Horror News - Resident Evil 5, 11-11-11, and SyFy channel originals!

Resident Evil 5
Fans of zombies and kick ass women rejoice! It has been announced that Resident Evil 5 will come to fruition! Originally it was rumored that the franchise would be rebooted and titled Resident Evil Begins. However, Sienna Guillory, who played Jill Valentine in the other films has debunked this on her Twitter account. Here's what she had to say:

"RE:5 alert! Training begins! I aim to mostly put less in the big hole on the front of my face than comes out of the little one on my arse."  There's no word on a director or whether Milla Jovovich will return as Alice. Regardless, the studio has set a release date of September 14, 2012. And again, the film will be released in 3D. Shocker, right?

11-11-11
Darren Lynn Bousman, the man behind Saw II-IV has been hard at work lately. After leaving the Saw franchise, he directed Repo! The Genetic Opera, as well as the upcoming 11-11-11 and Mother's Day. A new trailer has been release which features some pretty interesting footage. Many people are comparing the film to Knowing and Number 23, but I think it actually sounds pretty damn intriguing. In my opinion, Bousman gave us one of the best Saw installments, and I thoroughly enjoyed Repo, so I'm interested in seeing what he has in store for us.

 "After the tragic death of his wife and child, famed American author Joseph Crone travels from the United States to Barcelona, Spain to reunite with his enstranged brother Samuel and dying father, Richard. However, fate has a different plan for Joseph as his life becomes plagued with strange happenings, and the constant sightings of the number 11. Curiosity quickly turns to obsession, and Joseph soon realizes that this number holds a horrific meaning not only to himself but possibly to all of religion. Isolated in a foreign country with only the support of his companion, Sadie, Joseph soon realizes that 11/11/11 is more than just a date, it's a WARNING!"

Correction Folks. There has been some trouble with the new trailer, which has been temporarily removed off of all websites, including youtube. As soon as it's available, I'll post it for you. In the meantime, here's the original teaser for you.


SyFy Channel
The SyFy channel has had some luck with it's original programming lately. Several other stations have begun work on horror/supernatural related shows so SyFy must have figured it was time to up their game. They have recently announced that they will add 3 more shows to it's slate. These shows will be joining Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, Face/Off, Fact or Faked and Destination Truth. Read on for the details:

"Haunted Collector," a working title, centers on a family of renowned paranormal investigators who spend its time tracking down haunted items. The family then houses its collections -- think guns, jewelry, paintings and dolls -- in its museum. The series is from Gurney Prods.' Scott Gurney and Deirdre Gurney.

"Paranormal Witness," a drama-documentary series that will bring to life the stories of people who claim to have lived through paranormal experiences. Episodes will feature a mixture of first-hand testimony and gritty drama. Set to premiere in September.
