Don Mancini Teases That We Will See Chucky, Tiffany And Glen/Glenda Again

There was one thing missing from Cult of Chucky which was released last month. That’s Chucky and Tiffany’s spawn, Glen/Glenda who we met in Seed of Chucky. It left fans wondering where the little bugger was. Child’s Play creator, writer, and frequent director, Don Mancini was recently interviewed by Mezco. They asked Mancini about Billy Boyd, the voice of Glen/Glenda. The director had a simple but vague response: All I can say is…STAY TUNED!” When they asked about the future of the franchise he stated, “Expect the unexpected. Though not as unexpected as say, Chucky not being in the movie. I’d say you could expect that.” There have already been rumors of another sequel in the works and Mancini’s comments pretty much prove that we’ll see Chucky, Tiffany and Glen/Glenda together again. The response from fans over Cult of Chucky was enough to prove to the film industry that there is still interest in seeing the possessed doll again, and

Paul Lalonde, Michael Walker, and Back 40 Pictures’ John Vidette are producing. We are very honored to have been the team chosen to take on the remake of Cronenberg’s Rabid. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of remakes but that’s if they don’t have anything new to bring to the story.” The Twisted Twins said. “We have a unique perspective just because of who we are to tell the story from Rose’s eyes as well as make a commentary on the increasingly rabid world that we live in. Also, we’ve been dying to get back into body horror. Ten years into David’s filmmaking career, he remade The

Warner Bros. Asking For The Academy To Consider “IT” for An Oscar

“IT” was a smashing success at the box office, with the critics, and with the fans, and now Warner Bros. is taking things a step further. This upcoming awards season, the production company will ask The Academy to consider “IT” for the following accolades at The Oscars: Best Picture Best Director Best Adapted Screenplay Best Supporting Actress – Sophia Lillis Best Cinematography Best Production Design Best Film Editing Best Costume Design Best Visual Effects Best Sound Editing Best Sound Mixing Best Makeup & Hairstyling Best Original Score Notably Bill Skarsgard isn’t considered for a Best Actor or Supporting Actor award, with Beverly Marsh actress Sophia Lillis the only thespian making the list. Horror movies are often snubbed at the Oscars, but 2017 could be a year that changes that, with “Get Out” also receiving some early awards buzz. Makeup & Hairstyling seem the most likely to receive a nomination, but “IT” could pull through and surprise us all. When “Mad

Mexican deserts, extraterrestrial abductions, and more flying saucers than you can shake a tinfoil hat at combine in “Aliens: Zone of Silence”, now available on VOD. A found footage alien abduction film, “Zone of Silence” is the feature debut of director Andy Fowler, a former vice president of visual effects with Disney. Film’s he’s worked on include “San Andres”, “TRON: Legacy”, and “Noah”. Set in a large swath of Mexican desert known as “La Zona del Silencio” (Zone of Silence) the film follows a young woman seeking out her younger brother, who went missing in the area while searching for aliens. Personally I wouldn’t venture anywhere theres a chance of getting my ass probed by E.T. but hey, gotta protect the fam right? If physical media is your thing, you can pick up the Blu-ray on Amazon as well. Sounds like the perfect film to kill some time waiting around in the searing heat of the desert looking for aliens.

“The Shape of Water” Get’s Theatrical Release December 1rst

Despite being having of cinema’s most unique and wonderful minds, Guillermo Del Toro has had some rotten luck in recent years getting his projects off the ground. “Pacific Rim 2”? Given to another director. “Hellboy 3”? Unceremoniously rebooted. “The Hobbit” series? Well, del Toro had the good sense to quit that steaming heap himself. All his work is not for naught however, as his new film, “The Shape of Water” has been absolutely swimming in critical praise. Starring a Sally Hawkins mute woman with a kink for gills, “The Shape of Water” is a unique love story, between two outcasts of society, one of whom just so happens to live underwater. For anyone worried this sounds like some kind of mushy gushy disney film, have no fear; the MPAA has rated the film R for “sexual content, graphic nudity, violence and language.” Del Toro is known for his rather twisted and beautiful takes on fantasy settings (if you haven’t seen

King’s Pet Sematary was first adapted back in 1989 by Mary Lambert. Now, Deadline is reporting that the writing-directing duo of Dennis Widmyer and Kevin Kolsch, the team behind 2014’s Starry Eyes, are taking a stab at making a new version of the film. Published in 1983, Pet Sematary follows Louis and Rachel Creed and their two young children. When Church, the family’s cat, is run over their neighbor tells them of the land beyond the pet cemetery where when things are buried they come back. Church did.
