Stephen King's Joyland Option Picked Up By The Help's Tate Taylor
2 May 2013 4:08 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
It's a risk to option a book that hasn't even hit shelves yet, but it's one that paid off for The Help director Tate Taylor, who picked up the option for Kathryn Stockett's book before it became a hit. When it comes to authors putting out a popular book, Stephen King's probably a pretty safe bet. But on the other hand, adapting one of King's books for the big (or small) screen is a lofty task, and we've seen varying degrees of success in those adaptations, from Dreamcatcher (don't judge that book by its movie) to the more successful adaptations like The Green Mile and Shawshank Redemption. Where will Joyland fall on that scale? It looks like we'll eventually find out. Deadline says Taylor has been granted an option by Stephen King to adapt and direct the upcoming novel, which is set to hit shelves in June. The »
Jason Statham Will Team Up With Sofia Vergara in “Heat”
8 March 2013 12:33 PM, PST | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Variety reports that Simon West is in the driver’s seat for the remake of the 1986 film Heat which starred Burt Reynolds as an ex-mercenary, working as a bodyguard in Las Vegas and providing protection for his friends.
West will direct Jason Statham (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Crank) and Sofia Vergara (Modern Family) in the film adapted from the book. William Goldman wrote the book in 1985 and adapted it the for the screen in 1986. He will once again adapt his own story for the upcoming remake.
Goldman last wrote Dreamcatcher in 2003.
Watch this scene from the movie Heat (1986). If nothing else, skip to 6:50 for the weirdest action scene…
I can’t picture Statham in this role that Reynolds did first. Statham can act, for sure, but he’s been doing so many action movies on auto-pilot that I’m unsure if he even wants to anymore. It »

Band of Brothers – Where are they now?
3 March 2013 12:01 PM, PST | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Twelve years ago, HBO put to screen a miniseries that was one part Television event, one part historical drama, which had the considerable backing of executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks and the hype of being something of a spiritual successor to their highly acclaimed war film Saving Private Ryan. Through ten one hour long episodes, essentially using TV as a medium to explore a vast and epic journey through the Second World War that would simply be impossible to map on the big screen, and with Stephen E Ambrose’s critically acclaimed non-fiction book as source material and a huge cast representing a collective of real world heroes, one of the most ambitious storytelling exercises the small screen has ever mounted was brought to life. The result was much fanfare, both critically and among the masses, a recurring trope that continues to this day, and the fledgling start »

Cryptid Corner: The 'Jersey Sea Monster'
27 February 2013 3:00 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Although we tend to keep this series focused on monsters of myth and legend whose existence remains unconfirmed, we just couldn't pass up a story that's been shaking up the web recently. Earlier in the month, a series of photos showed up on Reddit showing a horrific sea creature that looks uncannily like the alien larva nicknamed the “shit-weasel” from the Stephen King movie Dreamcatcher. It was reportedly pulled out of the Raritan River in New Jersey two summers ago by a man who was fishing with a bow and arrow. Since then, the photos went viral and have pulled in over a million hits to date, prompting articles on everything from Gawker to The Huffington Post to the New York Daily News. Experts at Outdoor Magazine, presumably a more astute authority on creatures of the wild (and they don't get much wilder than this), suggest this is a sea »

DVD Review: The Corridor
19 February 2013 5:01 AM, PST | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Stephen Chambers, James Gilbert, David Patrick Flemming, Matthew Amyotte, Glen Matthews, Nigel Bennett | Written by Josh MacDonald | Directed by Evan Kelly
Popping The Corridor into my DVD player I was first reminded of Lawrence Kasdan’s film adaptation of Stephen King’s Dreamcatcher – after all the plots are eerily similar: A group of friends head off to a snow-covered cabin in the woods and stumble across… something. In the case of Dreamcatcher it was aliens, in the case of The Corridor it’s something altogether more metaphysical.
Following his mother’s death, Tyler suffers a nervous breakdown, which results in him severing ties with his childhood friends. Years later, the group of friends decide to reunite for a weekend at his late mother’s country house in an attempt to rebuild friendships. Isolated deep in the snow covered forest, they stumble upon a mysterious supernatural hallway (the »

Supercut: Watch a Whole Bunch of People Get Hit By Buses
5 February 2013 2:04 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Hey, do you know that wonderful feeling of elation when you simply cannot express how fantastic it is to…
*Gets Hit By A Bus*
Peel yourself off the asphalt, because you have twelve minutes of non-stop human squashitude to relish like the masochist you are, thanks to editor Harry Hanrahan's "Hit By a Bus* - The Supercut."
There's an asterisk next to the title because there's a couple car accidents, a truck and at least one tiny parking enforcement vehicle thrown in for good measure in scenes taken from the likes of "Mean Girls," some "Final Destination," etc.
While we're sure he probably forgot a few (there's a particularly great one of Damian Lewis getting plowed into in "Dreamcatcher") you should consider this cliche supercut fairly extensive. After you watch enough of this human roadkill porn, you may find yourself asking, "Is that the same bus I just saw a minute ago? »

“The Expendables” co-stars Dolph Lundgren and Steve Austin re-team for “The Package”, a slam-bang actioner from Jesse Johnson, who directed a little-known but I think underrated action flick called “Pit Fighter” from 2005.

Dthe Package features Austin as Tommy Wick, a nightclub bouncer and enforcer for Seattle crime boss Big Doug (Eric Keenleyside, Dreamcatcher, Firewall).

Unearthing Buried Stephen King Stories: 'Weeds' and 'The Glass Floor'
2 January 2013 11:00 AM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Before 1967, Stephen King was not a professional author. Certainly he was a writer; according to his memoir On Writing, King had been writing since 1953, when he was six. He’d also been published, sort of. After a series of self-published works like People, Places, & Things (with friend Chris Chesley) and The Star Invaders, and stories in his brother’s newsletter, Dave’s Rag (Rush Call, Jumper), King placed stories (The 43rd Dream, Code Name: Mousetrap) in his high school newspaper, The Drum. He achieved his greatest success in 1966 with I Was a Teenage Grave-Robber (later published as In a Half-World of Terror) in the fan publication, Comics Review.
In 1967, however, King made his first professional sale. King’s short story, The Glass Floor, appeared in the sixth issue of Robert A.W. Lowndes’ pulp magazine, Startling Mystery Stories. Lowndes had made a name for himself in the realm of speculative fiction, »
