I have avoided online venues such as NETFLIX for a reason, I hate not being able to see the movie box before I rent. I enjoy walking through the store and searching for my next film, call me bizarre, call me crazy, it's just how I roll folks. Well, I was given a chance to test out Blockbuster's new online venue, BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE for free so I said why not give it a try. Well, my world is changed and I can tell you this, it will never be the same again. Pretty much, it's NETFLIX with the Blockbuster name on it, and at first glance, you are right. Both allow the customer to order online via the website, both allow you to have up to 3 movies out at  time, and both allow you to simply return them via the pre-stamped envelopes by dropping them in your mail box. They even have the SAME exact DVD slip covers!!!So why the hell should you choose BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE over NETFLIX!?

Good question! It's the one little extra feature that makes it kick ass over it's competitor. The fact you have to send them out and never leave your house is great, but what if you are watching like...Nightmare on Elm Street series, you have the first 3 rented out and you watch them all in one night with your friends. With Netflix...the party stops there unless you feel like waiting 2-3 days for the next 3 in the series to appear. With Blockbuster Online, you drive your ass down to store and automatically get 3 more movies...FREE OF CHARGE!  That's right! I felt like a celebrity going into the store, I picked out my movie, walked up to the front, told them my name...they scanned the BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE envelope...scanned the one I wanted...and bam! I was out of there! No hassle, no 7.99 for a DVD..just a free rental. They send those ones back and before you know it, you have 3 more on your door step. It's that simple ability that gives this the edge over Netflix.

    Let's talk selection shall we? As you know, I am a lover of movies, I have seen thousands upon thousands of films, mainstreme and obscure films. So when I go in search of something to rent, I expect to have to spend a lot of money to find it. So I put this service up to the challange by enlisting such hard to find films like DARIO ARGENTO classics (and out of print) OPERA, and TENEBRE. Also I was able to acquire Brian DePalma's SISTERS which is a insanely rare film to begin with. Blockbuster had it. Some films have a waiting list, such as Argento's Bird of Crystal Plumage which I was able to acquire the bonus disc of but not the actual movie? How about those mainstreme movies though? The ones that are ALWAYS rented out and you can never get unless you feel like renting the RATED FULL SCREEN version of them in stores. Well those are always in online and come in an abundance. Trust me on this folks when I tell you I love this service.

    The website itself is easily navigatable and anyone who can log into AOL can work it. You have several ways of finding movies, through the title, actor's within it, directors, genre and ratings. You can provide your own rating for each film so that the site knows which you think are great, and which are total crap. You can pick I believe up to 30 films to put in your "Quece" which is like a shopping cart. The top 3 go out and when one of those is returned, the next available one goes out. That was one thing I learned, MAKE SURE THE FILM IS AVAILABLE cause otherwise it skips over them until they are. I was expecting SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE 3 and got 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN cause it was out. The site provides pictures of the movies, user reviews, the cast and directors (of which you can click and see other films they have done) as well as the trailer for the film. It's colorful and easy to navigate as well as maintain the films you want to view. Hell, if you hate a film SO much (as I have) you can even click on the cross out symbol on the ratings to ensure you NEVER SEE IT AGAIN! LOL! This came in handy quite a few times let me tell you.

  I have never used NETFLIX so I can't really say it's better from experience but I can tell you, knowing what I know I can make an educated hypothasys on this. It's like playing MONOPOLY, NETFLIX is the regular monopoly with the regulation tokens and the cards and board. BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE is the DELUXE edition of it which comes with extra tokens, an extremely convienent DEED HOLDER and a more durable board. The abiltiy to return the movies to the store is what makes this better! "Doesn't that defeat the purpose though of an ONLINE renting service?" No you impatient moron! Stop interrupting me! In enhances it, you can don't NEED to do that, you don't need to ever bring it in for the free rental! Like I said, it's like Monopoly! You never have to use that handy dandy DEED holder or any of the newer and cooler pieces but at least you have the option to do so. That option worked out great for me, it also enable the horror marathon to go on through out the night! Ask any horror fan and they will know how often horror series turn into 7, 8, 9 films that you can't get all on one night. Imagine paying only ONE fee a month, to rent unlimited rentals, get the first 3, then the next 3 in the series for FREE! You can't go wrong with that my friends! It's win freakin win!

