Dracula Untold Director Returning To The World Of Vampires With RED RIVER

XYZ Films is currently at Cannes shopping the world sales rights for the genre thriller Red River, written by Ronan Blaney (Love Bites) and directed by Gary Shore (Dracula Untold), Deadline says. Shore says that the film tells the story of “a vampire hell-bent on teaching an isolated town a thing or two about its treatment of outsiders is a valuable reminder that man is capable of being a real monster.” I love Ronan’s script – heartbreaking, violent and touching all at once.” Shore said. “With influences like High Plaines Drifter, Shane and Let the Right One In, it’s definitely an original in the genre with the potential to be a modern classic.” Mark Huffman will serve as producer for Red River. There is no word yet on the cast.

Russell Crowe Transforms Into Dr. Jekyll In The New Featurette From THE MUMMY

A new sneak peek featurette has been unveiled by Universal Pictures for their remake of The Mummy. In the video we see Russell Crowe transform into Dr. Jekyll as he schools Nick (Tom Cruise) on “evil”. We also see what appears to be a vampire skull, a possible link to Dracula. While Dracula Untold (2014) featured Luke Evans as the famous blood-thirsty character, it bombed, so a new Dracula is in the works. Thought safely entombed in a crypt deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient queen whose destiny was unjustly taken from her is awakened in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension. From the sweeping sands of the Middle East through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters. Tom Cruise (Jack Reacher, Mission Impossible)

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.
