With a name like “Slash” (real name Saul Hudson) it was only a matter of time before he would wind up in the world of horror films. The iconic guitarist of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver is set to start a production company called Slasher Films. Slash is teaming up with Scout Productions and they are aiming to produce films in the vein of 70′s and 80′s thrillers.

They have there first film set up titled “Nothing To Fear” which is about an ancient demon which has an insatiable taste for blood. The script is written by Johnathan W.C. Mills.

Scout Productions have produced the TV series Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and films such as, Session 9 and Fog of War. Who knows how this partnership will turn out but it will be interesting to see what type of input Slash will add to the fold.

What do you guys think?

THR reports actor-producer Michael Emanuel is in preproduction on the thriller “Maneater.” Emanuel, a film and TV actor who has appeared on “ER” and “The Nine,” co-wrote the script with John K. Anderson and will make the film his directorial debut. Eric Lewald (“Trollz”) is executive producing.

“Maneater” tells the story of an FBI profiler-turned-small-town sheriff who begins investigating a series of mysterious murders only to discover that the monster he’s profiling might be himself.

“It’s a story that was told to me by an old Native American back in the late ’70s,” Emanuel said. “It’s based on the Western Ojibwa (Chippewa) legend of the Windigo.”

So apparently the new million Terminator 3000 movie we told you about yesterday has run into a wee snag and its one that made me shake my head and chuckle. I am not up on the ways that filmmakers go about making movies for big studios but this one takes the cake in my views.

Yesterday we told you via ReelComix that Hanover House announced they are working on a million Animated Terminator movie with a PG13 rating goal to reach the largest market possible.

Today from Deadline comes word that Hanover House did not exactly have permission to do this. Pacificor the rights holders of the Terminator franchise sent a cease and desist letter to Hanover House. Eric Parkinson then told Deadline the following in response;

“We’ve arranged a meeting, we’ll show them our money and if the rational brain prevails, they’ll take the deal. If not, I can’t do it without them. You’ll have a followup next week that we are either holding  hands, or not doing the film.

At least we now have our meeting. I hope they will can think outside the box, because if we can make a movie that delivers a million to million rights payment, that is an income source they didn’t realize was possible. If not, it was a good idea anyway.”

So if I want to make a superman movie and send out a press release stating that I am doing an extremely graphic R rated animated version for million is it ok ? For me a PG animated Terminator movie is as wrong as messing with the superman formula
