TV Review: 'Under the Dome'
9 hours ago | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Back in the 1990s, Stephen King movies-of-the-week were all the rage. I remember chiseling out time to watch week-long miniseries for The Tommyknockers, The Langoliers, The Stand, and The Shining. The movie-of-the-week format is long dead (outside of Lifetime) but Under the Dome is a close sibling.
Under the Dome is based on the King novel of the same name, about a small town called Chester’s Mill that is suddenly, mysteriously encapsulated under a giant, invisible dome. The mystery becomes: what is this dome, where did it come from, and who put it there? The outside world is not oblivious to the dome; they just can’t figure it out either.
Naturally, a show like this features a large cross-section of humanity. There is Jim, a used car salesman and city councilman who knows more about this dome than he is letting on; Jim’s son, Junior, a dangerously unstable college dropout, »

17 June 2013 12:06 PM, PDT | SneakPeek | See recent SneakPeek news »
Sneak Peek more new images from Archie Comics' upcoming 'zombie' comic book series "Afterlife with Archie",written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa ("Carrie"). The new series is being fast-tracked by Warner Bros as a full-length feature, also scripted by Aguirre-Sacasa.
"...'Afterlife with Archie' combines two of my great passions: 'Archie' comics and horror comics," said Aguirre-Sacasa.
"What if the Archie characters found themselves in a Stephen King novel like 'The Stand' or a Sam Raimi movie like 'The Evil Dead'?
"The first arc is called 'Escape from Riverdale.' The second arc is called, brace yourself, 'Betty Rip.'
"Of course, all the horror stuff will be balanced by elements that are quintessentially Archie..."

Book Review: Stephen King’s 'The Dark Man'
17 June 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
For nearly fifteen years, Stephen King has been mining his past to bring the world new stuff. In 2001, he gifted us with a continuation of his stalled 1980s project, The Plant. Blaze, a lost novel King wrote around the time of ’Salem’s Lot, was finally published in 2007 as a Richard Bachman novel. Years after swearing that no new short story collection would include old works, King included a lost story from the 1970s, “The Cat From Hell,” in his 2008 collection, Just After Sunset. Novel ideas King attempted and discarded in decades past emerged as 11/22/63, Joyland, and Under the Dome – the latter accompanied by an unprecedented online release of an early draft from the 80s. Recently, uncollected prose versions of two Creepshow stories – “The Crate” and “Weeds” (otherwise known as “The Lonesome Death of Jordy Verrill”) – have made their way into Shivers collections, published by Cemetery Dance. Cemetery Dance Publications is at it again, »

Exclusive: 'Afterlife With Archie #1' Andrew Pepoy Variant Cover Revealed
13 June 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Archie Comics has been pretty much insane lately. They introduced Kevin Keller, the first gay dude to get married in mainstream comics. They did an Archie Meets Kiss miniseries, in which Kiss cures Riverdale from being obsessed with boring vampires. Archie sort of had a baby with Valerie from Josie and the Pussycats. They have this whole ongoing comic called Life With Archie that has parallel storylines, and in each one Miss Grundy dies. Things are nuts. That’s when Eisner Award-winning artist Francesco Francavilla did his one-off variant cover for Life With Archie #23. Francavilla did some really nifty retro alternate covers for Archie Meets Kiss, and this one was even more kick-ass. He titled it AFTERlife with Archie, and boy was it full of zombies. Bad girl Veronica crawling out of the grave, ponytailed Betty shambling about, and Jughead reaching his arms out toward a living Archie, his crown tilted on his dead skull. »

Exclusive Early Reveal of the Variant Cover for Afterlife with Archie
12 June 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A few weeks back we heard about the new zombie-themed Archie comic headed our way, and now we have an exclusive early look at the variant artwork for Issue #1 by drawn by Tim Seeley.
Synopsis:
What if the zombie apocalypse began in Riverdale? This horror-infused comic answers that question when it kicks off in late 2013, spearheaded by one of Hollywood’s hottest writers, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who will be fresh off the high profile crossover Archie Meets Glee, along with Eisner-winning artist Francesco Francavilla .
Afterlife With Archie will provide readers with zombie-filled mayhem like only Archie can, taking the Riverdale gang where they’ve never been before – to the grave and back. Jughead’s beloved pooch Hotdog is run over by Reggie in his roadster. He convinces Sabrina to hatch a spell to bring back the pooch, but when Hotdog bites Jughead, he soon craves flesh.

