R Rated ‘Deep Blue Sea 2’ Coming In 2018

Earlier this year we reported that a sequel to 1999’s killer shark movie Deep Blue Sea was in the works. The sequel, which filmed this summer in Cape Town, South Africa, has received a 2018 release and an R rating for “creature violence, gore, and for language” UHM is reporting. Darin Scott (Tales from the Hood) is in the director’s chair for the sequel, simply titled Deep Blue Sea 2. Michael Beach, Rob Mayes, Danielle Savre, Nathan Lynn, and Darron Meyer star. Erik Patterson, Hans Rodionoff, and Jessica Scott penned the script. According to Syfy, “The plot kicks off with shark conservationist Dr. Misty Calhoun invited to consult on a top-secret project run by pharmaceutical billionaire Carl Durant (Beach). Calhoun is shocked to learn that the company is using the unpredictable and highly aggressive bull sharks as its test subjects. You can probably guess where this goes next, and Warner Bros. teases some “personality” from the sharks that’ll be menacing

Pick Up Your Copy Of ‘Once Upon A Time At Christmas’ Just In Time For the Holidays

Christmas is right around the corner and so is the release of Once Upon a Time at Christmas, the new violence-fueled holiday film from director Paul Tanter. Sayla de Goede and Simon Philips star as the way too jolly, murderous couple. Brook Fletcher, Laurel Brady, Jeff Ellenberger, Devon Mary Doherty, and Christina Vernucci co-star. Christopher Jolley, Simon Philips, and Paul Tanter penned the script. The film hails from the team behind The Last Scout, White Collar Hooligan series, and the vampiric TV series Age of the Living Dead. In the film we meet Santa and Mrs. Claus: he’s a one-eyed fiend, she’s a curvy, bat-swinging blonde. This serial-killer couple is terrorizing the holidays in an upstate New York town with a series of horrific homicides. Though the victims seem random — a mall Santa, a smooching couple, an innocent family — high-schooler Jennifer and clever cop Sam begin to unravel the sinister pattern behind the slayings. Can they stop the

The Walking Dead’s Chandler Riggs Finds Second Career…In Music

It appears The Walking Dead’s golden boy, Chandler Riggs is branching out. While earning his acting cred as Carl Grimes, son of Sheriff Rick Grimes, it seems Riggs has now acted on his interest in the music industry. Riggs has been DJing at events nationwide including the annual Walker Stalker Cruise. Riggs has teamed up with Lolaby to release his first song, titled “Hold On” which he has spent over a year creating. “Hold On” is now available on Spotify and several other sites. This was an amazing co-write between myself and the ever so talented Chandler Riggs.” Lolaby said. Before you jump to conclusions, you should know that this doesn’t necessarily mean his character Carl is on the chopping block anytime soon. Most of the cast of the hit series work on other projects when not filming ‘TWD’. I will say this, the fact that he’s not DJing under the name Carl Poppa is a bit disappointing. Check out

Writer-Director Larry Brand Talks ‘Young Charlie’ (Manson) & ‘Halloween: Resurrection’ In Our Interview

I had the pleasure of speaking with writer-director Larry Brand, who has written many films including Halloween: Resurrection, Paranoia, and The Girl on the Train which he also directed. Brand talked with us about his part of the Holloween franchise as well as one of his most recent projects, the second season of ‘Hollywood & Crime’, titled ‘Young Charlie’. With Charles Manson’s recent passing it is the perfect time to delve into Charles’ life. Brand has incredible insight into Manson’s past and was willing to let me pick his brain about the cult leader who left a path of destruction in his wake. Horror Fuel: “How did you come to write the Young Charlie series?” Larry Brand: “My film producing partners Rebecca Reynolds and Jim Carpenter have been producing a podcast series called Hollywood & Crime for Wondery for the last year-and-a-half. It was created it with Jon Ponder and Tracy Pattin, the host of the show. The first season

Ridley Scott Planning Another ‘Alien’ Film

Fans of the Alien franchise will be happy to learn that even though critics weren’t a big fan of Alien: Covenant, Ridley Scott has not given up on the franchise. In fact, he still has plans to make another film. Even though Scott has several projects underway, including re-shooting scenes from All the Money thanks to Kevin Spacey being replaced after sexual harassment allegations, and preparing for his next film which is an adaption of Don Winslow’s The Cartel, Scott has definite plans to continue the Alien franchise. Scott told EW about his plan: We are [going to make another], we are. I think what we have to do is gradually drift away from the alien stuff.” He continued, “People say,’You need more chest bursting,’ so I put a lot of that in Covenant and it fit nicely. But I think if you go again you need to start finding another solution that is more interesting. I think AI is
