Special Features

Now here are two things that could go together as well as peanut butter and jelly: John Carpenter and Dead Space. Check out what the Master of Horror had to say about potentially helming an adaptation of the popular video game series.

"You know it's great," Carpenter told Game Informer in relation to the Dead Space franchise. "The first game was more - I guess it was like Alien - but not quite. It was a little different than that. I maintain that Dead Space would just make a great movie because you have these people coming onto an abandoned, shut-down spaceship, and they have to start it up and something's on board. It's just great stuff. I would love to make Dead Space [into a film], I'll tell you that right now. That one is ready-made."

Carpenter also chimed in with his $.02 about the Aliens: Colonial Marines fiasco. "It's all about money," he said. "It's not that something is being mistreated, it's just another marketing issue." Admitting he was suckered into buying the game, he added, "They're trying to get you to buy the game, which I stupidly did."

Dead Space Synopsis:
Dead Space is a third-person survival horror action video game developed by EA Redwood Shores (now known as Visceral Games) for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows. It was released on October 14, 2008, on the consoles and October 20 for Windows. The player takes on the role of an engineer named Isaac Clarke, who battles the polymorphic undead species called the "Necromorphs" on board a stricken interstellar mining ship named The USG Ishimura.

Hopefully we'll have more to report soon!

The TV Upfronts begin next week, but already the networks are making announcements to attract advertisers. Fox picked up four new shows, including one we've had our eyes on for a while: "Sleepy Hollow," directed by Len Wiseman. We have all the details and some early photos.

"Sleepy Hollow," from Star Trek team Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, finds Ichabod Crane (Tom Mison) being resurrected to find a world on the brink of doom. Here's the official synopsis:

From co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (the Star Trek and Transformers franchises, “Fringe”), the thrilling new action-adventure "SLEEPY HOLLOW" is a modern-day retelling of Washington Irving’s classic. ICHABOD CRANE (Tom Mison) is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to find that the world is on the brink of destruction and that he is humanity’s last hope, forcing him to team up with a contemporary police officer (Nicole Beharie) to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers.

"SLEEPY HOLLOW" is from K/O Paper Products in association with 20th Century Fox Television. The series is co-created by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Phillip Iscove and Len Wiseman (“Hawaii Five-0,” Underworld and Total Recall). The series is executive-produced by Kurtzman, Orci and Wiseman and Heather Kadin. Iscove serves as supervising producer. Wiseman directed the pilot.

Along with "Sleepy Hollow," Fox nabbed "Almost Human" (working title) from J.J. Abrams and J.H. Wyman, which stars Karl Urban, Michael Ealy, and Lili Taylor. It follows police officers partnered with lifelike androids 35 years in the future, and the pilot was directed by Brad Anderson. (We won't be covering "Almost Human" any further probably, but with names like Abrams, Anderson, and Urban involved, we figured a lot of you would be interested.)

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer J.J. Abrams and creator/executive producer J.H. Wyman and starring Karl Urban, Michael Ealy and Emmy Award nominee Lili Taylor, "ALMOST HUMAN" (working title) is an action-packed police drama set 35 years in the future, when police officers are partnered with highly evolved human-like androids. An unlikely connection is forged when a cop with an aversion to robots and a robot with unexpected emotional responses investigate cases in a brave new world.

"ALMOST HUMAN" (wt) is produced by Bonanza Productions Inc. in association with Bad Robot Productions and Warner Bros. Television. The series is created by J.H. Wyman, who wrote the pilot. The series is executive-produced by Wyman, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk. Kathy Lingg (“Person of Interest,” “Revolution,” “Fringe”) and Reid Shane (“Fringe”) are co-executive producers. Brad Anderson (“Fringe,” “The Killing”) directed and served as co-executive producer on the pilot.

Keep a grimm outlook in the comments section below!

At Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012, I stumbled across a little movie called Jacob (review here), and it completely blew me away. For a completely independent picture made for extremely little money, it packed an emotional punch that few mainstream horror films can pull off.

Truth be told, I've paid to see movies in the theater that display less skill and power than Jacob, and that's a damn shame, but finally someone was wise enough to pick up this gem for distribution, and as of April 16th, Jacob is out on DVD and Blu-ray for your viewing pleasure courtesy of Kino Lorber's Horizon Movies.