 So listen to this horror lover when he says that BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE is the single best outlet for online renting. Because of this service, I have been able to review so far, 20 films that seemed next to impossible to find/obtain and had it not been for this service, I still wouldn't have ever seen them. Be sure to go to www.blockbuster.com and check out this amazing service! You will not be disappointed! I guarentee it!

BLOCKBUSTER ONLINE's RATING:

Rob Zombie's Halloween FIRST PICS and TEASER TRAILER

That is right folks, Tons of pics have surfaced from the zombie base and I am adding them all in one update instead of 13 small ones. So here are the pics,

The first picture of Malcolm McDowell as Dr. Loomis which doesn't seem that bad. Can't really judge since it's JUST a face shot of him. How about Myers?

So alright, he doesn't look that bad, in fact, he looks creepy in both pics. The mask actually does what the sequels seemed to fail and that is cover his eyes and keep them in the shadows. He does although look a little like Frankenstein's monster though but hey, it can still work. Now we come to little Mikey...

This is where I feel it gets lame...when it's hard to distinguish the sex of your villian from their child pics. I really am not digging how Myers looks like a warped version of Dakota Fanning and feels like it could be a she. This is only a set pic so who knows...let's get to the first official picture of the 3 girls...Laurie, Annie and Lynda!

. . . oooook. Now I love the casting for Dannielle Harris but she looks like the most innocent one of them all in this photo. Laurie looks like she is more slutty than the other two and the third girl (Who is playing Lynda) doesn't look like she fits at all. I don't know what look Zombie is going for here but it's definetly not working over here. Like I have stated before, I am pretty against this remake and all it stands for. I don't think making Myers simply a prodigy of parental abuse is a smart move at all. In fact, it makes him just ANOTHER killer with the "Mommy didn't hug me enough" motive which to me is lame as shit. He is better not knowing what makes him tick and this sets out to explain it, then recreate everything that Carpenter made. So yeah, here is the trailer and I will bitch when the next flock of pictures comes out. Click here for it

Boll's Postal Set to Offend

So Uwe sent me an email the other day with an article from IGN.com that I have below and it's ALL about POSTAL. After reading what is said all I can say is that this movie is going to be insanity on celluloid. I have known Uwe for a little while now and I know how passionate he is about this project for POSTAL and what I can tell you is this, POSTAL is going to be the film that puts Boll on the map in a BIG way cause this is going to be plastered all over TV more than PARIS HILTON is when she makes a bowel movement. He touches on everything in this and it's going to be JUST like the friggin game which shocked the shit out of me with exploding Osama Bin Laden's and the such. Well, enjoy the article from IGN.com.

This ultraviolent comic bloodbath pokes fun at everything from school shootings to 9/11.
Prepare for the uproar.
by Chris Carle
 


 January 25, 2007 - When your movie features a scene of dead schoolchildren, Osama Bin
Laden as a main character, and full frontal nudity from News Radio's Dave Foley, you
know it's not a film for everyone. When you make a movie where 9/11 is played for laughs,
and Columbine is a punchline - even if it is done as a statement - you are sure to arouse
the ire of many.

All of these things occur in Uwe Boll's satirical comedy/gorefest Postal, which is based on
the incendiary PC videogame of the same name (made by Running With Scissors). IGN
recently got a chance to check out footage from the flick, and it may boil down to one of
the most inflammatory pieces of film ever. If it makes it to theaters, expect pickets, threats...
the whole nine.

Boll got his start in Germany directing broad comedies with the fiercely independent
German Fried Movie (aping The Kentucky Fried Movie). Postal is a return of sorts to his
roots, although instead of merely crass nudity and fart jokes, there are sight gags about
Boll getting shot in the junk. which should delight his critics.

