Horror Headlines: Monday, November 17th, 2008
Dark Castle's next film will be titled "Summoner", and sounds like the same old supernatural crap they've been toying with for years now. But at least it's not another remake, I guess.
Simon Pegg to star in movie called "Paul", which is about a couple of British fanboys who visit area 51 after leaving Comic-Con, and meet a tiny alien along the way. Yes, that is all true. It's also being co-produced by Edgar Wright ("Shaun of the Dead"), and Greg Motolla ("Superbad").
These are pics of Mezco toys line from the new "Friday the 13th" remake, specifically, one Jason with a hockey mask and one with a burlap sack. Looks like they're going all out with recreating aspects from the first three films.
If you can stand to read it without banging your head on the wall, here's "Cloverfield" director Matt Reeves talkin about his remake of the Swedish film "Let the Right One in".
The directors of "Inside" are officially OFF the "Halloween" remake sequel. How many people have they run off at this point? Rumor has it that Weinstein's would now like Rob Zombie to produce, with an unnamed director to be chosen in the future.
The company making the "Saw" video game has gone out of business, leaving the title in limbo.
Herbert West: Reanimator TV series? It will be a combination of the "Reanimator" mythos with themes from Lovecraft's earlier works and some scifi thrown in for good measure. The pilot will shoot in 2009 and presumably look to be picked up from there.
First that chick carving the "B" in her face during the Presidential campaign, now a girl in Germany has admitted to making up a story about being attacked by Neo-Nazis, complete with carving a swastika in her own leg. Is this some kind of trend I'm unaware of?
Woman divorces husband for cheating on her... in Second Life. Really only worth reading for the hilarious side by side pictures of the people and their avatars. Really?
So some French dude thinks he knows how the ancient Egyptians built the pyramids. I don't know, I still say E.T. was involved.
1796: Empress Catherine the Great dies of a stroke while sitting on the toilet. How regal!
