Solomon Kane Finally Getting a Home Video Release

Dread Central - Tue, 05/14/2013 - 16:24

Solomon Kane is a flick that's gotten a lot of flack over the last couple of years. Is it perfect? No, but it is pretty damned good. Then again, what the hell do I know? I liked The Devil Inside. In any event, the flick is finally headed to Blu-ray and DVD.

From the Press Release
Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS-TWC announced today the Blu-ray™ and DVD release of SOLOMON KANE. The film was directed by Michael J. Bassett (“Da Vinci’s Demons” and Silent Hill: Revelation 3D) and stars James Purefoy (“The Following”), the late Pete Postlethwaite (In the Name of the Father), Rachel Hurd-Wood (Peter Pan), and Max von Sydow (The Exorcist). The character Solomon Kane was created by pulp-era writer and mind behind Conan the Barbarian, Robert E. Howard. SOLOMON KANE heads to retail on July 16, 2013 for an SRP of $26.99 for the Blu-ray™ and $22.98 for the DVD.

Captain Solomon Kane is a brutally efficient 16th century killing machine. Armed with his signature pistols, cutlass and rapier, he and his men unleash their bloodlust as they fight for England in war after war on all continents. As the story opens, Kane and his band of pillagers are carving a bloody path through hordes of defenders in an exotic city in northern Africa. But, when Kane decides to attack a mysterious nearby castle to plunder its rumored riches, his mission takes a fateful turn. One by one, Kane's men are picked off by demonic creatures until he alone is left to face the Devil's own Reaper -- dispatched from the depths of Hell to lay claim to his hopelessly corrupt soul. Though Kane at last manages to escape, he knows that he now must redeem himself by renouncing violence and devoting himself wholly to a life of peace and purity.

SOLOMON KANE Blu-ray™ and DVD special features include a "making of" featurette, interviews and commentary with director Michael J. Bassett, the producers and cast members, a deleted scene, gallery images and a special FX featurette!

The film is written and directed by John Pogue (Quarantine 2) and produced by James Gay-Rees (Senna, Exit Through the Gift Shop), Exclusive Media’s Tobin Armbrust, and Simon Oakes along with Steven Chester Prince and Ben Holden in association with The Traveling Picture Show Company (TPSC).

Based on the theory that paranormal activity is caused by human negative energy, the rogue scientists perform a series of tests on a young patient, pushing her to the edge of sanity. As frightening occurrences begin to take place with shocking and gruesome consequences, the group quickly realizes they have triggered a force more terrifying than they ever could have imagined.

Dread Central - Tue, 05/14/2013 - 15:55

You would think that by now everybody would have enough brains in their head to quit screwing around with the space-time continuum, but no. They gotta keep messing around, changing things. The next flick to do so is Glimmer, and you can read on for details.

According to The Wrap, "Shameless" star Jeremy Allen White (pictured) has landed his first lead role in a studio movie, DreamWorks’ found-footage film Glimmer. White is in negotiations to star in the time-travel thriller that Disney will distribute in U.S. theaters under its deal with DreamWorks, which had no comment on the casting.

Synopsis:
Glimmer is a found-footage film about a group of teenagers who take a camping trip to investigate a series of missing persons and wind up discovering a portal that takes them back in time and traps them in the 1970s. When one of them changes the past, the effects start to snowball with tragic consequences.

Commercials veteran Ringan Ledwidge is directing from Carter Blanchard’s sci-fi script, which was voted to the Top 10 of the 2012 Black List. “Gossip Girl” creator Josh Schwartz handled the most recent rewrite.

The Toy Story of Terror Is Coming for Halloween

Dread Central - Tue, 05/14/2013 - 15:27

Not to be outdone by reigning animated Halloween champs "The Simpsons," the whole Toy Story gang is getting ready to take the spooky season by storm with "The Toy Story of Terror" TV special!

We first told you about the project back in October of 2012, and according to TV Guide all is on track for ABC to air "Toy Story of Terror" this October as a 30-minute special that reunites the original voice cast from the Toy Story franchise.

From Pixar, "Toy Story of Terror" follows the adventures of the toys post-Toy Story 3, in which a fun road trip takes a very unexpected turn. "Bonnie is on a road trip to go see grandma with her mom, and the toys are in the trunk," producer Galyn Susman says. "Mom gets a flat tire and they have to spend the night at a motel, and all kinds of chaos ensues."

