Leads Cast In House at the End of the Street

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

Today THR reports that Jennifer Lawrence and Max Thieriot will star in House at the End of the Street. It’s a rather “retro” title for a movie which is good to see and reminds me slightly of Joss Whedon’s film “Cabin in the Woods”… In title only of course.

“House” centers on a teen girl (Lawrence) who moves with her mom to a new town and learns that their home is across the street from a house where a double murder took place. Complications ensue when the teen befriends the massacre’s sole surviving son (Thieriot).

Apparently the film is going to be to Psycho what Disturbia was for Rear Window. So basically look for an updated version of Psycho that is borderline plagirism. Peter Block’s A Bigger Boat will produce with Mike Tonderai directing from a script written by David Loucka.

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Another nice looking zombie film, this time, coming from the UK.. it’s Mark McQueen’s – Devil’s Playground.  Click on the image to view the trailer. (Note: the link will take you to the site, once you give there, click on the Devil’s Playground image to be able to view the trailer).

Synopsis

London: The not too distant future. Newgen Industries, a leading pharmaceutical company company, is trying to placate a media uproar. Its new “legal performance enhancer”, RAK-295, has met with spectacular failure during testing, causing severe physical and allergic reactions in all 30,000 of its test subjects….

Allergic reactions in all but one user… Angela Mills.

Angela is pregnant and is making arrangements for own leave of absence from a city full of woe and bad memories for her.

With Angela being the only person not to report any type of reaction to Newgen, Dr. Brooke (Head of Newgen) understands that Angela may hold the key to solving this disaster and enlists Cole, the head of security to find her and bring her in for examination.

But Cole, a hardened ex-mercenary, has just handed in his resignation to Peter White, the CEO of the company. Why? He wants out – the undercover violent and murderous job of solving problems ‘off the record’ has started to weigh heavy on his conscience.  

The outbreak claims Brooke and Peter White and during the struggle Cole is bitten – his fate sealed.

Or is it?…

The Night Projectionist Going from Comic to Film

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Variety reports Myriad Pictures is reteaming with comicbook publisher Studio 407 to bring the horror series The Night Projectionist to the bigscreen.

“Projectionist” marks the second title produced under Studio 407′s first-look deal with Myriad — the first being the comicbook Hybrid, which is tentatively scheduled to begin production later this year.

Projectionist’s story takes place on Halloween Eve in a small-town movie theater, where an all-night Draculathon draws throngs of moviegoers who suddenly find themselves locked inside the theater, which is slowly filling with vampires.

Myriad’s horror credits include Jeepers Creepers 2. The first issue of The Night Projectionist miniseries will hit shelves in February.