What's so raw about the film? It attacks nearly everything Americans - well, everyone -
holds sacred. Whereas other films have tiptoed around 9/11 and school shootings, Postal
plays them off as humorous. Many hold to the philosophy that nothing is off limits in
comedy, but there do seem to be exceptions to the rule, and the aforementioned topics fall
into that category.

What does this all boil down to? The 20 million dollar movie should have no problem
earning its money back on controversy alone.


The plot revolves around Dude (played by Zack Ward), a postal worker who has had enough
and goes on a rampage through the streets of Paradise City. The set-up seems a lot like the
Michael Douglas vehicle Falling Down, but the basic outline is where the similarities end.
Postal is a ridiculously violent, splashy comedy. If you laughed at the gross-out Garbage
Pail Kids or Toxic Avenger movies, you'll be right at home watching this film.

The footage we saw was punctuated by bloody ultra-violence and shocking imagery. An
overhead shot of bloody children laying in a schoolyard was perhaps the most shocking. But
Americans may react even more strongly to the depiction of Bin Laden, who is played as a
media manipulator who rips off one-liners about the attacks on the towers. Is America ready
for broad jokes about national tragedy?

Postal also takes dead aim (pun intended) at American gun culture and seems to be making
a statement about the ease of procuring weapons and how that's leading to violence in the
streets.

But wait. there's more! Foley's character in the production, called Uncle Dave, is a twisted
cult leader who uses his religious doctrine to keep his subjects in a constant state of servitude.
He exploits this by luring them into protracted orgies and other debauchery. In the scenes we
saw, Foley was dressed in an open robe (and we mean open), wandering around the room
barking orders. At the end of the scene, he takes a crap on camera. Yep, it's that kind of movie.
In addition to Foley, the film stars Verne Troyer, who played Mini Me in the Austin Powers
films, Seymour Cassel (Max's father in Rushmore) and Michael Pare.

The film seems to have the pace of a frantic chase movie (a la It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad
World), so on top of being satirical and crass, it also seems high-octane and we're intrigued
to see how this plays in the final cut.

The filmmakers are adamant that it is satire, but have no compunction about offending. In
fact, they intend to challenge and divide audiences, and seem to be ready for the backlash. It's
obvious that everything is played for laughs, but does that make it better or worse? Audiences
will be the final jury. We'll have more on Postal, including news of its distribution, once we
get an indication, so keep your browser pointed to IGN Movies and IGN Games to Film.
 

Wow is all I can say about POSTAL and the subject matter, I think it will be interesting to see the backlash and also, will be interesting to see how much actually gets put in theatres and how much will be added on a uncut DVD. This will be interesting to see and, having been a fan of the game POSTAL 2, can't wait to see the game turned into a feature film! More to come!

HALLOWEEN CASTING COMPLETED AND FILMING BEGAN MONDAY!!

That is right, after all this time it's finally started filming. The cast has been picked, the pre-production finished and it's now time for Rob Zombie to shoot his remake/prequel of John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN.  So who is playing who? What characters made the cut and which ones didn't, and furthermore, who is new? Also, we finally see who is playing Laurie Strode. So...with no further delay...here it is.

So thats the main cast but there are MORE people folks! Such as Adrienne Barbeau, Clint Howard, Courtney Gains and Daryl Sabara. So there you have it, that is the cast of the remake of HALLOWEEN and yes, it's pretty much a HORROR film starring HORROR actors like TDR and I got to admit, I am excited to see these people together on screen but I can't shake hating this project for the sole factor of what it stands for. Bitching won't stop the film, it's going to happen, and it's going to hurt me just as much knowing they are remaking such an amazing film into a gritty exploitation film. Only time will tell what the end result will be....only time.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A month from now, I will have a review of the service for you for I am testing it out as we speak, be sure to check back for that!
 

