The Cast Of Romy And Michele’s High School Reunion 16 Years Later
26 April 2013 9:15 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
Sixteen years ago today, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion hit theaters. It’s hard to believe it was so long ago… But now we get to revisit Lisa Kudrow, Mira Sorvino and the rest of the cast, which also included Janeane Garofalo, but more surprisingly, Kristen Bauer (!) and Justin Theroux (!!).
Lisa Kudrow (Michele Weinberger)
The former Friends actress has starred in a slew of shows and films. Kudrow currently stars in Web Therapy as Fiona Wallice, a therapist who works with patients over the internet.
Mira Sorvino (Romy White)
Sorvino has popped up here and there, including a 2000 film version of The Great Gatsby and Mimic. The latter resulted in a compound excreted by the sunburst diving beetle being named after her (“mirasorvone”).
Up Next: Alan Cumming, Jennifer Aniston’s fiance and more. »

Blu-ray, DVD Release: The Devil’s Backbone

Ghostly apparitions haunt a rural orphanage in The Devil's Backbone.
The 2001 horror film The Devil’s Backbone is probably the most personal film ever made by Guillermo del Toro (Cronos, Mimic), along with being one of his most frightening and emotionally layered.
Set during the final week of the Spanish Civil War, The Devil’s Backbone tells the tale of a ten-year-old boy (Fernando Tielve) who, after his freedom-fighting father is killed, is sent to a haunted rural orphanage full of terrible secrets.
The ever-adept Del Toro effectively combines gothic ghost story, murder mystery, and historical melodrama in a stylish concoction that reminds us—as would his later Pan’s Labyrinth—that the scariest monsters are often the human ones.
Presented in Spanish with English subtitles, the DVD and Blu-ray editions of the film contain the following features:
• New 2K digital film restoration, »

Jessica Chastain Joins Guillermo del Toro’s Gothic Ghost Story Crimson Peak
5 April 2013 12:37 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After starring in the Guillermo del Toro-produced horror film Mama earlier this year, Jessica Chastain will reunite with the director for his new haunting picture, Crimson Peak. The project has been steadily adding stellar talent to the cast, including Emma Stone (The Amazing Spider-Man), Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) and most recently Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock). The twice Oscar-nominated Chastain adds further star power and gravitas to a picture that del Toro calls a “very set-oriented, classical but at the same time modern take on the ghost story. It will allow me to play with the conventions of the genre I know and love, and at the same time subvert the old rules.” Del Toro spoke more about the picture and more in a recent interview with Steve at WonderCon. Hit the jump for more on Crimson Peak and Chastain's casting announcement. Heat Vision reported Chastain's casting in del Toro's Crimson Peak, »

Three Horror Movie Making Tips From Guillermo del Toro (Video)
21 February 2013 3:40 PM, PST | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
Since breaking into Hollywood with his horror movie Cronos, Guillermo del Toro continued his love of horror movies with Pan's Labryinth, The Devil's Backbone, Mimic and his most recent Mama. The Mexican director shares three tips to making a classic horror movie.

1. Emotionally relatable characters
2. A style in the scares or killings
3. Find new ways to tell classic stories
Del Toro's horror films nearly always include children as the protagonists starting with Cronos, The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labrynth and his most recent film, Mama which he executive produced from new director Read more »

It looks like director Guillermo del Toro is finally going to make more films for us, and it's all going to start with Pacific Rim. After than he's going to get started on a new horror movie called Crimson Peak. This guy knows how to entertain the fans with the story he tells. It's going to be awesome to see what other future projects he ends up bringing to life on the big screen.
Jeff Victor created an incredibly cool cartoon style evolution of the films that he's directed over the years. Here's a note from the artist about the director...
One of my favorite directors has to be Guillermo del Toro. No other director can create a more intriguing mix of horror and humor than del Toro. I remember being incredibly impressed with Mimic when I first saw that in 1997, then a few years later, being overwhelmed with the »

Charlie Hunnam and Guillermo del Toro Reuniting for ‘Crimson Peak’
19 January 2013 6:27 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Guillermo del Toro’s returns to the director’s chair after a five-year absence in this summer’s Pacific Rim, featuring Sons of Anarchy fan-favorite Charlie Hunnam in a starring role. The duo are currently planning a second collaboration, on a haunted house project titled Crimson Peak (which del Toro plans to make his next film).
We learned earlier this week that Emma Stone (Amazing Spider-Man) is closing a deal to play the female lead in Crimson Peak, with production slated to begin early next year. Hunnam is presumably eying the (romantic?) foil to Stone’s character, in a story that del Toro describes as his first foray into horror since Mimic in 1997.
Specific plot details remain a secret, but del Toro has likened Crimson Peak to the old-school haunted house films that ...

Why we're looking forward to Bong Joon-Ho's Snowpiercer
3 January 2013 8:41 AM, PST | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Ryan Lambie Jan 4, 2013
In the making for some time, the covers are coming off Snowpiercer - a potentially brilliant sci-fi movie from the director of The Host...
There are plenty of science fiction movies we're looking forward to over the next year or so - Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity, Neill Blomkamp's Elysium, and Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim are but a few. And if the long-in-the-making Snowpiercer manages to make into UK cinemas in 2013, we could easily add it to our list, too.
If you've yet to hear of it, here's a brief outline of the plot. In the year 2031, a new ice age has wiped out much of humanity - the few remaining survivors trundle through the frozen landscape on a train called the Snow Piercer, an extraordinary contraption powered by "a sacred perpetual-motion engine". As is commonly the case on trains, the Snow Piercer's carriages »
