Go Hero Preps Harryhausen Creations
19 July 2009 12:24 AM, PDT
Go Hero is set to make its mark on San Diego Comic-Con with a line of 12-inch scaled figures you are not likely to forget. Combining an eye for fine art wrapped up in every stitch of clothing, accessory detail, and sculpted part with the sensibility of an overgrown kid who always wanted kick-ass toys from Ray Harryhausen creations, Go Hero has created some amazing new collectibles!
Skeleton Warrior: They are the dead. Former soldiers and slaves, summoned from their slumber to do the bidding of an evil master. Rattling as they lift their swords, they grin and stare with empty eyes showing neither pain nor mercy. Call forth your own army of darkness with ball-jointed limbs, movable jaw, sword, shield, pop-out joints, and 2 sets of hands.
Perseus: The Son of Zeus shall not have peace for his blasphemy. All that he cherishes in his world shall be ripped from him.

Kendal Sinn Unveils Shadow Falls Memorial
18 July 2009 1:28 PM, PDT
Our working relationship with writer/director Kendal Sinn and his frequent collaborator Patrick Rea goes back several years, just about to 2001, which is when Sinn first started conceptualizing Shadow Falls, an Internet horror/sci-fi serial about eerie goings-on in a creepy Kansas town. His end goal was to have 36 short films and then finish with a feature. Instead of working on the shorts, however, Sinn jumped ahead to the finale, and thus, we have Shadow Falls Memorial.
Why the change in plans? His first season of short films about “Shadow Falls, Kansas” was a critical and popular hit when it debuted online in 2003, and Season Two was supposed to go up in 2006. But things didn't work out that way, and Sinn decided to end the series to focus on other films. He explains, "I got married [to producer Sally Cummings] and we had a baby, and [while] we were shooting all of these other films,

Lautner, Sheen, and Lefevre Talk Up New Moon
18 July 2009 2:15 AM, PDT
Only a few outlets were granted set visits during the filming of Summit Entertainment's money-in-the-bank sequel New Moon, and now that we're inching closer to its November 20th release date, their reports and interviews are starting to trickle out with some pretty choice descriptions of what they saw ... and a few sound bites from the actors who achieved overnight fame thanks to the Twilight series' rabid fanbase.
For those wondering if the action quota might be pumped up in New Moon, Rachelle Lefevre describes what she's been up to tor the past two and half weeks prior to the visit. She's been filming her own scenes – up 25 feet high in the trees. She has a stunt double, and she's harnessed while shooting, but that doesn't quell Lefevre's fear of heights with all the shooting in the trees. "I'm absolutely terrified when I'm up there," she says. "I'm like, 'Wow,

New Pics of Jennifer's and Needy's Bodies
18 July 2009 12:24 AM, PDT
It may be called Jennifer's Body, but the person I'm most interested in seeing on the big screen reciting Diablo Cody's snappy dialogue is Jennifer's friend Needy, played by Amanda Seyfried. If anyone can keep it real, and relevant, it's Amanda. So it's nice to see a few shots of her mixed in with all the ones we've gotten of the film's star, Megan Fox.
IGN was the lucky recipient of the goods, which you can see the rest of by clicking the image below.
As you should know by now, Fox plays a newly possessed cheerleader who turns into a killer specializing in offing her male classmates. Can her best gal pal put an end to the horror?
Look for Jennifer's Body in theatres September 18, 2009, from 20th Century Fox.

Blood Flows in New Giallo Stills
17 July 2009 11:14 PM, PDT
Something very unpleasant is happening to Elsa Pataky, the young woman in one of three new stills from Dario Argento's Giallo; hopefully the audience won't feel the same while watching the film.
Attendees of the Fantasy Filmfest in Germany will be among the first to let us know as Giallo has joined the likes of The Children, Coffin Rock, Dread, I Sell the Dead, Mutants, and Paintball, to name just a very few, screening from August 18th to September 9th in Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Nuremberg, Stuttgart, and Munich. Now that's a roster (and a road trip) to get excited about!
So it's thanks to the Fest that DVD Forum got ahold of three photos from Giallo; click the one below for the rest. But first here's a little plot refresher:

17 July 2009 6:27 PM, PDT
Erik Soulliard and crew of Annubis Productions have released the trailer for their next project, 12 Bells, and we're embedding it below for your viewing pleasures. Curious what the film is about? Here's the story, straight from the brand new press release!
12 Bells is a film about a diverse group of apartment dwellers who unsuspectingly become trapped in a parallel dimension of disparate doors. While most are merely acquaintances at the outset, the group is thrust into a maze of hallways and rooms only to be separated by the mystifying element of each doorway. As they struggle to reunite and find their way, they encounter a myriad of macabre and often manic beings who threaten their life with false hope and violent sadistic behavior.

Erik Soulliard’s 12 Bells is a suspenseful, high-paced horror that highlights the supernatural possibility that not every missing person is a victim of violent crime.

