Paralegal Activity! Paramount Being Sued over Paranormal Activity 4!

Dread Central - Wed, 04/24/2013 - 22:00

In what is probably the most bizarre news story of the day, indie filmmaker Mike Costanza (The Collingswood Story) is waging a legal battle against Paramount regarding Paranormal Activity 4. Read on for details.

THR reports that Costanza has sued Paramount and producers of Paranormal Activity 4, claiming that the film used specific concepts from his work without permission and without credit or compensation. Costanza, who directed and wrote the excellent 2002 independent horror film The Colllingswood Story, argues in a suit filed Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court that in 2010 he submitted material from that film in a pitch meeting with the producers. The material included details of webcam chats by characters in their late teens.

Costanza says he was told at the time that producers Steven Schneider and Spencer Medof were not interested in his concepts or in making a film based on his Colllingswood script, which he had registered with the Writers Guild. He now says that the story he wanted to tell is almost identical to what was later used in Paranormal Activity 4, which was released in 2012. That movie cost about $5 million to make and has grossed more than $138 million worldwide.

Costanza is suing for unspecified damages and an order forcing the defendants to destroy all materials based on his concepts.

First Holliston Season 2 Trailer Arrives with a Rimshot

Dread Central - Wed, 04/24/2013 - 20:20

No, not that kind of rimshot, you friggin' perverts (though we're pretty sure you'll be getting that too eventually)! The wait is over, kids! The official trailer for "Holliston" Season 2 has arrived!

Highlights in Season 2 include the series’ first animated episode, finding the town attacked by a giant blob; a Ring-inspired J-horror episode; a found footage episode; and a season finale that will boast two special musical performances by the talented cast and a shocking final scene that will raise the dead. Be on the lookout for special guest stars including Danielle Harris, Bill Moseley, Sid Haig, David Naughton, Kane Hodder, and James Gunn.

Holliston Season 2 begins on June 4th, only on FEARnet.

From the Press Release
FEARnet will premiere the second season of the hit original sitcom "HOLLISTON" on Tuesday, June 4, at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT as part of its Twisted Comedy Block, it was announced by Peter Block, president and general manager of FEARnet. Season Two of the series—which was renewed for a second season after just two episodes had aired—is set for a 10-episode order, an increase of four episodes over Season One.

FEARnet is currently carried by a majority of the major U.S. cable operators and is in nearly 10 million homes and growing. To benefit those fans who are unable to experience the show on Tuesday nights, for the first time ever, each week’s episode will be streamed on FEARnet.com starting Thursday, June 6, and will be available for a seven-day period. Fans can also catch up on episodes on FEARnet On Demand every Wednesday after a new episode premieres.

"HOLLISTON"—created by celebrated genre filmmaker, Adam Green, who wrote and produced the upcoming HATCHET III, in theaters this June—stars Green and fellow real-life genre filmmaker Joe Lynch (KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM, WRONG TURN 2), as “Adam” and “Joe,” two aspiring horror filmmakers, dealing with the struggles of life, love, and career aspirations during the post-college period where nothing ever seems to work out like it should. With relatable storylines inspired by Green’s own life experiences that mash-up traditional situational comedy plot lines with popular horror genre-themes, "HOLLISTON" is the hip and edgy horror-fueled sitcom that FEARnet fans had been waiting for and have now embraced wholeheartedly.

The series also stars Laura Ortiz as Joe’s longtime girlfriend and adorably demented artist; Corri English as Adam’s confused and on-again/off-again childhood sweetheart; and heavy metal icons Dave Brockie as "Oderus Urungus," Adam’s twisted closet-dwelling imaginary friend and guardian angel, and Dee Snider as "Lance Rockett," the delusional wannabe rockstar who runs the local cable station where "Adam" and "Joe" work. Season Two is loaded with appearances from genre stars such as Bill Moseley (TEXAS CHAINSAW), Kane Hodder (HATCHET III), Sid Haig (THE LORDS OF SALEM), David Naughton (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON), Danielle Harris (HALLOWEEN IV and V), Bailee Madison (DON’T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK), and James Gunn (GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY).

"'HOLLISTON' demonstrates not only the breadth of FEARnet’s programming, but also the broad reach of the horror culture. We surprised people by opting for a sitcom. Now, we’re going to surprise them with the places 'HOLLISTON' goes, as Season Two really celebrates the genre with episodes that mock, embrace, and twist the types of scary movies we love," said Block.

