Icons Exclusive Interview: Director Darren Lynn Bousman
11 May 2012 9:46 PM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
*Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on Icons Of Fright’s sister site Massive Hysteria back in September of 2010. With this week’s DVD/Blu-Ray releases of both Mother’S Day and 11-11-11, we thought we’d present it again to the Icons audience completely unedited and uncut. Check it!
Considering director Darren Lynn Bousman’s impressive body of work, which spans over 3 Saw sequels, the crazy rock musical Repo! The Genetic Opera, an episode of NBC’s short lived Fear Itself TV series and the upcoming remake of Mother’S Day, it’s a surprise that we never got him in the hot seat for an extensive Icons Of Fright interview. So, with the launch of Massive Hysteria, we decided that he would make for the ideal interviewee to kick things off in style!
Bousman invited Mh over to his place for our career spanning lengthy chat, »

Dean Koontz Talks Odd Thomas Movie; It’s Good News
9 May 2012 9:23 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
If you’re a fan of the Dean Koontz series, Odd Thomas, then you may know that the first book, aptly named Odd Thomas, has been made into a movie by director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra) and is currently in post-production. If you haven’t read the books, here’s the gist of things:
“The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Odd Thomas thinks of himself as an ordinary guy, if possessed of a certain measure of talent at the Pico Mundo Grill and rapturously in love with the most beautiful girl in the world, Stormy Llewellyn. Maybe he has a gift, maybe it’s a curse, Odd has never been sure, but he tries to do his best by the »

Patton Oswalt in Talks for Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty
9 February 2012 4:56 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Coming off a terrific dramatic turn in Jason Reitman’s Young Adult, Patton Oswalt is now looking to star in Ben Stiller’s next directorial project. Showblitz reports that Oswalt is in talks to star in Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. The film is a remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film which centers on a Life Magazine proofreader who, incapable of standing up for himself in the real world, retreats to a fantasy where he becomes his poised, confident opposite. Stiller stars as the proofreader, Kristin Wiig is onboard as his love interest, and Shirley MacLaine is set as Stiller’s mother. Oswalt will play Todd, “a friendly eHarmony counselor who helps the protagonist create an online dating profile.” It seems like a perfectly suitable role for Oswalt, who I sincerely hope gets the chance to shine after holding his own opposite Charlize Theron in Young Adult. »

The Weapon Comic Book Getting Big Screen Adaptation
31 January 2012 2:30 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
The studio and producer that brought you Cowboys & Aliens, Platinum Studios and Scott Rosenber, are set to adapt the comic book The Weapon into a feature film. For those of you not familiar with the comic, here's the story breakdown:
Martial arts enthusiast Tommy Zhou invented a means to create solid objects from light—and invented a superhero persona to promote it, The Weapon! He even concocted an origin story for himself based on ancient Chinese legends, his grandfather told him, as a child. What Tommy never suspected, though, were that his grandfather's legends were real—and now an all-too real millennia-old assassin cult, the Lin Kuie, (Forest Demons) is after him, convinced he's unlocked ancient mystical techniques of Order of Wu-Shi-'The Way of the Weapon'--and they're sending waves of killers after him to steal it back.
Tommy was born in Honolulu, Hawaii's Chinatown. A third generation Chinese American, raised by his grandfather. »

Dark Deals 9: Optioning and Waiting with Heather Graham
20 January 2012 3:01 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Many authors are what one might call prolific. Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Brian Keene all might fit the bill. But how about over 150 novels and novellas? The leader of this pack is former Horror Writer's Association Vice President and bestselling author Heather Graham also known as Shannon Drake. This queen of the gothic has been published in approximately twenty-five languages and hasn't stopped yet despite having over seventy-five million books in print with more on the way. But don't limit her to only gothics. She also writes thrillers, vampire novels, paranormal suspense and short stories. I know because I was lucky enough to publish one of her original spooky tales ("Mist on the Bayou") in my book Dark »
Geek Girl Navigating the World – Monsterama

Geek Girl Navigating the World – Monsterama
I recently read and reviewed The Monster’s Corner edited by Christopher Golden for Bookspotcentral.com, and, on my own time, I’ve been reading through Dean Koontz’ Frankenstein series. While some might be inclined to suspect that this fascination with monsters is a new thing, upon a slight bit of reflection, I’ve come to realize that it actually isn’t.
My first real brush with any kind of monster movie, so to speak, came from my early love of dinosaurs. Yeah, I was a weird kid. From the moment that I learned the word paleontologist, that was pretty much what I was telling people that I wanted to be. I have not, in fact, stopped liking dinosaurs, nor have I entirely given up the idea of wanting to be a paleontologist, the major issue at play here is the fact that the »
