Director David Fincher Gives An Update On ‘World War Z 2’

David Fincher, who will be directing the upcoming sequel to 2013’s zombie outbreak film World War Z, recently gave Little White Lies an update on the sequel’s progress. We’re hoping to get a piece of material that’s a reason to make a movie not an excuse to make a movie,” Fincher recently told Collider, indicating that he’s taking his time with the development process to make sure the sequel is one of worth.” He told Little White Lies that, “We’re trying. A lot of stones have been laid. We’re just deconstructing it right now against the mythology that exists to see where we can go.” It sounds like it will be a while before we see World War Z 2, but the fact that he’s taking the time to find a film worthy script is good news. The better the script, the better the movie. Brad Pitt, who starred as the main character U.N. investigator Gerry Lane in the original

Character Revealed For TWD/FTWD ‘Worlds Collide’ Crossover

Following tonight’s episode of ‘The Walking Dead’ on AMC, the aftershow ‘Talking Dead’ aired revealing the identity of the cross-over character who will bridge the two series. Early in the episode viewers were told that later in the show we would find out who the character is via a live-video. Sure enough, when the screen came on there sat Lennie James whose character Morgan will make the leap from ‘The Walking Dead’ to its sister show ‘Fear the Walking Dead’. James appeared via satellite due to the fact that he could not make it to the ‘Talking Dead’ set because he begins filming for ‘FTWD’ tomorrow in Austin, Texas. Season 8 of ‘TWD’ only wrapped filming a week ago. While other details remain under wraps. It hasn’t been made clear if the crossover will be on the same timeline as ‘TWD’ at this point. With filming just beginning on his part of the younger series it would leave the crossover

Martian Insanity In ‘Moons Of Madness’

Norwegian game developer Rock Pocket Games is sending gamers to Mars where Lovecraftian horrors await in ‘Moons of Madness’. The game is a first-person psychological horror story where players take on the role of astronaut Shane Newhart who encounters supernatural events at the first research station on the red planet. The game takes a twist on the insanity element of the game where developers came up with a “Zone-Out” mechanic where players see through Shane’s eyes a mix of Shane’s past, events that have not happened yet or things Shane should not know but now does. These Zone-Out events are to add to the anxiety of the game for players making them question what information they are getting from these unique hallucinations are real or not. Keeping with true Lovecraft elements, when humanity thinks it understands the universe it throws a horrific curveball, exploring the unknown without really being prepared for it, ‘Moons of Madness’ is set to be released

Movie Review: Beyond the Seventh Door Lies a Fright Flick Well Worth Watching

Beyond the Seventh Door begins with one long ass montage of career criminal Boris (who’s hat is festooned with a large yellow “B” just so we can remember who he is, although how we could forget a man that looks like the unholy union of Billy Drago and Angus Young is beyond me). Anyway, Big B convinces his girlfriend to help him rob her Scrooge McDuck of a boss…which should be easy for a seasoned pro like Boris, but the fact that the boss’ treasure is hidden within a trap laden castle makes things a P.H. more tricky. In a case of being right on the nose; our “heroes” have to traverse six deadly rooms before they can claim the fortune that lies…beyond the seventh door (cue thunder crashing). Made for roughly the same price as a plate of poutine (and comin’ from the same Great White North), and starring a man, Lazar Rockwood by name, that would make the
