News: Craven talks, 'Kombat' returns and Hitting the Silver Screen!

Backseatcuddler.com
Craven spills the beans on ‘Scream’
                Not long ago I theorized that horror icon Wes Craven may just be a tiny bit overrated as both a writer and a director.
                Despite directing two tent poles of the horror genre (“Scream” and “Nightmare On Elm Street”), I argued Craven had yet to make a rock solid three act movie. And has made more than his fair share of truly awful movies.
And seeing as though no angry mobs have stormed my home armed with pitchforks and torches, I will stand by that statement.
                Arrow in the Head recently scored an exclusive interview with Craven, and collected some interesting tidbits about this and that, including the future of the “Scream” franchise.
                Yes, even though “Scream 4” was a failure both financially and critically (in this country at least), it still has a future. Craven and crew are just waiting for a script “worthy” of following up the turd that was “Scream 4.”
                However, the most interesting part of the interview, for me anyway, was this little ditty about why “Scream 4” failed to connect with anyone:
                “Maybe we needed to be more brutal and kill off the central characters. I don't know. I tend to not try to second guess myself.”
                What?!?!? No! You don’t say! You mean instead of stroking the egos of your aging cast, you could have finally, FINALLY had the guts to off one of them and lend even the slightest drop of credibility to your stagnating franchise?! No, no one wants that. What we want are new and exciting ways for killers to avoid finishing the job and instead leave Courtney Cox, David Arquette and Neve Campbell in easily escapable situations. Just like Dr. Evil would do.
                Read the full interview over at Arrow in the Head, if you haven’t already.  It’s worth checking out.          

Game on! ‘Mortal Kombat’ reboot in works
                Get ready to start mashing some buttons because “Mortal Kombat” might just be heading back to the big screen for the first time since 1997’s “Annihilation.”
                Allegedly Kevin Tancharoen is on board as director and Oren Uziel is set to write the script. The two were supposed to resurrect the franchise a few years back with “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth,” but that ended up getting turned into a web series instead.
                Outside of that, not much is known about the project except it has a 2013 release date.

News: 2-D and grindhouse reign supreme


Back to plain old boring 2-D

            Hopefullyeveryone out there is content with watching movies in two dimensions, because thatthird one is about to cost even more.
            SonyPictures announced it’s sick and tired of footing the eye-wear bill for America’swaning love affair with 3-D and other studios could follow suit.
            Naturally,they’ve decided to pass the buck right along to theater chains. And if youthink for one second your local cinema can afford thousands and thousands ofcheap plastic glasses, you are sorely mistaken.
            Despite thelaughably high price tag on a bucket of popcorn, theaters aren’t exactlyrolling in the dough thanks to lopsided deals they made with the big Hollywood studios.
            So, theaterswill likely do what all good businesses do:  Screw over their customers by making themcustomers pay for it.
            The newsisn’t all bad. Maybe the higher prices will scare away enough customers tokill off 3-D for a second time. Only seven more revivals to go and we should berid of the hokey gimmick for good.

‘Grindhouse’ classics come to DVD

Sadly not this one...
            Sadly, noneof them are my beloved “Grindhouse: The Full Theatrical Experience.” One daythough, come on Tarantino and Rodriguez! Make it happen!
            Full MoonEntertainment, the studio behind the cheese-tastic “Puppetmaster” franchise,has gotten their mitts on the rights to some older grindhouse classics.
The plan is to release them uponthe world on Oct. 21, just in time for Halloween.
A quick glance at some of thetitles on the list has me convinced Oct. 21 might end up being Christmas forhorrible movie fans.
“Mutant Hunt,” “Necropolis” and “Zombiethon”are some of the highlights.
Check out some cover art here ortake a look at the full list here.

News: New trailers for 'Centipede' and zombies

‘Centipede 2’ trailer features two kinds of centipedes! 

indiewire.com

                Get out your barf bags boys and girls. The first full length trailer for “Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence” weaseled its way online today and the results are actually less disgusting than anticipated.
Then again, this is only the first trailer, so no need to give up hope yet fans of perverted, stomach-turning horror!
                The trailer contains lots of shots of centipedes, both human and insect, slithering around while new baddie “Martin” does horrible, horrible things.
                In case you haven’t heard, Martin is a mentally ill loner who becomes obsessed with the first film, so much so that he decides to recreate it in a nearby warehouse. Being a mentally ill loner, however, he gets a little carried away. Instead of attaching three people together mouth-to-butt, he decides to go with 12!            
                Considering he’s not a surgeon or even a fully functioning human being, I have no idea how he’s able to do that, but he does. So sayeth director Tom Six!
                Maybe the source of Martin’s impressive surgical prowess will be revealed on Oct. 7th when “Human Centipede 2” hits theaters. I won’t know, however, because I won’t be seeing it. I spend my free time watching horrible movies, but even I won’t sink that low.