Jacob had a return performance at this year's Texas Frightmare Weekend to celebrate its release, and I sat down with main man Larry Carrell to chat about writing, directing, and acting in the film.

Mr. Dark: Give us the background on yourself, and what you've done so far.

Larry Carrell: I started off recreating my favorite monster makeup and props as a kid, which led to me doing my first haunted house in high school. I went on to do it professionally, running big haunts with 40+ actors, a special FX team, and six-figure budgets. Back in 2002, after 14 years of scaring people, I realized that I was already building sets, working with actors and effects; I just needed a camera.

MD: Several members of the Jacob team met at Texas Frightmare Weekend, right?

LC: Some of the crew met for the first time at the show in past years. Texas Frightmare Weekend 2012 was also probably the only time we had all of the principal cast members in one room at the same time. James Hampton, Michael Biehn, Jennifer Blanc-Biehn, Grace Powell, Krystn Caldwell, Leo Wheeler, Parrish Randall, Keli Wolfe, Nick Nicholson, and Dylan Horne. Stacy Davidson and James Martinelli were also on hand to celebrate. It was a really special evening. Going to Texas Frightmare Weekend is like coming home for us. Loyd Cryer and the Texas Frightmare crowd have always been huge supporters of the Texas independent horror scene.

MD: Talk to us a little bit about how Jacob came together as a project. I understand it wasn't shot all at once, correct?

LC: Jacob began principal photography on January 2011 and was shot in 21 days. Once we had the film in the can, so to speak, we quickly put together a rough cut so we could see what worked and what did not. That is when we decided to give the audience a little more explanation as to why Jacob is the way he is. In the first version of the film, there was a recurring theme with several townsfolk commenting on how bad Jacob's father had been. I really like the idea of giving the audience a few clues about a situation and then leaving it alone for them to imagine what might have happened in their own minds. It turned out that with this piece it was going to be a lot of fun to actually let the audience experience the tragedy of Jacob's dad first-hand. Michael Biehn has always been one of my favorite actors so I wrote the scenes with Michael in mind even though I was pretty sure there was no way we would get him. Sometimes it really pays off to think big because this is one time that I got exactly what I wanted. So with Michael on board we scheduled an additional ten-day shoot for pick-ups and the new scenes.

MD: Some people have the idea that Jacob is a traditional slasher film, where I think it's better compared to a film like Carrie, a drama that goes very wrong in the end. What was your inspiration and thought process while writing the film and creating Jacob's world?

LC: When I write, it just kinda pours out of me. It is like I can see everything happening in my head and I am the only person on earth who knows these characters stories and it is my job to tell the world about them. I like stories that move me. I like characters that you care about. Otherwise, when bad things happen to them, who cares? Being an actor helps because I really spend a lot of time in each character's head. I know what they are feeling. What makes them happy, what makes them sad. Once I know them that well, it becomes about pushing their buttons.

MD: What made you choose to do a double role in the film as well as direct? And all your other roles, too. I was expecting to see your name under "Catering by" in the credits!

LC: I had always planned to do it that way. The story is very personal to me, and I knew that with a limited budget there would be challenges that would arise that could best be overcome by adapting the story on the spot. Since I wrote the story and knew each character so closely, it just made sense for me to direct. Playing Billy and Otis was just something I needed to get out of my system. I really like to challenge myself as an actor, and I wanted to see if I could convince the audience not only that Otis and Billy were two different people but to hate one and root for the other at the same time. It seems to have worked. I can't tell you how many people come out of the screenings thinking they were two different actors.

MD: How did you find your stars, Dylan Horne as Jacob and Grace Powell as Sissy? Just how scabby are your knees from getting down there and thanking God every night that you were the first to find Grace? She's kind of amazing.

LC: Grace and Dylan are both amazing, Back in the days of my dreaded "day job," Dylan walked into the video game store that I managed seeking gainful employment. I instantly knew he was going to be Jacob. So I hired him on the spot, and a great friendship was born. I met Grace working on a public service announcement about terrorism. There were maybe 150 extras there. I had already scoured the kids and sadly didn't see anyone that had Sissy potential. I was helping the casting director move a massive pile of head shots when one fell out on the floor. It was Grace. I knew instantly she was Sissy. I went to the holding area, found her and her mom, convinced them that I was not a creep (despite my "Sexy" belt buckle), and (after having me thoroughly checked out) she brought Grace out for a screen test. The rest is history.

