Hey there kiddies! Welcome back to the dungeon, you're home away from home. As usual, I've sought out some interesting stories for you fright fanatics, and I've got them for you below!
Leatherface 3D - Bloody Disgusting received exclusive word that John Luessenhop is in talks to direct Lionsgate's Leatherface 3D, the sequel to the Platinum Dunes produced Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake that was released via New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures. Luessenhop was behind Takers, which "starred" Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Matt Dillon.
Debra Sullivan, Adam Marcus and Stephen Susco have turned in drafts the third Chainsaw flick that supposedly picks up immediately where Tobe Hooper's original left off before flashing forward 35 years!!!
Pride, Prejudice and Zombies - After much debate and going through several directors, Lionsgate has officially announced Craig Gillespie as the director in the Natalie Portman produced Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.
The project mixes Jane Austen's 1813 classic novel "Pride and Prejudice," centering on Elizabeth Bennet's quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a virus that turns the dead into zombies. The story's set in an alternate version of 19th Century England that features deadly ancestors roaming the countryside.
This brings us one step closer to actually seeing this on the big screen! I'm just happy they finally locked a friggin' director!
The Passage - Fox 2000 has set Matt Reeves (Let Me In, Cloverfield) to direct The Passage, the film based on the bestselling Justin Cronin novel about an experiment that goes awry and creates a swarm of bloodthirsty vampires that brings the world to the brink of extinction, reports Deadline. Fox acquired the book in 2007 for north of $3 million right after Cronin made a 3-book deal with Ballantine for $3.75 million based on the first 400 pages of the book and an outline for a novel series.
"In 'The Passage', a group of terminally ill cancer patients get healthy after being subjected to the bites of bats in South America. Naturally, the government see this as a cure for the disease and starts experimenting. They end up with a legion of nearly indestructible, telepathic vampire masters that begin infecting the populace." The tone is closer to 28 Days Later and "The Stand" than Let The Right One In or Twilight Saga.
Reeves will supervise a rewrite of a script done by John Logan.
Reeves will also adapt a film based on the Ray Nelson short story "8 O'Clock in the Morning" for Universal, about a man who awakens to realize he and others are being controlled by aliens. It's a quasi-remake of They Live.
