Destroy All Monsters, indie Jewish horror slasher?!
Bits ‘n Bloody Pieces is a quick look at stuff we might have missed, viral-related promotions or items that do not necessarily warrant their own news item.
⢠Deadline says Paul Blackthorne is co-starring in The River. The horror series for ABC, created by Oren Peli, also features Joe Anderson and Bruce Greenwood and concerns a family who goes up the Amazon river to find their missing father.
⢠Kevin Smith has extended an invitation to Megan Phelps, granddaughter of Westboro Baptist Church founder Fred Phelps, to join him for a portion of the Q&A following the screening of Red State at the Midland Theater in Kansas City, Missouri on Saturday, March 12, 2011. Given the fuss Westboro raised at the film’s Sundance premiere, I wonder if Phelps will accept Smith’s offer.
⢠Kaiju madness! That’s what is in store for Guillermo del Toro when he tackles Pacific Rim. A detailed plot synopsis that speaks of giant monsters, a portal to another world that spits out these creatures and the mechanized suits that are created to battle these beasts. It’s pretty spoiler-y, so follow that link if you want to know more.
