Dylan Dog Getting A TV Series Adaption

The comic book series ‘Dylan Dog’ was adapted into feature film back in 2010 under the title ‘Dylan Dog: Dead of Night’, starring Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) as Dylan. The film was released without much buzz, but turned out to be pretty good. Now, Italian horror writer Tiziano Scalavi, who was behind the genre classic ‘Cemetery Man’, is bringing ‘Dylan Dog’ to life in a new independent series. The film follows “Dylan”, a man who investigates paranormal and supernatural cases. The upcoming series will follow the tracks as the movie, according to Bloody-Disgusting. The pilot episode, titled “Dream of the Living Dead”, will be directed by Kevin Kopacka (Everyonce), off of the script he co-wrote with Alex Bakshaev. We’ve finished shooting the pilot and are currently in post production. Hopefully we’ll get to release it around March 2017. Expect it to be a mixture of the Dylan comics “L’alba dei morti viventi” and “Morgana” with nods to Italian classic horror

Josh Mikel Talks About Being One Of Negan’s Saviors And Other Roles In An Interview

I had the pleasure of talking with actor Josh Mikel about many aspects of his acting career, including his role on ‘The Walking Dead’ season 7. He may play a bad guy well, but he comes across as the exact opposite in real life. Not only does he have only positive things to say about his co-stars and directors, he seems to truly love acting and the art of it, not just having his name in the credits. Horror Fuel: “You appeared in the Sundance series Rectify. What was it like to be part of a story about a man falsely convicted and sentenced to death row ?” JM: “While I am interested in the subject matter of the show (I’m very much of the opinion that there is a huge need for prison reform in this country), I think what attracted me to Rectify was more the divine auspices that brought a show like that into the world. Created

New Image Of Katherine Waterston From Alien: Covenant Gives Off A Serious Ripley Vibe

The first image of Katherine Waterston has landed from ‘Alien: Covenant’, via Entertainment Weekly, and she gives off a serious Ripley vibe. Waterston stars alongside Noomi Repace, James Franco, Danny McBride, Michael Fassbender, Demian Bichir, Alex England , Billy Crudup, Amy Seimetz, Jussie Smollett, Carmen Ejogo, and Callie Hernandez. “Bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, the crew of the colony ship Covenant discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world — whose sole inhabitant is the “synthetic” David (Michael Fassbender), survivor of the doomed Prometheus expedition.” We will also get to see a new type of Xenomorph, called a “Neomorph” in ‘Covenant’. The Neomorph were created by an infestation of a type of black goo on their planet that allowed the ecosystem to mutate. The creatures begin their lives in pods growing on trees, which infect their hosts via their ears and bursts out through their victims’

Jurassic World 2 Will Be Ruled By Practical Effects

We’ve all seen a film where the CGI went overboard, making the movie look cheap. It’s a shame that practical effects are not used like they once were. They add a since of something real, something tangible. J.A. Bayona recently told The Hollywood Reporter that ‘Jurassic World 2 ‘will use as many animatronics as possible. It’s complicated because the audience now is so used to seeing CGI that they’re sometimes reluctant towards animatronics. But at the same time, I think animatronics bring soul and reality to it. We’re trying to find the balance between animatronics in order to cheat the audience so they don’t know what they’re seeing.” The animatronic dinosaurs is ‘Jurassic Park’ were incredible. They were groundbreaking. They did cause a few issues on the set though. In the scene where the T-Rex comes down on the children in the SUV, almost crushing them, that was real. The dino was so heavy that he fell over on the

Is The New Tales From The Crypt Series Dead ?

Christmas is only a few days away. We should be giving you the gift of good news, but unfortunately that is not the case when it comes to the latest update on the reworked ‘Tales From the Crypt‘ series from M. Night Shyamalan and TNT, which is one of the most anticipated genre projects of 2017. Over at Bloody-Disgusting they are reporting that a source close to the development process told the site that the new series is in trouble, if not dead and buried already. Supposedly, there is a budget issue that has caused the series to stop dead in its tracks. Now, TNT has not confirmed the rumor. So there is still hope for ‘Tales From the Crypt’, until the series is officially canceled. The anthology series – meant to be part of TNT’s new horror block along with the new series ‘Time of Death’ and ‘Creatures‘ – got the green light back earlier this year. The series

Walking Dead Actors Who Auditioned For Different Roles

Several actors who star in the hit series ‘The Walking Dead’ actually auditioned for a role other than the one we know them for. Honestly, I think they all did great in the roles they did get. Norman Reedus Reedus, who plays our favorite redneck badass, actually auditioned for the role of Merle. The Walking Dead big-wigs were so impressed with Reedus that they created a character just for him, Daryl. He is the only main character on the series that does not exist in the comic that the show is based on. Sonequa Martin-Green You will recognize Green as TWD’s Sasha, though she originally auditioned for the role of the katakana wielding badass. Michonne. That role went to Danai Gurira. Green has just been cast in a lead role in the upcoming ‘Star Trek‘ series, which leaves us concerned about Sasha. Chad L. Coleman Coleman, who we know as Tyreese, auditioned for the role of Morgan. Lennie James ended