While Terror will include Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen), Mr. Potato Head (Don Rickles), and Rex (Wallace Shawn), Jessie (Joan Cusack) will have a more prominent role in the special. Additionally, Bonnie’s toys — Mr. Pricklepants (Timothy Dalton) and Trixie (Kristen Schaal) — who first appeared in the third installment, will be featured, while we’ll also get to actually meet Combat Carl, who briefly appeared in the first film when he was blown up by Sid, who will be voiced by Carl Weathers.

Airing sometime near Halloween, the special will have a horror feel after one of the toys goes missing at the motel. The rest of the gang will find themselves caught up in a mysterious sequence of events that must be solved before they all suffer the same fate. That said, the producers took inspiration from the horror genre — Psycho, Aliens and Predator, in particular — but found the right balance for both adults and children.

Cemetery Dance Announces Stephen King's The Dark Man: An Illustrated Poem

Dread Central - Tue, 05/14/2013 - 15:18

Cemetery Dance has announced a new Stephen King project, The Dark Man: An Illustrated Poem, which will be illustrated by Glenn Chadbourn and printed in a few very limited and collectible editions. Read on for the details, covers, and some sample drawings .

From the Press Release:
"Randall Flagg came to me when I wrote a poem called 'The Dark Man' when I was a junior or senior in college. It came to me out of nowhere, this guy in cowboy boots who moved around on the roads, mostly hitchhiking at night, always wore jeans and a denim jacket. I wrote the poem in the college restaurant on the back of a placemat, but that guy never left my mind." — Stephen King

The Dark Man: An Illustrated Poem will be published in four states:
• World's First Edition, First Printing Trade Hardcover ($25)
• World's First Edition, First Printing SLIPCASED trade hardcover featuring a different dust jacket and shrink-wrapped with a deluxe custom-made slipcase and a collectible Glenn Chadbourne bookmark featuring a Dark Man drawing that doesn't appear in the book ($49.95)
• Traycased Signed Limited Edition of only 500 copies printed in two colors on a specialty paper stock, bound in a fine material with two-color hot foil stamping, a different dust jacket, a color frontispiece, satin ribbon page marker, and embossed endpapers, signed by Stephen King and Glenn Chadbourne ($350)
• Signed Lettered Edition of only 52 copies printed in two colors on a specialty paper stock and bound in two different fine materials with gilded page edges, a different dust jacket, a different color frontispiece, a satin ribbon page marker, imported endpapers, a hand-drawn Dark Man illustration by Glenn Chadbourne in every copy, all protected in a custom deluxe traycase, signed by Stephen King and Glenn Chadbourne ($1750)

The first 5,000 trade hardcovers printed will be SLIPCASED and shrink-wrapped with a bonus, collectible Glenn Chadbourne Limited Edition bookmark featuring a Dark Man drawing that doesn't appear in the book.

NOTE FOR COLLECTORS: The Lettered Edition SOLD OUT already, but a WAITING LIST (click here) has been set up if you wish to be notified if any copies become available.

Stephen King first wrote about The Dark Man in college after he envisioned a faceless man in cowboy boots and jeans and a denim jacket forever walking the roads. Later this dark man would come to be known around the world as one of King's greatest villains, Randall Flagg, but at the time King only had simple questions on his mind: Where was this man going? What had he seen and done? What terrible things...?

i have ridden rails...

More than forty years after Stephen King first wrote his breathtaking poem "The Dark Man," Glenn Chadbourne set out to answer those questions in this World's First Edition hardcover featuring more than 70 full-page illustrations from the talented artist behind The Secretary of Dreams.

i have slept in glaring swamps...

This Cemetery Dance Publications hardcover is a true marriage of words and art, with Chadbourne pulling the images from King's imagination and illustrating them in magnificent detail. This incredible blending of King's words with Chadbourne's art creates a unique page-turning experience you can return to again and again, always finding new details hidden on every page. You'll discover hidden layers and mysterious secrets for years to come.

i am a dark man...

So who is The Dark Man and why is he traveling the country? The answers are terrifying...

