Posted 17 years ago

We know next to nothing about THE DARK KNIGHT director Chris Nolan’s next movie INCEPTION. But that next to nothing we know will apparently cost a shitload of cash. According to a recent article in the Calgary Sun about the...

Night of Creeps 2?

Posted 17 years ago

For fans of the 80s horror gem NIGHT OF THE CREEPS, it’s been a painfully long wait for an official DVD. Now it sounds like it’ll be worth that wait. AICN caught up with director Fred Dekker at a recent...

Posted 17 years ago

A movie based on goop-filled 70s toy STRETCH ARMSTRONG isn’t just “in the works” — it already has a planned release date of April 15th, 2011. Steve Oedekerk (BRUCE ALMIGHTY) was tasked with coming up with new and interesting ways...

7 Golden Vamps again

Posted 17 years ago

When it comes to remakes, isn’t it better to start with esoteric material that might not have been great in the first place? That’s apparently what Spitfire Pictures is doing — according to B-D, they’re removing the stake from the...

Tales from the Script

Posted 17 years ago

In the years I’ve been writing about movies, I’ve gotten to know more screenwriters than any other professions in the filmmaking business. They’re usually friendly, intelligent, creative and candid… and probably get dumped on more than anyone. I’ve heard plenty...
