist's assembled monster - yet, if the movie is the creature and the studio is Dr. Frank, then you tell me what that equals? According to a new article over at Variety, Mirisch Agency has booked editors Mark Goldblatt and Walter Murch to recut Joe Johnston's The Wolfman reboot for Universal Pictures. For years now Bloody Disgusting has been hearing about the woes surrounding the hairy remake that is finally arriving in theaters February 12 (a Valentine's Day massacre anyone?). With the pic being re-edited just months before release, and news of recent reshoots and rescoring (Danny Elfman's score is to be replaced by composer Paul Halsinger's take), it's hard not to think we have a Franken-movie on our hands. Instead of moaning, he'll be howling in disappointment.
This afternoon CBS Films released the first trailer for Daniel Barnz's "Beauty and the Beast" tale, Beastly, which stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alex Pettyfer, Mary-Kate Olsen, Neil Patrick Harris and Peter Krause. In theaters July 30, when a spell is cast on a handsome egocentric young man (Pettyfer) that physically transforms him into everything he despises, he has one year to find a young woman (Hudgens) who will love him despite his hideous form or the spell will last forever. ...Read More
We ran across an interesting film heading into production in Glasgow, Scotland that will be directed by Stacy Hopkins. While I'm pretty damn sure it's NOT an actual remake, shooting will begin soon on The Blair Witch Remake, a film about three experienced filmmakers who set out to shoot a documentary about a local legend. While it sounds like an actual remake to Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez's groundbreaking 1999 film, I'm not exactly sure how it could be. I'm guessing it's more of a faux remake and a play on the original film. More details as they come in.
First announced here on BD November 6th was the newly revived Howling franchise, which will kick off with The Howling Reborn. Today it was officially confirmed that Joe Nimziki will direct the pic from his own screenplay for indie producers Joel Kastelberg and Moonstone Entertainment's Etchie Strohl. The latest installment starts shooting in February for a Halloween release. Unfortunately, plot details are still under wraps. The original "Howling," directed by Joe Dante from a script by John Sayles, was released in 1981 and spawned six sequels. Dee Wallace-Stone starred as a news anchor stalked by a serial killer who turns out to be a werewolf. ...Read More

While many of us might feel nostalgic for the early days of Pong and Pac-Man, you have to admit that in the 21st century gaming has become a much richer, more dynamic experience than ever before.

This season's list also includes a new section highlighting some of the best ghoulish iPhone apps now (or soon) available for purchase.

Marking the third best weekend opening of all time (thank god it wasn't the first), Summit Entertainment's sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon grossed an estimated $140.7 million from 4,024 theaters at the domestic B.O., according to insiders close to the numbers. Not only that, New Moon led what's expected to be the second-best weekend ever at the domestic B.O. in terms of overall ticket sales, trailing only the weekend that Warner Bros.' "The Dark Knight" opened, and that was in summer. New Moon's boffo opening trails only Warners' The Dark Knight ($167.2 million) and Sony's Spider-Man 3 ($151.1 million). New Moon bumped Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($135.6 million) from the No. 3 spot in terms of top opening for a three-day weekend.

Earlier this morning Bloody Disgusting's Johnne Marrone took a trip to the set of Jim Mickle's (Mulberry Street) now filming Stake Land, a new vampire pic that looks quite extraordinary. During the visit, Marrone had a chance to chat with star Danielle Harris who revealed to BD that both Mos Def and Bill Moseley have joined the voice cast of Zeb de Soto's Night of the Living Dead: Origins 3D.
