Birthday Suit: Dolph 'the biggest one' Lundgren
3 November 2009 7:06 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Thought I'd goof around with a little b-day series. In case it's yours! Could be shortlived. Or maybe it'll go on forever. You never know.
Hal Hartley , Paprika Steen and Charles Bronson
Today's Birthdays, November 3rd ...some of them at any rate. For those who are prone to celebrating the lives of the filmic and famous. And if you aren't, you're not having enough fun.
1921 Charles Bronson had a Death Wish, five of them actually, and he had them before "franchise" was a daily spoken word in movie discussions.1930 Lois Smith, sweet character actress, is now 79 years old. I once saw her in a train station. It's true. Weren't you shocked when she died on the first season of True Blood? I sure was.
1931 Monica Vitti, breathtaking Italian goddess
1953 Kate Capshaw aka Mrs. Spielberg. Did she sing or was she dubbed for that awesome "Anything Goes" opening number in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom »

Talking The Watcher with Jenna Morasca
24 October 2009 10:20 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Jenna Morasca, professional Tna wrestling star and champion winner of “Survivor: Africa,” graciously sat down with me at the 2009 Big Apple Comic Con to discuss her role in the short segment, “The Watcher,” from the horror anthology, Drive-in Horrorshow (see my thoughts on that here). The film recently screened at the Rock and Shock Festival and will be presented at Killer Film Fest in November.
Js/Fango: Tell me about your role, Cherry, in the segment, “The Watcher,” in the anthology, Drive-in Horrorshow?
Jm: My role I’d like to say that it’s kind of the damsel in distress but kind of with a little more attitude. It was a lot of fun for me to play it because I love playing tough women. There’s a fighter in this character. It was really enjoyable for me to play her because it kind of gives you everything you want »

Exclusive Interview: Saw VI Director Kevin Greutert
22 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
Kevin Greutert is the antithesis of what the Saw franchise reflects. He's humble. Soft spoken. Harmless looking. What this bespectacled fella shares with the series is a knack for keeping secrets. Trying to get a spoiler out of this guy is like trying to get out of a Saw trap rigged by Amanda. It's goddamn impossible. Greutert knows how to play the game. Hell, he's been on the series as editor since the first film, now he's making his feature directorial debut with Saw VI . In between his Saw duties he'd go on to edit The Strangers , Room 6 , The Thirst and Repo! The Genetic Opera . I sat down with Greutert recently for a brief chat about his time in the director's chair. ShockTillYouDrop.com: Was it an easy transition for you moving from editor to »

"The Strangers" Will Terrorize Again! Low Budget Flick Gets a Sequel!
25 July 2009 9:08 AM, PDT | Manny the Movie Guy | See recent Manny the Movie Guy news »
The low budget flick "The Strangers" gets a sequel and is set to begin shooting this fall.
The original, starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman, was shot for $9 million and eventually made $80 million worldwide; hence, the inevitable sequel.
Bryan Bertino, who wrote and directed the first film, will not helm the sequel. He did write the script for it though, and the plot is being kept under wraps right now.
I think Bertino did a great job in setting up the mood and atmosphere of the original film, so why was he not invited to direct the sequel?
The producers instead, hired French director Laurent Briet, a commercial and music video director who also helped shape "The Ring's" visual effects.
We know Tyler and Speedman will not be back for the sequel (unless they return as ghosts Ha!), but one thing's for sure. The masked intruders will continue to terrorize folks, »

25 July 2009 12:39 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Here are some things you shouldn't miss on this July 24, 2009:
• At Comic-Con, Gary Oldman, who stars in the upcoming "The Book of Eli," announced that a follow-up to "The Dark Knight" will shoot next year. "I think the next Batman is next year," he said. "We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me." Already? (via Coming Soon) Update: Well, turns out Oldman was kind of joking. What the hell?
• Coming Soon also chatted with Disney's Oren Aviv, who said this about "Pirates of the Caribbean 4": "We're going to shoot 'Pirates 4' in April or May of next year," he said. "It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger."
• A sequel to the recent horror flick "The Strangers" is set for principal photography this fall. The first one grossed $54 million. Laurent Briet will »

Saw VII and a sequel to The Strangers are in the works
24 July 2009 4:37 PM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Oh, you are mighty tricky, Jigsaw. And Strangers? Just get out.
A seventh Saw movie has just been greenlit by super hit-makers Lionsgate, according to Variety. While the sixth installment of the torture for redemption franchise is due in theaters October 23rd, the next sequel is aiming to start shooting next January.
David Hackl, who was production designer for Saw II, Saw III, and Saw IV, and also directed the oh-so wonderful Saw V, will helm Saw VII. Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton, who wrote Saw IV, Saw V and now Saw VI will sit down at their gold-plated typewriter for Saw VII. (Golly, would it kill this franchise to consider at least using a subtitle?)
Oren Koules and Mark Burg, producers of the six movies of the franchise, will continue to do so.

‘The Strangers 2′ moves forward: Production to begin in September
24 July 2009 2:31 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
"Sorry, I gave at the office."
The Strangers: Part 2 will begin production in September with rumors brewing that the sequel to the 2008 horror flick, The Strangers, is believed to take place in a trailer park.
Replacing the lone bright spot of the film, director Bryan Bertino, is French music video director Laurent Briet. Though written by Bertino and who will likely be influential during production, The Strangers 2 works to duplicate the surprising success of the original.
The Strangers starred Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman as a couple stuck in a house in the woods while masked psychopaths try to ruthlessly kill them. The film was budgeted at $9 million and made an impressive $54 million domestically during a highly competitive 2008 summer.
I wasn’t a fan of the movie yet Bertino’s direction of the film gave something to look forward to. Too bad he’s missing from the director’s chair this time around. »

Variety announced a pair of horror franchise sequels prepping for production starting off with word a sequel to last year's The Strangers will begin shooting next fall for Universal's genre arm Rogue Pictures. The original, written and directed by Bryan Bertino, was a breakout hit centering on a couple whose remote getaway becomes a place of terror when masked strangers invade. Bertino came back to write The Strangers 2, but French helmer Laurent Briet will direct. Briet's career includes music videos and some work on the visual effects for The Ring 2. There is no word on a storyline, but the end of the original film had the invaders heading off in their fan saying something to the effect of "It'll be easier next time." The film ended up grossing $80 million worldwide on a $9 million budget. The biggest question at the end was whether or not Liv Tyler's character survived. »
