Paramount Regain Friday the 13th Rights and Set for Sequel
6 June 2013 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
A sequel to the 2009 Marcus Nispel helmed horror remake 'Friday the 13th' has been on the cards for years now. Sadly through various 'rights' issues this has hindered the potential sequel's progress. However, now according to the Hollywood Reporter studio giant Warner Bros have given up their rights to the franchise in order to hop aboard Paramount's 'Interstellar' project from Christopher Nolan ('The Dark Knight'). Now with the rights back in Paramount's possession a sequel will likely be bumped up almost immediately. The 2009 version starred Jared Padalecki ('Supernatural'), Danielle Panabaker ('The Ward'), Amanda Righetti ('The Mentalist') and Derek Mears ('Hatchet III') donning the iconic hockey mask as Jason Vorhees. »

John Carpenter Looking to Make Dead Space Movie
9 May 2013 1:46 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
John Carpenter, the man behind films such as The Thing, Halloween, and Escape From New York, has expressed interest in directing a big screen adaptation of EA Games' creepy horror game Dead Space. During an interview with IGN, the director said,
I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made. You know it's great. The first game was more - I guess it was like Alien - but not quite. It was a little different than that. I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down space ship and they have to start it up and something's on board. It's just great stuff. I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made.
The franchise has already gone beyond the games with novels, »

John Carpenter Would Love To Make A Dead Space Movie
9 May 2013 11:21 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Who would have thought the director of Assault on Precinct 13 was a gamer? Ok, let’s not get ahead of ourselves — he hasn’t said he plays tons of video games, he’s just confessed he’s a fan of the Dead Space game franchise and would like to turn it into a feature film. Wh-what? Yes, we’re talking about The John Carpenter.
Talking to Game Informer (via Den of Geek), the legendary filmmaker expressed his desire to work on a film adaptation of the first entry in the aforementioned game series. He said:
“The first game was more – I guess it was like Alien – but not quite. It was a little different than that. [...] I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down space ship and they have to start it up and something’s on board. »

John Carpenter wants to make a Dead Space film.
The veteran horror director has praised the video game franchise, saying that the film is "ready-made".
"The first game was more - I guess it was like Alien - but not quite," he told Game Informer. "It was a little different than that.
"I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down space ship and they have to start it up and something's on board. It's just great stuff.
"I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made."
The future of the Electronic Arts franchise is in question following the disappointing performance of Dead Space 3. EA has denied that it has cancelled Dead Space 4.

Dark Feed is Indigestible: A Movie Review
27 March 2013 9:59 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »
Directors/writers: Michael Rasmussen and Shawn Rasmussen. Cast: Evalena Marie, Dayna Cousins, Victoria Nugent, Michael Reed, and Rebecca Whitehurst. The Rasmussen brothers are probably best known for the work with John Carpenter on The Ward. This earlier title was a horror film with a strong psychological element. Carpenter does not direct the Rasmussen's Dark Feed. Instead, these two have taken on the filmmaking responsibilities, themselves. Unfortunately, they should have rehired Carpenter as Dark Feed stumbles through a weak premise, poor pacing, average acting and dimly lit settings. The end result is a 28Dla Worst Indie Film of 2013 nomination. The Rasmussen brothers first feature as directors sticks with the psychiatric hospital from their earlier work. Here, several characters are trying to put together an indie film. It is a film within a film, get it? The production does not go smoothly as murderous spirits move about the setting. A black ooze begins to pour out of. »

FEARnet Movie Review: 'Dark Feed'
25 March 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
A few years back a pair of fraternal filmmakers called Shawn and Mike Rasmussen were fortunate enough to have their debut screenplay brought to the screen by John Carpenter. It was called The Ward, and if it doesn't quite compare to Mr. Carpenter's true classics of the horror genre, then at least it was a suitably creepy and well-cast thriller with a few cool twists. I'd be willing to bet that the Rasmussen brothers took every nickel they earned on The Ward and plunked it straight into their directorial debut. It didn't get many festival screenings and it will probably vanish once it hits the massive horror sections of Netflix, iTunes, and Amazon, but the Rasmussen brothers' Dark Feed is actually pretty damn solid.
No, the film doesn't have any actors you've heard of, and yes, Dark Feed has a premise that could easily be described as "basic," "familiar," or even "old hat" by now, »

Indie Horror Month Exclusive: Dread Central Talks Dark Feed and More with Shawn and Michael Rasmussen
25 March 2013 7:30 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Last week the directorial debut from Shawn and Michael Rasmussen - Dark Feed - arrived on DVD and VOD courtesy of Lionsgate Home Entertainment, who nabbed distribution for the indie psychological thriller last fall.
Also co-written by the Rasmussen Brothers, Dark Feed follows a film crew shooting a low-budget horror film at an abandoned psychiatric hospital with a shadowy past that seems to be coming back to life, feeding off its new inhabitants. As the shoot wears on, members of the crew exhibit increasingly strange behavior, leaving those unaffected realizing just how quickly the madness is spreading amongst them. The only problem is the hospital they're stuck inside doesn't want them to escape- at any cost.
Dread Central recently chatted with Shawn and Michael about Dark Feed for Indie Horror Month; check out the highlights from our exclusive interview below!

Review: Dark Feed
18 March 2013 7:07 AM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
The last time that I checked, The Ward was a total suckfest of a movie so, marketing your next horror release by associating yourself with a failure isn’t exactly a high selling point for audiences. The psychological horror Dark Feed comes from the screenwriters behind the John Carpenter flop, giving horror fans a body of work that feels more like an extended episode of Masters of Horror rather than a legitimately terrifying film.
Dark Feed follows a film crew as they experience weird occurrences on location at a closed-down mental hospital. Eventually, the evil that lurks inside the walls begins to feed off of the individuals and take over, causing people to behave strangely. Sound familiar? That’s because the scenario has been done before in films like Grave Encounters and Session 9, and done with better results.

Seven Years Later, 'All the Boys Love Mandy Lane' Gets a Theatrical Release
8 March 2013 2:30 PM, PST | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane is one of those mythical films that could only succeed in the horror genre. After a huge premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival, Mandy Lane was one of the most buzzed-about films of the year. And the next year. And the next year. And yet it has never seen a Stateside release of any kind. Until now.
Directed by Jonathan Levine (whose surprise hit Warm Bodies no doubt made Mandy Lane far more appealing) the film starred Amber Heard (The Ward, Drive Angry) as "good girl" Mandy Lane, who is invited to an end-of-summer party where partygoers mysteriously drop one by one. The flick, produced for $600,000 and bought at auction following the Toronto screening for $3.5 million by the Weinstein Company, has languished on the studio shelves for nearly a decade due to a wide variety of studio problems and indecision.

I still haven’t watched John Carpenter’s The Ward yet so I can’t personally talk about the script. However, if it got Carpenter’s attention, I’m interested to see what other stories the writers can come up with. It looks like we won’t have to wait long to see the end result.
