Kyra Sedgwick To Front Sci-Fi Indie Rays Of Light
13 March 2013 7:57 AM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
From 2005 to 2012, Kyra Sedgwick's film career took a backseat to the shooting schedule of her TNT crime drama series The Closer. But after seven seasons and scads of Emmy and Golden Globes nominations.as well as a few wins.the show drew to a close last summer. But don't cry for Kyra. She bounced back with the hit horror flick The Possession. Though critically scorned, the $14 million Dibbuk Box thriller scored at the box office, earning more than $76 mil worldwide. Then her next release, Kill Your Darlings drew wild praise at its Sundance premiere. With two more movies already in post (John Herzfeld's drama Reach Me, and Jay Alaimo's dramedy Chlorine), Sedgwick is lining up her next gig with a first-time filmmaker. Variety reports Sedgwick has signed on to star in Rays of Light, a sci-fi film from Batan Silva. A well-established first assistant director, Silva has »
‘Monster House’ director to helm ‘Poltergeist’ remake
7 March 2013 11:39 AM, PST | doorQ.com | See recent doorQ.com news »
It had been known for a while that MGM was looking to reboot the 1982 classic fright-fest Poltergeist,and had gone through a cadre of writers, including Scott Derrickson, Juliet Snowden, Stiles White and Paul Harris Boardman -all screenwriters of recent horror films such as Sinister, The Possession, Boogeyman and The Exorcism of Emily Rose, respectively.
But when MGM went into bankruptcy in 2009, the plans stalled. When it finally emerged from that nightmare in February of 2011, they announced a list of five films that were high priority to make. One of those five films they felt they should do was the long-gestating remake of the Tobe Hooper classic.
Then quietness fell, as the studio ramped up other films, including The Hobbit (which they had the distribution rights to) and a remake of Robocop –which seems to have many issues during production.
So 14 long months would go by before MGM announced that, »

‘Poltergeist’ Remake Confirms Its Director
7 March 2013 1:09 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
With rumours suggesting Sam Raimi was set to direct MGM’s Poltergeist remake, we can finally confirm Sam will not be the man to bring us the modern re-imagining of Tobe Hooper’s 1980s spooky classic. Over the course of the projects development, the script has been tackled by the likes of Sinister’s Scott Derrickson, The Possession’s Juliet Snowdon and current Oz The Great & Powerful scribe, David Lindsay-Abaire. The latter duo may have had a hand in linking Raimi to the hot seat and also the fact he’ll produce via his Ghosthouse Productions.
Monster House’s Gil Kenan will make only his second live-action feature following 2008s City Of Ember. The Oscar-nominated animated feature which made his name is probably what landed him the gig of retelling the story of suburban family, The Freelings, who find their home targeted by dark forces. In all honesty, we found »

Poltergeist Remake to Be Directed by Gil Kenan
6 March 2013 6:47 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
With news that Gil Kenan (Monster House) will be directing MGM's reboot of Poltergeist, you can finally put to rest the rumors of Sam Raimi (Evil Dead) sitting in the captain's chair. Raimi will still be behind the scenes as a producer on the remake of Tobe Hooper's 1982 classic horror film. Written by committee, the most recent adaptation has seen work by David Lindsay-Abaire (Oz the Great and Powerful), Scott Derrickson (Sinister), Juliet Snowden (The Possession), Stiles White (Boogeyman) and Paul Harris Boardman (The Exorcism of Emily Rose). That's quite the mix of horror writers in there, with Lindsay-Abaire holding it down for the familial aspect of the story that centers on a suburban home possessed by spirits. Hit the jump for more. Deadline reports that Kenan will indeed be directing the Poltergeist reboot, but few other details are available. Kenan, best known for his Oscar-nominated feature Monster House, »

The Dibbuk Box Will Be Back in The Possession 2
6 March 2013 7:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
I thought the Sam Raimi-produced Ole Bornedal-directed horror film The Possession was ok, but it wasn't as scary or good as the actual true story behind the cursed Dibbuk Box. That movie should have been a lot better, but whether you liked it or not, it looks like we are going to see a sequel.
The news comes from Bloody-Disgusting who says "they don’t even have a writer attached yet. To say we’re breaking this news early is an understatement. But rest assured, The Possession 2 is coming."
The first film is based on a true story but obviously the movie made a few things up along the way. The movie followed "Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale.

