The very existence of Paranormal Activity 3 may induce a few eye-rolls, but at this point it’s hard to deny the sheer effectiveness of “found footage” horror films. After Time featured a cover story on The Blair Witch Project in ’99, it appeared we’d be in for years and years of copycats, but there have been more than a handful of inventive twists on the young genre. What’s your favorite?

Talking with i09, George Romero revealed that he’s optioned Harvard psychologist-turned-writer Steven C. Schlozman’s book The Zombie Autopsies , which is a zombie apocalypse tale with themes of economic collapse. Also: It’s (100 percent?) medically accurate. “I think about it like the first Hammer Frankenstein film, which was all about very graphic scenes of brains floating in blood and things like that. I want it to be perfectly accurate, almost shockingly so.” So, Night of the Living Dead meets Margin Call ? Why not. [ i09 ]

If Sherlock Holmes could be successfully steampunked into a rakish action hero, there’s no reason The Three Musketeers couldn’t be gearpunked into some tolerable 17th century equivalent — and Athos, Porthos, Aramis and young D’A rtagnan are actually soldiers, so no serious character tweaking is required to send them off into repeated swashbuckling setpieces. It’s not the addition of airships and male dangly earrings that make Paul W.S. Anderson’s take on Alexandre Dumas’ classic, much-adapted adventure such a drag, it’s everything else — the incoherence, the anvil-heavy dialogue, the lack of anything beyond the broadest of characterizations.

When Rhys Ifans crosses paths with Peter Parker & Co. as the villain The Lizard in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot, his performance will partially be obscured by CG accoutrements. But one element of the baddie should be a little more recognizable, even after, as Ifans suggests, audio effects will be employed to make him sound even more otherworldly. Not that he needed much help terrifying intrepid MTV reporter Josh Horowitz, as he did when he unleashed a voice akin to Gollum on steroids. Watch and listen for yourself after the jump.

“Despite [ Dark Blood director] George Sluizer’s claim that he has been communicating with River Phoenix’s family in regard to releasing River’s last film, Joaquin Phoenix and his family have not been in communication with the director nor will they participate in any way.” Bummer. That said, the Lying Dutchman is a pretty good nickname if Sluizer wants it. [ Deadline ]

Following the failure to launch of her recent film I Don’t Know How She Does It , Sarah Jessica Parker has signed on as executive producer for her newest project, in which she may star: A Fair Marriage , a film that follows a woman in a six-year marriage who “rediscovers who she is, what she is capable of and how deep her love for her family runs — by becoming someone else.” Uh-oh. This sounds like the kind of inoffensive tripe that Sarah Jessica Parker has done to death in the past five years, the quirky, but down-to-Earth romance. Since it’s pretty clear that SJP could use a push in a new direction, let’s suggest three genres for which she’s better suited — even if it means she’s zapped in the alien apocalypse.
