Welcome back friends. It's been a while since there's been anything worthwhile to report on, but today there's been some interesting news, and I'm here to deliver the goods! Read on for the details and stay creepy!
Saw Franchise - Over the years, franchise creators James Wan (director) and Leigh Whannell (writer/star) have been open about their desires to return to the series they created back in 2004. Wan has gone as far as to state that the first film was only 30% what he envisioned (budget and time affected it).
With the release of Insidious, Wan and Whannell spoke with IGN about their want to end the game "the right way." Also, there's a Billy (the puppet) drawing in the background of the classroom in the duo's Insidious and sports a drawing of a #8 underneath. An interesting prospect, no?
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter - Rufus Sewell - star of the brilliantly dark and gothic Dark City has landed the role of "Adam," the lead vampire villain, in 20th Century Fox's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, reports Variety. Sewell joins Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Dominic Cooper in the Timur Bekmambetov summer tentpole.
Based on the bestselling book by Seth Grahame-Smith, the film "revolves around the president's quest to rid the world of vampires, presented as the real conflict behind the Civil War." Bekmambetov will co-produce with Tim Burton and Jim Lemley.
House On The Edge Of The Park II - Back in February word broke that North Bank Entertainment has teamed up with legendary Italian director Ruggero Deodato (Cannibal Holocaust) and actor Giovanni Lombardo Radice (City of the Living Dead) to develop a sequel to the 1980 cult film The House on the Edge of the Park. The good folks over at Bloody Disgusting have now managed to snag two new posters from the upcoming film. Major props go out to them for managing to get a hold of these two creepy ass posters. They're posted for you below. Again, stop by Bloody Disgusting and show those folks some love. They're definitely at the top of the horror movie scene.
The screenplay is being written by Andrew Jones, from a story by Ruggero Deodato and Giovanni Lombardo Radice. The film will be produced by Ian Grey and Andrew Jones for North Bank Entertainment. Ruggero Deodato will direct the film, with Giovanni Lombardo Radice reprising his role as 'Ricky'.
In the first film also starring David Hess, two lowlife punks invite themselves to a party at a posh villa and after being taunted by their snobbish hosts, hold everybody hostage and subject them to various torture and mayhem.
The sequel begins "After thirty years at the mercy of a brutal Warden in Sing Sing prison, Ricky is released and returns to the old garage in New York City. Desperate for a place to belong, he falls in with a dangerous sociopath named The Poet and his blood thirsty girlfriend Muriel. But the memories of Ricky's old friend Alex continue to haunt him."
Sounds promising and Deodato is certainly a master of horror who's return is more than overdue.
