Horror Movie News
I needed to post, so here's some horror movie news stories from your resident Blog Nation horror movie buff.
Story #1: Variety reports that Paramount is starting work on a remake of George Romero's 1972 movie The Crazies, with Romero on deck as an executive producer. The remake will update the original's storyline, which depicted a military quarantine of a small Pennsylvania town infected by a biological weapon that causes permanent homicidal insanity in its victims. I haven't seen the original Crazies, but it sounds cool. I've heard it described as what would have happened in the 28 days that 28 Days Later skipped over, and if that's accurate, then both movies should be awesome.
Story #2: Steve Hoban (producer of the Ginger Snaps trilogy) is set to shoot a remake of the 1975 cult classic Black Christmas. Considered by many as the grandfather of the slasher subgenre, the storyline revolves around an unseen murderer killing the residents of a sorority house. This is another "classic" horror movie I have yet to see, so I'll reserve my opinion until I actually see it.
Story #3: The official website for Seed of Chucky has opened up, and you can either get the link from the "Blatant Movie Shilling" section or by clicking here.
Story #4: There's a few casting shake-ups in Rob Zombie's sequel to House of 1000 Corpses, currently titled The Devil's Rejects. Karen Black and Robert Mukes have dropped out of the movie due to paycheck disputes, and Mukes has been replaced by Tyler Mane. Also joining the cast are William Forsythe, Danny Trejo, Ken Foree, Michael Berryman, Steve Railsbeck, and P.J. Soles, with Kane Hodder signed on as the stunt coordinator. I haven't heard anything on who will be replacing Black, but they better do it soon, because filming is supposed to start at the end of the month.
That's all the news that's fit to print. Sutton out.
