Chad Verdi Announces Self Storage 2, Talks Army of the Damned, and Lands Martin Scorsese to Co-Produce Passion Project
13 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
To say that producer Chad A. Verdi has made a splash on the horror industry would be quite the understatement. In just the last two years he has produced films starring Robert Englund, Tony Todd, Michael Berryman and many more.
And he's just getting started.
Verdi inked a four-picture deal with Screen Media guaranteeing him distribution for his films before they were even made. A monumental feat for an independent film company. Now Verdi continues to add to his catalog of films, and even landed legendary director Martin Scorsese to co-produce a project he's always dreamed of making.
Verdi recently sat down with Dread Central to talk about his recently wrapped film Army of the Damned and his upcoming projects. "I feel Army of the Damned is the best horror movie we've made yet. No question about it," Verdi said. I think the actors came in, they delivered and with »

Emma Roberts In ‘We’re The Millers’ Character Poster
11 June 2013 12:04 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Emma Roberts; the actress formerly known as ‘Julia Roberts’ Niece’, is gearing up for her first full-on adult comedic turn in the hilarious looking We’Re The Millers. In which a fake family, made up of drug dealers, strippers and a couple of young degenerates, get together to move some pot across the Mexican border and make some money. Roberts may still be young, but she’s already aimed for a more diverse career than her famous aunt, with roles in horror Scream 4, British action gangster film 4.3.2.1. and now this. She’s a long way from her turns in Nancy Drew, Aquamarine, Wildchild, and Hotel For Dogs (maybe I’ve seen too many Emma Roberts films, and by “seen” I mean “own”). Still, she’s got a long way to go to match her father, the legendary Eric Roberts, who takes on everything from Spun, to The Dark Knight, »

A New, Curious Mel Gibson Rumor
7 June 2013 12:17 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Will Mel Gibson be in "The Expendables 3"? Stranger Mel Gibson things have certainly happened!
According to a rumor in Showbiz411, Gibson is eyeing the villain role in the third installment of the franchise that pits elder action stars together on various missions. Joining Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger in this round are Jackie Chan and Milla Jovovich. In prior "Expendables" movies, Eric Roberts, Steve Austin and Jean-Claude Van Damme have all starred as villains.
As SlashFilm notes, Stallone once tried to get Gibson to direct "Expendables 3," but tweeted that "Mel's living his own life."
While he's had a horrible run of late (personal troubles aside, Gibson's last big movie, "The Beaver," was an all-out flop), Gibson does star in "Machete Kills," alongside fellow highly respected actors like Lady Gaga and Charlie Sheen.
Head over to Showbiz411 for more rumor-bait.

Indie Flick Scavenger Killers Attracts Several Surprising Names
31 May 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
When looking over the cast for a little low budget horror flick, you don't usually see the names of Academy Award nominees. That rarely happens. Usually you get cats like Dustin Diamond, etc. Well, the upcoming flick Scavenger Killers inexplicably has them both and then some!
Dylan Bank directs from a screenplay by Kenneth Del Vecchio and Rachael Robbins. Now here's the neat thing... the cast! Eric Roberts, Robert Loggia, and Charles Durning all star along with Robert Bogue (The Good Guy, "Guiding Light"), Rachael Robbins (An Affirmative Act, Screaming Dead), Dustin Diamond ("Saved by the Bell"), Kim Allen ("Army Wives"), Angela Little (American Pie Bandcamp, The Life Zone), and Suzi Lorraine (Solid State, The Haunting of Pearson Place).
Take a look at the first trailer and artwork!

Close up: Cannes concludes

Catch up with the last seven days in the world of film
The big story
At the risk of overkill, it's Cannes. Again. On Sunday night, in a swanky ceremony in the Palais du Festivals, the Palme d'Or was conferred on Blue Is the Warmest Colour by Steven Spielberg and his jury.
The decision was a popular one, both inside the hall and among the critical fraternity – at least, our critic, Peter Bradshaw, thought they got it right.
One person who differed was Julie Maroh, the author of the graphic novel it was based on, who accused director Abdellatif Kechiche of reducing her work to
pornography. Peter, though, vehemently disagreed – here's what he wrote in response.

