While Paramount+’s reboot of Frasier, which just received a series order, has the full blessing of original show creator David Lee, it will not be front of mind.
Lee — who started Frasier alongside Peter Casey and the late David Angell, his colleagues in Grub Street Productions — is not involved; it’s being reimagined by star Kelsey Grammer’s Grammnet Productions, CBS Studios and scribes Chris Harris and Joe Cristalli.
“My writing partner Peter Casey and I are not generally fans of the reboot idea,” the nine-time Emmy winner says, “but if someone can come up with a great premise, a great script and a great staff of writers and actors, then we say, ‘Go for it!’ Hopefully for 11 years [like ours did]. We won’t be involved in the sausage-making, though.”

I had a choice to see one of two Fantasia films playing at the same time: A Gay American Werewolf In London or Lesbian Vampire Killers. I went with the latter because: 1) The first movie doesn’t exist, and 2) I’m a sucker for catchy titles. However, horror films, like porno flicks, with memorable monikers usually don’t live up to their names. But Lesbian Vampire Killers (which screened at Montreal’s Fantasia Film Festival this month) does—and not in all the ways you would expect. I was anticipating a bunch of girl-on-girl action with topless, bloodsucking lesbian ladies engaging in titillatingly licentious and raunchy sexual and violent acts, and while Lvk does have its share of girl-on-girl kissing and bloodletting, director Phil Claydon stays away from profligacy and pornography and instead delivers a crowd-pleasing, entertaining horror-comedy in the vein of Shaun Of The Dead.

Below you can checkout the complete specs, and a large set of breasts for Lesbian Vampire Killers. The film is preparing for its UK release on DVD and the studio has sent over the complete details. One instance where the title says it all, Lesbian Vampire Killers finds screenwriters Stewart Williams and Paul Hupfield and director Phil Claydon plunging headfirst into guilty pleasure territory with an unrestrained, sex-laden horror comedy. The picture stars Mathew Horne and James Corden of Gavin And Stacey fame as (respectively) Jimmy and Fletch, two buddies who wind up the unlikely sav...

Thanks to our reader Christopher M, we've got seven new sexy photos from the indie comedy Lesbian Vampire Killers that I just can't help but share with all of you. This film is actually getting its official Us premiere at SXSW next week (on Monday March 16th), but unfortunately I won't be there. I would love to see it, I just can't make it down to Austin. For those of you, like me, who won't be able to see it until it eventually gets a Us distributor, we can both weep softly while enjoying these new photos. If you haven't seen the trailer for Lesbian Vampire Killers yet, please watch it! And check out these new photos. For more madness, head to the official website: LesbianVampireKillersMovie.co.uk Lesbian Vampire Killers is directed by British filmmaker Phil Claydon, of the 2002 horror flick Alone. The script was co-written by Paul Hupfield and Stewart Williams,...

Imagine being two lost Welsh men on holiday wandering into a town and selected to become sacrifices to the local lesbian vampires in order to keep the town’s women safe.
That’s the premise behind Lesbian Vampire Killers, a comedy from director Phil Claydon (Alone) working from a script by Paul Hupfield and Stewart Williams (Balls of Steel). James Corden and Matthew Horne (the stars of the BBC series Gavin and Stacey) topline as the would-be victims.
The project has been kicking around for some time, at one point being considered for Hammer Films before it was picked up by Momentum Films. At the Cannes Film Festival in May, Claydon described the film as a comedy horror in the style of an old Hammer classic and told BBC News, “It will have you laughing and screaming in the auditorium.”
Associate Producer Rob Lewis told Fangoria, “I can’t quite...
