What the Hell Happened to RISE?

I don't really keep up on horror films as much as some folks around here so I'm curious if anyone has heard anything about RISE, a vampire film with Michael Chiklis and Lucy Liu. Best as I can tell it was shot in 2005 and I haven't heard of any timeframe for release.

It's a "Ghost House" fillm if that means anything. Was there some especially awful buzz that passed me by?

OHHH, Chiklis in a vampire movie?! Would he be a vampire or a vampire killer?

I'm on it!

Funny, Dave Davis went on a set visit for this back in 2005.

As far as I can tell, it's still on its way. But Chiklis isn't a vampire.... he stretched his career and played a cop.

Maybe he'll go back to his fun-loving "Commish" persona this time. There are vampires on the loose and his wife wants the house painted. What's a Commish to do?

Gugino Is A Hot Vamp In Rise

Carla Gugino, who plays a sexy vampire in the upcoming horror movie Rise, told SCI FI Wire that the long-gestating film is finally finished and should reach theaters soon. Gugino (Night at the Museum) completed the Ghost House Pictures production before starting work on her short-lived CBS SF series Threshold, which debuted last fall and was canceled after a short run; it's now available on DVD.

"That one just has taken forever," Gugino said in an interview, referring to Rise. "I think now it's finally finished. I know that they've just finished all the scoring and all of that. It's been an incredibly long process. But I do think now it will be released in the near future. I don't know when, but it's now done-done, so that's good."

Rise was written and directed by Sebastian Gutierrez, who previously directed Gugino in Judas Kiss and Mermaid Chronicles Part I: She Creature and wrote an episode of Gugino's other short-lived ABC series, Karen Sisco. Rise stars Lucy Liu as a reporter who's killed by vampires and is brought back to life and goes on a rampage against them. The film also stars Michael Chiklis (Fantastic Four), James D'Arcy (An American Haunting) and Samaire Armstrong (Stay Alive).

"Rise is a vampire film noir, and I play a vampire femme fatale named Eve," Gugino said. "So that part is very dark and sexual and interesting. And that movie is just really cool. Lucy Liu and Michael Chiklis are awesome in it." Gugino next appears in the family fantasy film Night at the Museum, playing a scholarly docent opposite Ben Stiller; it opens Dec. 20. —Ian Spelling

Given a choice like that, I'd paint the house 1st. The vamps can wait, 'cause they got nothin' on a wife on a rampge about undone chores. At least you can hide from them during the day. . . .

Apparently this is shwing at the Tribeca Film Festival under the DTV-ish title RISE: BLOOD HUNTER.

Actually, Rise's demise is being precipitated by flagging sales. People are turning to Barbasol and new products like Edge Shaving Gel for their shaving needs. There is no longer a third shitf at the Rise factory. There have been layoffs. More are expected. Damn shame, really.
