AMC’s Preacher To Premiere At SXSW

AMC’s new series Preacher will premier this March at SXSW, followed by the TV premiere this May. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg will be directing the series, which is based on the adaption of Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon’s fantastic graphic novel by the same name. For those who are not familiar with the comics, let me explain. Preacher follows Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a preacher from a small Texas town, who was pushed into his profession by his effing insane family. Jesse, after being possessed by Genesis, an entity that is half angel and half demon, sets out to find God. He is accompanied by his ex girlfriend Tulip O’Hare (Ruth Negga) and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun). The angels, desperate to have Genesis back in his cage, send “The Killer of Saints” to find him. If the series is anything like the graphic novels, it will be dark, twisted and controversial.

Friday the 13th Gets Lucky

A Few Words From Our Ms. Palmer “What a piece of shit! No one’s gonna see this crap!” — Actress Betsy Palmer aka Pamela Vorhees The late, esteemed critic, Roger Ebert, coined the phrase “Dead Teenager Movie” and I have stated several times that Jaws 2 arguably gets technical credit as the first one. While teenagers in peril was a long standing theme and used over and over again, it’s the sequel to Spielberg’s game changing shark movie that lined them up one after another for the monster to pick off. Jaws 2 gave the designer sheen to killing off teens. It wasn’t a grainy “B Movie” that played part of a double bill at the drive in. This was wide screen Panavision and a 50 million budget. While there was no nudity, the underlying “have sex and die” motif was there with a killer in the form a pissed off female Great White Shark. The original 1978 Halloween fine

The Crypt Keeper Is Returning For The New Tales From The Crypt Keeper Series , Sort Of

We reported just a few days ago that TNT and M. Night Shyamalan will be bringing back Tales From The Crypt. Soon after news broke that was not the Crypt Keeper would not be featured. Fans were quick to voice their disappointment. In the place of the Crypt Keeper would be an old man in a robe sitting fire side. A few hours ago Shyamalan tweeted a response to @slashfilm about the Crypt Keeper situation (see below). At the moment it is unclear exactly what the original Crypt Keeper and the new Crypt Keeper will have in common. I mean, let’s be honest, it’s not really the Crypt Keeper unless it’s actually the Crypt Keeper. I truly hope that TNT and Shyamalan also plan on bringing back John Kassir, the original voice of the Crypt Keeper. Any thing else would just be an insult. It’s time for them to step up and buy the rights from HBO or at least
