Courtesy of the IMP Awards comes the first real one sheet for Shelter, the Julianne Moore thriller directed by Mans Marlind and Bjorn Stein.

Coming out of left field is an official Japanese website for a ive-action Dead Rising adaptation, courtesy of publisher Capcom!
Dead Rising's story centers on Frank West, a photojournalist who ends up trapped in a shopping mall in the fictional town of Willamette, Colorado, that is infested with zombies. Frank must defend himself from zombie attacks, rescue survivors, contend with crazed psychopaths, and stay alive while still attempting to uncover the truth behind the incident. The player controls Frank as he explores the mall, using any available object as a weapon. The player can complete several main and optional missions to earn Prestige Points (PP) and gain special abilities. The game is designed as a sandbox game and features several endings, depending on the decisions the player makes along the way.
Check out the teaser!

GHOSTFACERS, SUPERNATURAL WEB SPINOFF
Via Variety:
"McG's Wonderland shingle and Warner Bros. TV are plotting a spinoff to the CW's long-running spooky drama "Supernatural."
But rather than produce it for TV, the new show -- "Ghostfacers" -- is heading straight for the Internet.
"Ghostfacers" reps the latest expansion into the digital studio space for Wonderland, which is producing the "Supernatural" spinoff with Warner Bros. TV's Studio 2.0.
In a twist, "Ghostfacers" will preem on TheWB.com -- the interactive/video-on-demand website that emerged from the ashes of the WB television network (where "Supernatural" first bowed). The series will also appear on the CW's website.
Wonderland has already begun production on the project, which will initially run as 10 three-minute episodes.
"Ghostfacers" follows a team of ghost hunters who tape their exploits in documentary fashion.
"It felt like the nature and style of what they do with their show-within-a-show would be fun to see in new media," said Wonderland TV topper Peter Johnson. "It's a fun, subversive way to allow these characters to play in the margins."
The somewhat comedic group first appeared on the first season of "Supernatural" (and were created for the show by Trey Callaway for the episode "Hell House") and also returned in season three, in the episode "Ghostfacers," by Ben Edlund.
According to Johnson, the "Ghostfacers" characters have already spawned a convention in London.
New series' first installment will follow the "Ghostfacers" as they investigate a theater believed to be haunted by the ghost of a young starlet (played by "Nip/Tuck" alum Kelly Carlson).
"Ghostfacers" stars A.J. Buckley ("CSI: NY"), Travis Wester ("Bones"), Brittany Ishibashi ("Supernatural") and Austin Basis ("Life Unexpected").
Besides starring in "Ghostfacers," Buckley and Wester are also writers on the project, along with Patrick Doody and Chris Valenziano. "Ghostfacers" is exec produced by McG, Peter Johnson, Jeff Grosvenor, Eric Kripke and Phil Sgriccia.
The web series reps the latest cross-media extension for "Supernatural," which has spawned 18 comic books, several novels and an official magazine. Another round of six comic books are in the works as well.
"'Supernatural' has sprung forth beyond the TV show," said Johnson. "The mother series seems flexible enough to allow our creative talent to pursue some of these other arenas."
Beyond the webisodes, TheWB.com and CWTV.com will also include other "Ghostfacers" content, such as gag reels, behind-the-scenes videos, photo galleries and actor confessionals. More mythology will also be uploaded to a dedicated "Ghostfacers" website.
Wonderland has also been behind the web series "Sorority Forever" and "Exposed." Going forward, however, Johnson said the company's digital studio output will focus on extensions of the production shingle's TV and film projects.
"Supernatural" is in its fifth season on the air."

japanese should stick to makeing godzilla movies ive yet to see a good zombie movie come from japan |
Supernatural is great. I'm happy that they are extending it with the spin-off web episodes of Ghostfacers. I do hope that they do away with all the Christian, God versus Satan, stuff after this season. It was much better before all that stuff. The Dead Rising movie looks horrible. I'm happy to see that Keiji Inafune (Mega Man creator) is making this his directorial debuet. Unfortunately, I think this film will tank even in Japan. Better that than making a bad Mega Man movie though. |
I dont know how I feel about the Ghostfacers. I wasnt really a fan of them in the show, let alone with their own show. I guess I'll try it, but I'm not sure if I will like it. |
The live action Dead Rising is going to be below a B movie, trust me (I wish it was going to be good but thats simply not the case). Should be good for a laugh though. |
dammit i was hoping for a good Dead Rising movie, not something like Evil Dead, but at least it looks funny. |
yeah, the SPN "GhostFacers" is an awesome idea! i'm in. the DEAD RISING thing is atrocious. the poster for SHELTER, i don't get but i'm interested in the movie. |
Lol that DEADRISING "trailer" is a live-action promo for the game, NOT a movie. Didn't anyone notice the big fucking "2" next to the title? There's a reason you only see "Capcom" as the intro logo- it's for their game. |
yep the deadrising 2 game is shown during the trailer but i think some of that is the actually dead rising movie
damn it announce the DR2 video game release date already |
lol a GhostFacers spinoff that's awesome. GhostFacers. I guess it sounds better if your actually saying it then typing it. |
Ghostfacers sounds awesome, they were really great on the series. |
I love japanese people. I love them I want married them all. I love them i love them. I really do. They are amazing. Make amazing movies. They are amazing. WOW. YES I am so much happier right now. |
I feel the exact same way you do, nohandtyper. I'll give it a shot just because it's Supernatural, but I don't have my hopes too high.

Dead Rising (2010- movie): Since the production company apparently couldn't afford to use or recreate a realistic looking mall (or had the props, but were too lazy to unpack them), the movie will take place in a warehouse. The warehouse has multiple rooms, random weapons, and a shit ton of boxes; but does not resemble the mall in any way, shape, or form. The writer/director is quoted saying, "This movie is the opposite of the 3D trend. Instead of enhancing the movie, and, therefore, the entire moviegoing experience, we are actually taking away from it. We COULD have used a mall, but figured it would be better to let the audience use their imagination." |
