Dawn Brown, who worked on projects including ‘Alice in Wonderland’, ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ and ‘The Hunger Games’, has begun her own stop animation series, ‘House of Monsters’. The series can be best described as the Universal Monsters meets ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. Brown serves as writer, director and animator for the series. Warren Masner joins Brown as producer as well as a writer. Masner has provided concepts and designs, for example, he designed Bumblebee for the ‘Transformers’ movies. He also designed Superman’s suit in ‘Man of Steel’. The voice of Doctor Gaulstone, the narrator, should sound very familiar, it’s none other than Christopher Lloyd. Lloyd played the unforgettable role of Doc Brown in ‘Back to the Future’ as well as many other notable roles in his career. The first two episodes of ‘House of Monsters’ debuted on Vimeo on Demand on July 28th, 2015 and will later expand to other distributors. I watched episode one and two earlier today.

The boys question if their mother is actually their mother after she returns from having massive plastic surgery and begins acting very strangely. I imagine ‘Goodnight Mommy’ is going to be a seriously creepy film, the trailer alone is enough to give you nightmares. ‘Goodnight Mommy’ opens in theaters on September 11, after premiering at both the Toronto International Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival.

The reboot has had trouble from day one between multiple actors backing out. The final nail in the coffin for the movie is due to Relativity Media declaring bankruptcy. Filming was scheduled to begin at Pinewood Cardiff Studios, but has been halted and crews and cast sent home. The company still plans to go a head with the project at some point. So, will the reboot of ‘The Crow’ ever get made? At this point, it’s anyone’s guess.