ZOMG it’s zombies in 3-D!!  
horrorblog.org
                While we’re on the subject of trailers, a new trailer surfaced today for “Night of the Living Dead 3-D: Re-Animation.”
                This is the sequel to a 2006 remake of George Romero’s zombie classic which I never knew existed. Not only did it exist, but apparently it starred Sid Haig as well.
                And this one sounds like a real winner. First off, it stars two B-movie icons in Andrew Divoff (“Wishmaster”) and Jeffrey Combs (“Re-Animator”) as brothers who go face-to-face with a zombie apocalypse.
                But that’s not what the trailer’s about. No sir. The trailer focuses on a character called “Sister Sarah,” a folksy political nut who bears a striking resemblance to a character Tina Fey played on “SNL” not too long ago.
                My first thought after seeing the trailer was: “Is this really a movie?” I won’t step on it, but give the trailer a watch. Left wing types especially might get a chuckle out of it.

News: More 'Scarface,' Centipedes and really smart people... sigh

Today.com
Say hello to my lil’ friend… again
                Hip hop community rejoice! The day you’ve waited for is finally here! A remake/reimagining of “Scarface” is in the works!
                That sound you’re hearing right now is a thousand hip hop moguls updating their resumes and threatening vicious beat downs if their agents don’t land the lead role.
                I’ve never really understood the love the second take on “Scarface,” the Al Pacino version, received. I mean, the movie is ok, but radically overrated. It’s too long, agonizingly slow and needlessly talky.
                It has his moments, like the killer finale, but most of the three hours that lead up to it are flatout boring.
                Not much has been finalized yet, as Universal is still interviewing writers, but considering the merchandizing cash cow Pacino’s version became, the studio would be dumb not to do this. Like John Connor said: “Easy money.”

The centipede’s back in town!
                I never watched “The Human Centipede.” I like gory movies, I like gross movies, but there are just some things I don’t need to see. It just so happens that seeing three human beings sharing a digestive track is one of those things.
                So when writer/director Tom Six announced his sequel would take the envelope that part one merely pushed and defecate on it, I knew I’d be skipping it as well.
                Recently, Six (who amazingly seems like an ok guy) sat down and spilled some beans on “The Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence.”
                Among the highlights: His plans for a “Human Centipede” trilogy (sweet Jesus).
                Six also commented on whether his reputation as a perverted gore monger (my words) had any effect on the production of part 2. Incredibly, it didn’t. Apparently lots of folks are into mouth to butt stuff.
The recession has clearly made us all nuts.
“Human Centipede 2: Full Sequence” slithers into theaters on Oct. 7.

Smart people are reading your mind!
                I’m not sure I can do this article any justice, but I’ll give it a shot: A bunch of smart people somewhere did something that I can never begin to understand.
                Hmm… not much there. Let me try again.
                Scientists showed some folks a bunch of movie trailers and then used crazily elaborate and expensive technology to recreate the images based off of the subjects’ brainwaves.
                Eggats. The article is interesting, but written for a more science-inclined crowd then myself.
                Plus, I shudder to think about the garbage flowing through my brain after spending the last 10 months watching almost nothing but terrible movies for this blog. Yuck. It’s got to be like a sewer up there now.
                Anywho, my advice to you is to skim the article and skip the big words. Mostly, check out the pictures. The human brain is a horrifying, despicable place. Tom Six would love it there!

'Terminator' runs late, Ghosts en espanol and the slow, public death of Netflix

  New ‘Terminator’ hits the skids?

                You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger ‘Terminator’ fan than yours truly. Heck, I even appreciated “Salvation” for what it was: a dumb, but surprisingly fun ride.
                So, that said, I’m not sure how I feel about this news concerning the next entry in the beloved killer robot saga.
                Director Justin Lin (“Fast Five”) has been attached to the proposed “Terminator” sequel for some time, but it seem another action sequel may just have nabbed his attention: the 6th “Fast and the Furious” movie.
                Lin may be too busy with Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and a fleet of fast cars to spend any time with Arnold Schwarzenegger and a fleet of Hunter Killer robots. At least for a while.
                This could cause problems for “Terminator” which has been sort of fast-tracked. If producers can’t come up with a new entry by 2018, the franchise’s rights revert back to creator James Cameron. By that time “Fast and the Furious” should be nearing its 13th entry, while the slow-moving, but big-talking Cameron might just be getting around to finishing off the “Avatar” trilogy.
Source: Joblo.com

