Two Sisters Struggle To Survive In The Trailer For ’12 Feet Deep’

With summer approaching, a lot of films feature settings like the beach, the ocean, or camps on a lake. 12 Feet Deep is going a different route, sort of. Formerly titled The Deep End, 12 Feet Deep aims a little closer to home, a swimming pool. Seems pretty safe right? In this true-life-inspired thriller, two sisters go for a swim and end up in fight for survival after they are trapped beneath the pool’s cover. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Matt Eskandari and co-written by Michael Hultguist, the film stars Saw’s Tobin Bell, Diane Farr, Nora-Jones Noone, Alexandra Park, Donald Prince, and Christian Kain Blackburn.

AMC Adapting Joe Hill’s ‘NOS4R2’ For A TV Series

Stephen King adaptions are everywhere these days (not that we’re complaining). King’s son, Joe Hill, has inherited his father’s talent. AMC has noticed and has put into development a TV series based on Hill’s third novel, NOS4A2 (Nosferatu). The New York Times bestseller, a supernatural thriller, centers on Victoria McQueen, a woman with a gift for finding things. She sets out on a mission to find a superhuman kidnapper and rescue his victims. According to The Wrap, AMC has begun a writers’ room for the series, part of AMC’s script-to-series model that appoints a group of writers to produce a “season bible” and write multiple episodes. After those are complete the network will decide if it wants to go ahead with the show. Jami O’Brien will serve as executive producer for the series which is a co-production of AMC Studios and Tornate.

Another Spin-Off For The Conjuring 2 ?

The Conjuring is headed towards being the franchise with the most spin-offs in history. There is possibly another spin-off on its way. And no, I’m not talking about Annabelle 2: Creation or The Nun. Annabelle: Creation producer Peter Safran said something very interesting while talking with JoBlo recently. He said that it is a possibility that the “Crooked Man” from The Conjuring 2 may get a film of his own. “…I suspect a movie with him would be really really cool.” He continued, “…we have some interesting ideas for him. So we’ll see.” The creepy long-legged entity, played by Javier Botet, was not CGI like many thought. That was just Botet in a skin tight suit. Safran explains, “None of it was CG. It was 100% practical. That actor just looks like that, we created an amazing wardrobe for him. Skin tight latex-basically suit.” I could definitely see a whole film based on the character, he is creepy as hell.

‘Z Nation’ Releases Prequel Comic – A Review Of Volume 1

Horror comics are the best aren’t they? We could definitely use more of them. If you feel the same way, we’ve got good news. Syfy’s hit zombie series Z Nation, from The Asylum, has a brand new six-part comic, titled Z Nation: Black Summer, that serves as a prequel for the show. I had the pleasure of checking out the first volume and I was not disappointed. Z Nation co-creator Craig Engler and Fred Van Lente serve as writers for the comic with fantastic art by Edu Menna and colors by Sal Aiala. Simon Bowland did the letters, and Joseph Rybandt edited with the assistance of Kevin Kitner.