Finally, we have the indie film, ALONE WITH HER starring Colin Hanks (King Kong) hits the IFC theatre in New York simultaneously with Video On Demand on January 17th!
          
Alone With Her is shot through the eyes and camera lenses of a young man (Doug, played by Colin Hanks) who begins to stalk a beautiful woman (Amy, played by Ana Claudia Talancón). He watches her every action and slowly manipulates her into a relationship. Chilling and creepy, writer/director Eric Nicholas has created a psychological look into an obsessive love-affair and its destructive effects. The film is ingeniously shot through the perspective of the stalker by cinematographer Nathan Wilson.

So I know you all have known that all the small cameo's by Bruce in Sam's movies would some day pay off right? Like if Sam made it big, he would bring his old buddy Bruce to the lime light with him huh!? Well after his pivotal roles in Spider man as RING ANNOUNCER (the man who names Spider man) and in SPIDER MAN 2 as SNOOTY USHER (only person to STOP Spider man) we knew that they were leading to something big!!! Venom? Naah! Mysterio!? Mysteriously negative. How about the long rumored role of LIZARD MAN!!! Well...we aren't exactly sure yet but this is what Bruce had to say on the matter!

"All the Sony lawyers will let me say is that I once again have a pivotal role in the movie and that this time, Spider-man and I team up!" -BC

There you have it folks! Peter Parker and a Ring Announcer who got demoted to being a  Snooty Usher will team up to fight crime! Sounds like a great movie to me folks! It suuuuuuuuure does! We shall keep you posted!

From James who got this from IGN.com~ What is Sam Raimi Doing? IGN has learned that several pulp heroes of yesteryear will be brought to life on the big-screen courtesy of none other than Dark Man and Spider-Man filmmaker Sam Raimi. The project would unite a number of famous pulp heroes from Street and Smith Publications, which had once been among the top pulp publishers.

Characters that we were informed would be included in the film are Doc Savage, The Shadow and The Avenger, and quite possibly other (or all) major Street and Smith characters. Street and Smith's titles included The Wizard & Cash Gorman, Crime Busters, The Skipper, The Whisperer, Bill Barnes Air Trails, Nick Carter Magazine, Pete Rice Magazine and Unknown, as well as other crime and Western books.

Additional sources advised us that Raimi is directing the project, which IGN was told would be written by a screenwriter named Siavash Farahani (Ingenue). Farahani, we were also advised, wrote a screenplay for a big-screen version of the CrossGen comic Ruse for Disney.

The Shadow was previously brought to the screen in 1994 with Alec Baldwin as the title character. A Doc Savage movie had long been in-development, attracting the likes of Arnold Schwarzeneggar, James Cameron and Frank Darabont at various points.

Funny new Video from Zachariah!

Alright, so you all been wondering whatever happened to that singing cowboy from DEAD AND BREAKFAST, Mr. Zachariah Selwyn? Well I just got a video from him that is posted on YOUTUBE, the song is hysterical and his new CD is coming out soon, not exactly sure when but I can't wait for it. Here is his song C.I.L.F (Cartoon's I'd Like To Fuck) By Zachariah Selwyn!

     That is the synopsis of the movie, and here is the clip from it! http://www.postal-the-movie.com/clip1.html

Uwe also sent me a link to an AOL interview that he was a part of, something that give alot of incite to DUNGEON SIEGE, POSTAL, and his new sequel to BLOODRAYNE, BLOODRAYNE II: DELIVERANCE. So click here to read up on it!

PLUS Uwe has sent out a personal message to BOLL FANS as well as BOLL HATERS, this is his own words, not mine.

"To all my haters etc. ...  !  I don't have rich parents. I don't have contacts to Hollywood. I worked my way up and I worked hard.

I know you don't like HOUSE OF THE DEAD , ALONE IN THE DARK and BLOODRAYNE  - but do me one favor - the only favor you ever do me in your life:   Please, give POSTAL and IN THE NAME OF THE KING  a fighting chance. Before you trash me further - wait till these movies come out and see it OBJECTIVELY (try it at least)   - give it a shot. And then judge and write what you want. If afterword, you think, if you feel: this was it, this was actually a fucking great movie - but its from Uwe so I cannot write positive feedback - then jump over your own shadow and support the movie.