Key Details:
• Printed in a very limited and collectible print run — a tiny fraction of what a New York publisher normally prints for a new release
• Heavily illustrated — a story told through the blending of King's words and the artwork
• The only trade hardcover edition planned at this time in any market
• Beautifully designed with both the collector and general reader in mind
• The first 5,000 copies of World's First Edition, First Printing trade hardcover will be given the deluxe treatment: shrink-wrapped with a different dust jacket, a custom-made slipcase, and a collectible Glenn Chadbourne bookmark featuring a Dark Man drawing that doesn't appear in the book.

From Dusk Till Dawn The Series in the Works

Dread Central - Tue, 05/14/2013 - 15:14

There are still some of us out there who haven't quite recovered from the painful boners brought about by Santanico Pandemonium's snake dancing scene from the original 1996 flick From Dusk Till Dawn, though the insipid sequels definitely helped. However, we may just be getting cursed again.

According to Broadcasting and Cable, Univision has formed a strategic partnership with El Rey Network, which is chaired by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (From Dusk Till Dawn, Spy Kids), and Factory Media, Univision president Cesar Conde announced during the company's Upfront presentation in New York City on Tuesday.

Noting Univision's partnerships with ABC and Participant Media, Conde introduced the “new partnership” with El Rey and introduced Rodriguez, who touted a series for the programming service based on his film From Dusk Till Dawn, which he will write, produce, and direct.

El Rey is set to launch at the end of the year via Comcast. Univision will be responsible for the back office operations, sales, and distribution of the network.

New Wolf Creek 2 One-Sheet is Both Evil and Dead on Arrival

Dread Central - Tue, 05/14/2013 - 14:41

Loving homage? Blatant rip-off? Joke gone awry? All of those descriptions could easily apply to this new sales art for Wolf Creek 2, but no matter how you slice it... it's just not good. See for yourself.

Directed by Greg Mclean, written by Mclean and Aaron Sterns, and produced by Helen Leake (Swerve, Black and White, Heavens Burning), Greg Mclean, and Steve Topic (Crawlspace), the sequel started production seven years after the original Wolf Creek hit screens internationally in November of 2005. It not only gave Australian audiences an appetite for their own horror movies but showed the world a fresh, daring take on the genre. Selected to screen at Sundance and the Cannes Film Festival, it was supported by The Weinstein Company, who presented it to an international audience. It then went on to claim the title of the number one Australian film in 2005 and also became the highest grossing Australian R18+ film of all time.

Wolf Creek 2 will be distributed in Australia by Roadshow Films. International sales are being handled by Arclight Films.

Synopsis
Lured by the promise of an Australian holiday, backpackers Rutger, Katarina, and Paul visit the notorious Wolf Creek Crater. Their dream Outback adventure soon becomes an horrific reality when they encounter the site’s most infamous local, the last man any traveler to the region ever wants to meet: Mick Taylor (John Jarratt).

As the backpackers flee, Mick pursues them on an epic white-knuckled rampage across hostile wasteland. Only one will remain to be dragged back to his lair to witness the true magnitude of his monstrosity. And if the last man standing is to have any hope of surviving where no one else has survived before, he’ll have to use every ounce of cunning to outwit the man behind the monster and become every bit as ruthless as the monster inside the man.

Paul Lee, President, ABC Entertainment Group, is unveiling the network’s new lineup to the advertising and media communities this afternoon, and we got a look at the schedule, on which "Resurrection" is sadly missing. But the network added the following to its press release: "Please note shows picked up but not listed on the schedule will debut later in the 2013-14 season."

The people of Arcadia, Missouri, are forever changed when their deceased loved ones suddenly start to return. An 8-year-old American boy (Landon Gimenez) wakes up alone in a rice paddy in a rural Chinese province with no idea how he got there. Details start to emerge when the boy, who calls himself Jacob, recalls that his hometown is Arcadia; and an Immigration agent, Martin Bellamy (Omar Epps), takes him there. The home he claims as his own is occupied by an elderly couple, Harold (Kurtwood Smith) and Lucille Garland (Frances Fisher), who lost their son, Jacob, more than 30 years ago. While they look different, young Jacob recognizes them as his parents.

Those closest to the family try to unravel this impossible mystery, including Sheriff Fred Garland (Matt Craven), whose wife, Barbara, drowned 30 years ago while trying to save Jacob. But this boy who claims to be the deceased Jacob knows secrets about his own death that no one else knows -- secrets that Fred’s daughter, Gail (Devin Kelly), will begin to investigate and discover to be true.
