Romero Allowed Reshoots on "Land of the Dead"

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Tue, 2005-04-12 00:00

It was written awhile ago that George Romero wanted to film reshoots that he considered extremely vital for his newest film, Land of the Dead. Well, it has just been announced that Romero has been granted access to reshoot the scenes, and indeed will begin filming them few very soon. Universal, the company responsible for releasing Land, has said that they are extremely pleased with how the film is looking so far, and have decided to grant Romero his reshoot wish in an effort to make the film look "even better".

Lion's Gate apparently has the rights to the film (as opposed to Ventura Distribution, who previously released the film on DVD in America), and as a result are going to release an all-new DVD full of…yep, you guessed it: special features!

Sci-Fi Originals Coming to the Small Screen in 2005

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Tue, 2005-04-12 00:00

The Sci Fi Channel is widely renowned for the unique brand of original motion pictures it produces-masterpieces in both script, direction, and visuals.

Okay, so, that's not it at all, but Sci Fi is great for satisfying your corny B-movie craving, and by the looks of their recently announced 2006 lineup of Sci Fi originals, next year will continue their tradition of showing you the most abhorrent-yet-loveable movies since the days of Ed Wood! Here's the list:

* Fire Alien, a tongue-in-cheek film about a fire-breathing alien, produced by William Shatner.

* Gryphon, an epic fantasy about a prince and princess from opposing sides of two warring kingdoms who must join forces to defeat a mystical gryphon conjured by an evil wizard.(read more...)

Come on, you thought that the 30th anniversary of Spielberg's aquatic terror masterpiece was going to go unnoticed? Yes, that's right-a new 30th Anniversary Edition DVD of Jaws has been announced, along with what the 30th Anniversary moniker will bring to the disc. Observe the special feature specs:

Tarantino Not Attached to "Friday the 13th" Sequel

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Mon, 2005-03-28 01:00

t is quite a rare occurrence for me to actually become pissed--and I mean pissed as in slamming my fist on the computer desk and growling in anger--as a result of reading some recent movie news, but Quentin Tarantino has made the inner, ultra-obsessive nerd in me very, very angry, and me no like. You see, recently I reported on Quentin Tarantino's possible involvement with a new Friday the 13th film. The rumor was, as they say, a fanboy's wet dream, but about two days after first reporting the glorious rumor, my hopes for a fresh, new, and truly unique entry into the Friday the 13th series were squelched like a puny human under Kong's foot, as Empire Online asked Tarantino himself whether or not his involvement with Friday was true…and the answer sucked. Here's what Quentin said:(read more...)

Craven Says He's Disappointed with "Cursed"

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Mon, 2005-03-28 01:00

If you by chance went to see Cursed, let me just apologize to you. Being a victim of the lycanthropic cinematic travesty myself, I can safely proclaim that no living creature should ever have to be subjected to such torture as Cursed dished out (and I DO NOT mean that in a good way). Not only was the movie horrible, but it also signified the uselessness of Wes Craven's (who directed it, for those that don't know) "master of horror" title.(read more...)