MD: The film looks fantastic, especially for the budget and conditions you were working with. Talk to us a little bit about the process and cinematography on Jacob, how you nailed that look and feel.

LC: The first thing (cinematographer) Stacy Davidson and I did when we started talking about shooting Jacob was get together with a stack of our favorite DVD's and talk about what we liked and what we thought we could achieve with the cameras we were using. We had a Canon T2i, Canon 7d, and a Canon H1. We decided on shooting 2:35:1 to give the film this big, wide, epic look. We decided to try to recreate the style of the 70's era cinematography from the movies we loved growing up. Stacy did a great job with the cinematography and editing on Jacob. The man is a real artist, and the movie would not be what it is today without his touch.

MD: I know Jacob has been screened at many festivals and cons, and you've finally got a home video release. Tell us about that.

LC: Jacob has screened all over the States and in Canada and has won over 14 awards, which led us to distribution with Paris-based WTFilms, who has acquired the international sales rights to Jacob. Kino Lorber's new label Horizon Films has the rights to North America. The street date was April 16, 2013, and we held a launch event at this year's Texas Frightmare Weekend.

MD: Now that Jacob is in the can once and for all, what's next for you?

LC: Acting-wise I have several films in various stages of production. I just wrapped on Stephen Wolfe's The Doll Factory, and I am currently shooting on Shawn Welling's The Legend of Darkhorse County, in which I share a lead role with Lee Majors! He plays an older version of me as the Sheriff. It was super cool working with him. I am also acting in a new film called Sorrow from writer/director Millie Loredo that stars me and Mayra Leal, Eric Martinez, and Donny Boaz.

MD: Traditional final question: What's your favorite horror movie?

LC: Damn it, man! I have so many. It really depends on what kind of mood I am in. I've been on a Clive Barker kick lately so I am going to say horror-wise it is Nightbreed. That one really takes you out there. But my favorite movie of all time is Jaws.

"We are excited to be working with Paul and Mike on this twisted supernatural thriller," said producer Ross M. Dinerstein. "Paul's visceral visual style, combined with Mike's complex characters, will both terrify and entertain the audience."

Content’s Carmichael said, “Paul is such a quality filmmaker – and he really knows how to scare the living daylights out of an audience. We’re so excited to be working with him and our partners at Preferred on such a cool movie. We’re building a really first class business together, and DARK SUMMER looks like yet another great franchise starter.”

At Cannes the Content slate will also include PFT’s cult sequel THE PACT 2 and MR. JONES, written and directed by Karl Mueller and recently acquired for North America by Anchor Bay, as well as Caradog James’ THE MACHINE, which both recently world premiered at the 2013 Tribeca Film Festival; Paul Tanter’s special forces actioner HE WHO DARES; Anthony Leonardi III’s demonic NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR, starring Anne Heche and produced by former Guns N’ Roses lead guitarist Slash; Kieran Parker’s OUTPOST III: RISE OF THE SPETSNAZ; Sean McNamara’s family adventure SPACE WARRIORS, starring Danny Glover, Dermot Mulroney, Mira Sorvino, and Josh Lucas; and Sebastián Silva’s CRYSTAL FAIRY, starring Michael Cera, and Stacie Passon’s controversial CONCUSSION, starring Robin Weigert, which both world premiered in Sundance earlier this year.

So here's something we've never seen happen before. Ben Wheatley’s A Field in England will be the first UK film released simultaneously in cinemas, on DVD, free TV and VoD. Yes, you read that right.

Film4, Picturehouse Entertainment, 4DVD, Film4 Channel and the BFI Distribution Fund are partnering on the day-and-date release, which will take place on July 5 [Friday].

Synopsis
In the war-torn English countryside in 1648, a small group of deserters flee the raging battle through an overgrown field. They are captured and forced to help one of their captors in his search to find hidden treasure he believes is buried in the field. The group descends into a chaos of arguments, fighting, and paranoia, and as it becomes clear that the treasure might be something other than gold, they gradually become victim to the terrifying energies trapped inside the field.

Knowing Adam Green as well as I do, I can tell you first-hand that the only thing bigger than his ambition is his heart. In light of the recent tragic events in Boston, Green is heading home with an agenda that you will WANT to be a part of!