I need support. I have been fighting for 7 years against the Hollywood System with all the dick talkers, assholes and thieves in Beverly Hills. And if I actually make a great movie - then its on YOU to have the balls to help me with your voice, your vote, your article.

Thank you, Uwe Boll"

Now I want to say something myself about this whole thing. I first came into contact with Dr. Boll when I saw HOUSE OF THE DEAD in theatres and to anyone who has visited this site will recall my utter hatred for that movie. I threatened Uwe's life in the review several times and if you don't believe me, read the review here. When I asked Uwe for an interview though, he read that review and even after seeing the mean things I said, STILL did the interview with me which was really big of him. Later on, when ALONE IN THE DARK came out, I gave him a fair chance and I went into that movie open minded. ALONE IN THE DARK was a flawed movie but it was still a step up from HOUSE OF THE DEAD and I gave him a FAIR review for that movie. Uwe later on offered me an oppurtunity, a chance to come up to Vancouver and help re-edit HOUSE OF THE DEAD into a funny version, he offered to pay for my flight and stay and what not so I of course agreed to go.

    When I arrived in Vancouver, I spent a week hanging out at BRIGHTLIGHT STUDIO's where he was working hard on pre-production work for DUNGEON SIEGE, got to meet the man behind all the movies and all the press. The man I had threatened to kill if he ever made a sequel to HOUSE OF THE DEAD. What I found out was that Uwe is first off, a really intelligent person who knows A TON about film and movies. People make fun of his spelling errors but keep in mind, English is not his first langauge, the man spoke great english in person, he may in fact be the single kindest person in the industry. This is a man who actually CARES about what his fans think, he responds to emails, reads message boards and takes interest in what other people think. If you ask ANY actor who has ever worked with him, you will hear only the best of things from them about Dr. Boll and that is because he isn't the BOLL HATERS have made him out to be. He isn't some moron who has connections every place, he isn't some hollywood kiss ass, and no, he is NOT some made up character people created like the Boogeyman or Patrick Duffy! He is someone who has been making movies, raising his own money for years and has made it. He shares the spotlight with people who threaten him, he puts people who bash him left and right into movies like POSTAL and only asks for a FAIR chance. Not 300 negative posts on IMDB about his movie when only 150 people were at a test screening of which the majority of people who attended enjoyed it!

    I was once someone who damned the name UWE BOLL and yes, hoped he died and what not. When I left Vancouver and met the man behind all this, I couldn't believe I had ever thought those things. Let's face it NO director is perfect, they all have bad movies! Wes Craven has CURSED, Tobe Hooper has CROCODILE,  Roland Emmerich has GODZILLA (1998), Wolfgang Peterson has POSIEDON (2006), in the end, everyone gives these guys another chance. Uwe is only asking for the same thing with his upcoming films, he isn't asking for you to go out and lie and say you love it if you don't. He isn't asking you to go and say he is the next Steven Spielberg, all he is asking is that you give his upcoming movies, POSTAL, IN THE NAME OF THE KING, and SEED a fighting chance! Don't go in pre-hating the movie, or bashing him before you see it. Myself, I personally enjoyed Bloodrayne for what it was, a FUN movie with tons of gore, nice visuals, and a steamy sex scene. So give the guy a chance will ya? If someone like me can give him a chance, so can you. That's all I wanted to say.

 

We also have a couple of DVD releases, one is for the american remake of PULSE which hits December 5th on DVD in an UNRATED DVD.

The following  news segment is brought to you by JAMES TEVLIN:

Hostel: Part II
The Hostel Part 2 site is now up and running. You can check it out at www.hostel2.com. While studying art in Rome for the summer, three young American women (German, Matarazzo, Phillips) are lured away to a Slovakian hostel by a model from their class. Soon they will experience the grim reality their weekend getaway has in store.