"We are thrilled with how quickly we’ve found an audience with this series and this cast," added Green. "'HOLLISTON' was designed to fill a missing gap in situational television comedies and speak directly to genre fans who can’t typically find these types of themes or comedic sensibilities in the average sitcom."

Following the events of the first season, Season Two ups the ante of outrageousness, taking the show to a wide range of unexpected places. Highlights include the series’ first animated episode, finding the town attacked by a giant blob; a Ring-inspired J-horror episode; a found footage episode; and a one-hour season finale that will boast two special musical performances by the talented cast and a shocking final scene that will raise the dead. The second season will also feature some surprising twists and developments for the four main friends that will have a major impact on their lives and leave viewers anxious for more.

"HOLLISTON" is produced for FEARnet by Adam Green’s TV and film production company, ArieScope Pictures, in association with The Hacienda Film Co. and A Bigger Boat Productions. Joining Green and Lynch as executive producers are Cory Neal and Andrew Mysko, as well as producers Sarah Elbert, Will Barratt, and Sean Becker, who directed many of the episodes this season.

Metro: Last Light is set to release on May 17th for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC. The last Ranger Survival Guide video is now available to prepare you for the horrors ahead. Players will head into the future were the world is bleak and dark... and full of mutated nightmares!

From the Press Release
Deep Silver today revealed the final chapter in the ‘Ranger Survival Guide’ for Metro: Last Light. Exploring the unique equipment and brutal, hand-made weaponry every Ranger needs to survive the perils of the Metro, this chapter also teaches you how to use light as an ally (or even as a potential weapon) as well as detailing Metro’s infamous bullet-driven economy and gun trading and customization mechanic.

Beneath the ruins of post-apocalyptic Moscow, in the tunnels of the Metro, the remnants of mankind are besieged by deadly threats from outside – and within. Mutants stalk the catacombs beneath the desolate surface, and hunt amidst the poisoned skies above. But rather than stand united, the station-cities of the Metro are locked in a struggle for the ultimate power, a doomsday device from the military vaults of D6. A civil war is stirring that could wipe humanity from the face of the earth forever. As Artyom, burdened by guilt but driven by hope, you hold the key to our survival – the last light in our darkest hour…

The game will be available from May 14, 2013 in North America and May 17, 2013 across Europe for PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows PC.

Guillermo Del Toro Working on a Monster Adaptation for HBO

Dread Central - Wed, 04/24/2013 - 19:12

Guillermo Del Toro's slate just got a bit more crowded with the announcement today that he's teaming with HBO on an adaptation of Monster, an 18-volume series of Japanese manga by author Naoki Urasawa.

Per Deadline, Del Toro will co-write the story with Steven Thompson, best known for his work on "Dr. Who" and "Sherlock." Thompson will write the pilot, which del Toro intends to direct. Del Toro will be executive producer and Thompson co-executive producer with Angry Films partners Don Murphy and Susan Montford (with whom Del Toro has been working to turn the H.P. Lovecraft novella At the Mountains of Madness into a feature film) executive producing with Exile’s Gary Ungar. Monster publisher Shogakukan will be consulting producer.

The story revolves around a Japanese surgeon living in Germany whose life enters in turmoil after getting himself involved with Johan Liebert, one of his former patients who is revealed to be a dangerous psychopath.

The project was originally set at New Line but proved too sprawling to be confined to a feature film. Check out the manga's synopsis below, and look for more soon.

Brilliant doctor Kenzo Tenma risks his reputation and promising career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy. Unbeknownst to him, this child is destined for a terrible fate. Conspiracies, serial murders, and a scathing depiction of the underbelly of hospital politics are all masterfully woven together in this compelling manga thriller.

    Mondo Artist Mike Mitchell Profiles Some Genre Greats

    Dread Central - Wed, 04/24/2013 - 16:24

    If you're anything like us, then you appreciate the artwork that the Austin, Texas-based company Mondo has brought to the world. The word "beautiful" simply does not cut it sometimes. New has come regarding their next gallery show for artist Mike Mitchell, and we have some samples. Dig it!

    From the Press Release
    Mondo, the collectible art division of Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, announces its next gallery show featuring the artwork of Mike Mitchell, which will run from April 26th to May 25th at the Mondo Gallery located at 4115 Guadalupe Street in Austin, TX. The Mondo Mike Mitchell show will feature a series of portraits as limited edition giclees for subjects that range from crowd favorites to characters that are slightly under-appreciated in pop culture art. The gallery will open to the public on April 26th from 7:00-10:00 pm with regular business hours to follow for the show's duration.

