Examining the end of the Lake Placid saga
4 June 2013 4:02 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Matt Edwards 5 Jun 2013 - 06:28
The fourth film in the Lake Placid killer croc series is called The Final Chapter. But does it bring the saga to a close? Matt finds out...
“What’s your favourite Lake Placid film?”
You’d be surprised at how many conversations don’t start this way. It’s not for a lack of trying on my part, but it’s a question that seems to bring an awkward air to interactions and induce a strange, saddening silence. I think the problem is that when people think of the Lake Placid films, they think of one complete narrative, rather than four separate films. When asked to consider them as individual entities, they become confused and don’t know how to respond.
Or it could be that most people have only heard of the first one. It’s difficult to know.

Disney's Million Dollar Arm Starts Filming with Jon Hamm
31 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Disney has announced that Jon Hamm's new film, Million Dollar Arm, has started shooting. The movie is being directed by Craig Gillespie (Fright Night), and also stars Bill Paxton, Lake Bell, and Alan Arkin. Here's what the film is about:
Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows Jb Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if Jb doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, Jb comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation?

This Is What The New Chucky Doll Will Look Like
30 May 2013 6:52 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
We're still waiting to find out how a less jokey, more murderous Chucky will go over with fans of the "Child's Play" series. "Curse of Chucky" sets the maniacal Good Guy doll in a darker story, minus the comedy. Director Don Mancini and series writer-producer David Kirschner promised new thrills, and genre icon Brad Dourif will be back to voice the tiny terror. Star Fiona Dourif posted a photo with the new Chucky on her Instagram account this week, and we approve. The differences are subtle, but definitely creepy.
In "Curse of Chucky," Nica (Fiona Dourif) is devastated by her mother's suicide, but locks horns with her older sister (Danielle Bisutti) while trying to settle their mother's affairs. Meanwhile, big sis' daughter is distracted by a mysterious, red-haired doll named Chucky that arrives in the mail. The family doesn't realize that Chucky has a 20-year-old score to settle.

DreamWorks Animation's Trolls Lands a Director
30 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
DreamWorks Animation has announced that their big screen adaptation of Trolls will be directed by Mike Mitchell. Who's that guy you ask? Well, he's currently directing the live action sequences in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie 2 and has also directed Shrek Forever After, Sky High, and Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. It's not the greatest resume of films, but this is a movie about those Troll dolls, so I guess it doesn't really matter. I don't imagine it will be any better than any of the previous films he's worked on.
The film is currently being scripted by Emmy Award-winning writer Erica Rivinoja, who has worked on comedies such as South Park and Up All Night. The movie will be a grand scale musical comedy that centers on how the Trolls came into their vibrant and colorful hair. Chief Creative Officer Bill Damaschke had this to say in a statement:

Trolls Movie Exists, Even Has A Director And Screenwriter
29 May 2013 2:19 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
That sound you hear? That’s me, clomping up the stairs to the angry dome. I’ve been spending a lot of time up there in recent weeks. My head is slowly imploding from the sheer WTFness of everything I am hearing. I’m not certain how much more of this I can take.
Let me try to put this concisely: there is a movie about Troll dolls. It is called Trolls. It is not, unfortunately, a sequel to Troll 2. It is being produced by DreamWorks Animation. And it has a writer and director.
The director? Mike Mitchell, who directed Deuce Bigelow: Male Gigolo, Shrek Forever After and (shudder) Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked. His single non-cringe-worthy credit? Sky High, which did not suck. So he’s the guy in charge of Trolls.
The writer? Here we fare a little better. Erica Rivinoja has signed on to write the screenplay. »

Gina Shay is producing the project which is scheduled for release on November 2016.
Meanwhile, Zach Lipovsky has been set to direct "Leprechaun: Origins" for WWE Studios.
Dylan "Hornswoggle" Postlwill play the title character in this reboot of the horror franchise that began with the Warwick Davis and Jennifer Aniston-led 1993 effort.

Sky High Director Mike Mitchell to Helm DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls; Story Tells the Origin of the Dolls’ Colorful Hair
28 May 2013 2:25 PM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Though DreamWorks Animation’s Trolls movie was first announced a couple of years ago, we now have some solid information regarding the animated pic. DreamWorks Animation announced today that Sky High and Shrek Forever After director Mike Mitchell will helm the film, with screenwriter Erica Rivinoja (South Park, Up All Night) handling the screenplay. The film features the titular dolls that became a phenomenon in the 1960s and again in the 1990s, and is described as “a grand scale musical comedy centering around how the Trolls came into their vibrant and colorful hair.” An origin story of hair isn’t exactly what I expected when I pictured a Trolls movie, but maybe the slightly ridiculous premise is right in line with the peculiar choice of making a Trolls movie in the first place.

DVD/Bluray Review: The Burning!!

Scream Factory has done it again with their recent Bluray/DVD release of The Burning. Never disappointing, the team has taken the time to load the Bluray/DVD with enough special features, new and old, to please the most diehard fan of the ’80s slasher classic. Read on!
The Movie:
For a more in depth review of the film itself, check out our previous article on it in Exploitation Alley (read that baby right here). For those who have not seen the film, here goes:
The Burning begins with a prank gone wrong, in which a group of mischievous kids payback their summer camp’s caretaker, Cropsey, for his cruelty towards them. One thing leads to another, and the guy accidentally gets caught on fire, horribly disfiguring him. Fast forward to a few years later, Cropsey returns to camp, armed with some serious hedge-clippers, and decides to try to slaughter pretty much everyone possible. »

20 May 2013 3:20 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
In what is basically a superhero movie repurposed for a mollusk, DreamWorks Animation has Turbo coming this summer. Ryan Reynolds voices the snail who finds himself with the gift of super speed after a chance encounter with some nitrous fuel liquid. In this new international trailer, we get an entertaining glimpse into the mundane lives of the slow-moving snails, and also get introduced into some of the other snails in the film voiced by Samuel L. Jackson, Bill Hader, Richard Jenkins, Michelle Rodriguez and more. This looks like it could be the second hit for Dwa after The Croods earlier this year. Watch now! Here's the new international trailer for DreamWorks Animation's Turbo from MSN UK (via ComingSoon): Turbo is directed by David Soren (who went from storyboard artist, to head of story, to directing the Merry Madagascar Christmas special) working from a script he co-wrote with Shrek Forever After scribe Darren Lemke. »
