Despite the global success of the "Fast and the Furious" franchise (the sixth installment comes out this summer), Paul Walker hasn't emerged as a Hollywood star. As he told Indiewire at the recently wrapped SXSW Film Festival (supporting his indie thriller "Hours"), much of that stemmed from not wanting to be one in the first place. Now? Not so much. Aside from "Fast & Furious 6," the actor will be appearing in action-comedy "Pawn Shop Chronicles," the thriller "Vehicle 19" and "Hours," which is the directorial debut of "Final Destination 5" screenwriter Eric Heisserer and is the story of a father (Walker) struggling to keep his baby girl alive in a flooded (and deserted) hospital during hurricane Katrina. Walker also recently signed on to topline "Brick Mansions," an action pic from the makers of "Taken," based on the popular French thriller "District B13." In our interview, Walker candidly explains why it took »

*Editor’s note: All of us at Icons Of Fright are more than happy to welcome Kalyn Corrigan to the Icons gang, as she is going to be a contributor to the site, beginning with this great interview with Emma Bell that she conducted at the 2013 Dallas Sci-Fi Expo. Welcome aboard Kalyn! * -Jerry Smith
No matter what role she’s playing, Emma Bell always delivers. It’s hard to think of Adam Green’s chiller Frozen without recalling Parker’s heartfelt monologue about her dog, who would surely starve if she didn’t make it back home. In the post-apocalyptic show The Walking Dead, one of the most memorable moments was in season one, when Andrea lost her sister Amy to a herd of walkers. Bell’s undeniable talent is evident by her strong presence in any feature. Her ability to bring emotion to any scene makes every project »

Austin - Eric Heisserer has had a tough career to judge as a screenwriter. His produced credits so far are "Final Destination 5," "A Nightmare On Elm Street," and "The Thing," and I would genuinely have a hard time finding much good to say about any of the three. I would have an equally hard time blaming much about the films on him, because I am keenly aware of just how insignificant a part of the machinery you are as a writer when you're working on franchise films and high-stakes remakes for the studios. The key decisions on all three of »

Well shut my mouth. I know I promised that 'The Possession' spoofing new one-sheet for 'A Haunted House', we posted earlier this week, would be the last leading up today's theatrical opening stateside...but that wasn't quite the case. Just under the wire appeared another poster making sure it can help cash in on the recent promos for 'Texas Chainsaw 3D'. It features Marlon Wayans ('Scary Movie') once again this time posing in place of the legendary Leatherface accompanied by a terrified teddy bear plus the tagline 'Horror's About to Get Ripped a New One'. Essence Atkins ('Dance Flick'), Cedric the Entertainer, David Koechner ('Final Destination 5'), Nick Swardson, Dave Sheridan ('Scary Movie') and Affion Crocket all star. Check the Final poster below. »

Talent agent Abram Nalibotsky has departed the Gersh Agency and joined Jeff Berg's new unnamed talent agency, according to multiple sources.

Horror spoofs and parodies aren't exactly brimming with originality these days. Aside from already having endless source material to weave into a rather thin and nonsensical plot with sporadic attempts at humour thrown in you'd have thought maybe some effort would at least go in to the marketing materials. But no such luck. Open Road Films have revealed the latest parody poster which this time focuses on the one-sheet for last years 'The Possession' and becomes one of many posters (and hopefully the last!) that already mocks and merely tweaks an existing design. 'A Haunted House' opens this Friday in the Us and stars Marlon Wayans ('Scary Movie'), Essence Atkins ('Dance Flick'), Cedric the Entertainer, David Koechner ('Final Destination 5'), Nick Swardson, Dave Sheridan ('Scary Movie') and Affion Crocket. Check out the new poster below. »