    Commenting on his artwork, Mike Mitchell said, "For the portrait series I wanted to keep the personalities there, at least how they exist in my own mind. Then apply that to a traditional portrait, something that most of these characters wouldn't be doing. There's an ironic sense about them that I like, but I also just really love these dudes for who they are, and I didn't want to take too much of that away. When I watch a movie and really connect with a character, I often feel a strong urge to draw/paint that person. This show is allowing me to do that; it's giving me the chance to catch up on years of great characters that I appreciate and admire."

    A new one-sheet for the upcoming remake of the Stephen King classic tale of Carrie has arrived from our friends across the pond. Yes, it's not exactly anything we haven't seen, but hey... it's Wednesday. Don't know what that has to do with anything, but whatever, ya know?

    Look for Kim Peirce's Carrie in theatres on October 18th. For more information visit WhatHappenedToCarrie.com! If you're SUPER brave, you can even give the White residence a call at 207-404-2604.

    Synopsis:
    A reimagining of the classic horror tale about Carrie White (Chloë Grace Moretz), a shy girl outcast by her peers and sheltered by her deeply religious mother (Julianne Moore), who unleashes telekinetic terror on her small town after being pushed too far at her senior prom.

    The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine, is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter, Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Judy Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday, Youth in Revolt), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde, The Three Musketeers), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (newcomer Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc. Brian De Palma’s 1976 film version of CARRIE earned Oscar nominations for stars Sissy Spacek and Piper Laurie.

    MGM and Screen Gems’ CARRIE is directed by Kim Peirce and produced by Kevin Misher (Public Enemies). J. Miles Dale (The Vow) serves as executive producer, and Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa (Big Love) wrote the script from King’s original story. CARRIE’s creative team includes Director of Photography Steve Yedlin (Looper), Production Designer Carol Spier (Eastern Promises), Costume Designer Luis Sequeira (The Thing), and Editor Lee Percy (Boys Don’t Cry).

    Joel Silver - Victim of a Frightening Home Invasion

    Dread Central - Wed, 04/24/2013 - 15:42

    Okay, so that headline sounds pretty dramatic, but when word of a film with a painfully generic title comes our way, we have to do or say something to grab you guys! Read on for the latest horror flick from Joel Silver and Voltage Pictures.

    With titles like The Purge and You're Next getting a lot of attention in Hollywood lately, it was only a matter of time before more home invasion themed movies got announced. Enter Home Invasion from director Sean Carter, who'll be working from a script by Joseph Dembner.

    Joel Silver will be producing the film, which tells the tale of a family trapped in their own home by a group of strangers; mysteries to their imprisonment become more and more clear as the night goes on. Man, does all that sound familiar. In any event, let's hope the powers-that-be can come up with a title a bit more stirring, shall we? Stay tuned.

    The sequel, which was filmed outside of New Orleans, Louisiana, from late May to mid-June, 2012, is a co-production of MPI/Dark Sky Films and Hatchet III writer/executive producer Adam Green's Los Angeles-based ArieScope Pictures.

    Death Note Remake Showing Faint Signs of Life

    Dread Central - Wed, 04/24/2013 - 14:29

    January 13, 2011. That was the date that Shane Black (writer of Lethal Weapon, Lethal Weapon 2, Monster Squad, The Last Boy Scout, Last Action Hero) was announced to direct a live action adaptation of the Japanese manga series Death Note. Since then nothing. Until now.

    Recently Bleeding Cool caught up with Black to get an update. "Right now I’ve got this thing at Warner Bros. called Death Note that I like a lot. It’s a Japanese manga that’s very tense and really cool." Yeah, that's not exactly anything earth-shattering, but at least it means that they're still talking about it or Black wouldn't have brought it up.

    Written by Tsugumi Ohba and illustrated by Takeshi Obata, Death Note was originally published in Japan and later collected in 12 trade paperbacks that have sold more than 38 million copies worldwide. The protagonist, Light, is a bright student who stumbles across a mystical notebook that has the power to kill any person whose name he writes in it. Light decides to launch a secret crusade to rid the streets of criminals. Soon, the student-turned-vigilante finds himself pursued by a famous FBI criminal profiler known only by the alias L.

    Death Note is wildly popular in Japan and has been turned into live action and animated films, an animated TV series, novels, and video games. The trio of live action films was distributed by Warner Bros. Japan. Warner Bros. acquired the manga rights from Shueisha and previously got a script draft from Charley and Vlas Parlapanides.

    More soon!
