Death Note Remake Showing Faint Signs of Life

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.

Latest Pacific Rim Viral Engineered to Win

Wed, 04/24/2013 - 14:12

Another propaganda poster for Guillermo del Toro's upcoming giant robot vs. giant monster extravaganza, Pacific Rim, has arrived; and like the others in this series, it's all about stomping some Kaiju ass!

Look for Pacific Rim, directed by Guillermo del Toro, in theatres July 12th of 2013. Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Ron Perlman, Rinko Kikuchi, Max Martini, Rob Kazinsky, Clifton Collins, Jr., and Diego Klattenhoff star.

Synopsis
From acclaimed filmmaker Guillermo del Toro comes Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ epic sci-fi action adventure Pacific Rim.

Related News: Visit our Pacific Rim archive

When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

First Installment of NBC's Web-Only Look at Hannibal Episode 1.04 - Oeuf

Wed, 04/24/2013 - 12:50

As we told you a few days ago, NBC decided not to air Episode 1.04 of "Hannibal," entitled "Oeuf," due to its controversial and violent content, opting instead to run a web-only, edited look at the ep. Here's the first installment - check back in a few hours for the rest.

This first video features an introduction from executive producer Bryan Fuller, who explains that "Oeuf" details the relationship between Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Abigail Hobbs, played by Kacey Rohl. He says, “As the series goes on, this relationship gets much more complicated and becomes a load-bearing element of our storytelling. So we wanted to make sure that you have all the scenes to follow the story along.”

An All New Treehouse of Horror Is No Laughing Matter

Wed, 04/24/2013 - 12:30

Sorry, Homer, Bart, Marge, Maggie, and Lisa! When it comes to this latest horror tale featuring a Treehouse of horror, you guys are shit out of luck. What we're talking about here is an all new indie flick that lets it all hang out!

Below you'll find the first artwork for Treehouse directed by Michael Guy Ellis with J. Michael Trautmann starring.

Synopsis
After the sudden disappearance of a local brother and sister, the town of Westlake is put under a curfew by local law enforcement. The annual fair is canceled, much to the annoyance of Killian and Crawford, two brothers attending Bayscout High. They decide to sneak into the woods that night to meet some local girls and shoot off some fireworks.

When their friends do not show up, the two brothers decide to paint the sky. When the fireworks illuminate a structure high up in the trees, they discover a treehouse. Inside it is Elizabeth, whom they recognize from local news reports as the missing sister. She is badly injured and unable to recall what has happened. All she is able to articulate is that "things" took her little brother. Crawford runs for help, while Killian waits with her. Crawford never returns.

What follows is a nightmare journey into hell as the “things” within the woods lay siege to the treehouse. It is only a matter of time before the treehouse – their sanctuary – eventually becomes their tomb. Elizabeth and Killian are forced to find a way out in order to survive and learn the fates of their brothers. Their escape ultimately leads them to a shocking revelation, culminating in a brutal finale with their attackers.

A Dead Island: Riptide Fan Film to DIE For!

Wed, 04/24/2013 - 12:15

Never underestimate the cool factor and dedication of fans. Wanna see something impressive? Then check out the fan film Dead Island: Riptide - No Retreat from YouTuber pwnisher. Yep... pretty bad-ass.

Toby Turner, Leanna Pareja, Coty Galloway, Jim E. Chandler, and Tommy Groth star.

Read our Dead Island: Riptide review.

Game Synopsis
With invigorating new elements infused into a proven mix, Dead Island: Riptide will reanimate the zombie terror in the original game. A monsoon has hit the once beautiful archipelago, and heavy rainstorms have laid waste to large areas of the islands. The city of Henderson and jungle areas on the island of Palanai were flooded, leaving boats as the only remaining way of transportation. Dynamic weather conditions will force the team members to adapt to changing visibility conditions.

A fifth character will join the team, with an all-new and unique skill set. The combined skills of the group will be sorely needed since terrible, new, and unknown zombie mutations have emerged all over the island.

In new hub defense missions the co-op teamplay skills of the survivors will be tested to the limit – they need to strategically place traps, fences, and turrets to fend off oncoming zombie onslaughts and to protect the humans in these sanctuaries. New communication features in co-op mode also allow players to enjoy an even more intense and strategic teamplay experience.

