Per Variety, Oriol Paulo, who helmed Rodar’s early-year hit El cuerpo (The Body), has written a second-draft screenplay and is on board to direct.

Rest in Peace Ray Manzarek
5 hours ago
Though they never officially entered the world of horror entertainment, The Doors was a band that many genre fans, including myself, hold extremely near and dear to our hearts. That being said... we've lost another true genius.
MSN is reporting that Doors founding member Ray Manzarek has passed on at the way too young age of 74. Keyboardist and singer Manzarek died Monday in Rosenheim, Germany, surrounded by his family, said publicist Heidi Robinson-Fitzgerald. Robinson-Fitzgerald said his manager, Tom Vitorino, confirmed Manzarek died after being stricken by bile duct cancer.
Manzarek founded The Doors after meeting then-poet Jim Morrison in California. The band went on to become one of the most successful rock 'n roll acts to emerge from the 1960s and continues to resonate with fans decades after Morrison's death in 1971.
We here at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our sincerest of condolences to Ray's friends, »

6 hours ago
With filming on Season 4 of "The Walking Dead" now under way, we heard from Props Master John Sanders, who talks about the strangest items he's found for the show and a new method of killing walkers that he has in store for Season 4.
Q: As the guy in charge of all the props, what are some staples that bear your mark?
A: The new crossbow for Daryl -- I altered that one for the show. I took Norman [Reedus] to a bow range for him to shoot. I was kind of showing off with the guys there, and I was showing him some of the top-end crossbows. I let him shoot the Stryker 380, and once he shot that, he had me take pictures of him and had me send them to the producers, and immediately it got in the works that we wanted him to have it.