Supernatural Serial Killer Flick Solace Gains Jeffrey Dean Morgan!
4 March 2013 4:00 PM, PST | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
I can’t say enough about Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Whatever film the guy is in, good or bad, he brings his A-game, and he’s easily one of the better actors around these days.
Thanks to The Hollywood Reporter, we’ve learned that Morgan (The Possession, Watchmen) has now joined Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell as a cast member in Afonso Poyart(Two Rabbits)’s upcoming supernatural thriller Solace, and judging from the synopsis alone, it sounds like a wild ride.
“The story centers on a former doctor with psychic abilities (Hopkins) who is drawn into a serial-killer case, only to find that the killer (Farrell) is a psychic as well — so the two men can detect each other’s moves.”
Solace begins shooting In Detroit on May 20th. »

'Watchmen' Star Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Anthony Hopkins Take 'Solace'
4 March 2013 3:41 PM, PST | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
After playing The Comedian in Zack Synder's film adaptation of Watchmen, it looked like Jeffrey Dean Morgan was poised for breakout success. But starring in a series of disappointing movies like The Losers, The Possession, and Red Dawn hasn't done much to convince the public that he's more than a poor man's American version of Javier Bardem. But hopefully this next project will put him back on the rise, as THR reports Morgan is joining Anthony Hopkins and Colin Farrell in a supernatural thriller called Solace. The film marks the English language debut of Brazilian director Afonso Poyart (Two Rabbits). Read on! As the iconic Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs, the Oscar-winning Hopkins has experience playing someone with a peculiar specialty who is called upon to help stop a serial killer. He'll be doing something similar here, starring as a former doctor with psychic abilities who's recruited »

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Will Hunt Colin Farrell's Psychic Serial Killer In Solace
4 March 2013 1:50 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
While Jeffrey Dean Morgan.s television career, including roles on Grey.s Anatomy, Supernatural and Magic City, has been an all-around success, his cinematic career has been uneven at best, balancing mediocre big-budget films like Watchmen and Red Dawn with mediocre low-budget thrillers like The Possession and The Resident. It appears his next film will probably fall into the .mediocre middling-budget. category. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morgan is next set to star in the supernatural thriller Solace from director Alfonso Poyart (Two Rabbits). In this case, though, the supernatural part of it doesn.t involve ghosts, but psychic abilities. He.ll play a veteran FBI agent leading the hunt for a violent serial killer, played by Colin Farrell. The agent enlists the aid of a former doctor, played by Anthony Hopkins, who also happens to have psychic abilities. But it turns out the killer is also a psychic, and »
The Possession 2 to Re-Open The Dibbuk Box
4 March 2013 12:12 PM, PST | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
The Possession almost worked as a horror movie, but unintentional comedy completely got in its way. Still, we cannot help but be giddy about the following news and hope the powers that be get it right this time.
Bloody Disgusting is reporting that a sequel to The Possession is indeed on its way, though as of yet there are no details available at press time. Given how much cash the original raked in, this news shouldn't come as a surprise, but in any event, there it is.
Synopsis
Based on true events, The Possession is the terrifying story of how one family must unite in order to survive the wrath of an unspeakable evil. Clyde (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Stephanie Brenek (Kyra Sedgwick) see little cause for alarm when their youngest daughter Em becomes oddly obsessed with an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. But as Em’s behavior becomes increasingly erratic, »

A Sad History of Failed Movie Exorcisms
26 February 2013 1:00 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
"The Last Exorcism 2" hits theaters next Friday and if you're like us, you're probably thinking one thing: How can a movie called "The Last Exorcism" have a sequel? It's like the Hollywood equivalent of having 14 "Final Fantasy" games.
But the answer is simple: Exorcisms never really seem to work in movies. For over four decades, film fans have been going to the cineplex for one horror movie after another and the one thing you can pretty much always count on is the fact that when it comes time to try and exorcise a demon from a human host, that attempt will fail and fail miserably.
So with that in mind, we thought we'd take a look at the long and embarrassing history of failed exorcisms in film. And if you ever find yourself sharing space with a demonic interloper, well, you might as well just get used to it. »

The Possession Blu-ray Review
26 February 2013 5:56 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The movie begins by warning audiences that the film’s events take place over a 29-day period. What it should have said is the film feels like it lasts 29-days. The Possession is a stereotypical take on the tried-and-true “innocent girl gets her body hijacked by demons” story that doesn’t give the genre anything new, but a lot of the same. And even that’s not done all that well. Hit the jump for our review of The Possession on Blu-ray. In the film, young Emily (Natasha Calis), “Em” to her family, is coping with her parents’ divorce. Her father, Clyde (Jeffery Dean Morgan), is a workaholic college basketball coach who loves his family, but can’t seem to make time for them. Stephanie (Kyra Sedgwick), Em’s ever-protective mother, constantly worries over her children’s well-being. While staying with her father over a visitation weekend, Em discovers a »

Films Inspired by 'The Exorcist'
13 February 2013 12:00 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Ten-time Academy Award nominee, The Exorcist has inspired generations of filmmakers, but never has anyone done it better than in William Peter Blatty’s The Exorcist. The film still stands with Rosemary’s Baby and an extremely small handful of others as a horror film that won an Oscar. Named as the scariest film of all time by Entertainment Weekly, The Exorcist is a tried and true classic. Moreover, it is one of the highest grossing films of all time, bringing in a grand total of over $440 million dollars around the world. The Exorcist, like so many of the films it inspired was loosely based on actual events. The William Peter Blatty novel, on which the film’s screenplay was based, was inspired by the alleged possession of Roland Doe (pseudonym).
FEARnet will be airing all five Exorcist films, back to back on February 17th. The festivities begin at 2 pm Eastern/11 am Pacific. »
