With Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" coming to DVD September 18th from Dimension Extreme, The Weinstein Co. set up a sweet little booth at this year's San Diego Comic Con to promote the release, which featured a legless Rose McGowan look-alike. No word yet on Robert Rodriguez's "Planet Terror", but this seems to confirm the rapid speculation that the theatrical double feature will be split up for the initial home video release. Death Proof is a rip-roaring slasher flick where the killer (Kurt Russell) pursues his victims with a car rather than a knife. Read on for booth pics. ...Read More

Last weekend at the San Diego Comic Con, we had the pleasure of talking with the entire cast of Columbia Pictures' Spiderman 3! If you head on over to FDM you can read our interview with director Sam Raimi and stars Topher Grace, Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, Thomas Haden Church and Bryce Dallas Howard. The first time anyone has spoken publicly about Venom... this was the first official confirmation in fact! In "Spider-Man 3," Peter Parker has finally managed to strike a balance between his devotion to M.J. and his duties as a superhero. But there is a storm brewing on the horizon. As Spider-Man basks in the public's adulation for his accomplishments and he is pursued by Gwen Stacy (Bryce Dallas Howard), who rivals M.J. for his affections, Peter becomes overconfident and starts to neglect the people who care about him most. His newfound self-assuredness is jeopardized when he faces the battle of his life against two of the most feared villains ever (Thomas Haden Church, Topher Grace), whose unparalleled power and thirst for retribution threaten Peter and everyone he loves.

Sony has already started planning for The Grudge 3 - several months shy of the release of Grudge 2, according to Moviehole. But can Shimizu resist the temptation to direct yet again? At this year's San Diego Comic Con Takashi Shimizu, director of "The Grudge 2", tells Moviehole that the studio is keen for him to direct the second sequel [as well]. Though he said he'd like to be involved in some capacity - and he isn't ruling out directing it, yet - he would probably only produce it. He seems keen to journey beyond the world of "The Grudge".

This was the biggest Comic Con of all time as over 100,000 people were in attendance. The bigger panels such as for Columbia Pictures' Spiderman 3 had a demand from about 20,000 people while they could only accommodate 7,000. Because of this we nearly missed the first footage of Venom - but with a little balls and some serious bullsh*ting we were able to weasel our way in. In addition to this amazing split-second good bump inducing footage, we had the chance to see a special Comic Con made trailer for Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's Grind House, which blew my socks off. Read on for the skinny on both... ...Read More
During an interview with Bloody-Disgusting at this year's San Diego Comic Con, 'Spiderman 3' director Sam Raimi tells us that he's really busy with Spidey now... but when he's finished he still plans on remaking The Evil Dead with Ghost House Pictures.

About an hour ago I had the pleasure to check out the world premiere clip from Lionsgate's Saw 3, which was shown at this year's San Diego Comic Con. Director Darren Lynn Bousman promised more gore, more terror and more horror than in Saw 2... and he wasn't joking. This incomplete clip displayed a man who wakes up with chains attached to all parts of his body, Jigsaw taunts his inability to stay out of prison as he only has a few minutes to tear his flesh loose from the chains to save himself from sure death. It was easily one of the best things I've ever seen in this quickly growing franchise. Watch for more Comic Con coverage live all weekend long as Bloody-Disgusting will keep you posted on everything horror related. 'Saw 3' hits theaters everywhere October 27th, the trailer will be attached to 'The Descent' on August 4th.
We're here sweating our asses off at this year's San Diego Comic Con trying to keep you guys posted on all of the major horror announcements... and here's a whopper of one. B-D reporter Slice reports live from the event that Lionsgate will instantly begin prepping Saw 4 if the third film in the franchise is a sucess, which I'm sure it will be. We were also informed that if a fourth film happens, Tobin Bell will return as Jigsaw. Watch this spot for more news as it comes in live from the con!!! Darren Lynn Bousman's Saw 3 hits theaters this October 27th.
