Dead Island Coming Soon — or At Least Eventually — to a Theater Near You, Thanks to Lionsgate

Posted on September 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

They can’t all be Oscar-devouring high-gloss epics: Lionsgate announced today that it has closed a deal to bring Dead Island to the screen, pacting with developer Deep Silver to adapt the celebrated zombie video game as your next major brains-chomping horror franchise. Or next to next, depending on if/when the ‘Gate ever gets Pride and Prejudice and Zombies off the ground. All I’m saying is these guys are serious about their undead, and they’re hoping you are, too. The press release was just dropped off via a curiously grey, slow-moving bike messenger; read on to rewatch the original game trailer and for the full details of today’s agreement.

‘In Short, Catching Hell is a Horror Film’

Posted on September 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

In addition, that is, to an exceptional Alex Gibney documentary premiering tonight on ESPN : “How could the Cubs, up 3-0 and five outs away from the World Series, manage to lose 8-3? Did the players feel the expectation and the dread of its upending and so fulfill their fans’ darkest fears? And why was it that once that game six was lost, most of the fans in Wrigley — and even some of the players, as it turns out — were certain that they would lose the next day, as if the fates had decided to twist the knife in their wound?” [ Grantland ]

Four years after bringing his feature debut Timecrimes to Fantastic Fest (where it won the Best Picture award), Spanish director Nacho Vigalondo returned to Austin, a place so warm and familiar he liked it to returning to the womb. “It’s like going back into my mother’s vagina,” exclaimed Vigalondo, addressing the friendly crowd at the debut of his sophomore film, Extraterrestrial . “So I get inside my mother’s vagina, and for some reason you are all there inside!”

Posted on September 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s probably not a good sign when your movie’s release date is rescheduled twice and eventually kicked back to January, the doom-iest movie month. Unfortunately, that’s the case with the new Katherine Heigl joint One for the Money , which is based on Janet Evanovich’s 1994 novel of the same name. Here are some clues: Heigl drives around with a naked old guy, Sherri Shepherd plays a prostitute who snaps, “I’m hungry,” and Debbie Reynolds accidentally shoots a turkey. Prestige!