Following the upcoming publication of Archie Comics' new 'zombie' comic book series "Afterlife with Archie", available Fall 2013, written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, screenwriter of the new "Carrie" horror movie remake, comes word that Warners will develop a movie adaptation of "Afterlife", also scripted by Aguirre-Sacasa.
"...'Afterlife with Archie' combines two of my great passions: 'Archie' comics and horror comics," said Aguirre-Sacasa.

Archie Comics Kicking Off a Zombie Apocalypse Storyline
7 June 2013 | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Until now, the closest we've seen to a horror twist on the ever-wholesome Archie Comics series (which has been around for over 70 years) was the storyline teaming up the teen hero and his pals Betty, Veronica and Jughead with the band Kiss to combat a monster invasion. But this news blows that story off the map. Per a report from Deadline.com, Warner Bros. has just sealed the deal for a live-action Archie movie, adapted by screenwriter Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Carrie), and with Jason Moore (Pitch Perfect) signed to direct... but that's not the weird part here: apparently Aguirre-Sacasa has also been hired to write a new comic book series entitled Afterlife with Archie, which finds the squeaky-clean teens battling the living dead in suburban New York. Back in March, Aguirre-Sacasa told Deadline that Afterlife, which evolved from conversations with Archie creator John L. Goldwater, “combines two of my great passions, »

“Archie” Movie Coming…With Zombies
6 June 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
This is definitely the weird, slightly off-putting, slightly intriguing news of the day. An Archie Comics movie is in the works…but zombies look to be involved.
Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, a writer of Big Love and Glee, and big-time Archie Comics fan, was hired to write Afterlife With Archie, a story with Archie, Betty, Veronica and Jughead and zombies, and other horror staples. News hit last night that Warner Bros. has bought a deal to produce a live action film based on Archie Comics, with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa attached to pen the script (he also wrote the script for the upcoming Carrie remake). This seems to indicate that there will be a horror element in play with the high school set comedy.
Archie Comics publisher/co-ceo Jon Goldwater: “We’re thrilled with the team that Warner Bros, Dan and Roy have put together here…Roberto has become a prolific comics writer for us, »

FM Visits The Great American Pitchfest
6 June 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Over this past weekend, hundreds of hungry (literally and figuratively) screenwriters arrived in Burbank, CA to pitch their life’s dream to studio execs. The event invites people far and wide to try to catch lightning in a bottle, that ephemeral feeling that everyone searches for, and rarely finds, in La. The Great American Pitchfest not only can open doors, but is massively educational, offering an opportunity to meet like minded writers and actors and directors who all want to do the same thing, and learn from the best in the process.
There were plenty of free classes and panels, of which we attended several. All of which were illuminating, inspiring, informative, and filled with influential writers and directors. There was also free cake. So yeah, go next year.
The big draw for FM was the fabled, star powered genre writing panel, which featured Tom Holland (Fright Night, Child’S Play, »

Archie Comics Getting Feature Film Adaptation with Zombies
6 June 2013 10:50 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Art by Francesco Francavilla
Warner Bros. is set to make a big screen adaptation of the classic Archie Comics, but there's going to be a little twist... it's going to include zombies. That's right! Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead are going to be thrown into a zombie adventure. I guess that is one way to get audiences in seats. Zombies are huge right now. Throwing zombies into almost any kind of film could enhance its performance if done right.
The movie will be directed by Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore from a script written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Glee, Carrie, Spider-ManTurn off the Dark).
The movie will be based on the comic Afterlife With Archie which was written by the screenwriter of the movie. It "ponders a zombie apocalypse in suburban New York and isn’t replacing the usual Archie Comics, just supplementing them." The story will also provide audiences and »

Book Review: Joe Hill’s 'N0S4A2'
22 May 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
In a recent interview with Vulture, Joe Hill (along with his brother Owen King, who has written a terrific new novel called Double Feature, which isn’t horror but which reads like the best possible mash-up of John Irving and Nick Hornby, with a soupçon of William Goldman thrown in) discussed writing horror in the shadow of his father. While his previous novels, Heart-Shaped Box and Horns, worked to define Hill as a unique voice in horror fiction, “N0S4A2 has a lot of Where's Waldo? tricks with Stephen King. It was very intentional. I thought, Instead of running from the Stephen King stuff, I'm gonna run at it.” And boy, does he: there are more Stephen King Easter eggs in N0S4A2 than in any Stephen King novel since The Tommyknockers: deliberate references to Mid-World from King’s Dark Tower series, an interesting preview of Doctor Sleep, »