Latest Ghostbusters 3 Whimpers Rooted in Science

Wed, 04/24/2013 - 12:00

Dan Aykroyd is at it again. In a recent interview with ABC News, he revealed some small and inconsequential nuggets regarding Ghostbusters 3. Read on if you care.... in our case we're pretty numbed by it all at this point.

"I feel re-encouraged, reinvigorated by the pages that I have seen," said Aykroyd of the script, which is currently about halfway finished thanks to the tireless efforts of writer Etan Cohen. "I know that we're expecting half of the screenplay to be completed very soon. It should be into production by the fall and be shooting by the new year. I won't say anything; it's very exciting. The Higgs boson and the particle theories, gluons and mesons, that really gives us a scientific base in terms of our fictional storytelling, to open up to another dimension and have something horrible come through."

Yep. There you have it.

Win a Manborg Prize Package

Wed, 04/24/2013 - 10:30

With Manborg finally arriving from Dark Sky Films next week on DVD, On Demand, and Digital - as well as playing in select theaters via TUGG, we've got your chance to win all kinds of goodies!

Up for grabs is Manborg on DVD, a Manborg poster, and a limited edition Manborg t-shirt. And even cooler? Two lucky winners will be getting the whole enchilada!

To enter for your chance to win, just send us an E-MAIL HERE including your FULL NAME AND MAILING ADDRESS. We’ll take care of the rest.

Synopsis:
The forces of Hell have risen to the surface of the Earth to wreak unspeakable havoc on humanity, and it will take a real superhuman to save the world. Or at least Manborg - a spectacular creature of the future and the hero of MANBORG, the cult favorite sci-fi/fantasy homage coming to select theaters and DVD on April 30, 2013, from Dark Sky Films.

The armies of Hell have taken over the Earth, and all that stands in the way of the villainous Count Draculon and humanity's total extinction is a motley crew of misfits led by the mighty Manborg: a warrior who's half-man, half-machine but all hero.

Once a young soldier killed during the first war against Hell, Manborg (Matthew Kennedy, Lazer Ghosts 2) reawakens in the future, rebuilt as a walking weapon and mankind's last hope. Struggling to learn the secret of his origins, Manborg unwittingly befriends a post-apocalyptic Australian punker (Conor Sweeney, Heart of Karl), a knife-wielding vixen (Meredith Sweeney, Father's Day), and a kung fu master (dubbed by Kyle Herbert of DRAGON BALL Z, STREET FIGHTER) before finally squaring off against Count Draculon (Adam Brooks, Father's Day) in a desperate and bloody bid to take back the Earth.

This campy, comedic action flick, which Variety called "enjoyably ridiculous," is also an affectionate and clever tribute to fan favorite '80s films and video games like The Terminator, RoboCop, and Mortal Kombat.

MANBORG is a tour de force for writer-director-editor-makeup artist Steven Kostanski, whose credits include the horror hit Silent Hill and Guillermo del Toro's forthcoming sci-fi adventure Pacific Rim. This lo-fi sci-fi epic from infamous filmmaking collective Astron-6 (Father's Day) was met with an uproariously enthusiastic reception from audiences. Executive produced by TIFF Midnight Madness guru Colin Geddes (Ultra 8 Pictures) and Toronto After Dark's Peter Kupowsky, MANBORG celebrated its world premiere at Austin's 2011 Fantastic Fest and also impressed fans at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival and Fantasia. It has played more than 30 major film festivals worldwide including Whistler, Lund in Sweden, Boston Underground, U.K. Sci-Fi, and Neuchatel in Switzerland.

Special Features:

  • Commentary w/ Director Steven Kostanski
  • Commentary w/ Director Steven Kostanski, Actor/Writer Jeremy Gillespie, and Executive Producer Peter Kuplowsky
  • Deleted & Alternate Scenes
  • Bloopers
  • Behind the Scenes

    Experience Love Sick Love in May

    Wed, 04/24/2013 - 10:15

    Spring and love are in the air, but let's face it... so are heavy doses of pollen and broken-hearted misery, too. I mean, you can't force anyone to love you, right? Well, maybe... at least that's the case in the new flick Love Sick Love!

