⢠The UK is getting a Fantastic Factory collection on DVD. I know, exciting times. Beyond Re-Animator, Faust, Arachnid and Romasanta: The Werewolf Hunt are included to celebrate Brian Yuzna’s deceased production company. The set arrives on April 18 with a bevy of bonus content.
⢠You didn’t think the long-mooted Suspiria remake was dead, did you? The Playlist talked to director David Gordon Green who says Natalie Portman was interested in starring, however, Black Swan sort of sapped that interest. He adds, “My version isn’t necessarily about ballet, it’s more of an all-girls boarding school, so I think [Portman’s] probably too old to pass for a high school-er. I donât think it will have names, but hopefully it will be at a studio. Because I definitely enjoy having a movie that gets marketed that people go to see.”
⢠Bloody-Disgusting reports Shark Night is back in front of the cameras for some additional photography. David Ellis directs. The site revealed some more plot details, including the fact that the sharks that attack the main characters may have been dropped in a lake to cause terror. A freshwater lake? Ummmm…
⢠The Dark Shadows legacy lives on in a radio program you can now order here. The show is in its second season and features Jerry Lacy, Lara Park, David Selby, Kathryn Leigh Scott, James Storm, John Karlen, Jamison Selby, David Warner and Andrew Collins.
⢠There’s a new indie film on the way called The Reunion and it’s described as The Wire meets Dawn of the Dead. A poster (below) hit the web and if you follow this link you can watch a teaser trailer and a clip. Gina Lynn (adult film star), Joseph Gannascoli (The Sopranos) and Samson Styles (BET) star.
⢠The Roommate is coming to DVD and Blu-Ray on May 17.
⢠Are you eating enough greens? A teaser for Killer Kabbage flooded my e-mail in-box over the weekend. According to those who submitted this teaser for our review say it’s not actual film footage, shooting officially begins in May and some seasoned FX artists are created the titular creatures.
⢠An eight-page preview of “The Walking Dead” #83 can be found right here. It hits stands this week.
⢠Did you know Ash has teamed up with the ladies of the comic book series “Danger Girl”? Yep, it’s “Danger Girl and the Army of Darkness,” milking that Evil Dead property for all its got. You can preview issue number three at CBR now.
