ON THE SET OF JENNIFER'S BODY
Below you'll find a brand new behind-the-scenes video from 20th Century Fox's Jennifer's Body, which features all sorts of on set interviews and new footage from the film arriving in theaters September 18.
The story of a cheerleader who is possessed by a demon and starts feeding off the boys in a Minnesota farming town. Her "plain Jane" best friend must kill her, then escape from a correctional facility to go after the Satan-worshiping rock band responsible for the transformation.
Need more footage from Columbia Pictures' horror-comedy Zombieland? Check out the brand new international trailer for the film below and don't forget it now arriving in theaters October 2.
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn’t have fears. If he did, he’d kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they’re about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.
HORROR HAMLET?
Interesting news over at Collider as they report that Catherine Hardwicke’s Hamlet movie is going to be horror, so says star Emile Hirsch.
"I’m working on a modern-day younger adaptation of “Hamlet”, in verse, molded to be almost like this supernatural horror movie," Emile Hirsch tells the site. "Where it’s not a horror-slasher movie, it’s like a suspense-horror. It’s almost like mixing “Hamlet” with “The Shining” a little bit and making this kind of scary/cool vision of the play. But all geared towards–all the cast will be much younger and it’s geared towards a younger audience. Catherine Hardwicke, who did “Twilight” and “Lords of Dogtown”, we’re working on that together right now."" He adds that, "We’re going to start shooting in October. Hopefully."
TRUE BLOOD CONTINUES TO DESTROY
From Variety: "Over at HBO, "True Blood" surged more than 20% week to week to set series records (2.8/8 in 18-49, 5.33 million viewers overall). In the demo, the vampire skein ranked third among all primetime programs for the week.
The premiere telecast was the first HBO series episode to top 5 million viewers since the finale of "The Sopranos" drew 11.9 million in June 2007. And excluding "Sopranos," it's the largest premiere-night audience for an HBO series since 5.4 million tuned in for the fourth episode of "Deadwood" (which aired behind "Sopranos") in April 2004.
"True Blood" is opening up some distance on skedmates "Hung" (1.7/5 in 18-49, 3.28m) and "Entourage" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 3.18m), although they were both up as well."
TWO MORE PREP FOR MOTHER'S DAY
Darren Lynn Bousman is two weeks out from rolling cameras on his remake of Mother's Day in Winnipeg, Canada.
ShockTillYouDrop reports that Lyriq Bent - of Saw II, Saw III (both directed by Bousman) and Saw IV - will co-star as "Treshawn" while actress actress Lisa Marcos has also been cast.
They both join the previously announced Deborah Ann Woll, Jaime King, Briana Evigan, Shawn Ashmore and Alexa Vega.
In the remake of the classic Troma film from 1980, three brothers on the run from the law head for home, only to discover that their mother lost the house in a foreclosure. Mother ingeniously orchestrates her sons' escape, teaching the house's new owners and their guests a few lessons along the way.
true blood is the greatest show alive!! good for them! zombieland should be a fun ride of blood and comedy! im seeing jennifers body for megan fox and the death scenes cause im not all that big of a fan of the plot
All and all it's been a good year for horror movie lovers and it looks to be finishing strong with Sorority Row, Jennifer's Body, and the oh so great looking Zombieland.
Ya no audio for me either on JB video, sucks, I'm looking so forward to seeing jennifer's body, hope it's as good and gory as it looks, at least it's rated R and not crappy PG-13, I love my girlfriend but god damn it Megan fox is so fucking hot. Also looking forward to seeing Zombieland which looks really awesome and better each time i see a trailer for it.
Since this is "News Bites" I just found out that 'Grace' is available early on blue-ray exclusively at Best Buy and Bestbuy.com. Don't know why BD didn't announce it but yea, get your copy early for just $19.99 on blue-ray.
I can't believe you people. True Blood is one of the absolute worst shows I've ever seen. Ever. I'll never understand its popularity. But then again, we live in a world where people are excited about Saw 8, so, there's no accounting for taste.
Well, Frogger. Did it ever occur to you that it's YOU who has the bad taste? Yes, True Blood is a frustrating and often times redundant show but it's still more entertaining than most crap on television these days. Get over it. And you'll never stop the blades of Saw. Now go and watch your Hatchet DVD.