Ready for a Good Old Fashioned Body Trade?
17 July 2009 5:21 PM, PDT
A triple threat is on its way, courtesy of Mike West and D.W. Frydendall. The bare bones plot of Body Trade concerns a group of prostitutes who discover how lucrative it is to get involved in the body-harvesting business.
First out of the multi-media gate will be the graphic novel, written by Mike West and illustrated by D.W. Frydendall, followed by the feature film. There will also be a web series, the plot of which continues the feature with the girls on the lam - wounded and strapped for cash. The web series stars Marianne D'Vaz as Mika Monaco, Krista Noguchi as Brandi Bunni, Mary Beth Rix as Suzi Spanx, Sarah Kellner as Candi Cane and Lise Moule as Mona. More info on the series can be found at its Facebook page, where two teaser videos are already posted (and more should follow in August).
Hmmm, we've already seen body harvesting in Turistas and Repo!

Saw VII Under Way Soon
17 July 2009 4:57 PM, PDT
Even though not a single ass has been placed in a theatre yet for Saw VI and won't be for months, that hasn't stopped the powers that be from getting quickly to work on Saw VII.
Variety caught up with writers Patrick Melton and Marcus Dunstan to find out what would be next for them after the Dunstan-directed home invasion film The Collector gets its 1,350-screen release on July 31st from Freestyle Releasing. The duo revealed that they were about to get to work on the script for Saw VII for Lionsgate.
Ponder that if you will. VII Is two trilogies not enough? Jigsaw's been dead since Part III! How much more can this horse be whipped before it's declared legally lame and sent to the glue factory? Tell us what you think below, and look for Saw VII in theatres (or quite possibly direct-to-dvd) in October of 2010.

Jonah Hex: More Western Than Horror?
17 July 2009 4:32 PM, PDT
Ever since we first started covering the live action version of Jonah Hex, it's been a little unclear as to exactly how many genre elements had been written into the script. But now some clarification has come down courtesy of Jimmy Palmiotti, one of the co-writers of the original DC Comics series on which the film is based.
MTV spoke with Palmiotti following one of the writer/artist's visits to the set, and he had some reassuring words for fans of the comics:
"Everyone was so nice and up-to-date on the books, so much so that in the film the art director used a lot of our books to set up the scenes," Palmiotti revealed. "The cover of the comic with Jonah on the cross -- the cover by Jordi Bernet -- that's one of the scenes in the movie."
Not so heartening for horror fans was this bit: While

Official Dracula Sequel Hits in October
17 July 2009 1:29 PM, PDT
While there have been many rehashes and follow-ups to Bram Stoker’s original Dracula novel, there has never been an official sequel put on paper. Until now.
According to the NY Post, Dacre Stoker, Bram Stoker’s great-grandnephew, has penned a sequel to the original novel along with Long Island screenwriter Ian Holt, which even has the official backing of the Stoker Estate, the first to have such a designation since the original film adaptation starring Bela Lugosi.
Titled Dracula: The Un-Dead, the book was sold to Harper UK, who will handle foreign distribution, and Brian Tart of Dutton, who will handle domestic distribution. The book, which supposedly includes characters and plot threads from Bram Stoker’s own notes, will hit U.S. stands in October 2009. It's also out to studios for a film adaptation. Let the bidding war begin!
Dacre Stoker and Ian Holt will be doing a panel on Saturday,

The Ridiculous Orphan Controversy
17 July 2009 1:18 PM, PDT
We’re getting closer to a point in life where pretty soon we won’t be able to say anything to anyone without running the risk of offending them. Every movie will have to be about cupcakes and strawberries except, even then, you’ll find some whacked-out percentage of the population who harbor deep-seated fears for confectionery treats and garden fruits. Am I exaggerating? I don’t believe so, but read on for the absurd controversy surrounding the Warner Bros. horror flick Orphan.
THR caught wind that adoption communities around the country are standing firm against Orphan, worried that the film will provoke real-life resentment toward real-life orphans.
"We are concerned that in addition to its intended entertainment value, this film will have the unintended effect of skewing public opinion against children awaiting families both in the United States and abroad," said a letter to Meyer from the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute.

Kelly writes, "I wanted to share with you the First Look at the Final Poster poster for The Box. It's great to have Cameron, James and Frank all on this poster. Check it out!

Xavier Samuel Joins Twilight: Eclipse Cast
17 July 2009 10:20 AM, PDT
Xavier Samuel, a relatively unknown young actor, is about to find himself on the radar of teenage girls everywhere after being signed to appear as Riley in Twilight's upcoming second sequel, Eclipse.
THR's Risky Biz Blog reports that Samuel, who isn't entirely a stranger to the genre, having appeared in Aussie horror flick The Loved Ones, will play the role of a “newborn vampire” named Riley, a good-looking college student who joins the plot of villain Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) to murder protagonist Bella (Kristen Stewart). Riley is corrupted by Victoria, for whom he has an inexplicable weakness. The movie's larger plot centers on a choice Bella must make between the werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and the vampire Edward (Robert Pattinson).
Eclipse, Samuel's first Us film, is set to begin shooting next month in Vancouver and will be released on June 30, 2010. David Slade is directing from a screenplay by Melissa Rosenberg.