28 Weeks Sooner
May 11, 2007 is the release date for the Sequel. Danny Boyle, Alex Garland and Andrew Macdonald are back together and lead by director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo in this exciting film that takes place six months after the rage virus has annihilated the British Isles. The US Army declares that the war against infection has been won, and that the reconstruction of the country can begin. In the first wave of returning refugees, a family is reunited, but one of them unwittingly carries a terrible secret. The virus is not yet dead, and this time, it is more dangerous than ever. The team over at fox atomic has released some raw footage and clips that look neat. Check em' out by clicking here!

The Rage is coming
A crazed scientist experimenting with a rage virus on innocent victims in a laboratory in the woods. When his monstrous subjects escape and vultures devour their remains, they became mutations seeking to feed on humans. With a long list of great horror names linked or involved in this project, I can't wait to see the final results. Over at www.theragefilm.com you can check out the teaser and read more about it.

Plane Dead more like Lame Dead
RELEASE DATE: 2007

Seems strange to me that this movie resembles ideas that have been floating around Romero for a few years. With projects like Red Eye (same title as the Craven film…different movie) and Diamond Dead that involved rock-band-zombies and criminal-prisoner zombies both on flights, I like how original this film was in using the exact same idea. Apparent snakes aren't the only thing to worry about these days. Despite my unhappiness surrounding the Romero rip off, the trailer doesn't look too bad. (I guess you can shoot automatic machine guns on planes and nothing will happen) But either way, you can see for yourself over at www.planedeadthemovie.com. It doesn't look too too bad even with such a terrible poster art.

 

Diary of Diary of the Dead
Over at BD, they have somehow managed to break pictures and a short production diary that was on myspace. After their near catastrophe of Romero's hospital visit I'm shocked they wanted to touch this story without press released signed and stamped with approval of Romero or Roe. But to any extent, if you check out http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/7592 and http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/7656 you will be able to see some nice picture and raw footage of what might be Diary. But take this with a grain of salt.
 

The Hills Have Eyes 2 footage.

RELEASE DATE: March 2, 2007

The film will revolve around a team of National Guard cadets that stop at a desert outpost to deliver equipment to military scientists, but when they arrive at the research camp they discover that it's mysteriously deserted. After hearing a distress call on their walkies, they set off on what they think is a simple rescue mission into the hills - only to find a tribe of mutants, damaged by nuclear testing, who lie in wait for them. Again, over at FOX ATOMICS  you can see some nice clips of the upcoming film. In addition to this, it appears that the poster had been rejected by the MPAA. A nice little prechristmas buzz hasn't hurt any film now has it?

SYNOPSIS

Last January, writer/director Eli Roth terrified moviegoers with the blood-drenched HOSTEL, which catapulted to the top of the box office charts and became the first Number One film of 2006.   One year later, Roth takes us back to where it all began, and deeper into the darkest recesses of the human mind. 
    In HOSTEL: PART II, three young Americans studying in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their art classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate. 
    Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for?  Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?
With Hostel, Eli Roth cemented the cutting-edge credentials he earned with his debut feature Cabin Fever (2002).  In HOSTEL: PART II, Roth invites fans to take another frightening trip where suppressed urges – once unleashed – have chilling consequences.

I personally wasn't a big fan of the original Hostel, film was half EUROTRIP, half GORE and thats it. I felt very let down with the film that people were ranting on and on about being the MOST INTENSE FILM OF ALL TIME. Personally, i'm not to excited to see this but hey, it's horror so I will be there.