Grumpy Cat conquers the internet, sets sights on Hollywood with film deal
30 May 2013 9:21 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
After winning the internet, the pint-size perpetual curmudgeon Grumpy Cat is turning her attention to the big screen in the form of her own movie. Really.
The tiny feline, officially christened Tardar Sauce [sic], captured the attention of the internet, spawning countless memes, gif reactions and even a site dedicated to a photo of her called Daily Grump, which sometimes also features her almost-as-grumpy brother Pokey.
The movie will star the grump as a talking cat, not to be confused with the Eric Roberts’ movie A Talking Cat?! (Cross-over potential, perhaps?). The film is purported to be in the vein of the live-action Garfield films. We can only hope that that perpetual grumpy non-cat Tommy Lee Jones is approached to co-star in the film..
You can’t say no to cat photos. Hit the jump to see more of the film’s star, Grumpy Cat. »

Dark Knight actor signs up for sequel to notorious horror film, which British Board of Film Classification refused to classify
It was not so long ago that Eric Roberts was receiving praise for his classy supporting turn as mobster Sal Maroni in the acclaimed 2009 Christopher Nolan comic book movie The Dark Knight. Now Entertainment Weekly reports that the Oscar-nominated actor is poised to head into darker territory: he has signed up to star in the latest instalment of the notoriously nasty horror series The Human Centipede.
Roberts – brother of film star Julia – was nominated for his role as an escaped convict in 1985's Runaway Train. He will reportedly join Friday's Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Death Race's Robert Lasardo and former porn star Bree Olson in Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence). They join returning stars Dieter Laser and Laurence R Harvey, both of whom play villains, as well as the writer-director Tom Six. »

This Is What The New Chucky Doll Will Look Like
30 May 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
We're still waiting to find out how a less jokey, more murderous Chucky will go over with fans of the "Child's Play" series. "Curse of Chucky" sets the maniacal Good Guy doll in a darker story, minus the comedy. Director Don Mancini and series writer-producer David Kirschner promised new thrills, and genre icon Brad Dourif will be back to voice the tiny terror. Star Fiona Dourif posted a photo with the new Chucky on her Instagram account this week, and we approve. The differences are subtle, but definitely creepy.
In "Curse of Chucky," Nica (Fiona Dourif) is devastated by her mother's suicide, but locks horns with her older sister (Danielle Bisutti) while trying to settle their mother's affairs. Meanwhile, big sis' daughter is distracted by a mysterious, red-haired doll named Chucky that arrives in the mail. The family doesn't realize that Chucky has a 20-year-old score to settle.

30 May 2013 | The Daily BLAM! | See recent The Daily BLAM! news »
The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) is the third and final film in director Tom Six' horror franchise about creating a vile digestive chain of human beings sewn together in horrific fashion. The movie stars Dieter Laser, Laurence Harvey, Tommy "Tiny" Lister, Robert Lasardo, Bree Olson and Eric Roberts. Eric Roberts is an Academy Award nominated actor so his presence certainly adds some dramatic flair to Tom Six' indie horror opus. The Human Centipede 3 promises to be the boldest experiment yet as it involves 500 prison inmates making up the latest chain. The first film featured three while the second ramped that number up to 12. Although it's not confirmed as to who Roberts will portray in the film, IMDb lists him as 'Governor'. Director and writer Tom Six will be playing 'himself' in »

Eric Roberts Set For Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)
29 May 2013 4:41 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Cinematic troublemaker and Human Centipede driving force Tom Six has never been above a bit of hype to keep people coming back for more of his weird humour and dark horrors. After enjoying the controversy around the UK release of the second film, he’s now turning a little more meta for the third, which is currently shooting. How meta? Try going all Hollywood – well, sort of – with a cast that now includes Eric Roberts.Roberts might have an Oscar nomination under his belt, but Julia’s bro hasn’t exactly enjoyed the same A-list career even if he has carved out a successful cult niche. Carving seems on the cards in a different way given that the Human Centipede films so far have generally been about Dieter Laser’s mad scientist slicing into his victims and stitching them together in uncomfortable ways.The third film – Final Sequence – has been »
