Three Genre Vets Join 'Town That Dreaded Sundown' Remake
8 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Three horror vets join Alfonso Gomez-Rejon's remake of the 1976 slasher film The Town That Dreaded Sundown. The film is based on the true story of a serial killer that stalked a small Texas town in 1946. At least five people were killed and the perpetrator was never caught. Addison Timlin (Derailed, Zero Hour) has already been cast as the headliner. Joining her are Veronica Cartwright, Gary Cole, and Joshua Leonard.
Cartwright will play Timlin's grandmother, who raises her after her parents are killed in a car accident. In a career spanning over 50 years, Cartwright has had many roles in genre films, including The Birds, Alien, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and Candyman: Farewell to Flesh.
Cole will play a deputy who is chasing the hooded killer. Cole is probably best known for his role in Office Space, but to me, he will always be Lucas Buck from American Gothic.

Aftershock Red Band Trailer: Eli Roth’s Fun-Loving Earthquake Flick
1 May 2013 6:17 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Leave it to gore guy Eli Roth to craft a seemingly fun scary movie that brings back fond memories of Drag Me to Hell mixed with Shark Night 3D and a dash of the Final Destination series. Even more fun: Roth doesn't forget to cast himself as a lead. Natural disasters are Hot Right Now, so what happens when vacationing Americans (Hostel, much?) experience a literal shake-up? Turns out an earthquake isn't even half of their nightmare. »

28 March 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
While at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival a few weeks ago, Dread Central had the opportunity to sit down and chat exclusively with one of the beloved leading ladies of our genre - Sara Paxton.
After roles in several horror projects including Shark Night 3D, The Innkeepers and the remake of The Last House on the Left, Paxton is taking her career to a completely new place we've never seen the young actress before with her provocative performance as a damaged trophy wife in E. L. Katz's blisteringly violent Cheap Thrills, which recently premiered in Austin.
During our interview with Paxton, we heard her thoughts on taking some huge risks as an actress in Cheap Thrills and working with her co-stars Pat Healy, David Koechner and Ethan Embry. Paxton also discussed why the role of Violet terrified her and what her "line" would be if she was dared to do humiliating »

In La? Catch a Midnight Screening of 'Final Destination 2' Courtesy of Horror Movie a Day
14 March 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
Final Destination and Shark Night 3D fans, listen up!
Horror Movie a Day will pay tribute to the late, great David Ellis with a 10-year anniversary midnight screening of Final Destination 2 at the New Beverly on March 16.
Why David Ellis? Hmad midnight screening programmer Brian Collins explains:
His movies were hit or miss, but I loved that David Ellis was one of the few non-pretentious big-screen directors out there, making fun genre flicks and having a good sense of humor about himself and his movies (he wanted Shark Night to go out under its original title: Untitled 3D Shark Thriller). So it's a huge shame that he suddenly passed away a couple months back while gearing up to reteam with his Snakes on a Plane star Samuel L Jackson on a new film, because we're not likely to have another guy like him any time soon.

Interview: Sara Paxton Returns to SXSW with Two New Indies
13 March 2013 | Comingsoon.net | See recent Comingsoon.net news »
Even though she's been acting since the age of eight, most moviegoers only began to discover actress Sara Paxton in the mid-'00s when she starred on the show "Darcy's Wild Life" and in 'tween comedies like Aquamarine and Sydney White . She then transitioned into horror with roles in movies like Shark Night 3D and The Last House on the Left , but appearing in Ti West's lower budget 2010 flick The Innkeepers really put Paxton on the map as someone who could do great character work without relying on big gimmicks. Maybe that's why Paxton is back at South by Southwest for the second time, having previously been here two years ago with The Innkeepers . This time, she's in two movies that have been getting attention, Bryan Poyser's comedy The Bounceback and E.L. »

Gordon-Levitt Grabs 'Sin City 2' Lead, Pitt Circles 'Pontius Pilate' and Who Will Star in 'Godzilla'?

1.) Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the latest name to join Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. His character, a cocky gambler named Johnny, is considered one of the film's leads and was originally offered to Johnny Depp. "I love how the first move uses VFX, not to make fake things look real, but to create a heightened world unburdened by the look and feel of reality," Gordon-Levitt said of the project. "Plus, nobody makes a badass like Mr. Rodriguez." Deadline also expects a few "tough guy actors" to be added shortly, with Josh Brolin considered one good possibility. As for Gordon-Levitt, the deal takes him out of the running for a few other roles he has been mulling over. One of those was the lead in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, which now has Jim Sturgess, Zachary Levi and John Krasinski among those left in contention. 2.) Speaking of Gordon-Levitt, he passed »

David R. Ellis 1952-2013
7 January 2013 9:46 PM, PST | FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news »
He may not be a household name nor will he likely be remembered as "one of the greats", but Hollywood has lost a veteran b-movie maestro this week as stuntman-turned-director David R. Ellis has reportedly passed away at the age of 60. The cause of death is currently unknown, although he was in Johannesburg, South Africa where he was preparing to shoot his latest film Kite, a live action adaptation of the 1992 anime. Ellis is perhaps best known for directing the high concept thriller Snakes on a Plane, but his career started as a stuntman in the mid to late '70s with Smokey and the Bandit being one of his first credits. Ellis eventually moved on to become a stunt co-ordinator before getting a break as second unit director on the TV movie Condor followed by Fatal Attraction and eventually such films as Waterworld, The Matrix Reloaded and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World »