DAY OF THE DEAD REMAKE TRAILER:

Thanks to James, I got a trailer for the new remake from DAY OF THE DEAD and when he first sent it to me, I began watching it. I paused it and asked him why he sent me a trailer for RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD 5: NECROPOLIS...he then told me it wasn't and to keep watching. Sure enough VING RHAMES appears, then Mena Suvari...then...Nick Cannon showed his ugly face and yeah...this movie will suck. Well, without any further ado, here is the DAY OF THE DEAD REMAKE trailer

There you have it, so for those of you who haven't hung themselves from watching that (and for those who did, I hope you closed the site so I won't get blamed and sued by your loved ones!) I want to wish you a very HAPPY HALLOWEEN. Thank you for coming to my site all these years, and keep coming back for this year will be the biggest. We have 7 more BIG named interviews coming your way over the next few weeks, as well as more contests, reviews and tons of other things for you all!

The Mummy 3? Who Cares?

Planet Terror+Death Proof=GRIND HOUSE?aka?Going to be amazing.

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino?s double features are beginning to come together.(Pun intended). Rodriguez's movie is called PLANET TERROR, while Tarantino?s movie is DEATH PROOF. In addition to the previously noted cast Kurt Russell and Zoe Bell, Rosario Dawson, Vanessa Ferlito, Jordan Ladd, Rose McGowan, Sydney Tamiia Poitier, Marley Shelton, Tracie Thoms and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Tarantino has cast ELI ?CABIN FEVER? ROTH, Michael Bacall and Omar Doom. The cast for Rodriguez's PLANET TERROR has been announced to be Freddy Rodriguez, Rose McGowan, Josh Brolin, Naveen Andrews, Marley Shelton, Michael Biehn, Fergie, Jeff Fahey, and Michael Parks. GRINDHOUSE is being shot in the tradition of the 70?s exploitation films that have influenced both Rodriguez and Tarantino and can often be seen somewhat in their previous films. Tarantino began shooting DEATH PROOF in Austin, Texas on August 21st and it was reported that Rodriguez recently completed principal photography on PLANET TERROR. Coming Easter weekend, April 6, 2007.


When there?s no more room in hell?the dead will walk in?Canada.


It was reported that Diary of the Dead will be shot in Ontario, Canada, very similar to how LOTD was shot. Sorry PA!! I?m sure Romero hasn?t forgotten about you. This comes after Romero?s slight frustration with working in that system and desire to return to the independent horror scene.? The story is set to follow a group of college students shooting a horror movie in the woods who stumble upon a real zombie uprising. When the onslaught begins, they seize the moment as any good film students would, capturing the undead in a "cinema verite" style. This is a style of filmmaking, combining naturalistic techniques that originated in documentary filmmaking, with the storytelling elements typical of a scripted film. It is also known for taking a provocative stance toward its topics. The name is French and means, roughly, "cinema of truth". The movie will be produced by Romero-Grunwald Productions together with Artfire Films. Worldwide sales rights have been picked up by Voltage Pictures. Great news for horror fans that after a 15+ year run without a Romero Zombie film (Real Zombie Film), we?re being hit twice in such a short time.?

Fido Clip!!!


Starring Carrie-Anne Moss and Billy Connolly and being released by Lionsgate Films this year, Fido clips finally hit the web.
Welcome to Willard, a small town lost in the idyllic world of the 50's, where the sun shines every day, everybody knows their neighbor, and rotting zombies deliver the mail.
Years ago, the earth passed through a cloud of space dust, causing the dead to rise with a craving for human flesh. A war began, pitting the living against the dead. In the ensuing revolution, a corporation was born: ZomCon, who defeated the legions of undead, and domesticated the zombies, making them our industrial workers, our domestic servants - a productive part of society. ZomCon would like the people of Willard to believe they have everything under control? but do they?
Timmy Robinson doesn't think so. At eleven, Timmy already knows the world is phony baloney - Mom and Dad just won't admit it. Now ZomCon's head of security has moved in across the street, and Timmy's Mom refuses to be the only housewife on the block who doesn't have a zombie of her own. When she brings a zombie servant home, Timmy discovers a new best friend, and names him Fido. And even though Dad has a bad case of zombie-phobia, Timmy is determined to keep Fido, even if he does eat the odd person...
Sometimes, it takes a dead man to teach us all what it means to be alive.