Which literary novels should daredevil film directors adapt next? | John Dugdale

The same daredevil spirit that has informed many an apparently insane film or TV version over the past decade has seen adaptations of literary novels
When the Cannes film festival starts next week, William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying, adapted and directed by James Franco, will be in the lineup. The Spider-Man star is known for mixing bookish projects with acting in blockbusters, but has nevertheless raised eyebrows by selecting a novel with 15 narrators that tells the seemingly uncinegenic story of a southern matriarch's death and burial.
This month will also see Paul Thomas Anderson begin to shoot his version of Thomas Pynchon's Inherent Vice, the first of Pynchon's dauntingly complex works to be filmed; and Steven Soderbergh recently announced plans for a 12-hour TV dramatisation of John Barth's The Sot-Weed Factor ("If it works, it'll be super-cool.

Ben Affleck Returns To Boston For His Next Film; Will Write, Direct & Star In Dennis Lehane Adaptation 'Live By Night'
7 May 2013 11:15 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
With his second Oscar under his belt for "Argo" and a plethora of options in front of him -- the Stephen King adaptation "The Stand," the remake of "Tell No One," and out his brewing Whitey Bulger biopic -- the filmmaker will be returning home for another Boston tale, albeit one that will see him raiding the costume departments. First circling the project last fall, today it was made official, with Affleck to write, direct and star in the adaptation of Dennis Lehane's "Live By Night." Pre-production begins today on the story set during the Prohibition in Boston, centering on Joe Coughlin, the son of a cop who finds himself slipping into a life of organized crime. As he climbs the ladder of organized crime, he journeys from Tampa to Cuba, encounters various dames, lowlifes and more in tale of revenge and redemption. So basically, it sounds awesome.

What about Bob? Has the Age of Almost Great Villains Passed?
15 April 2013 11:20 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Ah, Bob. He left us too soon. Not Bill Murray’s Bob Wiley of What about Bob fame but Bob of Batman (1989). Or as the Joker put it: “my number one … guy!” Poor Bob. The world is worse off due to his absence. He’s someone none us should have forgotten but have. He’s got his hits on Youtube but no plans to resurrect him even though he’s leagues ahead of Darkseid, who isn’t even on the radar of most moviegoer.
Originally, I admit this article had been geared to giving the so-called second stringers their due. But that is a bit distortive of the actual record because not all second stringers get forgotten. Just ask old Henry Kissinger. Or need one be reminded of Boba Fett’s massive cult? Nevertheless, too many both second-order and first-order baddies get left behind. Mr. Glass did a good job »

15 Great Directors Under The Age Of 45
6 April 2013 6:01 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Film directing, on first glance, would appear to be an old man’s game. Pick nearly any noted director, from heavyweights such as Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Ridley Scott to the likes of Ang Lee, Peter Jackson and J.J Abrams, and you’ll find that they all have one thing in common – a degree of seniority, with almost every established director or recent winner of the Academy Award for Best Director ranging from their late forties to late sixties in age.
Some might argue that this is because high quality filmmaking requires both maturity and significant experience in the field, which can only come through time, evidenced by how individuals such as David Fincher, Danny Boyle and Tony Scott respectively honed their skills with music videos, theatre and adverts for many years before moving into films. Others may argue, however, that a good director is shaped by dedication to their craft, »

What Happened To The Brady Clan?
5 April 2013 1:34 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
It's been 39 years since "The Brady Bunch" concluded its five-season run, but rerun heaven has kept the series very much alive, and the cast's frequent reunions have allowed them to stay within reach of the spotlight. But what exactly has this lovable clan been up to since their goofy sitcom said goodbye in 1974? Most of them have popped up in a variety of TV shows and movies, but a few others have taken decidedly more low-key paths. Here's the story of what one of television's most famous families is up to today.
Florence Henderson (Carol Brady)
Current age: 79
The only member of the "Brady Bunch" cast to retain her icon status, Henderson appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010. She currently hosts "The Florence Henderson Show," a daily talkfest on Retirement Living TV. Henderson also regularly pops up in guest-starring roles, including a gig on "Samantha Who?" that earned her an Emmy nomination. »
