Before Paramount’s remake of the Pang Brothers’ spooker The Eye (which is starring Renee Zellweger, as I recently reported HERE) can even undergo surgery, an update of its lesser sequel The Eye 2 (which starred pouty-lipped Hong Kong superstar Qi Shu) is already in the works. The American version, titled In-Utero (and hence already in dire … Continue reading
Congratulations are in order for Aint It Cool News’ Drew McWeeny (aka Moriarty) and his writing partner, Scott Swann, who have sold another script. This one is called Invasion, and it’s a horror script built around a home invasion – either the real thing, or the Ice-T record. Todd Garner and Mike Fleissare producing the … Continue reading
Sir Ridley Scott is shopping around a new Encyclopedia Brown franchise, setting up an auction for the movie rights to the popular series of books about the boy detective. Sadly, Donald J. Sobol, the old man who writes those things, is less than pleased.One thing at a time. Producer Howard Deutsch bought the multimedia rights … Continue reading
Masters of Horror is the new show that’s making me consider getting Showtime. It’s a simple, but great concept – get together the best horror directors, give them a budget and one hour to tell a story where they don’t have to worry about the MPAA and all that jazz, and see what happens.

I recently came across these and was moderately amused, so I figured I’d share a little chunk of history for those who haven’t … Continue reading
I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
Brian Helgeland’s A Knight’s Tale is a favorite movie of mine – I think it’s wonderful and fun and just really well-made. I actually love the integration of 70s rock into the period piece. So I get excited when the guy says that he has an idea for a sequel. Of course whether that sequel … Continue reading
There’s big news on Rocky VI today in the pages of Variety – the film is greenlit at Sony, and it is being called Rocky Balboa. Stallone has given some hints about the plot, which will have a widowed, old Rocky climbing back into the ring for one last fight. "There’s a computer fight between … Continue reading
