Danny McBride Reveals More About The New HALLOWEEN Film

A few days ago we reported that Danny McBride and David Gordon Green are making Michael Myers mortal again. Since then, McBride appeared on the Jim Norton & Sam Roberts Show to reveal more details surrounding their upcoming Halloween movie and confirmed that filming is set to begin this fall. It is not a reboot; it’s not gonna be a rehash,” said McBride. “It’s a continuation of Michael Myers – where we’re choosing to continue it from, you’ll have to see when the movie comes out. I’d already seen all these movies, but I’ve really been studying them now and just thinking about all the people that have been hired to make a Michael Myers movie. Just trying to avoid any mistakes that those people might’ve made. The first Halloween is scary as shit. And the second Halloween is scary, but not as scary. And then from there, it isn’t as scary. And I really think that what happens with

Everything We Know So Far About CULT OF CHUCKY

While he’s a vicious serial killer, it’s hard not to be fond of Chucky. Luckily, we will soon have a new sequel and I can’t wait to see what that little red-headed, possessed, psychopath will do next. The sequel, which we first reported back in 2014, is titled Cult of Chucky. We’ve been following the film’s development closely and were ecstatic to be able to tell fans that the movie wrapped filming in February. So far, we know that the movie picks up four years after the events of Curse of Chucky. Creator-writer-director Don Mancini has promised that Cult of Chucky will be the bloodiest and goriest film of the entire franchise. That says a lot taking inconsideration the scenes in Seed of Chucky. During a recent interview with CBC, Mancini gave a little more insight into what we can expect from the film. I wrote it with snow in mind. We shot all night outside for one sequence, and

Michael Myers Won’t Be Immortal In The New Halloween

Back in February we reported that Danny McBride and David Gordon Green will be bring Michael Myers back for a new film. The two who are writing the film, with Green directing, have dropped tidbits of information. They have said that they want to return Michael to his former glory in what is being described as a sequel to 1981’s Halloween II. In a recent interview with The Empire Film Podcast, McBride revealed that Michael will not have any supernatural or immortal properties. He will simply be a disturbed man in a mask. I think we’re just trying to strip it down and just take it back to what was so good about the original. It was just very simple and just achieved that level of horror that wasn’t corny. And it wasn’t turning Michael Myers into some supernatural being that couldn’t be killed— that stuff to me isn’t scary. I want to be scared by something that I really

HELLBOY Receives Its Title And A R-Rating

While fans were excited last week to learn the Hellboy would be getting a new R-rated sequel. However, excitement quickly turned to shock when we reported that not only will Guillermo del Toro not be involved, but that Ron Perlman will not be reprising his role as Hellboy. Today, we have an update. The sequel, from director Neil Marshall (The Descent), now has an official working title Hellboy: Rise of the Blood Queen. In the comic series created by Mike Mignola, who will be writing the script with Andrew Cosby and Christopher Golden, there is a character known as the Queen of Blood, part of the ‘Wild Hunt’ story arc. There is also a possibility of a story that involves vampires who Hellboy clashed with in the comics. Stranger Things actor David Harbour will be playing Hellboy in the sequel. While there is no doubt that he is a talented actor, many might have trouble seeing him as the character.

Michael Rooker And John McNaughton Teaming Up Again For A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND

John McNaughton’s 1986 thriller Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer was gritty and everything that type of film is supposed to be. Michael Rooker starred as Henry, a character inspired by real-life serial killers Henry Lee Lucus and Ottis Toole. After a span of over 30 years Rooker and McNaughton are teaming up for another project. The duo will be working on the film adaption of Flannery O’Connor’s ‘A Good Man Is Hard to Find’, Deadline reports. The short story, viewed as a classic, features a family on a road trip and and a escaped convict known as “The Misfit”. With both Rooker and McNaughton involved with the project, I have no doubt the film will be fantastic. ‘A Good Man Is Hard to Find’ will be produced by Ed Richardson under the banner of R&R Productions Worldwide, based in Atlanta. Mike Sears and David Zander will co-produce.

Yet Another TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE Reboot Gets a Release Date

I love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. There’s a good chance you love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. In fact, I’d guess it would be pretty hard to find a horror fan that doesn’t love, or at least respect, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Now all that being said, do we really need another reboot? Well the good folks over at Lionsgate apparently think so, because were getting reboot number four! As far as the poster goes I will say I hate the feeling of wet socks, although I’m still not sure a puddle and skinny shins were the right direction to take. The plot itself, set to follow a teenage Leatherface breaking out of an asylum and kidnapping a nurse, doesn’t excite me either. While part of me wonders a little if his masks ever get adolescent acne, mostly it’s just boring. After all, isn’t that what a hulking, cousin fucking cannibal in a skin mask needs; and in-depth examination of what
