Horror Headlines: Monday December 22nd, 2008

Great news... now that Rob Zombie is on to making "Halloween 2" instead of "Tyranosaurus Rex", he's still sending out bullshit pieces of "concept art". I am so excited I can hardly contain myself.

James Cameron to direct "Forbidden Planet" remake? I figured he'd rest on his laurels after the inevitable success of "Avatar", the massively epic scifi film he's currently working on. Also at the link, IESB has scored a whole mess of details on the project.

Paul Anderson talks Castlevania feature film. The gist? There will be a whip, it will focus on the Belmont clan taking on Dracula, it will be set mostly in a castle, and the looming SAG strike could put a crimp in the whole plan. As much of a trainwreck as I think this has the potential to be, I'm still too much of a Castelvania fanboy not to want to see it happen so, expect more news as it comes in.

On September 18th, 2009, we'll all be able to check out "Jennifer's Body", starring Megan Fox and written/directed by "Juno" scribe Diablo Cody. The film is about Fox (a cheerleader), becoming possessed by a demon that causes her to start picking off the town's men one by one. She's finally killed by her friend, who must then escape from jail and track down the satanic rock band who caused all the ruckus in the first place. Whew... that's a mouthful. It will greatly depend on the tone taken, but I think this project has a lot of potential. As long as no one says "honest to blog" and Rainn Wilson doesn't show up anywhere, I'll be a happy camper.

Platinum Dunes will not be remaking "Rosemary's Baby", despite the fact that it was announced last year. The reason stated is that the producers felt that they could not bring anything new or relevant to the story. That may be the sanest thing to ever come out of a company run by Michael Bay. Also in the story, they're still working on a script for "The Birds" remake, but are similarly waiting to see if they can do it right before greenlighting the project 100%.

In Real People News: 

Plane attempts to land in cow pasture, hits a cow, and both parties are only slightly worse for wear. Amazing.

Woman arrested for selling pierced "Gothic Kittens". So, having a pierced ear makes them gothic? Nevermind that though, the real question is how did she get them to smoke ciagrettes and sway side to side to music?

Man gets stabbed in the face with a broken bottle at a club, the contents of his eye spill all over the dancefloor. Yes, I said "the contents of his eye". Thank God I was late with the news today, otherwise I'd be digging into my eggs right about now.

Woman has over 200 orgasms a day, as a result of pretty much any kind of external stimulus. No matter what happens to her in the next three days, It's a pretty safe bet she's going to have a pretty fantastic Christmas.

On this day in history: 

2001: Richard Reid attempts to blow up an American Airlines transatlantic flight by igniting a plastic explosive concealed in his shoe.