    From the Press Release
    Amid a cinema landscape of syrupy rom-coms and warm bodied zombies that live happily ever after, director Christian Charles (Jerry Seinfeld’s Comedian, Cheech & Chong’s Hey Watch This) in his latest film LOVE SICK LOVE offers up a film for the romantically challenged. In the spirit of Fatal Attraction and Swimming with Sharks but for the dating world -- a New York businessman’s fling turns deadly when he is teamed with a psychotic serial romantic in this boy meets girl thriller that propels the term "love hurts" to a whole new level. The film will be available on DVD May 21st from Monarch Home Entertainment.

    Dori, a sexy siren, traps Norman, a slick New York businessman, and forces him to live through a year of holidays to prove they're a perfect couple. But with Dori, Valentine's Day, Christmas, and New Year's celebrations take place over one weekend in an isolated country house far from help or a phone tower. The feature stars Matthew Settle ("Gossip Girl") and Swedish actress Katia Winter ("Dexter"), who are joined by Charlotte Rae ("Facts of Life") as Grandma Edna and M. Emmet Walsh (Blood Simple) as Grandpa Ed, along with Jim Gaffigan (Away We Go, Going the Distance) as Settle’s business partner.

    The film premiered theatrically at the Quad Cinema in Greenwich Village, New York, on April 19th and will screen at the NoHo Laemmle in Los Angeles on April 26th – expanding to a wider release across ten top US markets. The film was also made widely available April 19th via a day and date VOD release – to be followed by DVD on the Monarch Home Entertainment label.

    The feature is theatrically distributed by mouseROAR with cross-platform online, DVD, and VOD by Freestyle Releasing and Monarch Home Entertainment. LOVE SICK LOVE is produced by Anne Estonilo and Christian Charles and executive produced by Eric Matejevich. Ryan Oxford wrote the original screenplay.

    Da Vinci's Demons: Go Behind-the-Scenes with David Goyer; Watch Two Clips from Episode 1.03 - The Prisoner

    Wed, 04/24/2013 - 10:00

    Starz has opened up the promo floodgates for "Da Vinci's Demons," and we have a couple of behind-the-scenes videos (one with series creator David Goyer) as well as a sneak peek of Episode 1.03, "The Prisoner."

    The series stars Tom Riley as a 25-year-old Leonardo da Vinci on the cusp of greatness, with intellect and talents that are almost superhuman; Laura Haddock as Lucrezia Donati, a celebrated beauty with obscure motives; Elliot Cowan as the shrewd de facto ruler of Florence, Lorenzo Medici; Lara Pulver as his wife, Clarice Orsini; and Blake Ritson as Pope Sixtus’ ruthless bastard son, Count Riario. David S. Goyer served as showrunner.

    “Da Vinci’s Demons” airs Friday nights at 9pm ET/PT on Starz.

    In the first BTS look Goyer talks about his inspiration behind the series, and in the second the executive producers and actors describe the fantastical world to be found on the show.




    Episode 1.03 - "The Prisoner" (4/26/13 air date):
    Riario (Blake Ritson) discusses his defeat with the Pope (James Faulkner) and a mysterious prisoner. An outbreak of demonic possession at a convent is blamed on the Medicis, but Leonardo (Tom Riley) searches for a rational explanation.

    In the first clip Clarice (Lara Pulver) and Lucrezia (Laura Haddock) talk about Lorenzo (Elliot Cowan), and in the second Riario (Blake Ritson) and the Pope (James Faulkner) discuss Florence.

    UK's Horror Channel to Do The Devil's Business and Get Stiff this May!

    Wed, 04/24/2013 - 09:30

    Heading into May, the UK's Horror Channel have a number of impressive UK premieres up their sleeves - including Sean Hogan's terrifically chilling The Devil's Business (review here) and Keith Wright's touching and modest Harold's Going Stiff.

    And that's not all! They'll also be screening Colin Theys’ Remains and presenting a "Director's Night with Eli Roth." Read on for all the dates and details.

