Jon M. Chu’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation is now playing in theaters. The sequel’s story finds the Joes disbanded and outnumbered as they must square off against not only the Cobras, but also threats within their own government. G.I. Joe: Retaliation stars Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, Channing Tatum, D.J. Cotrona, Elodie Yung, Ray Park, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Stevenson, Walton Goggins, RZA and Adrianne Palicki. For more on the film, here’s clips, images, on set interviews, and all our previous coverage. Last weekend, I sat down with screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick for an extended interview. Over the past few days we've posted what they said about their Zombieland pilot, the Deadpool movie, and their take on Venom. However, that was just the tip of the iceberg because during the interview we also talked about making G.I. Joe, the nine-minute dialogue-free action sequence featuring Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, »

While everyone usually keeps I Know What You Did Last Summer close to their horror-loving hearts as the best genre flick from director Jim Gillespie, we kind of prefer 2005's voodoo freakshow Venom. Neither was really good, but at least Venom had gore.
In any event Deadline is reporting that Gillespie is back with a new teen driven thriller, Take Down. Scripted by Ransom screenwriter Alexander Ignon, the story follows a group of privileged international teens who fight back when their remote boarding school is besieged by armed kidnappers.
Casting begins soon ahead of a UK shoot this fall, and Ignon is already scripting a sequel with an eye toward franchise opportunities.
More soon.

Jim Gillespie is returning to the thriller scene for his first project since 2005's Venom. According to Variety, he'll next helm Take Down, a film "about a group of rich youngsters trying to defeat criminals who are to abduct them from far-flung boarding school." The director made his feature debut in the '90s with I Know What You Did Last Summer. He followed that up with D-Tox, starring Sylvestor Stallone.

Deadline says that the director of I Know What You Did Last Summer, Jim Gillespie, will be directing a film called Take Down, written by Alexander Ignon (Ransom). The film will be Gillespie’s first since 2005′s Venom, a slasher film set in the swamps of Louisiana.
Here’s the plot:
Take Down follows a group of privileged international teens who fight back when their remote boarding school is besieged by armed kidnappers.
Casting will begin soon and the intent is to shoot in the U.K. this fall. Screenwriter Ignon is already writing a sequel to make room for a franchise opportunity.
The storyline sounds a lot like Red Dawn to me. Also, it doesn’t play to Gillespies strength, which seems to be the good old 90′s slasher. The storyline doesn’t sound like one that fits into a slasher film either. It does however, involve a young cast. »

"Ransom" scribe Alexander Ignon penned the story which takes place at a boarding school for the rebellious children of billionaires.
When the "tough-love" school is taken hostage by sophisticated group of criminals, the teenagers take matters into their own hands.

A Planet Fury-approved selection of notable genre DVD releases for the month of January.
Lightning Bug (2004) Image Entertainment Blu-ray and DVD Available Now
Effects guru Robert Hall’s semi-autobiographical film about a small town teen (Reaper's Bret Harrison) who has aspirations to become a special effects artist. An opportunity to manage the town’s local haunted house is thwarted by his alcoholic stepfather and the staunchly religious views of the surrounding population. The solid supporting cast includes That 70’s Show’s Laura Prepon, Hellraiser’s Ashely Lawrence and Kevin Gage. Written and directed by Hall, it’s an affectionate coming-of-age drama that works in spite of an uneven narrative that falls apart in the final half hour. Hopefully this new extended cut will remedy the scripting problems of the original release.
Special Features include:
* Never-before-released extended cut of the film.
* Making-of Featurette
* Audio commentaries with the writer/director and cast. »