From the Press Release
Horror genre filmmaker, television star, and Massachusetts native Adam Green will return to the Boston area from May 28–30, 2013, to host a series of events and raise money to help those families most affected by the tragic events that unfolded during the 2013 Boston Marathon. The events include an advance screening of the second season of the sitcom “Holliston”, which premieres on FEARnet June 4, 2013; a celebrity benefit and silent auction at the Worcester Palladium; and the first-ever marathon screening of all three Hatchet films, including the first public screening of Hatchet III, opening in select U.S. theaters on June 14, 2013.

Born and raised in Holliston, MA, Adam got his start making local commercials for Time Warner Cable Advertising in 1997, where he borrowed company equipment to make his first feature film COFFEE & DONUTS. In 2000 he moved to Hollywood, CA, and set out to turn the film into a television series. Over a decade later, it was re-developed and re-titled “Holliston” and premiered on FEARnet in 2012, where it was immediately embraced by critics and audiences. Adam also made his mark on the horror genre with the 2006 slasher comedy Hatchet, which went on to become a bona fide fan-favorite worldwide franchise introducing the now iconic genre villain “Victor Crowley” to genre fans around the globe. Through ArieScope Pictures, Adam’s independent film studio, he has written, directed, and/or produced the theatrical feature films Spiral, Frozen, Grace, and Chillerama.

“I live in Los Angeles these days, but Boston is still the place I consider home,” says Green. “I’ve never forgotten where I came from and always infuse my work with Massachusetts references, whether it be showcasing the Newbury Comics logo in the Hatchet series, naming the fictitious ski mountain in Frozen "Mount Holliston", or setting my sitcom “Holliston” in Holliston, MA. While I am just one guy, thankfully I have a body of work and a loyal and extremely passionate fan base within the horror community that I can call upon to step up and help. I think a lot of people underestimate not only the sense of community that genre fans share, but the fact that we are some of the most kindhearted and generous people you’ll ever meet. I know that the Boston chapters of the Hatchet Army and “Holliston” Nation will join me for this, not to mention my fans around the world that will hopefully donate to the cause online. However, the real heroes behind this are my friends at Rock and Shock and Wicked Bird Media, who have worked tirelessly to make all of the arrangements, not to mention all of the various sponsors that are rising to the occasion to support all of this. I’m merely the face of an enormous heart and collective of individuals who want to help.”

So what if The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones hasn't even come out yet? Who needs to worry about how it will fare at the box office given that The Host and Beautiful Creatures bombed spectacularly? Let's talk sequel!

Variety reports that Mister Smith Entertainment is to introduce The Mortal Instruments: City of Ashes, the sequel to the upcoming The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, to international buyers at Cannes next week.

Harald Zwart returns to helm the sequel along with a returning Lily Collins and Jamie Campbell Bower. Lensing on the sequel, penned by Jessica Postigo Paquette, who also wrote the screenplay for City of Bones, begins in the fall.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is an adaptation of Cassandra Clare’s young adult fantasy novel and has a release date of August 23, 2013. Kevin Durand, Robert Maillet, Elyas M'Barek, Lily Collins, Robert Sheehan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jemima West, Kevin Zegers, Lena Headey, Jared Harris, Godfrey Gao, and Jamie Campbell Bower star in the film helmed by Harald Zwart. Jessica Postigo and I. Marlene King wrote the script.

City of Ashes Book Synopsis:
Clary Fray (Collins) just wishes that her life would go back to normal. But what's normal when you're a demon-slaying Shadowhunter, your mother is in a magically induced coma, and you can suddenly see Downworlders like werewolves, vampires, and faeries? If Clary left the world of the Shadowhunters behind, it would mean more time with her best friend, Simon, who's becoming more than a friend. But the Shadowhunting world isn't ready to let her go—especially her handsome, infuriating, newfound brother, Jace. And Clary's only chance to help her mother is to track down rogue Shadowhunter Valentine, who is probably insane, certainly evil—and also her father.

To complicate matters, someone in New York City is murdering Downworlder children. Is Valentine behind the killings—and if he is, what is he trying to do? When the second of the Mortal Instruments, the Soul-Sword, is stolen, the terrifying Inquisitor arrives to investigate and zooms right in on Jace. How can Clary stop Valentine if Jace is willing to betray everything he believes in to help their father?

In this breathtaking sequel to City of Bones, Cassandra Clare lures her readers back into the dark grip of New York City's Downworld, where love is never safe and power becomes the deadliest temptation.
