David Fincher Closing In On Directorial Duties For WORLD WAR Z 2
It seems that World War Z 2, which appeared to be dead, is now back on in its feet and ambling, albeit slowly, forward. The film which had been removed from Paramount Studio’s production calendar back in February, has yet to officially be given the go ahead. However, with David Fincher likely to be in the director’s chair for this sequel, the green light could well come within the next few weeks. Interest in Fincher to take the helm of WWZ 2 began last summer, when Brad Grey was still studio chief. Brad Pitt specifically had a keen interest in working with Fincher again, despite having spoken with a number of other potential directors. At the time it was rumored that Fincher was equally as interested with the idea of taking on such a project, which would be his first feature since Gone Girl in 2014. Pitt and Fincher have a great chemistry, having worked together on Se7en, Fight Club

Warning Spoilers Odds are, you have already seen M. Knight Shyamalan’s new hit psychological thriller Split. While I was surprised at how great Split is and how incredible James McAvoy is in it, I would not have suspected before watching it that it is actually a sequel to Shyamalan’s 2000 film Unbreakable.

Women (In Horror) Crush Wednesday: ALIEN DAY TWOFER! Sigourney Weaver And Veronica Cartwright
Greetings, my Little Xenomorphs. Yes, I know you’re all accustomed to the moniker of Little Monsters, but today is the 26th of April or 4/26, thus making it ALIEN DAY! I trust I don’t need to explain the relevance of the number combination in relation to the movie Alien. BUT, for those of you who don’t know, it’s a reference to the planet, known as LV-426, where the crew of the star-freighter Nostromo first encountered the facehugger that “impregnated” Ash (played by the late great John Hurt). OK, that’s enough of that, because we’re here to focus on TWO wonderful Women of Horror today. That’s right, count ’em…one, two. As you can clearly see, the focus today is on the only two female female cast members of Ridley Scott’s classic 1979 film, Alien – Veronica Cartwright and Sigourney Weaver. Both of these ladies would grace the world with their presence in 1949. Veronica A. Cartwright was born on April 20th

Jonathan Demme Will No Longer Hear The Screaming Of The Lambs
It is with a heavy heart that I bring this bit of news to you today, my Little Monsters. Acadamy Award winning director Jonathan Demme has passed away at the age of 73 from esophageal cancer as well as complications related to heart disease. Demme was the filmmaker who would prove that a smart and sophisticated horror film could win the film industry’s top honor, and in more categories than one. People can deny it all they want and try to make it more profound than it is. But at the end of the day you have to call Silence of the Lambs what it is, Jonathan Demme’s horror masterpiece. Demme also directed another incredible film that highlighted a very different kind of horror – AIDS. With Philadelphia, Demme gave a very real and human face to this horrific disease while also displaying the prejudice and misconceptions of those who are on the outside looking in and judging those who

ISLAMIC EXORCIST Puts A New Spin On A Classic Genre
Islamic Exorcist is exactly what it sounds like; The Exorcist, just with Islam. Given The Exorcist is one of the best horror movies ever made however, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. And Islam can stand toe to toe with any other religion as far as scary ass demons go. Ever heard of Zaccoum? It’s basically a tree, except with more decapitated heads. Based on a true story (because what good exorcism movie isn’t?), Islamic Exorcist is directed by Faisal Saif, who actually received death threats while filming. From the mouth of the man himself, “I got lots of life threats from the Muslim and Shia Muslim community to not to make this film or if already made, not to showcase it anywhere.” Damn. With that much horror just behind the scenes, the full film itself must be terrifying.