    22:55, Sat May 4 – HAROLD’S GOING STIFF (2011)
    Keith Wright's very funny and surprisingly touching tale investigates a mystery illness turning men in the north of England into something resembling bloodthirsty ghouls. One such victim is Harold (Stan Rowe), an old man whose transformation into something sub-human might just be arrested by the love of Penny (Sarah Spencer), a dedicated home care nurse. But a group of vigilantes have other ideas.

    22:55, Sat May 11 – THE DEVIL’S BUSINESS (2011)
    Two hit men, Pinner (Billy Clarke), a cynical veteran, and the inexperienced Cully (Jack Gordon), are sent to murder an old associate of their underworld boss. But things are not all what they seem in their quarry’s house, and the duo descend into the shadowy darkness of their own tortured souls. Exuding a palpable atmosphere of claustrophobic dread, this is an eerily effective gem from director Sean Hogan.

    22:55, Sat May 18 – REMAINS (2011)
    A vacant casino in Nevada becomes a hellish battleground as a group of human survivors fight a hard-core zombie apocalypse in which the infected grow smarter and stronger every day. Based on a graphic novel by Steve Niles, award-winning director Colin Theys’ feature stars Miko Hughes, whom fans may recognise as the little boy from the original Pet Sematary.

    21:00, Thurs May 30 - DIRECTOR’S NIGHT WITH ELI ROTH
    Roth, famed director of Cabin Fever and Hostel, took time out at FrightFest Glasgow 2013 during the screening of his new film, Aftershock, to wax lyrical on his love of Italian zombie movies as he explains why City of the Living Dead and Demons are such great inspirations for him.

    The Horror Channel (official site here) can be found on Sky channel 319 and 198, Virgin 149 and Freesat 138. Follow them on Twitter at twitter.com/horror_channel.

    Blake Cooper Tweets His Way to a Role in The Maze Runner

    Tue, 04/23/2013 - 21:01

    You know, Twitter has changed the world and the way that we interact within it. It has helped organize revolutions, report news, and now? Now it's led to a key role in the upcoming adaptation of James Dashner's The Maze Runner being cast.

    Director Wes Ball just tweeted that Blake Cooper (pictured) got the pivotal role of Chuck in The Maze Runner. Cooper got Ball’s attention with a flurry of tweets to the director basically saying, “I’m your Chuck!” Ball finally connected the young actor with Fox’s casting director Denise Chamian, who allowed Cooper to send in a self-taped audition for the role. It got him the job. Seriously, how insane is that?

    Cooper will join the previously announced Dylan O’Brien ("Teen Wolf"), Will Poulter, Kaya Scodelario, Aml Ameen, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. Filming is set to begin in May in Baton Rouge for a February 14, 2014, release. Gotham Group will be producing The Maze Runner with 20th Century Fox. Noah Oppenheim and James Dashner (author of the novel) wrote the script.

    Look for more on this flick soon!

    Here's the book's synopsis:

    When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his first name. His memory is blank. But he’s not alone. When the lift’s doors open, Thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the Glade—a large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls. Just like Thomas, the Gladers don’t know why or how they got to the Glade. All they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds them have opened. Every night they’ve closed tight. And every 30 days a new boy has been delivered in the lift.

    Thomas was expected. But the next day a girl is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the Glade. And more surprising yet is the message she delivers.

    Thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. If only he could unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

    Lionsgate to Prove You'll Be the Death of Me

    Tue, 04/23/2013 - 20:35

    Not only does Lionsgate have a spiffy new logo, they've also got a new horror comedy in the works called You'll Be the Death of Me. Read on for your first details, and try not to crack any jokes about their direct-to-video movies having killed you already.

    According to Deadline, Lionsgate/Summit has bought Mark Hammer’s slasher/comedy spec You’ll Be the Death of Me. The logline: Nothing can spoil falling in love in New York City, but a masked knife-wielding psychopath hellbent on keeping you single can certainly make falling in love more difficult.

    Producing is Mandeville Films, who just generated the Lionsgate/Summit zom-com Warm Bodies, which grossed over $110 million worldwide.

    When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes--a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)--who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
