I want to see that reality show. That would be the one, if I was a New Line exec, that I would push for a new Freddy film. That sounds nice and original, with Freddy wrecking havoc on a group of people on a reality show where they face their wildest fears. That would be a killer idea.

Yeah, the reality show sounds cool. I'd never be able to do a show like that...I'm too big of chicken to face my fears & phobias.  I can't even watch Fear Factor. |

I don't like reality shows to begin with, but the movies based on them are quite fun. That would be a great Freddy movie, as he can just wreek all sorts of chaos there. I really hope that one gets down, as it sounds great. Out of the others, I don't really know how I would feel about a Freddy prequel. I learned enough from "Freddy's Dead" that I really wanted to know about him. Another sequel sounds more promising, but that Michael vs. Freddy does have some of my attention.

Now what the hell happened to Freddy Vs. Chucky?
Supposedly Don Mancini (who's major motion picture credits only include the 5 Child's Play movies) penned a treatment for it that was being considered.
Freddy vs. Michael Myers? Bring in John Carpenter and it might just be good.

From VancouverSun online:
And Insight started pre-production this week on the Brian De Palma horror remake, Sisters, starring Academy Award nominees Shephen Rea (1992's The Crying Game), Chloe Sevigny (1999's Boys Don't Cry) and amazing young writer/director/actress Asia Aria Maria Vittoria Rossa Argento, whose dad is famed Italian horror director Dario Argento. Canuck horrormeister David Cronenberg is set for a cameo.
This one involves twin sisters, the mysterious death of two children years ago, a highly addictive psychotropic drug, human experimentation and a nosy reporter.
Principal photography is slated to begin in March.

Remaking De Palma is doomed to disappoint but I'm still interested in this sucker.

A bit of news from Fango I know we're all waiting to hear: After many years and innumerable rumors, Fango can exclusively reveal that PUMPKINHEAD 3 is currently preparing to lens in Romania, with hot British director Jake (EVIL ALIENS) West calling the shots. Ironically, his schedule on the new film means that he will have to miss the UK theatrical release of EVIL ALIENS on March 10. PUMPKINHEAD 3 is being made back-to-back with a fourth entry in the series, although West is only directing the first of the two films; we’ll announce the name of the PUMPKINHEAD 4 director later this week. Original PUMPKINHEAD star Lance Henriksen will appear as a ghost (!) in both sequels, which are being produced by Motion Picture Corporation of America (responsible for PUMPKINHEAD 2 as well as RIDING THE BULLET) and are already slated to debut on the Sci Fi Channel—the first in October 2006, the second a year later. HELLRAISER/DRACULA/PROPHECY sequels FX vet Gary J. Tunnicliffe will create the new vengeance demon. See Fango #253 (on sale April 18) for a chat with West.www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=5720A source slipped Fango a few tidbits on WRONG TURN 2, the direct-to-DVD sequel to the 2003 shocker set to roll soon for release by Fox Home Video. This installment centers on Ma and Pa, the inbreds (also brother and sister!) who spawned the deformed villains seen in the original movie; the murderous couple terrorize the contestants on a SURVIVOR-style reality show who wind up getting lost in the savages’ woods. The screenwriters are Turi Meyer and Al Septien, whose credits include LEPRECHAUN 2, SLEEPSTALKER and CANDYMAN: DAY OF THE DEAD; the latter two were also directed by Meyer, but there’s no word yet on whether he’ll do the same on the new TURN. More details soon as we find ’em out!www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=5722Filming is well underway on Dimension’s remake of BLACK CHRISTMAS (due presumably for holiday-season 2006 release), the latest fright outing from filmmakers Glen Morgan and James Wong (the first and third FINAL DESTINATIONs and WILLARD). With principal photography in Vancouver just about half-complete, Bob Clark, director of the 1974 original, recently visited the set, taking a break from preproduction on the remake of his very first horror film, 1972’s CHILDREN SHOULDN’T PLAY WITH DEAD THINGS, which he’ll once again direct.
Glen Morgan wrote and directs the updated CHRISTMAS, with Wong serving as producer; initially, they were presented with a very different screenplay. “We did a first draft with a Canadian set of writers,” Clark tells Fango. “Glen felt that they strayed too far from the original. He wanted to pull it back to the house more.”
“That script was very different from the original BLACK CHRISTMAS, and this version,” Wong says. “We read it and said, ‘This is not what we want to do.’ But BLACK CHRISTMAS is a great movie, and Glen had a take on it. He really thought that we had to go back to the sorority—that that was the way to do it.”
“We have the advantage of having a totally undeveloped story: Billy,” Clark continues, referring to the psychopath who torments the college girls with frightening, obscene phone calls before turning to violence. “Who is Billy? What is Billy? That is what Glen has been so clever in doing, using that and developing it. The audience will love finding out about him. We get the history before we go, to see how and why Billy [is who he is] so you know something about him. All we knew about Billy [in the original] was what he revealed to us in his madness over the phone.”
Morgan created a backstory for Billy based on the suggestions in that madness, and the character indeed gets his own prologue in the remake, and is part of the sorority house’s dark history. The story has been updated to incorporate a bit of modern technology, particularly cell phones. Expect a higher body count, and more gore than the original, but certainly not the kind of all-out carnage Morgan and Wong delivered in the FINAL DESTINATION flicks. The FX will be largely practical, with FD3 and X FILES’ Toby Lindala providing makeup FX and Morgan and Wong decidedly aiming for an R rating.
In the manner of this year’s WHEN A STRANGER CALLS redux, the events of the new BLACK CHRISTMAS take place in one night entirely in and around the sorority house, where the girls are stranded by a storm. The cast includes STRANGER victim Katie Cassidy, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Crystal Lowe from FD3, Lacey (MEAN GIRLS) Chabert and Michelle (BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER) Trachtenberg. Kristen Cloke, Morgan’s wife, who acted for him in the first FINAL DESTINATION, WILLARD and episodes of THE X FILES and MILLENNIUM, appears as well, and original CHRISTMAS sorority girl and SECOND CITY veteran Andrea Martin returns for much more than just a cameo: she plays the new housemother.www.fangoria.com/news_article.php?id=5721 |

I can't say that too much of that sounds any good. Maybe Pumpkinhead 3.
But Wrong Turn 2? Wasn't the first one shitty enough? Come on...

Mike Hurst (House of the Dead 2) is directing Part 4 of Pumpkinhead.
Oh, and after one Eli Roth is done with "Hostel 2," he's helming the adaptation of "Cell" for Dimension.

His career has been on a steady decline in the last several years. I mean, did anyone really care that he was in AVP? Oh, hey, I spotted a movie at Blockbuster called "Gingerbread Man" that is apparently about a killer.... Gingerbreadman.... Okay, that sounds pretty stupid, right? So then, it should be no surprise that it's released by "Guaranteed Shit" company "Full Moon," right? So, then, how the fuck did Gary Busey end up in that movie? In a FULL MOON movie?? Has anyone seen this? I almost rented it over the weekend but settled on The Great Raid instead... I wasn't aware that Gary Busey's career had gotten so bad! |

I had heard of this one, but did just like you and passed on it. That Full Moon stamp on it is quality Grade-F bullshit. There's better movies out there if I want to see soft-core drama/horror.
