"Freddy vs. Jason 2" -- Maybe Yes, Maybe No

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Mon, 2005-05-09 00:00

Yes, it just might. Rumor spouting machine and Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, recently spoke to JoBlo.com about why Freddy vs. Jason vs. Ash fell through, and what to expect in a future film incarnation featuring the two titular titans of terror. Englund hints at Michael Meyers entering the fray, but who knows if that will happen. To read the interview (which also brings up the topic of a possible "V" miniseries), simply click the following link: http://joblo.com/index.php?id=7389 .

"Alien vs Predator" Sequel In the Works

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Mon, 2005-05-09 00:00

No, it's not your eyesight-you (maybe unfortunately) read that headline correctly. AVP 2 is probably happening. 20th Century Fox co-chairman Tom Rothman had this to say about the sequel:

"In the new ALIEN VS. PREDATOR, they will finally actually really come to our world…It's likely that we will bridge the gap, and the beginning of that will be setting it in our contemporary universe."(read more...)

Ash Gets Groovy in "Evil Dead: Regeneration" Video Game

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Mon, 2005-05-09 00:00

So a new Evil Dead game has been announced. That makes this the third time Ash (from the housewares section of S-Mart) will fight a horde of Deadites. When I first saw the news, I thought, "Oh, that's pretty cool." What I didn't know, at the time, however, is that the game also allows Ash the pleasure of teaming up with a 3-foot tall Deadite in an attempt to put a stop to Dr.(read more...)

Ash to Face Herbert West in Comic

Submitted by Spooky Steve on Mon, 2005-04-25 00:00

There's been a couple Army of Darkness mini-series hitting comic stores within this past year which really have been not all that great due to the fact that they just kind of rehash famous dialouge and situations from the Evil Dead trilogy and bring not many new ideas to the table (and this is coming from someone who would buy and cherish a can of tuna if it had the Army of Darkness logo printed on it), but hopefully things will start to improve for the AoD comics, as t(read more...)

Audition is genius director Takashi Miike's most popular film (and really, the film that made his name known in America). 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!
