I have some bad new for you this evening, so sit down and get a shot ready. Dimension Films announced today that the remake of Hellraiser, which is being written and directed by Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (Inside), has been bumped to a undetermined 2009 release date. The film was slated for release this September. In addition, MGM has pushed the release of Eli Roth's Trailer Trash out of its August date and also into an undetermined 2009 release. We're assuming it's because of the strike, and we'll keep you posted when a new date arrives for both films. Click the titles above for more details.
I'm bummed that Trailer Trash is still being talked about. It sounds completely stupid. When will Roth give us something truly original? He's becoming the Tarantino of horror...that is to say, someone with talent, who wastes it by ripping off (or I guess overly paying homage) to films he enjoys, with little regard to making his own original concepts and films. QT and Eli are hot now, but 20, 30 years down the road, neither will be taken seriously in cinematic discussions and neither will be seen as pioneers like those they mimic are.
