Nicolas Cage still looks like a constipated deer in the headlights, except he sports long hair a la Tom “Da Vinci Code” Hanks. The trailer is vintage Pang slickness, but will this be the movie that makes us forgive the Pangs for The Eye 10 and Re-Cycle and Cage for The Wicker Man and Ghost Rider?

We only hope that when Dark Floors hits the States, it gets a blow-out like this. Shock reader Tuomas attended the press conference and premiere for “Floors,” the live-action horror film featuring the outrageous rock group known as Lordi. Hit play below for the footage.
After Dark Films and Massify.com are joining forces to develop a horror film solely through the web…and they want you to help them doing it.
The fruits of this endeavor, called “Ghosts in the Machine,” will ultimately become an entry in After Dark’s 8 Films to Die For in 2008. Those who become part of the Massify.com community will have the tools to create, submit, choose the idea and cast the motion picture. One filmmaker will be a producer on the movie, and four actors will have the chance to work on a feature film.
Aspiring filmmakers will have the opportunity to create a range of content along the way, including pitching ideas, auditioning for roles and creating ancillary materials, like a movie poster or song. The initiative will have a series of laddered rounds. The first, the “pitch phase,” will seek out the best new horror ideas, narrowing them down to one, which the script will be based on. This will mark the beginning of the casting round, in which both aspiring and professional actors are invited to upload audition videos to play the four major roles in the feature film. The community will then vote and elect ten male and ten female semifinalists to fly to Los Angeles for screen tests. Once the idea and the cast are chosen, the movie will move into production – all of which will be documented reality-TV style on massify.com. As the film nears completion, the Massify community will pitch marketing ideas that will be used as keyart during the release of the films well and will have the opportunity to score music to completed scenes.
“The ‘Ghosts in the Machine’ contest will offer fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring the next generation of horror film to the screen,” After Dark Films CEO Courtney Solomon says in a press release. “We are confident that in the minds of passionate fans and young filmmakers, the next great horror idea is being dreamt up right now, and eagerly anticipate the opportunity to turn one inspired idea into a feature horror film in a way that has never been done before.”
Massify.com will be giving updates all the way through the production and post production process so that fans can watch and be participatory in the film they helped create and grow. Audiences can also log onto Horrorfestonline.com to catch updates of the production.
Showbox Home Entertainment will release the Thai horror GHOST GAME upon the world on February 25, and retail price is around £12.99. The cover art is shown below but no extras has been announced yet. Also, I’m pretty darn sure that it is not one of the most controversial horror movies ever made like the cover says.
“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.” - Number 35 on the American Film Institute’s list of best quotes from U.S. movies.
Roy Scheider, a two-time Oscar nominee best known for his role (and the quote above) as a police chief in the blockbuster movie Jaws died Sunday. He was 75.
Originally slated for release on October 31 by MGM, we’ve learned that the studio has scrapped the “remake” idea and has sold the rights to the Motel Hell franchise to Twisted Pictures, the dudes behind Saw, Dead Silence and the upcoming Repo! The Genetic Opera. It isn’t clear what they’ll be doing with the film, but we’re told they’re going to turn it into a brand new original franchise. In the original Farmer Vincent kidnaps unsuspecting travellers and is burying them in his garden. Unfortunately for his victims, they are not dead. He feeds his victims to prepare them for his roadside stand. His motto is: It takes all kinds of critters…to make Farmer Vincents fritters. The movie is gory, but is also a parody of slasher movies like Last House on the Left.
Most young actresses would see an Oscar nomination as assurance that they will never again have to make a horror movie, generally the stamping ground of the tightly vested and otherwise unemployed. Ellen Page thinks different. But then the particularly horror movie she’s making is with Sam Raimi, so we’re going to call that a good decision.
The Juno star will appear in Drag Me To Hell as a girl who’s been afflicted with a supernatural curse. This is Raimi’s first horror movie since Army of Darkness (unless you count The Gift), and his first non-Spider-Man project in eight years.
Raimi returning to horror is amazing news. The big disappointment that was Spider-Man 3 suggested that the franchise was sapping his creativity. A smaller project with less attention could be just what he needs to recharge his batteries. And with the always excellent Page on board we’re…well, on board.
