My thoughts and stuff…
THE POLTERGEIST is a film that came just before my time, but in my circle of friends was built up like a legend. We talked about it in the same way that many people talk about THE EXORCIST. We all ended up watching it, and it certainly spooked us out.
Now the film is looking to do the same to a new generation of movie-goer. Last time Steven Spielberg was on as producer, this time we have Sam Raimi.

Holy pig’s blood! Despite the countless horror remakes, reimaginings, and reboots that we are given these days, studios are still looking for franchises to bring back to the big screen. MGM and Screen Gems have found another franchise that they want to take another stab at. That franchise is Stephen King’s CARRIE. Continue reading “CARRIE remake is in the works”
As we’ve known for a while, there is an upcoming HELLRAISER film in the works. After having seemingly countless sequels in the series, we need something a little different. That’s why it only makes sense for them to go for a remake of the original, something we’ve been hearing about for awhile now.
Now, according to the writers and director of the upcoming film, Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer, we are hearing it might not be a direct remake of the original film. Continue reading “Upcoming HELLRAISER film isn't quite a remake”
Mark Wahlberg is one of those actors who will take up a role that can gain him much critical acclaim, and then immediately follow it up with something like MAX PAYNE. That seems exactly to be in line with how almost everyone felt about the possibility of his joining THE CROW remake, which he was rumored to take the lead role in. That was, until recently.
Hit the break to check out what he had to say about passing on the role. Continue reading “Mark Wahlberg no longer interested in THE CROW remake”
Okay, I’ve admitted it many times before – I am not a fan of Channing Tatum. That being said, there are certain roles that do fit him really well, they just aren’t the route he usually takes. Now he is in negotiations to take up a lead role in the 21 JUMP STREET film adaptation, which sounds like a really good choice for him.
Currently, we are unsure of the role what Tatum would be playing, but we are led to believe that he would be taking up the role of Schmidt. Schmidt is one of the undercover guys who goes to the high school due to how young he looks. Continue reading “Channing Tatum in negotiations for 21 JUMP STREET lead”
HELLRAISER hasn’t really been a memorable series for a very long while, but that isn’t to say it couldn’t return to its dark, horrifying roots. That was many people’s hopes with the impending remake, but in classic horror film fashion, that has been fully squandered.
The Weinsteins have every intention of turning the film into a PG-13 franchise. Continue reading “HELLRAISER remake okay for the kiddos”
Wow, talk about a blast from the past, where have you been, Andie MacDowell? At one point, she was one of the biggest working actresses in the nineties, only to disappear from the spotlight in the newer millennium.
Luckily for all of us, MacDowell has been cast in the upcoming FOOTLOOSE remake. Continue reading “Andie MacDowell gets FOOTLOOSE”
FLASH GORDON is one of those films that has long been rumored and fallen through each time. But this most recent incarnation seems like it actually might happen. The film is set to be directed by Breck Eisner who just recently directed a remake of THE CRAZIES (Rusty’s review can be found here). During some of his recent interviews for THE CRAZIES, he had a little bit to say about FLASH GORDON. Though the film is coming, he claims it won’t be as soon as you would think.
Check out what he had to say after the jump! Continue reading “FLASH GORDON update from director Breck Eisner”
The never-ending barrage of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET teasing continues! First we had the new poster, then we had four new pictures, followed by a brand spankin’ new trailer. Then just today two new TV spots were released featuring some footage that wasn’t seen in the trailers. They both are short but sweet, and I found them to be surprisingly engaging for such short segments.
You can check out both A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET TV spots after the jump! Continue reading “Two TV spots for A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET”
When the remake of A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET was first announced, I didn’t know a single person that was excited about it. The biggest question was if Robert Englund would reprise the role of Freddy Krueger, which he played for two decades. People believed he was the only person that could ever play Freddy, until Jackie Earle Haley was announced as Freddy. It was amazing how quick people got on the side of the film after that.
The film is almost here whether you like it or not, and they’ve provided us another peek at Freddy with a new poster. You can check it out after the jump! Continue reading “New poster for A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET”