      More ‘Paranormal,’ NEW language
                No, it’s not the Spanish language version of “Paranormal Activity,” which would be awesome.
                What we’ve got is a new poster for a brand new film: “Paranormal Xperience 3-D!” God what a horrible title. It’s like the horror-version of “The Real House Wives of Orange County.” Could you stick any more buzz terms in there?
                This film follows the trials and tribulations of a group of medical students who head to an abandoned mining to find proof ghosts exist. Judging by the hodgepodge trailer, it looks like they find that and a dozen or so other horror clichés.
                The scariest part? This film is from some of the producers of the outstanding Spanish language thriller: “The Orphanage.”

Netflix puts yet another bullet right in its foot
                Netflix is rapidly becoming the new Facebook. Every move it makes just makes people madder and madder.
                And Netflix has certainly earned its place as everyone’s new favorite punching bag.
                The company raised its prices an astronomic 60% over the summer and recently announced it was officially dividing the DVD and Streaming portions of its services into two separate websites.
                The streaming portion will keep the Netflix name, but the DVD-by-mail brand wasn’t so lucky. Despite being the better, more useful half of the company, the DVD half was saddled with the lame duck name: Qwikster. Ugh.
                And from the looks of it, the name is already an unmitigated disaster.
                According to Bnet blogger Erik Sherman, 36% of people in a recent survey said the name “was easily confused with similar names.” That was the number one answer, by the way. Not a great sign for name recognition.
                Several participants noted they couldn’t spot a connection between the name and what the company did.
                Sherman also points out the long line of failure associated with the suffix “ster.” Namely: Napster, Friendster and Flickster.
                There's not a ton of good news in this post. At least now we know why Netflix picked the name Qwikster: It’ll remind people of quicksand and people being caught in over their head. Like Netflix is right now as it continues to bleed subscribers.

Lautner fawns, 'Baywatch' rides again, and Carrie meets The Wolfe

Lautner blown away by ‘Breaking Dawn’
He looks so uncomfortable with all those clothes on
 (Posh 24.com)
                Brace yourself Twihards, part one of “Breaking Dawn,” the Razzie-bait conclusion to the “Twilight Saga,” nay “Twilight Legacy” is only TWO months away.
                Who am I kidding?!?! Go crazy! AHHHHH!
                The perpetually shirtless Taylor Lautner, who plays a third-wheel werewolf in the films, took a break from his day job as “A Piece of Meat,” (that’s an official title) to sit down and watch part one.
                And guess what? He liked it! He really liked it!
                Lautner was “blown away” by what he saw, praised the character development and said co-star Kristen Stewart made for a “pretty hot vampire.”
                “Breaking Dawn” part 1 meanders into theater on November 18. Reserve your tickets now before I get them all.

The Hoff and his chesthair (Giantbomb.com)
‘Baywatch’ to the big screen?
                Finally, I can take my red swim trunks out of storage. The day we’ve all dreamed of is finally upon us: A “Baywatch” feature film is in the works!
                In preparation for the beloved show’s big screen debut, Germany has extradited David Hasselhoff back to the United States and Tiffany Theisen has returned “Amber” to its rightful spot in the middle of her name.
                Peter Tolan, best known as the co-creator of the FX firefighter drama “Rescue Me” has turned in a script to Paramount. At this point, it’s just a waiting game.
                One troubling note: Tolan has said his movie won’t be based on the show, but that there will be subtle nods and winks here and there. Apparently, Hasselhoff and Pam Anderson may return, but will be playing new characters.
              No word yet on whether or not Denis Leary will be donning the red trunks, but we can all keep our fingers crossed.

Career tips for Sarah Jessica Parker  
                Fresh off of Razzies for Worst Actress and Worst Onscreen Couple for “Sex and the City 2,” Sarah Jessica Parker got some more bad news yesterday: Her latest vehicle, “I Don’t Know How She Does It,” failed to get off the blocks.
                The supposed comedy managed just $4.5 million smackeroos at the box office last weekend, good for a 6th place finish. She was resoundingly bested by hubby Matthew Broderick’s newish movie, “The Lion King 3-D,” which made roughly $30 million, despite the fact that it’s 17 years old and no one cares about 3-D anymore.
                Yahoo movie blog, The Projector, has some advice for SJP courtesy of Pulp Fiction’s lovable problem solver Winston Wolfe. Number one on the list: Kill Carrie. Worth checking out. Just click the link below...
